Chapter 356 Planting Medicinal Herbs
The tree-lined path is secluded and long, with light and shadow interplay.
This is a remote road leading to Ming'an County.
A mother and son, tired from their journey, got out of the car and lay down on the roadside to rest.
"Mother, we are the second master of the Holy Healer Sect, it's too cruel to be sneaking around like this." The young man's delicate hands were cut by the reins.
I'm so tired I can't even get up.
"Second master my ass! Second servant is more like me! When has that old woman Ouyang Bingyan ever regarded me as her master? The entire Holy Medicine Sect is her dog eyes!"
Even if you don't do anything secretly, she'll know everything you do!
"Well, who told you to be so useless, Mother? You're both my master's disciple, how come you're doing so poorly?"
The woman exploded upon hearing this, slapping her son's head repeatedly.
"Useless, useless... I'm utterly useless! It's all because of you, you piece of trash, that I'm dragged down!"
"Your Majesty, stop hitting! Stop hitting! Listen, there seems to be a sound!"
Jin Diandian then stopped.
The mother and daughter stared wide-eyed, craning their necks like two swallows, for a long time before they finally saw a few ordinary-looking people approaching.
"What do you two do? Are you from the Holy Healer Sect?"
Those people surrounded them.
The mother and son quickly waved their hands: "No, no, no, we heard that there is medicine in Ming'an County, so we came to buy it."
Those people scoffed.
"I knew it wasn't him; I've never seen him before at the Holy Physician Sect."
"Oh? You're also from the Holy Healer Sect?"
also?
Those people gave a mocking smile.
Mother and son: Oh no, we let it slip!
The burlap sack was then placed over their heads.
"Waaaaah..."
...
Lu Qingqing never expected that the first two people to arrive in Ming'an County would be two unreliable individuals.
She crouched down, looking at the two people wriggling on the ground.
They don't look like members of the Holy Doctor Sect at all.
"You, you, you, who is Shan Yueming to you?" Jin Diandian stared at Lu Qingqing's face, her eyes widening in shock.
Lu Qingqing said, "It's my mother."
"Your mother? Damn it, they've had children for ages! You look about the same age as my son!" Jin Diandian burst into tears.
"Faithless man! Faithless man!"
"Um... my name is Jin Duoduo," the young man said with a fawning smile.
"You're nineteen this year, so you must be the younger sister, right? Hey, I'm your half-brother!"
Lu Qingqing stood up: "Kill him."
Mo Lang picked up one of Jin Duoduo's legs and tried to drag him out.
"Oh no, no, Mother, please save me!"
Before Jin Diandian could even speak, one of her legs was pulled up.
The mother and child were dragged out, screaming.
"Third Senior Sister, Third Senior Sister, Second Senior Brother, I won't look for you anymore, I won't bother you anymore, please spare my mother and me, I promise I'll never look for you again..."
Waaaaah... Duo Duo is your own son!
"Father, Father, you can't do this! Mother and I have waited for you for ten years. You've gotten together with Third Aunt, but you don't need to kill us. Isn't it nice to enjoy the bliss of having two wives?"
Lu Qingqing: "..."
The former master of the Holy Physician Sect had four disciples.
Eldest disciple Ouyang Bingyan.
The second apprentice was the only male, Yan Qiubai.
The third disciple, Shan Yueming.
The fourth apprentice, Jin Diandian.
Judging from this, the person crying in front of me must be Jin Diandian.
Why is it so discolored?
Why……
In the end, both of them were crying so hard they couldn't catch their breath.
With his arms tied, he flailed around, drawing circles on the ground.
There's absolutely no trace of disguise.
This is just my true nature.
Mo Lang had already sheathed his sword and stood with his arms crossed, watching the two of them spin around with a complicated expression.
Like two rats on an oily field, unable to stand up or run away.
Lu Qingqing squatted down in front of the two of them again.
“My mother is Shan Yueming, and my father is Lu Xingwang.”
"Waaaaah... Gah?" A loud burp stopped the crying.
I felt a tightness in my chest, and it almost killed me with pain.
Jin Diandian: "Who is Lu Xingwang? Yan Qiubai changed his name?"
Lu Qingqing: "Let's just say... if you have a brain, shouldn't you use it?"
Jin Duoduo: "What are you saying? You haven't moved much?"
Mo Lang: Are those two carrying turds on their necks?
How did the Holy Physician Sect raise these two?
Thinking about it this way, Ouyang Bingyan is actually quite kind.
Lu Qingqing thought to herself: Ouyang Bingyan would never raise two truly stupid people; these two must have other outstanding qualities.
"Oh dear, it's all a misunderstanding, Mo Lang, please untie me."
Jin Diandian and Jin Duoduo were invited into the house safely.
It didn't take much effort for Lu Qingqing to find out the whole story.
Back then, before his death, the leader of the Holy Physician Sect intended to pass on the position to Shan Yueming, who possessed the highest medical skills.
However, Ouyang Bingyan seized power, and Shan Yueming was forced to leave the Holy Physician Sect.
There has been no further news since then.
The old sect leader had arranged a marriage between Yan Qiubai and Shan Yueming, so Yan Qiubai was willing to break with the Holy Physician Sect and go out to find her.
About two years later, Yan Qiubai returned, looking extremely dejected.
Jin Diandian has admired him since childhood, so she has always stayed by his side to take care of him.
Naturally, the two ended up together.
After a long time, when their son was nine years old, Yan Qiubai suddenly left the valley again.
He never came back after that.
Her senior sister gave her a letter left by Yan Qiubai.
He said he still can't forget Shan Yueming. He has been with Jin Diandian for several years, and for the rest of his life, he wants to live according to his own wishes.
After Jin Diandian finished speaking, she asked doubtfully, "Your father, is he really not Yan Qiubai?"
“My dad is much better than Yan Qiubai!” Lu Qingqing said irritably.
"My second senior brother is handsome and refined, and his medical skills are superb. Your father is definitely no match for him!"
"Just look at what my son looks like!"
Jin Duoduo gave Lu Qingqing another ingratiating smile.
To be honest, Jin Duoduo is indeed quite good-looking, as clean and elegant as a little white rabbit.
However, she had seen the truly exceptional before and was no longer interested in this kind of person.
Therefore, the time when Lu Qingqing's mother disappeared coincided with the time when Yan Qiubai left.
But the two of them could not elope.
Her mother's feelings for her father were all written in her diary!
"Are you sure that the letter Yan Qiubai left behind was really written by him?"
Jin Diandian looked bewildered.
Jin Duoduo frowned.
Just when Lu Qingqing thought he still had some sense, he asked:
"If it wasn't written by my dad, then who else could it be?"
Lu Qingqing: "..."
"May I ask, what do you do at the Holy Healer's Sect?"
"We grow medicinal herbs! My daughter and I are really good at growing them! We can grow herbs that others can't, and we can even grow herbs from the south!"
"Without us, the Holy Healer Sect would be finished!"
The two of them looked quite proud.
"..."
