Lin Chen and Gu Caizhi judged from Lei'er's clothes that her family was very poor, but when they actually saw Lei'er's house with air leakage from all sides, they discovered that Lei'er's family was even poorer than they expected.
Poverty is not the biggest problem. The biggest problem is that this is a family plagued by illness and pain.
Lei'er's mother was as skinny as a stick, lying on the bed, obviously seriously ill.
Lei'er's father was lame. He would start coughing after walking a few steps. Not only was he lame, but his health was also extremely poor.
Seeing them like this, Lin Chen and Gu Caizhi probably understood why Lei'er ran into the forest to collect medicine by herself.
Although these parents were in extremely poor conditions, they still loved their daughter deeply. They were anxious, angry and distressed when they learned that Leier went to the forest alone to collect medicine and almost died at the mouth of a monster.
"Dad, mother, Lei'er is fine.
Lei'er is really fine and her wound doesn't hurt at all.
Woohoo...Mom, please stop crying, it's all Lei'er's fault."
Lei'er saw her mother sobbing softly on the bed, and she started crying too, ran to the bed and held her mother's hand.
Lei'er's father walked up to Lin Chen and Gu Caizhi, bent his knees, and knelt down for them.
"useless!"
Gu Caizhi was startled, and soon she discovered that there was an invisible barrier in front of Leier's father, and he could not kneel down at all.
"Sir, thank you, thank you so much, thank you so much.
If it weren't for you, Lei'er...she..." This tall, thin, middle-aged man with a resolute face, with red eyes filled with tears, looked at Lin Chen and said respectfully, "Look at what our family is like.
Even if I want to repay you, I can't give you anything.
Just let me kneel down and kowtow a few times for you!"
"I did it casually and don't need any reward."
Lin Chen did not continue the topic. He looked at Lei'er's father's leg and asked, "How long have you been lame on your leg? Why is it so lame?"
Lei'er's father wiped the corners of his eyes with his shabby sleeves and said respectfully: "I have been lame for six years, and happened to be lame not long after Lei'er was born.
I made a living by collecting herbs in the forest. I was unlucky that day. I encountered a jasper poisonous snake and was bitten on the calf by the beast.
He was lucky enough to survive, but he became a cripple, and his physical condition deteriorated day by day."
He looked at his wife lying on the bed and wiped his tears, "When I got home, I passed out.
The child's mother sucked the poisonous blood out of my calf, and I saved my life, but it dragged her down.
She had just given birth not long ago, and her body was already extremely weak and was infected by toxins. This body was completely destroyed."
As he talked, his tears couldn't stop flowing, and he wiped them away more and more.
Lei'er ran to him, hugged his legs, and cried: "Ugh... Daddy, don't cry, Lei'er will grow up soon, and Lei'er will take care of you when the time comes.
Lei'er will make parents happy."
Lei'er's father rubbed Lei'er's head, looked at Lin Chen and Gu Caizhi, and said embarrassedly: "I made these two adults laugh."
Gu Caizhi's eyes fell on Lei'er, and from time to time he looked at the woman on the bed, her eyes becoming very sad for some unknown reason.
Lin Chen walked to the bed and said, "Lei'er, pour a bowl of water over here."
"Okay, big brother.
You wait a moment, Lei'er will go boil the water right away."
Lei'er said obediently.
Lin Chen said: "A bowl of cold water will do."
Leier nodded and quickly brought a bowl of cold water.
When Lei'er's father saw this, his brows twitched. Could this man be asking his wife to drink cold water? You know, the cold water was actually picked from the river and was not particularly clean, not to mention his wife's.
Due to my physical condition, I cannot drink cold water.
He was anxious, but out of gratitude and awe for Lin Chen, he did not speak immediately.
Immediately he saw that Lin Chen glanced at the water in the bowl, and the water in the bowl flew out automatically, turned into a water ball, and fell into Lin Chen's hand.
Black flames appeared on Lin Chen's hands, and the water ball boiled instantly.
The black flame disappeared, and the water ball turned into mist, swimming around Lin Chen, and soon merged into the bowl in Lei'er's hand.
Lei'er's eyes widened, as if she had seen a miracle, and she said: "The warm water has turned into warm water..." Lei'er's father's mouth was so wide that he could stuff several eggs into it at the same time, which made people worry that his chin might accidentally move.
It will dislocate.
A green pill appeared in Lin Chen's hand, and he put the pill into the bowl.
The elixir melts and the water in the bowl turns blue.
"Feed your mother and drink it."
Lin Chen touched Lei'er's head.
Lei'er thought about how her injury quickly improved after taking her elder brother's elixir. She said to her mother excitedly: "Mom, my elder brother's elixir is so powerful. He gave me one before."
Oh, my injury will be healed immediately."
After Lei'er's mother drank the cyan liquid in the bowl, Lei'er's father couldn't help but run to the bed and looked at his wife on the bed with anticipation and excitement.
From Lin Chen's methods just now, he has already judged that this gentleman is a legendary monk with magical methods. Maybe he can really cure his wife?
Like a dead tree rejuvenating, within a short while, Lei'er's mother's complexion became rosy.
She said in disbelief: "I...my health...seems to be better?"
"What does it mean to be like, and whether it's good or not, you should make it clear!"
Leier's father was surprised and happy.
Lei'er's mother sat up from the bed and was extremely excited: "Okay! It's really good. My body is stronger, and... and I'm so hungry."
Hungry?
Being hungry basically means that your body has recovered and you can eat normally! Looking at the excited family of three, who were almost dancing, Lin Chen smiled and took out another pill and handed it to Leier's father: "You can just take the pill."
Just put it down."
"Thank you! Thank you, sir!"
Lei'er's father took the elixir, and not long after, the injury that almost ruined his life disappeared. He walked around the room quickly like a madman, ecstatically saying: "I'm not lame anymore! I'm not lame anymore."
Got it!"
After the surprise, the couple hugged each other and cried, as if they had had a terrible nightmare.
‘He gave such a precious elixir to two strangers without even thinking about it?
Given the couple's situation, it was impossible to give him anything in return.
’ Gu Caizhi’s eyes fell on Lin Chen with a slight smile on his face, and he whispered in his heart: Gu Caizhi, Gu Caizhi, not only are you inferior to others in terms of strength, but you can’t even compare with his moral character.
He can do this for someone he has never met, but you don't even intend to repay the favor of saving your life because you don't want to recall your miserable life experience?
"Come out for a moment, I have something to tell you."
Gu Caiwei's eyes became firm and she said to Lin Chen.
