I rely on talismans to seek longevity

The village chief took Doctor Li and walked into the house. There was a simple bed in the corner of the house, and on the bed lay an unconscious old man, who was the old man Luo Ling had brought back before. Doctor Li walked to the bedside and gently placed his hand on the old man's pulse. After a while, he observed the old man's eyes and mouth. Then he stood up and said to Luo Ling: "Who is this person? How could he be so seriously injured? If you hadn't used ginseng to prolong his life, even gods wouldn't be able to save him."

The village chief complained impatiently: "Who is this guy? He is the one this kid picked up in the mountains. I didn't know he was so kind." Luo Ling touched his head helplessly and smiled foolishly.

At this time, Doctor Li said, "You guys go out first. I'm going to use my ancestral secret technique. You can't stand by and watch. Li Xin, come and guard the door." When the apprentice heard this, he drove the village chief and Luo Ling out, closed the door, and stood at the door to act as a gatekeeper.

The village chief took Luo Ling's hand and walked aside. He said, "You are amazing. You were able to invite Doctor Li here, and he came so quickly."

Luo Ling shrugged and said, "It's not that easy. It cost me 10 taels of silver."

The village chief said in a slightly louder voice: "What, 10 taels, are you crazy? You saved up the money with great difficulty, but you don't want to marry a wife." After saying that, he kept muttering "10 taels, 10 taels, it's really bad". You should know that in a place like Luojia Village, you may not be able to earn 10 taels of silver in a year. Many people can't afford the 20 taels of betrothal gift to marry a wife. As a result, many people can save up money to marry a wife as soon as they are almost there, because they are too remote. It takes more than a day's journey to the nearest town.

After waiting for a long time, Dr. Li came out with a "squeak". His face was covered with sweat. Li Xin quickly handed him a towel. He wiped the sweat off his face and said tiredly: "Luckily, I arrived in time. If I were a quarter of an hour later, I would be powerless. But now I don't know when he will wake up. But I can guarantee that his life is no longer in danger."

Luo Ling quickly said to Doctor Li, "Thank you, thank you." Then he took out 5 taels of silver and gave it to Doctor Li. When Doctor Li saw the silver, his tired look immediately changed and his eyes lit up.

The village chief also came over and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Li. I have arranged for someone to prepare dinner. Let's go eat quickly." At the same time, he said to Luo Ling, "Go see the old man first, and then come over to eat with us."

Luo Ling turned and walked into the room. When he came to the old man, he heard that the old man's breathing was almost normal. The situation was the same as what Doctor Li said, but he didn't know when the old man would wake up. Then he walked out of the room and went to eat with the village chief and others.

At the village chief's house, a table of not-so-rich food was prepared, all of which were wild game from the mountains. Doctor Li was very happy eating, and he would have a drink with the village chief and Luo Ling from time to time. But Luo Ling looked worried and seemed absent-minded. The village chief didn't know what to say to comfort him, but just said that he was uncomfortable because he spent so much money. The dinner ended only when Doctor Li was slightly drunk.

After coming back from dinner, Luo Ling fell asleep as soon as he lay down on the bed. He didn't sleep much the previous night and was very nervous about spending the night outside. If there hadn't been a land temple halfway, he wouldn't have known where to rest.

The next day, after breakfast, Doctor Li responsibly visited the old man again and prepared to go back to town. At this time, Luo Ling hurriedly brought a pile of mountain products to Doctor Li. When Doctor Li saw it, his eyes narrowed into a line with a smile. He said, "Young man, you are very good. You don't need to see me off when I go back. Li Xin and I will go back. Come to the town to play next time you have time." After that, he waved Li Xin to take the pile of mountain products and walked out of the village. The village chief and Luo Ling waited until they could no longer see Doctor Li and looked at each other. The village chief said, "Why did you do this? Not only did you spend so much money, but you also picked up a burden. In the past, you were alone and your family was not hungry. Now you are well, what will you do in the future?"

Luo Ling thought for a while and said: "Can I just watch them die without helping them? Although my parents passed away early, I still understand that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda."

The village chief was so angry that he stamped his feet and said, "Okay, deal with your own business yourself. Otherwise, your father and I are like brothers, so I won't bother with you." After saying that, he left without looking back.

Luo Ling looked at the gradually disappearing figure of the village chief, and suddenly felt a little confused. Was he really wrong? Oh, forget it, don't think too much about it. Whatever happens, let's go hunt some prey and earn some money first. Now that there is one more person, the expenses will definitely be greater.
