Chapter 398: Farmers Recovering

Hearing his grandfather's scolding, the boy felt confused and aggrieved, but he was well aware of his grandfather's authority and experience, so he didn't dare to disobey in the slightest.

He quickly lowered his head and said to Wu Ming in a voice tinged with tears: "I was young and ignorant, and my words offended the Immortal Master. I truly deserve death! I beg the Immortal Master to be magnanimous and forgive my mistakes!"

Wu Ming looked at the frightened young man in front of him and couldn't help feeling a trace of pity in his heart.

He quickly waved his hand and said gently, "It's okay, I don't care about these things. Just treat me as an ordinary passerby. There's no need to be so formal, and there's no need to call me Immortal Master."

After hearing Wu Ming's words, the young man felt a little more at ease.

He looked at Wu Ming gratefully, then turned to look at his grandfather, as if waiting for his grandfather's instructions.

Seeing this, the old man quickly apologized to Wu Ming, saying, "Master, please forgive me for making a fool of myself. My father and I are both country folk who have never seen the world and don't know any etiquette. Just now, this child was ignorant and offended you. I hope you won't blame me."

Wu Ming smiled slightly and said, "Old man, you are too kind. I don't mean to blame you. It's just that I'm new here and don't know much about the situation here, so I asked you some questions."

Seeing Wu Ming being so easy-going, the tension on the old man's face gradually eased.

He sighed and said, "Master, you may not know that my grandfather and I live in a village nearby.

This is a remote mountain forest, and few people come here on weekdays. As for the specific location, I can't really say for sure, but I only know there's a small town nearby called Qingping Town."

Wu Ming nodded slightly, indicating that he had a preliminary understanding of the environment here.

He thought for a moment, then asked, "So, how far is Qingping Town from here? I'm lost now and really don't know how to get there."

Hearing Wu Ming's inquiry about the situation in the area, the old man quickly replied, "Master, we are villagers from the nearby Xiaochen Village. Our village is over a hundred miles away from the nearest market town, Qingping Town!"

After listening to the old man's introduction, Wu Ming had a general understanding of his current position.

This place was not far from where they had fought fiercely before. It seemed that the earth escape talisman only took him more than ten miles away.

"So, you two are from Xiaochen Village. I'm seriously injured and need a place to recuperate. Could you please let me stay in your village for a while?"

Wu Ming took the opportunity to express his desire to live in their home.

However, after hearing Wu Ming's request, the old man did not immediately agree.

There was a trace of conflict on his face, and he was obviously weighing the pros and cons in his mind, and whether doing so would bring safety risks to himself and his family.

"Of course it's convenient, as long as big brother doesn't mind that our living quarters are so simple!" The boy's voice revealed a hint of excitement and anticipation.

However, while the old man was still thinking about whether he should agree to Wu Ming's request, the young man next to him couldn't wait to speak.

His face was filled with an enthusiastic smile, as if he was very interested in the proposal.

Seeing this, Wu Ming couldn't help but feel grateful.

He quickly said to the young man, "Young man, you are indeed kind-hearted. I would like to thank you in advance."

His tone was sincere and genuine, making people feel his sincerity and kindness.

The old man heard the conversation between the two and sighed inwardly.

He knew that there was no room for maneuver in this matter. Since his grandson had already agreed, he could not refuse.

Saving lives is like putting out a fire, and time is pressing, so he could only reluctantly acquiesce to his grandson's decision.

So the old man watched his grandson carry Wu Ming on his back and walk towards his home.

Along the way, Wu Ming and the boy chatted as they walked, and their topics ranged from daily life to interesting stories in the underworld.

Wu Ming also had a certain understanding of the boy, and the boy was full of curiosity and envy about Wu Ming's identity as a master.

During the conversation, Wu Ming discovered that although the boy was young, he possessed intelligence and kindness far beyond that of ordinary people.

As Wu Ming consciously brought the two closer, their relationship became increasingly close.

After all, the recognition of a young man who is just starting out from a high and mighty immortal master is more convincing than any praise.

This recognition is not only an affirmation of the teenager's ability, but also a rare trust and encouragement.

As a result, Wu Ming learned detailed information about the two people. The old man was named Chen Qingshi, and he was a herbalist who was born and raised in Xiaochen Village.

His grandson, the young man carrying Wu Ming on his back, is called Chen Xiaolong.

The child lost his parents at a young age and was raised with great difficulty by his grandfather Chen Qingshi.

Grandpa Chen Qingshi’s greatest wish is to enable his grandson to become the almighty immortal master, so that he can escape from the bottom of society and live a rich and respected life.

Time flies, and an hour passed in a flash. Wu Ming finally saw Chen Xiaolong and his friends' village.

It was a quiet and quaint little village with neatly arranged houses scattered among the green mountains and clear waters, giving people a feeling of being at peace with the world.

Days passed, and before Wu Ming knew it, three days had passed at Chen Xiaolong's house.

On this day, Wu Ming suddenly felt that his body seemed to have regained some strength and he could try to get up from the bed.

He carefully moved his body and slowly sat up. Although the movement was a little slow, it was a good start after all.

After some effort, Wu Ming finally managed to stand up and slowly walked out of this seemingly simple room.

As soon as he opened the door, Wu Ming saw the three members of the Chen family busy in the yard.

Old Master Chen was sorting the herbs he had collected, while Chen Xiaolong's grandmother was helping to dry them, and Chen Xiaolong was practicing a set of body-building boxing techniques.

Chen Xiaolong, who was concentrating on practicing, suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure walking out of the room out of the corner of his eye.

He looked closely and found that it was Wu Ming!

Chen Xiaolong was overjoyed and immediately stopped practicing. He quickly walked forward and asked with a smile on his face, "Brother Wu, have you recovered from your injuries?"

Wu Ming smiled and shook his head, replying, "I'm not fully recovered yet, but I can already walk around a bit. I'm really grateful to you and your family for taking care of me these past few days!"

His words revealed his gratitude to Chen Xiaolong's family.

Hearing Wu Ming's thanks, Chen Qingshi hurried forward and said modestly, "Master, you are too kind. It is our family's honor to take care of you."

His attitude seemed a little fearful. After all, Wu Mingke was an immortal master, and such an identity made him feel awe.
