Chapter 218 But I Just Don’t Like It
"You are too polite, Doctor Chu. We should be the ones wishing you a happy new year."
Seeing that Bao'er didn't treat her as an outsider, Chen Chunxing decided not to treat her as an outsider either. She walked in with a smile and grabbed a handful of butter melon seeds from the table.
The elegantly decorated living room was instantly filled with the sound of "clicking".
Seeing this, Xue Yongan waved his hand and called the servant to serve tea.
Then just watch them "click" "click".
"No, you really came here to eat some melon seeds?" Chen Chunxing drank two cups of tea and couldn't hold it in any longer.
She usually uses this trick on others!
Chu Mei laughed and glanced at the man next to her. Ge Daniu understood.
"This is my first time at the Xue Mansion. I don't even know which way the toilet door is. Bao girl, please take me around."
“…”
Ge Baoer was not stupid. She saw that they wanted to talk about serious matters, so she reluctantly let go of her hand that was holding Chen Chunxing's arm and went to accompany her father to find a toilet.
When there were only three people left in the house.
Chu Mei straightened her face and asked hesitantly, "The young lady asked me to teach your sister medicine earlier. During this time, I have spent a lot of time with the children in the school..."
Having said this, she paused and her expression became even more hesitant.
As if he had guessed what was going to be discussed next, Chen Chunxing smiled and asked, "Did Doctor Chu find anything unusual in the children?"
Chu Mei nodded in surprise and asked, "Miss, you already knew that?"
Chen Chunxing did not rush to answer. He took the initiative to pick up the teapot and refill Chu Mei's cup of tea, then slowly talked about another topic.
"Doctor Chu has lived in Liuren City for a long time, so he must have seen many grand occasions."
Chu Mei didn't know what she meant, and murmured, "In a place like that where all the good and the bad are mixed together, there are naturally many things that are not allowed to be seen in the light."
"There's nothing new under the sun, and in fact, things elsewhere may not be much better."
Chen Chunxing put his hands on the table and tapped them casually, his eyes filled with indifference.
After a while.
He laughed loudly and said frankly, "We are all family, so I won't beat around the bush."
"In fact, it's not just those children who are ill, my sister Zhixia is also ill."
"She was kidnapped as a child and forced to work as a medicine boy. She was exposed to all kinds of poisonous herbs and even subjected to various witchcraft techniques to counteract the effects of the drugs."
"Although he managed to escape, he has been left with a permanent illness. If the poisonous insect cannot be removed, he may not live to see his fifteenth birthday."
Chu Mei's face changed when she heard this, and her hands tucked into her sleeves trembled slightly, as if she realized why the other party entrusted the girl to her.
She spoke in a hoarse voice: "When did you know that I was from Xiangxi?"
"Is this important?" Chen Chunxing shook his head. "I can only tell you that there was a grandmother named Jiang in our village. Before she died, she passed the Poison Sutra to my sister."
Chu Mei stood up suddenly, shocked beyond words.
She never expected that she would hear news from her own people here... and that the other party might be a big shot.
The Poison Sutra was something that he had longed for since he was young, but had never had the chance to encounter.
"Why are you telling me this, girl?"
Chen Chunxing also stood up and bowed like a scholar.
"But please, Doctor Chu, have mercy! Those children have been forced to separate from their loved ones since childhood and have suffered terribly. The desire for control by those in power has planted the seeds of evil in their bodies. If this isn't dealt with in time, sooner or later, they will transform into a group of beasts who only know how to kill!"
"By then, justice will have been completely destroyed."
"If we leave it alone, it will bring disaster to the people. But if we want to punish him, how can this child be so innocent?"
Chu Mei had a strange expression on her face, with a hint of pain in her eyes. After a long moment, she let out a long sigh.
"Young lady, do you think this will embarrass me?"
Chen Chunxing sneered, "I've read so many books, so I naturally know a little bit about them. What about the rules of a big family, the oaths... If it weren't for this, with Granny Jiang's ability, how could she have ended up in poverty?"
Chu Mei also laughed.
Of course the dead can break the rules.
However, she can also break the rules for the sake of life.
After the two finished talking, they quickly reached a tacit understanding. The Shen family copied a copy of the Poison Scripture and gave it to Doctor Chu, while Chu Mei would help Shen Zhixia rescue the fifteen disabled children.
That’s right, Zhixia has to do these things herself.
Because only her blood can suppress the poison in his blood.
The little girl struggled to survive under the devil's hands, and developed this most poisonous, yet most nourishing, blood and bones!
When Shen Chunxing first arrived, he had a high fever and almost died. Shen Zhixia ran barefoot to the woods to pick herbs.
But it wasn't the herbs that really saved her.
It was the blood that Shen Zhixia secretly dripped into the medicine soup!
When seeing off the few people from Xue's house, Chu Mei asked Chen Chunxing a strange question before getting on the carriage.
"Miss, do you know why I have been staying in Liuren City?"
Chen Chunxing tentatively replied, "Because of Doctor Chu's abilities, the city lord is unwilling to let you go?"
Chu Mei looked back at her with burning eyes: "I originally thought so too, but just now, a ridiculous idea suddenly came to my mind... Perhaps the City Lord wants to leave me to the young lady."
She fled Xiangxi for love, and later came to Liuren City, where she accidentally helped the city lord, but that little favor was actually nothing.
Over the years, thanks to the geographical advantages and the protection of Liuren City, my husband and children are still living well. Although they are separated, it is better than being devoured by wolves, tigers and leopards.
Chu Mei originally thought that this would be her life, but Miss Shen came and took her away easily.
She actually couldn't understand the city lord's plan, but just now, for some unknown reason, she felt relieved.
It was as if the City Lord had been keeping me here just so that Miss Shen could take me away...
Watching the carriage go away, Chen Chunxing stretched lazily in an unrefined manner, turned around and said to Xue Yongan: "Even so, I just don't like that person. He's too sinister."
Xue Yongan shrugged: "Next time we meet, I'll help you beat him up?"
Shen Chunmei chuckled, jumped over and pulled the boy's face: "Be careful of that old guy, he might try to scam me!"
Xue Yongan gently held her hand and led people outside.
Today, the first day of the Lunar New Year, the streets are the busiest.
His little girl seemed to have been hardened by the various aspects of life, but in fact, she loved the atmosphere of fireworks the most.
The two held hands in public, completely unconcerned about other people's eyes.
Walking, eating, and making people cry at various ring-tossing pot riddle stalls...
When Xue Yongan returned to Xiacunfang, he had a bunch of little gadgets in his arms.
Seeing Shen Mingqiu seeing off the guests, his eyes were dull as if he had been ravaged, and Shen Chunxing threw him a cloth tiger.
The brat looked at the tiger, then looked at the fat orange lying on the stone table, and curled his lips.
"Is this what you were talking about, Pig?"
The caracal passed by, wagging its tail, and looked at the cloth tiger with extreme contempt.
It was round, but that was just right, unlike the big cat at home, which had almost forgotten its identity as a spirit beast...
All living things.
An incredible creature was born in the wilderness, and it accurately found the darling of heaven.
Chen Chunxing suddenly felt that the jade talisman was not just for himself.
As she was thinking, she noticed a skinny girl in front of her.
Zhixia blinked her big eyes and stared at Chen Chunxing longingly.
Now that life is better, everyone in the village has gained weight, except Zhixia from my family, who always looks like a bean sprout.
Chen Chunxing felt distressed, and stuffed all the things he had just gained on the street into Zhixia's pocket.
"ah!"
"Little Fourth, don't you have any? No? Really?"
Chen Mingqiu originally disliked the weird creature, but when he saw Chen Yandong staring at him with a sly look, he immediately hid the thing in his arms and ran away with his back hunched.
I wouldn’t even trade my life for what my elder sister gave me!
