Chen Yuanhua and Chu Huailiang made some necessary preparations and entrusted Chen Su to Yunrou. Chen Su's injury was not serious and he would wake up in just three to five days. Chen Yuanhua prepared some medicines for him. Then he notified him.
Shen Yu then set off to get the seven-hole purple lotus.
Cuiyu Mountain is only more than a hundred miles away from Jiuli Town, but the mountain is undulating and stretches thousands of miles to the north. The mountains have towering ancient trees and rugged rocks. There are many poisonous insects and beasts in the mountains. Chen Yuanhua and his two men have already penetrated deep within half a day.
Cuiyu Mountain. They had already known about Huntian Huo Xiong, and when they left, they were even more determined to succeed or succeed.
Three days passed by in the blink of an eye. During these three days, Yunrou stayed by Chen Su's side, her eyes filled with bloodshot eyes. Min'er also stayed with her mother, her little face full of fatigue. Yunrou caressed her daughter lovingly.
his forehead, and gently touched her little face.
"Mom, look at Brother Chen Su." Min'er pointed her little finger at Chen Su on the bed.
Yunrou hurriedly turned her head, only to see Chen Su's eyelids shaking, as if in pain, and struggling again. After a long time, she finally opened her eyes with difficulty, and then her face was filled with pain, and even the corners of her eyes were shaking.
Yunrou asked anxious questions and kept busy. Chen Su sometimes shook his head and sometimes closed his eyes. It seemed that he still had not fully recovered.
"Aunt Rou, why don't you see my father?" Chen Su woke up for a long time before finally speaking. He had never seen Chen Yuanhua, and felt a little uneasy in his heart. His intuition told him that he might have gotten into a lot of trouble this time.
"Oh, your father has something to do, so he has to go and do some work first." Yunrou was worried that Chen Su had just gotten better, so she shouldn't say too much to him, so she just dealt with it perfunctorily.
"Su'er, you have been sleeping for three days. Do you want to eat something? Also, before you left, your father told you to take this pill as soon as you wake up." Yunrou finished speaking and took it.
He took out a simple small wooden box and opened it. Inside was a dark green pill, about the size of a thumb.
Chen Su looked straight at the round pill, "Is this the Two-leaf Tianxiang Pill? This has always been my father's treasure. How could he take it so easily..." Chen Su looked at it in confusion.
Yunrou, "Aunt Rou, tell me, what happened?"
Yunrou smiled and tried her best to act relaxed and relaxed, "Don't worry, silly kid, nothing will happen. Just take the medicine obediently, and then Aunt Rou will prepare some food for you and Min'er. These three days
You are unconscious and Min'er refuses to take a good rest, so look at her."
Chen Su looked at Min'er. Min'er was a child after all. Chen Su woke up. As soon as she put down the things on her mind, she was immediately tired and fell asleep beside Chen Su's bed.
"Aunt Rou, you must be exhausted these past few days. I listen to you and I will take the medicine right now. I am fine now. Just take Min'er back to rest. She can't rest well here.
." After Chen Su finished speaking, he took the medicine from Yunrou's hand, threw it into his mouth, and swallowed it with a gurgle.
"Oh," Yunrou laughed angrily, "Slow down, be careful not to choke."
Chen Su giggled, and as he took the two-leaf Tianxiang Pills into his mouth, a warm current went straight from his throat down to his Dantian, and then spread all over his limbs. Chen Su had heard his father say before that Tianxiang Pills had an excellent effect of warming and nourishing the meridians.
The pills are top-grade, and two leaves are quite rare. Chen Yuanhua was particularly fond of Tianxiang pills, so he kept them as a treasure, and now they have finally become the favorite of his son.
Time flew by, and another three days passed by in the blink of an eye. Chen Su's body had recovered, but he saw neither his father nor his third uncle. At first, she kept pestering Yunrou and asked questions, but Yunrou remained tight-lipped. Refusing to reveal anything, she asked Min'er. The little girl just said that her uncle and third uncle had gone out, and she didn't know anything else. Chen Su thought about it, but couldn't make sense. She also remembered that she had met a Shen family member at the market a few days ago. There was a dispute with the young master, and I vaguely felt that it might be related to this matter. I asked Yunrou again, but still couldn't get any results, which made me a little upset. At this age, Chen Su was an active time, and she used to give her father a hand. Or joking and chatting with my third uncle. What I am most proud of is playing chess with my third uncle. It can be said that I can win every battle. Now that both of them are not around, it is really difficult to pass the time.
After finally staying up until the early morning of the fourth day, Chen Su woke up and made up his mind to find out what happened to Aunt Rou. It was not like his father had never left before. Sometimes he left for ten and a half months. The longest time he left was three months. It was more than a month ago to find the second uncle, but whenever his father left, he would clearly explain his whereabouts and approximate time, so they didn't have to worry too much. But this time, the smell of the stuffed gourd was really overwhelming. Endure it. As soon as the sky in the east turned white, Chen Su got up and waited at Yunrou's door.
There are more than a hundred households living in this street. Thirteen years ago, the four brothers Chen Yuanhua settled here and bought the courtyard where they live now. Later, the fourth brother Luo Xiao married his wife Yunrou, and their relationship was harmonious, so Chen Yuanhua took care of everything. To buy a home for his brothers, Luo Xiao refused to stay too far away from his brothers. After some discussion, the four brothers bought the courtyards on both sides of the house. On the left, the fourth brother lived with his family, and on the right, the second brother Ding Yu and the third brother lived. Chu Huailiang. True brotherhood is a beautiful thing. Unexpectedly, the fourth brother Luo Xiao died five years ago, and the second brother Ding Yu disappeared a few months later. Min'er was not yet one year old at that time, and Yunrou was a child when she was young. Abandoned by her parents, her daughter was still young, and she missed Luo Xiao and refused to remarry, so Chen Yuanhua was responsible for bearing all the expenses. After a while, rumors spread like wildfire. Chen Yuanhua was an upright man and didn't care, but Yunrou Unable to stand the eyes of the world, he gradually began to deliberately avoid Chen Yuanhua and Chu Huailiang, and refused to accept their financial support. From then on, he lived a very miserable life with his daughter. Chen Yuanhua was a kind and righteous person, how could the widow of his fourth brother not do so? Taking care of it? Later, he thought of a way to harvest all the medicinal materials by himself, including some of his previous regular customers. After a few days of stress, he went to find Yunrou. He just excused that he was too busy and asked her to do it for him. Sold. The eldest brother asked, and although she was a little embarrassed, Yunrou had to agree. She was unavoidably trembling at first, but she was relieved when the first order of goods was sold out. When she went to find Chen Yuanhua to deliver the goods, Chen Yuanhua didn't even look at it, and directly allocated half of the money as reward. , Yunrou refused, and Chen Yuanhua was immediately displeased. How can the love between brothers be measured by money? A hundred years later, you should have a face to see your brothers underground. Yunrou still refused, and Chen Yuanhua had no choice but to use all kinds of excuses. , Yunrou agreed to sell goods on behalf of Chen Yuanhua and take a 10% commission, so that mother and daughter could make a living. Later, Chu Huailiang learned that she would also learn from her elder brother. After three or four years, Yunrou relied on her modest personality but good calculations. Doing business is easy.
When she woke up early in the morning, Yunrou opened the door and was about to go out. When she looked up, she saw Chen Su standing in front of her with a sad face, "What's the matter, Su'er?"
"Aunt Rou, if you still don't tell me where my father and third uncle have gone today, I won't leave." Chen Su shook his head, as if he would not give up until he achieved his goal.
Yunrou smiled and said, "Silly boy, if you say something silly, Aunt Rou is about to call you for breakfast. Come in and after breakfast, Aunt Rou will tell you."
Chen Su snorted, knowing it was a delaying tactic, but then he stepped into the doorway with a smile, "Aunt Rou's breakfast is always the most delicious."
"Then eat more." Yunrou smiled all the way and led Chen Su into the door.
As soon as they entered the dining hall, they saw Min'er holding a small wooden bowl and wearing a big apron, sitting on a wooden stool waiting for the meal to be served.
"Brother Chen Su!" As soon as she saw Chen Su come in, Min'er jumped down from the wooden stool and held up the small wooden bowl in her hand and handed it to Chen Su.
Chen Su did not take Min'er's small bowl, but gently touched Min'er's head, "This is too small, it's for you. Brother Chen Su wants to use a larger bowl."
Min'er blinked her big eyes and looked at Yunrou, "Mom, Min'er also needs to use a big bowl."
Yunrou smiled and shook her head, "Big bowls don't look good. Those kind of bad-looking bowls should be used by unattractive people. Min'er is so beautiful, so of course she should use a small, good-looking bowl."
After hearing this, Min'er looked very happy. She wanted to laugh but couldn't hold it back, but she couldn't help it. Chen Su was so amused that she brought a big bowl to her, but Min'er refused to change it no matter what.
After breakfast, Yunrou just vaguely said that someone asked Chen Yuanhua to find some special medicinal materials. The matter was in a hurry, so she did not wait for Chen Su to wake up. Chen Su asked who asked for the invitation, and Yunrou only said that she was the one who invited her.
I don't know how to comfort him. Yunrou didn't say anything, and Chen Su was helpless in the end.
Just when I was bored, a neighbor hurriedly ran in, "Sister-in-law Luo, sister-in-law Luo!" Before anyone could enter the house, the hurried shouting had already spread to every corner.
Yun Rou had just comforted Chen Su and coaxed Min'er to play. However, after these seven or eight days, she still felt uneasy and startled. Now when she heard someone shouting like this outside, her heart immediately rose to her throat.
, an ominous premonition tightened every nerve in his body, and he couldn't help but shudder, got up and walked out of the house. Chen Su also felt that something had happened, so he took Min'er and followed Yunrou to the courtyard.
At this time, a thirty-year-old man in the courtyard was hunched over, holding his knees with both hands, and was breathing heavily. When he saw Yunrou and Chen Su coming out, he immediately said out of breath, "It turns out that Chen Su
Su is here too, Sister-in-law Luo, go and have a look, Boss Chen is back and has arrived at the entrance of the northern town."
When Chen Su heard this, she jumped up with joy. Her father finally came back and she ran out the door.
Yunrou had a worried look on her face, "Where is Brother Chu?"
The man shook his head, "I haven't seen him, but looking at Boss Chen, he seems to be seriously injured."
Chen Su had just run to the door. The last words were like a thunderbolt to him, and his interest was wiped out. His father and his third uncle went out together. Now only his father came back seriously injured. Didn't Aunt Rou say that they were just victims?
I was asked to find some medicinal materials? How could this happen? I couldn’t care about that much at the moment, I just ran like crazy along the street to the north entrance of the town.
When Chen Su arrived, a circle of people had gathered at the entrance of the town. After squeezing through the crowd, he saw his father, Chen Yuanhua, sitting against a wall with his head hanging down. The blood on his face had long dried and his clothes were torn.
There were wounds of varying depths visible on the chest and arms, and a long gash on the right leg was somewhat black, which was horrifying to see.
Chen Su roared, ran to his father, and knelt down with a thump, "Dad, what's wrong with you?"
Hearing the extremely familiar voice, Chen Yuanhua slowly raised his head and opened his scarlet eyes with difficulty. He didn't know what it felt like to see his son again. He wanted to show a smile and then gently tell him that it was okay, but a drop of dirty tears had already appeared.
The eyes fell uncontrollably. I thought there was no hope of seeing my loved ones again, but now he is right in front of me.
"Dad, let's go home." Chen Su said, and then looked at the crowd around him, "Uncles and brothers, please lend a hand and help me. I want to carry my father back."
There were whispers among the crowd, but no one was willing to step forward. As Chen Su glanced at him for help, many people involuntarily took a few steps back.
No one came forward to help, so Chen Su sighed helplessly, "Dad, I'll carry you back." After saying that, he helped Chen Yuanhua and carried him on his back.
"Little brother, your father's injury is too serious. It's best to find someone to carry him for treatment quickly. If you carry him like this, I'm afraid his life will be gone."
After hearing this, Chen Su lost his mind for a moment. Seeing his father's painful appearance, he couldn't help but scratch his heart with hundreds of claws and his heart was broken.
Fortunately, a moment later, Yunrou arrived with five or six neighbors, carefully lifted Chen Yuanhua onto the wooden board, and then turned back to Chen's house in a hurry. Chen Su followed behind silently. The whole thing seemed like it happened in a dream.
Same here.
Several neighbors worked together to lift Chen Yuanhua to the bed. Yunrou had already sent someone to ask Qin Zhong to treat Chen Yuanhua's injuries. Qin Zhong was already in his seventies and was considered a relatively good doctor here. He often had business dealings with Chen Yuanhua in medicinal materials.
Very familiar.
Yunrou and Chen Su waited anxiously for the doctor, looking outside from time to time, but no one came.
"Su'er" Chen Yuanhua called his son with a slightly trembling voice.
"Dad" Chen Su agreed and quickly ran over and knelt down in front of Chen Yuanhua's bed.
Chen Yuanhua struggled and reached into his arms, "Fortunately, it's still there." Then he took out a purple lotus pod and said, "Ask someone to send this to Shen's Mansion."
"This?" Chen Su was confused. Why was he sent to the Shen Mansion? The third uncle was missing and his father was seriously injured. Could it be that he wanted to get this thing to the Shen Mansion?
Yunrou stepped forward and took the lotus pod. It was a lotus pod glowing with a strange purple brilliance, with seven black lotus seeds embedded in it. Looking at the lotus pod, Yunrou had tears in her eyes, "Brother, don't worry, I'll give it to you later."
Then I’ll send it over in person.”
"Dad, Aunt Rou, what is going on? Where is the third uncle?"
Mentioning Chu Huailiang, Chen Yuanhua couldn't help but feel sad, "Third brother!"
"Brother, stop talking." Yunrou couldn't bear to see Chen Yuanhua's sad look anymore. From the moment he came back, she already felt that something was wrong before she saw Chu Huailiang.
Chen Yuanhua coughed slightly and there was blood on the corner of his mouth, "My third brother sacrificed his life to save me and fought against the fire bear, but he is no longer here..." When he got to the point of sadness, he fainted again.
Not long after, Qin Zhong arrived in a hurry and took a rough look at Chen Yuanhua's injuries.
"Doctor Qin, do you think my elder brother is injured?" Yunrou asked anxiously.
"Boss Chen is physically strong, so these injuries are not a problem." Qin Zhong said while stroking his short beard.
Yunrou calmed down a little after hearing that it was no problem.
"It's just..." Then Qin Zhong let out a low hiss and smacked his lips several times, "I don't know what kind of opponent Mr. Chen is fighting. It's so dangerous. All the meridians in his body have been broken. I'm afraid there is no way to save him."
"Ah?" Yunrou covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Doctor Qin, please save my brother no matter what."
"It's natural. Boss Chen has taken care of this village for many years, and Qin Zhong is very grateful. Whenever there is a glimmer of hope, Qin Zhong will do his best, but..." Qin Zhong said, shaking his head, "I can only
If I can help Mr. Chen survive for a few days, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do to save his life."
"Doctor Qin, Yunrou is begging you on behalf of my eldest brother." Yunrou had already shed tears and bowed before him. Qin Zhongruo said that there was nothing he could do, how could she not feel like a knife was twisting his heart.
Qin Zhong thought for a long time, "If there is hope, maybe there is a little bit, but it is just too difficult."
Yunrou looked at Qin Zhong blankly, "Doctor Qin please make it clear that it doesn't matter even if you lose everything, please save my elder brother no matter what."
"The Heavenly Pavilion of Life and Death." Qin Zhong didn't seem to hear Yunrou's words, and said these four words expressionlessly.
"The Heavenly Pavilion of Life and Death, what does Doctor Qin mean?" Yunrou was confused when she heard this name for the first time.
Qin Zhong seemed to be lost in thought again. After a while, he continued, "Maybe only the Heavenly Pavilion of Life and Death can save Mr. Chen's life. I don't know much about its details. Maybe it has something to do with the royal family. But what I know is that its
Several of the owners are skilled in the art of alchemy, and it is said that there is a Baiye peach in the pavilion, whose fruit has the effect of bringing the dead back to life."
Chen Su had been listening quietly. It was not until Qin Zhong mentioned that the Heavenly Pavilion of Life and Death could save his father that he asked: "Doctor Qin, please tell me where the Heavenly Pavilion of Life and Death is?"
Qin Zhong looked sad, "Although there is magic medicine in the Heavenly Pavilion of Life and Death, it is not willing to save people easily. The third master of Shen Mansion was seriously injured the year before last. He went to ask for medicine twice, but was rejected. Later, he was still favored by Beizhu State Mansion.
, I reluctantly asked for a magic pill."
"Even if it is difficult to reach heaven, I will give it a try. Please tell me, Doctor Qin, where is the Heavenly Pavilion of Life and Death?" Chen Su was determined to save his father. Since Qin Zhong had told him where his hope was, how could he?
Retreat in fear of difficulty.
In the inner hall of Shen Mansion, Shen Yu held a purple lotus pod in his hand, which was exactly the one that Chen Yuanhua gave to Yunrou.
"Second brother, I didn't expect that Chen Yuanhua actually touched the Huntian Fire Bear and got it back."
Opposite Shen Yu, a tall old man stood with his hands behind his back. He also had white hair, showing his vicissitudes of life. He was none other than the second master of the Shen family, Shen Cang.
"Humph" Shen Cang snorted coldly.
Shen Yu continued: "However, the news came back that Chen Yuanhua was seriously injured and difficult to treat, and Chu Huailiang who went with him died in the hands of a fire bear."
"A good death. The two of them have ruined many good things for our Shen family in the past few years."
"Second brother, what is this thing?" Shen Yu said, passing the lotus pod in his hand forward.
Shen Cang stretched out his hand to take it and weighed it gently. "Although this thing is good, it is a hot potato and cannot be kept."
"What does second brother mean?"
"This matter must not be leaked."
"But……"
"It's nothing but. The seven-hole purple lotus that Hun Tian Huo Xiong has guarded for so many years has been guarded by the great man. If he knew that it fell into our hands, wouldn't he turn this place upside down?"
"How about we send it to Beizhu Palace?" Shen Yu tentatively suggested.
"It's not good. For several years, Beizhu Kingdom refused to take this thing out of sympathy. Now if we send it, I'm afraid it won't be good. It's all because of your own cleverness that you have caused such trouble."
"It's all my fault, but I didn't expect that Chen Yuanhua would actually have such courage."
"The most important thing right now is not to let the news leak out. Let me discuss it with my eldest brother and see what we should do."
"Second brother, you have to hurry up. I'm afraid that person already knows that the seven-hole purple lotus is missing and will be looking for it soon."
"At the worst, you'll have to bear the blame and send him back in person." Shen Cang glanced at Shen Yu with a half-smile, flicked his robe sleeves, and walked out without looking back.
"Second brother, if that's the case, I'm afraid that the seventh brother will no longer be able to serve the second brother in the future." Shen Yu looked at Shen Cang's leaving figure and couldn't help but cursed secretly in his heart, relying on the elder brother to value you, hum, if one day I Now that Shen Yu is in power, let’s see if you can still be so arrogant?
