The Moon is Full in the Traveling House
Chapter 19 Testing
"It was eight years ago. I was only ten years old at the time and unfortunately caught a cold. The disease was so severe that I had a high fever for three days and three nights. After going through a lot of hardships, the fever finally subsided, but it left a serious sequela - my consciousness was trapped! Although I could still feel everything happening around me, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't react to the outside world or express my thoughts and feelings. I was like an idiot, indifferent and confused. In the following years, my family went everywhere to seek medical treatment and medicine to try to cure this disease, but the results were disappointing. Not only did it cost a lot of money, but it almost exhausted all the family property. , even his father passed away due to an accident on the way to seek medical treatment. His mother could not bear such a heavy blow and fell ill and never got up from bed. The burden of life fell on the shoulders of his eldest brother Su Zheng. However, misfortunes never come alone. About two months ago, his eldest brother accidentally fell while going out and suffered a serious leg injury. After diagnosis and treatment, although his life is not in danger, he may inevitably be disabled and walk with a limp in the future. After hearing the news, his mother was heartbroken and her physical condition worsened and eventually passed away. After the funeral of his mother, a miracle happened. Cao Min, who had been in a state of dementia, inexplicably returned to normal, as if the strange disease had never come. "
Su Lun's words were half true and half false.
Xie Tianlin was surprised when he heard this. "There is such a strange thing. But I see that you are very agile and talk very well. You don't look like someone who has been suffering from dementia for many years..."
"When my consciousness was in chaos, I often dreamed. In my dreams, it seemed like another world, where people worked from sunrise to sunset and lived an ordinary but fulfilling life. As a bystander, I watched their daily lives and found it very interesting, so I wrote down all these scenes. In that world, people get up early every day and start their day's work. They grow crops, raise poultry, and make various handicrafts. At night, they sit together and share each other's stories and experiences. In my dreams, what I am most interested in is the daily training of those warriors. They spend a lot of time every day exercising and learning various martial arts skills. I watch them wield swords and perform I memorized all kinds of exquisite moves in my mind. When I woke up from my coma, I found that I remembered everything I saw in my dream. So I tried to practice the moves I learned in my dream. Although the progress was slow at first, as time went by, I gradually mastered some basic skills. However, I know that I am dull and there are still many moves that I have not fully understood. I am extremely ashamed to show off in front of Master Xie today. However, I am not worried that you will doubt me because of this. After all, all this really happened to me. If you don’t believe it, you can send someone to Sujia Village to investigate. I believe they will be able to prove that what I said is true... "
"Mr. Su's experience is indeed incredible and unheard of! Mr. Su, you don't have to belittle yourself. You have such outstanding skills in just over a month. You will definitely achieve something in the future!" After being surprised, Xie Tianlin's tone became gentle. He did not completely disbelieve what Su Lun said. After all, the world is vast and boundless, and there are all kinds of strange things in the world. Moreover, the sincerity revealed in Su Lun's eyes is difficult to disguise. As a crown prince for many years, he is confident that he still has some ability to judge people. However, he cannot completely trust Su Lun, because the timing of Su Lun's appearance is too coincidental. However, as the saying goes, "paper cannot cover fire", and the fox will eventually show its tail. So, he is not overly worried.
"Knock knock, sir, the food is ready. Can I bring it in now?" Just then, the waiter's enthusiastic voice came from outside the door.
Xie Tianlin quickly folded the drawings in his hand and put them in his arms, then responded in a low voice: "Come in."
"Okay!" After getting permission, the waiter pushed open the door and walked in, holding a tray with several hot dishes on it. He put the dishes on the table and introduced them to the two guests: "My dear guests, these are our signature dishes. Please enjoy them slowly. See if they suit your taste. For example, this braised beef..."
"Waiter, I want to ask you something." The waiter was about to start introducing himself, but Xie Tianlin interrupted him. "I don't know what the market is like here. We want to hire a carriage and leave early tomorrow morning."
"Sir, you have finally asked the right person. I have a good friend who does this business. I will go to him later and guarantee to give you the lowest price..." said the waiter enthusiastically.
"Once you get this done, the money will be yours. Remember, we have to set off early tomorrow morning and the price can be negotiated. Also, don't make any noise, I don't like to be disturbed." Xie Tianlin took out five taels of silver and handed it to the waiter.
"The waiter was overjoyed when he took the silver. 'Don't worry, sir. I will take care of this matter. Please enjoy your meal. I will arrange it right away..." After saying this, he went out in a hurry.
Su Lun was secretly shocked. The big shots were indeed very generous. Five taels of silver was enough for an ordinary family to live on for half a year... Looking at the sumptuous meal in front of him, Su Lun couldn't help but swallow silently, but he knew very well that with his status, he could never eat at the same table with the current prince, so he stood up and saluted, saying, "Thank you, sir. I won't disturb you while you eat. I'll take my leave."
"Mr. Su, why don't you stay and have dinner with us?" Xie Tianlin said in a calm tone, without any trace of emotion.
"I am terrified." Su Lun didn't dare to accept it seriously. He was really not worthy of such a gift.
"Forget it." Xie Tianlin sighed, and took out another fifty taels of silver from the package and handed it to Su Lun, "Take the money, just in case of emergency. If you need anything else, just buy it yourself. If there is nothing else, go back and rest first." Giving out such a large sum of money is both a trust and a test. I hope you won't let me down! Xie Tianlin's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible sharpness.
"Mr. Xie, this is absolutely not possible. This is too much money, and I don't have anything to buy, so I really can't afford it..." Su Lun waved his hand hurriedly to refuse, looking sincere, without any pretense.
"Master Su, there is no need to be so respectful." The man in front of him smiled and said slowly, "You saved my life, and it is worth it to thank you in a grand manner. However, it is just a small amount of money, so it is nothing to mention. Besides, there are many places where money is needed during this journey. Usually, there are always people who arrange it for me. I am not good at handling these mundane things, so I will have to look up to you more in the future."
Su Lun quickly waved his hands and replied humbly: "Seeing injustice on the road, I draw my sword to help. It is a righteous act of our kind and I do not deserve thanks. I have never traveled far before and I am afraid I have failed you. I thank you for your kindness, but you should keep the silver yourself." After that, he pushed the heavy bag of silver back to the other party.
However, Xie Tianlin did not seem to take Su Lun's refusal to heart. He still insisted on handing him the silver and said with a smile on his face: "Master Su, please do not refuse. This journey is full of dangers and crises. I am grateful that you are willing to accompany me. The expenses on the way must be high. How can we not prepare some silver and money just in case? Well, let's go and have a meal quickly. The pursuers left no one alive today, so we should be safe for the time being, but we must not be careless. Rest as soon as possible, as we need to get up early tomorrow morning to continue our journey."
Seeing the other party so stubborn, Su Lun couldn't help but feel quite embarrassed. He knew that if he continued to refuse, it would probably cause dissatisfaction from the other party. But if he just accepted the money casually, he would always feel uneasy. After hesitating for a moment, Su Lun said, "Then I'd better obey your order. I will keep it for the time being and return it to you after arriving in the capital. I'll take my leave first."
Xie Tianlin nodded slightly, indicating his tacit agreement. Seeing this, Su Lun quickly withdrew and returned to his room.
