In front of the side hall door of the Duke's castle, Duke Green was walking back and forth anxiously, and the butler Arnold beside him also had an anxious look on his face.
"Master, please rest assured. With Linda and several reliable doctors here, I think everything will be safe and smooth!"
"Yes, it will be safe and smooth. By the way! Arnold, Pastor Steve still refuses to take action?" When Duke Green mentioned Pastor Steve, the anger in his eyes could burn the entire Maple Leaf Territory.
"Master, that Steve still insists that the offerings are not enough to invite the God of Light to bestow His grace."
"Humph, if the offering is not enough, just say that the money I gave is not enough. I will put this account on record for now and we will settle it later."
"Yes, Master."
"Arnold, have you found out what happened this time? Why did such a thing happen when Xiao Xingchen went out for a walk?" As a man who had seen a lot of ups and downs, he quickly suppressed his emotions and turned to investigate the root cause of the problem.
"Master, I have questioned the servants many times and have used all the necessary means, but their answers are all the same. They just said that the young master heard a strange noise and then went into the bushes. When they arrived, they saw the young master lying on the ground."
"A bunch of rubbish. Four of them can't even take care of their own master. Keeping them is a waste of our food. Get rid of them."
"As for why Little Xingchen got into trouble, let's investigate. Something that nearly cost my grandson his life happened near my Duke's Castle. It's definitely not an accident."
"I'll arrange it right away." Arnold said and quickly walked out of the side hall. When he appeared next to Green again, he nodded to indicate that he had given the instructions. It only took a few minutes.
Green looked anxiously at his grandson's room in the side hall. The inner torment made the old man feel mixed emotions.
"Little Xingchen, please don't get into any trouble! If you get into any trouble, how will you let Grandpa live?"
The door of the side hall suddenly opened, and a blonde woman in her thirties rushed out and ran straight towards Green.
"Master, it's bad, please go in and check on the little master, he's almost dying!!!"
As soon as the blonde woman finished speaking, Green rushed into the side room like crazy.
The room was filled with a strange herbal smell. In the middle of the room stood a small, exquisitely crafted bed, where a dark-haired child with a dark complexion lay, breathing out more than breathing in.
He walked a few steps to the child and saw his once lively and lovely grandson now lying on the bed in such a situation. The old man's tears rolled out of his eyes like rain.
"Xiao Xingchen, what's wrong with you? You can't leave grandpa alone!"
After saying that, he seemed to have thought of something, turned around and asked the blonde woman who had just reported the news, "Linda, wasn't little Xingchen fine at the beginning? How come he suddenly became like this?" The old man's tone was like the calm before the storm, which frightened the blonde woman who was familiar with the old man's character.
"Master, we have tried all possible methods to cure the poison in the young master, but we are still unable to remove it. Please forgive me, Master." After saying this, he knelt down in front of Green.
Just when Green wanted to vent his anger, Arnold next to him flashed to the child again, covered the child's heart with one hand, and the energy in his body continued to warm the child's whole body.
But such an action was futile. While supporting Arnold's fighting spirit, Green was also sensing the life status of his grandson.
In Green's perception, the flame of his grandson's life was like a candle flame in a strong wind that was extinguished before his eyes.
The candle flame burned tenaciously, but after the last bit of wax was consumed, it was on the verge of going out.
The flames swayed a few times in the wind, and were finally extinguished amid the roars and screams of the two old men, Green and Arnold.
“No!!!”
"My grandson!"
The old man, who had lost all hope for himself and his family, let out a loud roar and fainted, losing consciousness.
Arnold quickly supported Green and placed the old man on the child's bed. The doctors nearby rushed forward to check the situation.
Just when everyone was getting impatient like headless flies, the child who was originally dead lying on the bed suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.
But after exerting too much force, he felt dizzy and lay down again. However, this change gave Arnold next to him hope. After a check, he found that the originally extinguished fire of life was ignited again. Although it was very weak, it was really burning.
He quickly reminded his master in his ear that his grandson was not dead but was alive.
Arnold used his fighting spirit to clear the blood circulation for old Green, and soon the old man woke up. After hearing Arnold's words and checking on his grandson's condition, the old man's heart came back to life.
Lin Xingchen walked aimlessly in the garden of the Duke's Castle, thinking about his situation as he walked.
It was obvious that he had worn it, and he had worn a magical world. After thinking about it for a while before he wore it, he felt somewhat relieved after listening to the conversation between him and the man who claimed to be the acting master of Xuanyin Palace.
According to the memories left by the original owner of this body, his origin can be said to be both noble and poor.
What is noble is that he is the only heir to the Maple Leaf Territory, and he also inherits the hereditary title of Duke. Of course, this is subject to the premise that the current owner of the title and territory of this body is still healthy.
As for poverty, it is because except for the large number of maple trees, other crops are difficult to grow in the entire Maple Leaf Territory. The entire territory can be compared to some small kingdoms, but the mountains occupy two-thirds of the territory, and the population is not as large as that of larger county towns.
Moreover, successive Maple Leaf lords have been very friendly to the civilians in their territories, and there has been basically no incident of the outside world treating the territory residents as non-human beings.
I am four years old now, an age that even dogs would dislike, but it is a blessing for me that this kind of life is like living a god.
He didn't know where the thing given by the acting palace master was. When he thought about how he had accidentally spun the reincarnation wheel, Lin Xingchen felt deeply moved.
"Young master, it's time to go back and rest. Supervisor Linda said that you are not in good health now and you'd better not walk too much these days." The servant at the side said to Lin carefully.
"Go back!"
Lying on his bed, Lin Xingchen was about to take a rest after sending the servants away. At this moment, he felt dizzy and then his eyes went black and he lost consciousness.
The next morning, Lin Xingchen was woken up by the servant and after having breakfast with his grandfather, he hid in the room alone to check on yesterday's surprise.
There is a door in Lin Xingchen's consciousness space. When he opens the door, the world in front of him suddenly becomes clear.
This is a colorful world. The most eye-catching thing in it is a tree that is so huge that it is indescribable. Under the tree there are pieces of land that seem to be specially planned. The pieces are connected together like a Go board, which is very beautiful.
There were a lot of things planted in the field, some of which Lin Xingchen didn't recognize. However, the land had probably not been taken care of for some time, and some withered vegetation fell at the bottom of the field.
There is a large pond next to the field. The surface of the pond is covered with lotus leaves. There are various kinds of fish swimming in the water, chasing each other, which is very pleasing to the eye.
Looking to the side, there is a warehouse. Pushing open the door, it is filled with small wooden cabinets like those in a Chinese medicine store, arranged neatly and orderly.
I opened a drawer and found rice inside, and it looked like it had just been harvested.
After that, he checked a lot of drawers and found wheat, corn, chestnuts, sweet potatoes and other crops, countless of which Lin Xingchen recognized and didn't recognize.
There is a mill next to the warehouse. From his memory of last night, Lin Xingchen knows that this mill can operate by itself as long as the crops that need to be ground are put into it.
Looking at everything in front of him, Lin Xingchen murmured to himself: "These will all be mine from now on!"
Lin Xingchen pushed open the door and called the servants guarding the door in. He pointed to the fruit on the bed and asked them to take it to find his grandfather, Duke Green.
My only support in this world is this cheap grandfather, so it won’t do any harm to curry favor with him.
In the front hall of the Duke's Castle, Green was calculating something, and the butler Arnold was helping him. The servants stood in a row with various account books in their hands.
"Grandpa, I got some delicious food. I bring these for you and Grandpa Arnold." After he finished speaking, the servants immediately brought forward various fruits.
“Hehe... Little Xingchen, just eat the delicious food yourself. Grandpa won’t eat it.” The old man hugged Lin Xingchen and wanted to kiss him.
Quickly dodging the kissing mouth, Lin Xingchen began to distribute fruits to everyone.
Butler Arnold got a watermelon as big as a basketball, while housekeeper Linda got four big red apples, and the other servants got three melons and two dates.
"By the way, Grandpa, what are you doing here?" Looking at the piles of account books, Lin Xingchen was a little curious.
The old man seemed to be conquered by this sweet and sour fruit. He ate it happily and replied while eating: "New Year is coming soon. I am settling our taxes. After the New Year, I will have someone send the taxes to His Majesty the King."
"Is that so? Then I won't disturb you from doing your work, Grandpa. I'm going out to play." After saying that, he led the servants out for a walk for a while.
"What a sensible child! Why let such a well-behaved child have to endure such hardships since childhood?" Green said softly.
"Master, suffering will only make the little master more sensible. Don't you think the little master has become more sensible after what happened half a month ago?"
"It's because I discovered it that I feel unfair for Xiao Xingchen. Arnold, is there still no news about the young master and his wife?"
"Master, it's been more than four years. If the young master wanted to come back, he would have come back a long time ago. Don't worry. He will come back naturally when the time comes."
"Yes, this is always his home. He will come back when he finds what he wants."
