Chapter 7: Life
"Originally, remember what you said today, if it doesn't come true in the future, you will die!" Chen Lingling waved her small fist and shook it in front of Li Chong's eyes.
Li Chong smiled and did not answer.
"Lingling, you're okay! Great, I'm dying, I heard that something happened to Duyun Mountain, and you happened to go to the mountain again, I'm dying!" A young man in a gorgeous purple brocade robe hurriedly chased up from behind Li Chong and the others, and ran to Chen Lingling's side and said with great concern.
This person is only in his early twenties, with a luxurious aura on his body, a pair of thick eyebrows and big eyes, fair skin, and long black hair tied with a jasper hairpin, draped behind his shoulders.
"Brother Jiejun, it's you, thank you for your concern, I'm fine" Chen Lingling saw that the purple-clothed young man's face changed several times, and finally smiled indifferently and responded, obviously knowing this person for a long time, but he didn't seem to have a good impression.
"Yes, hehe, yes, yes?" The man in purple nodded and smiled, and the afterglow swept over Li Chong and paused, asking a little strangely.
"Well, his name is Li Chong, he is my friend, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have come back today," Chen Lingling explained.
"Li Chong, did I save you? Thank you" The young man in purple rolled his eyes and said with a faint smile, but it was unnatural to look at it.
"I, it's my business that I saved her, brother, why do you want to thank me? Li Chong smiled evilly.
Chen Lingling heard what Li Chong said, and her eyes widened, "His name is Wang Jiejun, and he is the young master of the Wang Family Firm, the first trading house in our Duyun Town."
"It turned out to be Young Master Wang, it's rude," Li Chong looked so surprised, nodded and smiled.
Wang Jiejun didn't understand what Li Chong's words meant, and said with some displeasure: "Li Chong, it's not from the town, why haven't I seen you?"
"It's just an ordinary person, who lives in Tianxiang Medicine Zhai now, but it's really foreign," Li Chong explained.
"What? You live in Tianxiang Yaozhai! Why don't I know?" Wang Jiejun was a little excited and looked at Chen Lingling.
"This, you don't need to know, my grandfather let him live!" Chen Lingling said with some embarrassment.
"Okay! I'll come to your house to look for you another day, there is something else to do today, you can pay attention to yourself.1" Wang Jiejun smiled faintly, his face was a little ugly, and after speaking, he turned around and walked back, but the corner of his eye still stayed on Li Chong for a moment.
When Wang Jiejun walked away, Li Chong burst out laughing, "This kid likes you, it's so fun!"
"Boring you!" Chen Lingling snorted coldly and quickened her pace.
Returned to Tianxiang Medicine Zhai Li Chong first took a bath, now he is covered in mud, it is really uncomfortable not to take a bath, not to mention Chen Lingling, it is already late after taking a bath, Li Chong came to the backyard of Tianxiang Medicine Zhai alone, and after staying here for a few days, Li Chong still understands some basic common sense.
A round of silver crescent moon hung in the dim night sky, and Li Chong stared at the night sky with a sluggish face, "I don't know if what my parents saw was the same bright moon as what I saw?" Li Chong sighed, until now, he still couldn't believe what happened during this time, not that he didn't dare, but he was actually unwilling to accept it.
"Little brother, look at the moon alone" Uncle Chen's voice came out, Li Chong turned his head to look, Uncle Chen was coming from the side of the room, walked to his side and sat down.
"Uncle, do you think that sometimes Providence deliberately makes people happen? Why is people's roads always so tortuous and bizarre, can't they be smoother?" Li Chong asked with a look of surprise when he saw Uncle Chen coming.
"I have lived for most of my life, I have seen a lot of people in the world, and there are a lot of partings in life and death, when it comes to the road of life, not to mention that I have really seen through some things, in fact, the most afraid of people living is that there are no twists and turns, you think, eat and sleep every day, and live a stable life, but what is the fun of that?
"Is it?" Li Chong seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and carefully understood Uncle Chen's words.
"Yes, life is to dare to challenge unknown new things, you were brought here by a few thunderbolts, maybe it is providence, I can see that you are very confused, but when I met the immortals today, although your behavior was a little excessive, I can still see that you have a new goal, right?" Uncle Chen said slowly like an elder.
"Well, maybe the gods can help me, but the old man also saw it, the so-called immortals, hehe, didn't put me in his eyes at all" Li Chong smiled bitterly.
"The world can't be forced, what should be yours is yours, it's not not, but the pursuit is okay and necessary, I've been in this twilight town all my life, and now I'm nearly seventy years old, and my body is not good, otherwise I still want to fight! But you're different, you're still young, you have capital, we used to think that the so-called immortals were fabricated by others, and now we see the real immortals, although there is no chance, but at least it shows that the immortals in this world are stored zĂ i, you can pursue" Uncle Chen's cloudy old eyes rarely showed a fine light, and he said solemnly.
"Pursuit?hehehe, according to what you said, this world is too big, so many people, there are very few people who see the real immortals, let alone look for it, how can I find it as a mortal?" Li Chong shook his head and sighed.
Actually, I think you are very special, especially when you save Lingling today, you sacrifice your life and forget death, it is a rare tenacity, you have not given up by the old man in gray several times, you will definitely have a lot of success in the future, if you don't dislike it, stay in my shop, I will hand over the whole shop to you to take care of" Uncle Chen smiled faintly, his tone was full of appreciation for Li Chong.
"Uncle is kind, but I can't agree, to be honest, you and Lingling have treated me like family these days, I am very grateful, but I really want to go back to my hometown, there is my most important person waiting for me, I must find a way to go back!" Li Chong and Uncle Chen looked at each other and explained sincerely.
"It's up to you, I don't force it, but I really want you to stay, you're a good young man" Uncle Chen nodded, revealing a sense of disappointment in his words.
Li Chong was silent, this old man surnamed Chen was really good to him, he and Chen Lingling depended on each other, maintained the operation of this medicine restaurant, and was even more kind-hearted, Chen Lingling's parents died early, and they were brought up by Uncle Chen, this old man made him respect, in China, such a person is really rare.
Looking up at the sky, the moon and stars were scarce, Li Chong didn't speak, just looked at the sky quietly, "I don't know if this is the same sky as the earth?" Li Chong said to himself in his heart.
"Hey, wake up, when are you still sleeping!" In the early morning, a loud scream came from the early Tianxiang Medicine Workshop, and Li Chong was lying on the bed in an ordinary guest room, and the door was being kicked in.
"Grandma, what are you doing!" Li Chong reluctantly stood up from the bed and opened the door, outside the door, Chen Lingling was staring at him impatiently in a cyan embroidered robe.
"Come with me to the street, I heard that someone has opened a shop called Mingxin in the west of the town, let's go have breakfast! Grandpa hasn't gotten up yet," Chen Lingling said excitedly when she saw Li Chong come out.
"That's it, aren't there two other guys in this medicine shop, why are you calling me, do you know that it affects my sleep?" Li Chong said with a speechless expression.
"Hey, you're like this when you ask you to eat, it's really troublesome, I can tell you, this is to give you face, whether to go or not!" Chen Lingling waved her small fist with a threatening look on her face.
"Go! The words of the life-saving benefactor, can you not listen?" Li Chong shook his head, bent himself and replied, one of the two of them showed a happy face, and the other looked helpless and walked towards the street, Li Chong had to wash in the past, but after arriving at this place, he was a little helpless, the people here have no habit of brushing their teeth, it should be said that they have not brushed their teeth.
In the early morning, the population of Duyun Town was small, and there were not many people on the entire wide street, but some shops opened early, and Li Chong and Chen Lingling stood side by side and headed towards the west of the town.
