Sure enough, Qin Feng's question was heard.
Little Stone nodded and replied, "My father has been sick recently and has been bedridden for over a month without getting better. My mother has been taking care of him, and we are a bit short of money."
"Didn't you ask the neighbors or my parents to borrow some?"
"Yes, at first the neighbors were very generous, but after a while they stopped being willing. As for your father and mother, they have helped our family too much, and your mother was worried about being a burden, so she didn't dare to ask for more."
"So, has your marriage been arranged?"
"It's settled. We'll be holding our wedding at the Lin family home in three days. Brother Qin Feng, you absolutely have to come!"
"So fast?"
"It's not going to happen anytime soon; we finalized it a month ago."
Qin Feng paused for a moment, then looked at Guo Yunkai and asked seriously:
"Yun Kai, let me ask you, are you really willing to marry into the Lin family? If not, I can help you resolve this matter."
Little Stone heard Qin Feng call his name and knew he was serious. He replied seriously as well:
"I know you're very capable, Brother Feng, and you can help me solve this problem, but people still have to grow on their own. You can help me once, but you can't help me forever."
My father has been ill for so long, and it is thanks to the Lin family's kindness in helping us for so long that the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Furthermore, we are already engaged, and breaking the engagement would be bad for both of us.
Seeing that he spoke logically and persuasively, Qin Feng didn't press him further. He was right; it's best to solve problems yourself if you can solve them yourself.
Then Little Stone continued, somewhat hesitantly:
"Besides, I think that Miss Lin is a very nice person, and she's, well, she's very pretty."
His face turned bright red the moment he finished speaking.
Qin Feng was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and let out a strange laugh like a villain, looking at him meaningfully.
Little Stone blushed even more under his gaze, looking somewhat awkward, and could only scratch his head to ease the embarrassment.
"You little stone, so you've taken a fancy to that girl. No wonder you were so cooperative. Ah, so this is the kind of person you are, little stone."
I thought this kid was a bit dim-witted. I almost misjudged him. He has a kind of wisdom that makes him look at him in a new light.
“Let’s go. No wonder I haven’t seen Uncle Guo and Aunt Li for a while. I’ll go see your father; maybe I can heal his injuries.”
Qin Feng patted him on the shoulder and said as they walked.
Guo Yunkai was overjoyed and quickly followed.
As soon as they arrived at Xiao Shitou's house, Qin Feng could smell a strong medicinal odor from outside the door.
It seems she's been sick for a long time; no wonder.
Little Stone pushed open the wooden door and called out, "Dad, Mom, Brother Feng has come to see you."
His mother heard the sound and hurried out to greet him, saying politely, "Xiao Feng, I didn't expect you to have time to come and see us. Please come in and sit down."
"I just finished resolving some issues. I heard that Uncle Guo wasn't feeling well, so I came to check on him. I don't know if I can be of any help."
Upon hearing that they had come to treat her husband's illness, Aunt Li's face immediately lit up with anticipation. She quickly thanked them and made way for them.
Uncle Guo lay on the bed, weak and in pain, and managed a weak smile at him.
Qin Feng scanned the area with his divine sense, got a general idea, frowned, and looked rather unpleasant.
Uncle Guo had a surge of internal energy that made him feel unwell, but it wasn't fatal. Qin Feng sensed a conspiracy.
Seeing this, Little Stone quickly asked, "Brother Feng, is something wrong?"
"Did you offend anyone during the period before Uncle Guo fell ill?"
She thought about it carefully, then shook her head.
"It seems we haven't offended anyone. We're just ordinary people, and we're always careful. Why would we offend anyone?"
Qin Feng thought about it and agreed. He knew Xiao Shitou's parents' personalities; they were down-to-earth, honest, and wouldn't go out of their way to provoke others.
"That's strange. This isn't the work of an ordinary person. It's an external evil entering his body. A surge of true energy is damaging his bodily functions, preventing him from recovering but also preventing him from dying. Without removing this true energy, he won't recover simply by taking medicine."
Aunt Li hurriedly said, "Xiao Feng, do you have a way to cure him? If you can cure him, I am willing to be your slave in my next life to repay you. Little Stone, quickly kowtow to Xiao Feng."
Qin Feng quickly stopped them.
"Don't worry, Little Stone and I are good friends. His father's affairs are my affairs. There's no need to be so polite."
Then he forced out the true energy from Uncle Guo's body and used his own spiritual energy to nourish his body, and his expression improved a lot.
"His problem has been resolved; he can gradually recover by adjusting his diet."
Aunt Li pulled Little Stone aside and thanked him profusely once again.
Qin Feng didn't disturb the couple and took Xiao Shitou out.
"Little Stone, think carefully about when your father got sick and how he got sick."
The more Qin Feng thought about it, the more suspicious he became. Uncle Guo's illness was caused by the methods of a cultivator. What kind of cultivator would use such methods to torment a mortal?
If there is real hatred, one move is enough to kill. Unless it is a deep-seated grudge, Aunt Guo may not be able to say, so he asked Little Stone.
Little Stone thought for a moment, then said hesitantly, "It seems like it was more than a month ago, I just suddenly got sick."
Qin Feng muttered to himself, "A month ago, a month ago."
As if he had just thought of something, he asked again, "When did your mother meet the Lin family?"
"It seems like it was more than a month ago."
After Xiao Shitou finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something and looked at Qin Hao, saying, "Brother Feng, do you mean that my father's illness was caused by the Lin family?"
