Chapter 180: Lu Xiao shows the way
()
"Brother Lin, don't look at Jinxuan's girl who doesn't want to see you like this, in fact, it's all because there are very few outsiders in the village, and there is one thing you don't know, let me tell you."
Looking at Lin Chen, who was frowning, and Lu Jinxuan, who didn't give Lin Chen a good look at him at all, a person in the village cautiously approached Lin Chen's side and said mysteriously.
But before he could continue, Lu Hong, who was leading a black donkey, had already shouted: "You don't know Jinxuan's girl's temper, if you let her know that you are nosy, it won't make your family unpeaceful."
As soon as this person heard Lu Hong's words, his sturdy body couldn't help but shudder, and he glanced at Lu Jinxuan who was going away with some twitching on his face, and then smiled at Lin Chen, "Little Brother Lin, it's not that I don't want to talk about this matter, I believe you have also heard Brother Hong's words, I can't afford to offend Jinxuan's girl, if she knows about it, I'm really afraid that she will demolish my house."
Looking at this big man's expression that didn't seem to be fake, and then at Lu Hong, who shook his head slightly under his gaze, Lin Chen could already have a preliminary understanding of Lu Jinxuan's character, and these strong men who wanted to come to Lujia Village were tricked by her before.
However, he still had something urgent to ask Lu Xiao, so he couldn't care if Lu Jinxuan gave him a good look, so he had to follow Lu Xiao, ready to find an opportunity to ask.
As for what Lu Hong said, although Lin Chen had doubts in his heart, he could only put it aside.
Lu Xiao's residence is more special, it is not in Lujia Village, but next to the stream outside Lujia Village, next to the stream.
This stream is the only water source in the vicinity of Lujia Village, because it flows out of the deep forest, it is not only sweet and clear, but more importantly, the water quality of the stream is very good, and it is very suitable for medicinal bathing.
It is precisely because of these reasons that as the only person in Lujia Village who is familiar with the method of medicinal bathing, Lu Xiao naturally chose this place as his residence.
As for Lu Xiao's granddaughter, Lin Chen also got a lot of information from the mouths of some children who were still sticking to him.
Lu Jinxuan has not lived in Lujia Village since he was twelve years old, and went to a place outside, as for what place it was, no one in the village gave Lin Chen an answer.
And Lu Jinxuan usually only comes back occasionally on some important festivals in the village, or when she receives a message from Lu Xiao, but even so, judging from the love of these children in the village for her, it is obvious that she will come back from time to time.
Sent away the children around him one by one, and took out a small jar of purple jade honey from the storage bag and handed it to Lu Tianyin, and after a few words of advice, Lin Chen walked to the house where Lu Xiao was, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
From the mouths of these children, it can be known that Lu Xiao may be the only person in the entire Lujia Village who has contact with the outside world, otherwise, he would not send Lu Jinxuan somewhere outside.
Then in this way, maybe you can learn more information about this place from Lu Xiao's mouth.
When Lin Chen appeared outside the door of Lu Xiao's house in contemplation, he almost collided head-on with Lu Jinxuan who was holding a teapot, but fortunately he reacted in time, and when he found that a dark shadow appeared in front of him, he had already taken a step to his side, otherwise he would directly collide with Lu Jinxuan.
"Hmph, walk longer, don't fall down and ask my grandfather to heal you", Lu Jinxuan snorted.
"Jinxuan, what are you still doing standing there, grandpa's mouth is almost dry, hurry up and make a pot of tea", noticing the movement at the door, Lu Xiao, who had already sat down, said slowly.
"Oh, grandpa, you wait first, Jinxuan will go fetch water", Lu Jinxuan said in a sullen voice.
Then he glanced at Lin Chen coldly, and didn't give Lin Chen a good look on his face at all, so he took the teapot in his hand and walked to the stream not far away.
"Young man, don't take it to heart, the reason why Jinxuan's child treats you like this is just because she has anger in her heart, and when the anger in her heart disappears, it will be fine, don't stand outside, don't think the house is shabby, just come and sit first", Lu Xiao first smiled at Lin Chen, and then pointed to a position in the house.
Lin Chen was even more puzzled in his heart now, on the contrary
I wanted to know where I offended Lu Jinxuan, so after sitting down, I looked at Lu Xiao and asked.
"Senior Lu Xiao, please forgive the kid for being rude, it's just that the kid is really puzzled in his heart, Miss Jinxuan and I should be meeting for the first time, but why does she hate the kid so much?"
Facing Lin Chen's inquiry, Lu Xiao seemed to have already known, and said with a smile: "It's understandable that you don't know, after all, you were in a coma at the time, but these are harmless little things, and there is nothing to say."
"Hmph, grandpa, how can you say that, this matter is a trivial matter, you must know that those medicinal materials were collected by Jinxuan with a lot of effort, and they were all used for you to regulate your body, and they were all used up by this unknown brat", Lu Jinxuan, who was standing at the door, pointed at Lin Chen and said angrily.
Lin Chen's face was stunned for a while, and then he also remembered one thing, when he was unconscious, before taking the medicinal bath, there was indeed a quarrel in his ears, and he also had some doubts in his heart at that time.
It's just that after his injuries healed, no one in Lujia Village mentioned it to him, so he forgot that there was such a thing.
Now that he knew this, Lin Chen also felt a deep sense of guilt in his heart, stood up with a heavy face, bowed deeply to Lu Xiao again, and said in a deep voice: "The predecessor is so gracious, the kid doesn't know how to repay it."
"How do you repay it? Do you know the value of those medicinal materials? and know how important those medicinal materials are to my grandfather? If it weren't for you, my grandfather wouldn't owe others an agreement," Lu Jinxuan still said to Lin Chen.
"Okay Jinxuan, grandpa already knows from Lu Hong's mouth that this time they can obtain more than fifty years of monkey wine, the credit is all on the young man, with this year of monkey wine, the value is far higher than those medicinal materials, so it can be offset", Lu Xiao looked at Lu Jinxuan, who was becoming more and more difficult to control his emotions, and said softly.
It's just that Lu Jinxuan is still glaring at Lin Chen, and he has no intention of stopping.
"Enough Jinxuan, it's okay to let you make a little fuss in normal times, but when you return to the village today, you're still like this, aren't you afraid of other people's jokes", Lu Xiao suddenly said seriously.
Sensing a trace of anger in Lu Xiao's tone, Lu Jinxuan was also stunned for a while, and then put the half-open teapot in his hand on the table, and ran out with red eyes.
Lin Chen was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly said to Lu Xiao: "Senior Lu Xiao, this matter is indeed Lin Chen's fault, and Miss Jinxuan is just thinking about you."
"Needless to say, this girl Jinxuan has always been spoiled by the old man, and it's time for her to be wronged, otherwise I don't know what it will become", Lu Xiao looked at Lu Jinxuan who was rushing away, waved his hand and said.
Although Lin Chen wanted to open his mouth to persuade Lu Xiao again, he found that he felt some inexplicable pressure under his perceptive eyes, and couldn't help but sit back in his place.
Seeing this, Lu Xiao smiled slightly on the old man's face and said, "The old man knows what you young man wants to ask, you can also ask with confidence, the old man must know everything."
Lin Chen was slightly shocked in his heart, as if any of his thoughts were pierced by Lu Xiao's eyes, but the most important thing was to confirm it right now.
"Since the seniors already know what the kid wants to ask, then I don't know if the seniors have a way?", Lin Chen hurriedly spoke.
In the face of Lin Chen's inquiry, Lu Xiao pointed to the teapot on the table unhurriedly, Lin Chen understood, took the teapot, and poured it into the teacup in front of Lu Xiao.
"Since the young man asked this, he was mentally prepared to come, and the old man didn't say anything more," Lu Xiao said.
Then he took a sip and continued: "That little girl's situation is extremely special, and it is the first time I have met the old man, and there is really no way to wake her up by relying on the old man's crude medicinal bath method."
Hearing Lu Xiao's words, Lin Chen's face was heavy, and then he said sincerely: "Since the seniors already know what the kid will ask, then I think the seniors also know the kid's plans, and I can't hide it, the person the seniors said is the kid's own sister, and the kid's only relative in this world, so I ask the seniors to show the way for the kid."
"Just now, the young man also heard from my granddaughter's angry words, the old man went out this time, but he owed someone an agreement", Lu Xiao said with a smile.
Lin Chen frowned, and then remembered that in Lu Jinxuan's words just now, he did say such an agreement, so he wondered: "I don't know what the kid can do?"
Lu Xiao took another sip of the tea in the teacup, and said mysteriously: "Although this agreement is an agreement between the old man and others, it is also beneficial to the young man, because in a radius of hundreds of miles, if there is the ability to beat that little girl, there is no other choice but there."
