Chapter 185: The Grass Collection was stolen
Chapter 185: The Grass Collection was stolen
The princess was stunned. She thought: What's wrong with these two? Why are they crying when they are just talking?
After a long while, the two finally stopped being sad. Li He took Li Yu's hand and looked her up and down carefully. The more he looked, the more he liked her! He immediately turned to the princess and said:
"Ling'er! Come and meet your brother!"
The princess couldn't help but glare at him when she heard this! But she had to obey her mother's order, so she could only reluctantly walk forward and bow to Li Yu as a greeting. But she was very angry in her heart! Before, he was just a captive who was at her mercy, but now he has become her brother for no reason!
But there was no point in being angry, after all, his mother seemed to really treat this boy as her nephew. But it didn't matter, he would make it up to her when he was out of her sight.
The princess was secretly angry, but Li He took Li Yu's hand and asked:
"Yu'er! Where is your home? Are your parents okay? How did you end up here?"
Li Yu couldn't help but feel sad when he heard this. With tears in his eyes, he told them about his life story and the hardships he had experienced in his life, from his birth to being abducted by the princess to the demon clan. Some secrets were not mentioned, such as the powder box, the magic ring, the golden wood and the spiritual crystal fruit. It was not that he didn't trust Li He, but the princess was by his side. You know, she has been tracking down the whereabouts of the golden wood and the spiritual crystal fruit.
Of course, he did not say anything about how the princess treated him. After all, they were mother and daughter, and if he said too much, the princess would only hold a grudge against him.
When Li Yu finished speaking, Li He was already in tears! Even the princess looked sad and her eyes turned red when she heard the tragic part!
Li He felt even more sympathetic towards Li Yu's plight! With tears in her eyes, she patted his hand and kept murmuring:
"Poor child! Poor child!"
The princess saw Li Heyou crying and comforted her:
"Mother! His life story is indeed pitiful, but now everything is fine! With our care, he won't have to suffer any more!"
Upon hearing this, Li He nodded and said:
"Ling'er is right! Yu'er, from now on we are a family, and aunt will never let you suffer again! From now on, you will stay with aunt!"
Li Yu was overjoyed when he heard this! Being able to stay with his aunt is much safer than staying with the princess! He immediately expressed his gratitude:
"Thank you, aunt!"
"What are you thanking me for? Why are we as a family being so polite? It seems so strange!"
Li He frowned.
The princess couldn't help but feel depressed when she heard this! She originally brought Li Yu here because she wanted Li He to help with Li Yu's treatment, but she didn't expect that a family recognition drama would be staged! She always believed that Li Yu must have some secrets, otherwise how could anyone be willing to save him with his background? Especially the words and deeds of Zhu Laosan on the top of Qianren Mountain made her even more suspicious! But this kid was too tight-lipped, and she couldn't get a single word out of him. I wanted to interrogate him slowly after he was cured, but now his mother asked him to stay by her side, so how could she interrogate him? It seems that her plan will have to go down the drain!
Li Yu was naturally in a good mood and full of joy! When a person is in a good mood, his appetite will be good. At this moment, Li Yu's stomach growled, and he was a little hungry!
Li He couldn't help but laugh when he heard that! He blamed himself:
"Look at my brain! I actually forgot the time. I'm going to prepare food for you right now!"
Li Yu just smiled awkwardly when he heard this.
When Li He went out to prepare the meal, the princess looked at Li Yu with a half-smile, and suddenly stretched out her hand and twisted Li Yu's waist! Li Yu opened his mouth in pain and wanted to scream, but the princess pointed at his neck!
The princess reached out and patted Li Yu's face, whispering:
"You're lucky, kid! But don't get complacent, I have plenty of ways to punish you! We'll see!"
Then he untied Li Yu's acupuncture points and said with disdain:
"Are you ashamed to cry so easily? Dry your tears quickly and don't let me see them! Also, don't tell me about it, or you'll be in trouble!"
Hearing the footsteps outside, she immediately put on a smiling face and went out to greet them.
Li Yu looked at her expression which changed faster than turning pages of a book and could not help but shook his head helplessly!
Although the food was not a delicacy, mostly melons, fruits, pears, peaches, etc., it was rich enough. Since falling into the hands of the princess, Li Yu had hardly eaten a decent meal. Seeing so much food, he didn't hesitate and immediately gobbled it up!
Seeing Li Yu's eating habits, Li He couldn't help but shed tears!
After Li Yu had filled his stomach, Li He said to him:
"Yu'er! You asked me why I ended up in the demon clan. Ling'er is here with you, so I'll tell you all about it today!"
It turned out that after Li Baicao became obsessed with alchemy, he left his hometown. Before leaving, he left the only copy of "Baicao Collection" at the Li family. As a result, the Li family became a famous medical family in Hongzhou.
In order to preserve the Li family's status in the medical community, they kept the "Baicao Collection" to themselves and did not spread it. As a family heirloom, it was passed down to the hands of Li He's great-grandfather Li Chuanliang.
The Li family had a rule that the "Hundred Herbs Collection" was only passed down to one person in each generation, and only passed down to males, not females. Except for this one person, even the people in the Li family did not know the existence of the "Hundred Herbs Collection".
By the time of Li Chuanliang's generation, there were only two brothers in the direct lineage. Li Chuanliang was the eldest brother, and the younger brother was called Li Chuanqing. Li Chuanqing had always been idle and especially loved gambling. Li Chuanliang repeatedly advised him not to listen, so he had to separate the family from him. He thought that he would be better after the separation, but he became worse and lost all the huge family property that was divided to him! Not only that, he also owed a lot of gambling debts!
Li Chuanliang, thinking of their brotherly love, could not bear to see him living on the streets, so he paid off his gambling debts and bought him a new property. But Li Chuanqing was a stubborn old man, and his old habits relapsed, and he lost all his family fortune again.
This time, Li Chuanliang was completely disappointed and ignored him. Li Chuanqing was so resentful that he teamed up with a group of robbers to massacre the Li family! Not only did they steal a lot of property, they also stole the "Hundred Herbs Collection"!
From then on, the Li family no longer had the "Bai Cao Ji", and all medical skills were passed down through Li Chuanliang's memory. Before his death, Li Chuanliang left a will that the descendants of the Li family should find the "Bai Cao Ji".
After Li Chuanqing stole the "Bai Cao Ji", he disappeared without a trace. It was not until Li He's father Li Wenbin's generation that he accidentally learned the whereabouts of Li Chuanqing's descendants! He immediately took Li He's brother to look for them, but they all disappeared! Only Li He's mother and daughter were left as orphans and widows!
Two years later, the mother and daughter were finally worried and decided to go look for him. When they arrived at the residence of Li Chuanqing's descendants, they found that it had become a ruin!
