Chapter 129 Token
Chapter 129 Token
Shang Wan waved his palm over the bamboo basket, and it was instantly filled with herbs.
She hung the bamboo basket on the back of the wheelchair and signaled Lu Chengjing to turn the wheelchair back by himself.
The two of them had only taken a few steps when they heard a noise behind them and turned to look.
"Mom! Dad!"
Yuanyuan rushed out of the forest riding Xiaohui, covered in mud and leaves, as dirty as the child in Shang Wan's arms.
If Xiaohuan saw it, she would definitely catch him and give him a good beating.
Yuanyuan had a pair of big, bright eyes. One of her little hands was grabbing the fur on the little gray cat's back, and the other hand was dragging a long piece of meat-like object.
The little guy thought his parents were here to pick him up. He grinned with three tiny teeth showing, and held up the long object to the two of them like he was offering a treasure. "Ci!"
The long patterned thing shook twice because of her movements.
Shang Wan's eyes twitched. Isn't this Mr. Venomous Snake who was knocked down the valley by her?
It turned out that she let him go, and was killed by her own son.
Mr. Venomous Snake must have not checked the almanac before going out hunting today.
"My dear, aren't you tired?" Shang Wan thought the little guy was going to sleep all day.
"No!" Yuanyuan shook her little head, looking very energetic.
She directed Xiao Hui to come over and tried to force the poisonous snake into the bamboo basket filled with herbs.
Lu Chengjing took a deep breath. It had only been a few days, and his sweet daughter was already able to kill a poisonous snake as thick as an arm.
Should he praise his wife for her good parenting skills?
Taking a deep breath, Lu Chengjing tried to stay calm and explained to his daughter, "This is a poisonous snake. You can't eat it."
"Next!" Yuanyuan maintained the action of stuffing the poisonous snake into her mouth and blinked her big eyes.
Lu Chengjing said helplessly, "Be good, you really can't eat it. You will get sick if you eat it."
With a round, flat little mouth, he turned his head to look at Shang Wan, only to find that his mother was holding someone in her arms.
She decisively threw the venomous snake away, patted Xiao Hui, and leaned over to take a look curiously.
Under the healing effect of the spiritual spring water, the fever in the child's body had subsided a lot, and he slept much more soundly than before, without any more mumbling.
Yuanyuan stretched out her little hand and poked the child's face, which was soft and almost the same as hers.
The little girl's eyes were curved with laughter. Hehe, here comes another little brother to play with her.
She moved her little butt back, and Yuanyuan patted the empty space in front of her, signaling her mother to put her little brother up.
Shang Wan decisively refused, saying that the child had knife wounds on his body and it was inappropriate.
Yuanyuan puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction, but she could do nothing about her mother, and her father listened to her mother.
The little guy sighed like a little adult, decisively abandoned his parents, rode away on Little Gray to play with Uncle Stone.
The newly-minted friend was simply forgotten by her.
Shang Wan took the child home. Xiaohuan heard the noise and looked over, her eyes widened in shock.
"Sister, where did this child come from?"
"I found it." Shang Wan said, "Do you have hot water? The child has injuries, wash them first and then apply medicine."
"Yes." Xiaohuan hurried to make arrangements.
Ever since Yuanyuan started going into the mountains every day, Xiaohuan would calculate the time and prepare a pot of hot water. The first thing Yuanyuan did when she got home was to take a bath and change clothes.
Xiaohuan is still worried. It's okay now that the weather is warm, but when it gets cold, won't she catch a cold if she takes a bath every day?
After stripping the child naked, Shang Wan frowned.
The child had three knife wounds in total, one on the back, two on the arms, and the rest were abrasions and scratches.
The knife wound on the arm was relatively light, but the one on the back was extremely deep, with flesh and blood exposed, looking particularly terrifying on the fair little body.
Shang Wan once again sighed that the child was lucky and was able to hold on despite being so injured.
However, if someone could kill a child, it must be revenge, right?
As Lu Chengjing said, this child is a trouble.
While helping Xiaohuan to wash the child, Shang Wan unexpectedly discovered that the child was quite handsome, with a bit of a fairy-like look.
Xiao Huan looked at the child lying on the cushion with concern, "Sister, the wound on the child's back is long and deep, and needs stitches. I'd better go find Doctor Yuan to help take a look."
"No need." Shang Wan stopped her, "Just apply the medicine your brother-in-law used on him."
Since it is a trouble, naturally the fewer people who know about it, the better.
Xiaohuan naturally listened to Shang Wan and applied the ointment to the child. She waited until the ointment was almost dry before bandaging it with gauze.
Shang Wan walked out of the wooden shed and went towards Lu Chengjing.
Lu Chengjing was sorting the herbs he had picked. He turned around when he heard the noise and asked, "How is the child?"
"He's seriously injured, but his life is fine." Shang Wan handed over the bloody purse he had picked up, "It should be that child's. Take a look."
Lu Chengjing wiped his hands and took it, holding the purse upside down and pouring out the contents one by one.
Two things in total.
A transparent white jade pendant, round in shape, with a relatively simple style, a circle of hollowed-out patterns all around, the word "Chu" engraved in the middle, and two bats engraved below.
A square copper token as long as a little finger, with no patterns on it, only three words engraved in seal script in the middle: Fu Lu Shou.
The three characters are arranged in a row, with the same size and even spacing.
Shang Wan had already read it in advance, and waited until Lu Chengjing finished reading before asking, "Did you see anything?"
"Chu." Lu Chengjing stroked the bat pattern on the white jade pendant with his fingertips. "There is a clan emblem on this jade pendant."
Large families usually have family crests. This child's origins are indeed not simple.
"What about this?" Shang Wan pointed to the bronze token.
Lu Chengjing shook his head, indicating that he didn't know what the copper token was used for.
Shang Wan took it and looked at it carefully, frowned for a while and said, "Is there a word written on it?"
"It's the three characters of Fu, Lu, and Shou."
Lu Chengjing has been teaching Shang Wan how to read recently, and motioned for Shang Wan to open his palm.
With light strokes of his finger, he slowly wrote the three words again to make it easier for Shang Wan to remember.
Shang Wan: "...Next time you should write on the table with water."
Lu Chengjing was slightly stunned, "Why?"
Shang Wan said, "Who is the good guy who writes on the palm of his hand? This thing is only used when flirting, right?"
Lu Chengjing: “…”
The tips of his ears turned red and he turned his face away uncomfortably, pretending to study the bronze token.
Shang Wan grabbed his hand and squeezed it, then asked with a smile, "Are you still writing?"
Lu Chengjing pursed his lips, and when Shang Wan was about to let go, he grabbed her hand, held it tightly, and said "hmm" softly.
……
Where is this?
Chu Xu opened his eyes with great effort, and looked at the little turtle whose head stretched and retracted in front of him, feeling dazed for a moment.
Didn't he jump off the cliff? The Hades' Palace doesn't look like this, does it?
"Duoduo!"
A round little face suddenly appeared in his sight. The little girl tilted her head to look at him, her big eyes twinkling like stars.
Chu Xu opened his mouth twice before making a slight sound, "Who are you?"
Yuanyuan ignored him and quickly crawled out to tell the adults that the little brother had woken up.
Liangliang was sitting on the side. Seeing that Chu Xu's lips were dry and chapped, he silently poured him a glass of water and handed it to him.
Chu Xu then realized that he was lying prone. When he moved slightly, he felt a piercing pain in his back.
His face turned pale. He looked at the bamboo cup, but didn't take it. He stared at Liangliang and asked, "Where is this?"
