Chapter 194 Reflection
As the sun set, there was only a ray of setting sun left in the sky. Song Qingming stood in the backyard of the Song family and stared blankly at the darkening sky.
"Third uncle, wake up, grandma is awake!" Not far away, Song Yunshan walked over with a happy face and shouted to him loudly.
Song Qingming turned around and nodded with a smile, then followed Song Yunshan back to Song's mother's room.
As soon as he entered the door, Song Qingming saw Mother Song on the bed. Not only had she woken up, she had also sat up and was half leaning on the cushion. Her face had changed from the previous pale color and became very rosy.
"Mom, you haven't eaten water or rice for several days, so you'd better eat more!"
"I told you I'm not hungry, just take it down, it's going to be wasted here!" Mother Song waved her hand at the rice porridge handed over by her daughter-in-law. Although her voice was not loud, her words were still very clear.
Song Qingming stepped forward and smiled at his sister-in-law: "After taking the elixir, some spiritual power will gather in the mother's body. It doesn't matter if she doesn't eat in the past few days."
Seeing Song Qingming, Song's mother complained to him again: "San'er, you have such a useful elixir, why didn't you give it to your father to use some so that he could leave us a few words before leaving? ”
Song Qingming smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Mother has wronged her child. I didn't have this kind of elixir at that time. I only got it when I was working in Fangshi a few years ago."
Mother Song sighed and waved, asking Song Qingming to sit on the bedside, closer to her.
"San'er, your mother is really sick this time. She even looks forward to your coming back. Tell me how long it has been since you came home. Last time you came back, you lied to me and said you were married. Now, you are not even alone. I didn’t even see the shadow.”
Song Qingming said softly: "The child is at fault. Don't be angry, mother. I will send her a message later to see if she has time to come and see you in the next few days."
"Are you telling the truth?" Mother Song grabbed Song Qingming's sleeve and her eyes gleamed.
The second sister, fourth brother and others on the side also looked at Song Qingming in surprise. The last time they heard the news, they all thought that Song Qingming said this to comfort his elderly mother. They did not expect that what he said was actually true. of.
Song Qingming smiled and nodded, then took out a message transmission in front of everyone, and cast a spell to send it out in front of their surprised eyes.
Early the next morning, a servant of the Song family who was sweeping the floor at the door suddenly saw two beautifully dressed young women appearing outside the door of the Song family.
The servant looked a little strange to the two of them, and was about to step forward to ask, when a figure suddenly appeared beside him out of thin air, startling him.
When he looked up carefully, he realized that it was the third master in the mansion. When he saw the third master walking towards the door, as if he knew the two people outside, he quickly stepped aside.
"Qingyu, you didn't practice hard in Fangshi, why did you come back again?"
In the past few months, after Song Qingming returned, the situation in Qinghe County has become much more stable. Second sister Song Qingwan and others also returned to Qinghefang and reopened their store.
Song Qingyu also followed him into Qinghefang and stayed with Huang Siyuan all day long.
"I don't know the way, so I asked Qingyu to help bring me here." Before Song Qingyu could explain, Huang Siyuan on the side took the initiative to help her out.
"You go back to the mountain first, don't waste your practice."
"I understand, Sister-in-law Seven, if you feel bored, remember to go to the mountain to find me!"
Seeing Song Qingming's serious look, Song Qingyu didn't dare to stay any longer. He could only whisper to Huang Siyuan and turned around to return to Funiu Mountain.
"They are all my family members inside. There are not so many rules in secular places. Just be casual." Seeing that Song Qingyu had gone away, Song Qingming stepped forward and brought Huang Siyuan into the house.
In the backyard of the Song family, Song's mother was sitting on a wicker chair in the courtyard. The second sister, the fourth brother and his wife were also standing aside. Looking at Huang Siyuan who had a hint of fairy spirit in front of them, everyone was suddenly filled with joy. Holding Huang Siyuan's little hand, she asked softly:
"Girl! What's your name?"
"Taiyuan Mountain Huang Family, Huang Siyuan" Huang Siyuan's parents were both monks. She had grown up in Taiyuan Mountain since she was a child and had not had much contact with ordinary people. Seeing the enthusiasm of Mrs. Song and others, she suddenly became a little panicked.
The family dragged Huang Siyuan and chatted endlessly in the courtyard. Even Song Qingming, who was standing nearby, didn't say a few words. They had no choice but to walk to the side and waved to call their eldest nephew Song Yunshan over.
"Your grandmother's time is running out. The house needs to make preparations earlier. Your parents and aunt are a bit old. Don't alert them in advance. You can just do it secretly and slowly. If you need my help, , you can come to me."
After hearing this, Song Yunshan looked puzzled and said, "Third uncle, after my grandmother took your elixir, her health is much better than before. How come she doesn't have much time left?"
Song Qingming looked at him with a sigh and said softly: "That is not a life-saving elixir. It can only help the old man regain some vitality in a short time. The effect of the medicine can only last for more than ten days at most.
Don't think too much about it. Why wouldn't I try it if there is a way? It's just that people will be born, old, sick and die throughout their lives. This is something that even the ancient immortals would have a hard time changing. How can I not have such extraordinary abilities now? "
"Uncle Yunshan knows about this, don't worry!" After staying for a moment, Song Yunshan gently wiped away his tears, raised his head and nodded heavily to Song Qingming.
Looking at the very sensible Song Yunshan in front of him, Song Qingming stepped forward and patted his shoulder gently: "It's a pity that your uncle is no longer here, otherwise you can ask him to help you. You are more stable than your father. , I can feel more at ease with you in this family from now on."
After explaining to Song Yunshan, Song Qingming saw that the sky was getting dark, so he went to the courtyard to remind everyone who was still busy and sent them back to everyone.
After sending Song's mother back to the house, Song Qingming took Huang Siyuan back to the small house where he had lived for many years.
Although Song Qingming's cabin is not very big, it is not too crowded for the two of them. As cultivators, they can sell whatever they want.
After closing the door, Huang Siyuan sat on the wooden chair in the room, looked at Song Qingming and said in confusion: "Your mother's complexion doesn't look right. She seems to be returning to the past. Isn't time running out for the old man?" ”
Song Qingming nodded calmly and said: "Well, that's true. Now it's all dependent on a pill. There should be only ten days left. Those of us who are cultivators cannot escape life, old age, illness and death, let alone ordinary mortals."
Huang Siyuan lowered her head and fell into silence. After a while, she continued to speak: "You have already established the foundation and you still have two hundred years to live. You don't have to worry about this problem for the time being, right?"
"To live an extra two hundred years, for ordinary cultivators like us, it seems that we have already earned it. However, it is difficult to walk steadily on the path of cultivating Taoism. I only got here after going through life and death hardships several times. It shouldn’t be as easy as you think.”
