(PS: Because of the heavy censorship, some settings have been modified, such as demoting the cabinet ministers. The cabinet ministers that everyone saw before have now become deputy ministers, and only the senior cabinet minister is a full minister... Alas, there is nothing I can do, I hope you can understand.)
Jin Ruyu: “…”
Zhou Na: “…”
What the hell is the name of the seventh uncle of my aunt’s child’s second uncle’s cousin!
Such a distant relationship, who knows what it is called? !
After hesitating for a moment, Jin Ruyu seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Have you thought about it?" Lin Fan asked curiously.
"How about..." Jin Ruyu hesitated and said, "I should just call you Uncle Qi?"
Zhou Na: "... Sister Jin, you should just call me Grandpa. Don't let this guy fool you."
"Don't underestimate him because he is a cultivator. In fact...tsk tsk tsk."
When Jin Ruyu heard this, she realized that this was the truth, so she said, "Hello, old man. Hello, old man."
Lin Fan glared at Zhou Na and said, "Nonsense."
"I'm just curious. Besides, aren't you curious about this question?"
"What is the name of the seventh uncle of my aunt's child's second uncle's cousin? ~"
"I'm curious, but I don't know, okay." Zhou Na said, "I won't play this kind of game with you two."
Because with my IQ, I just can’t understand it!
…
The first time we met was in the old man's office.
Although he is very old, he is in good spirits and even a little naughty.
Coincidentally, when they met, someone was examining the old man.
"Grandpa, you are in good health, but can you please listen to my advice and stop smoking? Smoking is really bad for your health..."
The doctor advised earnestly.
"I won't smoke anymore, I definitely won't smoke anymore!"
The old man nodded repeatedly and agreed quickly.
The doctor was at a loss for words, and only wanted to say one thing in his heart... I don't believe you, you old man are so bad, you always say this, but as soon as I turn around, I start to convulse!
After seeing Jin Ruyu, the Demonic Rice Patriarch smiled and said, "Please wait a moment."
"We are in no hurry."
Jin Ruyu nodded in agreement.
…
After more than ten minutes, the doctor finally left after giving many instructions.
"You're looking for me?"
"Grandpa, my name is Jin Ruyu, um..." Jin Ruyu stood up and introduced herself. After all, who would dare not respect this old man
Because I really eat his rice!
But when the words came to her lips, she didn't know how to introduce herself.
What else can you say besides introducing yourself by your name
Am I your distant relative
This is too far!
"Let me tell you."
Lin Fan smiled and said, "This is what happened. Old man, I am so bold as to want to give you a pill on behalf of all the people of China."
"medicine?!"
The old man suddenly grinned: "What medicine? Are you trying to poison me? I have security guards here..."
"Don't get me wrong, old man..." Jin Ruyu began to explain.
"I was just kidding."
The old man laughed: "It's fun."
"I've heard that the old man still has a childlike heart."
Lin Fan also smiled and said, "Now it seems that it is indeed the case."
"Old man, you should have heard about the changes in the old Tianshi of Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion and the eleven deputy ministers of the Ministry of Residents' Happy Life."
"I guessed..."
The old man sighed softly: "As soon as you mentioned medicine, I guessed it."
"However, I am an old man with one foot in the coffin. How can I be worthy of taking such a miraculous medicine?"
The old man is very wise, and some small details are enough to make him think of many things.
But at this moment, he was extremely sad, and his slightly emotional old face was full of vicissitudes and helplessness.
"If you, old man, are not worthy, then few people in this world are worthy of eating it."
Lin Fan directly took out a spiritual energy pill and said, "Old man, eat it. Only when you are healthy can you research better rice."
The Dali Pills can cure all diseases, but the doctor has just said that the old man does not have any serious illness, let alone a terminal illness, so the Lingqi Pills are more suitable than the Dali Pills.
"Um!"
Jin Ruyu and Zhou Na kept nodding their heads to show their agreement.
But the old man heard this and smiled simply: "You even said this, I really can't refuse."
He has worked hard for most of his life, and now it is time for him to retire. His health is getting worse and worse...
Although he is still fighting on the front line, insisting on going to work and doing research, no one understands the gradual weakening of his physical functions better than himself.
For him, developing better rice is more important than anything else!
“I’ll eat it!”
The spiritual pill enters the stomach.
Soon, the old man sat in front of the three people and underwent a huge change...
Ten minutes passed.
The old man sitting opposite me looked obviously much younger.
At this moment, how could he look like an octogenarian
He was clearly a man in his forties or fifties, and looked very simple, like a genuine farmer.
He doesn’t have the temperament of a top scientist, researcher, or expert, but rather the feeling of a farmer, which is the unique temperament of the Magic Rice Master.
Simple, pragmatic, hardworking, and focused, they have been working on the front line without stopping to feed more people.
"What's your name, sir?"
The young old man reached out his hand to Lin Fan.
After shaking his hand gently, Lin Fan said with a smile, "I don't deserve to be called sir. I, Lin Fan, have admired you since I was a child."
"It is also a kind of fate that we can meet today."
Lin Fan has always had great respect for the old man in front of him.
Once upon a time, most Chinese people were really starving!
Even in times of famine, eating one's own children is not just a story or historical legend.
It was only after the old man devoted many years of research that this situation gradually changed.
Of course, this couldn't all be attributed to the old man, but Lin Fan knew one thing very well, that was...
I have really eaten the old man’s rice!
"It turned out to be Mr. Lin."
The old man stood up and personally poured tea for Lin Fan and the other two.
"Tea, please."
"I'm so flattered!"
Both women expressed their flattery.
Only Lin Fan raised the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.
"good!"
The old man smiled.
Then he said, "You call me old man. I know you may respect me in your heart, but I want to say that you don't have to do that."
"And in my opinion, you can do much more than I can!"
"oh?"
Lin Fan was stunned.
"Why do you say that, old man?"
“That’s a long story.”
The old man gradually seemed to sigh: "We are China, so backward!"
"It's a little better now, but once upon a time, especially at the beginning of the founding of the country, it was really..."
"Even many years later, we are still far behind."
"That year, during the military parade, I heard the man say that we didn't have enough planes, so we should turn back and fly a few more times..."
"What a huge country!"
"There weren't even enough planes to go around during the military parade!"
"It is a great shame and humiliation. It is also extremely backward..."
"After years of development, our people no longer suffer from hunger, and our planes no longer have to fly twice. Even if we pull out all the fighter planes and fly all day long, we won't make the same flight twice."
"This prosperous age is just as he wished."
"But we still have many problems that have not been solved, and in my opinion, the appearance of you cultivators can help too many people."
"For example, disease! Today, our people no longer suffer from hunger, and our country is relatively peaceful. Most of the people who die every year die of disease..."
"It would be great if the immortals' methods could be used in this area."
The old man's eyes are shining...
"If you can use the methods of immortals to cure endless illnesses, it would be a great merit. Compared with that, what am I, an old man, compared to that?"
"Moreover, I have a feeling that our entire nation will reach a whole new level because of this."
After hearing this, Lin Fan nodded slightly.
"We will do our best within our capabilities, old man, don't worry."
Is curing diseases and saving lives a meritorious deed
That’s definitely the case!
Even though the Heavenly Dao wants to carry out a human cleansing plan, this is definitely a great merit for "humanity"!
At least that's what the legends and myths of the past say.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be the story of Laozi, the head of the Three Pure Ones, founding the human religion, and thus receiving merits from heaven and achieving the status of a saint.
Of course, there is still a premise - the Heavenly Dao is not carrying out a human elimination plan.
However, Lin Fan felt that the current laws of nature on Earth would not implement a plan to eliminate humans.
otherwise…
I made the Demon Rice Master younger. Isn't this ruining the good will of heaven
You haven’t seen anything happen to you by the Heavenly Dao yet, right
But, no benefits were seen!
This made Lin Fan feel a little uncomfortable.
There is no harm or benefit to be seen, so is it right or wrong
Confused way of heaven!
…
"You are a good boy..."
The old man held Lin Fan's hand for a long time and refused to let go. Then, they talked a lot.
From the hard times in the past to the achievements and gains today, and then to his thoughts and prospects for the future after he suddenly became younger and healthier...
It was not until the evening that the three of them were kept for a quick meal before being allowed to leave.
even…
He also gave Lin Fan and the other two a bag of rice each.
"You're welcome."
The old man smiled and said, "I don't have anything else here except Mido. I know you all have what you need, but for the time being, this is the only thing I can give you."
"Don't be disgusted."
"How can that be possible?!"
The three of them immediately said that they would definitely not mind.
This is the rice personally sent by the Demonic Rice Master. Who else can have such a privilege? !
…
Leave Kyoto and return to City C.
After returning home, Lin Fan put the bag of rice directly into the kitchen, and then thought about what to do next.
"As for merit, it seems that there is no progress for the time being. The way of heaven is really confusing. It doesn't even say a word whether it is good or bad."
"Then let's wait until the spiritual energy recovers and then determine whether it is good or bad."
He talked to himself.
"The words of the Demonic Rice Patriarch really reminded me. If curing illnesses and saving lives is considered merit, then after the spiritual energy is revived, should I be considered to have done immeasurable merit?"
