Chapter 78 The Child of the Wind

Last night, Chen Nong returned home in a daze after finishing the article. When his wife asked him if he had got the medicine, he remembered that the purpose of going to Siye Mansion was to get the medicine. As a result, he failed to get the medicine and instead inexplicably wrote an article that was not popular.

of strange things.

Chen Nong felt extremely guilty and wanted to kill him just by thinking about it. Fortunately, when he left Siye's Mansion, the boy in the mansion stuffed a paper bag into his arms and said it was compensation for writing an article.

He hurriedly took the paper bag out of his arms and handed it to his wife. When she opened it, she was surprised. It turned out that there was a pill in the paper bag.

The aroma of the pills is fragrant, and just smelling it makes you feel refreshed.

Chen Nong remembered what the Master had said. The name "Jushou Dan" sounded like a good thing. Even if he doubted others, he would not doubt Master Qi's character, so he called his wife to eat it quickly.

Mrs. Chen glared at him angrily, but her tone was gentle, "How can you eat such good food like this?" After saying that, she carefully put it away, looked at Chen Nong's face with distress, and walked to the kitchen not long after.

He came back with a bowl of medicinal soup for Chen Nong to drink.

When Chen Nong smelled the ginseng, he knew it was the ginseng medicine he had planned to boil for his wife to drink, but he refused to let her drink it.

Mrs. Chen glanced at him, "You don't even look at your face."

In the end, Chen Nong couldn't convince his wife and drank the bowl of ginseng soup.

During the day, Chen Nong woke up to the smell of rice, changed his clothes and walked out to find that his wife had prepared breakfast. Her face was rosy and healthier and more energetic than before the illness. The same was true for her daughter beside her.

Seeing the changes in his wife and daughter with his own eyes, Chen Nong felt sad, thinking that if he hadn't distrusted Si Yefu before, he would not have let his wife suffer the same fate.

At the dinner table, Mrs. Chen kept talking to Chen Meier, and the topics they talked about were all related to Si Yefu.

Mrs. Chen asked Chen Meier about her experience in Siye Mansion. Chen Meier said that she and all the spider children in Siye Mansion were good children protected by Aunt Feng. Aunt Feng was a fairy transformed from the wind and was a child protected by Aunt Feng.

They all became the medicine boys of the wind, working hard to collect medicines to save more people.

In Chen Meier's innocent narration, the horrific disaster has become more beautiful, and the strange children have become the embodiment of beauty, making it less difficult to accept.

Mrs. Chen and Chen Nong looked at each other and remained silent.

Chen Meier said: "It's just that every child has a father and a mother. The parents will be sad for the lost child, and the child will miss his parents, so as long as the parents come to find the child, Aunt Feng will return the child to them."

The words "As long as the parents come to find the child" made Chen Nong and his wife feel stuck in their throats. They both understood the deeper meaning - some parents may not be able to accept a child who has become a monster, and they are not sure whether the child can recover, or whether the child will be normal after recovery.

The sequelae and possible rumors will make some selfish and ignorant parents choose to abandon their children.

Mrs. Chen had a soft temper and wiped her eyelids emotionally. When she looked up, she found that her husband had burst into tears.

"..."

She was so stunned that she forgot to feel sad.

Chen Nong didn't want to do this, but he couldn't control it at all.

[So scared, so scared, Mi Chong was crying, and his parents ran away...]

The nursery rhymes in my mind started to haunt me again with Chen Meier's words.

Rice bugs cry, and parents run away.

So scared, so scared...

The helpless cries of countless children eroded his mind.

Chen Nong held his head in pain.

[Why?]

Why run, why don't you want me?

[It turns out that the rice bug has grown up]

"Husband, husband, are you okay?" Mrs. Chen saw that his expression was wrong and stood up anxiously to hold his shoulders.

Chen Nong was sweating profusely and murmured with dull eyes: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Children without parents will become children of the wind. They are the embodiment of kindness. They are loved and protected by the wind, have mercy from the gods, and are accompanied by vegetation.

**Lu is good at poisoning, and when she sings, she knows when there is danger. Mother and child depend on each other."

Chen Mei'er opened her eyes wide, "Dad is so powerful, he knows more than the adults in Siye Mansion! Mr. Night Traveler also said that those children who are not picked up by their parents are the children of winnowing, and they will always look like that in the future.

, that’s a symbol of being chosen.”

Chen Nong was awakened by his daughter's innocent words. When his mind regained its clarity, he recalled what he had just said. He almost found a hole to crawl into - he actually said the unsavory content he wrote yesterday.

Seeing the expression of admiration and trust on his daughter's face, Chen Nong was speechless.

Mrs. Chen sighed: "In this case, those children are not the cause of the disaster, but the blessing after the disaster."

Chen Nong looked up in astonishment, "How can you believe this kind of made-up story?"

Mrs. Chen said: "Why don't you believe it? Didn't you also say that they are the embodiment of kindness. Our Meier is kind and lovely, and we are reluctant to let her go and let her become a fairy child before she is sent back."

She hugged Chen Meier and gave Chen Nong a wink.

Chen Nong understood.

This story is the best truth for both the children themselves and their parents.

After the meal, Mrs. Chen asked Chen Nong what exactly he did when he went to Siye Mansion yesterday. Chen Nong hesitated and concealed it. Mrs. Chen saw that his face was really bad, so she was considerate and did not continue to ask.

"You can rest at home today." Mrs. Chen said.

Chen Nong shook his head, "I still have to go to Moxiang Pavilion to see if construction has started. I don't have enough money left at home."

Mrs. Chen said distressedly: "It's not more than a day or two."

Chen Nong still smiled and shook his head. What if he missed these two days and no longer had him as a copywriter?

At this time, Chen Meier jumped out and said, "Dad, Si Ye Mansion is looking for literati!"

Mrs. Chen's eyes lit up and she didn't notice Chen Nong's face stiffened.

Mrs. Chen asked her daughter, "What's going on?"

Chen Meier said: "I heard from those rich young men that everyone is trying to get in. If dad is so powerful, he can definitely do it."

Chen Nong, who was looked at by his daughter with admiring eyes, couldn't express what was in his heart: No, daddy is not that powerful!

Mrs. Chen also looked forward to it and said: "My husband is so knowledgeable, why not give it a try."

If you are really knowledgeable, you will not fail the exam. Chen Nong shook his head and was thinking about how to refuse.

Dong dong dong——

There was a knock on the door.

Accompanied by a voice: "Is Mr. Chen at home? A disciple of Siye Mansion is here to visit."

The three people in the family all changed their colors, but Mrs. Chen and her daughter were extremely happy, while Chen Nong had an expression that looked like he wanted to burrow into the ground.

"Just say I don't..." At home.

Chen Meier had already run to open the door.

Three young men wearing Si Yefu disciple uniforms looked inside and locked eyes with Chen Nong.

The lean Shen Hou who took the lead shouted: "Mr. Chen, congratulations, I'm so happy. The article you wrote in the clerk's room yesterday won the first prize. Now we invite Mr. Chen to join us in Siye Mansion."

"!!?" Chen Nong stared in shock.

When did he say he was going to take office?

"Husband, you are really..."

"Daddy is so awesome!"

Chen Nong looked over.

I saw the adoration and joy in my daughter's eyes, and my wife also had a coquettish look on her face, as if she was saying silently: You are actually trying to sneak surprises.

"No..." Chen Nong shook his head halfway, and Shen Hou shouted: "Please ask Mr. Chen to get on the sedan."

The two people behind rushed up, one of them took one of Chen Nong's arms, and quickly carried Chen Nong out, who looked frightened and in a daze.

After putting the person into the sedan, Shen Hou gave his teammates a wink, and the teammates immediately rushed to Si Ye Mansion, beating gongs and drums and shouting: Mr. Chen is so talented that Si Ye Mansion takes the lead!

——Your Majesty, please put down your words. No matter what method you use, you must invite Mr. Chen to serve in Siye Mansion. They will also receive rewards for completing the task.

Shen Hou was the most thoughtful among the preparatory disciples of Si Ye Mansion. He learned about the mission from Shen Lang and volunteered to come.

Inside the sedan.

Chen Nong, who originally wanted to open the curtains and call for help, had a cracked expression. When he saw the people watching outside through the crack of the window, he immediately retracted his head. He felt almost desperate: for half his life, he had longed to hear the scene of high school being preached on the street, but it was definitely not like this. high
