Their group was not moving very fast. Hua Biannian and Hua Qianshu did not say much along the way. Instead, it was the old man Elder Hua who talked more.
Although he didn't look at Ling'er directly, Ling'er still felt the gazes other than Di Shitian's.
I don't know why, but Ling'er always feels that this old man has bad intentions. In Ling'er's eyes, the seemingly kind smile on his face is like a wretched old man who is luring underage girls. Yes, it makes people feel creepy.
"I don't know yet, which family you two are from? In Yunhai City, there should be very few young people from major families that I haven't seen before. But you two look very unfamiliar. Could it be that you two are not from Yunhai City?" Elder Hua asked casually, and if you didn't listen carefully, you wouldn't be able to hear any hidden meaning.
It’s just a pity that the person listening to it was Ling’er.
Under the veil, her cherry-red lips curled up slightly, and she thought to herself: This old man wants to find out their background.
Haha, no matter what he wanted to do, he could only consider himself unlucky to meet Xia Ling'er. Besides, this time, she came for their Hua family!
"We come from a small family. How could an elder of a big family with such a noble status as Elder Hua have ever met us? We are of humble origin and are ashamed to speak of us." Ling'er spoke in a humble manner, and her actions and expressions were very well performed. Even a shrewd old fellow like Elder Hua believed her fabricated story without any doubt.
As for Emperor Shi Tian, he followed Ling Er with an expressionless face, not saying a word. As long as Ling Er was safe, even if the sky fell, Emperor Shi Tian's eyelashes would not tremble, let alone his eyes.
If you think about it from another angle, then this is also a kind of exclusiveness~
After hearing Ling'er's words, Elder Hua's smile deepened. He stretched out his hand, which looked like dry bark, and stroked his gray beard again and again. There was a dark light flashing in his small eyes, and no one knew what dirty things he was planning in his heart.
Ling'er particularly hated such looks, especially when the other party was an old man. Damn it, if it was a handsome guy, at least it would be pleasing to the eye.
Although the scenery of Sunset Forest seems gloomy, apart from this point, to be honest, the environment here is really good.
There are plants everywhere, and the air is pure and pollution-free, refreshing. Walking in such a place, if there are no troubles, is also a good enjoyment.
The trees in the Sunset Forest block out the sun, so you can't see the sun during the day. But the sunset is the only exception. For some reason, every time the sun sets, the golden light of the sunset shines through the dense branches and leaves, making the Sunset Forest look magnificent. This is also the origin of the name Sunset Forest.
Watching the golden sunset falling on the plants, the previous haze was swept away and I instantly felt warm in my heart.
This is why we chose to come to Sunset Forest in the afternoon, because we can see such beautiful scenery in the evening and it is easy to find the way out.
"It's sunset again." Looking at the beautiful sunset, Elder Hua said this with emotion.
"Yes, it's really beautiful. It's just a pity that the sunset is so beautiful, but it's almost dusk." Ling'er also agreed casually and couldn't help but recite a few lines of poetry.
"The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it is almost dusk. What a good poem, what a good poem!"
The clear voice sounded very childish. Looking in the direction of the voice, a pretty face appeared in Ling'er's eyes.
He had an oval face, delicate features, and a very pale complexion, almost without any blood color. Hua Qianshu, who had remained silent all along, finally spoke. Because he had been keeping his head down, Ling'er couldn't see his appearance clearly at this moment.
But just as the words fell, a burst of rapid coughing was heard, "Cough cough cough cough..."
Hua Qianshu immediately reached out and covered his mouth. Because of coughing, his cheeks, which were already pale to begin with, turned even more frighteningly pale.
"Qianshu! Qianshu! Are you okay?" Hua Biannian ran to Hua Qianshu with an anxious look on his face, put his big hand on Hua Qianshu's chest, and kept comforting him.
"You are not feeling well, you can't breathe cold air, and don't speak. How can't you remember? You are such a worrying child!"
"Dad, don't worry, I'm fine. Cough cough cough..." The cough that had originally eased became severe again after he said a few words.
"Okay, okay, father knows you're fine. Don't talk anymore. Don't talk anymore." Looking at Hua Qianshu who kept coughing, Hua Bingnian felt so distressed. His brows were frowning, and there was a thin layer of mist in his eyes.
Men don't shed tears easily, but they do until they are sad. It can be seen that Hua Qianshu's body is the saddest thing for Hua Bingnian.
When Elder Hua saw this scene, he not only did not feel nervous or worried at all, but he felt very annoyed.
Hearing Hua Qianshu's cough, Elder Hua glanced at the father and son impatiently, "Can you guys be quiet for a while? You can't even let me walk comfortably. Why am I so unlucky to have to deal with you two troublemakers? It's really annoying!"
Hearing Elder Hua's complaint, Hua Bingnian seemed very scared and immediately explained: "Sixth Elder, please don't be angry. Qianshu's health is very poor. Please be more tolerant. If I disturbed you, Bingnian is here to apologize. I hope you will not bear grudges and stop arguing with a child."
"Hmph, never mind. We're all going to die soon, so I'll just endure it." After saying that, he swung his sleeves vigorously and strode forward.
The moment Elder Hua turned around and finished speaking, a flash of despair and sorrow flashed across Hua Biannian's eyes, which was just caught by Ling'er.
It seems that the relationship between these people is not very harmonious.
As an elder, he actually didn't care about the life and death of his people. What did he mean by what he just said? "They are all dying anyway"? Did he say that because Hua Qianshu's illness was already incurable? Or did he mean something else? And did the "all" include her and Tiantian
Ling'er didn't think about it for too long, but slowly walked to Hua Qianshu.
"His meridians were injured by the cold, which damaged his spiritual roots. That's why he's been weak all year round and coughs all the time. He can't stand the slightest bit of cold, otherwise it will aggravate his physical pain and make him feel as if he's in dire straits, a life worse than death!" The person who hurt him was really vicious. He didn't want to kill him, but wanted him to suffer for one day as long as he lived.
I really don't know who is so vicious.
Ling'er's words really shocked Hua Biao Nian. He didn't expect that this little girl, at such a young age, had such profound medical skills. Without taking his son's pulse or examining him carefully, he only took a glance from a distance and knew his son's condition.
I thought this trip to Sunset Forest was a road to hell, but I didn't expect to encounter such a turn of events.
But, what's the use now...
They are destined not to survive this day.
It's such a pity that such a good girl passed away.
"The girl is right. This is Qianshu's condition. Over the years, I have tried every possible way, but I still haven't been able to cure Qianshu's condition. On the contrary, his condition has been getting worse day by day. I can only watch it and feel the pain in my heart, but I can't do anything for him." As he spoke, two lines of tears appeared on Hua Bingnian's weathered face.
Hua Qianshu became anxious again when he saw his father crying.
“Father, don’t worry… cough cough cough… My son is fine… I’m fine… cough cough cough…” Because Hua Qianshu said too many words in a short period of time, he coughed more violently this time and even coughed up blood.
"Qianshu! Qianshu! Qianshu! My poor child, are you okay, Qianshu..."
Ling'er didn't say much, took out a jade bottle from her body, and handed it to Hua Qianshu, "Here, eat this."
Hua Qianshu raised his eyes and met Ling'er's penetrating eyes. He didn't know why, but the moment he saw Ling'er's eyes, he knew that this girl was a good person. So he opened his mouth and ate it without hesitation.
"Qianshu! Qianshu, don't eat anything randomly!"
But the medicine had already been taken, and it was too late to say anything. At this point, he could only pray that this little girl was a good person and that the medicine she had just taken was not poison.
Just when Hua Biannian was worried, Hua Qianshu had stopped coughing and his breathing gradually became steady. What was even more miraculous was that his pale face actually had some color!
The change in Hua Qianshu shocked the tearful Hua Biannian for a moment. He even forgot what to do and just stared blankly at Hua Qianshu in front of him, not knowing what to say.
The pale color gradually turned into rosy, and a warm current spread out from the dantian, and that warm feeling slowly traveled to every corner of the body.
"So comfortable, so warm." After so many years, Hua Qianshu felt the warmth in his body for the first time. For the first time, he knew that the feeling of warmth was so comfortable and happy.
"Qianshu, you didn't cough, you didn't cough!" Hua Bingnian opened his eyes wide in surprise.
Shouted with joy.
For the first time, Hua Qianshu did not cough immediately after he spoke, and this was in such a cool environment as the Sunset Forest.
"Father, I... I really don't cough anymore!" Hua Qianshu also noticed it and was so excited that he couldn't speak.
Then, with a plop, Hua Bian Nian knelt down in front of Ling'er, "Thank you, thank you, thank you, miracle doctor. After all these years, this is the first time I've seen such a comfortable and happy expression on Qian Shu's face. Thank you."
"Hurry up and get up. It's just a small favor. It's probably inconvenient for you, so don't be so polite." Ling'er glanced at the direction where Elder Hua had just left. Even without saying it, Hua Bian Nian understood the deep meaning behind it. (To be continued)
