Chapter 37: Nothing happens
When he got home, in front of his granddaughter, Qin Lao definitely couldn't hide anything, so he had to tell everything about today.
When he heard that he was injured by the green-maned beast, Qin Xiaodou was anxious and angry!
She knows very well the toxicity of this green-maned beast, if there is no antidote within three days, grandpa will die!
So, she wanted to call Uncle Lu as soon as possible. However, he was stopped by his grandfather. and sternly told him that Lu Guozhong must not be allowed to know about this matter.
Although Xiaodou is grandpa's beloved, he can't stand up to his grandfather in this kind of big thing, so he has to put down the phone.
After the only hope is gone, Xiaodou is completely out of luck.
But she couldn't bear to watch her grandfather leave like this, and finally on the third night, she took an iron pot and a fruit knife, left a suicide note, and secretly walked to the east.
Later, she encountered mountains and rivers. The two helped each other and benefited each other, and finally took down the demon beast and got the antidote.
Although after Xiaodou came back, he always emphasized that Shanhe was saved by her. But Qin Lao knew in his heart that if it weren't for the mountains and rivers that happened to arrive, his precious granddaughter would definitely not be able to come back, and he himself would have died of poison.
Therefore, the mountains and rivers can definitely be regarded as the common life-saving benefactor of their grandfather and grandson.
After listening to this explanation, Shanhe finally understood why Qin Xiaodou appeared in the wooden house alone in the first place, and why she left in a hurry after getting the blood of the beast, it turned out that it was all to save her grandfather. For this reason, Shanhe can't help but feel a little moved and admired.
However, as for how the two grandfathers and grandsons recognized the green-maned beast and knew its toxicity and antidote, Qin Lao did not mention it. And Shanhe, who met for the first time, didn't ask too much, so he had to put it in his heart for the time being.
......
After the meal, under the warm farewell of the grandfather and grandson, Lu Guozhong and Shanhe left the community.
Out of the gate of the community, Lu Guozhong did not rush to take a taxi, but lit a cigarette and slowly walked west along the road.
Shanhe thought about it and followed, it was obvious that the director had something to say.
The two of them walked hundreds of meters but were still as quiet as ever, and no one took the lead to speak.
The atmosphere is exceptionally dreary.
Shanhe, who was following behind, saw that the director didn't speak for a long time, and he was uneasy, so he thought about it alone:
Will the director fire me?
I didn't do anything bad, didn't I just tell him in advance that I was a cultivator, and I couldn't be expelled for this.
The director...... Will you do it to me?
It's unlikely, isn't it? I also saved his friend, so it would be unkind to take revenge like this.
Besides, I don't have anything to do with it, so what's the point of moving me? You can't hurt each other just because we're all cultivators, right?
Alas, what a struggle. Director Lu, what do you want to say?
As soon as he thought of this, Lu Guozhong stood up violently as if he had heard his broken thoughts, turned around and broke the silence:
"Shanhe, Qin Lao and Xiaodou are like my relatives, I am very grateful for you saving them! As for you and me...... Lu Guozhong frowned and paused for a moment before saying:
"Well, let's just act as if nothing had happened. ”
After speaking, he didn't give Shanhe a chance to speak, and with a wave of his hand, he pulled Shanhe into a taxi and drove towards the city.
After getting on the bus, there were outsiders present, and it was inconvenient for Shanhe to say anything, so he was silent all the way.
But in my heart, I kept thinking about the meaning of the director's words just now.
To be honest, the sentence "just act as if nothing happened", Shanhe actually didn't understand what the director wanted to express.
How could the two of them have known each other's identities as if nothing had happened? Isn't this self-deception?
However, after he pondered it carefully, he gradually realized two meanings:
First, the director should hope that he doesn't care too much about their status as a cultivator, and can just live as before;
Second, it implies that the mountains and rivers draw a clear line in this matter, and do not ask each other and do not intervene, as if nothing really happened.
In general, it is a sentence: live a peaceful and troubled life!
And this ending, of course, is what Shanhe wants the most, and he happily accepted it when he figured it out.
......
More than an hour later, the taxi arrived at Shanhe's residence.
Seeing Shanhe get out of the car, Lu Guozhong stayed in the car and continued to drive west while thinking.
In fact, when Shanhe first entered the second courtyard, he vaguely noticed that this young man was a little special. Especially after the operation turmoil, he decided to do this, so he agreed to leave Shanhe in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Therefore, after learning the identity of Shanhe today, Lu Guozhong was not too surprised.
It's just that this kid is actually Qin Lao and Xiaodou's life-saving benefactor, which he didn't expect.
Now that he knew that Shanhe was a cultivator, he would definitely not take this person lightly, and the next step was to secretly investigate the origin of Shanhe.
As the saying goes, you can't have the heart of harming people, and you can't have the heart of preventing people!
If this kid is hiding some conspiracy, wouldn't it be extremely dangerous to keep him around?
As for the remarks just now, it was just for Shanhe.
He, Lu Guozhong, has been in the rivers and lakes for so long, so he won't be so stupid that he will really get along with the other party without asking the origin!
About half an hour later, Lu Guozhong returned to his residence.
As soon as I entered the door, I heard my phone ring.
glanced at the caller ID, frowned slightly, and answered:
"Hey, Xiaodou, is there something to do with me so late?"
......
"Huh, what? You say...... Do you want to come to work in the hospital?"
......
After Shanhe arrived home, he sent a message to his senior sister as soon as possible.
With great excitement, he told Shan Xue that he had found a guy who cooked as well as his master today!
But no one replied for more than ten minutes after the message was sent, and I guessed that my sister must have gone to the task again, so I threw my phone aside.
As soon as he lay down, he heard the little bracelet speak:
"Master, you can't take Old Man Lu's matter lightly, you should find out his details as soon as possible. ”
"Don't you need it, don't we all say it, let's just act as if nothing happened?"
"He said so, but are you sure that he won't investigate you? In the cultivation world, a big drama of cannibalism is staged every day, and you can be safe without knowing the details? Master, you are too naïve, right?"
Although the words of the little bracelet are ugly, the truth is true, Shanhe thought about it and replied:
"Oh, well. However, how should I investigate? What should I investigate? I won't know any of this! Alas, as long as I can find out the depth of the director's cultivation, everything else will be easy to do......
Listening to Shanhe talk about the word cultivation, Xiao Bang seemed to remember something, and after a few seconds of silence, he said:
"By the way, if you want to talk about Old Man Lu's cultivation...... Master, I have a new opinion!"
"Oh, what do you think?" asked Shanhe curiously.
"According to my analysis, this old man Lu's cultivation is ...... Probably not as tall as you!"
