Chapter 112 The Real Adventure
Liang Weijiang was forced to take a lot of strange medicines, but there was no improvement at all.
As a bystander, Liang Huanxue naturally felt distressed.
However, she still resisted the urge to attack.
Five days later, a man came to the Liang family's door with a letter saying that Liu Chunhua had gone to the Zhang family's house to cause trouble, which frightened the old lady of the Zhang family. The old lady fell ill and the doctor was helpless, so Mr. Zhang invited a wizard.
The wizard said that if he wanted the old lady to live, he had to exchange his life for hers.
Mr. Zhang originally wanted to exchange Liu Chunhua's life for his. However, Liu Chunhua said that her son was already paralyzed and would not live for long anyway, so he used his life to exchange for his.
So the Zhang family came here to take Liang Weijiang away.
"Since you also know that Brother Weijiang is already paralyzed, aren't you afraid that this life-for-life method will also paralyze your old lady?"
Just when the Liang family was filled with righteous indignation and was cursing Liu Chunhua to the Zhang family, a crisp voice suddenly interrupted.
Everyone's eyes fell on Liang Huanxue at the same time.
"Yes, if you say you want to exchange a life for another's, of course you have to find someone with a healthy body. Wei Jiang can't move any part of his body except his head. Do you want your old lady to become like that?" Old Mrs. Liang immediately understood what Liang Huanxue meant and immediately agreed.
Upon hearing this, the Zhang family looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.
After a while, one of them said, "We are only here to take the person away according to the master's instructions. As for what you said, the master will make the judgment."
Then several people squeezed into the yard.
"I won't let you take my brother away." Liang Jiaxing stepped forward and stopped a few people.
But how could his small body be a match for those strong and sturdy guards?
Naturally, it was easily thrown aside.
"Mom, what should I do?" Liang Huanxue originally wanted to confront her head-on.
But after all, they are facing the Zhang family. Even if they can save Liang Weijiang now, if they anger Mr. Zhang, they will probably be in trouble.
So he could only let Mrs. Liang make the decision.
"If there really were such powerful wizards in this world, wouldn't the world have been in chaos long ago?" Old Mrs. Liang did not believe that there were such powerful wizards in this world.
And exchange life for life.
If there really is such evil magic, would it be Mr. Zhang's turn to use it?
Didn’t the royal family in Xiandu use it a long time ago?
"Mom, what you mean is that the wizard doesn't have such ability, so Weijiang will be fine?" Liang Huanxue also felt that the idea of exchanging life for life was too weird.
"It would be better to let the Zhang family take Weijiang to the county town. We can then take him around to see doctors." Old Lady Liang had thought of taking Liang Weijiang to the county town before.
But the ox cart was bumpy and there was no way to block it, and she was worried that Liang Weijiang couldn't bear it.
The Zhang family came in a horse-drawn carriage, which is much more comfortable than riding in an ox-drawn cart.
"Then my third brother, my eldest brother and I will follow behind?" Liang Huanxue asked.
"Take Huanxue with you." Old Mrs. Liang pondered for a while and then said.
Not to mention that Huanxue is smart enough and can help them if they encounter any danger.
Even if Huanxue has no ability at all, the blessings she brings are enough to protect them.
Liang Huanxue hesitated for a moment and glanced at Shen Yuefu.
Shen Yuefu nodded and said, "Just take Huanxue with you. She is much more reliable than you two."
After going through so many things, she also vaguely realized that Huanxue was different.
Although she didn't want Huanxue to take risks, perhaps the real adventure would be without Huanxue.
The Zhang family had no idea what was going on inside, and it took them a long time to carry Liang Weijiang out.
They seemed to have discovered that Liang Weijiang really had a brain that could be moved, and they all looked very unhappy.
Liang Weijiang's face showed no sadness or joy. He didn't seem afraid at all about being taken to Zhang's family to exchange his life for another's.
"If my life can save one person, it will be useful." He said to the Liang family when he was carried out of the yard.
In his view, his life no longer had any meaning.
But his current situation makes it difficult for him to even seek death.
It's worth it as it can stop him from suffering and save a life at the same time.
The Zhang family put Liang Weijiang on the carriage and drove away in a cloud of dust.
After the carriage disappeared from sight, the Liang family members got on the ox cart and set off.
"Wait, take this." Liang Jiajiang said as he took out a big umbrella.
"You are really amazing. You have this ability!" Liang Huanxue praised sincerely.
Liang Jiajiang's face flushed, "Uncle, this is very simple, it doesn't take much effort!"
Not far away, Liang Yuanwen was looking at the big umbrella on the ox cart, looking thoughtful.
In the past, he always thought that his son had no ability, but now it seems that this is also a kind of ability, isn't it?
The ox cart stopped to rest several times along the way, and by the time it reached the county town, it was almost noon.
I originally wanted to find a place to buy something to eat, but the doors in the county town were closed and I couldn't even see any smoke coming out of a kitchen.
In desperation, the Liang family had to go to the rice wine shop.
Qian Cong was chewing on a cake that he didn't know how many days old. When he saw the Liang family coming, he quickly took out some rice and planned to cook porridge for them.
"Don't bother. We actually brought some food with us." Liang Huanxue took out a few rice cakes from somewhere and gave one to each of her father and two uncles. She also gave them the water bags.
A piece of rice cake is certainly not enough to fill your stomach, but it is better than eating nothing.
"Everyone who can leave has left this county, and the remaining days are difficult. Fortunately, no one knows about my situation here, otherwise, the water and food would have been snatched away long ago." Qian Cong said thankfully.
"It seems that life in this county town is not easy. If you really can't make it here, come to the village and find us," said Liang Yuanliang.
Qian Cong was very touched. "Okay, if I really run into any trouble, I will definitely come to you. So, what are you doing in the county? You can't buy anything here unless you can give me a lot of money."
Liang Huanxue told him the whole story.
"Wizard? Is there anyone who still believes in this?" Qian Cong was very puzzled.
"After all, she is your own mother. How can you just watch her die? Even if you know it's fake, you will still want to give it a try." Liang Huanxue revealed the mystery in one sentence.
People are like this, even if they know it is impossible, as long as there is a little hope in front of them, they will risk their lives and try their best.
What's more, the wizard's method of exchanging life for life does not require sacrificing one's own life, but only requires the life of an unrelated person.
The Liang family did not stay in the rice wine shop for long. After resting enough, they went to Zhang's house.
As soon as I reached the door, I heard Liu Chunhua's shrill cry.
