C50 Poor Man

"Old man, Xiaoni …"

"Grandmother …"

Xie Xiaoni ran up and pulled the old woman back. "Grandmother, is everything alright at home?"

The old woman looked at Xie Xiaoni carefully. "Yes, yes." Fortunately, you didn't encounter any danger this time, right? "Hmph …" "Your grandfather was the same as well. You haven't even entered the forest, and he even brought you there. Old man Xie, come over here for me …"

Xie Laoshuan's expression turned bitter as he walked up to her and said, "Old partner, there are still customers here. We can talk later if you have anything to say."

Sikong Banyu was noticed by the old woman when she heard this. She immediately smiled and said, "So it's Xiaoni's classmate. Xiaoni, why did you give her the basket? Hurry and get it."

"Oh, oh …"

Sikong Banyu handed the basket over to Xiaoni and said, "Put the basket down in your mother's room. It'll be usable later."

"Oh, oh …"

The old woman greeted him warmly, "Little brother, quick..." Come in and sit down! Coming here is like coming to your own home.

"Alright …"

Inside the house, a dim yellow incandescent light hung on the house beams. The house seemed a little crowded. There were old cabinets, wooden stairs, a polished table with eight fairies, and a cupboard with several missing corners.

"Sir, please take a seat. There is nothing to entertain at home. Please forgive me." Xie Laoshuan came out with an old-fashioned teapot, turned over the best quilt on the table and poured himself a cup of tea.

"Milord …" When the old lady heard Xie Laoshuan's title, she couldn't help but be stunned. She looked at Xie Laoshuan in surprise.

Xie Laoshuan quickly said, "Old partner, this is not Xiaoni's guest, but the adult that came to see Xiaoxin. Hurry... Get some food for the lord, as well as some of the dried dates that Fourth Aunt sent over last time. "

"Huh?" The old lady looked at Sikong Banyu in shock. This... Isn't he way too young! Was it reliable?

"What are you standing there in a daze for? Hurry up and go!"

Sikong Banyu picked up his tea and said with a smile, "Don't bother, take me to see your daughter-in-law!"

Xie Laoshuan said, "How can that work? It's our honor for the Lord to be able to come to my house. Take a rest first, have a cup of tea, and eat something. Old partner, quickly go! "

"Oh, oh …"

Looking at the old woman who was rushing out, Sikong Banyu shook his head with a bitter smile.

After a while, the table was filled with peanuts, melon seeds, dates, etc.

"Old people, the reform and opening up of this place has already started, you guys …" After a while, Sikong Banyu pointed at the shabby house and asked. Although his memories were limited and he rarely went outside of the capital, he had been through a lot. With his current development, he shouldn't be so poor.

Hearing that, the old woman sighed, "My lord does not know!" Originally, his family was fine, but his son was at the village entrance preparing to build a new house. This ancestral house had been here for a long time. But our fate is not good! His son was suddenly arrested for committing a crime and Xiaoxin fell ill. His family also fell.

"Did you commit a crime?" Sikong Banyu frowned. Although she had just entered the Xie Family not long ago, he could tell that the old lady was a reliable rural person and Xie Laoshuan was not a opportunistic person. A child who was educated would presumably not do anything bad! Besides, they all have families. Isn't that a bit unreasonable?

The old woman nodded. "Thirdie has always been a man of his word. How did he end up in trouble?" But the court convicted him of stealing the company's trade secrets and sentenced him to five years in prison. It was really … Sigh! How could San-er be so foolish? Why are you stealing things? "

Xie Laoshuan snorted: "Then only you believe, what did San'er do? You are just a captain of a security squad. For a leader of a security squad to be able to steal some secret, do you really think that I am old and do not know anything other than that I have never seen the world? "

"Oh?" Sikong Banyu remained silent. Security? Trade secrets? These were the two sides of the coin! However, he couldn't say anything about the other party's family matters.

He slowly stood up and put down the teacup in his hand. "It's about time. Bring me to see your daughter-in-law!"

Xie Laoshuan immediately stood up: "Sir, this way please."

"Mm …"

Sikong Banyu turned around and said to the old lady, "Go and prepare a pot of hot water and a jar of..." En … A bottle of wine, bring it to the room and we'll be able to use it later. "

"Good, good, good …" "Right away."

Xie Laoshuan led Sikong Banyu into a small, dark room. There was only a single lamp in the room, which did not seem to fit the furnishings in the room. It must have been Xie Xiaoni who had brought this lamp!

As soon as he walked in, Sikong Banyu smelled a fishy stench, the smell produced by his skin festering and leaking pus.

On the bed in the room lay a pale-faced woman. Her facial features were already beginning to distort, her mouth was crooked to her chin, and her eyes were rolling up and down. She looked extremely strange, and her eyes were filled with pain.

Sikong Banyu walked over and was about to turn over the quilt when he was stopped by Xie Laoshuan.

"Lord, Xiaoxin's entire body is covered in sores, I'm afraid it will dirty your eyes."

Sikong Banyu shook his head. "It's alright …"

As he said that, he pulled open a corner of the blanket, revealing a woman's hand. It could no longer be called a hand. The areas that entered his sight were all densely covered in purple sores. It was extremely terrifying, and some places were already starting to have pus.

"Phew …" Fortunately, it's not completely festering yet. "

Although the 'Seven Transformations' was an innate disease, in terms of Vermillion Bird Continent, it was not a difficult disease. This was because there were a few major acupoints in the Innate Realm that had been sealed, so as long as one used inner breathing to open the sealed acupoints, and then used medicinal ingredients to clear the sores on one's body and correct the facial bones, one would be able to fully recover.

However, if they were to use Seven-flower Leaf s for treatment, they could only use the medicinal power to temporarily maintain the flow of the big acupuncture points, to make up for the coordination in their body, and would not be able to sustain it for long.

"Bring the basket over. Right, do you have any medicinal ingredients at home?" Sikong Banyu asked.

"Yes, yes, yes …" Xie Laoshuan took the basket from the side and put it in front of Sikong Banyu, then he rushed out of the room.

Sikong Banyu put the Seven-flower Leaf aside and then poured out what was inside. It seemed like Xie Laoshuan knew quite a lot about medicinal herbs, so there were some useful ones inside. Sikong Banyu chose the herbs he needed one by one and set them aside. These were all used to remove the sores.

After a while, Xie Laoshuan walked in with a sack, "These are some herbs that this old man prepared when he was free. Master wants to see if he can use them, if not, we'll go buy them in the city."
