Chapter 011 Golden Ringo (Part 2)
Tianbo Yang Mansion, in the inner hall.
Yang Jinhua sat on a small round stool and fanned herself with a small white round fan.
It's just that when the ladies used the small round fans, they waved them gently with slow and graceful movements; while Yang Jinhua, on the other hand, fanned them vigorously with a "bang bang" sound, and the small round fan made of translucent silk was twisted so much that it was slightly deformed.
"Old lady, and mother, let me tell you, the courtyard is extremely cool, and even under the scorching sun, it feel hot, it's really magical." Yang Jinhua was excitedly talking about what she saw at noon: "The wooden building is extremely strange, it is actually made of wooden blocks stacked up one by one. According to the construction method, the building will definitely fall apart, but it is intact."
The old lady listened with great interest. Her face was sallow and she had been ill for a long time.
We couldn't find out what the disease was, I just felt unwell.
The government also sent an imperial physician to help with the diagnosis, but the physician simply said that the man was old and weak, and that he should rest more and replenish his energy, and there was nothing else that could be done.
But the hidden meaning was actually understood by everyone who listened.
She seemed to be feeling better today, so she got up and went out to sit and walk around.
After Yang Jinhua finished speaking, the old lady nodded slightly and said, "It sounds like he is indeed a very capable person. We have an advantage by forming a good relationship with him, but the most important thing in interpersonal relationships is the word 'interaction'. We need to interact more with Lu Xiaolang in the future."
When Lu Sen and Yang Jinhua went down the mountain together at noon, they had already told each other their names.
Mu Guiying was embroidering a red peony flower nearby. She was very skilled in spear and sword skills, so she was also good at embroidery: "Don't worry, old lady. The young man is handsome. My young lady will definitely visit him often."
Upon hearing this, Yang Jinhua became annoyed, her face red with anger: "Mother, your words are so awkward, how can you make your daughter sound like a fool who only knows how to look at men's appearance."
"Haha, who hasn't had a youthful age?" Mu Guiying rolled her eyes at her little daughter in annoyance, her needlework in her hands not stopping, and said with a smile: "Back then, your father was seriously injured and unconscious at the foot of the mountain. Do you think I wanted to save him? It was because he was handsome that I caught my eye. Otherwise, I wouldn't care whether he lived or died!"
Yang Jinhua was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth.
The old lady laughed loudly and was very happy.
After a long while, Yang Jinhua was so angry that she crushed the small round fan: "My daughter is not that kind of person."
"Isn't it?" Mu Guiying blinked her beautiful eyes, her eyebrows moving. Although she was nearly forty years old, she was still charming and attractive. "Last month, the youngest son of the Cao family brought the best cosmetics to please you, but you ended up hitting his monkey face into a pig face. From what you and Lao Qi said, this skilled magician Lu Xiaolang should not say a word to you, but you have been talking about his goodness these past two days. You treat people differently like this, and you still say that you don't judge people by their appearance?"
"Mother!"
Yang Jinhua was so angry that she jumped up from the stool and her face turned even redder.
Angry.
Annoyed.
Just when Yang Jinhua wanted to leave in shame and anger, Uncle Qi rushed in from outside.
In an inner hall like this, apart from trusted servants, only the family soldiers can enter and exit freely.
After he bowed to the old lady in the hall and the beautiful woman Mu Guiying, he said to Yang Jinhua: "Young lady, Lu Xiaolang's servant is outside asking to see you. He said Lu Xiaolang has an urgent matter and wants your help."
The expressions of the three women in the inner hall all changed, but they were not quite the same.
Old Lady She nodded slightly, and Mu Guiying seemed to be thinking about something.
Yang Jinhua was delighted. She glanced at the two elders behind her and saw that they were silent, so she said, "Please invite him in quickly."
Lao Qi clasped his fists and walked out, and soon Heizhu was brought to the inner hall.
Generally speaking, being able to let someone enter the inner hall is a sign of high trust and sufficient closeness.
Hei Zhu came in and didn't dare to look any more. He bowed his head, bowed his hands and said, "I, Hei Zhu, greet Old Lady She, General Mu, and the young lady."
After begging in Bianjing for so many years, Heizhu had also seen the old lady and Mu Guiying on the street. After all, when important people walked on the street, there would always be a group of onlookers on the roadside to explain.
Although I couldn't get close to them, I still recognized their faces.
Yang Jinhua stood in front of Hei Zhu and asked, "Your husband is not here?"
"My husband is at home taking care of the patient." Heizhu replied immediately.
"Patient, what's going on?" Yang Jinhua was extremely curious.
The old lady and Mu Guiying behind also looked over.
Hei Zhu quickly explained the matter, then cupped his hands and said, "After the elixir is completed, I would like to give half of it to you as a token of my gratitude."
"I can understand using gold and silver as the infusion for alchemy." Yang Jinhua became more and more curious, her eyes sparkling, "But using ringo fruit... is this making pills or alchemy?"
Heizhu answered without hesitation: "My dear, you are a god-like person. You have your reasons for using the apple fruit."
That’s true!
Yang Jinhua turned her head to look at her mother, and then at Old Lady She.
She could provide half of the materials that Kurozhu mentioned ... yes, a ripe ringo fruit.
As for the eight-and-a-half ounces of gold, she had no other options.
Her monthly pocket money was only five taels of silver. The current Tianbo Yang Mansion was much poorer than before.
Mu Guiying ignored her daughter's gaze and continued to embroider the bright red peony.
Old Lady She tapped the floor with her black wooden cane and said, "Jinhua, you and Xiao Qihe go to the account office to collect eight parts and one ounce of gold. Then ride on your warhorse and hurry over there. No matter what, saving people is the most important thing."
"good."
Yang Jinhua rushed out and went back to her room to get the apple first.
Uncle Qi and Heizhu hurriedly chased after him.
The hurried footsteps quickly faded away, and soon the inner hall became quiet again.
Old Lady She suddenly coughed repeatedly. Mu Guiying put down the embroidery in her hands, went over to pat the old lady on the back, and helped her to calm down.
"With my internal energy, I think I can hold on for another two years." Old Lady She gently pressed her hand on Mu Guiying's wrist: "In two years, this family will have to rely on you. I really hope to see changes in the next two years."
"Old lady, aren't you very optimistic about this young master Lu?"
"He should indeed be considered a variable, but the power in Bianjing City is too strong. It will take him a long time to change the situation alone." Old Lady She shook her head helplessly: "But no matter what, it is beyond my expectation that Xiao Jinhua can have a good relationship with the variable."
Thinking of her little daughter, Mu Guiying smiled and said, "I hope it's another kind of good fate. The peony wedding dress will be embroidered in half a year."
Old Lady She chuckled and said, "We'll see if we're destined to be together."
On the other side, two war horses rushed out from Tianbo Yang Mansion.
Yang Jinhua held the horse reins with one hand and a blue bundle with the other.
Qi Shuyou and Hei Zhu rode on the same horse and followed closely behind .
The speed of a warhorse is naturally much faster than that of a human. In less than an incense stick of time, the three of them had reached the foot of the hill.
Then Yang Jinhua jumped off the horse in a heroic manner and shouted, "Uncle Qi, saving people is the most important thing. I'll go up first. Please help me tie up the horse."
After shouting, she picked up her small blue bag and ran up the mountain without looking back. Soon her figure disappeared into the woods.
"Saving people is more important?" Uncle Qi sighed, slowly tied up the two horses, and muttered quietly: "Girls can't be kept when they grow up."
Heizhu was helping to tie the horse rope nearby, and was somewhat puzzled when he heard this. He was a beggar with a relatively low level of education, and Uncle Qi's words were confusing and he could not understand them.
The two men hadn't even tied the reins of their horses yet, but Yang Jinhua had already run outside Lu Sen's yard carrying a small bag.
It was so fast that I didn't even break a sweat, let alone gasp for breath.
After all, she was born into a military family, practiced martial arts since she was young, and grew up drinking body-strengthening medicine. She has long been as light as a swallow, not afraid of cold or heat, and has excellent physical strength.
I estimate that even if fifty Lu Sens ran a relay race, they would not be able to outrun Yang Jinhua.
She stopped at the gate of the fence and looked inside. She saw Lu Sen standing in front of a small dark figure, looking a little anxious.
Seeing this, Yang Jinhua immediately shouted, "Lu Xiaolang , I have brought what you wanted. Can you let me in?"
At this time, Yang Jinhua's hand was in the air, and she could clearly feel that there was an invisible wall blocking her.
Lu Sen turned around and saw Yang Jinhua. He immediately gave her a temporary access permission and went to greet her: "Miss Yang, you are here so fast."
"Saving people is important, so we have to run faster." Yang Jinhua felt that the invisible wall had disappeared. She walked into the yard and raised the bundle in her hand: "Xiao Lang, everything you want is in there."
Lu Sen took the bag and said, "Thank you for your help."
Then he quickly returned to the little girl on the ground and used his fingers to check her breath.
It became even weaker and almost inaudible.
Lu Sen quickly opened the bag, took out the apples and eight pieces of gold, and placed them on the ground.
While Yang Jinhua was taking the time to watch Lu Sen's movements, she reached out to check the little girl's breath, then felt her pulse at her wrist to confirm that she was really about to die.
People who practice martial arts all understand basic medical knowledge, especially the Yang family, which has inherited the knowledge from both the father and mother sides, and their medical knowledge is much better than that of ordinary doctors.
In her opinion, the little girl was hanging on by a thread.
She looked closely at the little girl's face and body and realized that she had been in poor health for a long time. Her hands were so thin and fleshless, like toothpicks, and her energy was extremely weak.
After injuring his waist, he was thrown into the scorching sun by his family. His physical constitution was extremely weak and his vital energy was insufficient. After being exposed to the sun for a while, he suffered from Yang heat stroke. The Yang energy was disordered and the Yin energy was not generated. Not only was the Qi in his body weak, but it was also messed up. He had already stepped half a foot into the gates of hell.
In this case, ordinary doctors cannot cure it.
If the imperial physicians in the palace use silver needles to treat the patient and also prescribe some powerful qi-boosting medicine, the patient should be able to be saved.
But...how could the imperial physician in the palace help a little beggar?
What's more, things that can replenish qi are extremely rare. Not to mention dignitaries, even officials have to use them sparingly.
There are many energy-replenishing things on the market that are priceless. Even when my own mother was seriously ill, she only got a 300-year-old Liaodong ginseng given by the government, which has now been used up.
According to common sense, this little girl is beyond saving.
But... Yang Jinhua looked at Lu Sen with her charming peach blossom eyes. She felt that this handsome Lu Xiaolang might be able to do what no one else could do and pull the little girl back from the brink of death!
After all, he is a man of great skill.
Lu Sen ignored Yang Jinhua beside him, and didn't have time to pay attention to her.
He placed eight pieces of gold weighing one ounce each in eight directions, and then placed the green and red apples in the middle of the gold.
Then start the food synthesis function!
His hands emitted a light golden glow, with a little bit of light dust falling down, which looked quite beautiful even in broad daylight.
There was a strange light in Yang Jinhua's eyes. She gently covered her mouth, fearing that she would scream and affect Lu Sen's practice.
The gold on the ground was affected by the golden light and turned into golden rays that sank into the apple.
Then the apple grew a circle bigger and turned into a translucent light gold color. It was crystal clear and emitted a faint golden light, like a divine object.
"so beautiful."
Looking at Ringo, who looked like golden glass, Yang Jinhua's eyes sparkled with color and she couldn't help but let out a soft cry.
Lu Sen turned his head and asked her: "Miss Yang, do you have a weapon?"
"Yes." Yang Jinhua reached behind her waist and took out a short blade with a black leather sheath.
Lu Sen took the dagger, which still had the warmth of Yang Jinhua's body on it.
But Lu Sen didn't think too much. He pulled out the knife and cut the golden ringo in the middle, splitting it in half.
"ah!"
Yang Jinhua felt very sorry that the golden glazed apple, which was like a work of art, was cut into two halves, which made her feel like a waste of such a gift.
Lu Sen gave half to Yang Jinhua and cut the other half into several portions with a short knife.
Then he picked up a piece of fruit flesh that was as crisp and elastic as golden jelly, pinched open the unconscious little girl's mouth, and stuffed it in.
"It's such a big piece, she can't chew it up and swallow it." Yang Jinhua asked in a low voice: "Do you want me to find a way to mash it up?"
"No need." Lu Sen pointed at the little girl's mouth: "Look."
Yang Jinhua looked over and saw the translucent light golden fruit flesh in the little girl's mouth gradually turning into juice and flowing into the little girl's throat.
"That's amazing, but is it effective?" Yang Jinhua watched quietly.
Lu Sen waited until the fruit pulp turned into juice, then put another piece in.
In this way, about two minutes later, half of the golden apple was in the little girl's mouth.
During this process, Yang Jinhua's expression became more and more surprised.
Her hand was still on the pulse of the little girl's wrist.
Every time a piece of fruit pulp went down her throat, the little girl's pulse would become stronger. After eating half a golden apple, the little girl's pulse was strong, just like that of an ordinary person, or even stronger than that of an ordinary person.
More importantly, the little girl opened her eyes at this time, although she still looked a little confused.
The man was really rescued from the gates of hell!
Moreover, his Qi is vigorous, as if he had never been sick.
She estimated that the little girl's back injury had healed.
“A magical medicine!” Yang Jinhua’s peach blossom eyes widened into almond blossom eyes again. She looked at the half of Ringo in her hand that was still emitting light: “Lu Xiaolang, is this half for me?”
She didn't want to be greedy for the half of the pill that Lu Sen promised her before, and just regarded it as another good deed. But after seeing the horrific effect of this thing, she wanted it.
Not for myself, but for the old lady.
The old lady has been ill for more than two years now. Although she is still holding on, it is estimated that she can only hold on for two more years at most.
If I had this golden ringo...it should be able to cure the disease.
"We agreed before, it's yours."
Lu Sen wiped the sweat off his face. He looked a little surprised at this moment, because in the system formula bar, the item "Golden Apple" dimmed, and there was a digital countdown behind it.
He looked carefully and saw that it was a year.
In other words, only one golden apple can be made per year?
Is there a cooldown time for crafting high-level items?
But now is not the time to think about this. There will be plenty of opportunities to test it later. After all, there are a lot of high-level items in the system formula.
Lu Sen came back to his senses and continued to say to Yang Jinhua: "This golden ringo has been broken open, and the medicinal effect cannot be retained for too long. It is best to eat it today. In addition... when you go back, it is best to wrap this thing tightly to prevent outsiders from seeing it. Finally... don't tell others that nothing happened with this golden ringo, understand?"
Yang Jinhua nodded repeatedly. Now she would agree to whatever Lu Sen said, as long as it was not too excessive.
She wanted to take half of the golden apple back to the old lady right now.
