Chapter 52 - Aren't You the Most Partial to Me?
The carriage rounded the turn and quickly entered the dense forest, leaving only two ruts and a little dust.
Bai Fanlu retracted his gaze and sent the old woman back to the house.
In this way, from the very beginning, the snow ganorderma really complied with the phrase "come back and forth", and went back and forth to the old woman's hands.
This time it was foolproof. Bai Fanlu directly turned the snow ganoderma into a pill for the old woman, and was relieved to see her taking it with his own eyes.
He originally wanted to keep some silver, thinking that the old woman would refuse to receive the snow ganoderma. It was estimated that she would not take the money she gave, so he just gave it up.
At first, she was willing to accept the snow ganoderma, mostly because of her son's last wish. Later, she sold it as a way for a mother to love her son.
Saying goodbye to the old woman, Bai Fanlu received a system prompt on his way to Gonghua Town.
[ "Congratulations on completing the side mission 'Mother's Kindness and Filial Piety'! You will be rewarded with the 'Reader's Brain Hole' Fragment × 3! And at the same time, unlocking Hidden Event 1 'Floating life from two places to Send the Emperor's Love', and Hidden event 2 ' ' ". ]
Although he still didn't understand the hidden event, he finally accomplished another thing.
Bai Fanlu went to Gonghua Town and walked around the door of the benevolent medicine shop, but after all, he didn't go in.
After leaving Gonghua Town, he still didn't want to go back to the Tianshu Sect for the time being. With the old woman, he decided to go to Jiyang to see Shen Lanshan and Xiang Wanyi. After all, there should always be a beginning and an end to what he promised.
When he arrived in Jiyang, he found that there was a group of immortal disciples, but he didn't know their sect. They should also be a team formed against the demons.
He is embarrassed in his current assessment. Although he is not sure whether those people know the original owner, Bai Fanlu still disguised himself to cover up the clothes of the Tianshu Sect disciple in order to avoid accidents.
Then he walked around to Shen's house, and when he saw Shen Lanshan, he almost didn't recognize him.
"Brother Shen, you didn't have to wait for many days, your complexion is much better."
People are refreshed at happy events, and Xiang Wanyi's difficulties have been resolved. It really is different. Is this handsome appearance the one worthy of Xiang Wanyi's liking?
Bai Fanlu teased Shen Lanshan, but the youth stared at him carefully for a while, and then smiled and said, "You are the one who has changed a lot."
"Me? Do you think so?" Bai Fanlu didn't want others to say that he became haggard.
Shen Lanshan shook his head, "No, it's okay."
After the greetings, Shen Lanshan led Bai Fanlu into the inner hall, and at the same time, he asked the people to spread the word in advance.
When she was outside a room, a beautiful young woman came out and blessed the two of them. She was still holding a baby in her arms. It seemed that the baby was just born.
Soon Bai Fanlu realized that this baby was...
"Yes, this is 'him.'" Shen Lanshan said softly.
Bai Fanlu understood immediately.
The baby seemed to be very sticky to Shen Lanshan when he hugged him. He didn't cry, but also liked to laugh. He was already a little open, and his eyes were big, very pleasing.
Shen Lanshan was playing with the little baby, the woman was still watching with great concern. They were not very good at talking here. After a while, the little guy was hungry, and the woman took him into the house.
Shen Lanshan was able to talk to Bai Fanlu about what happened, "Your little brother Xiao Liu came back that day and talked about ways to reincarnate him, so we went to look for them."
"At first, I went to the medical clinic to find out if there was any such situation, but there was no clue. We went to the nearby towns and villages and asked the doctor for help."
"Finally, it's also a coincidence that something happened in my cousin's family, she is the one you just met, and she came to join us. Unfortunately, my cousin almost died of illness on the way. She was frightened of the child in her belly, and had dystocia when giving birth. Three days after birth, the child is actually gone..."
"That time... it was all thanks to this opportunity, otherwise the midwife said that if the child can't be born, the adult can't keep it."
It is true that everything in the world pays attention to predestined conditions, and Bai Fanlu couldn't help sighing.
"Furthermore, my father was very pleased to have this child. My cousin's father is my own uncle. This child is of the Shen family's blood, but I don't want to hide it from you. After you left that day, I told my father that I won't marry a wife anymore."
Bai Fanlu was not surprised, "I know you have to say it." That's why Bai Fanlu deliberately gave Lord Shen a vaccination in advance.
Shen Lanshan smiled clearly, "Thank you, you have been my benefactor since that night." After a pause, he said again, "Xiao Liu too."
Bai Fanlu's expression suddenly became a little unnatural.
Shen Lanshan said, "You didn't know, my cousin changed several midwives during the delivery days, all of them were found by him. Your younger brother seems to be young, but he is actually quite meticulous and patient."
Bai Fanlu laughed dryly, not knowing how to answer the conversation, and could only nod his head slightly to agree.
Shen Lanshan and Xiang Wanyi are in love with each other, and they are naturally more sensitive to emotional matters than others. He has already seen some eyebrows, and said to Bai Fanlu, "In fact, I envy you two."
"Envy... us?"
"Yes, you and Xiao Liu." Shen Lanshan held the teacup in his hand and looked down at the green tea inside, floating up and down, just like life.
"..." Bai Fanlu lowered his head, looking like he was sipping tea, but he didn't get any water.
"The two of you are not much different. There are still many days left to share the best years of age. But I and Wanwan..." Shen Lanshan smiled before sighing, "When he grows up, I will be old. I should feel ashamed in front of him."
"I and Xiao Liu are not..." Bai Fanlu was anxious to clarify, but was speechless with the look in Shen Lanshan's eyes.
If it is not, there is no need to react so much, because Shen Lanshan didn't point out anything, but he said what his age was. In the end, he didn't confess to himself.
Bai Fanlu settled down and changed the subject, "He will not mind this. You see that he is still so young now, and he treats you differently. If you really care about a person, even if his appearance changes, his status in his heart will not change......"
But after saying this, it sounds like he's confessing himself.
"I mean..." The more you trace it, the darker it gets, whether you trace it or not?
Shen Lanshan smiled slightly, "I'm relieved to hear you say this."
"..." But Bai Fanlu's heart was even more chaotic.
Next, Bai Fanlu stayed in the Shen Mansion for two days. On one hand, he wanted to see what the immortal disciples in the town were doing, and on the other hand, he wanted to stay with the little baby who was late to reincarnate.
He has always had no resistance to this kind of soft little life. When he was in the orphanage, he was the oldest of all the children. From the fourth to the fifth, he took care of him. He spent every day in the crib and diapers. At the same time, behind the buttocks were the two eldest babies with snots and tears.
It's best to bring him as a junior, and when he was only eight months old, he would be called "brother". If he didn't learn to call him mother or father, he would just call him "brother."
Like the current night, he always smiled at him. When he was unhappy and not being paid attention to, he squatted his mouth at most, made a little emotion, and smiled when he saw him.
When he got older, he would beg for a hug, and he would fight for favor with other little brothers and sisters. The way to fight for favor was to squeeze into the crowd, hang on Bai Fanlu's neck, and stick to his face.
In fact, there is another trick that Bai Fanlu accidentally discovered later. It turns out that when he turned his back, Xiao Liu's innocent little cute baby's face would immediately change and become a domineering and cold little scoundrel who wanted to "covet" him. The younger brothers and sisters, staring and pouting, scared everyone away.
As for the effect, he doesn't know, in the end, Xiao Liu naturally became the scheming wave of the children's words "Big Brother is the most partial to him", "He is the worst, he always dominates Big Brother", "Big Brother is deceived by him again today".
So afterwards...
"Brother, aren't you the most partial to me? Why do you put socks on him but not me?"
"Xiao Liu, you are four years old, and you should have worn socks by yourself a long time ago."
"I don't. Brother, if you wear it to him, you must wear it to me, and you must wear it to me first."
"Then I will give him a bottle, do you want to drink milk with this too?"
"Want!"
"Then I change his diapers, do you want to wear diapers too?"
"......want......"
Some children booed, "Xiao Liu! Xiao Liu doesn't know how to be ashamed, so he still wears diapers when he's so old, so embarrassing!"
Bai Fanlu teased him deliberately, "Come on, take off your pants, brother will wear them for you."
"...No, no more!"
He ran away with his face covered in smoke.
It can be seen that it was only half a day ashamed, that at night the other children were all asleep, and the scheming little boy would come back to Bai Fanlu's bed and squeeze between him and the little baby.
"Brother, I want you to sleep with me."
"I see, go to sleep."
"Brother, you still like me the most, right?"
"Yes, I like you the most, okay?"
"Hey! I know, brother, I, I like you too! Very, very, very much! Like most! You must remember that in the future...in the future..."
In the future, if you forget me and listen to me saying "I like you", you must remember it again, you must...
Bai Fanlu woke up suddenly and realized that he had fallen asleep on the edge of the cradle unknowingly.
And the last sentence just now was not the voice of the child in the dream, but...
Bai Fanlu frowned, clasping his hands on the cradle, feeling a faint pain in his head.
Little Wanyi in the cradle was watching him with big eyes open, "Yeah...yeah..."
Bai Fanlu returned to his senses. Seeing little Wanwan, his heart softened. He was just about to stretch out his fingers and pinch on his cheek, but he stopped.
He's not sure if there is any memory of this soul reincarnation, if it's the baby's body and the adult's heart, then it would be inappropriate for him to touch someone's face.
But the look of this milk doll is making him itchy.
Bai Fanlu changed his mind, patted the cradle and whispered, "Oh, I have to go now. Go and see another child who is about the same age as you now. There is turmoil everywhere. I don't worry about them."
When he said this, Shen Lanshan was walking into the yard and heard, "Do you want to leave now?"
Bai Fanlu nodded and asked him, "How is it outside?"
Shen Lanshan went to inquire about the news for him. At this time, he said, "Listening to those people, it seems that it was someone from Fengmen who left and followed the monster. It seems that he hasn't found it yet. Do you want to leave now? In case there is a monster..."
Bai Fanlu never told Shen Lanshan of his identity, but said, "I'm a spiritual practitioner, don't worry."
This area is not the land that Tianshu Sect is responsible for, and if you leave Fengmen, the person in charge is a stubborn master. In the novel, he is the one who has the highest voice in wanting to conquer the original owner.
Although Shizun suppressed public opinion for him, he pointed out that people were dissatisfied in their hearts, so it is better to be careful to avoid them.
Bai Fanlu decided to use a teleport technique, and then went to the exact destination he wanted to go using his flying sword.
This road was smoother and much more efficient than last time. It only took one day to reach ErCang Mountain directly from Jiyang Town.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, his flying sword stopped outside the courtyard wall shaded by a green forest at the northern foot of the mountain.
The children's laughter had already been heard from far away, and Bai Fanlu hadn't jumped off the sword before his whole heart flew past.
He retracted his sword and ran a few steps until he saw the grass roof of the house, and smoke was slowly coming out of the chimney. It was dinner time and he could smell the roasted sweet potatoes.
After taking a deep sniff, Bai Fanlu was about to open the door, and he heard a girl's silver bell-like laughter, "This is delicious! Can I eat it?"
"Yes, but it's very hot. Let it cool first. By the way, ask them all to come over."
It was still that young voice, but it was a little more calm than before, so it was like two voices combined together, both strange and familiar.
The footsteps of Bai Fanlu stopped in place, and the hand that was about to push the door also stopped.
"They are playing with XiaoHui and XiaoBai, they said they want to play for a while, I'll fan it and cool it down~"
"Yin Yin."
"Huh? What's the matter?"
"You call me again... I seem to..."
"Haha! Brother Xiao Liu, what's with you? How many times have you said that today? Xiao Liu, elder brother, elder brother!"
The girl yelled again several times before the boy gave a low laugh.
Bai Fanlu heard it, but he didn't know why, his heart seemed to be pulled by that laughter, he took two steps back gently, planning to leave first without a sound.
Suddenly someone behind him called, "Brother Lu Fan, are you back? Why don't you go in at the door?"
There was the sound of something falling to the ground, and then the girl complained, "Brother Xiao Liu, the sweet potatoes are all falling on the ground!"
Bai Fanlu turned his head awkwardly. The herdsman uncle carrying a large bundle of firewood, carrying a bamboo basket in his hand, came over. He saw Bai Fanlu standing still, and asked with a smile, "Isn't the house built well?"
He said that he had come to the front, and Bai Fanlu naturally stepped aside. The herdsman had already pushed open the wooden door in front of him and shouted inside, "Aunt Zhang, see who is here?"
But it was only the words that came to pass. Seeing the teenager standing among a group of children in the dojo, the smile on his face expanded even more, "Oh! Xiao Liu's brother is back too, today there are so many people..."
When the children in the yard saw Bai Fanlu, they suddenly forgot what they were holding. The little swallow seemed to jump over, jumping and chattering around him.
While Bai Fanlu interacted with them, he couldn't help but quietly pay attention to a certain place. The young man was stuck on the spot, silently bending over to pick up the sweet potato that fell on the ground for a while, without saying a word or doing anything extra.
The uncle herder probably also felt that the situation was not quite right. Before asking any questions, Bai Fanlu hurriedly explained, "We didn't come together, I just arrived. He... he arrived a little earlier than me."
"Oh oh it's like that, just say it."
The herder uncle smiled honestly, but fortunately, people came out of the house at this time, which dilutes the faint disharmony in the lively reunion.
It was Aunt Zhang who was in the mouth of the uncle, and the youngest of the three old people rescued at the time. She was holding a handful of greens in her hand and carrying drops of water. She seemed to have hurried out halfway through cooking.
She also had a little baby strapped to her back, turned her head around and looked around, waving her little hand, whispering and humming, as if the baby had just cried.
Seeing Bai Fanlu, Aunt Zhang immediately laughed from ear to ear, "Lu Fan is here too, Xiao Liu didn't say anything to me, I will prepare a few more dishes!"
"It just so happened that I brought firewood, Aunt Zhang, I'll help you."
"Oh no, your house is busy too, you always send me firewood, I..."
"It's just a bundle of firewood," the herder uncle pushed her, "Go, I will put the wood shed. Hey, by the way, today the hen in the family has hatched a few chicken cubs, and they are specially brought here for you to raise..."
As soon as they heard that there were chicken cubs, the children surrounding Bai Fanlu were immediately attracted, and they surrounded the herdsman uncle, vying to see the chicken cubs in his basket.
For fear that the children did not know the importance of starting, the herdsman uncle hurriedly raised the basket, and a group of people went back to the woodshed in such a mighty force.
The big yard, which was still lively just now, suddenly quieted down.
Only Bai Fanlu by the door was left, and there was a young man sitting next to a small tin bucket in the yard, playing with roasted sweet potatoes in silence.
