Big dreamer

"Cough cough", "cough cough"...

Shen Luo suddenly woke up from the bed amid a sudden coughing fit. He opened his mouth wide and took a few deep breaths. He quickly took out a small bottle from under the pillow, poured out a yellow pellet the size of a bean and swallowed it.

After he sat motionless on the bed for a while, feeling the tightness and coldness in his chest gradually subsided, he breathed a sigh of relief.

After Shen Luo smiled bitterly, he slowly put on the clothes neatly folded on the chair next to him, and then glanced at the desk in the corner out of habit.

There was a light yellow shabby book lying quietly on the table, with "Chun Hua Wei Wen Zhi" written in five neat small black characters on the surface.

Shen Luo frowned, then looked away, slowly opened the door and walked out of the house.

"The eldest son."

There was a young man in green clothes who looked about twelve or thirteen years old standing outside the door. When he saw Shen Luo coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet her.

In the distance, there are a large and continuous group of houses with red tiles and white walls. There are about forty or fifty houses of various sizes in total.

"How many times did I cough last night? Is there any other movement?" Shen Luo glanced at the boy and asked lightly.

"My eldest son, you coughed thirteen times last night, but there was no other sound." The young man replied with some dark bags under his eyes, feeling vaguely afraid of Shen Luo.

Shen Luo nodded and walked straight past the boy without asking any more questions.

The young man in green clothes followed closely behind him.

After Shen Luo walked through several long corridors and an acres of garden, he walked to a building that looked like a main hall.

The two maids standing in front of the hall saw him and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, looking equally afraid of Shen Luo.

"Luo'er, you're here. How did you rest last night? Come in quickly and drink some ginseng soup. I asked my servants to cook it for you just now." A man's concerned voice came from the hall.

"My dear father, I'm thinking of you. My child had a good rest last night." Shen Luo's expression moved slightly and he replied before walking into the hall.

There was a round table filled with delicacies in the hall. Several people were sitting around it. The main seat was a middle-aged man in his forties. His hair was slightly gray, and he looked a bit premature. Declined appearance.

The middle-aged man is Shen Yuange, Shen Luo's father, and he is looking at Shen Luo happily at this moment.

"Brother Luo, wake up! Xiaocui, hurry up and serve the ginseng soup. Didn't you hear the master's instructions?" A beautiful woman with beaded hair next to Shen Yuange barely smiled when she saw Shen Luo.

"Thank you for your help."

Shen Luo nodded to the woman lukewarmly.

"Brother."

"Brother."

A young man and a young girl next to the woman also stood up and said hello to Shen Luo. They were about fourteen or fifteen years old, and their faces were somewhat similar to Shen Luo's. They were his half-brothers and sisters. , one is called Shen Ci and the other is called Shen Mumu.

The two were born from the same child, but their reactions to Shenluo were very different at this moment.

His younger brother Shen Ci looked at Shen Luo with evasive eyes, and his expressions were somewhat similar to those of the servants.

After saying hello, the younger sister Shen Mumu looked like a restless and curious baby. She seemed to want to ask the eldest brother Shen Luo something, but she looked at Shen Yuange beside him and hesitated.

Shen sat down, drank the ginseng soup the maid held, and after eating a few more mouthfuls of food, he frowned, put down his chopsticks, and stopped eating.

"Luo'er, since you've finished eating, come to the study with me. I have some business matters to tell you." Seeing this, Shen Yuange became even more worried and said this.

Shen Luo nodded, said goodbye to the woman, and followed Shen Yuange out of the hall.

The woman looked a little ugly when she saw this scene.

Shen Ci could not hide the envy on his face, but Shen Mumu pouted her red lips, very dissatisfied that her father and "eldest brother" Shen Luo finished eating and left so quickly.

…

"Luo'er, were you really okay last night?" Shen Yuange asked Shen Luo with concern as soon as he sat down in the middle of the study.

"Don't worry, father, nothing happened last night. The 'thing' didn't happen again. It's just that my body is getting worse. Even with the 'Golden Fragrance Jade' I personally prepared, I'm afraid I won't be able to last for a few years. This body is not ordinary at all." The medicinal stone can be used to prepare it." Shen Luo shook his head and replied.

"Hey, Luo'er, you are really sick and prone to disasters. Originally, your mother had a fetal abnormality when she was pregnant with you, which made you weak and sick since you were a child. But last year, you were plagued by evil spirits, and that's why you got such a serious disease. If there really is a What if I go to see your mother? I promised your mother that I would take good care of you." Shen Yuange sighed, with a hint of pain on his face.

"Father, you should think about the good things. If I hadn't been sick for a long time and became a doctor, and formulated several pills such as 'Jinxiangyu', how could the Shen family have created such a big family business. Our family can be considered a blessing in disguise." Shen Luo Said with a smile.

"That's true. When it comes to Shen Family Medical Center and Shen Family Pharmacy Store in Chunhua County, everyone knows about it. Even the county magistrate, Mr. Wang, now takes a high look at our Shen Family." After hearing this, Shen Yuange became slightly energetic. Vibrate.

"That's because my father is a good man. He gave a bottle of the golden jade to Mr. Wang and cured his only son's tuberculosis. Otherwise, with the current wealth of our Shen family, we would have run into some trouble." Shen Luo remained calm. He flattered his father a few words.

"Haha, it's only because of the cooperation between you and me that we can create such a big business for the Shen family. Unfortunately, you don't want to be famous, so I have to attribute the blending of these pills to the ancient recipe I accidentally discovered. Only you and I know about this matter, and I haven’t even revealed anything about it to your second mother and my siblings. Therefore, if there is anything that offends your second mother, I hope that for the sake of my father, I won’t take it too seriously. "Come on. After all, your mother-in-law comes from a small family, with long hair and short knowledge." Shen Yuange laughed happily, then thought of something and said hesitantly.

"Father, how can I take Er Niang's affairs to heart! Besides, if I am gone, the Shen family will still need the second brother to support me. My biggest wish now is to get rid of the evil spirits in my body. Otherwise, I don't have to wait until a few years later. I'm afraid I'm going to die." After being silent for a moment, Shen Luo couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"You say that, and I feel relieved. Anyway, everything is going well with our family. How is your health now? I remember your last attack was seven days ago." Shen Yuange's expression relaxed after hearing this, but he immediately regained his composure. He asked worriedly.

"Yes, the last time I had an attack, I almost strangled Huang Taixian to death. Last year, the golden monk who claimed to be a golden Arhat descended to earth was also beaten to death by me after I had an attack. They have no magic at all, they are completely These charlatans." Shen Luo replied bitterly, his face darkening.

"But Huang Daxian and Monk Jinguang are already the most famous exorcists in nearby counties. The others are even more swindlers. Otherwise, my father will send someone to the city to look for them." After hearing this, Shen Yuange also Somewhat helpless.

"No need. The city is too far away. Secondly, how can I find an exorcist when I am unfamiliar with the place? Even if I find one, nine times out of ten he will be a liar from Wong Tai Sin and his ilk. I am having attacks faster and faster now. I can't wait so long," Shen Luo refused without hesitation.

"What Luo'er means..." Shen Yuange, who knew his eldest son well, was a little surprised.
