Fishing succubus is good at raising fish

After a busy day, Shen Shaotang packed up and returned to Qiu's house before night fell.

The moonlight was as pale as water, and it slanted down from the window sill, outlining half of his silhouette, making his face more serious.

one two Three……

"Dongdong——" round copper coins fell from his hand and were held by his other palm.

Only ten cents left.

Shen Shaotang looked at his only "family belongings" left, and sighed softly, wondering if Qiu's family would save his life if he suffered an unfortunate illness in the future.

"System, can I change my task value to another skill?"

"sure."

Shen Shaotang's eyes lit up, and he rummaged through the system space. The dazzling array of skill buttons made him dizzy for a while.

He asked, "Do you have the skill to turn stone into gold?"

The system regretfully told him, "No."

The skill points are mainly for auxiliary functions, it is impossible for the host to get rich overnight, and it is also impossible for him to reach the sky in one step. These roads require him to walk down-to-earth.

"However, I can suppress your attack three times." The system said after pondering for a while.

Shen Shaotang's mood suddenly brightened, and when he didn't have to worry about his life, he suddenly remembered one thing, what disease did the original body suffer from?

The system told him that this was a chronic disease, and the specific cause was hemmed and hawed, unable to explain clearly.

In the early morning of the next day, Shen Shaotang went to pay his respects to the old lady as usual.But the strange thing was that through the bead curtain, the old lady seemed extremely unwilling to speak, and just waved her hand at him.

When he went out, he asked Suxue in detail.

Su Xue said: "The old lady was unwell last night, and she couldn't get up this morning no matter how much she shouted, she will call Miss San to come and have a look later."

Shen Shaotang was thoughtful, if he asked other doctors to see him, he might not be at ease, it would be most suitable for Qiu Zi to see him.

But when he came back at night, Shen Shaotang passed by that room, seeing the faint light, he couldn't help but stop.

Suxue was talking to a maid, her face was stern: "A bowl of medicine boiled for [-] minutes, you spilled the medicine now, what do you want the old lady to drink?!"

The careless maid almost cried, "I... what should I do."

"Get out, get out of Qiu's house now!" Su Xue pointed to the door with one finger.

Shen Shaotang, who was walking in through the gate, made the two of them freeze for a moment, and there was a burst of pain in the room, Suxue frowned upon seeing this:

"What are you doing here?"

Shen Shaotang looked stern, stepped forward and said: "It will take [-] minutes to decoct the medicine, how can the old lady wait for her illness? Why don't you let me go in and have a look, maybe there is a way to help."

"You're not a doctor, how can you help?" Su Xue turned her head and snorted coldly.

However, Shen Shaotang stood in front of the door without moving.

After a while, the old lady's voice sounded from inside the door: "Let him in."

Suxue and the maid were obviously surprised. Generally speaking, it was because the old lady was ill and confused that she said such words.

Suxue looked at him even more suspiciously, looked at each other for a moment, and then reluctantly opened the door.

"Thank you."

Shen Shaotang stepped over the threshold, and the smell of Chinese medicine in the room made him frown.

When he got closer, he could only hear the slight collision sound from the beaded curtain, and a hand with bulging veins, shriveled like dried bacon, slowly stretched out.

Although the old lady is more than half a hundred years old, she looks very old, and now this disease is more obvious.

"Come here." Her voice was very soft, as if she was whispering in a dream.

Shen Shaotang walked over obediently, squatted down beside the bed, her face was just enough for that hand to touch.

The old lady's hand touched his face, from the top of the head to the cheeks, and then to the chin, as if she was overjoyed, but also seemed to be puzzled, so she carefully checked back and forth.

From Shen Shaotang's perspective, he could only see the red satin quilt on the old lady's body, and the latter could only see the top of his head.

"He'er, just now I was talking to you in a dream, and I blamed you for not going home to take a look, so you came back to see your mother..." The old lady's voice suppressed sadness, and at the end of the sentence, she was already weeping with joy.

Shen Shaotang was silent and didn't speak for a while.

"He'er, raise your head up."

He mustered up the courage to raise his head, and looked at the old lady. Her hair was a little messy, and her gray hair had grown a lot. Her face was haggard, and she looked at the end of the bed from the jade pillow.

The old lady's gaze was not focused, but the light in it was extraordinarily bright: "You were standing outside the door just now, and your figure is very similar to He'er." She slowly put down her hand.

"If He'er is still here, she should be as old as you."

Shen Shaotang put his fingers on the edge of the bed, curled up slightly, and said, "I am willing to be filial to you for Ahe, but what is your body feeling uncomfortable?"

The old lady turned sideways, showing half of her stiff legs, she sighed: "These legs were not cured in the early years, and now they are sick again."

My daughter came to see her today, and she was relieved by acupuncture, but the effect was minimal after drinking a few bowls of medicine.

As for what disease the old lady had, Shen Shaotang asked the system to find out just now while she was touching her face, and exchanged the task value for a "massage" skill by the way.

At this time, Shen Shaotang didn't say any more, and put his hand on the old lady's calf, pressed the acupuncture point, and while testing the strength, he asked: "Mother, if the strength is too heavy, open your mouth."

"..."

It took Shen Shaotang a lot of effort to press several acupoints, plus lightly beating and massaging, to disperse the blood under the skin. After a set of massages, he could not take it anymore.

The old lady's eyes became more and more clear, every rib in her body seemed to be free, and the muscles in her legs no longer ached.

With scrutiny in her eyes, she asked, "Where did you learn this?"

"It was given to me by my grandfather when he was alive, but I only learned a little bit." Shen Shaotang answered without complaint, bowing his head.

Grandfather... The old lady thought about it for a while, but she still couldn't remember who the grandfather he was talking about was. On second thought, maybe he was a hermit who was indifferent to fame and fortune and didn't want to be known by outsiders.

"Your hands are much more precious than your paintings." She said suddenly.

Shen Shaotang paused for a while, then continued.

The old lady sighed with relief: "He Er disregarded me and his father's obstruction at the beginning, and was determined to marry you into the family. He valued you more than life, and now I only have one wish..."

"You can't let him down and ruin his reputation."

"Mother, don't worry, I will be the ghost of the Qiu family even if I die." Shen Shaotang said seriously, almost reflexively answering, because he had heard these words countless times on weekdays.

"Hmm..." The old lady nodded with a little satisfaction.

After a while, the old lady also keenly noticed that he seemed to be in a bad state of mind.

At this moment, she couldn't say any sarcasm, but just pretended to say casually: "You are weak, and you always take medicine to treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and you will harm yourself in the future."

"I have a sense of proportion, so mother doesn't have to worry about it."

The old lady did not give up, and after a while, she spoke again: "I heard from some fellow villagers that there is a temple on Yaoshan Mountain, which is dedicated to the gods who manifest spirits and will help pious people who pray. Many people go to fulfill their wishes. You How about going to try it?"

When people get old, they believe things that are not true.

Shen Shaotang didn't believe it at all, seeing that the time was almost up, he just smiled: "Mother comforted me, I will keep all these in my heart."

After finishing speaking, he put away his hands, straightened the hem of his clothes, and made a bow.

The old lady could only shut up, she nodded and watched him go out.

At this time, just as Shen Shaotang walked to the door, he met Qiu Yan head-on. The other party was also a little surprised when he saw him, but still called him "sister-in-law" politely.

Shen Shaotang paused slightly, then walked faster.

Depressedly thinking in his heart, these days, he still finds it difficult to accept this title.
