"Grandma, I'm back. I've brought you delicious food!" Lu Shuangshuang happily ran to her grandma's bed with the turtle soup in her hand. "Grandma, wait for me. I'll heat it up for you!"
"Ah, it's not good for you to pack food for your classmate's reunion …" Although grandma knew that Lu Shuangshuang was being filial, Lu Shuangshuang's actions would embarrass her. Grandma didn't want her to be looked down upon.
"No, it's me … my classmate ordered a separate portion for me …" Lu Shuangshuang quickly said. At this time, Xiao Chen also walked in. She introduced Lu Shuangshuang to her grandma. "Grandma, this is my classmate Xiao Chen. He's here to see you!"
"Hello grandma, I'm Xiao Chen. I'm Shuangshuang's classmate," Xiao Chen said quickly.
"Ah, Shuangshuang, you have a guest. Why didn't you tell me earlier? Look, I'm still mumbling a lot. How bad is that? " Lu Shuangshuang's grandma was a little embarrassed. She said to Xiao Chen, "Young man, you're Shuangshuang's classmate. Please sit down …"
"You're welcome." Xiao Chen sat on the stool beside the bed. The furniture in Lu Shuangshuang's house was simple, and there was no place to sit. However, Xiao Chen didn't care. "Grandma, how's your illness? I know some medical skills. Can I take a look at you? "
"Ah, you know medical skills too? Okay, take a look at me. It's an old problem of mine. It's been like this for a long time. Sigh, it's a waste of money and a burden to Shuangshuang. Otherwise, she would still be in school like you, right? " Grandma Lu muttered and felt sorry for herself. "If you ask me, I'd rather have died a long time ago. But Shuangshuang is a filial child."
"Grandma, you can't say that. Shuangshuang and you depend on each other. You're her spiritual support. If something happens to you, what will she do?" Xiao Chen knew that Lu Shuangshuang cared about her grandma very much. Otherwise, she wouldn't have agreed to the evil practitioner's conditions. "And don't worry, I'll try my best to treat you."
As he spoke, Xiao Chen held Grandma Lu's wrist and checked her pulse to check the condition of her body. But after checking, Xiao Chen frowned!
Lu Shuangshuang's pulse was very chaotic, and the inside of her body was also extremely poor. It could be said to be a mess. Many of her organs were no longer working, but her life was completely hanging on by something, which was why she didn't die.
However, it also showed that the medicine made by the evil practitioner was useful. He also had some research in medicine, and he could use a special method to prolong people's lives. To put it bluntly, it was actually similar to western medicine, which used a ventilator to keep people alive in the ICU ward.
However, this kind of problem was not a problem for Xiao Chen at all. As long as he used the dregs of the medicine, Grandma Lu would be able to stand up again like a normal person, and the impurities in her body would be excreted, so that her organs would be rejuvenated.
There was no major problem in her body. It was just the deposition of toxins and the deterioration of her body functions, which was relatively easy to cure. Thinking of this, Xiao Chen said, "Grandma Lu, your problem is actually not a big deal. I can make you stand up again with a radiant face, and then prolong your life. You won't be a burden to Lu Shuangshuang anymore …"
At this time, Lu Shuangshuang just walked into the house with the stewed turtle. When she heard the second half of Xiao Chen's words, she immediately frowned. "Xiao Chen, when did I say that my grandma would be a burden to me? Don't talk nonsense … "
"Shuangshuang, how can you talk to a guest like this?" Grandma Lu glared at her and said, "What Xiao Chen means is that he can cure my disease and make me like a normal person, so that I won't be a burden to you. Why can't you listen to him?"
"Ah …" Lu Shuangshuang suddenly felt a little embarrassed, but she was surprised and happy. She looked at Xiao Chen and asked incredulously, "Really? You can cure my grandma's disease? "
"Well, wait for me. I'll be back soon." Xiao Chen stood up. There was no time to lose. Originally, he wanted to use the dregs, but after thinking about it, Grandma Lu's body was too weak, and he was afraid that the dregs wouldn't be able to bear it. Therefore, he planned to prepare some low-end medicinal materials alone. Otherwise, Lu Shuangshuang's grandma wouldn't be able to move after taking the medicine. She wouldn't be able to absorb the medicine, and it would be even more harmful if it stayed in her body.
"Ah, there's no hurry." Although Lu Shuangshuang wanted her grandma to recover, Xiao Chen had been tossing and turning for a day and a night. He should rest. In particular, he watched her sleep last night. He hadn't slept yet. Thinking of this, Lu Shuangshuang's face turned red.
"It's okay. Let grandma drink the soup first. I'll be back soon," Xiao Chen said.
After leaving Lu Shuangshuang's house and getting into the car, Xiao Chen said to Elder Heaven Ancestor, "Elder Heaven Ancestor …"
"Prepare the medicine …" Elder Heaven Ancestor said.
"…" Xiao Chen was speechless.
"Not only do I have to care about your daily life, but I also have to help you pick up girls?" Elder Heaven Ancestor snorted. "Other people's masters are only in charge of cultivation …"
"Isn't this also cultivation? If I get Lu Shuangshuang, I can improve my cultivation, right?" Xiao Chen asked shamelessly.
"You win." Elder Heaven Ancestor sent two prescriptions to Xiao Chen's mind and said, "One is for Grandma Lu Shuangshuang, and the other is for you to cultivate!"
Only then did Xiao Chen remember that he had broken through and needed to change the medicine. He drove the car in the direction of Little Hong's pharmacy.
"You're here!" Hong Zhu said listlessly when he saw Xiao Chen.
"What's wrong with you? You don't look like you slept well. "Xiao Chen was slightly stunned and asked.
"It's not that I didn't sleep well!!! Why did you call me yesterday! "Hong Zhu complained." I woke up and couldn't sleep again. I'm so angry! "
"Ah, sorry, I didn't think too much about it." Xiao Chen smiled bitterly and apologized.
"Forget it, why did you call me here? Didn't I give you a lot of medicine last time? Did you use them all? " Hong Zhu and Xiao Chen's relationship was good now, so there was no need for Xiao Chen to buy medicine again and again every three days. Hong Zhu had given him a few packets last time, enough for him to use for a while.
"No, I need to change the medicine. I didn't use all the medicine last time. I'll bring it back for you." Xiao Chen said, picked up a pen and paper on the counter, wrote down two prescriptions, and then handed them to Hong Zhu. "I want one for this, and a few more for this."
"Oh." Hong Zhu glanced at the prescriptions. The first one was very ordinary and she could easily make it, but the second one surprised her slightly. "What is this? Devil Stalk Fruit? I don't have it here. "
"You don't have it?" Xiao Chen was slightly surprised. He had originally thought that Hong Zhu would be able to obtain any medicine as long as he could name it. After all, the title of the little princess of the Hong Chamber of Commerce was not something that she had casually obtained. Previously, the Shen Family's rare medicine had been obtained by her, so there was actually something that she didn't have?
"En, actually, the Devil Stalk Fruit is not a very precious medicine. However, this fruit must be used within twenty-four hours of being picked, or it will lose its medicinal effect. I definitely don't have it here, so I can't help you import it. If I send it here, it will basically expire," Hong Zhu explained.
"So that's how it is …" Xiao Chen was a little disappointed. "Then … can I plant this Devil Stalk Fruit myself?"
"You should be able to, but it's already winter, so it's not easy to cultivate the seeds. If you need it, I can only help you cultivate some seeds next spring and you can plant them here," Hong Zhu said.
"Next spring …" Xiao Chen couldn't help but frown. Didn't that mean that he wouldn't have any medicine for a while? Wouldn't his cultivation speed become even slower?
"How about this, I'll help you prepare a few packets of medicine that don't have the Devil Stalk Fruit. If you can obtain some Devil Stalk Fruit, you can add them yourself …" Hong Zhu paused for a moment before continuing, "I can only help you this much. It's possible that I will have to leave soon."
"Ah? Leave? "Xiao Chen was shocked." Where are you going? "
"At most, I can stay here until the end of the year. It won't be long before the new year comes, so I have to return home to report on my work …" Hong Zhu said. "After that, at the start of spring next year, I will be returning to the sect. My little sister, Hong Yan, will be coming back. When that time comes, you can look for her if you need anything!"
"Then … will you still be coming back?" Xiao Chen suddenly realized that he was a little reluctant to part with Hong Zhu. Although they hadn't known each other for a long time, they seemed to have experienced many things together. From the first time they met, to gradually familiarizing themselves with each other and doing 'business' together. Now that she suddenly said that she was going to leave, Xiao Chen felt a little uncomfortable.
"I don't know, I probably won't, right? After all, this is only a branch of the Hong Chamber of Commerce. I can't stay here forever. I will either return to the sect or return to the headquarters. But if you want to find me, you can call me on my cell phone! "Hong Zhu said with a smile." With a cell phone, everything has become a global village. "
"Mm, alright …" Xiao Chen nodded, but there was a trace of reluctance in his heart. It was an indescribable feeling, but he just didn't want Hong Zhu to leave him …
"Alright, this is all I have. If you have nothing to do, can you help me look after the shop for a while? I'm going to sleep for a while! "Hong Zhu said.
"Then you can close the shop, I'll be leaving first." Xiao Chen still had to return to Lu Shuangshuang's home, so how could he help Hong Zhu look after the shop?
"Alright, then just help me pull down the iron fence outside the shop. There's no need to lock it, so others will know that it's closed," Hong Zhu said while yawning.
Xiao Chen said goodbye to Hong Zhu and returned to the shanty town where Lu Shuangshuang's home was. His heart was a little heavy, but life was just a matter of meeting and parting. He couldn't change the lives of others, so he could only try to change his own life.
"Xiao Chen, you're back!" Lu Shuangshuang didn't expect that Xiao Chen would come back so soon. She had just served her grandmother dinner and was preparing to brew medicine for her. She was cleaning the electric clay pot.
"Mm, you don't need to brew your medicine, just brew this medicine." Xiao Chen told Lu Shuangshuang the medicinal ingredients that Grandma Lu had prepared. "Two and a half hours."
