Gu Nianqing looked at the middle-aged man and asked curiously. He had seen too many couples abandon each other when disaster struck, and many couples turned against each other for some benefit. On the contrary, such sincere feelings were very rare.
When the middle-aged man heard Gu Nianqing's question, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then said with a happy face, "My wife and I grew up together and have a very deep relationship. Although we have no children, we are very happy and have supported each other all the way to this day."
“I had already made plans that if my wife passed away, I would go with her. Now things have taken a turn for the better. Since there is still hope for my wife to recover, it’s just two courtyard houses. How could I not want to give them up?”
"Fine! Considering your deep friendship, I'll take the loss!"
Seeing this, Gu Nianqing nodded and then said.
"Thank you, thank you so much. From now on, your family will be our benefactors."
After hearing Gu Nianqing's words, the middle-aged Red Army soldier said excitedly.
Gu Nianqing pondered for a moment, then said, "I need some time to prepare the antidote. I'll come back when I've finished."
"How long will that take? Can my wife hold on?"
Upon hearing Gu Nianqing say that it would take some time, the middle-aged man couldn't help but ask.
Gu Nianqing said, "It won't be long, probably three days. Don't worry! Your wife can hold on for another week."
When the middle-aged man heard Gu Nianqing say that his wife only had a week left, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.
Then a sense of relief washed over them; thankfully they had met Comrade Lin, otherwise…
The middle-aged man dared not think any further. He couldn't help but repeatedly thank Lin Qing and Gu Nianqing, saying, "Thank you, thank you so much..."
"Alright, in that case, we'll head back now. Don't worry, we'll come right away once the antidote is ready."
Lin Qing looked at the middle-aged man's grateful face and said with a smile.
Lin Qing and his family of three left the Red Army's house and drove back to their own home.
When she got off the car, Gu Nianqing took out her luggage from her storage space.
"Mom, Yichen, Shulan, Zichen, Ziyao, look, who's back?"
As soon as Lin Qing led Gu Nianqing to the backyard, she shouted loudly to the people playing in the garden.
"Big brother..."
"Big brother, you're back..."
"Big brother..."
…………
Several children were playing when they heard Lin Qing's voice and looked up.
He spotted Gu Nianqing next to Lin Qing at a glance, so he immediately threw down the toy in his hand, shouted "Big Brother!" and ran towards Gu Nianqing.
Even the usually composed Gu Shulan couldn't help but show a look of surprise on her face, and ran over with everyone.
Gu Nianqing hugged each of her younger siblings one by one, and finally picked up Gu Shulan with a happy expression, patting him on the shoulder.
"Shulan has grown taller!"
When Gu Shulan saw his older brother pick him up, he couldn't help but blush. He twisted his body in his brother's arms, but still did not refuse.
"Big brother, I want a hug too!"
"Big brother is biased, he only hugs third brother!"
…………
Seeing Gu Nianqing pick up Gu Shulan, Gu Ziyao and Gu Zichen immediately expressed their dissatisfaction.
Gu Shulan, who was in Gu Nianqing's arms, blushed even more upon hearing this.
Helpless, Gu Nianqing hugged her younger siblings one by one.
"Nianqing, you're not leaving again this time, are you?"
At this moment, Dong Xiulan also stepped forward and said happily.
"Grandma, I'm not leaving. School starts soon."
Gu Nianqing replied with a smile.
"Yes, it's good that you're not leaving. You should rest well at home. Grandma will cook you something delicious. You've worked so hard these past few months. Why don't you let your master come over for a visit?"
Dong Xiulan continued rambling on.
"Grandma, my master is socially awkward and doesn't like to interact with outsiders."
Gu Nianqing smiled and made excuses for her non-existent master.
Gu Nianqing's return brought great joy to the family. He was surrounded by his family and kept talking to them.
It was just difficult for Gu Nianqing, who still had to find ways to tell some interesting stories about this era.
At noon, Zhao Xi prepared a large table of delicious food to welcome Gu Nian back.
That evening, Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun took Gu Nianqing and several children to the Chen family's house.
Another round of warm greetings and inquiries.
For two consecutive days, Gu Nianqing not only visited his grandparents' house, but also his maternal grandparents' house, and of course, his father Zhao Jinxiang's house.
It wasn't until the third day that Gu Nianqing began refining the antidote pill in her spatial dimension.
"Nianqing, are the medicinal herbs needed for this antidote pill particularly rare?"
Seeing Gu Nianqing preparing medicinal herbs, Lin Qing couldn't help but think of Gu Nianqing saying that she had lost money, so she asked her out of curiosity.
"This medicinal herb isn't particularly valuable to us; we have it growing in our space. But for outsiders, it's priceless."
Gu Nianqing explained with a smile.
Lin Qing nodded knowingly upon hearing this. Yes, although she had many medicinal herbs in her own space, these were things that were not available outside.
The middle-aged man was the wife of a Red Army soldier. It was only because they encountered them that he was able to save her, otherwise, even with great skill, he would not have been able to save her.
Refining elixirs was something Gu Nianqing could do with ease.
With a casual practice, he refined a batch of seventy-two antidote pills. He placed the antidote pills in a jade bottle, and his task was complete.
Is that all?
Lin Qing asked with interest.
"Hmm, that's it, Mom's interested in alchemy."
Gu Nianqing said definitively.
Lin Qing nodded without denying it, "No doctor is uninterested in alchemy."
"After Mother dies peacefully in this life, she can start refining elixirs in the next life."
Gu Nianqing smiled and comforted her.
“We live in the same place, so why can you cultivate while your father and I can’t? Don’t tell me that Earth has no spiritual energy!”
After hearing Gu Nianqing's words, Lin Qing couldn't help but ask.
"Mom, it's true that you and Dad can't cultivate because Earth has no spiritual energy, but the real reason is that you don't have spiritual roots. Earth has no spiritual energy, so it doesn't allow you to have spiritual roots. If you want to cultivate, you can only use rare and precious materials to help you create spiritual roots. But even if you create spiritual roots, you can only cultivate in the space. Moreover, Earth's world consciousness doesn't allow you to achieve too much. At most, you can only cultivate up to the Qi Refining stage, not even the Foundation Establishment stage."
"In that case, you might as well not cultivate at all. After you die of old age, we can cultivate in another world."
"Okay! I was just asking casually. If I don't want to cultivate, I don't want to! I'm just a little curious."
After listening to Gu Nianqing's explanation, Lin Qing couldn't help but shake her head and say with a smile.
