Chapter 31: Effortless

Potatoes piled up like a mountain next to the spiritual soil, and inch-high sprouts emerged from the ground.

This... is amazing.

If she had known that the expanded spiritual soil would harvest and plant seeds by itself, she would not have bothered last night.

She was so tired from digging potatoes last night that her back and waist ached, and now her whole body was still weak.

She left the space and locked the door.

The lights on both sides of the street were still bright, and there were fewer pedestrians.

…

At midnight, Nangong Zeyue returned to Canglan Inn, and the waiter hurriedly brought water and food to his room.

Nangong Zeyue took off his coat and put it on the screen, and soaked his whole body in the bathtub.

A pair of fox eyes slowly closed.

The person who helped him find out the news said that he had seen his uncle in Jingning, but when he went there, he found nothing.

Nangong Zeyue made up his mind to go to his uncle's house tomorrow and leave a letter for his uncle, asking him to meet him in Heitan Valley when he came back.

Nangong Zeyue came out after bathing and saw the waiter still standing in front of the door.

He waved his hand: "No need to serve, leave!"

"Master Nangong, a girl wearing a veil came to see you today." The waiter bowed slightly and smiled flatteringly.

"Does that girl have a beauty mole between her eyebrows?" Nangong Zeyue couldn't hold back his excitement.

"That's right, although I didn't see the girl's true face clearly, she must be a beautiful girl. Congratulations, Master Nangong."

Nangong Zeyue turned around and took out a silver ingot from under the pillow and threw it over: "A reward for you."

"Thank you, Master."

The waiter was so happy to receive the reward that he bowed and thanked him repeatedly before retreating.

Nangong Zeyue didn't care about eating supper and turned to get clothes.

His heart was pounding.

Miss Jiang was willing to come to him on her own initiative. Did the girl treat him as a friend?

He just opened the closet and his hand holding the clothes was suspended in the air.

The clinic was already closed at this time, where could he find her?

Going to see her in the middle of the night would also damage her reputation.

…

The next day, Nangong Zeyue saw a long line in front of Jishiditang.

When the patients were gradually less crowded, Nangong Zeyue suppressed his excitement and looked into the clinic.

It didn't matter if he looked at it, he almost rushed in with a stumble.

It's really a case of searching for something without any effort.

"Uncle Master!"

Nangong Zeyue didn't care about the strange looks from everyone, he shouted in the room with surprise: "Uncle Master! I finally found you."

Lin Miaoshou looked up at the man walking towards her, the familiar fox eyes.

"Zeyue, is that you?"

The last time I saw Nangong Zeyue was five years ago.

The once immature boy has become a handsome gentleman.

Nangong Zeyue stepped forward and held Lin Miaoshou's arm, excited and incoherent: "Master, Master...he thought...thought you..."

At the end, Nangong Zeyue swallowed the unlucky words.

Jiang Shuyue was confused.

It turned out that the person Nangong Zeyue was looking for was Lin Miaoshou!

This was too coincidental.

"Don't worry, wait until we finish seeing the patients in the room, and then go home to reminisce slowly." Lin Miaoshou suppressed her excitement and patted Nangong Zeyue's shoulder gently.

"Oh! By the way, I'm here to see Miss Jiang today."

Nangong Zeyue looked at Jiang Shuyue.

Jiang Shuyue pointed to the chair next to him and motioned him to sit down and wait.

Nangong Zeyue suppressed his excitement and watched Jiang Shuyue feel the patient's pulse and prescribe medicine. Her eyes were as bright and gentle as the spring sunshine.

Su Nan was very discerning and served Nangong Zeyue a cup of tea.

After the last patient left the clinic, Lin Miaoshou took Nangong Zeyue back to the courtyard, and Jiang Shuyue also went back with him.

After sitting down, Qiuju served tea, and Jiang Shuyue listened to the two quietly.

With Lin Miaoshou's introduction, Jiang Shuyue learned that Nangong Zeyue was also a man with a tragic fate.

He and his master lived in Heitan Valley.

Nineteen years ago, his master Nangong Guyan met a group of masked men chasing several people dressed as merchants outside Heitan Valley. One of the women was holding a child about one year old in her arms.

Nangong Guyan helped without hesitation, repelled the masked men, and saved the child in the woman's hands.

Unfortunately, the woman was too seriously injured and could no longer speak. Nangong Guyan judged from the woman's mouth shape that she seemed to be calling the young master.

Nangong Guyan inferred from the woman's dress that the woman should be the child's wet nurse.

When Nangong Guyan took the child back to Heitan Valley, he found that the child had a jade pendant of high quality hanging around his neck.

The child had no other items that could prove his identity, so Nangong Guyan had to name him Nangong Zeyue.

"Is it this jade pendant?" Jiang Shuyue cast her eyes on Nangong Zeyue's belt.

"No, it's this." Nangong Zeyue took the jade pendant from her neck and placed it in her palm.

A crescent moon was carved on the crystal clear jade pendant, and there were no more clues.

After a brief greeting, Lin Miaoshou looked at Nangong Zeyue: "Are you sure you don't want to continue to investigate your life experience?"

Nangong Zeyue shook his head firmly: "I almost ran all over Wanling Country, but I didn't find any clues. That's it. Since I'm being hunted, I don't have to look for it."

"Master is worried about your safety, I'll go and send a message back."

As soon as Nangong Zeyue stood up, he was attracted by a beautiful child standing at the door.

"Is this your son?" Nangong Zeyue turned his head and looked at Jiang Shuyue.

"Tsk tsk tsk! This kid is so handsome. How many girls will he charm when he grows up!"

"Mom, is he a bad fox?"

Sui Sui looked alert, walked around Nangong Zeyue with short legs and walked towards Jiang Shuyue.

"Sui Sui, call me uncle, he is not a bad fox."

Sui Sui's phoenix eyes were slightly curved, revealing a cute smile: "Hello, uncle."

Nangong Zeyue walked over and hung the jade pendant in his hand on Sui Sui's neck.

Jiang Shuyue hurriedly refused: "Master Nangong, this is not allowed."

Nangong Zeyue said nonchalantly: "It's just a jade pendant. Give it to the child to play with. If someone recognizes the origin of this jade pendant in the future, Sui Sui will know me."

"Take it! Zeyue is right. It doesn't matter who has the jade pendant." Lin Miaoshou said.

"It's not allowed. The child is still young. If it is broken, it will delay Master Nangong's reunion with his family. That's a big deal."

Seeing Jiang Shuyue's firm attitude, Nangong Zeyue had to take back the jade pendant and hang it back around his neck.

He took another jade pendant from his belt and stuffed it into Sui Sui's hand.

Sui Sui looked at Jiang Shu Yue, and when Jiang Shu Yue nodded, he took the jade pendant and started playing with it.

He said politely: "Thank you, uncle."

Nangong Ze Yue went out to send a message back to Black Pool Valley.

When he came back, he was carrying a few boxes of cakes.

Seeing Jiang Shu Yue standing alone under a tree in the garden, with no one around, he walked towards Jiang Shu Yue: "The waiter said that you went to the inn to find me last night. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Jiang Shu Yue didn't beat around the bush: "I want to send some seeds to the refugees, but I don't want too many people to know, so I thought you could help me."

Nangong Ze Yue patted his weak chest: "Miss Jiang is righteous, and it happens that I am also going to go to the refugee resettlement village, so this is settled."

Jiang Shu Yue thought for a while and said: "Before dawn tomorrow, find a few carriages to the back door next to the clinic, and I will have someone deliver the goods to the backyard of the clinic."

After the two agreed, Nangong Ze Yue stayed for lunch.

With Nangong Zeyue around, Su Hui didn't go to the dining room to eat.

After dinner, Su Jin and Su Nan went to the clinic to make arrangements.

"Sister, something big has happened! Officials have come to the clinic."

Just after seeing Nangong Zeyue off, Su Nan ran in in a hurry.
