Chapter 27 Injury

"Your mother is overworked. She has been using her spiritual power to stimulate the stove fire for a long time. Her heart and lungs are damaged by the fire and she has a cough, a weak body and difficulty breathing.

Mr. Feng explained the condition to Mo Hua and continued:

"When she was first sent here, she could hardly breathe. I made some pills and temporarily relieved her condition. You don't have to worry about it in the short term, but you have to take good care of yourself in the future. You can no longer use your spiritual power to stimulate the stove fire, and you can no longer do the job of helping in the kitchen. Otherwise, sooner or later your heart and lungs will be broken and you will be powerless to save her."

Mo Hua was scared after hearing this, and couldn't help but bow deeply again, saying: "Grandpa Feng's kindness, Mo Hua will remember it in his heart!"

Mr. Feng helped Mo Hua up, smiled slightly, and said: "Saving the dying and the wounded is the job of the alchemist, what kindness is there to talk about. Although you are young, you still speak in a serious manner. By the time you repay me, I might have been buried. "

Mo Hua heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Grandpa Feng is a kind-hearted alchemist. He will definitely live for hundreds of years!"

Mr. Feng laughed out loud, "You, my child, have been able to speak since childhood."

"My mother helps in the kitchen in the dining hall for only four hours a day. She was fine before. Why did her heart and lungs suddenly become so severely damaged?" Mo Hua couldn't help asking.

Mr. Feng said: "I asked the kitchen lady in the dining hall. Starting this year, your mother's time helping in the kitchen has been extended from four hours to six hours a day. Over time, her spiritual power is more likely to be exhausted. Coupled with overwork, it is naturally more serious.

"Then the fire-proof hairpin is useless?"

"You mean the hairpin your mother wears?" Mr. Feng stroked his beard and nodded to explain:

"Of course the hairpin is useful, but the fire-proof hairpin is just an ordinary spiritual tool, not a high-grade one, and its own efficacy is limited. But it's a good thing that there is this hairpin, otherwise your mother's condition will only get worse. Even if she is cured, there will be residual problems with her heart and lungs."

Mo Hua was somewhat relieved, but also had lingering fears. Then he asked about the cost of the diagnosis. Mr. Feng said: "The steward of the dining hall came just now. They are also very sorry about your mother's matter, so they will pay for all the medicine costs. I will give it to you, so you don't have to worry about it."

Mr. Feng winked at Mo Hua quietly and whispered, "Since they have this intention, I will not be polite. I will naturally use good medicinal materials to make elixirs and will definitely cure your mother."

Mo Hua felt relieved and thanked Mr. Feng solemnly, then asked in a low voice, "Can I go see my mother?"

Mr. Feng nodded, "Go, your mother has just taken the elixir and lay down, remember to keep your voice down."

The wing rooms of Xinglin Hall were connected, and several sickbeds were placed for patients to rest. Although simple, they were clean and tidy, and there was a faint smell of cigarettes.

When Mo Hua saw Liu Ruhua, Liu Ruhua was lying on a bed on the inside, sleeping quietly, breathing lightly, with a pale face and a little haggard.

Mo Hua brought a small stool and sat gently beside him, looking at Liu Ruhua's face.

Mo Hua remembered that when he was just born, his mother was still very young, gentle and beautiful, and she looked very beautiful when she smiled.

Ten years have passed without anyone noticing.

For monks with a long lifespan, ten years is nothing. Some monks will not even change their appearance in ten years.

But Mo Hua's mother has become a little haggard, and there are even a few white hairs on her temples.

Thinking of growing up slowly, while her parents are slowly getting old without her knowing, when she suddenly realizes, they are no longer the same as she remembered.

Mo Hua's heart ached, and her eyes were a little hazy.

Liu Ruhua didn't know how long she slept. When she woke up, she found Mo Hua lying beside her with red eyes. She felt comforted and a little distressed.

Liu Ruhua touched Mo Hua's head, "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be practicing in the sect?"

Mo Hua looked at her silently. Liu Ruhua felt a little embarrassed and said, "Mom is fine, don't worry."

"Mr. Feng said that you have to help in the kitchen for six hours every day."

"Six hours is nothing. Look at your uncles and aunts in the neighborhood. Sometimes they have harder jobs. Your father goes out to hunt monsters. Sometimes he doesn't sleep for days and nights. Everyone is like this..."

Mo Hua shook her head, "Mom, you are not in good health, how can it be the same? Is there a lack of spirit stones at home?"

Liu Ruhua sighed slightly and said, "There is no shortage of spirit stones at home, but aren't you going to learn the exercises soon? The lower-level middle-grade exercises should cost more than 200 spirit stones. I want to save more and let you choose a better one at that time."

Mo Hua was slightly stunned, "I didn't tell you about the technique, how did you know?"

Liu Ruhua touched Mo Hua's head again, "Silly child, how could you not know? You didn't say it because you are sensible, but it is impossible for your parents not to plan for you. Your parents are only cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage, and can't give you the best, but within the scope of their ability, they still want to give you the best."

Mo Hua's nose was a little sour, and then he took out a storage bag and said:

"Mom, I can earn it myself, I have already earned 180 spirit stones!"

This time it was Liu Ruhua who was surprised. She opened her mouth slightly and said for a long time:

"How do you earn so much..."

Mo Hua felt better, "I help people draw formations."

"Is it the Youyuanzhai on North Street?"

"Yes."

Mo Hua said, and then he was stunned again, "How do you know this, mother."

Liu Ruhua smiled softly and said: "Your father told me that when he saw you taking out so many spiritual stones that day, he suspected that someone was cheating you and had evil intentions, so he followed you to the business and asked the manager a few words. Then I found out that you were not deceived, but the manager was deceived by you. As a mother, I don’t even know when you had a brother..."

Mo Hua opened his mouth wide. He felt that he had concealed everything, but in the end he concealed nothing. He didn't even know when his father followed him to the formation pavilion...

Liu Ruhua touched Mo Hua's face and said happily: "When I was a child, I saw you were small and thin, so I was worried that you would be bullied and worried that you would not be able to make a living in the future. I didn't expect that you are so young now. I can earn so many spiritual stones, so I feel relieved.”

"But you have to save these spiritual stones for yourself. Don't think it's a lot now. When you reach a higher level in the future, or marry a Taoist companion or have children, you will spend a lot of spiritual stones. Save them now. So as not to be short-changed when the time comes.”

Mo Hua shook his head and said: "Mom, I will definitely earn more spirit stones in the future. You don't have to worry about this. The most important thing for you now is to take good care of your body. Don't worry about other things."

Liu Ruhua looked at Mo Hua gently and wanted to say something, but couldn't help coughing. Mo Hua stopped letting her talk and told her to have a good rest.

Thank you fellow Taoist Natsume Hiroshi for the reward~
