Supreme Return

Chapter 678 Seriously Ill Xie Juan

The town has no name...

In other words, there should have been a name in the past, but apparently the place where the name plaque should have been hung at the gate of the town is empty now!
However, the population of the entire town is not much, only a few hundred households, and most of them are ordinary people. Even if there are cultivators, they are just some existences such as consecration period and fusion period...

"Little uncle, why do I feel that this place is a little unusual?" Following Xie Qinghao into the town, Ling Moyuan frowned slightly for the first time, and said softly.

"Ha ha……"

When Chu Xuan heard the words, he just smiled faintly, but did not answer.

He actually had the same opinion as Ling Moyuan, and he felt very keenly that after following Xie Qinghao into the town, many passers-by seemed to have nothing to do with them, but in fact a lot of attention fell on them...

In particular, those people seemed to be unintentionally blocking the way, blocking their view of following Xie Qinghao.

All of this seems to be just a coincidence!
But if there are too many coincidences, doesn't that also seem abnormal?
"Looks like it's really interesting!"

The corners of Chu Xuan's mouth turned up slightly, and his eyes glanced around without showing any traces, but he deliberately led Ling Moyuan to another direction, and did not continue to follow Xie Qinghao.

However, the 'unintentional' eyes of the nearby people are still watching them all the time. On the surface, it seems that they are curious because of the presence of outsiders, but in fact, only they know what is going on.

However, no one knew that Chu Xuan's spiritual consciousness had always been on Xie Qinghao.

This town is not big in the first place, not to mention that Chu Xuan is in the town now, even in some places outside the town, it is absolutely easy to lock anyone in the town with spiritual sense, and there is no need at all. Fear of being noticed.

Not long after, the two randomly found a small tavern in the town and sat down.

Because there were not many people in the town, the tavern didn't have any business, so it seemed quite quiet.

Chu Xuan and Ling Moyuan didn't say much, they ordered some food and wine casually, and started to eat and drink on their own.

And the owner of this tavern, the only one who also works as a part-time clerk, is sitting behind the counter, seemingly dozing off, but in fact, he is always paying attention to them, as if he is watching them...

Or, in fact, since they entered this small town, they have all been under surveillance.

"Little uncle?"

While eating, Ling Moyuan slightly frowned and said, "It's so strange here, why is it like this?"

"Who knows?"

Chu Xuan smiled, and replied via voice transmission, "Okay, don't worry about it! Anyway, they don't have any malicious intentions for the time being! Well... It seems that this time I came to Blue Mercury at the right time! Interesting, very interesting !"

"Uh……"

Ling Moyuan was speechless, and simply continued drinking and eating.

Anyway, even if those people are added together, they are definitely not his opponent, so why bother to think so much?

…………

And at this time, in a remote place in the corner of this small town, outside an extremely small and simple courtyard...

Xie Qinghao came straight to this side and gently opened the unlocked courtyard door. The sound of "squeak" was so clear in this quiet environment.

"Is it Qing Hao?"

A middle-aged woman's voice came out.

The voice was a little dull, or rather pale, obviously from someone who was sick.

"It's me, mother!"

Xie Qinghao's eyes flashed with warmth, and he walked into the room with a smile on his face.

This room is very simple. Apart from a table and two stools, there is only one bed. Of course, there is a teapot and a few teacups on the table. There is no other decoration at all. It looks extremely poor. !

And leaning against the bed was a sickly middle-aged woman, her face was a little pale, but it could still be seen between her brows that this middle-aged woman was a pretty beauty when she was young, but she was affected by her illness. Now she actually has many wrinkles, and her breath has become quite weak, which is very different from normal people.

Her name is Xie Juan, and she is Xie Qinghao's mother!

"Mom, how are you feeling these days?"

Entering the room, Xie Qinghao quickly came to the bed and sat down, holding Xie Juan's hand and asked.

"It's not like you don't know, mother's illness is just like this, there's nothing wrong with it!"

Xie Juan smiled slightly, with eyes full of loving mothers, and said softly, "Qing Hao, you must be exhausted after going out to collect medicine for your mother this time, right? Aunt Wang next door sent some things yesterday, go get something to eat , take a good rest after eating!"

"Don't worry, mother! I'm not tired!"

Xie Qinghao said with a smile, "By the way, have you eaten yet? Shall I make some for you?"

"it is good!"

Xie Juan nodded with a smile, and watched Xie Qinghao carefully tidy the quilt for herself before going out to the kitchen, the smile on her face gradually disappeared, replaced by boundless sorrow.

"My son, I have really suffered for you!"

"Every time you say you're going to collect herbs, but why don't you know everything about you outside?"

"Hey……"

Xie Juan sighed bitterly in her heart.

Almost the same as Xie Juan, after walking out of the room, Xie Qinghao, who turned his back to her, also lost the smile on his face in an instant, and his complexion was extremely complicated, but he didn't say a word for a long time, and went straight to the kitchen to start cooking.

The ingredients are also very simple, just a piece of meat, several side dishes, and some rice.

Of course, for the two of them, as long as they can eat, it is impossible to ask for so much.

While cooking, Xie Qinghao started to boil medicine next to him. Some simple herbs produced a rather bitter taste, but Xie Qinghao had already gotten used to it. Not only was he not bored, but he looked forward to it.

These herbs were indeed picked by him himself!

The purpose is very simple, to treat Xie Juan!
As for the efficacy of the medicine, Xie Qinghao wasn't sure, but at least seeing that his mother's illness didn't get worse, he seemed to see a glimmer of hope!

Even if there is only a tiny bit, he will never give up!
After about 10 minutes, the meal was ready.

"Mom, it's time to eat!"

Xie Qinghao carefully took out the meat, mixed with a small portion of side dishes, and came to the bedside with the rice bowl.

"Every time you do this, let you eat first and then feed me, isn't it the same, silly boy?"

Xie Juan couldn't move, or she couldn't feel anything except her head, let alone eat on her own initiative.

Therefore, Xie Qinghao has been taking care of her all the time, and when Xie Qinghao is not at home for a few days, he will ask Aunt Wang next door for help.

"Hehe, how can there be a reason for the son to eat first and let the mother watch?"

Xie Qinghao fed it carefully, and said with a smile, "Besides, I left a lot of delicious food in the kitchen outside. I'll have a full meal after you eat it!"

"You kid..."

Xie Juan didn't expose Xie Qinghao's lie, she chewed in small mouthfuls, with that extremely happy smile on her face all the time.

If you have a son like this, what more can you ask for?
After eating for more than ten minutes, the food was almost finished, so Xie Qinghao wiped the corners of Xie Juan's mouth and asked her to continue leaning on the bed.

"Okay, let's go eat!" Xie Juan said with a smile.

"Ok!"

Xie Qinghao nodded, "Mom, I'll feed you medicine in a while!"

"Well, let's go!"

Xie Juan nodded with a smile, and looked at Xie Qinghao's leaving back, her smile turned into a wry smile.

Although these medicinal materials have some medicinal properties, they have no effect on her condition, or physical condition at all.

But she can't waste her son's filial piety.

Isn't it good to keep him hopeful?
"Unfortunately……"

Xie Juan didn't know what she was thinking, she sighed helplessly, and said in her heart, "Qing Hao, Qing Hao, it's because of your mother that you are being dragged down! Mother doesn't have many days to live, I just hope that after mother is gone, you can live well. Go on living! As a mother, in my whole life, my biggest wish is to see you get married, but...but now I can't do it, hey..."

Sighing softly, Xie Juan gritted her teeth, cold sweat dripping from her forehead instantly.

And on her hands that could not move at first, a little white light lingered, and the next moment she pinched a very mysterious seal formula, and those white lights slowly formed a white jade pendant during the pinch of the seal formula. ...

Rectangular, nearly twice as long as it is wide.

And the whole white jade pendant looked so simple after the white light dissipated, but at least from the outside, it was extremely simple, no different from the jade pendant that can be bought anywhere on the street.

I'm afraid that even if you give it to others, no one will be willing to take it.

But it was this piece of white jade pendant that made Xie Juan's eyes filled with incomparable memories, and even more with deep love and nostalgia.

But at this time, her face became paler, and all the blood was gone.

As time passed by, Xie Juan seemed to be immersed in some kind of memory about the white jade pendant until...

"Mom, it's time to take medicine!"

Xie Qinghao's voice sounded, and the white jade pendant disappeared instantly as if frightened. Xie Juan also pursed her lips, and looked at her son who walked in with a smile again.

"Mother, why did your face become so pale? Is there something uncomfortable?"

Seeing Xie Juan's complexion, Xie Qinghao's expression changed immediately, he hurriedly put the medicine bowl on the table, and walked quickly to the bedside.

"Silly boy, what can mother do? Don't worry!" Xie Juan said with a light smile.

"Really?"

Xie Qinghao was very worried.

"Okay, don't you want to take medicine? Why don't you feed your mother?"

"Yeah, take medicine! Take medicine!"

Xie Qinghao nodded again and again, took the medicine bowl carefully, first blew gently on her mouth, and then fed it spoon by spoon, while Xie Juan drank it with a smile on her face, no matter how bitter the medicine soup was, she My heart is extremely sweet...

It took a full 10 minutes to finish a bowl of medicinal soup.

Xie Qinghao wiped Xie Juan's mouth, got up and said, "Mom, I'll go to the kitchen to tidy up first! You have a good rest!"

"Qing Hao..."

Seeing the back of Xie Qinghao who was about to leave, Xie Juan suddenly called out.

"What's the matter, mother? Are you uncomfortable?" Xie Qinghao turned around nervously and asked.

"Silly boy……"

Xie Juan smiled slightly, looked at the nice sunny weather outside through the open window, and said with a smile, "It seems that the weather is very nice today! Why don't you push your mother out for a walk?"

"Okay! Then I'll go to Mrs. Wang to borrow a wheelchair in a while!"

"Ok!"

Xie Juan nodded with a smile, and Xie Qinghao left with the medicine bowl, but he didn't notice the helplessness and bitterness Xie Juan showed after her smile disappeared, "Son, don't blame mother! Mother really doesn't have many days to live, You must take good care of yourself in the future!"

The white jade pendant appeared again in her hand, but Xie Juan's eyes showed not memories, but a kind of complexity, mixed with unspeakable hatred and love...
