Chapter 20 Fighting Grievances

"Thank you two sword immortals for helping me and saving my son's life!" The old widow didn't say a word, knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times in a row.

Seeing this, the two hurriedly stepped forward to caress them, but the old woman refused to get up. I've never been thanked like this, and I don't know what to do for a while. Fortunately, Yun Yao stepped forward to relieve the siege and said: "Auntie, don't be like this, we are not sword immortals, just cultivators on the mountain, and it is only our business to draw a sword to help when we see injustice!"

Lu Yu also hurriedly catered and said: "Yes, yes, auntie, hurry up, we can't stand it!" said hurriedly soothing the old woman.

The old woman was grateful and hurriedly asked, "I don't know what the two benefactors call yet?"

"Hello aunt, my name is Lu Yu, this is my junior sister Yun Yao. I don't know what to call my aunt?"

"You call me Aunt Sun, this is my son, called Xiaohai. Xiaohai, don't come and thank you two adults!"

The child had just woken up, still very weak, and thanked him softly. Seeing this, Lu Yu stepped forward to check his pulse, thoughtfully, took out a vial from his arms, handed it over, and asked: "Aunt Sun, although Xiaohai's child is not in danger of life, his body and bones are too weak, I have a bottle of elixir, give him one pill a day, and he will be able to dance vigorously again in ten days!"

Aunt Sun carefully took the small medicine bottle, clenched it tightly in her hand, and took out a shabby cloth bag from her arms and handed it to Lu Yu. When I opened it, I saw that there were some fragments of silver taels inside, and I hurriedly returned the money bag.

Aunt Sun refused to accept it for a long time, and persuaded her: "My lord, you can accept it, so that my heart will feel better!"

Lu Yu looked at the money bag in his hand and didn't know what to do. The eldest lady saw that he was upset, and said: "My lord, you can rest assured, although my family is relatively poor, but I live a self-sufficient life, and it is still possible to survive." ”

Before he could say ......, the money bag was snatched by the junior sister. Yun Yao winked and said with a smile: "Then thank you Aunt Sun for your kindness!"

After seeing this, the eldest lady felt a little more comfortable, bowed to the two, and then helped the child to leave. When leaving, he also muttered: "I will keep in mind the kindness of the two adults today, and if you appreciate your face, you will go to my house to sit down, and my home is not far from a small village a few miles outside the city." I will definitely greet you two when the time comes!"

After the two watched the mother and son leave, Yun Yao weighed the money bag in her hand, and seemed to have a plan.

"Senior sister, why did you accept the eldest mother's money bag just now?"

glanced at him, knocked on Lu Yu's head, and said angrily: "You, you are really a wooden fish head, the mountains are different from the mountains, and everyone under the mountains has a sense of rivers and lakes." For us, money is an external object, but it is the way of human existence. If we don't accept it just now, the eldest lady will be embarrassed. Master often said that good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and we saved her son's life, although it should have been, but now we can't protect ourselves, and even food and shelter have become a problem. This money should be regarded as a response to our urgency, and it can be regarded as a great favor for us. If you really can't go down the mountain in the future, you can go and meet the eldest lady in person!"

But Lu Yu still felt that something was wrong after thinking about it carefully, and he just wanted to refute but was stopped by his junior sister. Yun Yao glanced at the sky, yawned and said, "I've been gone for so long, why don't we find an inn to stay overnight!"

Looking at the sky, he found that the sun had already set, and said with some concern: "Senior sister, aren't we going back to the mountain today?" I am afraid of ......" Before he finished speaking, he realized that his senior sister had long disappeared, and hurriedly looked around.

I only heard a voice in the distance: "Senior brother, hurry up, why are you still stupid? It's not about the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the streets will be lively at night!"

After walking for a long time, I saw an inn. As soon as the front foot stepped into the threshold, the shopkeeper stepped forward and carefully considered the next two first. Seeing that the two of them had extraordinary temperaments, they thought that they should be knights walking the rivers and lakes, so they smiled and flattered: "Two heroes, but what do you need?"

Yun Yao looked around the inn, nodded as if satisfied, and said, "Little Er, find us two rooms." ”

The shopkeeper shook the rag on his shoulder, and hurriedly responded: "Okay, the two guest officers come with me!" came to a corner and stopped, and said: "The guest officer is really embarrassed, the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and many tourists come to witness the lantern festival on the bank of the Lingzhou River, so the guest room is not enough, so let the two heroes be wronged and live in this corner! Then he pointed to the one diagonally opposite and said, "This little brother, that room is yours." ”

Pushing the door open, I walked in, and saw that there was only a table and a few stools in the room. The windows face the sun, and the sunlight shines on the bed. threw the worn-out money bag in his hand to Xiao Er. Xiao Er took the money bag, weighed it in his hand a few times, and said with a smile: "If the guest officer needs anything, call me at any time!" After speaking, he walked away.

Yun Yao threw herself on the bed, rubbed her two tired eyes, and said, "Senior brother, I'm a little tired, so I'll rest first." Call me again in the evening!"

Lu Yu thought to himself: Senior Sister followed Senior Sister Mei to practice spells for a long time in the morning, and then the sword went down the mountain, and she was tired when she thought about it. He quietly walked away, closed the door softly, and walked to his room. As soon as I entered the guest room, I put down the heavy medicine basket on my shoulder, drank a cup of tea, and lay down on the bed. I lay down for a long time, but I couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, so I simply got out of bed and walked to the window, looking at the noisy market and noisy pedestrians outside the window. I thought that I had lived on the mountain for too long and lived a quiet and leisurely life, but I suddenly returned to the bottom of the mountain and felt a little uncomfortable.

At this time, I saw a few women outside the window choosing hairpins, recalling the emerald hairpin that my sister had looked at before, and I thought it would be better to secretly buy the hairpin, which was a birthday gift for my sister. But I don't have any money on me, what can I do! Just as he was pondering, his eyes were on the bulky bamboo basket on the table, and he was a little happy, thinking that it would be better to sell these herbs for some silver taels.

As soon as he thought of this, he picked up the bamboo basket, left the guest room, walked to the door of the junior sister's room, listened attentively, and found that there was no sound inside, thinking that he should be asleep, so he left the inn quietly on tiptoe without disturbing, and looked around for the medicine hall on the street.

After wandering around for a long time, the surrounding buildings gradually changed, at first they were all roadside vendors, but at this time they were surrounded by some magnificent restaurants and inns, and then they realized that they had come to the city. Even the pedestrians on the streets are dressed in graceful and luxurious clothes. From time to time, there are a few sedan chairs walking by him, and I don't know if it is the daughter of those people. I couldn't help but sigh a few times, and when I looked intently, I saw a very conspicuous plaque not far away, which was carved with four big characters "Qian's Medicine Hall".

This medicine hall is not a medicine hall, and the front foot has just stepped into the threshold, and a pungent smell of herbs has reached the nose. On weekdays, I face these herbs every day, and my nose is becoming more and more sensitive. Closing his eyes and sniffing carefully, Lu Yu couldn't help but come out with a few words, and said: "Well, the five-leaf golden lotus! It can only be found in the dark and damp swamp, it opens once every two years, with three leaves as the majority, the five-leaf one is rare, the more leaves there are, the stronger its medicinal power, and it can cure most snake venom." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw the man who had been sorting out the medicine cabinet on the side turn around and looked at Lu Yu a few times. Lu Yu carefully observed the man, the man was about fifty years old, and he was dressed brightly with a jade-like jade pendant hanging from his waist, and he didn't look like a miscellaneous guy but like the shopkeeper of this shop.

The shopkeeper also looked at Lu Yu, and at first he was a little surprised to see that he was carrying a basket of medicinal herbs on his back, but when he saw the clothes on his back, he felt some admiration in his heart. I thought to myself: This dress is not a cultivator of the Tianshan Sect. But isn't the Tianshan Sect all focused on cultivating immortals and asking questions? This person is......

The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and then only heard the shopkeeper clap his hands, stepped forward, and said with a kind face: "Little brother, I understand a lot." That's right, this is indeed the five-leaf golden lotus I just got a few days ago, and I'm planning to refine it. I don't know what the little brother is doing here!"

Seeing this, Lu Yu hurriedly bent down and saluted, and replied: "Don't dare, don't dare, junior brother, I just came down the mountain, and I don't have any silver taels on my body, thinking about whether these herbs on my body can be exchanged for some money!"

The shopkeeper put on a pair of glasses, looked at them knowingly, and said to himself: "Well, yes! These herbs are not ordinary mountain grows, but they grow on the fairy mountain, and the little brother is a member of the Tianshan faction?"

Lu Yu nodded incomprehensibly, and did not hide it anymore.

Originally, the shopkeeper was not surprised when he saw these herbs, but when he saw a snow lotus, he was a little surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Little brother, is this a Tianshan snow lotus?"

Lu Yu was a little surprised when he saw that the shopkeeper was holding it with both hands very carefully, but he didn't expect that the medicinal herbs that can be seen everywhere on weekdays are so rare here. calmed down his thoughts and said: "The shopkeeper's good vision, this is indeed the Tianshan Snow Lotus, this thing originally grew next to the Tianchi, and the master transplanted it to the back mountain. This thing has the function of warming the kidneys and helping yang, dispelling wind and defeating dampness, and invigorating blood through menstruation. ”

As soon as the words fell, he asked impatiently: "Dare to ask the little brother, who is the teacher?"

Lu Yu looked at him urgently and didn't know how to veto, but responded with a smile.
