Chapter 171: How long have you been digging wild vegetables?
Ran Qingxuan frowned, approached Gu Yanchen and asked in a low voice: "What are they whispering about?"
“I can’t hear it clearly…” With Gu Yanchen’s strong internal strength, how could he not hear it? After just a little thought, he understood why these three people were talking like that.
"Hey...you usually have eyes in the back of your head, why can't you hear anything now?"
Gu Yanchen smiled but said nothing. The group walked for about three or four minutes and stopped in front of an independent courtyard.
Tang Xingyun gently pushed open the door in front of him, and a strong, choking medicinal fragrance hit him in the face.
There were many medicinal herbs drying around the yard. A little medicine boy was squatting on the ground picking herbs into a basket. When he heard the sound, he stood up and saluted towards Tang Xingyun.
"Good morning, Grandmaster. Are you here to see Grandmaster Uncle?"
"Well, where is your master?"
Ran Qingxuan showed a trace of emotion on his face. He didn't expect that in this different world, Qu Feng would accept disciples...
Guyu put down the medicine basket and walked forward, looking at the three people brought in curiously.
"The master is giving acupuncture to Master Bo..."
"Just go do your thing, we'll go in by ourselves."
"yes."
"This is Qu Feng's apprentice, named Guyu. My elder brother has to rub his body with specific medicinal herbs every day. It can be said that if it weren't for their dedication, my elder brother would not have been able to persist for so long."
Gu Yanchen looked at Guyu, a child of only twelve or thirteen, squatting on the ground picking medicine in very thin clothes, and couldn't help but frown and asked.
"The Divine Doctor Sect should have been very wealthy before it retreated from the world. Even if Tang Ciyun was poisoned and in a coma and needed medicine, it wouldn't have fallen to this point, right?"
When he came to ask for medicine three years ago, the Miracle Doctor's Sect was not what he saw now. It didn't make sense that it had become like this in just three years.
Tang Xingyun's face flushed slightly, and when he was about to explain, the door in front of him was gently pushed open, and Qu Feng's cold voice was heard.
"It wasn't too bad before the Divine Doctor Sect retreated from the world, but getting anything in this world comes at a price. If you get it without paying, it's stealing. Even if you're a bit miserable, at least you have a clear conscience!"
A tall figure slowly walked out of the mist. After seeing Qu Feng's face clearly, Ran Qingxuan couldn't suppress his inner excitement and walked forward quickly like an arrow.
"Style?"
The woman's clear voice was choked with sobs, and Qu Feng was slightly startled. When he saw those lively eyes filled with tears, the usually cold man lost his composure instantly.
"Ah Xuan? Is that you?"
The familiar name made Ran Qingxuan deflate instantly, his breathing began to become disordered. Reaching out to hold his heart that was beating wildly with excitement, Ran Qingxuan tried to hold back his tears and spoke with a sob.
"Yeah! Isn't that me?"
Gu Yanchen's face showed no expression, but his hands, hidden under his sleeves, tightened instantly because of Qu Feng's intimate address...
His breathing began to become rapid. Suppressing the urge to pull the person back, Gu Yanchen looked at Qu Feng quietly without making any expression.
Qu Feng had lived alone in a different world for five years. God knows when he saw the name on the A4 paper, his heart was already filled with uncontrollable excitement.
Opening his hands naturally, Qu Feng said with tears in his eyes in a tone of doting yet blaming.
"Am I still your brother? You didn't even give me a hug after not seeing me for five years!"
Ran Qingxuan could no longer hold back after hearing this. Just like a child who couldn't find his home and finally met his parents, Ran Qingxuan buried his head in Qu Feng's chest and burst into tears, as if telling about the grievances he had suffered for a long time.
An Si just watched his wife cry in a man's arms, and his master had a very bad face, with a hint of... grievance?
In a hurry, An Si plucked up the courage to cough lightly, and Ran Qingxuan, who was feeling aggrieved, slowly withdrew from his arms and wiped the tears from his face.
Qu Feng was still feeling sorry for Ran Qingxuan being pushed away by her because he was too thin. He looked at her in confusion, and saw Ran Qingxuan pointing at the man standing next to Tang Xingyun.
"I forgot to tell you that I'm married. This is my husband, Gu Yanchen!"
Qu Feng frowned and looked at Ran Qingxuan, who was only fifteen years old, in shock.
"What? Getting married at such a young age, are you... okay?"
Ran Qingxuan was also a little embarrassed, but she couldn't complain in front of others about how she was forced to get married just after she came here...
"This matter..."
“You, come here!”
In his previous life, ever since Qu Feng knew that Ran Qingxuan was an orphan, he had always treated her as his own sister. Although they discussed more medical matters together, he felt sorry for this girl who was younger than him but could already stand on her own.
Ever since he entered this strange world, he would occasionally wonder how Ran Qingxuan was doing on Blue Star and whether he was taking good care of himself, but after a long time he faced the reality.
But he never thought that one day he would see a familiar name again in this different world where he had stayed for five years.
I thought the person who came to deliver the letter was highly skilled in martial arts, and that Ran Qingxuan's home in this alien world would not be too bad either. But when we met, I never expected to see him so thin that there was hardly any flesh left, and they were even married.
How could he, as the elder brother, bear this?
Ran Qingxuan originally wanted to explain a few more words, but he didn't expect Gu Yanchen to walk up to him in such a dignified manner and stand firmly in front of Qu Feng.
Qu Feng was furious. He had learned Chinese medicine and had some research on ancient books, so he knew very well about the moral character of ancient people, especially men.
Seeing Ran Qingxuan so thin and wearing patched clothes, I subconsciously thought that she was not doing well and that her husband was treating her harshly...
"Are you Xuan's husband?"
"Yes!" Gu Yanchen answered very straightforwardly, with a hint of pride in his voice.
With the clear voice and the determined eyes, Qu Feng's initial anger was not as strong. He just turned his head away and looked at Ran Qingxuan speechlessly.
"You have a good eye, but you're a little too sentimental. How long have you been digging wild vegetables?"
Gu Yanchen didn't understand what he meant, but instinctively thought that Qu Feng was saying that Ran Qingxuan was so thin because he was digging wild vegetables to eat...
"I didn't ask Qingxuan to dig wild vegetables to eat. I don't know what Mr. Qu meant by that."
Ran Qingxuan came back to his senses from the excitement of seeing his relatives at the beginning, and hit Qu Feng in an angry manner.
"What are you thinking? Am I the kind of person who is willing to dig wild vegetables?"
"Then you..."
Qu Feng hesitated to speak and pointed at the two men's clothes that were full of patches.
"Didn't you marry him because he's handsome? Why did you marry him when he didn't even have money to buy you new clothes?"
Gu Yanchen wanted to make some excuses, after all, all the money in the family was managed by Ran Qingxuan...
As he spoke, Qu Feng suddenly became extremely angry.
"Did your family force you to marry him? In exchange for money?"
"Well...it's a long story. I'll tell you slowly when I get a chance..."
Gu Yanchen narrowed his eyes slightly, but then relaxed a lot.
I'm afraid only family members would be so worried about whether Ran Qingxuan is living a good life.
