Chapter 88 Picking Flowers
At the entrance of the cave.
Gangzi rubbed his hands together and blew on them.
"Miss, we'll be setting off again tomorrow. We want to go hunting in the mountains. The weather is getting colder and colder, and we can't handle it without eating. We also need to store some food for the journey."
Su Chengnan had no objection. There were many elderly, weak, sick and disabled people in this group, so there were indeed many things to consider.
"Okay, be careful."
"Don't worry, we are very skilled!"
Gangzi called a few strong men from the village together, while Jiayi and two others stayed behind to protect everyone. When Goudan's father Chen Gang heard that they were going hunting, his eyes lit up and he also wanted to go.
But he fell silent again as he looked at his legs, coughed lightly, and said, "Gangzi, this is for you."
"what?"
He came over, and Chen Gang took out a slingshot from his arms and gave it to him. Although Gangzi knew his name, he was very confident.
"Brother Chen, I don't need this thing."
"You don't like it?"
"No, no, I have a sword. I'm used to it."
"OK then."
Chen Gang curled his lips and said, "Then go ahead."
"Okay, let's go! Wait until we return with a full load."
Su Chengnan frowned, "Stop joking, go quickly."
"Eh."
After the people left, she pushed Chen Gang's wheelchair to the edge of the woods.
There were no outsiders here, so she got straight to the point: "Why did you leave the border?"
Chen Gang's eyelids twitched unconsciously, and he lowered his head and remained silent.
Su Chengnan just stood opposite him, waiting for him to speak. She had asked Su Weimin a long time ago, and he said that it was because he accidentally killed a child during an assassination mission. He couldn't accept his mistake and decided to leave.
Su Weimin once called him a deserter in an attempt to stop him, but Chen Gang preferred to be a deserter rather than stay.
So he felt that there was something he didn't know about. It was this incident that prompted him to make such a decision, causing him to hide in Tieniu Village for these years.
Mi Feng said that he was confident that he could cure Chen Gang's back and leg injuries, but it would take some time and be a bit troublesome.
So if Su Chengnan wants to use this person, she must see whether he is worth using and whether he wants to return to the top.
"I... did something wrong and am unworthy of working under the Marquis."
"Who hasn't made mistakes? Even a saint wouldn't dare to say that he has always followed the rules and done everything perfectly in his life."
"Young lady, you don't understand. I...I did commit an unforgivable mistake back then. I can't face myself, my fellow soldiers, and even more so, I can't face the trust of the Marquis."
Su Chengnan narrowed her eyes. She vaguely felt that there was something else behind this matter, which was different from the version Su Weimin told her.
"So what about you in the future? How do you want to live?"
"Goudan is a very talented kid. How do you want him to live?"
Chen Gang raised his chin and clenched his fists. "He has his own life. I hope Miss won't take her anger out on the child because of me."
"Take your anger out on me? I won't." Su Chengnan shook his head, then said seriously, "But as a parent, haven't you ever thought about gaining a broader platform for him?"
Chen Gang fell silent.
After a long while, he said, "The eldest lady seems very different from the Marquis."
"Oh?"
"Miss, what do you want me to do?" Chen Gang looked up at her.
"What do you think I want you to do?" Su Chengnan smiled.
"I don't know, but no matter what you want me to do, I refuse. The child has his own life. I can't give him a better life, but I can stop holding him back."
Su Chengnan was quite surprised by his attitude, and became even more curious about what happened that year.
"Brother Chen, you're worrying too much. I don't have anything I want you to do. I just feel it's a pity."
Chen Gang's smile did not reach his eyes, and he seemed helpless and distant. He said nothing, but just looked up at the sky quietly.
After a long while, he finally said, "It's great to be alive."
Su Chengnan thought this was very meaningful. But she didn't ask any more questions. It was just like a business negotiation; every decision took time.
She said, "Yes, I also think it's great to be alive. I can see the sun, the stars, and all living things. Everything has hope."
"Ah."
Chen Gang raised his hand and picked a small piece of dry branch from the bushes beside him, then put it on the slingshot and pulled it gently. With a whoosh, it flew out.
pat-
A gray bird fell from a tree.
There was a small wound on its body that was bleeding, but it had already lost its life forever.
Su Chengnan's breathing stagnated. She suppressed her surprise and looked up to meet Chen Gang's gaze. In his eyes, she saw only a bottomless abyss.
"Miss!"
"Miss, look what we found."
Gangzi jumped down from the treetop, holding a handful of blue flowers in his hand. Is this a blue spirit flower?!
"That's awesome, go show it to Mi Feng." Su Chengnan was happy.
"it is good."
"Mifeng! Doctor Mifeng, I found the blue spirit flower."
Gangzi used his internal force, and the sound was deafening. When Mifeng heard it, he rushed out of the cave.
He held gauze in his left hand and scissors in his right hand. There were dark circles under his eyes and his hair was messy.
"Show me quickly."
"Here, for you! I found it in the valley ahead."
"Yeah, yeah, that's right, it's this thing." Mi Feng smiled contentedly, then his face slowly changed and he began to curse.
"Since you knew this was a blue spirit flower, why didn't you pick some more to grow? You're such a fool!"
Gangzi frowned and said, "I went hunting. I found flowers for you and you scolded me. Well, this is for you. I'm leaving now."
"Where to go?"
"Go back and pick the flowers!"
"Don't worry, let's go! I'll go with you. We can pick the fruits faster if we have more people."
"Okay then, hurry up."
Gangzi rolled his eyes at him reluctantly, which made Su Chengnan click his tongue and shake his head.
Mi Feng put the things down and ran outside immediately. The two of them flew to the top of the tree, one after the other, and then walked on the treetops.
"Mi Feng, the genius doctor, is quite skilled. I didn't expect Penglai Valley's Qing Gong skills to be so impressive."
"Brother Chen has a sharp eye. Maybe he didn't learn martial arts in Penglai?" Su Chengnan joked.
"Impossible! The rules of Penglai Valley are: once you enter, if you fail the poison and drug tests, then even if you die, you can never leave the valley."
"Is there such a rule in Penglai Valley?"
"That's right, this poison test is no joke. Especially for the old valley master's direct disciple, even if he doesn't die, he will definitely lose half his life."
Su Chengnan couldn't help but think of Lu Chaofeng. The poison in his body still required an antidote. Does that mean there are many things he can't accomplish?
"Ah Qiu, who is thinking about me?" Mi Feng sneezed several times in a row and was about to straighten up and complain a few words.
what--
At this moment, a scream broke the tranquility of the valley.
A figure fell from the sky.
Who?
