Chapter 7: Wenquxing Immortal
After Su Yuan thought about her future path, she let out a long sigh. With a goal in mind, she felt full of motivation.
At this time, Nan Chu had also finished washing the dishes, and came over with a paper bag wrapped in oil paper and a bulging water bag in his hand:
"My wife, this is the rice ball I made this morning with pickled vegetables in it. You can eat it when you are hungry in the mountains. I also filled the water bag with boiled water. You can drink it when you are thirsty on the road."
Su Yuan stared at the thing handed to her, her eyes full of surprise. Because of the food in the space, she had habitually ignored this problem.
Unexpectedly, Nan Chu was very thoughtful and prepared everything for her silently. Thinking of this, Su Yuan raised the corners of his lips and joked:
"Thank you, my dear husband. If you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten about this problem. Without food, I would have been hungry for the whole day."
After saying that, Su Yuan looked at Nan Chu with gratitude in his eyes. He stared at Nan Chu until his cheeks became slightly hot and he turned red before he looked away.
Nan Chu was already shy when he heard Su Yuan's frivolous jokes. When she stared at him like that, he felt so embarrassed that he wanted to find a hole to hide in. His face was burning. He stammered:
"No, it's not hard, my wife, this is what I should do."
After saying that, he stuffed all the things into Su Yuan's hands, then turned around and hid back in the kitchen.
Su Yuan looked at Nan Chu's back and smiled slightly.
Not to mention, it’s fun to have a pure and innocent little husband and play with him every day.
"Ahem, ahem, Yuanyuan, why are you going up the mountain?"
Father Su coughed twice and asked in confusion.
He had wanted to say something just now, but seeing his daughter flirting with her husband, he knew better than to interrupt, but waited until the person ran away before speaking.
Su Yuan pursed his lips and sighed:
"Yesterday, Doctor You from Huichuntang said that your illness requires 100-year-old ginseng. Today, I want to go up the mountain and try my luck to see if I can find it."
Father Su stayed in bed all day yesterday, so he didn't know what Su Yuan was planning, nor did he know that his illness was so serious that he needed hundred-year-old ginseng.
After hearing Su Yuan's words, Father Su frowned slightly, looking a little uneasy. He leaned over and grabbed Su Yuan's hand and said:
"Yuanyuan, let's not go. Daddy doesn't want to treat this disease anymore. I can't sacrifice you for my old bones."
"The mountains behind are so dangerous. I don't know how many people lose their lives there every year. I won't let you go."
Su Yuan had expected this result. She frowned, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes, and said solemnly to Father Su:
"Dad, I didn't make this decision rashly. I knew I would find ginseng today. Look what this is?"
Su Yuan presented the object in his hand to his father, moved closer to him, and continued in a mysterious and low voice:
"Today, my daughter woke up with this thing in her hand. As soon as she opened her eyes, she felt her vision clear and her mind sharp. Do you know why?"
"Why?" Father Su was also infected by the atmosphere created by Su Yuan and asked in a low voice.
Su Yuan did not give a direct answer, but asked angrily:
"Based on Daddy's experience and perspective, do you think this is something from the mortal world?"
When Su's father was reminded by his daughter, his eyes widened and he took a breath.
He looked at the object in Su Yuan's hand for a long time without saying anything. After waiting for a long time, he spoke in doubt:
"This, this does not look like an ordinary thing. Daddy has never seen it before."
"It has a strange appearance, but the inside is crystal clear, and it glows. It is simply a magical object described by the storyteller in the teahouse."
“That’s right.”
Su Yuan heard that he had finally come to the point, and clapped his hands excitedly. Then he looked around and made sure that no one was around, then said:
"This is what the immortal Wenquxing, who I saw in my dream yesterday, gave to my daughter. The immortal said that she is a pillar of talent, but it is a pity that she is buried in the countryside."
"When I heard this, I was so upset that my daughter had such a fate. I felt unwilling to accept it. In addition, I was also worried about my father's illness in my dream, so I knelt down and begged the immortal to give me medicine and ask for guidance."
"After hearing this, the immortal shook his head and sighed, then waved his hand and a beam of white light entered my daughter's brain. He told me that because of my filial piety, there will be a lucky beast to lead the way to the back mountain tomorrow, and he will give me two hundred-year-old ginsengs."
"Finally, I gave my daughter the keepsake, fearing that I would not go when I woke up the next morning and would think it was a dream. This morning, my daughter saw the magical item in her hand, and she also felt that her brain was working much better. Now if I were to recite something, I think she would be able to remember it by heart."
After Su Yuan finished speaking, he nodded to himself with a confident look, and gave Su's father a look, letting him figure it out for himself.
Father Su is now so frightened that he is about to faint.
Oh my God, Yuanyuan actually has such a fate that even the immortal Wenquxing came to help her in her dreams.
He didn't make a mistake and married the right person.
Most farmers have difficulty even getting enough food, so how can they have spare money to send their children to school? Su's father is raising his daughter alone, and he doesn't even have brothers-in-law, all because his wife is a son-in-law.
Su Yuan's father was named Ruan Yu'an. He was the only son of a wealthy family in Qinghe Town. When he was old enough to get married, his parents chose Su Yuan's mother, the poor scholar Su Li.
After Ruan Yu'an knew about it, he hid in the dark and peeked at Su Li. Seeing her elegant appearance and bookish air, he fell in love with her at first sight and nodded in agreement.
Later, Su Li married into the family and they got married and gave birth to Su Yuan. When Su Yuan was one year old, Su Li died of illness, leaving behind an orphan girl and a widowed father in the world.
As the saying goes, misfortunes never come singly. Two years later, the Ruan family's business also ran into problems. The family gradually fell into decline, and Ruan's mother and father left one after another. Finally, Su's father took his daughter and moved from the town to the countryside.
However, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. He used the private money he had saved over the years to buy a thatched house and two acres of land, and lived in Lihua Village for thirteen years.
After recalling the past, Su's father burst into tears of regret.
When Su Yuan was young, he sent his daughter to a private school. Unexpectedly, within two months, Su Yuan started crying and wanted to go home.
The private school teacher also said that Yuanyuan was naughty and disturbed other students' studies, and scolded her. Now it seems that it is not necessarily Yuanyuan's fault.
It's all his fault. He didn't think about it more deeply at the time and wasted his daughter's best time.
He let the future pillar of the country, a natural talent for studying, wasted more than ten years and even had to rely on immortals to remind him. He is a real failure as a father.
Su Yuan saw that his father's mood was changeable, sometimes happy and excited, sometimes regretful and annoyed, and he didn't understand what was wrong with him, so he tried to test him:
"Dad, what's wrong with you? Isn't it a good thing for your daughter to be blessed by the immortal? Why are you crying?"
Upon hearing this, Father Su quickly wiped away his tears and said while sobbing:
"Yes, yes, it's a great thing, you can't cry, Daddy won't cry."
"When Daddy thought about how Yuanyuan had been delayed for so many years and buried in this rural area, he couldn't help but blame himself. If only Daddy had insisted back then."
