I am a support player in the cultivation world

Eastern Region, Linnan City.

"Mr. Lin, be careful with your steps. It's very humid this morning and the roads are slippery."

A big man, more than eight feet tall, with a burly build, rough looks, and wearing a black shorts, instructed an old man behind him.

He had a black iron axe hanging on his waist and a longbow and arrows on his back. He looked like a hunter in the mountains.

[Using the Qin Dynasty conversion, one foot is approximately equal to 23 centimeters]

The old man behind him looked rather thin, only about seven feet tall, with gray hair, a half-foot long goatee, and wearing a white linen shirt.

He was carrying a basket on his back, which contained dew-covered herbs such as Angelica dahurica and Bupleurum chinense, and holding a medicinal hoe in his hand. He must be a rural doctor.

Two people are looking for medicinal herbs in the mountains

"wow wow"

A child's cry came from the front.

The big man immediately took out his axe and protected Lin Lao.

After all, the sudden sound of a child crying in this deep forest was so strange that we had to be on guard.

The two men stood guard, and after a while, they found that nothing had happened. The big man prepared to escort Lin Lao down the mountain.

"Mr. Lin, let's step back and be gentle."

Old Lin nodded, and stepped back lightly as the big man said.

Just as the two men took a few steps back and prepared to leave the area, the child's crying became more heartbreaking.

Lin Lao's retreating steps stopped.

"Da Hu, I'd better go take a look. You wait here for me, and run away if there's any problem. What if there really is a child over there? We can't just leave it alone."

Old Lin couldn't bear it. After all, as a doctor, he has a kind heart.

Dahu is anxious

"Mr. Lin, how can this be possible? We should go down the mountain first. If you are worried, we can find a few more good hands to come up and look for it."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Lin frowned.

"How long will it take for us to come back? If it's really a child, will he still be alive?"

Seeing that Mr. Lin insisted, Da Hu was helpless.

After all, no one understood Lin Lao's kindness as well as he did. If it weren't for Lin Lao's selfless and unrewarded treatment, he would be a pile of dirt now.

Thinking of this, the big man did not stop him and gritted his teeth and said

"In that case, then Elder Lin, you stay behind me. Let's go together and see what it is."

"How can this be? I am the one who is going, how can I drag you into this? I will go and see, and if everything is ok, you can come back."

Mr. Lin retorted that after all, it was he who insisted on going, so how could he implicate others.

Besides, Da Hu is a family man. If something happens to him, what will happen to his wife and children?

"Mr. Lin, please stop talking. If you hadn't saved me, there wouldn't be Wang Dahu today. Besides, we are all fine now, and I don't think there is any danger ahead."

Old Lin was helpless. Dahu was a good boy, but he had a temper as stubborn as a bull.

Ever since he cured him, Da Hu would accompany and guard him every time he went up the mountain to collect herbs, and would occasionally bring him prey such as roe deer and pheasants that he had hunted, but it was of no use what he said.

Thinking of this, Elder Lin stopped talking and just said

"If there is anything, leave first. You are still young and have a wife and children. You can't let anything happen to you."

"Don't worry, Mr. Lin. I know what's going on."

Da Hu agreed, but of course, no one knew what he was thinking.

After the two of them had discussed it, they tiptoed forward.

As the two moved forward, they got closer and closer to the child's crying, and the child's crying became weaker and weaker.

When Wang Dahu once again pushed aside the branches in front of him, he saw a small pool of water with duckweed floating on it. On the green grass not far from the pool was a white baby.

Da Hu carefully observed the surroundings and found nothing unusual, so he nodded back.

Mr. Lin immediately stepped forward and picked up the baby

"What a sin! This little girl was just born. Her eyes haven't even opened yet. Who is so cruel to abandon this child on this mountain? Isn't this going to kill her?"

Old Lin looked at the naked child and hurriedly took off his coat to wrap him up.

"Ah, little girl, that's no wonder."

Da Hu was not surprised. After all, many families would rather raise a boy with a congenital disease than a healthy girl.

"Mr. Lin, let's go down the mountain first. The child has just been born. Let my wife make some rice soup for her."

Hearing this, Elder Lin didn't care that he had gone up the mountain to collect herbs. He followed Wang Dahu down the mountain. The two of them went down the mountain with the child, talking as they walked.

"Mr. Lin, what are you going to do with this child?"

Wang Dahu led the way, followed by Old Lin holding the child.

"What can I do? Maybe someone will adopt a boy. But no one will raise a girl, so I'll just keep her!"

Old Lin was helpless. Although he was a doctor, he had been charging the cost price for treating the people and did not have much savings. But people often helped him, so he managed to get by.

"But..., Mr. Lin, don't you still have Changsheng to take care of?"

Da Hu also knew about Lin Lao's situation. After his grandson was born, his son took his wife to the county town to do business. He never came back, leaving behind only an old man and a child.

With everyone's help, I raised my child until he was seven years old. Now is the time to spend money on his enlightenment. If I raise another child, my life will be stretched to the limit.

How could Mr. Lin not know his own situation? But the child had already been picked up, so he couldn't just throw him back.

"Well, give her something to eat. Life may be tough, but it will get better."

After hearing this, Da Hu knew that it was useless to say more. He could only secretly plan to hunt more pheasants for Lin Lao in the future.

"Then Elder Lin, please give this child a name. It is fate that she met you."

Mr. Lin was silent for a moment. “Life is like duckweed, floating between heaven and earth. Since I found her by the duckweed pond, I’ll call her Lin Duckweed.”
