The cold and aloof Prince Ning, who was neither loved by his father nor his mother, was forced into an arranged marriage by the old emperor who despised him. The emperor chose a foolish young man t...
Chapter 127 You are so awesome, Sun Shuo
There was nothing to pack, as his bag had disappeared when he entered Qimeng Tower.
Following Sun Shuo downstairs, Liang Xiuzhu watched him jump onto the horse with a graceful and elegant move. I couldn't help but be stunned.
Sun Shuo is tall and has handsome features. He wore a narrow-sleeved, dark black robe fastened at the waist with a red leather belt. A long sword hung from the buckle. The beautiful, slender and explosive legs are firmly placed in the stirrups.
With a tall and straight figure and a slim waist and monkey back, he is the man he has always longed to be. From this perspective, Sun Shuo is still quite handsome, and not as annoying as before.
"What are you standing there for?"
Sun Shuo frowned slightly when he saw him standing there and refusing to get on the horse. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, it seemed that Liang Xiuzhu didn't know how to ride a horse.
So he awkwardly stretched out his hand, saying impatiently: "Hurry up, don't waste time."
"Oh! Okay."
Liang Xiuzhu came to his senses and looked at the hand stretched out in front of him. He calmly grabbed it and used his strength to climb onto the horse's back.
Sitting on the horse's back, Liang Xiuzhu naturally grabbed the clothes on both sides of Sun Shuo's waist.
"alright."
Feeling the slight touch on his waist, Sun Shuo's back suddenly stiffened. He coughed twice and said, "Hold on tight. If you fall, I won't be able to take care of you."
"Oh. Got it." After all that had happened, Liang Xiuzhu didn't bother with him.
Sun Shuo always seemed impatient with him, but he would still help him. So he has a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
Liang Xiuzhu complained in his heart, a magnanimous person like me wouldn't care.
Halfway through the walk, Liang Xiuzhu suddenly remembered that he had not told him where he lived. But the direction the horse was heading was indeed the direction of my home.
"Sun Shuo, how do you know where I live?" Liang Xiuzhu suddenly asked.
After a brief silence, Sun Shuo said, "I ran into you while on a mission. That's why I know."
"When?" Liang Xiuzhu was a little surprised when he heard it. He reached out and patted him on the shoulder with a regretful tone: "Then why didn't you say hello to me? It's a good opportunity to meet my mother. It's all thanks to you that I got what happened last time."
"I'm busy." Sun Shuo uttered two words and didn't say anything no matter how Liang Xiuzhu asked him.
The more natural Liang Xiuzhu got along with him, the more uncomfortable Sun Shuo felt. Perhaps it was the inner demon that was at work, so I suppressed the restlessness in my heart.
Sun Shuo ignored Liang Xiuzhu who was holding out his hand and chattering, pulled the reins and urged the horse to speed up towards Liang Xiuzhu's home.
An hour later, two people appeared at the gate of the courtyard.
"Mom, I'm back!" Liang Xiuzhu pushed open the gate and called Sun Shuo in: "Come in."
Sun Shuo looked around and saw that the yard was in tidiness. But the ground was littered with withered yellow leaves and no one cleaned them up. The hens in the pen outside the courtyard were walking leisurely, but there was no food on the ground.
The yard was quiet and it was already past noon. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be this quiet.
Sun Shuo's expression began to become serious. Thinking of the fact that he did not notice the smoke rising from the kitchen in the past two days, a feeling of uneasiness came over him.
Liang Xiuzhu didn't get a response and turned around to ask Sun Shuo to wait, but he saw a serious look on his face: "What's wrong?"
"Come into the house and take a look." Sun Shuo strode into the house, and Liang Xiuzhu followed closely behind him, feeling inexplicably panicked.
There are three houses and a kitchen in the yard. A side room, with the main hall and the living quarters for the two in the middle. When I entered the house, I didn't see anyone in the main hall. As soon as I entered Jiang Wenyi's room, I was shocked by the mess in the room.
Everything that could be turned over in the house was turned upside down. Messy clothes were piled all over the floor, and tables and chairs were tilted on the ground in a mess. Nothing of value was left.
"mother!"
Seeing the scene in front of him, Liang Xiuzhu's heart stopped and he screamed. Without even bothering to take care of the mess in the room, he quickly ran to the bed.
I saw Jiang Wenyi still lying weakly on the bed, with no scars on her body. Liang Xiuzhu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mom! Mom! Wake up." Liang Xiuzhu shouted several times but got no response. His heart, which had just calmed down, suddenly rose to his throat.
He reached out his hand in panic to feel Jiang Wenyi's pulse and check her breathing. Liang Xiuzhu's face turned pale, knowing that she must have an asthma attack again.
Turning his head to look at Sun Shuo, Liang Xiuzhu looked panicked and said in a hurried voice: "Can you help me? Help me find a doctor. My mother is sick and needs acupuncture!!"
Seeing the urgency of the situation, Sun Shuo nodded at him and said, "Wait."
After saying that, he immediately turned around and ran towards the door with big strides. He jumped on his horse in one swift step and hurried to find a doctor.
An hour had passed when Jiang Wenyi woke up. Liang Xiuzhu sat at the head of the bed and watched the doctor put the silver needles into the medicine box. I asked anxiously, "How is it, is my mother okay?"
"It's fine now, but Madam probably hasn't eaten for two days." The doctor looked at Liang Xiuzhu with dissatisfaction and said, "Are you her son?"
"I am...."
"How did you take care of your mother? You left her alone at home with no one to take care of her. If it was a few hours later, even a Daluo Immortal would not be able to save her."
After saying that, the doctor stood up and prepared to leave: "I will cook some perilla porridge for your mother in the next few days. It can help to strengthen the lungs. Also, you should not stop taking medicine. Your mother should have not taken medicine for two days."
"Yes, thank you, doctor." Liang Xiuzhu looked guilty, and his eyes couldn't help but become moist as he looked at his weak mother lying on the bed.
It was his incompetence that caused him to fail in taking good care of Jiang Wenyi.
Sun Shuo gave the doctor the money for the medicine and sent him out. When he came back, he saw Liang Xiuzhu sitting alone by the bed, wiping her tears.
When it rains, it pours. It's bad enough that you've been cheated. Before leaving, he hired a village woman to take care of Jiang Wenyi, but he didn't expect that by doing so he was inviting a wolf into the house, and their only remaining money was stolen.
Sun Shuo looked at him sadly and didn't know what to say. He cleaned up the mess on the floor and said, "The doctor said he wanted to cook perilla porridge. Do you have any at home?"
"Well...yes." Liang Xiuzhu stood up and walked towards the kitchen. The most urgent thing for him was to quickly cook some food for Jiang Wenyi.
Wiping away tears as he walked, Liang Xiuzhu told himself that no matter how difficult it was, life had to go on. Haven’t we come this far over the years?
After lighting the stove, Liang Xiuzhu began to cook perilla porridge. Sun Shuo was a little surprised as he watched him skillfully chop wood, boil water and cook porridge.
I originally thought that since he looked so otherworldly, he wouldn't be able to do such rough work. But his movements were very skillful. This made Sun Shuo even more curious about his experience.
There are too many contradictions in this person.
The flames in the stove licked the firewood, but three or two pieces of firewood were not enough to satisfy his appetite. Liang Xiuzhu swung the axe and chopped the log with great effort.
"Give it to me."
Seeing this, Sun Shuo, who was standing nearby, reached out and took the axe from his hand, and quickly and accurately chopped the log into pieces that were easy to use as firewood.
Liang Xiuzhu stepped aside, squatted in front of the stove and added the firewood that Sun Shuo handed over to him. Liang Xiuzhu was very envious of Sun Shuo's easy appearance in chopping wood.
If I could be as strong as Sun Shuo, I would have no problem finding a job.
So he couldn't help but say, "You are so strong. I wish I had your strength."
He threw the chopped firewood aside and piled it up. Sun Shuo was very pleased to hear his praise. After hearing this, he seemed to have no more brute strength than to chop down all the firewood piled against the wall of the kitchen, splitting it into neat pieces and stacking them up.
“Wow!”
After Liang Xiuzhu finished cooking the porridge, he looked back at the half-man-high pile of firewood by the wall and couldn't help but exclaimed: "You chopped them all so quickly? You are amazing, Sun Shuo!"
