Chapter 756 Lu Yingjie’s Regret
Seeing a stranger standing at the door of the yard, he opened his eyes and stared at Lin Ran.
It felt familiar, but I couldn't pronounce his name.
"Do you have a problem with me?" Uncle Li asked doubtfully.
Lin Ran smiled back: "Uncle Li, do you still remember me? Last year you sold me a statue of Arhat, saying it was to raise money for your grandson's medical treatment."
He gestured, and the uncle looked like he suddenly understood, and climbed up from the wicker chair with a smile.
"Little brother, did you know? That weirdo in the village has now lived in harmony with the villagers." Uncle Li smiled.
The weirdo he was talking about was none other than Lu Yingjie.
It was he who told Lin Ran that Lu Yingjie had good stuff, and that was how they met.
While talking, Uncle Li invited Lin Ran to sit inside the house.
The things in his house are the same as before, everything that can be sold has been sold out.
The wicker chair at the door was made by himself, so he kept it.
"How is your grandson's condition?" Lin Ran asked.
Uncle Li, who was still smiling at first, turned into a bitter smile in an instant.
"It is said that there is a 10% chance of cure, but it will cost tens of thousands of dollars. We are trying to find a way." After Uncle Li finished speaking, he said to Lin Ran, "By the way, little brother, do you think I have anything else in my house? Look If it catches your eye, you can just pay a price and take it yourself."
Lin Ran looked around the house for a week, and it was appropriate to describe them as a house with bare walls.
He saw a ceramic bowl on the ground. It was not a cultural relic, but something from this era.
He picked up the bowl and said, "Uncle, sell this bowl to me."
"Okay, just give me some money." Uncle Li also knew that this bowl was worthless and said, "It's a little old, so I'll just go back and use it."
"Well." Lin Ran asked, "Uncle, how much money does your grandson still have to pay for medical treatment?"
Uncle Li smiled bitterly and said: "It's far behind, still [-] yuan short, but it seems that a blood buyer came to the village. I heard that drawing blood only costs a few yuan. Our whole family is ready to sell blood."
"Don't." Lin Ran thought to himself, isn't selling blood a point of no return?
The medical conditions in this era were not good, and blood sellers usually had no way to maintain hygiene. If they got sick, the whole village would be ruined.
I didn't expect that Ranran would actually happen before my eyes.
He took out a check, wrote the exact amount of 1 yuan on it, as well as his name, and handed it to Uncle Li.
Uncle Li was stunned: "Little brother, what do you mean?"
During this time, he was running around borrowing money, so of course he knew checks.
But he had never seen such a large check.
"You can use it to treat your grandson's illness first, and forget about selling blood." Lin Ran replied.
Uncle Li was a little stunned and didn't react for a long time.
He looked at the check in his hand and asked, "Little brother, do you really have so much money?"
"Yes, you don't have to worry, but don't make this matter public." Lin Ran said to Uncle Li, keeping his wealth secret. He didn't want people in the village to know that he was rich, and it would be troublesome to collect things in the future.
"Thank you, thank you!" Uncle Li was so grateful that he almost knelt down and kowtowed to Lin Ran. Lin Ran quickly stopped him, "Uncle, I can't bear your gift. If it's okay, go to the bank to withdraw money and save you." Grandson."
In Xiping Village, Lin Ran had seen too many human tragedies.
If he can save one, then he counts it as one. Anyway, 1 yuan is not a big sum for him now.
"Yes." Uncle Li was about to go out immediately. Just as he was locking the door, Lin Ran asked, "By the way, do you know the family that lives next to Li Ke's house? Why aren't they at home?"
Uncle Li thought for a moment and said, "Are you talking about the village chief's house?"
"Village chief?" Lin Ran thought of the old man and the old woman he saw the day before yesterday. Their family looked ordinary, but he didn't expect that he was the village chief.
"If you are talking about Li Ke's house, then it is the village chief Li Ming's house." Uncle Li said, "It is said that something happened to their son out of town, so he should go to Henan in the past few days."
After learning the news, Lin Ran knew that he would not be able to see them for a while, so he decided to deal with other things first.
Saying goodbye to Uncle Li, he went to visit Lu Yingjie.
Lu Yingjie was planting vegetables in front of his house. When he saw Lin Ran, he quickly opened the courtyard door and let him in.
"Brother Lu, you are well." He had just visited Lu Yingjie a few years ago. It seemed that his granddaughter's illness had been cured and his spirits were much better.
After being invited into the house by Lu Yingjie, he circled around Lin Ran and muttered something.
Lin Ran was about to ask a question when he forced him back.
It wasn't until the ceremony was over that he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother Lu, what were you doing just now?" Lin Ran felt like he was dancing to a master just now, but he couldn't say it directly.
Lu Yingjie's face was full of gloom: "I told you not to go to the tomb for a while, but you went to rob the tomb again, right?"
He rarely spoke to Lin Ran in a questioning tone. Although his tone was harsh, Lin Ran could hear the concern in it.
Lin Ran was surprised. How did he see it?Is there really a magic trick?
But Lu Yingjie then glared at Lin Ran with his remaining eyes and said, "Although we have known each other for a short time, I know that you are a person who cannot bear his temper."
It turned out that he had speculated that Lin Ran really thought he had evil spirits on his body and he saw it.
It sounded like Lu Yingjie had become somewhat humorous.
When he arrived at his home, Lu Yingjie made him a cup of black tea and said, "I just performed a simple exorcism technique on you. Please wait half a year before going to the grave to ensure your safety."
I thought it was superstitious, but I still agreed.
"Okay, do you have time to tell me, this old man, about your last fight?" Lu Yingjie was very interested in the legend of Khitan, but he couldn't prove it, which became a long-lasting pain in his heart.
Since Lin Ran came back safe and sound, it meant that they had found Konoha Mountain.
He told him the complete experience of excavating the tomb of Taizu of Liao Dynasty. The insidious twists and turns made Lu Yingjie even feel ashamed.
"There is such an insidious mechanism?" He was surprised by the incense in the cave. If a person was intoxicated by the incense, he would definitely die.
Lin Ran was really talented to be able to escape from such a dangerous situation.
Of course, what concerned Lin Ran the most was the big spider.
"Brother Lu, have you ever seen giant poisonous insects in the tomb? For example, a spider as big as a human?" Lin Ran was still frightened when he thought of spiders. He had never seen such a terrifying creature.
"The mausoleum is actually equivalent to an independent ecology. If you absorb the spiritual energy in it, there will naturally be some creatures that are different from those on the ground." Lu Yingjie replied, "Actually, compared to poisonous insects, the northern sect guys are more dangerous."
The two chatted for a few more words, and Lin Ran remembered the Qianling Shinto.
