The world is so big, but there is no place for Mu Lin to stay.
So she went to the human world, where she first wandered.
Mu Lin has always been very perceptive, but he is not very good at this matter. The life experience accumulated on Fanghu Island has taught Mu Lin to live an ordinary life incognito, but there is still a difference between ordinary immortals and ordinary mortals.
Living in the way of ordinary people, she didn't know how to wash clothes, cook some home-cooked meals, or even tidy up the house...
It seemed that her earthly experience would not be too smooth, but Mu Lin did not hesitate to seal her own immortal power and beauty. This spell would be automatically lifted after five years, and then she would disguise herself as a man.
If you can't be a little cruel to yourself...
Mu Lin changed his name to Lin Feng, found a job as a waiter in an inn, changed into coarse linen clothes, slept in the woodshed in the backyard, and was ordered around by the innkeeper and guests every day.
Shopkeeper Sun could tell that this young man was no ordinary person. He could tell from his daily behavior that he was efficient, not arrogant or impatient, silent and calm, and would never make the same mistake twice.
Within a few months, Mu Lin became an indispensable worker in the inn. With his own efforts, he got a room in the backyard and his salary was increased by 100 yuan.
Shopkeeper Sun admires Mu Lin and wants to train him to be his successor. Thinking of his unmarried daughter, he gradually becomes interested.
Such a good guy, it would be nice to have him as a son-in-law...
In the past two days, Mu Lin always heard Manager Sun mention his daughter for no reason. He thought that he never expected Manager Sun to be such a kind father. He always praised and showed off his daughter in public, with pride in his eyes and eyebrows.
"Lin Feng" had not yet fully adapted to her new identity and was completely unaware of Shopkeeper Sun's intentions. When Shopkeeper Sun pulled her aside to chat, he would occasionally chime in and praise Miss Sun.
Shopkeeper Sun secretly twirled his beard and nodded, thinking that it was time to let his children meet each other.
"Xiao Lin, why don't you go to your uncle Sun's house this afternoon and have a few drinks?"
Whether it is the immortals or the humans, they all like to drink to get closer. Mu Lin has been in Fanghu for a long time, so he naturally does not reject this. He nodded in agreement without much hesitation. Shopkeeper Sun's smile deepened.
After Mu Lin finished his shift in the afternoon, he went to the nearby tavern and bought two taels of the best Bamboo Leaf Green Tea. The price was not low, but it was not something too expensive. In short, it showed his sincerity by bringing it to Manager Sun's house as a guest.
Shopkeeper Sun runs an inn and has some wealth, but among the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, merchants have always been at the bottom. The house that Shopkeeper Sun can buy is in the south city, which is not very close to the inn.
Mu Lin calculated the time and walked slowly towards the direction of Sun's house with the wine in hand. When she arrived, it was not too late. Sun and his wife looked very happy. Mrs. Sun was a straightforward person and kept asking her questions.
"Come if you want to, why bring any wine?"
"Uncle Sun usually takes good care of me. This is just a small gift. I hope Aunt Sun won't despise it."
"You kid... Xiaolin, where are you from?"
"I fled here from Qinghe County, Hebei Province."
"Is that so... Is there anyone else at home?"
Mu Lin's expression was somewhat gloomy, "Except for me, everyone else died in the famine..."
Mrs. Sun heard these words from Shopkeeper Sun, and couldn't help asking again. Mrs. Sun thought secretly, although the orphan without a father and a mother looked ordinary, thin and short, the young man was down-to-earth and motivated, his conversation was not vulgar, and he seemed to be a responsible person...
In a blink of an eye, Madam Sun smiled and said, "You two uncles, why don't you sit down and have a meal? I'll go and serve the dishes."
Seeing this, Mu Lin wanted to help, but was pushed back to his seat by Madam Sun.
Madam Sun glanced behind the screen and then went to the brothel to serve the dishes.
Mu Lin glanced at the screen calmly, unable to tell if there was anyone behind it. But with her hearing, she could hear clearly the movements of pedestrians on the road outside, not to mention the subtle movements of the woman behind the screen.
The movements were very slight, probably from a more gentle woman, and the breathing sounded a little weak. This must be Miss Sun, right
But why did she hide behind the screen? Oh, it seemed that women could not be seen by men outside. Female fairies are also women. Mu Lin instinctively disliked these etiquettes.
Mu Lin listened to the shopkeeper Sun talking while distracting herself from the surroundings. Shopkeeper Sun was a very talkative person, and soon he changed his name for her from "Xiao Lin" to "Xiao Feng". Mu Lin would occasionally respond to him and briefly mention her own ideas. Her ideas were insightful, novel, and not without substance.
Shopkeeper Sun looked at him with eyes that were getting brighter and brighter, and felt that being a clerk was a complete injustice for him. After hearing that Mu Lin could read and write, he excitedly grabbed Mu Lin's hand and almost immediately appointed Mu Lin as the second shopkeeper.
Mu Lin's brows suddenly frowned, he broke away from Manager Sun's hand, stood up and walked towards the screen.
Madam Sun, who was carrying the dishes in, was horrified. "Xiao Lin, what are you doing? Don't go over there! Lin Feng, why are you pulling the screen? Stop it!"
Shopkeeper Sun also stood up and went over to stop Mu Lin.
Mu Lin turned a deaf ear and started to pull open the screen. Behind the screen was Miss Sun, who was lying on the ground, breathing heavily.
"My son! What's wrong with you? Are you sick? Old man, go find some medicine!"
Shopkeeper Sun left in a hurry.
Mu Lin helped Miss Sun up, and Madam Sun quickly stepped forward to help. The two slowly helped Miss Sun to sit on the chair. Mu Lin carefully identified her complexion, then stretched out his hand to feel her pulse, and asked Miss Sun to stick out her tongue to show her the tongue.
Sudden severe pain, chest tightness and shortness of breath, pale complexion, slow pulse, pale tongue with white coating, fatigue, chills and cold limbs...
"Madam Sun, please move the brazier over here. Do you have a hand warmer? Or a hot water bottle?"
"Yes, yes, these are always available at home!"
Mrs. Sun hurried to the bedroom to look for it. At this time, Manager Sun came back with a medicine bottle, poured out a few heart pills, and gave them to Miss Sun to take with warm water.
Miss Sun's frown slowly relaxed. At this time, Mrs. Sun came back with a hand warmer and put it in Miss Sun's hand.
"You two, please send Miss Sun to bed and give her an extra blanket."
"good."
When it warmed up, Miss Sun's pale complexion looked much better, and Shopkeeper Sun and his wife also breathed a sigh of relief.
Mu Lin explained to them outside the room, "Miss Sun has always had chest pain. This time it should be because of the temperature drop. The stagnation of Yin and cold caused the heart meridian to be blocked. You should pay attention to regulating your spirit, avoid emotional excitement, pay attention to your daily life, keep warm, and be sure to stay in bed and rest during the attack."
Shopkeeper Sun and his wife nodded in agreement.
"Do you have a pen and paper? I'll write a prescription for Miss Sun. You two can take it to the doctor. If it's ok, you can give it to Miss Sun to try..."
"Yes, yes. Come with me to the study."
Mu Lin picked up the pen and started writing. She had already started thinking when she finished taking Miss Sun's pulse. The prescription she wrote was Zhishi Xiebai Guizhi Decoction combined with Danggui Sini Decoction with modifications, which was used to dispel cold with its pungent and warm properties and promote the flow of heart yang.
Shopkeeper Sun took the prescription, glanced at it roughly, and exclaimed: "Great handwriting!"
Madam Sun rolled her eyes at the old man and said to Mu Lin with a smile: "Xiao Feng, I didn't realize you knew medicine. This time, it's all thanks to you..."
If Mu Lin hadn't discovered her daughter's illness first, it would have been too late by the time the couple found out. What's more, someone had taken her pulse and prescribed medicine.
Mu Lin thought of the importance that mortals attached to the separation between men and women, and said seriously: "We have to make decisions in an emergency. I hope Madam Sun will not blame Lin Feng for being abrupt."
"Don't blame me, don't blame me. You are a kind person. My husband and I are very grateful to you..."
After such a busy day, it was completely dark, and Miss Sun had not yet recovered, so she naturally couldn't eat. So Mu Lin said goodbye and left neatly.
Madam Sun poked Shopkeeper Sun with her arm and said, "Old man, what do you think of this boy?"
"I think it's okay. Xiaofeng is a really good person..."
"When he first came, I thought he was too skinny and not suitable for earning money to support the family, let alone taking care of our daughter. But now I think he is calm and steady!"
"Yes, you've been busy with us for so long and haven't had a single bite to eat, but you're leaving without saying anything. Aren't you afraid of causing us more trouble?"
"Take this prescription to Doctor Liu tomorrow and ask him to see if it can be used..."
"It's natural..."
The couple looked at each other and Lin Feng had already gained their initial recognition.
After the couple finished discussing, Mrs. Sun returned to her daughter's boudoir and asked, "Daughter, how do you feel?"
Miss Sun had recovered and smiled gently at her mother: "My daughter is fine now. I am sorry for making you worry."
Madam Sun patted her hands, "As long as you are safe, your father and I will be relieved. By the way, you can watch quietly behind the screen. What do you think of Lin Feng?"
"Mother!" Miss Sun said coquettishly, a little shyly.
She hid behind the screen just to see what the man her father praised so highly looked like. At first she was very disappointed. The man was not as tall and handsome as she had imagined. He was not even much taller than her, and he looked ordinary from the side.
She originally had no feelings for the man until she suddenly felt an unbearable pain in her heart. He strode over and pulled open the screen, and with his warm hands he gently but firmly pulled her up...
In the agony, Miss Sun seemed to hear the sound of her heartbeat, thump, thump. Then she met a pair of calm eyes. Her panicked heart suddenly calmed down, and she vaguely smelled the clean and refreshing scent of soapberry.
When she recalled the scene at that time, two blushes appeared on Miss Sun's face.
No one knows a daughter better than her mother. Mrs. Sun smiled with satisfaction.
The next day, Shopkeeper Sun greeted Mu Lin enthusiastically, "I asked Doctor Liu to look at the prescription you wrote, and he praised it highly. Thank you so much!"
Mu Lin was not surprised to hear this. He politely asked about Miss Sun's condition, told her that she could come to him if she had any questions, and then went to work.
Shopkeeper Sun nodded secretly again, good, neither humble nor arrogant.
