275 Senile
“You’re very familiar with my husband, right?” Li Xiaoran thought of sothing and looked at Elder Xu.
Elder Xu nodded and said indifferently, “I used to be in love with his mother, but unfortunately, I wasn’t lucky enough to marry her. Later on, his mother passed away, and because of my feelings for her, I took care of him. However, when this kid needed his family to protect him the most, I was transferred to a border city and stationed there for more than ten years. When I saw this kid again, he beca so cold and aloof!”
“Then do you know what happened to my husband when he was young?” Li Xiaoran thought for a mont and asked.
“What is it?” Old Master Xu shook his head and said, “I heard everything I know from others. This kid never tells about his own experiences. No matter how distressing or difficult it is, he deals with it alone.”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she sighed in disappointnt.
In that case, he would not know about Luo Cheng being locked in the ice cave.
For so reason, Li Xiaoran felt that Luo Cheng’s dream was very important. If she wanted to help him, she had to start from this ice cave dream.
However, every ti this was ntioned, Luo Cheng looked very evasive. Li Xiaoran couldn’t keep asking, so she wanted to get this information from other people.
However, things didn’t go according to plan. Li Xiaoran had just started asking, but she failed to get the answer she wanted.
On the other side, Luo Cheng walked out.
“In addition to food, we need to add so things! It seems that we have to go to town later!”
When Elder Xu heard this, he said, “When my convoy cos, let’s go together! At that ti, we can also bring back more things!”
Luo Cheng nodded and didn’t refuse.
After all, he really had a lot of things to buy now. One ox cart wasn’t enough.
After that, the three of them returned to the Luo family’s house together.
Li Xiaoran knew that Luo Cheng and Elder Xu probably had sothing to discuss, so she left to boil water and make tea.
After Li Xiaoran left, Elder Xu looked at Luo Cheng’s study and nodded. “Your study is really simple. Other than books, there’s nothing else!”
“Why would I need other things?!” Luo Cheng looked at his study as he said matter-of-factly, “Since it’s a study, you naturally have to put books in it!”
“Yes, yes, yes. You have your reasons! Since you don’t even like those things, why did you find yourself a wife? Didn’t you always say that won were troubleso in the past?” Elder Xu asked.
At the ntion of Li Xiaoran, Luo Cheng’s expression softened.
“My wife is different!” At this point, Luo Cheng looked at Elder Xu. “Didn’t you praise her too?”
Elder Xu recalled what he had heard from Li Xiaoran and his eyes revealed a hint of admiration.
“That girl is quite nice! A woman with such benevolence is indeed admirable!”
When Luo Cheng heard Elder Xu say this, he revealed a smug expression.
“I have good taste, so of course my wife is very outstanding!”
As Elder Xu stared at Luo Cheng, he suddenly felt gratified.
Luo Cheng was much more cheerful and gregarious now. He would laugh and express anger, like a normal person.
The previous Luo Cheng was too standoffish and apathetic.
“Then you have to cherish this girl! I can tell that this girl is very extraordinary. You have to hold on to her tightly. Don’t be like back then! If I had been braver back then, perhaps everything would have been different!” Elder Xu recalled the past and said.
Luo Cheng glanced at Elder Xu and said, “No, even if you were brave back then, you would have been rejected by my mother! The situation wouldn’t have been much different!”
“Brat, don’t think that I can’t beat you up just because I’m old. I’ll punch you twice!” Elder Xu was furious.
“Save it! You’re too old. Look at you now. You actually want to punch twice?! Co over and extend your hand. Let examine you!” Luo Cheng glanced at Elder Xu calmly and said.
“Why examine ? My body is fine! There aren’t any problems!” Elder Xu said stubbornly.
“Are you a doctor or am I a doctor?!” Luo Cheng glanced at Elder Xu and then said impatiently, “If I ask you to co over, co over!”
When Elder Xu heard Luo Cheng’s words, his face was filled with reluctance, but he slowly walked over.
“Brat, don’t you know how to respect the elderly?! You’re the only one who has the guts to disrespect !”
As Elder Xu spoke, he stretched out his hand with resignation.
Luo Cheng couldn’t be bothered to argue with Elder Xu. He placed his hand on Elder Xu’s wrist.
Before long, Luo Cheng frowned.
After a while, Luo Cheng gestured for Elder Xu to change to his other hand.
As expected, his pulse was still off.
“Old man, have you been feeling pain in your ribs recently? Also, have you been in low spirits recently? Perhaps you don’t have much of an appetite and keep feeling lethargic?” Luo Cheng asked with a serious expression.
“That’s right! But aren’t these small problems? Perhaps it’s because I’m old, so I’m getting weaker!”
“Bullsh*t! You were poisoned, and it was a slow-acting poison! If you had co two or three months later, you would be in a coma!” Luo Cheng scolded.
When Elder Xu heard Luo Cheng’s words, he was stunned.
“Poisoned? That’s impossible!”
“How is it impossible? Do you still think you’re still the sa general who held military power in the past? Do you think no one dares to hurt you now? Think about it carefully. In the past few months, have there been any suspicious people around you? You were poisoned within these two months, and it should have been done by soone close to you. Otherwise, that person wouldn’t have the chance to poison you every day. The most lethal aspect of this poison is that it makes you weaker day by day, but you won’t notice it yourself. Ordinary doctors won’t notice it either. In the end, you’ll slip into a coma and die!” Luo Cheng explained the seriousness of the matter.
When Elder Xu heard this, his heart tightened and he stood up.
“Are you serious?”
“Why would I lie to you? What’s there to lie about?” Luo Cheng said angrily, “Haven’t you always thought of yourself as a tough man? Yet you didn’t even notice that there was sothing wrong with your body. I think you’re senile!”
