I'm in the world of Xianjian

Chapter 270 Mei Yingying (Part 2)

Mei Yingying, Qi Nongxia, and Li Lingyun finally understood that the old lady's illness was ultimately caused by long-term malnutrition. Lin Shen chopped the chicken Qi Nongxia had bought into small pieces while Li Lingyun fetched a bucket of water and brought it back.

Lin Shen poured water into the pot and put the chicken pieces in. Qi Nongxia lit the fire for Lin Shen, and Lin Shen took out a large spoon and stirred the chicken in the pot.

Lin Shen added a little salt and vegetables to the chicken soup, and skimmed off the foam on the top of the chicken soup.

The water in the pot gradually turned from clear to milky white, and the aroma of chicken soup wafted out of the pot. Mei Yingying sniffed it and said, "Big brother, you can cook too?"

Qi Nongxia knew a little about Lin Shen's cooking skills, but Li Lingyun didn't know.

Lin Shen said, "In the beginning, I lived alone, so I had to do many things alone."

After a while, the chicken soup was ready.

Lin Shen poured a bowl of chicken soup and handed it to Mei Yingying, saying, "Little girl, give the chicken soup to the old lady and have a good sleep. Your grandma will be fine."

Mei Yingying took the chicken soup, went into the bedroom and served the old lady, asking her to drink the bowl of chicken soup. After a while, Zhao Linger and Lin Yueru came in.

Qi Nongxia and Li Lingyun saluted in unison and said, "Sister Ling'er, Sister Yueru!"

Lin Shen also noticed the two of them coming and asked, "Ling'er, Yueru, why are you two here?"

Lin Yueru put her hands on her hips and said unhappily, "What are you talking about? We were busy out there, and when we saw you were gone, we went everywhere looking for you."

Lin Shen stroked his cheek with his finger and said, "A little girl asked me to save her grandmother, so I was dragged here. But how did you two find this place?"

"We smelled the scent of chicken soup and thought it might be you who made it, so we came here following the smell." Zhao Linger replied.

Qi Nongxia and Li Lingyun wanted to cover their mouths and laugh. Lin Shen thought: Good boy, they came just by smelling the food. But it's true, I've cooked in front of them several times, they must know my cooking skills.

An hour later, Mei Yingying helped her grandmother out of the bedroom. Mei Yingying said, "Big brother is really amazing. Grandma looks much better now."

The old lady leaned forward and said, "I thank you for saving my life."

Lin Shen supported the old lady and said, "Old lady, you are still very weak. You should rest well."

Because of the epidemic, Lin Shen and his group temporarily stayed in Liujiazhuang. During the day, Lin Shen and Lingyue Palace Master organized people to isolate and treat the sick.

For those who are not sick at the moment, the Lord of Lingyue Palace gave them a prescription for disease prevention and asked them to take the medicine every day to prevent disease.

During the rest of the time, Lin Shen guided Qi Nongxia and Li Lingyun in their cultivation progress. Because they did not bring any books, the guidance was mainly on swordsmanship and five elements spells.

Mei Yingying also secretly watched Lin Shen instructing the two of them in swordsmanship. At night, Lin Shen was patrolling the village. After all, it was very easy for trouble to occur in this situation.

One night while on patrol, he heard some noise and thought it was a thief. He walked quietly towards the sound and found a figure in an open space. The figure was short and it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman.

When he got closer, Lin Shen conjured up a lantern and shouted, "Who is it!?" The man was startled and turned his head to look over. Lin Shen and the man were stunned when their eyes met. The person turned out to be Mei Yingying.

Lin Shen said, "Mei girl, why are you here? What are you doing?"

Mei Yingying stammered, "This...that...big brother...I..."

Lin Shen noticed that Mei Yingying was holding a branch, and her movements seemed like she was practicing swordplay. He first let out a long "Oh~~~~" and then said, "You must be practicing swordplay secretly."

Mei Yingying quickly hid the branch behind her and said shyly, "Big Brother... I... I also want to learn swordsmanship."

Ever since I knew that Mei Yingying was Mei Shengxue, I had actually thought about taking her in as my apprentice, but I never mentioned it because I was worried that if Mei Yingying passed away, her grandmother would have no one to take care of her, so I never mentioned it.

"Little girl, do you want to find a master?" Lin Shen asked tentatively.

Mei Yingying nodded and said, "Big brother, I really want to learn swordsmanship."

"How about this, little girl, let's find a place and sit down and chat slowly." Lin Shen said.

The two found a patch of grass and sat down on it. Lin Shen asked, "Come to think of it, why do you live with your grandma? Where are your parents?"

Mei Yingying's face drooped when she heard this question. Lin Shen said, "If you find this question difficult to answer, then just pretend I didn't ask it."

Mei Yingying's expression was very heavy as she said, "Two years ago... two years ago, famine broke out here. My parents... they said they were out looking for wild vegetables.

They...they were eaten by a vicious tiger. When the villagers arrived, they only found a few bones. "After saying this, Mei Yingying burst into tears.

Lin Shen held Mei Yingying in his arms and said, "She's also a miserable child.

(Gently patting Mei Yingying's back) If you want to cry, just cry. Crying will make you feel better.

Not far away, Zhao Linger, Lin Yueru, and Mei Yingying's grandmother saw this scene. Seeing Mei Yingying's expression, the old lady also started crying and whispered, "Yingying, it's grandma who has dragged you down."

After about a quarter of an hour, Mei Yingying's crying gradually stopped. Mei Yingying said, "Brother, where are you going after this plague is over?"

Lin Shen thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I don't know. He might be concentrating on teaching Nongxia and Lingyun on Xianling Island, or he might be traveling with Ling'er, Yueru and the others.

After all, we just dealt with a force before coming to this village."

Mei Yingying asked, "Big brother, can you tell me about your experience?"

Lin Shen took a breath and said, "Oh, that's a very long story." Then Lin Shen told Mei Yingying everything that happened after he traveled to the world of Fairy Sword.

Lin Shen finished his speech when it was almost dawn, but Mei Yingying didn't feel sleepy at all. Instead, she kept listening. As for Zhao Linger and the others, they had left long ago.

After listening to this, Mei Yingying said, "Big Brother and those sisters have been through so much. Can I be as good as Big Brother?"

Lin Shen smiled and said, "Nong Xia has asked me the same question before.

And I once said to her: Don't do something because you have the power; instead, you look for the power and use it because you want to do something.

I hope you can think carefully about this sentence."

Mei Yingying couldn't understand the meaning of this sentence for a while, and yawned again at this time. Lin Shen smiled and said, "Little girl, go back and have a good sleep. Otherwise, you will be exhausted."

"Where's big brother?"

"I'm fine, go back."

"Okay, big brother, I'm leaving." After saying that, Mei Yingying walked towards her home.
