There had been no guests in the past few days, and Li Nianfan's life had become peaceful again.
On this day, he had a hearty meal and went to the backyard with his fishing rod.
The elephant turtle was lying on a boulder by the pond, squinting in the sun, looking very contented.
Looking at the elephant turtle, there was obviously no monster in the pond, so where were the fish I raised?
Li Nianfan did not believe in evil and cast his rod again, sitting next to the elephant turtle and continuing to fish.
The elephant turtle was only a juvenile, about half the size of Li Nianfan, and it just glanced at him slightly, then continued to lazily close its eyes.
Li Nianfan smiled slightly and flicked his hand.
Snap.
The fish hook drew a perfect arc in the air and landed precisely in the center of the pond.
Ripples appeared on the surface of the pond, and the fish hook sank a little bit.
The water was crystal clear, like glass, but if you were in the water, you would find that there was not a single fish swimming in the water, even the fry that Li Nianfan had just put in had disappeared.
A huge phantom slowly opened its eyes, glanced at the fish hook in front of it, and swam towards the depths of the pond with a flick of its tail, leaving a golden mark along the way.
Half an hour later.
Li Nianfan lifted the fish hook slightly, and it was pulled out of the water.
He looked at the empty fishing rod with a blank expression, and it was obvious that he had already prepared to return empty-handed.
"Strange, strange."
Li Nianfan shook his head, looked at the elephant turtle and said to himself: "Old turtle, if you could talk, tell me what's going on in this pond?"
The elephant turtle had fallen asleep and didn't move.
Li Nianfan got up helplessly, patted the dust under his butt, and left.
He made up his mind not to raise fish fry in the pond in the future. If he wanted to eat fish, he would go to Luoxian City to buy them directly.
Li Nianfan put the fishing rod back to its original place and closed the door. "Dahei, let's go to Luoxian City."
Luoxian City was as prosperous as ever.
Aunt Zhang was walking around the city gate with her daughter. When she saw Li Nianfan, she immediately shouted, "Nannan, Master Li is here. Hurry up and thank him for saving your life."
A little girl with a braid turned her head blankly and looked at Li Nianfan with empty eyes. She didn't say a word and seemed to have lost her soul.
Li Nianfan was slightly stunned, "Aunt Zhang, what's wrong with Nannan..."
"Hey, she was captured by a monster last time and became like this after waking up. She must have been scared out of her mind by the monster." Aunt Zhang
's eyes were sore and she sighed. Li Nianfan frowned. When he thought of Nannan's liveliness before, his heart ached.
"Aunt Zhang, is there any way to restore her?" Li Nianfan asked.
"I've asked several wandering Taoist priests, and they all said that if we spend more time talking to our daughter, there's a chance we can summon her spirit." Aunt Zhang hesitated for a moment, then said earnestly, "Mr. Li, you're a scholar, could you please spare
some time to spend with our daughter? Maybe what you say will work." "I will." Li Nianfan nodded solemnly, taking it seriously.
Aunt Zhang was holding a basket of eggs in her hand. "Mr. Li, you left in a hurry last time and I didn't have time to thank you. You must accept this."
Li Nianfan shook his head with a wry smile, "Aunt Zhang, I can't accept this. I didn't help you last time."
"Mr. Li, don't be modest. Even the three immortals praised you endlessly. I think they are immortals and will definitely look down on my eggs. You can't reject them." Aunt Zhang stuffed the eggs into Li Nianfan's hands.
Li Nianfan had to accept them with a wry smile.
After saying goodbye to Aunt Zhang and her daughter, Li Nianfan came to the fishmonger again.
"Boss, give me two big carp."
"Hey, Mr. Li is here." The vendor smiled enthusiastically, "Are you not going to buy fish fry?"
Li Nianfan shook his head, "I don't know what's wrong with my pond. The fish fry disappeared as soon as I put them in."
"How's the elephant turtle?" The vendor asked with a frown.
Li Nianfan replied, "The elephant turtle is fine. It basks in the sun every day as usual."
"That's strange." The vendor was also puzzled.
The elephant turtle was fine, which meant there was no monster, but how could the fish fry disappear?
Li Nianfan said nonchalantly, "I'll just stop raising fish and buy fish from now on."
"Mr. Li, it's a good idea to buy fish from me. I get up early every morning to go fishing in Jingyue Lake. I guarantee that every fish is fresh and delicious." The vendor laughed, "Even Mr. Wang Sun from the Immortal Dynasty wants to snatch it."
Li Nianfan was surprised and said, "Is it true?"
"How could I lie to you? Just yesterday, the second princess of the Immortal Dynasty went out shopping. When she passed by my place, she said that she liked to eat fish. The prime minister's son and the national teacher's son tried to snatch my fish to show their courtesy to the princess, and the two almost got into a fight in the street!"
The peddler's face was full of pride, "They are all immortal cultivators, don't they still like my fish?"
Li Nianfan was slightly stunned, knowing that Luo Shiyu did this on purpose. No wonder she hadn't been here for a while, and it turned out that she had already started planning.
It's just that I didn't expect her to control the situation so quickly. The national teacher's son and the prime minister's son are a little weak.
Li Nianfan smiled, said goodbye to the peddler, and walked back.
While walking on the road, the door of a house next to them, which had been closed, suddenly opened, and a row of maids rushed out from inside.
Crying sounds came from the yard, and many people had tears on their faces.
Soon, a burst of howling came from the other side of the road. A team of people carrying a coffin rushed in and stopped at the door of this family.
Everyone hurriedly carried a woman out of the house and prepared to put her in the coffin.
"It seems that Mr. Chen's wife did not make it."
"Two lives for one body, how pitiful."
"Mr. Chen and his wife were both very good people, what a pity."
The people around shook their heads and sighed, but they were no longer surprised by this phenomenon.
The medical technology in the world of immortal cultivation is almost the same as that in the ancient times of Li Nianfan's previous life, especially when giving birth. Unless there is help from immortals, it is very easy to get into trouble. Li Nianfan
's heart was also surging. His eyes fell on the woman and saw that her eyes were tightly closed. She seemed to have stopped breathing, but sweat was still flowing from her forehead.
At just one glance, he saw that the woman was not dead, but was exhausted to the point of fainting.
"Wait! She's not dead yet!"
Li Nianfan looked at the coffin that was about to close and hurried forward to stop it.
A middle-aged man with red eyes said in a hoarse voice: "Mr. Li, what are you doing?"
A happy event turned into a funeral. If Li Nianfan had not had a good reputation in Luoxian City, he would have turned against him long ago.
"Your wife and son are not dead. I can save them!" Li Nianfan said.
"Mr. Li, are you kidding?" The middle-aged man was stunned.
The midwives around him also looked at Li Nianfan in disbelief.
"I'm sure I can save them!" Li Nianfan said anxiously: "Quickly evacuate the crowd, and ask someone to prepare gauze and oil lamps, I will save people! It's too late!"
The situation was critical, and he could only save people in the coffin.
