When Lin Zhennan personally lifted the gauze curtain beside Lin Manlu's bed for Qu Wuming, Qu Wuming was stunned.
Lying on the bed was a woman who was sleeping with her eyes closed, and her face was sallow and skinny. Perhaps she had not eaten for too long. Not only were her lips chapped and her eye sockets sunken, but even the delicate skin that should have been broken at the age of seventeen was lost.
It has the luster it deserves.
Qu Wuming looked at Lin Manlu's face carefully. After a moment, his calm look suddenly lost its sense of proportion. He stretched out a hand to touch the woman's cheek, but the hand began to tremble involuntarily.
"Senior Qu?" Lin Zhennan saw this and said cautiously.
Qu Wuming was brought back from his thoughts by Lin Zhennan. He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and tried his best to keep a calm voice and said: "She is Lin Manlu?"
"Well, it's my little girl." Lin Zhennan nodded. Apart from worrying about his daughter, he couldn't help but also secretly cursed in his heart. He had already talked to this senior Qu all the way, and there was no other girl in the room. Why did he need to confirm it again?
?Could it be that—this senior Qu is just confused?
Qu Wuming didn't pay any attention to the surprised looks of Lin Zhennan and his son, and gently sat down next to Lin Manlu. His eyes were full of tenderness. The longing accumulated for more than three hundred years came to his heart like a bursting dam, and his eyes suddenly became blurry.
Got up.
Lin Zhennan was standing at the head of Lin Manlu's bedside. He saw that Qu Wuming looked wrong at first, and then his eyes were filled with tears. He thought it was Qu Wuming who had discovered that his beloved daughter was helpless. His heart sank and his eyes sank.
Yihei almost fainted. Lin Manlu's two brothers saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to support Lin Zhennan. They looked at Qu Wuming expectantly, but were surprised to find that this senior Qu... was actually crying silently?!
What's happening here……
Xu Shi finally noticed the gazes of Lin Zhennan and his son. After a while, Qu Wuming raised his hand to wipe his tears unnaturally. Suddenly he looked up at the father and son and said, "Look at me.
Eye!"
Lin Zhennan and his son didn't know what was going on. They all looked into Qu Wuming's eyes. However, the next moment they felt their heads buzzing and their eyes became a little dull...
"Remember, you just sent me to the house to see Lin Manlu for medical treatment. In order not to disturb me, you all went out and waited at the door. Go!"
Lin Zhennan and his son walked out of the house with distracted eyes, as if sleepwalking, turned around and closed the door, and then stuck it at the door like three wooden pillars.
He used the Sky Eye Technique to erase the memories of the father and son for a moment, and then drove them out. Qu Wuming then turned around and looked at the woman on the bed carefully, and said softly: "Lin Wanqing, welcome back..."
————
With a creak, the door of the house was gently opened from the inside, and Qu Wuming stepped out with a gloomy face.
Lin Zhennan and his son at the door trembled. They all turned around as if they were waking up from a dream. When they saw Qu Wuming coming out, they hurriedly gathered around and asked, "Senior Qu, I don't know..."
"She's not sick, nor does she seem to be poisoned. I actually can't see what happened to her..." Qu Wuming said in a deep voice, "However, I have given her a piece of Immortal Lotus Root Spirit Root, which is enough to make up for her.
The physical body and soul have been hurt these days. Just find out the cause and you can wake up."
When Lin Zhennan and others heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief. Qu Wuming then asked, "Has anything unusual happened before she was like this?"
"An unusual thing?" Lin Zhennan and his son looked at each other. The young man, who was seventeen or eighteen years old and looked very similar to Lin Manlu, thought for a moment and then asked Lin Zhennan, "Dad, the marriage proposal from the City Lord's Mansion was rejected.
, is this something unusual?”
Lin Zhennan bit his lip and pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "Forget it!" After saying that, he looked up at Qu Wuming, but saw Qu Wuming's murderous eyes staring at him, with a chill in his eyes, as if he wanted to
"Senior Qu, yes, it's like this..." Lin Zhennan claimed to have experienced the world, but when facing Qu Wuming's gaze at this moment, a kind of fear came from his soul, and he hurriedly lowered his head to avoid Qu Wuming.
The nameless eyes replied, "A few months ago, I had a escort that I wanted to personally escort to the capital of the Pure Land Kingdom. When Manlu found out, she pestered me to go with her, saying that the Pure Land Kingdom is the country where Buddhism flourishes. She wanted to
Go visit the Buddhist temple there.”
Lin Zhennan paused and added: "This child has been very close to Buddhism since she was a child. Since we took her to the temple for the first time, we found that she really likes the sound of the monks chanting sutras in the temple, even though she can't understand it.
, but she seemed very familiar with it. Later, when she got older, she always loved to go to the temple to give alms and worship Buddha, and she could often recite the scriptures she had heard. If she had not made it clear that she did not want to become a monk, we would have almost banned her.
She goes to the temple again."
"Later, I couldn't resist her, so I took her to the Pure Land Kingdom." Lin Zhennan continued, "The journey was uneventful, but when we returned to Chang'an City smoothly, we happened to bump into the driver of the third son of the city lord's palace. Then
The third son of the city lord's palace is surnamed Zhen, and his name is Zhen Cai. He is very different from his sister Zhen, who has a reputation for talent. He is a complete playboy. He is proficient in eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling. He is a famous libertine in Chang'an City.
Young Master."
"What a coincidence, Man Lu did not ride in a sedan that day, but rode a horse alongside me, and was caught by the Third Young Master Zhen... That afternoon, the city lord's palace sent a matchmaker to the door, saying that he wanted to marry Man Lu as his concubine. My Man Lu
Although Lu has never been married, it is because she has been practicing martial arts with a famous master since she was a child that she has been delayed until now. Even if she wants to get married, she will not marry a naughty kid like Zhen Cai."
"The matchmaker took advantage of his power and messed around in the escort agency. In the end, Man Lu was annoyed and was thrown out by her collar. At first, we thought there would be some follow-up stalking in the City Lord's Mansion, but from that day on, the City Lord's Mansion
It was always quiet over there and there wasn’t much movement. We didn’t take it to heart anymore.”
"Looking back now, Man Lu fell ill on the seventh day after driving away the matchmaker." Lin Zhennan looked at Qu Wuming and said, "Could it be that the city lord's palace is behind this?"
Qu Wuming frowned and said in a deep voice, "You guys wait for me at home while I go to the City Lord's Mansion to explore."
With that said, Qu Wuming turned around and left.
At this moment, a figure flashed at the corner door, and a young escort hurriedly walked in. Seeing Lin Zhennan from a distance, he said: "Chief escort, the matchmaker from the city lord's palace is here again! She said there is a way to save Man.
I exposed my sister's life and made it clear that I want to see you!"
Qu Wuming and Lin Zhennan looked at each other and thought, just as they were about to go find you, they came to your door?
"Let's go!" Qu Wuming snorted coldly and walked towards the front yard. Lin Zhennan and others were busy following behind.
In the front hall, a well-dressed middle-aged woman was sitting at a small table with an arrogant expression, her head raised and she didn't know what she was thinking. When she heard footsteps at the door, she was about to get up to speak, but she saw someone coming in.
He was a burly man dressed like a swordsman. He couldn't help but be stunned.
When the matchmaker saw the strong man coming towards her menacingly, with a cold light in his eyes, as if he was fierce, she couldn't help but take a few steps back timidly, and said: "Who are you? No, don't come here.
!This is Fuwei Escort Agency! No outsiders are allowed to run wild!"
"Hmph, you are not from our Fuwei Escort Agency, why are you using our banner?!" Lin Zhennan's voice came from the door, with a rather unkind tone, but in the matchmaker's ears, it sounded like a fairy voice.
The matchmaker quickly walked around the tables and chairs in the front hall, dodged Qu Wuming and came to Lin Zhennan. She grabbed Lin Zhennan's sleeves and said with a flattering smile: "Mr. Lin, you are here! What are you doing here?
There will be such a vicious man coming out, it will scare the slave family to death!"
"Don't talk nonsense, Mrs. Wang, that's a distinguished guest from my escort agency!" Lin Zhennan shook his arm and shook off the matchmaker's hand. He walked to the main seat in the front hall, bowed and invited Qu Wuming to sit down, and then turned to the matchmaker.
He said: "Why did Wang Po come here today?"
When the matchmaker saw that the fierce man was allowed to sit at the main seat by Lin Zhennan, and the head escort Lin Zhennan was willing to accompany him, she rolled her eyes and stopped mentioning her displeasure. She smiled and took a few steps forward to salute.
Said: "The slave family is here to congratulate Mr. Lin, the head of the bodyguard!"
"Happiness? Where does happiness come from?" Lin Zhennan asked knowingly.
"Haha, it's not just a joy, it's a double happiness!" Wang Po said with a smile, sitting down nearby, "I dare to ask General Lin, the slave family heard that Miss Manlu has been ill recently? She seems to have been ill.
He has been in a coma for several days, is this possible?"
"How did you know?" Lin Zhennan frowned slightly and asked.
"Haha, of course it was Master Zhen of the City Lord's Mansion who told the slave family!" Wang Po did not notice the chill flashing in the eyes of Lin Zhennan and Qu Wuming at this moment, but was still immersed in the set of words she had prepared a long time ago.
"You don't know, Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin, that since meeting Miss Manlu, Third Young Master Zhen has never thought about tea or food. Even if you invited the slave family out last time, Third Young Master Zhen
I have never been angry at all, I just blame myself for being too hasty and doing things recklessly."
"Later, ever since I heard that Miss Manlu suddenly fell ill and fell into a coma, Third Young Master Zhen was really worried! People who go around seeking medical advice are so pitiful. This effort pays off. Third Young Master Zhen really asked for help.
A famous doctor arrived and said that he will definitely be able to save Miss Manlu! No, Master Zhen sent the slave family here just to tell Mr. Lin about this great news!"
Lin Zhennan was somewhat moved by the miracle doctor Wang Po said. He looked at Qu Wuming and saw that Qu Wuming was looking at Wang Po expressionlessly. He had no choice but to suppress the idea of questioning the miracle doctor and then asked: "Then what did you say?
What's the matter with the second happiness?"
"Haha, the second joy is, of course, congratulations to Mr. Lin for getting a good son-in-law!" Wang Po replied with a smile.
"How do you say this?" Lin Zhennan asked.
"Boss Mr. Lin, do you know the identity of that miracle doctor?" Wang Po did not answer directly, but asked mysteriously.
"What is your identity? Please tell me." Lin Zhennan suppressed the anger in his heart and asked with a smile and clasped his fists.
"What does Mr. Lin know about the Taoist cultivator?" Wang Po asked.
"I know a thing or two." Lin Zhennan nodded.
Seeing Lin Zhennan's answer, Mrs. Wang said: "As for that miracle doctor, haha, he is a really amazing person..."
