Wei Yan's house is a bit shabby, and the courtyard door does not face the main street. In this era, without a certain net worth, the door is not qualified to open to the main street.
In the alley at the entrance, the muddy soil has covered most of the bluestones that were originally paved, making it look more like a dirt road.
The earthen walls on both sides of the courtyard gate are not as high as the courtyard gate. If you are taller, you can see the situation inside the courtyard at a glance.
The old courtyard door is occasionally blown by the wind and makes a creaking sound. If it is at night, it must be particularly intrusive.
"Madam, I'm back." Wei Yan pushed open the door with a chicken and two bags of medicine. He looked at his wife lying on the bed, closed the door silently, and went to the stove to light a fire to prepare the medicine.
The wife's eyes moved, and she looked at Wei Yan with a somewhat distressed look.
"Yesterday I helped a young man from outside. Although I didn't fight much, he gave me some money." Wei Yan babbled while plucking the feathers of the chicken skillfully: "That young man is really good-looking, not like
Apart from Madam, most of the women with my appearance like this will not fall in love with me. Zhang Xiu has no ability to recognize people. I’m afraid I won’t be able to stay in Wancheng any longer. When Madam gets better in a few days, I will take Madam with me.
When I went to Jingzhou, I heard that Mr. Zhongjing went to Changsha to be the governor. If we go there, we might be able to ask him to treat my wife."
Just as he was talking, Wei Yan's ears twitched, he stood up suddenly, and looked outside the door. He saw a man named Pao Ze leading Chu Nan outside the courtyard door. When Wei Yan looked at him, Chu Nan smiled and clasped his fists and said, "General Wei."
"Mr. Ziyan?" Wei Yan looked at Chu Nan with some confusion, put down his work and came out.
"Brother Wei, the military advisor asked me to bring you here. I have something to do in the army, so I'll leave first." The soldier greeted Wei Yan, then saluted Chu Nan and bowed to leave.
"I am only a general, so how can I be called a general?" Wei Yan smiled bitterly, saluted Chu Nan, introduced Chu Nan into the main hall, and asked, "I wonder why you are here, sir?"
"Come here for the general." Chu Nan sat down, looked around, and said to Wei Yan: "I can see that General Wei is very capable. Even if he has no military merits yet, he should never be just a general. The general can
Have you ever thought about finding another way out?"
Looking for another way out?
Wei Yan glanced at Chu Nan strangely. If he remembered correctly, Chu Nan came here on behalf of Lu Bu, right? Was he asking himself to defect to Lu Bu?
Although Wei Yan is young, he has some experience. Lu Bu's reputation does not seem to be related to that of Mingzhu.
"I am just a general in the army. My husband fell in love with me by mistake. I am deeply grateful. However, I miss my homeland and cannot bear to stay away." Wei Yan politely declined Chu Nan's invitation.
It’s really simple!
Chu Nan rubbed his temples. Sure enough, with Lu Bu's reputation, it is indeed difficult to recruit powerful talents, but no matter how difficult it is, it still needs to be done.
"I heard before coming here that the general is also the queen of the general family. However, the inheritance has been passed down for a long time. By the general's generation, it is no longer considered a noble family, not even powerful." Chu Nan thought.
As long as he had a slight background, Wei Yan's ability would not make him a garrison general for Zhang Xiu. When he came, he had already inquired about the reason why Wei Yan was suppressed by Hu Che'er in the army... Wei Yan was young and energetic at the time, and felt that
Hu Che'er was wrong and pointed it out directly, and was punished by Hu Che'er. The result turned out to be exactly what Wei Yan said, but he was not reused as expected. Instead, after that, he was denied all promotion opportunities.
After all, Hu Che'er was Zhang Xiu's confidant, but Wei Yan was just a military commander. Zhang Xiu didn't even know that Wei Yan existed.
Without waiting for Wei Yan to reply, Chu Nan smiled and said: "I probably know the reason for the general's refusal. Let's not say whether my lord is a Ming lord, but I dare to say that Xuzhou is the most suitable general now."
"Sir, what do you mean by this?" Wei Yan looked at Chu Nan in confusion.
"Where are you from? Nowadays, most of the princes in the world have to recommend people. If no one recommends them, the general will not even have a chance to display his talent. However, Xuzhou is now short of people. Secondly, I am still a bit thin-faced, but
To help the general, don’t worry about whether my lord is a wise master or not, but at least Xuzhou has an opportunity for the general to display his talent. Only when his talent is put to use can he have a reputation. Once he has a reputation, the general will choose another wise master in the future.
You can also know the talents of generals." Chu Nan smiled.
Regardless of whether he is sincere or not, he came here to work first. Now Chu Nan's biggest goal is to survive this life-and-death disaster and find more talents.
As for whether Lu Bu can control it for a long time, it is not considered for the time being.
There was a flash of hesitation in Wei Yan's eyes, but he finally shook his head: "Maybe sir is right, but as for me, there is a reason why I cannot leave."
Chu Nan frowned slightly. He just noticed that Wei Yan was a little moved. What was the reason why he didn't want to leave here?
"Can you make it clear?" Chu Nan sighed, a little unwillingly.
"My humble wife is suffering from a strange disease and is unable to walk. She is going to Xuzhou, which is thousands of miles away. If she really goes, I'm afraid..." Wei Yan shook his head at the end and said no more, but the meaning was already clear.
Chu Nan was a little disappointed when he heard this. You can't let a man abandon his wife and children to fight for your career, right? There are indeed similar things in this era, and they are even said to be good stories. But judging from Chu Nan's values, Wei Yan's kind of
The way he did it made him more satisfied.
"That's all." Chu Nan smiled and said, "Let's just leave this matter undisclosed."
"Thank you for your understanding, sir." Wei Yan cupped his fists and said, "I would also like to see you more respectfully, sir."
Chu Nan waved his hand: "Sister-in-law, could you please come and see me?"
He still holds on to the last glimmer of hope in his heart, maybe he can cure the other party? Ordinary people only need 10,000 luck to upgrade. Although he doesn't have much luck now, he still has 10,000.
Wei Yan nodded and took Chu Nan to the next room. The smell of medicine could be smelled in the yard. After entering the door, the smell suddenly became several times stronger.
It was summer, but there was a fire in the room.
The room is relatively large. In addition to the bed, there is also a stove here. There are only two rooms in the entire courtyard, one for guests and the other for this.
"Madam, this is Mr. Chu that I just mentioned to you." Wei Yan smiled at the woman on the bed, and that old face showed a smile for the first time. It was not very pretty, but it was quite contagious.
The woman's face was haggard, her hair was yellow, and her complexion was dull. Even a person like Chu Nan, who did not know medical skills, could tell that the woman was in extremely poor condition.
Seeing Chu Nan, the woman nodded slightly, but this movement seemed to have exhausted all her strength.
"Madam, there is no need to be polite." Chu Nan said politely, "I have just met Wen Chang for the first time, so I came here to visit you. I apologize for any inconvenience, madam."
The woman made no further movements, but her eyes conveyed a feeling of goodwill. They were eyes that seemed to be able to speak.
"What disease does Madam have?" Chu Nan looked at Wei Yan.
"I have visited many famous doctors, but they only said that the foundation has been damaged, the medicine and stones are ineffective, and the internal organs have failed. I can only take some medicine to strengthen the foundation and strengthen the body to survive. But now these medicines seem to be ineffective. My wife's health is getting worse day by day. Weak, those quack doctors!" When Wei Yan said this, his eyes turned red.
After a long time, Wei Yan sniffed, looked at Chu Nan and said: "My wife is from a well-known family. She has never had a good life after joining me. At first, I only wanted to get ahead and practice martial arts and military skills every day. Madam, for the sake of giving up, I feel at ease, I have done everything at home, but I don’t know how to cherish it. It was only later when I fell ill that I realized that my wife was in bad health. If Wei Yan is ashamed of himself in this life, she is the only one who deserves it. No matter what, I will never abandon my wife."
It is a very plain story, there is no vigorous love, there is just a woman who does her best to take care of the housework for her husband, but in the end she is exhausted, but it is the relationship that Chu Nan envies the most.
Chu Nan looked at the woman and thought:
Lee
destiny 2
Fate: Fan
Talent: Internal Helper (Level 5) (After getting married, the husband's practice speed can be increased by 25%, and there is a certain chance of helping the husband break through the shackles of talent)
longevity 1
God 38, Essence 3, Qi 1
Luck 1
My destiny is over!
Chu Nan withdrew his gaze. If he didn't have the talent, he could still try to save her with luck, but the talent of his internal assistant increased the woman's worth tenfold, requiring 100,000 luck.
However, this talent is indeed worth the money. I am afraid that Wei Yan's ability today is inseparable from the help of this assistant. Unfortunately, his life is over. He only has one year left to live, and if something unexpected happens, he may be gone. .
I have a way to save your wife, but you need to go to Xuzhou with me and wait for some time.
Such rhetoric may be regarded as a liar and is completely unconvincing.
Chu Nan regretted that he used all his energy on himself last night.
I wonder if Madam’s flames have any effect on this?
Chu Nan suddenly felt something in his heart. He looked at Wei Yan and said, "My wife's talent may be of some use. General, please wait a moment. I'll be back soon."
After saying that, without waiting for Wei Yan to answer, Chu Nan ran to Zhang Xiu's residence and soon brought Lu Lingqi over.
"My inner fire can cure external injuries. This is an internal disease and is beyond my control." After Lu Lingqi looked at Mr. Li, she said to Wei Yan, her tone as cold as ever.
The light that just lit up in Wei Yan's eyes gradually dimmed, and he shook his head and said, "Thank you, madam."
"It didn't work, so don't thank me." Lu Lingqi shook her head.
Wei Yan poured the fried medicine into a bowl and was about to feed his wife to drink it. At this moment, Chu Nan suddenly said: "General, wait a moment."
Wei Yan paused when he heard this and looked at Chu Nan.
"Can you give me the medicinal soup?" Chu Nan asked.
"Is there something wrong with this medicine?" Wei Yan asked doubtfully.
Chu Nan didn't answer, his eyes fell on the medicinal soup.
Gubenpeiyuan Decoction
Talent: Strengthen the foundation and strengthen the essence (can consolidate the person's origin, warm and nourish the qi and blood, and has a certain effect on those with foundation damage, but it will lose effectiveness if taken for a long time.
Upgrading requires 1000 Luck)
Toxicity (it is a three-part poison of the medicine. If you take it for a long time, the body will be affected by the poison and cause the internal organs to fail. Upgrading requires 100 Qi Luck)
"I have a method that can enhance the properties of the medicine, but I don't know if it is effective?" Chu Nan looked at Wei Yan. No one can say for sure. Even if the medicine is more effective, what if it is completely gone without being replenished?
"Sir, wait a moment, I'll ask the doctor to come over!" Wei Yan's eyes lit up, and without saying a word, he turned around and left...
