"Cough cough", "cough cough"...
Sunken into a burst of subconscious coughing, he suddenly woke up from the bed, opened his mouth wide and took a few deep breaths, and then quickly He took out a small bottle from under the pillow, poured out a yellow pellet the size of a bean and swallowed it.
After he sat motionless on the bed for a while, feeling the tightness and coldness in his chest gradually subsided, he breathed a sigh of relief.
After Shen Luo smiled bitterly, he slowly put on the clothes neatly folded on the chair next to him, and then glanced at the desk in the corner out of habit.
On the table lies a pale yellow shabby book, with "Chunhua Strange News" written in five neat small black characters on the surface.
Shen Luo frowned, then looked away, slowly opened the door and walked out of the house.
"Young Master."
There was a young man in green clothes who looked about twelve or thirteen years old standing guard outside the door. When he saw Shen Luo coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet her.
In the distance, there are a large and continuous group of houses with red tiles and white walls. The total number of houses of various sizes is forty or fifty.
"How many times did I cough last night? Is there any other movement?" Shen Luo glanced at the boy and asked lightly.
"My eldest son, you coughed thirteen times last night, but there was no other sound." The young man replied with some dark bags under his eyes, feeling vaguely afraid of Shen Luo.
Shen Luo nodded and walked straight past the boy without asking any more questions.
The young man in green clothes followed closely behind him.
After Shenluo walked through several long corridors and a garden covering an area of acres, he walked to a building that looked like a main hall.
The two maids standing in front of the hall saw him and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, looking equally afraid of Shen Luo.
"Luo'er, you're here. How was your rest last night? Come in quickly and drink some ginseng soup. I asked my servants to cook it for you just now." A man came from the hall. Concerned voice.
"My dear father, I'm thinking of you. My child had a good rest last night." Shen Luo's expression moved slightly and he replied before walking into the hall.
I saw a round table filled with delicacies in the hall. Several people were sitting around it. The person in charge was a middle-aged man in his forties with slightly gray hair. , a bit like premature aging.
The middle-aged man is Shen Yuange, Shen Luo's father, and he is looking at Shen Luo happily at this moment.
"Brother Luo, wake up! Xiao Cui, hurry up and serve the ginseng soup. Didn't you hear the master's instructions?" A beautiful woman with pearls and green hair next to Shen Yuange reluctantly saw Shen Luo. Show a smile.
"Thank you for your help."
Shen Luo nodded to the woman lukewarmly.
"Brother."
"Brother."
A boy and a girl next to the woman also stood up and said hello to Shen Luo. , they are about fourteen or fifteen years old, and their faces are somewhat similar to Shen Luo's.His half-brothers and sisters are named Shen Ci and Shen Mumu.
The two were born from the same child, but their reactions to Shenluo were very different at this moment.
My younger brother Shen Ci looked at Shen Luo with evasive eyes, and his expressions were somewhat similar to those of the servants.
After saying hello, the younger sister Shen Mumu looked like a restless and curious baby. She seemed to want to ask the eldest brother Shen Luo something, but she looked at Shen Yuange beside him and hesitated.
She sank into her seat, drank the ginseng soup the maid held, and after eating a few mouthfuls of food, she frowned, put down her chopsticks, and stopped eating.
"Luo'er, since you've finished eating, come to the study with me. I have some business matters to tell you." Seeing this, Shen Yuange became even more worried and said this.
Shen Luo nodded, said goodbye to the woman, and followed Shen Yuange out of the hall.
The woman looked a little ugly when she saw this scene.
Shen Ci could not hide the envy on his face, but Shen Mumu pouted her red lips, very dissatisfied that her father and "eldest brother" Shen Luo finished eating and left so quickly.
......
"Luo'er, were you really okay last night?" Shen Yuange asked Shen Luo with concern as soon as he sat down in the middle of the study.
"Father, please rest assured. Last night was really okay, and that 'thing' didn't happen again. It's just that my body has gotten worse. Even with the 'Golden Fragrance Jade' I personally prepared, I'm afraid I won't be able to last much longer." Nian, this body cannot be cured by ordinary medicinal stones." Shen Luo shook his head and replied.
"Hey, Luo'er, you are really sick and prone to disasters. Originally, your mother had a fetal abnormality when she was pregnant with you, which made you weak and sick since you were a child. But last year, you encountered evil spirits again, and that's why you ended up like this. The root of the disease is serious. If there is an emergency, how can I go to see your mother? I personally promised your mother that I would take good care of you." Shen Yuange sighed, with a trace of pain on his face.
"Father, I need to think about the good things. If I hadn't been sick for a long time and became a doctor, and formulated several pills such as 'Jinxiangyu', how could the Shen family have created such a big family business. Our family also It's a blessing in disguise," Shen Luo said with a smile.
"That's true. When it comes to Shen Family Medical Center and Shen Family Pharmacy Store in Chunhua County, everyone knows about it. Even the county magistrate, Mr. Wang, now takes a high look at our Shen Family." Shen Yuange After hearing this, I felt slightly refreshed.
"That's because my father is a good man. He gave Mr. Wang a bottle of golden fragrant jade and cured his only son's tuberculosis. Otherwise, with the current wealth of our Shen family, we would have encountered some troubles long ago. ." Shen Luo flattered his father calmly.
"Haha, it is only through the cooperation of you and me that we can create such a big business for the Shen family. It is a pity that you are unwilling to become famous, so I have to attribute the preparation of these pills to On the ancient side that I accidentally discovered. Only you and I know about this, and I haven’t even revealed anything about it to your second mother and sister-in-law. So, if there is anything wrong with the second mother.I still hope that for the sake of my father's sake, I won't take it too seriously. After all, your mother-in-law comes from a small family, with long hair and short knowledge. "Shen Yuange laughed happily at first, then thought of something and said hesitantly.
"Father, how can I take Er Niang's matter to my heart? Besides, if I am gone, the Shen family will still need their second brother to support me. My biggest wish now is to get rid of evil spirits from my body. Otherwise, I might be dead within a few years. "After Shen Luo was silent for a moment, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"If you say that, I feel relieved. No matter what, all is well with the family. How is your health now? I remember your last attack was seven days ago. "Shen Yuange looked relieved when he heard this, but immediately asked worriedly.
"Yes, the last time I had an attack, I almost strangled that Huang Taixian to death. Last year, the golden monk who claimed to be a golden Arhat descended to earth was also beaten to death by me after I had an attack. They have no magic at all and are completely charlatans. "Shen Luo replied bitterly, his face darkening.
"But Huang Taixian and Monk Jinguang are already the most famous exorcists in nearby counties. Others are even more deceitful. Otherwise, my father will send someone to the city to look for it. "Shen Yuange was a little helpless after hearing this.
"No need. Firstly, the city is too far away, and secondly, how can I find an exorcist when I am unfamiliar with the place? Even if he is found, he is most likely a liar from Wong Tai Sin and his ilk. I'm having attacks faster and faster now, and I can't wait any longer. "Shen Luo refused without hesitation.
"What Luo'er means is..." Shen Yuange, who knew his eldest son quite well, was a little surprised.
