When Lu Nanzhi entered the forest, he saw a straw shed made of broad-leaf grass.
Under the hut lay an old woman with gray hair. She was curled up on the ground, coughing constantly. In front of her was a bowl that was short of water, half filled with not very clean water.
Xiaochun held the old woman's arm and tried her best to lift her up. Her face turned red from suppressing it, but her thin legs were so trembling that she almost fell down.
"Grandma, now that I have money, I will take you to the city to see a doctor."
Grandma Xiaochun looked pale and closed her eyes tightly. She was too weak to respond to Xiaochun.
"Let her go. If you keep tossing her, she will really die." Lu Nanzhi walked over and after thinking for a moment, he took out the lowest level soul-reviving pill from the Qiankun bag.
She broke the soul-reviving pill that was originally meant for the monks into four portions, took only one portion and fed it to Grandma Xiaochun.
After Lu Nanzhi finished doing this, he looked up and met Xiaochun's grateful eyes.
"Sister Fairy, thank you very much for your willingness to save my grandma," Xiaochun held out the spiritual stone almost reverently, "I only have this spiritual stone you gave me. I don't know if it is enough as a reward..."
The little girl neither thought about why Lu Nazhi wanted to save her grandma, nor did she doubt whether there would be any problems with the medicine Lu Nazhi fed her grandma. The first thing she considered was that she did not have enough remuneration to give her.
Lu Nazhi waved his hands, and although he couldn't bear it, he still said: "No need, I'm just trying it, and I'm not sure whether this method is feasible."
"This medicine is meant for monks. Although I have reduced the dosage, your grandma is too weak and may not be able to bear it."
Xiaochun lowered his head, rubbed his eyes and said softly: "I know, the fairy sister is willing to give me a spiritual stone, and is also willing to use the medicine for the monk to save my grandma, I am already satisfied."
Lu Nanzhi felt something stuck in her chest, and she stroked the little girl's head as comfort.
The two waited for a while. Grandma Xiaochun, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly coughed violently several times, and then heard her old voice trembling: "Xiaochun, water."
Xiaochun suddenly jumped up in surprise, "Wake up! My grandma is awake! Fairy sister, you really saved my grandma!"
A smile appeared on Lu Nazhi's lips as she watched Xiaochun feed her grandma the half bowl of muddy water.
When Grandma Xiaochun's condition got better, Lu Nanzhi finally mentioned the purpose of her trip.
"Xiaochun, what is your wish?"
Xiaochun looked at her puzzled, "Sister Lu, you gave me the spirit stone and saved my grandma, why are you asking me what my wish is?"
Lu Nanzhi smiled and said softly: "Didn't you call me fairy sister? Fairies come to earth to fulfill people's wishes."
Although she was in poverty, Xiaochun was still a child with the unique innocence of a child. She believed Lu Nanzhi's words without any doubt.
"Yes!" Xiaochun blurted out without thinking, "Sister Fairy, I make a wish to you. I hope I can go home. I hope my home can be restored to its original state!"
"Xiaochun, you are talking nonsense!" Grandma Xiaochun finally spoke after a while. She apologized on Xiaochun's behalf, "Master Xian, thank you for saving me. Xiaochun is still a child and is not sensible, so just think of her as talking nonsense."
Lu Nazhi heard this increasingly outrageous title and quickly corrected it: "My name is Lu Nazhi, you can just call me Nanzhi. Grandma Xiaochun, what happened to your family?"
Grandma Xiaochun let out a long sigh.
"Those of us originally lived in Shuiqiao Village in Ji Le Prefecture, which is right at the junction of Ji Le Township and Netherworld Prefecture."
"There are many people traveling between Netherworld and Paradise Prefecture every year, so every household in Shuiqiao Village makes a living by running restaurants and hotels."
"But since last year, for some reason, demons from Netherworld State have been harassing us. They have kidnapped the girls in the village, taken our money, and also kidnapped many young people and forced them to be slaves."
last year? Lu Nanzhi recalled it at once, wasn't that the time when she was reborn?
It was at that time that Qin Yuan took the position of crown prince.
"We first asked the government of Paradise State for help, but they said they didn't dare to provoke the demons on their own without instructions from above."
"Later, we asked the sects in Paradise State for help, hoping that they could send some monks to help us drive away those demons. But they said that attacking the demons is very energy-consuming, and we need to pay high fees to ask the elders to come forward to solve the problem."
"But our whole village has been messed up by the demons. How can we pay so much money?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Nanzhi knew that those sects in Paradise State were simply lying.
In fact, there are only a few scattered small sects in Paradise State, and the big sects in Kyushu disdain to touch places like Paradise State.
Those small sects said they were dealing with the demons, and they might in turn pay protection fees to them if they angered the demons.
Grandma Xiaochun suppressed the tears in her eyes and continued: "We really have no choice but to leave our hometown and think about finding a place to settle down."
"We have always heard that Xianzhou is a good place with abundant spiritual energy. There are sects and many powerful monks. We thought it would be safe here, but unexpectedly, we were stopped outside the city and couldn't even enter. "
"We spent all our money on the way here. In order not to starve to death, we had to find a place outside the city to grow something to feed ourselves first."
"But the people from the Xianzhou government came again and said that we are not allowed to cultivate wasteland privately. If we want to farm, we have to pay rent. But we are starving to death, how can we have money to pay rent!"
"We can't go back, and no one cares about us here. Gradually, some people get sick and starve to death..."
Grandma Xiaochun recalled the despair and helplessness and closed her eyes in pain.
Lu Nanzhi looked at the city gate not far away and fell into deep thought.
Whether it is a government office or a sect that cultivates immortals, protecting mortals is what they should do.
Ordinary people in Kyushu have to pay two taxes every year, one to the government as a fee for renting their fields.
Another copy is given to the local cultivating sect. The sect that receives this money from mortals is responsible for ensuring their safety, which is equivalent to a kind of protection fee.
But now the government offices and immortal sects in Paradise Prefecture have accepted offerings from mortals but have not fulfilled their obligations. Instead, they have shut them out and allowed the demons to oppress them.
Lu Nazhi was calm on the surface, but the spiritual power escaping from her body revealed her anger.
Before she could say anything, a friendly shout came from the distance.
"Baby girl, here I come!"
Under the hut lay an old woman with gray hair. She was curled up on the ground, coughing constantly. In front of her was a bowl that was short of water, half filled with not very clean water.
Xiaochun held the old woman's arm and tried her best to lift her up. Her face turned red from suppressing it, but her thin legs were so trembling that she almost fell down.
