Demon Lord 3

Chapter 1958 Poor parents in the world

Before we could even put the map we'd just received to good use, we ran into another problem. It was pouring rain that day, and we all stayed inside our tents. The rain intensified, and our tents couldn't withstand the cold wind. We were in a dilemma: if we went out, we'd get soaked; if we stayed, the tents would flood sooner or later. Although we'd completed our mission at the summit, our base was still at the foot of the mountain, where flooding had already begun. When I opened the tent, I found ourselves in mud and water. Zhou Chuyuan quickly scooped me up and carried me to a drier spot. The other members of our group slowly emerged from their tents. Seeing the situation, we were all at a loss. We put on our raincoats and then tried to move the tents to the summit. But as soon as we came out, a fierce wind picked up, tearing our raincoats and blowing two tents away. The wind and rain were getting incredibly strong, so we had no choice but to try and reach the summit. The rain stopped when we were almost there, but what a soaking experience we'd had to endure along the way! Thinking it over carefully, there was a possibility of mudslides and landslides, and going uphill wasn't necessarily safe. Wu Luanshen suddenly had a bright idea: "I have a plan! Let's not follow the usual routine. Think about it, there haven't been any strong winds or rainstorms for the past few days. Now that strong winds and rainstorms have started, doesn't that prove that the weather is different from usual? This might be the best time for us to enter the cave. There might be spiritual energy inside, or there might be treasure. Going uphill is the right thing to do. The entrance might be at the top of the mountain, and the possibility of mudslides is also high. I think the organizers are betting that those people won't dare to go up. Secondly, those animals will definitely hide on the mountain. The area below has already flooded, and the water level is rising. Only the top is relatively better." Actually, I could already think of the latter. Maybe we'll even see some small animals! When we were halfway there, we saw a mother and child. They weren't wearing raincoats or carrying umbrellas; the mother was carrying the child on her back. I was curious, but I didn't dare to blindly approach. Only later did I gradually see the mother more clearly. Seeing that we were wearing raincoats and had umbrellas, she asked to borrow some from us, pulling out her wallet. It contained crumpled bills, but a considerable amount. I shook my head, refusing the money, and instead gave them an umbrella. The mother thanked us, but the child kept his eyes closed and didn't speak, seemingly unhappy. I looked closely at the child; his face was pale, probably from the cold. Shivering, I pulled a hand warmer from my bag and handed it to her, saying, "Use this first, it's cold outside. Don't you have a tent?" The mother replied, "No, we had a tent before, but the strong winds blew it all away. Now, besides this little bit of money, we have nothing else." I've heard this person possesses spiritual energy, so I brought my child here to try and absorb some. My child is sick and won't get better, so we had no choice but to try this place. After hearing this, Lin Zhenfei stepped forward, saying, "Sister, could you let me take a look at this child? I've studied medicine." The woman was slightly taken aback at first, somewhat skeptical, but then... He felt relieved; after all, the child was on the verge of death if they didn't get checked soon. Lin Zhenfei held the child, checked his breathing and pulse, and then returned the child to the woman: "On the surface, this child seems to have caught a cold that hasn't healed and has slowly seeped into the bone marrow. If you look closely, it seems like something bad has gotten into the child. Has he been frightened recently, or is he having some unspoken worries? As parents, you should take a closer look!" The mother hadn't considered this possibility and quickly replied, "I don't know. The child shouldn't have any problems, right? For me, it's all about the child..." "I can only teach and nurture him; I haven't thought about anything else. What exactly do you mean? I didn't quite understand." Lin Zhenfei said bluntly, "This child's health is poor; it's clear from his appearance that he caught a cold. Traditional Chinese medicine can help, and I'll prescribe a formula for you to get the medicine. But these are only temporary solutions. The main problem is psychological; he may have encountered some evil spirits. In this case, we can only exorcise them. Recite some incantations for the child. I'll write you a note when I get back, and I'll guide you on how to do it." After hearing this, the mother couldn't help but thank him quickly.
