Chapter 131 Token
Shang Wan flicked 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.
The two of them had only taken a few steps when there was a noise behind them, and they couldn't help but turn their heads to look.
"Mom! Daddy!"
Yuanyuan rushed out of the mountain forest on Xiao Hui. She was covered in mud and leaves. She was as dirty as the child Shang Wan was holding.
If Xiaohuan saw him, he would definitely be caught and given a bath.
A pair of big round eyes were shining, one small hand was holding the fur on Xiao Hui's back, and the other was dragging a long piece of flesh.
The little guy thought his parents were coming to pick him up, so he grinned with three millet teeth and held up the long object to the two of them like a treasure, "Second!"
The long patterned thing was shaken by her movements.
Shang Wan's eyes twitched. Isn't this Mr. Viper who she knocked down the valley?
If he dared to let her go, he would be tortured to death by his own son.
Mr. Viper must not have looked at the almanac when he went 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, very energetic.
She directed Xiao Hui to come closer and tried to force the poisonous snake into the bamboo basket filled with herbs.
Lu Chengjing took a deep breath. In just a few days, his soft and waxy daughter could already kill a venomous snake as thick as an arm.
Should he praise his wife for teaching her daughter well?
Taking a deep breath, Lu Chengjing tried to stay calm and explained to his daughter, "This is a venomous snake and cannot be eaten."
"Time!" Yuanyuan continued to stuff the venomous snake, blinking her big eyes.
Lu Chengjing said in a helpless tone, "Hey, you really can't eat it. You'll get sick if you eat it."
With her round and flat mouth, she turned her little head to look at Shang Wan, and then she realized that her mother was holding someone in her arms.
She decisively threw away the poisonous snake, patted Xiao Hui, and leaned over to take a look curiously.
Under the healing power of the spiritual spring water, the heat on the child's body has faded a lot, and he sleeps much more peacefully than before, without any murmuring.
Yuanyuan stretched out her little hand and poked the child's face. It was soft, almost like hers.
The little guy smiled and rolled his eyes. Hey, here comes another little brother to play with her.
She moved her little butt back, Yuanyuan patted the specially vacated space in front of her, and signaled her mother to put her little brother up.
Shang Wan decisively refused. The child still had stab wounds on his body, so it was inappropriate.
Yuanyuan puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction, but there was nothing she could do against her mother, and her father listened to her mother again.
Sighing like an adult, the little guy decisively abandoned his parents and rode Xiao Hui away to play with Uncle Shitou.
The freshly minted friend was just forgotten by her.
Shang Wan took the child home. When Xiaohuan heard the noise and looked over, his eyes widened in shock.
"Sister, where did this child come from?"
"I picked it up," Shang Wan said, "Is there any hot water? This child has injuries on his body. Please clean them first before applying medicine."
"Yes." Xiaohuan hurriedly went to make arrangements.
Since Yuanyuan went to the mountains every day, Xiaohuan would count the seconds to prepare a pot of hot water. The first thing Yuanyuan did when she came home was to take a shower and change clothes.
Xiao Huan is still worried. The weather is warm now, but when the weather gets cold, how can I take a shower every day and not catch the cold?
After stripping the child naked, Shang Wan frowned.
There were three stab wounds on the child's body, one on the back, two on the arms, and the others were scrapes and scratches.
The knife wound on the arm was relatively minor, but the one on the back was so deep that even the flesh and blood were exposed, which looked particularly terrifying on the small white body.
Shang Wan once again lamented that this child had a great fate and could still hold his breath even if he was injured like this.
However, to be able to kill a child is probably to seek revenge, right?
As Lu Chengjing said, this child is trouble.
After helping Xiaohuan clean the child, Shang Wan was surprised to find that the child was quite handsome, a bit like a little fairy child.
Xiaohuan looked worriedly at the child lying on the cushion, "Sister, the wound on this child's back is long and deep and needs stitches. I'd better go find Dr. Yuan for help." "No need." Shang Wan Stop her, "Just put the medicine your brother-in-law uses on him."
Since it is a trouble, naturally the fewer people know about it, the better.
Xiaohuan naturally listened to Shang Wan and applied ointment to the child. After the ointment was almost dry, he wrapped it with gauze.
Shang Wan walked out of the wooden shed and went to Lu Chengjing's side.
Lu Chengjing was sorting the herbs he had picked. When he heard the noise, he turned around and asked, "How about the child?"
"The injury is serious, but my life is safe." Shang Wan handed over the bloody purse he 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 and relatively simple in style, with a hollow pattern around it, the word "Chu" engraved in the middle, and two bats engraved below.
A square copper token as long as the little finger, with no pattern at all, only three characters carved in seal script in the middle: Fu, Lu, Shou.
The three words are arranged in a row, the same size, and evenly spaced.
Shang Wan had already read it in advance, and after Lu Chengjing finished it, he asked, "Did you see anything?"
"Chu." Lu Chengjing rubbed the bat pattern on the white jade pendant with his fingertips, "This jade pendant has a clan emblem on it."
Large families usually have family emblems, and the origin of this child is indeed not simple.
"What about this one?" Shang Wan pointed to the copper token.
Lu Chengjing shook his head, indicating that he didn't know what the use of this copper token was.
Shang Wan took it over and looked at it carefully. He frowned for a while and said, "Are they the words written on it?"
"It's the words Fu, Lu and Shou."
Lu Chengjing was teaching Shang Wan how to read recently and motioned to Shang Wan to open his palms.
He stroked lightly with his fingers and slowly wrote the three words over, making it easier for Shang Wan to remember.
Shang Wan: "... Next time you should write on the table with water on it."
Lu Chengjing was slightly stunned, "Why?"
Shang Wan said, "Who is good enough to write on the palm of his hand? This thing is only used for flirting, right?"
Lu Chengjing: "..."
The tips of his ears turned red, and he turned his face away uncomfortably, pretending to study the copper token.
Shang Wan grabbed his hand, squeezed it, and asked with a smile, "Are you still writing?"
Lu Chengjing pursed his lips, and when Shang Wan was about to let go, he grabbed hold of her, tightened his grip, and said softly, "Hmm."
…
Where is this?
Chu Xu struggled to open his eyes and looked at the little turtle in front of his head that stretched and shrank, feeling in a trance.
Didn't he jump off the cliff? The Palace of the King of Hell doesn’t look like this, does it?
"Duoduo!"
A round little face suddenly appeared in sight. The little girl tilted her head to look at him, her big eyes flickering like stars.
Chu Xu opened his mouth twice before making a slight sound, "Who are you?"
Yuanyuan ignored him and quickly climbed out to tell the adults that her little brother was awake.
Liangliang sat aside and saw that Chu Xu's lips were so dry that she silently poured a glass of water and handed it to him.
Only then did Chu Xu realize that he was lying on his stomach. When he moved a little, he felt a heartbreaking pain on his back.
His face turned pale. He looked at the bamboo water cup without taking it. He stared at Liangliang and asked, "Where is this?"
