Chapter 689: Doctor Liu (1)
Except for Liu Yingzi who lowered her head, everyone looked at Chu Xiaomu and Yu Aqi who dismounted from their horses with a smile.
A woman said, "Yingzi, why are there two of you? Which one is your lover?"
An old man with a white beard stroked his beard and said, "I think both of them are very good. Yes, Yingzi's vision is indeed good."
When the others heard this, they all burst into laughter.
Chu Xiaomu had never seen such a scene since he was a child. After being gently pushed by Aqi, he had no choice but to go forward. He thought that Liu Yingzi invited him to be a guest, but he didn't know that there were so many people in their family. It was obvious that they invited Aqi to meet their family.
Grandma said a lot of auspicious words while hanging a piece of white silk around Chu and Yu's necks respectively. Liu Yingzi's mother took a handful of grass leaves and swept their clothes up and down.
Fortunately, Chu Xiaomu had changed into a new Bicheng military uniform today. If he had been wearing dirty and tattered clothes, he would have had to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Liu Chenggui toasted each of them with a cup of goat's milk and kept saying "welcome, welcome".
A man who looked somewhat similar to Liu Chenggui and a few years older said, "Yingzi, didn't you say there were three? Where's the other one?"
Liu Yingzi immediately looked at Aqi and asked, "Yu Aqi, where is Miss Xiaoying?"
Ah Qi pointed to the hillside behind and said, "Xiaoying saw the beautiful flowers there and went to play there. She will be here soon."
Everyone exclaimed, with a look of sudden enlightenment.
The little boy was Liu Yingzi's younger brother, named Liu Huzi. He ran to Aqi, pulled his clothes and said, "Brother Aqi, where is the gun you said you would give me this time?" He circled around him twice, but couldn't see where the gun was.
Ah Qi was so shocked that he had forgotten about it. He could only say, "Didn't I tell you that I would bring it to you next time, not this time."
Liu Huzi said: "You are talking about this time, not next time!"
Aqi said, "Hu Zi, next time is next time, this time is this time, the words are different." After hearing this, everyone laughed again.
Liu Huzi's brain couldn't think so many tricks, and he said angrily: "Hmph, I think you are a liar!" He glared at him fiercely, and ran away sulking.
It was almost noon at this time, and Liu Chenggui let Yu Aqi and Chu Xiaomu into the tent.
In the middle of the tent was a thick, cleanly washed woolen blanket with a strange pattern. In the middle of the blanket was a roasted whole lamb, and around it were dry biscuits, crispy balls, milk slices and other food. Chu Xiaomu hadn't eaten the special food of Bicheng for a long time, and couldn't help drooling.
What surprised him was that at the innermost end of the felt carpet sat a haggard old man who looked to be about a hundred years old. Perhaps because of his difficulty walking, he did not come out to greet him.
Ah Qi whispered in Chu Xiaomu's ear: "This is the spiritual doctor from Liucao Village. His surname is also Liu. It is said that he has lived for more than 200 years."
Chu Xiaomu couldn't help but be very surprised. He thought that it was difficult for ordinary people to live to eighty, but this old man could actually live to over two hundred years old. He didn't know what kind of spiritual fruit or spiritual object he ate or what kind of martial arts he practiced.
Doctor Liu Ling closed her eyes slightly and mumbled some strange notes, but Chu Xiaomu couldn't understand a word of it.
Liu Chenggui knew that Chu Xiaomu was here for the first time, so he introduced everyone. Most of the people invited here were from the Liu family, and there were two or three people with the surname Mei. Chu Xiaomu had heard from Aqi that Mei Dengzi was also from this village, and he couldn't help laughing when he thought of his name.
The man who looked somewhat similar to Liu Chenggui was his elder brother, Liu Yingzi's uncle Liu Chengguang. Chu Xiaomu also remembered that he had heard of him from Gao Tinggeng.
Doctor Liu Ling suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Isn't this friend named Chu from Bicheng too?" His voice sounded like sawing rotten wood, very unpleasant.
Chu Xiaomu answered truthfully that he was from Baihua Island in the West Sea. There was no need for him to hide his identity from these honest villagers.
Doctor Liu said, "The West Sea is the territory of Lanming Country, but you are from Cangmu Country just like us."
Chu Xiaomu had no choice but to say, "My ancestors encountered storms when they went out to sea and were blown there by the wind and waves. They have been settled there ever since. Therefore, we are considered the Cangmu people living in Lanming Country."
Everyone nodded quickly and said that this was the case.
Doctor Liu Ling was not moved by his words, but said: "As far as I know, there was indeed a group of people who went to the West Sea that year, led by a fairy spirit king. And among this group of people was a general, also named Chu..."
Chu Xiaomu smiled but didn't answer. He thought to himself that since you have guessed it, it's up to you. But although this matter is magical, it's actually nothing big. Everyone in Cangmu Country knows that there are spirits in the world, and General Bi Ye is a very powerful spirit king.
But he said that the leader was also a spirit king, so he must be the flower fairy sister. She was so delicate and gentle, who would have thought that she was a spirit king!
