Quick Wear: True and False Life

Chapter 113 The Real Gold Picked Up as a Marriage Substitute 34

Wei Nan flew all the way into the depths of the dense forest and stopped only in a sparsely populated area. He threw the formation plate and lightning rod to Baixi to let it get ready. He and Lingxi quickly left the place and went to a place on the top of a mountain with a wide view to wait.

Soon, the clouds were filled with dark clouds, lightning and thunder. After brewing for a while, the first lightning shot straight from the clouds into the dense forest. Bai Xi's painful cries could be faintly heard.

Then the second strike came down, and the first line of defense of the formation flashed with white light, and then it was completely destroyed with a "bang".

The third time followed closely, with most of it transferred underground through the lightning rod, and a small part was absorbed by Baixi. When the dark clouds dispersed, Baixi's scorched body quickly healed in the golden light from the sky. The surrounding grass and trees were happy to see the dry dew, and quickly sprouted, bloomed, bore fruit, withered, and began the next cycle. This went on for many times and stopped after the light dispersed.

"Bai Xi, are you okay?" After the thunder tribulation ended, Wei Nan rushed to the place where Bai Xi was undergoing the tribulation and shouted into the pit covered by grass.

"Sister, it couldn't be better. I feel full of strength." The sound of Bai Xi excitedly pounding the ground came from the bottom of the pit.

"That's good. Don't get excited. It's time to go back." Seeing that he was fine, Wei Nan shouted, thinking about the things in the shop, and then walked back.

"Here I come!" Bai Xi said as he jumped out of the pit and followed Wei Nan back to the pharmacy.

In the pharmacy, the work was done quickly thanks to the addition of Lingxi and Baixi, so Wei Nan took them to a restaurant to eat. Lingxi said that she was not so hungry for chicken anymore.

"Sister, please order that blunt meat for me." Lingxi saw the meat dishes in the store and heard the waiter say that they tasted good, so she asked her to order it.

"Sister, I'd rather eat chicken. It's more flavorful." Bai Xi felt that roasted chicken had a stronger taste and was reluctant to change.

"Okay! Fortunately, there is a wooden plate in the space, which makes it convenient for you to eat." Wei Nan said as he took out a plate from the space and put it away.

"Sister, are you listening to what's being said in the next box? The prefect of Yanzhou Prefecture was exiled with his entire family for corruption." Lingxi had sharp ears and eyes, and she heard what was being said next door in a flash.

"Really? Don't say anything. Let me listen carefully to what's going on." Wei Nan said, raising his index finger to his lips, signaling for silence. It turned out that Fang He, the prefect of Yanzhou Prefecture, was recently detained by General Zhao with his entire family in prison for trial on the grounds of irrefutable evidence.

After investigation, it was found that Fang He wanted his stepmother to take all the blame, but he was retaliated by her and was implicated in the case of poisoning his original wife. Because he was involved in a murder case, Fang He was finally executed in the autumn. The rest of the people were sent to the imperial court for women and exiled to Yanzhou for men. They were not allowed to become scholars for three generations.

"It seems that Zhao Chongzhi and Qin Xinghua are very powerful!" After hearing Fang He's final outcome, Wei Nan sighed sincerely.

"Sister, it seems that General Zhao is quite capable, and your help to him was worth it." Lingxi also praised.

"Brother Lingxi, Zhao Chongzhi was able to rise to the position of general, his ability is undoubtedly strong." Bai Xi also followed suit and praised.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Our dishes are here." Wei Nan raised his hand to signal when he heard the waiter knocking on the door.

"Okay, okay, let's stop talking and serve! I'm so hungry." Lingxi said happily when she heard the dishes were coming, and even Baixi nodded vigorously to express the same opinion.

Wei Nan was too lazy to argue with them, so he took the initiative to disconnect his spiritual communication and waited for the dishes to come up before savoring them carefully.

After returning home, he happened to meet Zhou Yonghong who was about to leave the house. When they met, they chatted about the operation of the pill shop. The sales volume kept increasing. It seemed that the affordable and commonly used pills were easily accepted by the people.

"This Bai Xi is back, what about Ling Xi?" When Zhou Yonghong was almost done talking, he saw Bai Xi climbing under the tree and said in confusion, "Aren't these two inseparable? Where did the other one go?"

"Here, Bai Gu's body is old and can't be used anymore, and Lingxi has taken a fancy to the snake body that was dragged back." Wei Nan raised his hand to show the little snake on his wrist and said.

"Is this Lingxi? What's going on?" Zhou Yonghong asked in surprise, pointing at the moving snake on her wrist.

"Lingxi is a spiritual being. She hasn't been able to build a physical body yet, so she can only use the body of a recent dead person to go out and move around." She explained briefly.

"No wonder Xiangchu had to drag this dead snake back when he first saw it."

"It simply thought this thing was beautiful and had fangs as weapons, so it looked very cool, so it chose it." Wei Nan was also very shameless when talking about this. Lingxi was purely obsessed with looks.

"It's really good-looking. It has good taste."

Later, as the two were chatting, they talked about a letter from an old friend in Luzhou. He said that his granddaughter's health was getting worse and worse, and he didn't know if she could survive this year. Her parents nearby were often quarreling because their child could not be cured, and their family was torn apart. It was really a sin!

"If that child doesn't pay more attention, he might get hurt." After saying this, Zhou Yonghong couldn't help but sigh.

"If they had trusted me more at the beginning, the child might have grown up healthily. It all depends on their choice and has nothing to do with others." Wei Nan said, thinking of the child's mother.

It is said that this mother was a very smart person, but unfortunately she was too arrogant. She couldn't let go of her pride after being rejected. When she came back to beg him, she couldn't come to her on her own initiative. It can only be said that they were not destined to be together.

"Yes, I agree with your idea."

Life is long and short. When the three old people began to worry about the next generation, Wei Nan divined where her fate was in this plane. Divination showed that she had a son and a daughter, a teacher and a disciple, one of whom lived in Suzhou Prefecture and the other was far away in the capital.

On this day, Wei Nan brought his men to a place where beggars lived. At this time, most of the beggars had gone out to beg for food, leaving only an old beggar who was too sick to get up and a few very young ones.

Wei Nan walked in slowly and took a quick glance at the surroundings. The house was very shabby and drafty. In the corner sat an old man covered with straw. There were four very young children around him. One of them was holding a broken bowl and feeding the old man water.

When they heard the sound at the door, they looked up and saw a very elegant lady coming in with a maid. The child shrank back when he saw them, and the old beggar also opened his confused eyes and looked at Wei Nan and the others.

"Madam, why...what are you here for?" The old beggar struggled to get up when he saw her approaching, and then leaned against the wall, panting.

"I'm here to pick someone up." Wei Nan saw that he spoke weakly and his face was weather-beaten, so he looked at him warily when he heard him pick someone up.

"Who are you picking up?"

"Chun'er, give me the water."

"It's the young lady." Chun'er said as she handed the water bag in the basket to Wei Nan.

The little beggar was frightened and the water in the bowl spilled. She took the water bag, squatted down, and poured water into his bowl in front of his surprised eyes.

"I'm sorry, I scared you just now. As an apology, what do you want?" Wei Nan deliberately tested her. After all, she didn't want to take someone with a bad temper home.

"Is anything okay?" After hearing this, the little beggar opened his clear eyes and asked cautiously.
