Chapter 220 The Wei Family Stone Archway Makes a Name for Themselves, Uncle Heads to Medicine King V
[Ding! The system has detected that the pills refined by the host saved the lives of villagers. Saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda; this is a good deed. One task will be assigned to settle the debt.]
The cold voice jolted Wenwen awake, causing her to shudder and fully wake up.
Having learned from the previous two experiences, Wenwen accepted it calmly this time.
She was baffled and couldn't figure out the system's encouragement of peace and opportunities, so she acted entirely on her own instincts.
As long as she stays true to her original aspirations, she believes she can achieve something.
In the latter half of last night, everyone except Ye Jingchuan and Ye Dajiu stayed at the foot of the mountain and returned to the Wen family's thatched hut.
The system notification informed us that all the wounded at the foot of the mountain had been rescued, which was a joyous occasion.
As dawn broke, Ye Jingchuan and his uncle returned to the thatched hut.
Not only did the two of them return, but Wang Datie also brought several villagers carrying baskets on their backs.
The villagers didn't go inside; they just stood awkwardly at the door, constantly giving Wang Datie meaningful glances. Helpless, Wang Datie mustered his courage and asked.
"Brother Wen, I'm going to ask you something shamelessly, is your relative the manager of the Shili Stone Workshop?"
Shili Stone Archway!
This is the Wei family's shop.
Uncle Wei and Uncle Wei San exchanged a glance, and Uncle Wei stepped forward.
"I am the manager of Shili Stone Workshop, what brings you here...?"
Uncle Wei's answer brought expectant looks to the eyes of the villagers outside the door.
Wang Datie: "Manager Wei, it's like this, our villagers have dug up some special minerals these past few days. We'd like to ask if your stone workshop accepts them? If so, what's the price?"
After Wang Datie finished asking his question, several villagers looked eagerly at Uncle Wei.
Uncle Wei: "?"
This trip seems to have been well worth it.
The Wei family's stone workshop in the northern desert has not been open for long. Since opening, they have received very few stones. Even though the price is higher than the other three shops, because it is a new shop, many people are not very satisfied with it, and the reputation of the Wei family's stone workshop has not yet been established.
Unexpectedly, he encountered villagers delivering ore to his door here, and Uncle Wei suppressed his joy.
"We'll accept it, but the shop's craftsmen need to inspect it before the price can be confirmed. Don't worry, the Wei family will definitely not treat you unfairly. Please take a look..."
Several villagers whispered among themselves, and after a while, one of them asked, "Manager Wei, should we hand over these ores to you now to take back for inspection, or should we carry them over another day?"
Uncle Wei pondered for a few moments, then said, “How about this, if you all have time, come into the city with us. Our master happens to be in the shop today, so you can settle the bill immediately after the inspection.”
Wen Qilin said to Wang Datie, "Brother Wang, my family is planning to go into town today to buy some tools. Why don't we go into town together?"
Wang Datie refused, "I won't go. The rest of them can go into the city with Manager Wei."
After tidying up, Uncle Ye and Uncle Wei said their goodbyes.
Wen Qilin, along with Wenwen and her siblings, boarded the carriage with everyone else and entered the city.
The Wen family members sat in Uncle Ye's carriage, while several villagers sat in the Wei family's carriage.
After leaving the camp, we soon arrived at the official road, a wide and straight bluestone road that was very smooth.
The carriage quickly arrived at the city gate of Mobei City, and the entry into the city went smoothly.
The city of Mobei was bustling in the early morning, with the cries of breakfast vendors rising and falling.
At the second fork in the main street, the two carriages went their separate ways.
The Wei family's horse-drawn carriage carried villagers carrying baskets on their backs towards Shili Stone Archway.
Uncle Ye then led the Wen family members to the gate of a large courtyard.
After entering the courtyard and walking into the main room, Wen Chengbin couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, how are Grandpa and Grandma's health?"
Uncle Wei: "It's fine, you brat, don't worry."
Wenwen was skeptical. "Uncle, why didn't we see Grandpa Ye and Grandma Ye?"
Wen Chengjian and his brothers: "Yeah, where are they?"
Uncle Wei: "It's too cold here. Your grandfather and the others came over in the spring, which was only a few months ago."
Ye Jingchuan frowned, his tone a little cold, "Brother, just tell the truth, have Father and Mother's illnesses relapsed?"
"what?"
"sick?"
The Wen family members were all surprised!
Ye Jingchuan: "I didn't dare to ask when my older sister was here. Big brother, just tell me, I can handle it."
Uncle Ye gritted his teeth, then his shoulders slumped, and he said in a low voice, "Yes, it has relapsed. I sent them to the Medicine King Valley to recuperate."
"When did this happen?"
“You haven’t been away from Xieqiao Town for more than a few days.”
Wenwen was startled; that had happened more than two months ago.
When they met in Xieqiao Town, the two elders looked perfectly normal and showed no signs of illness.
Could it be a chronic, long-standing illness?
It has to be said that this guess was quite accurate.
The Ye family elders, both over 60 years old, are considered elderly in the mortal world. They already had some health problems, and the Wen family's misfortune and their worries about their daughter's family caused them to become anxious and stressed, triggering their old ailments.
Even though the Ye family has been doctors for generations, even though there is a grandmaster from Medicine King Valley, even though Ye's grandfather himself was a doctor, the saying "a doctor cannot heal himself" applies here.
There are some intractable diseases that even Hua Tuo himself was helpless to treat.
unless......
A deity has reappeared!
Ye Jingchuan looked towards the door, and after a long while, he said something surprising, "Brother, give me a horse, and I'll leave the city immediately and go to Medicine King Valley."
"uncle!"
"Xiao Chuan!"
"Second brother!"
Everyone in the room exclaimed in surprise.
Ye Jingchuan said with a serious expression, "I'm serious."
Without hesitation, Uncle Ye said, "Wait here," and turned to leave.
Wenwen quickly spoke up, "Uncle, wait for me a moment."
Wenwen turned around and rummaged through her backpack.
This backpack was sewn for her by her older sister not long ago. It's a bit like a modern crossbody bag. She carried it just in case, but I never expected it to come in handy here.
Wenwen rummaged through her backpack and pulled out several bottles of pills, two longevity fruits, and three jade boxes. "Uncle, here you go."
Ye Jingchuan looked at the items in front of him and had many thoughts.
The pills were made by Wenwen, and their effects were better than those of ordinary medicines. Regardless of whether they were suitable for his condition, the girl gave them all to him.
He knew the effects of the Longevity Fruit; it was mentioned in a book he had read before. It said that ordinary people could live more than ten years longer by eating it, but he didn't know if it would be effective for his seriously ill parents.
Finally, the contents of the jade box, needless to say, are the Spirit Fruit!
The girl's meaning couldn't be clearer: if necessary, we can try guiding qi into the body; what if it works!
The book says that cultivators in the Qi Refining stage have a lifespan of nearly 120 years. Although this is not absolute, what if it is?
The book also says that it is easier to succeed if you start cultivating in childhood. As you get older, your energy and blood begin to decline, and the success rate decreases. However, this is not absolute.
In short, these are the only solutions Wenwen can think of right now, and they represent her heartfelt desire.
That's incredibly kind of you!
Ye Jingchuan could only nod solemnly, "Wait for me to come back."
