The border guard general came to a remote village alone to save people. Such an excuse was very unreliable. Unfortunately, the person opposite was a little girl who had rarely left the village. She was only afraid and wary of strangers without thinking too much.
Not to mention that ever since the accident, Grandpa has been whispering in little Ling Ling's ear, 'The court will definitely send people to rescue them when it finds out, because they are citizens of the Great Jin Dynasty.' This was used to encourage Ling Ling to persevere. It was like a seed planted in Ling Ling's heart, and now that seed seems to have sprouted.
She secretly glanced at the person in front of her. It turned out that the official looked like this. He was as handsome as the immortal who saved people from suffering that her grandfather had talked about.
However, her habitual vigilance still prevented her from letting down her guard so easily. She mustered up the courage to ask, "I can't tell if you're here to rescue us... How can you prove your identity?"
After saying this, she nervously tugged at the tattered clothes at her hand, her eyes wandering to the ground, not daring to look up.
Fu Yin was silent for a moment. He thought this little girl was stupid and didn't want to talk to her.
But if Chen Huaixu were here, he would definitely not sit idly by.
His expression was cold, and he reluctantly took out the badge that proved his identity. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "This is my badge - do you understand it?"
Ling Ling didn't understand, but she wanted to save face.
Her face flushed as she stepped forward to take the badge. The weight in her hand surprised her. She quickly returned to her original position, pretending to be very skilled, looking back and forth at the badge in her hand, and from time to time she looked up at the person in front of her with a wary look on her face.
After looking at it for a long time, she could only tell that the badge was very delicate and valuable. Apart from that, she couldn't even recognize the words on it, not to mention that the aroma of the food made it impossible for her to concentrate. In the end, she had to return the badge with a depressed mood.
She didn't know if it was because her increasingly frail grandfather constantly stirred up the anxiety in her heart, and she needed something to believe in, or if it was because the desperate situation before her was a glimmer of hope. After looking at the badge, she inexplicably believed the identity of the person in front of her.
Without saying anything, she knelt on the ground and said, "General, can you, can you save my grandfather?"
She choked with sobs, tears welling up in her good eye. "Grandpa was still able to talk to me a few days ago, but these past few days he's been sleeping longer than he's been awake. I know—he's dying, isn't he? Please, save my grandpa—"
Fu Yin doesn't know how to cure illnesses, not to mention that the old man in the dilapidated house is in critical condition. All his organs have failed and he only has one breath left. Even if a great immortal came, he would not be able to save him.
He shook his head slightly and said reasonably: "I am a general. I am good at fighting, not treating illnesses."
Ling Ling's crying stopped, and she looked at the person in front of her with tearful eyes - she forgot that this person was a general, not an immortal.
After clearly realizing this fact, she cried even louder, as if she wanted to take this opportunity to vent all her grievances and sadness.
Fu Yin only felt that her crying was noisy, and it made the veins on his forehead throb. He picked up a piece of cake and stuffed it into Ling Ling's mouth. "Go feed your grandfather something and see if the situation will get better."
In order not to hurt the child's feelings, he reluctantly added, "Eat some yourself too."
He used his mental power to check the old man's physical condition again, frowning and thinking, if Shen Huaixu was here, could he save this person? Should he go into the space and ask?
He raised his hand and touched the place where the note was placed. Since Chen Huaixu wanted to see him, and the two of them also needed to fill their stomachs, he would take the time to go and see him once, just once.
After making up his mind, Fu Yin glanced at the two people in the room and knocked on the door. When Ling Ling turned around and looked at him, he said, "I have to leave for something. I'll be back in a moment."
Ling Ling was stunned for a moment, then continued to feed her grandfather the biscuits he had softened in water. Her father, mother, brother, and sister were all gone, and loss had become a common occurrence in her life.
She didn't think it would matter even if the general left and never came back, because at least he left food for the two of them to eat.
It's already very good.
Shen Huaixu was chatting with his sister-in-law when he suddenly felt his nose itchy and then sneezed.
She wrinkled her nose and muttered, "Is there anyone who is nagging me?"
Zheng Li Niang held Jiang Xiaoyu in her arms, brushing the dust off him. The child had grown up and would roll around on the ground if she wasn't watching him for a while. She smiled and said, "Is Sanlang thinking about you? He complained a lot the last time he came back, about the unruly tenant farmers and the inconvenience of plowing... He just didn't dare to say it in front of you. He was full of complaints in front of us, but he seems to have grown up a lot. Every time he talks about this, I feel very relieved!"
"It's still very early. We'll have to wait and see. Farming is not an easy job. Third brother still needs to work hard." Shen Huaixu smiled like a cat that had stolen some fish.
As she was talking, Shen Huaixu vaguely heard Fu Yin calling her. She restrained her smile and said to her sister-in-law, "It's almost time. I'll go see if my two sisters have returned. I also have to check Afu's homework."
Zheng Li Niang was helpless. This child was so young but acted like an old man. She shook Jiang Xiaoyu's hand and waved, signaling her to leave quickly.
After saying goodbye to Zheng Li Niang and walking out of the house, Shen Huaixu did not immediately go to the room where Jiang Wei and Jiang Fu lived. Instead, he turned around and found a secluded place and sat on the swing next to a small bamboo forest.
What are you doing these days? Can you tell me?
Fu Yin pursed his lips and said, "I'll tell you, but not now."
Shen Huaixu remembered that she had concealed the fact that Chaohua liked Fuyin, and now she also experienced what it felt like - it was a bit unpleasant.
She shook her head and put the matter behind her. "It's up to you. I heard from my father that His Majesty is interested in training you and wants you to be the top commander of the garrison in Nanxia."
"I know. I suggested it." Fu Yin admitted frankly, "You also know that one of Qiao Man and I must die. She's been jumping around for long enough. We can't just keep passively counterattacking. Active attack is the best solution."
Shen Huaixu knew everything about the relationship between the two of them very well. He was not worried about anything else, but what he was most worried about was Fu Yin's mental collapse.
But now is not the time to talk about this, Shen Huaixu asked: [Why did you think of looking for me? What's the matter? ]
Fu Yin took a deep breath and asked, "Have you seen this thing?"
Noticing the gem in Fu Yin's palm, Chen Huaixu immediately stopped swinging. [Where is this from?]
"It was dug out from a village called Anhe in the northwest."
Shen Huaixu opened his mouth slightly in surprise, [You went mining?]
"No, I met a few people here."
Fu Yin briefly explained Grandpa Ling Ling's condition, and finally asked, "Can this old man be saved?"
Fu Yin's words surprised Shen Huaixu. While taking in the overwhelming amount of information, he replied, "Multiple organ failure is difficult to treat. In his case, even if he drinks the green potion, it can only temporarily delay his death. He won't last much longer."
It was an expected answer, and Fu Yin accepted it calmly, "Okay, I understand."
