Chapter 682: Asking for help
"Are you awake? How did you sleep last night?"
Su Lin sat on a chair, leaning against the window and looking at the scenery outside. When he heard the noise, he turned around and saw Niao Niao getting up from the bed.
She stretched and yawned, not treating Su Lin as an outsider at all. Otherwise, how could a girl expose this so-called ugly face to the public?
"Brother Su Lin, why did you wake up so early? Didn't you sleep all night?"
Niao Niao's words were obviously filled with guilt, and she always felt that she was dragging Su Lin down.
She was about to get out of bed, but she was tripped by her feet. Seeing this, Su Lin immediately rushed to her at a very fast speed, helped her steady, and warned: "You can't see with your eyes, but I am your eyes. Remember to call me in the future, and be careful."
Obviously, Su Lin's words deeply moved Niao Niao, and tears appeared in the corners of her eyes, but they didn't flow out.
The two chatted for a while, and Niao Niao's face was always smiling, as if it was because holding Su Lin's warm hand gave her a strong sense of security.
It must be said that yesterday's competition really opened up a long distance for the Chen family's vision, so early this morning, they specially sent servants to ask Su Lin and the others what they wanted to eat.
This kind of treatment is probably not enjoyed by ordinary guests. After all, the Chen family is the master of a country, and it is not surprising that they enjoy royal treatment.
This back kitchen is equivalent to the emperor's imperial kitchen, which has all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas.
Su Lin also said in the spirit of not wasting: "Whatever you have, I am a picky person. If the wrong dish is served..."
Hearing his words, the servant felt very embarrassed, but after all, it was an errand assigned by the master, so he couldn't ignore it, right? He couldn't afford to offend anyone, so he could only do it according to the instructions.
But when he was about to leave, Su Lin stopped him again.
This was because he noticed that Niao Niao's face was a little pale, and at the same time, a faint smell of blood came from her body.
If I guessed correctly, she should be having her period.
Su Lin, who had practiced the "Qihuang Magic Art" long ago, was familiar with these simple physiological knowledge. Not to mention gynecology, if he was really asked to help people deliver babies, he might have no problem.
After all, what is included in this book is the essence of heaven and earth, and the lifelong skill of the King of Medicine.
"Go get some brown sugar and red dates pork ribs soup, remember to skim off the oil foam, don't be too greasy."
Soon, the table of dishes was delivered.
In the room, looking at the table full of food, Su Lin felt a little extravagant, you know, this is breakfast!
What do you usually eat? It's nothing more than white porridge, pickles, steamed buns, etc., but what about now? This old hen soup, even the dumplings stuffed with flying dragon meat, even this porridge, that is the essence, using five grains to boil, and even adding some mild spiritual herbs.
Looking at the steaming hot air, plus the fragrance floating in the air, Su Lin couldn't help drooling.
It is normal for a person to have a desire for food, not to mention that the food is right in front of him, so he can't just ignore it, right?
Su Lin said it well, it is shameful to waste food!
However, before he enjoyed it, he still served Niao Niao a bowl of red date soup and told her: "Drink more to replenish your blood."
Niao Niao's face flashed a trace of surprise, but she didn't say much. Facing Su Lin's kindness, she was happy in her heart.
In fact, the food served was probably enough for four people.
After all, as the host, it is impossible to let the guests eat half full? In such a luxurious situation, it is natural to throw away the extra food rather than make Su Lin unhappy.
But even the servants of the Chen family probably couldn't guess that Su Lin alone ate four-fifths of the food.
And Niao Niao only drank a bowl of soup, which was already good for a thin girl like her.
After eating and drinking, Su Lin stood at the door of the room, looking at the passage not far away. He could guess that someone would come to see him in a while.
The Chen family at this moment was trying to curry favor.
Sure enough, about half an hour later, the second son of the Chen family and his wife came in a hurry.
As mentioned earlier, there are five grandfathers in the Chen family, including Chen Yongan’s grandfather Chen Xuanneng, and four younger brothers.
For some reason, except for Chen Xuanneng, the other four people in the Chen family have no descendants, so the responsibility of inheriting the incense fell on Chen Xuanneng’s lineage.
He was also very capable and gave birth to three sons directly.
The eldest son was Chen Yongan’s father, Chen Zhou.
The second son was the one in front of him, Chen Nian.
The third son was named Chen Yang, but according to the Chen family, this guy had committed some crimes in his early years, so he was locked up now.
According to Su Lin's guess, the third brother probably couldn't stand the eldest brother's monopoly of power, so he wanted to fight for power, but failed.
For a big family, such a thing is normal. As the saying goes, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. This is the truth! Even if family affection is in front of you, it is the same.
"Senior Chen, do you come to me today for something?" Su Lin asked knowingly.
From the evasive eyes of Chen Nian and his wife, it can be seen that they have something wrong! That's why they are afraid of ghosts knocking on the door! To the extent that they sneak into the room and even close the door and windows when talking.
"Nothing else, just that we saw Brother Chen's heroism yesterday, and my husband and I really admire him, so we want to visit and make friends."
As he said this, Chen Nian looked at his wife, and she reluctantly took out an antique wooden box from her sleeve, opened it, and placed it on the table in front of Su Lin.
"It's just a small gift, not a respect."
This is a night pearl, about half the size of a fist, and in this slightly bright room, you can see the fluorescent green light.
Su Lin could feel that there was a lot of spiritual power fluctuations in it, so he touched it.
Instantly, the system in his mind prompted: "Host, congratulations on obtaining the mermaid pearl, a spiritual product."
"Introduction: Mermaid pearls, produced from the bottom of the South China Sea, are said to be the tears of the mermaids, can be used as medicine, can be used to make pills, and have extraordinary effects."
I didn't expect that Chen Nian and his wife would be so generous?
However, seeing how painful they were, it was possible to guess that what they were asking for must not be simple!
But he couldn't refuse this gift that was delivered to his door, right? He accepted it with a clear conscience and threw it to Niao Niao, saying that it was a gift for her.
To be honest, Su Lin's behavior was very rude in front of Chen Nian, but he had to ask for help.
