Lin Lu listened quietly to the old farmer finishing the story.
It's really pitiful to think that the old grandfather was demoted as a slave by the Tianluo Sect just like him, and his legs were broken, making him unable to walk steadily.
Lin Lu also felt closer and closer to his grandfather.
"Grandpa Han, like you, I was demoted as a slave by the Tianluo Sect. My parents, brothers and sisters are now missing. The Tianluo Sect is really bad!"
Lin Lu felt a sense of loss when he thought of his family.
"The old man was confused for a moment, which made Xiaoyou Lin sad. Xiaoyou Lin must not blame him."
The old farmer stood up and was about to apologize. Lin Lu quickly stood up and supported him, comforting him and saying,
"Grandpa Han, there's no need to be so polite. I'm somewhat used to being alone, so it won't be a problem."
"Grandpa Han, let's keep walking. This stone is too cold. Sitting for a long time is not good for your health."
In this way, the two people walked slowly along the path in the valley, and soon they arrived in front of seven or eight houses and pavilions built along the lake.
"Madam, a distinguished guest is here."
Hearing the noise outside, a woman in her forties came quickly from the house with a smile.
Although this woman only looks about forty years old, she is nearly a hundred years old, more than ten years older than Lin Lu's grandfather.
Lin Lu looked at the woman's appearance and thought to himself that this must be the senior Nangong Ling. He is a hundred years old, but he only looks about forty years old. He is a successful practitioner and a god.
Lin Lu quickly knelt down on one knee, raised his hands and said respectfully, "Junior Lin Lu, pay your respects to Senior Nangong!"
Nangong Ling hurriedly helped Lin Lu up, rolled his eyes at the old farmer, and scolded him like a prophet, "You damn old man, you are a long time old, and our family's old sesame seeds and rotten millet things are brushed off by others when we meet.
Not afraid of Xiaoyou Lin’s jokes.”
When the old farmer heard his wife's reproach, he explained tremblingly,
"Ma'am, don't be surprised. Little friend Lin is also a native of our Tianluo country. He was wrongfully consigned to slavery, and then he left his country far away. He can't be considered an outsider."
Nangong Ling and Han Mo had no children, so they lived alone in this valley and had no interest in life.
Nangong Ling was also very happy to see Lin Lu, a friend from her hometown.
Seeing that his clothes were thin, his face was full of slave marks, and he looked tired, Nangong Ling's eyes were full of love and care.
Nangong Ling hurriedly took his hand, looked at Lin Lu's thin appearance, and said eagerly,
"Lu'er, it's windy outside, come inside and sit down."
Nangong Ling pulled Lin Lu up and walked into the house without even looking at Han Mo, leaving the little old man alone to enjoy the cold wind.
"Lu'er, you must have suffered a lot along the way. This damn Tianluo Sect is doing all the evil!"
"When you arrive at Auntie's Qinggu, it's like you're at your own home. Don't be constrained by your birth status, you know, otherwise Auntie will be angry!"
"You must be hungry after walking such a long way. Auntie will prepare something delicious for you right away."
Nangong Ling asked Lin Lu to sit down and poured him another cup of tea to quench his thirst.
Then, he turned to the kitchen next door and started cooking.
Not long after, a burst of aroma came from the kitchen, and Jinbao immediately woke up from his sleep and looked around, trying to find it.
Lin Lu hurriedly took Jinbao into his arms. It was his first time visiting the two seniors' home, so he couldn't let Jinbao, a foodie, mess around.
"Jinbao, don't run around, don't be rude in front of the two seniors!"
Lin Lu glared at Jinbao and warned, Jinbao seemed to understand what Lin Lu meant and stayed obediently in Lin Lu's arms.
One person and one mouse just sat there obediently.
Not long after, Old Man Han came in carrying a big carp, gestured towards the forest road, and said enthusiastically,
"Little friend Lin, I just went to the lake to catch a big carp. When the time comes, please make sure to have a taste of it, little friend Lin."
"Uncle Han, you are so polite. It's such a cold day, and Lin Lu is really grateful to you for troublesome Uncle Han for working so hard!"
Lin Lu hurriedly stood up and thanked him, feeling moved in his heart. The two seniors regarded him as their nephew.
Thinking of Senior Nangong calling himself aunt, Lin Lu changed the name of Han Mo to Uncle Han.
It has to be said that after Lin Lu experienced the incident with the little fox, his thoughts became more delicate and cautious.
Soon, the table was filled with various dishes. Except for the carp soup, the other dishes were all vegetarian.
"Lu'er, the food here is a bit simple, so you have to make do with it first to see if it suits your appetite."
Later, Nangong Ling gave Lin Lu and Jin Bao each a bowl of rice.
"Thank you Aunt Nangong for your generous hospitality!"
Lin Lu wanted to stand up and bow to express his thanks, but Nangong Ling quickly stretched out his hand to stop him.
Lin Lu was already hungry at this time. He picked up his chopsticks and was about to start eating, when the big carp on the table was already fished away by Jinbao's paw...
Lin Lu had no choice but to start eating the rice. The rice was really fragrant. After eating it, there was still a slight flow of air rising in his stomach. He felt that his whole body felt much more refreshed.
Lin Lu took another bite of food with great anticipation.
Why is this...dish...so...salty...?
Lin Lu hurriedly took a few mouthfuls of rice to neutralize the salty taste.
Nangong Ling saw that Lin Lu only took a bite of vegetables and was only focused on pulling rice. He thought Lin Lu was embarrassed to pick up the food, so he picked up the chopsticks, picked up a lot of vegetables and piled them on Lin Lu's rice bowl, and said enthusiastically,
"Lu'er, don't be polite when you come to Auntie's place, just feel free to eat."
Nangong Ling and Han Mo have been cultivating immortals for many years. In addition to eating spiritual rice and fresh fruits, they rarely cook over a fire. It is common sense that their cooking skills are unfamiliar.
Lin Lu stole a glance at Uncle Han. Uncle Han looked calm as if his eyes were watching his nose and his nose was watching his mouth. He was probably aware that his wife's cooking skills were limited, but he didn't dare to say so.
Lin Lu saw that Jin Bao ate carp so deliciously, and thought that the carp soup should be made. He picked up the spoon and took a sip of the soup, and carefully put it into his mouth. This... soup...
..Why...didn't...put salt...?
Lin Lu then thought about it,
“Whether it’s good or not, one is strong or the other is light, and paired with this fragrant rice, it’s still delicious!”
After making up his mind, Lin Lu took a sip of soup, a sip of vegetables, and a sip of rice. He ate and drank all the four side dishes and crucian carp soup on the table. After eating two more bowls of rice, he rubbed his belly with satisfaction.
.
“So full!”
This is the only full meal Lin Lu has had in more than a year, although the taste is a bit hard to describe.
While Lin Lu was eating, Nangong Ling had already tidied up the room in the attic on the second floor.
After Lin Lu finished eating, Old Man Han wisely put away the dishes, washed the pot and washed the dishes. After the foodie Jinbao finished eating the big carp, he fell asleep on the spot, snoring everywhere!
Nangong Ling held Lin Lu's hand with a smile and walked along the lake.
At this time, the morning sun is rising, and the orange-red sunlight shines diagonally into the valley across the peaks. The mountains, rocks, pine forests, and mist are all divided into warm and cold colors, creating a wonderful scene of "half river and half river red"
.
Lin Lu looked up at the scene, thinking that if he also had an emerald-leaf magic weapon, he could fly into the air and shuttle back and forth among the warm and cold scenery. That would be extremely interesting!
"Aunt Nangong, do you know a purple-haired girl? She also has two fox ears on her head. She looks like a human but not like a human. She alternates between a boy and a girl. It's very scary."
Lin Lu had been hiding this question in his mind because Uncle Han only appeared after the purple-haired girl threw a strange piece of paper into the morning mist.
"Lu'er, what's the name of that mole friend next to you?"
Nangong Ling did not answer directly, but asked Lin Lu instead.
"It's called Jinbao, and I've been acquainted with it for eight years, and it's the best friend!"
"Lu'er, you have just stepped into the world of immortality, and you may not know much about many things.
In this world, in addition to us humans who can cultivate to become immortals, many small animals can also cultivate to become immortals.
For example, your friend Jinbao is a spiritual beast that can cultivate into an immortal.
When Jinbao reaches a certain level of cultivation, he can also turn into a human form, just like us humans, and then you can talk about anything.
The purple-haired girl you mentioned should be Linghu Bing,
Living in the mountains nearby, there is a little fox that has just transformed, and has not completely shed its animal form, so it only has two fox ears on its head.
This little fox is naughty and mischievous. She likes to use illusions to transform into other people and play tricks on them. She is not bad-hearted. If you are afraid, just stay away from her next time."
Nangong Ling patiently explained to Lin Lu.
Lin Lu thought about the suffering he and Jinbao had suffered at the hands of Linghu Bing. If this was what Aunt Nangong said about being "good-hearted", then Linghu Bing must have used some magic to confuse Aunt Nangong's mind.
.
It seems that I have to stay as far away from this Linghu Bing as possible in the future. If I am bullied by her, I, Lin Lu, will have nowhere to complain.
"Aunt Nangong, can I ask you something?" Lin Lu stopped, thought for a while, then looked up at Nangong Ling with determination, and said slowly,
"Tell me about it. As long as Aunt Nangong can do it, she will definitely do it for you." Nangong Ling did not dare to be too boastful. She smiled at Lin Lu and replied sincerely,
"Aunt Nangong, can you use magic to remove the mark on my face? I want to find my family."
"This matter is quite simple. Auntie will prepare some scar removal ointment for you later and apply it every day. After a year and a half, the branding should be gone. Your Uncle Han also used these ointments to remove the scarring.
.”
"Lu'er, you want to find your family, do you know where your family is?" Nangong Ling asked with concern.
Lin Lu was stunned, lowered his head, and shook his head in confusion.
"Since you don't know where your family is, Tianluo Kingdom is so big, where are you going to find them?" Nangong Ling added.
When Lin Lujing was reminded by Nangong Ling, he felt a little disappointed. He used to only think about finding his family, but where could he find them in this vast sea of people?
Nangong Ling patted his back gently, squatted down, looked at Lin Lu tenderly, and comforted him softly,
"Lu'er, don't be anxious. You can stay at Auntie's place with peace of mind and take good care of your body. After a year and a half, and the mark on your face has faded, it won't be too late to go look for you. Your family will see you then.
If you grow taller and stronger, they will also be happy for you, don't you think so?"
Lin Lu lowered his head and sighed in his heart. The world is so big that there is no place for Lin Lu. Even if he goes to other six countries, the slaves of the Three Seals are still treated like pigs and dogs, let alone looking for any family.
Already.
"Aunt Nangong, Lin Lu will cause a lot of trouble in the future. Jinbao and I are both children. If there is anything we do wrong, feel free to punish her." Lin Lu saluted Nangong Ling sincerely.
"Luer, you are willing to stay with Aunt Nangong and Uncle Han, which is also a blessing to us two old men Fengzhu. If you are really naughty, Aunt Nangong and Uncle Han will also discipline you for your parents!" This chapter has been completed!
