"...Miss, she is really not here, please come back."

The old shopkeeper of the Wei family closed the door with a haggard look on his face and walked in tiredly.

The Wei family has been undergoing great changes these days, and all the changes caused have made the old shopkeeper very busy. Although he knows that the little boy who keeps coming back has good intentions, he really doesn't have the energy to deal with it.

"The master has become like that, and the wife has fallen ill. When the master came back yesterday, the immortal from the sky said that he went out privately and took him back. The miss..."

I have to support the Wei family with my old bones! At least, when——

Boom, boom, boom!

Suddenly there was another knock on the door. The old shopkeeper hesitated. He resisted his impatience and turned back to open the door and said, "Stop asking! They all say little--"

Suddenly, the old shopkeeper's words stopped abruptly, his originally small eyes widened, his body trembled involuntarily, and then he knelt down with an unexpected plop: "Immortal, Immortal!"

The actions of the old shopkeeper and the sight of Xiao Qiongqiu behind him made Lou Wuchen very uncomfortable. He took a breath to calm down, and then cast a spell to pull the old shopkeeper up - but this made the old shopkeeper tremble even more.

"...Take me to see your master."

"Forgive me, Immortal! Forgive me, Immortal!" The old shopkeeper knelt down again, kowtowing like he was pounding garlic, "Master, he was confused for a moment, confused for a moment! Please be mindful of me, be mindful of me, be mindful of me... I beg Immortal

Mercy! Seek mercy from the immortals!"

"..."

Lou Wuchen did not use any more spells, silently stretched out his hand to kowtow to the old shopkeeper, and then said as calmly as possible: "I'm not here to cause trouble - take me to see him."

————————

"Ah ah ah, ah ah, ah ah ah..."

Lou Wuchen met the head of the Wei family in a small room. This middle-aged man who was once high-spirited and capable was now being guarded in this small room of less than ten square feet. His originally gorgeous clothes looked wrinkled and messy.

There was even a faint stench - seeing someone coming in, the head of the Wei family showed a bit of excitement, but there were only babbling words with unclear meaning in his mouth, and even the focus of his eyes seemed to have deviated to the side, unable to

Get the right position.

"...Sir, the immortal is here."

The old shopkeeper came forward and wanted to help the head of the Wei family tidy up his messy clothes, beard and hair, but the head of the Wei family resisted like a troubled child, unwilling to let anyone touch his clothes. That's it.

After struggling for a while, the head of the Wei family seemed to have lost interest in the few people who came in, and sat down on the ground in a daze again.

The old shopkeeper said to Lou Wuchen uneasily: "Immortal, sir, he... is really crazy, not just pretending to be crazy..."

"I understand." Lou Wuchen stepped forward, squatted down and held the shoulders of the head of the Wei family, "Do you still recognize me?"

The head of the Wei family raised his head blankly, his turbid eyes slowly turned in the direction of Lou Wuchen, and then revealed a bit of strange color. He kept his gaze and stood up little by little. His expression became more and more excited, and his breathing

He also became anxious, and then suddenly trembled at a certain moment——

There was a subtle odor, and the hot transparent liquid suddenly flowed down from the crotch of the head of the Wei family, stirring up continuous water splashes on the ground, splashing on the trouser legs and shoes of the head of the Wei family and Wu Chen next door.

superior.

The head of the Wei family is incontinent.

"!" The old shopkeeper was heartbroken when he saw this scene, and he even

Scrambling on the ground, he rushed over and pulled the head of the Wei family away, and then he was about to kneel down in the puddle of urine, "Forgive me, Immortal——"

But this time, Lou Wuchen immediately supported him and did not let him kneel down: "...Go out. I have a general understanding of the situation."

——————————

After leaving the Wei family mansion, Lou Wuchen suddenly stopped at the entrance of the alley and said to Xiao Qiongqiu next to him: "It's probably a cerebrovascular problem. I guess it's dementia caused by stroke and cerebral hemorrhage."

"Cerebral hemorrhage...dementia?" Xiao Qiongqiu repeated some unfamiliar words, "Then, is there any solution?"

"...Biology and medicine are not my strong points." Lou Wuchen was silent for a moment, and then took out a delicate jade bottle, "However, the Changchun Pill in the Dan Department claims to be able to rejuvenate mortals and make them feel clear and healthy.

Station, it should have some effect on this aspect."

"City Lord, do you want to give him the Eternal Spring Pill? No!" Xiao Qiongqiu stopped him, "After all, the Wei family still deceived you. It's one thing if you want to be generous and not pursue the case. If you give them such a precious pill, then

What will the people down there think?”

Lou Wuchen paused for a moment and held the jade bottle in his right hand: "You are right. From a management perspective, this may be the case, but..."

Lou Wuchen spread his hands again: "This thing was originally redeemed by me after Xiaobai quit gambling, and I planned to give it to him as a New Year's gift, but then many things suddenly happened and I didn't have time to send it out..."

One peck and one drink, could it be a predetermined decision - this can be regarded as... some kind of fate, right?

If he had not known Xiaobai at the beginning, he would not have been involved with the Wei family; if he had not asked Wang Yushui to deliver the letter for the first time but had gone to see it himself, Xiaobai probably would not have fallen into the gambling trap; if not

After the incident at Pixiang Palace, I exchanged the Eternal Spring Pill on a whim and prepared to give it to Xiaobai. Today, I don’t happen to be carrying this elixir that can be called an elixir for mortals...

"In the end, I'm still not mature enough... I can't accept leaving it alone, and I can't admit that I did something wrong, so this is just a late New Year's gift, simply given in a different way - Ye Zhang

!" Lou Wuchen suddenly raised his voice and called out the name of the boy who was hiding in the corner and secretly observing, "...come here."

"Lou, Teacher Lou..." Ye Zhang walked out anxiously, "I..."

"Take this elixir with wine. When taking it, lie down quietly without any clothes or quilt..." Lou Wuchen put the jade bottle into Ye Zhang's hand and explained the precautions for the Changchun elixir, "Do you remember it?"

"Yes. Take it with wine, when taking it..." Ye Zhang repeated it, and then asked nervously, "Teacher Lou, the Wei family..."

Lou Wuchen didn't let him continue. After patting his shoulder, he strode out: "I'm leaving Qiongqiu. I didn't see me... It doesn't count as a home visit."

————————————

"...Qiongqiu, am I inferior and embarrassed?"

"Nothing. I really think you are - very powerful."

"How could it be..." Lou Wuchen looked ahead and smiled bitterly, "You probably want me to admit my mistakes, right? But I am still obsessed with some meaningless things..."

"As a person standing in front of everyone, maintaining your dignity is by no means meaningless, and..." Xiao Qiongqiu hesitated and then said, "I actually never felt that you did anything wrong that needed to be apologized from the beginning.

Things, I just hope you——"

--don't want

Just make yourself uncomfortable.

"Really..." Lou Wuchen repeated Xiao Qiongqiu's words, "Don't make yourself uncomfortable..."

So be it - Lou Wuchen said this and slowly descended from the air.

Below is a lonely hill. A few days ago, it was here that Lou Wuchen was furious at the Wei family for counterfeiting "oil". But at this time, there was a petite figure on the top of the hill, trying hard to unload oil from a large barrel on the side.

Castor oil is continuously mixed into the black powder and poured into the big hole in front of you.

"Why do you do this?"

"Teacher?!" Wei Zijin's body shook suddenly, and he turned around with a tense expression on his face, but tears welled up uncontrollably in his eyes, "I, I just want to

This unfinished fake oil field is completed..."

"So I'm asking you, why would you do something like this?"

"..."

Wei Zijin lowered her head and grasped each other tightly with her hands. Her thumbnail unconsciously dug deep moon marks on the other hand, but she was completely unaware of it. Lou Wuchen didn't rush her and waited quietly.

Following her answer - after a long time, Lou Wuchen finally heard Zijin's faint, almost inaudible murmur.

"……no……"

"...?"

"...I think." Wei Zijin raised his head, "Dad, he didn't think that way - he didn't mean to deceive you, teacher."

Lou Wuchen did not speak, but motioned her to continue with his eyes. Wei Zijin twitched his red nose, tried hard to remove the tremor in his voice and continued:

"Dad, he has indeed done something very wrong and betrayed your trust, teacher. It is natural for him to be punished. But I feel that he is not trying to perfuse you, teacher. On the contrary, he really wants to complete your task, even if he can't find it.

I want to find it, even if I can’t realize it, I still want to realize it... This is what I feel from my father.”

"Although there is no way to know what he is thinking now, but..." Wei Zijin choked up again as he spoke, "Teacher, I'm sorry, I can't express myself clearly... It's like that 'can't find it'

If so, wouldn't it be great if it were made?', 'If there is such an oil field that can help you, it may not matter whether it is built or found.' Such——Old teacher?"

"...I'm sorry." Lou Wuchen knelt down, gently hugged his student's petite body, and deeply buried his head that he had not been able to lower before, "...it was the teacher's fault."

Feeling the thick embrace of a father, Wei Zijin's tight body gradually relaxed, and the suppressed crying finally let go: "Woo, woo... Actually, I also understand. If it can really happen,

How meaningful is oil and how much change it will bring... So I also thought that it would be great if it could become a real oil field..."

Ah, that's right - Lou Wuchen sighed sincerely and shed tears silently from an angle that his students couldn't see - while I was still stuck in the corner, you had actually quietly shown new possibilities.

However, I was still too overwhelmed by my own experience to realize:

——If you can’t find it, wouldn’t it be nice to make it?

Sure enough, this path cannot be opened by one person. I am really lucky to have such students...

"...But there is no need to do this kind of thing anymore." Lou Wuchen let go of Wei Zijin, held her shoulders and looked straight at her, "Do you still remember what I accidentally mentioned to you...
