The thatched house is extremely poor, there is not even a decent table, and the few chairs placed are in dilapidated condition. Some of the chair legs were broken and then tied up with ropes. It seems that they will break at any time after sitting down. In such a house
, it is impossible to have decorations such as murals. For Lu Yang and his son, those decorations are simply luxuries.
After everyone sat down, Su Rui finally found several tea bowls. The tea bowls looked different, some were big and some were small. They were obviously not the same set. There was not even a single tea leaf in the tea bowl. After all, no one had ever been here before.
, Su Rui has not left the room, so it is impossible to buy tea. The housekeeper has always looked down on Lu Yang and his son, so it is impossible to bring tea.
Su Rui stood up, glanced at Lu Tao, and said, "Young Master, I'm sorry for the poor hospitality."
Lu Tao didn't care about such hospitality at all. Even if it was worse than this, he wouldn't take it to heart.
At this moment, Lu Tao was thinking about how to get Lu Yang to take the elixir, and hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Auntie, you're too polite. If I don't come here, I won't be able to experience the life of my ninth brother. So be it! After I go back this time
, I must discuss with my father to let my aunt and ninth brother move into another courtyard and enjoy the same treatment as us."
"Then thank you, young master." Su Rui said politely.
Lu Tao glanced at Lu Yang and said to Su Rui: "Auntie, I have something to say to my ninth brother and want to be alone with him. Do you think that's okay?" He said, pointing to the side room next to him.
Su Rui had been thinking about the purpose of Lu Tao's coming, so naturally he would not let them talk alone, and hurriedly said: "I don't think so, Lu Yang's room is even more messy, there is not even a place to sit, so let's talk here!
"
As the saying goes, old age is still hot. Su Rui's words made Lu Tao not know how to answer.
"This..." Lu Tao felt depressed, secretly scolding Su Rui as an old fox, and then said: "Auntie, I don't care about this. Even if I stand and talk to my ninth brother, it doesn't matter."
Su Rui obviously guessed what Lu Tao was going to do, and did not answer him directly. He changed the subject and said, "Lu Tao, I just saw Lu Yang holding a pill in his hand. Did you give him the pill?"
Lu Tao didn't know why Su Rui asked this question, but he still replied: "Yes! I heard that my father taught my ninth brother to practice Taishu Boxing, so I prepared a bone refining pill. Auntie, you also know that the bone refining pill
But it’s a good thing. After taking it, you can strengthen your physique and speed up your cultivation. I hope Ninth Brother can take it soon..."
Su Rui's eyes flashed, and he realized the crux of the problem, and said hurriedly: "I have heard about the Bone Refining Pill. It is indeed a rare and high-quality pill. After being convinced, it can not only change a person's physique, but also
It can also eliminate diseases. Not only that, the chance of catching wind and cold in winter will also be reduced."
"Yes! I didn't expect my aunt to know so much." Lu Tao thought this was an opportunity for Lu Tao to swallow the elixir, so he stood up and said, "My aunt is the son of the ninth brother, and you also want him to improve his cultivation quickly.
Let’s make some contribution to the family! That’s why I’m anxious to get my ninth brother to take the elixir as soon as possible, so as not to waste my time in vain.”
Su Rui raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Lu Yang and said, "Can I take a look at the elixir first?"
Lu Yang took out the wooden box from his arms, handed it to his mother and said, "The elixir is inside."
Su Rui took the wooden box, opened it gently and looked at it for a while. She took a deep breath of the medicinal fragrance and nodded: "It is indeed a high-quality bone refining pill. If I can swallow a little, the problem with this old Han's leg will be gone."
Do you know if the medicine can cure the disease?"
Old cold legs are actually a common disease among middle-aged and elderly people who suffer from soreness, numbness and pain in the knee joints on cloudy and rainy days or when the weather turns cold, which recurs and cannot be cured for a long time.
After saying this, Lu Tao and others were startled, especially Sun Fei, who frowned.
The abnormal look in the eyes of the three people disappeared briefly, but Su Rui still saw it in her eyes, and she confirmed her previous guess.
Su Rui's palace is not deep, but it is not comparable to the three young men in front of her. Her expression remained unchanged and she said: "Lu Yang, mother doesn't want to swallow a pill, just a little bit is enough. Are you reluctant to part with it?"
Of course Lu Yang was willing to give it up. He stood up and said, "Mother, don't tell me you want just a little. Even if you want all of it, I can give it to you." After saying that, he picked up the tea bowl in his hand and handed it to Su Rui.
, said: "Mother, you should swallow this elixir first! Big brother said that he still has a lot, and I will do the same thing when I go to his place in the future."
Su Rui did not take the tea bowl, but looked at Lu Tao and said: "Master, first of all, thank you for your kindness to Lu Yang. My aunt took this elixir first. What do you think?"
Lu Tao was a little panicked. He just wanted to kill Lu Yang, but he never thought of killing Su Rui as well.
Besides, if Su Rui had taken the elixir and Lu Yang had not died, the consequences would have been even more serious.
Lu Tao didn't want to see this scene happen. Just when he didn't know how to answer, Fei stood up again, "Mrs. Su, although the Bone Refining Pill can cure stubborn diseases like Lao Han's legs, swallowing too much will not only cause
There is no benefit to the body, but rather harm. Because Mrs. Su is so old, once she takes too much, the effect of the medicine cannot be absorbed in a short period of time, and the accumulation in the body will lead to the occurrence of rare diseases."
"Oh! Why didn't I hear about it?" Su Rui stared at Sun Fei with a look of confusion on his face.
Lu Tao also recovered from his confusion and hurriedly said: "Auntie, you don't know something. Sun Fei's family can be said to be a family of medicine refining, and the pills in Lu Mansion are all refined by his family. Sun Fei
I have been proficient in pharmacology since I was a child, and I know how much medicine people of different ages should take. Otherwise, why would the doctor remind me again and again about the dosage of each medicine when I am not sick?"
Su Rui also knew that Lu Tao was making excuses. After all, elixirs are different from traditional Chinese medicines, so she didn't point it out and said, "In that case, how much should I take?"
Lu Tao didn't understand pharmacology at all. He only knew that this elixir contained poison. He thought: "It should be enough to take a fingernail-sized pill. If not, I will give my aunt some elixirs specially designed to treat old cold legs."
medicine."
Su Rui nodded, took some out of the elixir, then took out a white handkerchief from his arms, wrapped it up, and said, "I know how to take it." After saying that, he put the elixir in the box.
Pass it to Lu Yang.
Seeing this, Lu Tao hurriedly said: "Auntie, once the elixir is broken, you must take it as soon as possible, otherwise if it is delayed, it will have no medicinal properties at all. To be honest, I can't take the elixir like the Bone Refining Pill in a month."
I can only get two. I took one before. If I want it, I have to wait until next month. I'm afraid that my aunt's cold legs will attack..."
Hearing this, Lu Yang was most worried. He said anxiously: "Mother, brother is right. Your cold legs must be cured quickly. How about we take the elixir together?"
Lu Tao's face lit up and he said: "Ninth brother, I didn't expect you to be so filial. You are really a role model for my Lu family disciples to learn from!"
"How can I be filial? I just don't want to see my mother get sick." Lu Yang touched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
Su Rui knew that there was something wrong with the elixir, but she couldn't remind her son face to face. She just made two secret winks, but Lu Yang didn't see it, so she had to give up. Su Rui knew in her heart that she couldn't delay this matter any longer, or she had to take the first step.
Take the elixir and send Lu Yang away, or fall out on the spot and say no to taking the elixir.
Su Rui rolled his eyes, preparing to check the attitude of Lu Tao and others first, and said: "I must take the pill, but wouldn't it be rude to take it in front of the young master? I think it's better to wait and take it later!"
Lu Tao had to see Lu Yang take the elixir before leaving. He shook his head and said, "How could it be rude? We are all a family, so why should we care so much about red tape." As he said that, he looked at Lu Yang smartly and said: "
Ninth brother, what you said to the eldest brother is right, if one family does not speak the same language, all etiquette should be put aside!"
Lu Yang is an innocent child at all. He has not noticed anything unusual yet, so he nodded and said: "Brother is right, I have always thought so."
"Ninth brother, you see that my aunt has been reluctant to take the elixir. Maybe she wants to keep it for you, and then get more elixirs from me for you to take." Lu Tao sighed and said, "You are so good.
My mother, I am so touched. If you can think of your mother, take the elixir first, and then ask your aunt to take it too..."
Su Rui's expression changed. He was about to remind Lu Yang that there was something wrong with the elixir, but he saw that Sun Fei and Wang He were exuding a strong aura. Su Rui could tell at a glance that this was a precursor to the physical master's improvement in strength.
, then they knew that if they did not take the elixir, the two men would forcefully feed the elixir into their mouths.
Thinking of this result, Su Rui knew that he had to do it, and said hurriedly: "Young master, I didn't expect you to be so smart. I guessed what I was thinking. Now that you have said it, it is indeed a bit too much for me to do this again.
That's good, I'll take the elixir first, and then Lu Yang will swallow it!" After saying that, he waved to Lu Yang and motioned for him to bring the tea bowl.
Lu Yang looked overjoyed and hurriedly walked over with the bowl in hand, then handed it to his mother.
After Su Rui picked up the tea bowl, he took a deep look at Lu Yang. There was a strange emotion in that look, and then he raised his head and swallowed the pill. After finishing all this, Su Rui put down the tea bowl and took out a pill from his arms.
He handed the thing wrapped in handkerchief to Lu Yang and said, "I just remembered something. Your father came to see me in the evening and asked you to give him something like this when you come back. Go now."
Lu Yang took the things without thinking much and said, "Mother, I'll take the elixir first and then go!"
Su Rui shook his head, his face became solemn, and he said sternly, almost in a commanding tone: "No, without further ado, you can swallow it on the way there."
Lu Yang rarely heard his mother say such a stern tone, but every time it proved that his mother was serious, and he never refuted it.
Lu Yang put away the bone refining pill and immediately looked at Lu Tao and others, saying: "Brother, I will take the pill later. Now I want to see my father first. If anything happens, I will talk about it later." After finishing his words, he said
Walk towards the door.
Lu Yang winked at Sun Fei and motioned for him to follow him out first, and then said to Su Rui: "Auntie, if nothing happens, I will leave first."
Su Rui snorted coldly, changed his previous attitude, walked in front of Sun Fei, blocked his way, and said solemnly: "Young Master, do you want to leave like this?"
