Chapter 131 Token
Shang Wan waved her hand over the bamboo basket, and it instantly filled with herbs.
She hung the bamboo basket on the back of her wheelchair, gesturing for Lu Chengjing to turn the wheelchair around and go back by himself.
The two had only taken a few steps when they heard a noise behind them and turned around to look.
"Mother! Father!"
Yuanyuan rode Little Gray out of the forest, covered in mud and leaves, looking as dirty as the child Shang Wan was holding.
If Xiao Huan sees him, he'll definitely be dragged out for a good bath.
Round and bright eyes, one little hand holding the fur on the back of the little gray dog, and the other little hand dragging a long, fleshy thing.
The little guy thought his parents had come to pick him up, grinned, revealing three tiny teeth, and proudly held up the long object for them to see, exclaiming, "Tsk!"
The long, patterned object swayed twice as she moved.
Shang Wan's eye twitched. Wasn't this the Mr. Poisonous Snake that she had knocked down into the valley?
So she let him go, and he killed her because of her own son.
Mr. Viper must have gone hunting today without checking the almanac.
"Sweetie, aren't you tired?" Shang Wan thought the little guy was going to sleep all day.
"No!" Yuanyuan shook her little head, very spirited.
She directed Little Grey to come closer and try to force the venomous snake into the bamboo basket full of herbs.
Lu Chengjing took a deep breath. How many days had it been? His soft and sweet daughter was already able to crush a venomous snake as thick as an arm.
Should he praise his wife for raising their daughter well?
Taking a deep breath, Lu Chengjing tried to remain calm and explained to his daughter, "This is a poisonous snake, you can't eat it."
"Sss!" Yuanyuan continued the action of stuffing the venomous snake in her mouth, blinking her big eyes.
Lu Chengjing said helplessly, "Sweetie, you really can't eat it, you'll get sick if you do."
With her round, flat little mouth, she turned her head to look at Shang Wan, only to find that her mother was holding someone in her arms.
She decisively tossed the venomous snake aside, patted Little Gray, and curiously peered over to take a look.
Under the healing power of the spiritual spring water, the child's fever had subsided considerably, and he was sleeping much more peacefully than before, no longer muttering in his sleep.
Yuanyuan reached out her little hand and poked the child's cheek; it was soft and similar to her own.
The little one's eyes crinkled with laughter. Hehe, another little boy has come to play with her.
The little bottom shifted back a bit, and Yuanyuan patted the space she had deliberately cleared in front of her, signaling her mother to put her little brother on it.
Shang Wan decisively refused; the child still had knife wounds, so it wasn't appropriate.
Yuanyuan puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction, but there was nothing she could do about her mother, and her father always listened to her.
With a sigh like a little adult, the little guy decisively abandoned his parents, rode Little Gray away, and went to play with Uncle Stone.
She completely forgot about the freshly baked baby food.
Shang Wan carried the child home. Xiao Huan heard the noise and looked over, her eyes widening in surprise.
"Sister, where did this child come from?"
"I found him," Shang Wan said. "Do you have hot water? This child has injuries, so wash him clean before applying medicine."
"Yes." Xiao Huan hurriedly went to make arrangements.
Ever since Yuanyuan started going into the mountains every day, Xiaohuan has been preparing a pot of hot water according to the time. The first thing Yuanyuan does when she gets home is to take a bath and change her clothes.
Xiao Huan was worried. It was fine now that the weather was warm, but when it got cold, she would catch a cold if she took a bath every day.
After undressing the child, Shang Wan frowned deeply.
The child had three knife wounds: one on his back and two on his arms. The rest were abrasions and cuts.
The knife wound on her arm was relatively minor, but the one on her back was extremely deep, with flesh and blood exposed, making it look particularly gruesome against her fair skin.
Shang Wan once again marveled at how lucky the child was, managing to hold on despite being so badly injured.
However, someone who would kill a child must be seeking revenge, right?
As Lu Chengjing said, this child is a problem.
As Shang Wan helped Xiao Huan wash the child, she was surprised to find that the child was quite handsome and had a bit of a fairy-like appearance.
Xiao Huan looked worriedly at the child lying on the cushion. "Sister, the wound on this child's back is long and deep. It needs stitches. I should go find Dr. Yuan to take a look." "No need," Shang Wan stopped her. "Just apply the medicine your brother-in-law uses to him."
Since it's a problem, the fewer people who know about it, the better.
Xiao Huan naturally listened to Shang Wan and applied the ointment to the child. She then bandaged the wound with gauze after the ointment had almost dried.
Shang Wan walked out of the wooden shed and headed towards Lu Chengjing's direction.
Lu Chengjing was sorting through the herbs he had picked when he heard the noise and turned around to look. "How is the child?"
"He's badly injured, but he's out of danger." Shang Wan handed over the blood-stained purse she had found. "It should belong to that child. Take a look."
Lu Chengjing wiped his hands clean and took the purse, then turned it upside down and emptied its contents one by one.
There are two things in total.
A white jade pendant with a clear, translucent texture. It is round and relatively simple in design, with a hollowed-out pattern around the perimeter, the character "楚" (Chu) carved in the center, and two bats carved below.
A square bronze token, about the length of a little finger, with no patterns, only three characters engraved in seal script in the center: Fu Lu Shou (福禄寿).
The three characters are arranged in a column, all the same size and evenly spaced.
Shang Wan had already read it beforehand, and only asked after Lu Chengjing finished reading it, "Did you notice anything?"
“Chu.” Lu Chengjing’s fingertips traced the bat pattern on the white jade pendant. “This jade pendant has the clan emblem on it.”
Large families usually have a family crest, so this child's background is indeed extraordinary.
"And this?" Shang Wan pointed to the bronze token.
Lu Chengjing shook his head, indicating that he also didn't know what the bronze token was for.
Shang Wan took it and examined it closely. After a while, she frowned and said, "Are there words written on it?"
"It consists of the three characters '福禄寿' (Fu, Lu, Shou)."
Lu Chengjing has recently been teaching Shang Wan to recognize characters, and he gestures for Shang Wan to open her palm.
With a light stroke of the finger, slowly write the three characters once, making it easier for Shangwan to remember them.
Shang Wan: "...Next time, you should just wet your writing table."
Lu Chengjing was slightly taken aback. "Why?"
Shang Wan commented, "Who would write on their palm like that? This thing is only used when flirting, right?"
Lu Chengjing: "..."
His ears turned red, and he awkwardly turned his face away, pretending to study the bronze token.
Shang Wan squeezed his hand and asked with a smile, "Will you continue writing?"
Lu Chengjing pursed his lips, and just as Shang Wan was about to let go, he grabbed her hand, tightened his grip, and softly hummed in agreement.
……
Where is this?
Chu Xu struggled to open his eyes, staring at the little turtle in front of him whose head was bobbing up and down, feeling momentarily dazed.
Didn't he jump off a cliff? The underworld doesn't look like this, does it?
“Duoduo!”
A round little face suddenly appeared in his line of sight. The little girl tilted her head and looked at him, her big eyes blinking like stars.
Chu Xu opened his mouth twice before uttering a faint sound, "Who are you?"
Yuanyuan ignored him and quickly climbed out to tell the adults that her little brother had woken up.
Liangliang sat to the side and noticed that Chu Xu's lips were dry and chapped, so she silently poured him a glass of water and handed it to him.
Chu Xu then realized that he was lying face down, and when he moved even slightly, a piercing pain shot through his back.
His face was deathly pale. He looked at the bamboo cup, but didn't take it. Instead, he stared at Liangliang and asked, "Where is this?"
