Chapter 004 Mother's Condition
Obviously, this is a very bad sign. If it cannot be stopped from shrinking like this, the mother will eventually let go. Her pulse is already very weak and she must feel it carefully before she can feel it vaguely. Who knows whether her heartbeat will suddenly stop?
However, the key to the problem is that Zhang Ling didn't know why his mother was like this. Whether she was poisoned or sick, the doctors could never identify it. Even the most basic reason was not clear, so it was naturally even more impossible to prescribe the right medicine. He could not do it at all!
The only thing Zhang Ling can do is to strengthen his beliefs. He repeatedly warned himself that as long as his mother can breathe and has not cut off his vitality, he will never give up. He firmly believes that one day he will become a powerful person. He will definitely study medical skills and alchemy hard. He will definitely find his father and cure his mother.
Even if his mother is really like the legendary one who has taken away three souls and seven spirits, he still has to search all the ends of the world, find all the lost three souls and seven spirits and condense them again. Since the three souls and seven spirits can be pulled away, they will naturally be able to be recombined. There is no doubt about this.
After all my mother's limbs were massaged carefully, it was already afternoon.
Qingqing brought the food and said softly: "Brother, it's time for lunch."
The belated lunch is very simple, with only some beans boiled in water, without oil and salt. This is what Zhang Ling and Qingqing planted themselves in the yard behind the house, and there is no need to spend money. Qingqing will pay close attention to any place that can save money.
At this time, the intoxicating fragrance of wine came from a distance.
It was the fragrance from the rich banquet of the wedding, rich and mellow, and it never dissipated for a long time.
It seemed as if even the snakes, insects, rats and ants in the dark felt the fragrance of wine, and they seemed particularly quiet, as if they were intoxicated.
Xia Chenli’s wedding was definitely the most grand one for the Xia family in decades. The various dishes prepared at the wedding banquet were quite expensive. The servants had already said that there were some precious dishes. Now, these precious and delicious dishes should be placed on the table on the assembly line and waited for the guests to taste them. As for the wine, they were even sweet wines transported back from the distant Jiuquan City for a long distance.
Zhang Ling pretended not to smell anything, and Qingqing also pretended not to smell anything. The two of them silently lowered their heads to eat. As a result, a small bowl of boiled beans in water actually ate less than half. There was no way, and neither brother nor sister was in the mood to eat. After the meal, Qingqing cleaned up the dishes, and Zhang Ling continued to massage his mother's limbs.
Dr. Sun said that in addition to the fixed massage every day in the afternoon and evening, if possible, it is best to give Fu Yao more massages. Although this sounds more like doing his job, it is unknown whether it will be effective, but Zhang Ling has never been perfunctory.
He was quietly looking forward to a miracle that might really happen. Perhaps, one day, when he was silently massaging his mother's limbs, his mother would suddenly wake up and call him Xiao Ling gently as before...
...
In the afternoon, Zhang Ling continued to cut oil pine wood.
At this time, the entire Xia family was immersed in a joyful atmosphere.
Even in the most remote place of the Xia family, you can already feel the rich atmosphere of the wedding, and the fragrance of the wine continues to last for a long time.
Xia Chenli's wedding has been going on for most of the day, and the rich aroma of wine and vegetables is floating everywhere in the air. When passing by the Xia Mansion Hall, Zhang Ling heard people say that there were more than 500 tables in total, and at least three or four thousand guests were coming. Many of the identities of Jingui City and Yingri City have come. The eight major families in Heisha City have sent considerable gifts, and many high-level cultivators with importance have also appeared.
All the Xia family members also had a sumptuous meal, and each received a heavy reward of five silver coins. Five silver coins, which was five hundred copper coins, was a small fortune for many servants.
Only Zhang Ling, who works in the woodshed, is an exception.
Everyone regards his existence as transparent.
It seems that in the Xia family, in the past, present, and future, there has never been a person named Zhang Ling.
The only exception is that Deng Renjie, the firewood manager, is not here. Chen Zhihe, the other deputy manager who is responsible for recording the amount of oil pine wood, rarely does not deduct Zhang Ling's weight. The deputy manager made an exception to the oil pine wood cut back by Zhang Ling in the morning. Perhaps, today's great event infected him, and he also likes Zhang Ling. Usually, he wears a pair of pants with Deng Renjie and is very picky about Zhang Ling.
As usual, after putting down the oil pine wood, Zhang Ling returned to his small yard and continued to massage his mother's limbs. He hoped that the miracle would appear, and expected that his mother would wake up. Unfortunately, the miracle never happened. After nightfall, he had supper with Qingqing.
Dinner is still boiled with beans in water. This is leftovers for lunch. Qingqing is also very busy today and has no time to cook again, so she can only continue to eat leftovers. In fact, their brother and sister often eat leftovers. The beans in the backyard grow very well and can continue to eat for more than a month. I don’t know why, but in the past month, the growth rate of various melons and vegetables in the backyard is amazing, and they can’t finish them.
Zhang Ling once didn't know who said that in Wulin Town, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has become much richer in recent times. It is estimated that the treasure of heaven and earth has appeared. Many practitioners have been traveling everywhere to find it, hoping to obtain great fortune and great opportunities. Zhang Ling felt that the treasure of heaven and earth was too far away and had nothing to do with him, so he never cared about it.
"Splitting!"
"Splitting!"
When they were having supper, the sky was completely dimming. Flashes of firecrackers kept coming, exploding near the hall of the Xia family as if it was the New Year, and it was very lively. From a distance, even the sky was red. You can imagine how many firecrackers were set off.
The aroma of wine and vegetable in the air is more rich and mellow. Obviously, the dinner is richer than the lunch.
Amid the sound of firecrackers, there were bursts of cheers from guests. This should be the bride and groom coming out together to toast the guests with identities. I guess many guests would envy them. Indeed, the groom Xia Chenli and the bride Ye Xinwen are also perfect matches.
However, in Zhang Ling's eyes, this is definitely not a good thing. The marriage between Xia Chenli and the Ye family will make the people of the third bedroom even more prosperous. Now, in the Xia family, the people of the third bedroom are already very strong. With the addition of the Ye family, the people of the third bedroom will definitely become stronger and more domineering. I really don't know what the other four bedrooms think, but they just watch the people of the third bedroom become more lawless?
In addition, the Ye family felt that they had no good intentions to marry the Xia family. Over the years, the Ye family has been traveling everywhere and searching for profits everywhere, causing a lot of things, and has a bad reputation. Basically, the families they targeted have been hollowed out. The Xia family in Wulin Town is their next target. Unfortunately, no one in the Xia family raised any objections to this.
"Brother, are you going to find the Golden Pillar today?" Suddenly, Qingqing asked softly.
Zhang Ling's chopsticks were slightly blocked, as if they had been called to something, and then they returned to normal and said casually: "No! I didn't go to him. What should I go to him for?"
"But... you just went to find it." Qingqing said in a crying voice.
"I went to see him, just chat with him. I didn't borrow money from him." Zhang Ling was silent for a moment and said slowly.
Zhang Qingqing's eyes were filled with tears, and she said with some expectations and concerns: "But, why did I hear people say that you went to find the Golden Pillar and borrowed fifty silver coins... Brother, is this true?"
Zhang Ling shook his head and said firmly: "This is a rumor! Absolute rumor!"
Seeing his brother's firm expression, Zhang Qingqing believed it a little and said with relief: "That's good. Otherwise, after borrowing so much money, how can I pay it back in the future? What does the Golden Pillar do? Brother, you don't know. If we borrow fifty silver coins from him, we will have to pay at least five hundred coins in the future! He is a villain who eats people and does not spit bones. Brother, don't go to him!"
Zhang Ling held the job and said solemnly: "Brother knows! Brother will never borrow money from him!"
Zhang Qingqing burst into tears and smiled. What she was most worried about was that Zhang Ling quietly went to borrow money from the Golden Pillar. That Golden Pillar was a famous villain in Wulin Town. He never learned well and was always a vampire who gave loans to usury. If he borrowed his money, even if it was just a copper coin, he could calculate more than ten copper coins for you! But his cultivation level was still very high, and ordinary cultivators were not his opponents.
But how could she know that Zhang Ling did not borrow fifty silver coins from the Golden Column. He borrowed a total of 150! Every time Dr. Sun treated Fu Yao for medical treatment, it was free. However, the money for buying medicine was always required. Fu Yao had to take medicine every day, and over time, it was a large amount. With the current income of their brother and sister, it was impossible for them to pay so much medical expenses. There was no way, so they could only borrow.
His agreement with the Golden Pillar is very simple. If the debt cannot be paid back in the future, he will use his own eyes to compensate.
In the Beast Martial Continent, there have been many wealthy families with congenital blindness or acquired blindness, and the eye transplant business has always been very prosperous. When Golden Pillar received such a promise, he readily paid Zhang Ling 150 silver coins. As for whether Zhang Ling could repay it, Golden Pillar didn't care. Anyway, didn't he have two eyes? Just dig one of them casually.
