Jiang Han walked forward and gently held the old man's wrist. A gentle force flowed into the old man's body through his fingers. Jiang Han frowned slightly and carefully felt the condition of the old man's body. After a while, he let go of his hand, and a solemn look appeared on his face. "The old man's condition is very serious. It is caused by long-term fatigue and malnutrition. If it is not treated in time, I am afraid..." Jiang Han did not finish his words, but Ye Fan and Tingting understood what he meant.
Tingting's tears flowed again. She tightly grasped the corner of Jiang Han's clothes and cried, "Big brother, please save grandpa. Tingting begs you." Ye Fan looked at Tingting's pitiful appearance and felt sorry for her. He looked at Jiang Han and said, "Master, you must have a way, right?"
Jiang Han nodded and said, "I do have a way, but it requires some herbs. Ye Fan, go to the nearby pharmacy and get the medicine according to the prescription I gave you." As he spoke, Jiang Han wrote down a list of herbs on a piece of paper and handed it to Ye Fan. Ye Fan took the prescription and immediately turned around to go out and get the medicine.
After Ye Fan left, Jiang Han comforted Tingting and asked her to wait outside. Then, he began to look around the room. He found that although the room was simple, it was very clean. There were some old portraits hanging on the wall, and one of them caught his attention. The painting showed a man in ancient costume, with an imposing manner and an extraordinary temperament in his eyes. Jiang Han's heart moved, and he guessed that this man might be the God King Jiang Taixu.
After a while, Ye Fan came back with the herbs. Jiang Han immediately started to boil the medicine. He skillfully lit the fire, put the herbs into the pot, and watched the fire carefully. Soon, the aroma of the medicine filled the whole room. Jiang Han brought the boiled medicine to the bedside, gently helped the old man up, and fed him spoonful by spoonful.
During the process of feeding the medicine, the old man's body trembled slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes. Seeing Jiang Han and Ye Fan, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. "Who... are you?" the old man asked weakly.
Jiang Han smiled and said, "Old man, we are just passing by. We saw Tingting was very pitiful, so we wanted to help you. Please don't talk for now, have a good rest, and drink this medicine, your condition will slowly get better." The old man nodded slightly, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes.
In the next few days, Jiang Han and Ye Fan stayed in the restaurant to take care of the old man and Tingting. Under Jiang Han's careful care, the old man's condition gradually improved. His face began to become rosy, and his breathing became steady and strong. Tingting watched her grandfather's condition getting better day by day, and her face was smiling more and more.
One day, the old man's body had basically recovered. He looked at Jiang Han and Ye Fan with gratitude and said, "Thank you two for saving me and Tingting. My name is Jiang Zheng, and I'm the owner of this restaurant. If it weren't for you, I would probably be dead."
Jiang Han smiled and said, "Mr. Jiang, you are too polite. We came here by chance, and seeing Tingting and your situation, we couldn't bear to ignore you. By the way, Mr. Jiang, I want to ask, what is your relationship with the Divine King Jiang Taixu?"
When Jiang Zheng heard the words "Divine King Jiang Taixu", a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He looked at Jiang Han and said, "To be honest, Divine King Jiang Taixu is my ancestor. Our Jiang family was once a prominent family, but later we encountered some misfortunes and the family gradually declined. I brought my family here and opened this restaurant to make a living."
Jiang Han was delighted. His guess was right. "Mr. Jiang, if that's the case, I want to send you and Tingting back to the Jiang family. The Jiang family is no longer what it used to be. I'm sure they hope you can go back." Jiang Han said.
Jiang Zheng showed a hint of hesitation in his eyes. He looked at Tingting and said, "I've gotten used to life here, and after so many years, I'm not sure whether the Jiang family still recognizes us."
Jiang Han smiled and said, "Mr. Jiang, don't worry. I have some connections with the Jiang family and will help you arrange everything. Returning to the Jiang family, Tingting will also have a better living and learning environment, which will also be good for her growth."
Jiang Zheng thought for a moment and finally nodded. "Thank you for your help, benefactor." He said gratefully.
After arranging the return to Jiang's house, Jiang Han took Ye Fan, Jiang Zheng and Tingting on the journey to Jiang's house. Along the way, Tingting was very excited and she was full of expectations for her future life. Jiang Han and Ye Fan were thinking about the next trip.
After several days of trekking, they finally arrived at the Jiang family. The gate of the Jiang family was magnificent, and the stone lions in front of the gate were majestic, showing the extraordinaryness of this family. Jiang Han led everyone into the Jiang family, and immediately some clan members came to inquire. Jiang Han stated his purpose, and after hearing Jiang Zheng's identity, the clan members
"Big brother, grandpa was taken away by bad guys, but grandpa said he would come back..." The little girl Tingting's voice was full of tears, and her small body was shaking slightly because of sobbing. As she spoke, her eyes turned red again, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and tears fell. She lowered her head, looked at her pair of shoes full of patches, and whispered: "But... but three days have passed, and grandpa hasn't come back yet..." The voice was full of helplessness and worry, as if a lost bird was looking for a warm nest in the dark.
Tap, tap, tap! Just then, a sound of footsteps was heard, and a middle-aged woman walked in. Her footsteps were a little heavy, as if she was tired from life.
"Aunt Liu, my elder brother and his friends are here for dinner." Seeing the middle-aged woman, Xiao Tingting immediately wiped away her tears, suppressed her sadness, and tried to make her voice sound calmer. She didn't want Aunt Liu to see her crying, because she knew that Aunt Liu was also very hard, and she didn't want to cause her any more trouble.
"Tell me, who took your grandpa away? I will help you bring your grandpa back, and I will punish those bad guys severely." Jiang Han touched the little girl's head tenderly, his eyes full of concern and determination. His palms were warm and powerful, as if they could bring endless sense of security to little Tingting.
"Little brother, don't mess around." Hearing Jiang Han's words, the middle-aged woman pulled a chair over and sat down, with a worried look on her face. There was a hint of helplessness and fear in her voice, as if warning Jiang Han not to easily provoke those bad guys. "The Li family has immortals, and we mortals can't afford to provoke them. Uncle Jiang and his men have been taken away, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to come back." Her words revealed her fear for the Li family and her helplessness about Uncle Jiang's fate.
"Li family? Is it also an ancient family?" Ye Fan asked curiously, his eyes sparkling as if he was searching for a mysterious treasure.
"What is an ancient family?" The middle-aged woman looked confused. Her eyes were full of doubts. It was obvious that she knew nothing about this unfamiliar word.
"Auntie, can you tell us in detail what the Li family's background is? And why did they take Tingting's grandfather away?" Seeing little Tingting sobbing, Ji Ziyue felt even more compassionate and hugged her into her arms. Her movements were gentle and kind, as if a loving mother was comforting a wounded child.
Under the constant questioning of Ye Fan and Ji Ziyue, the middle-aged woman sighed and said something. Her voice was low and slow, as if she was telling a heavy story. The so-called Li family is the most powerful family in Qingfeng City. More than half of the younger generation of the family are disciples of Yanxia Dongtian. Among them, the head of the family, Li Hai, is the third elder of Yanxia Dongtian and occupies a hilltop in Dongtian. The power of the Li family is like a shadow, covering the entire Qingfeng City, making people dare to be angry but not speak out.
Coincidentally, Tingting's father and mother entered the Yanxia Cave Heaven to practice at almost the same time as Li Hai's son. But in terms of their cultivation talent, Tingting's father and mother are far superior to Li Hai's son. Their talents are like stars in the night sky, shining brightly, but also attracting the jealousy of others.
Li Hai's son had bad intentions and behaved improperly. He did something evil in the cave, and Xiao Tingting's father was too upright and couldn't help but take action, resulting in a feud. Since then, the conflict between the two families has gradually taken root and sprouted like a seed.
Because Tingting's father was extremely talented, he was highly regarded in Yanxia Cave Heaven and was not afraid of the Li family. However, things never go as planned. When Tingting's parents went out to collect spiritual medicine, they were unfortunately killed by a ferocious beast. The sudden change was like a bolt from the blue, instantly shattering this originally happy family.
Since then, the Li family had no scruples and directly robbed Tingting's restaurant. In order to make a living, the two of them had to return to this remote alley to run this extremely shabby little restaurant. Their lives became difficult and hard, like a traveler groping in the dark, unable to find the direction.
But even though the grandfather and grandson were forced to such a point, the Li family would still come and bully them from time to time. Just three days ago, Li Hai sent someone to say that his hilltop was short of a sweeper, and he forcibly took Grandpa Jiang away. The Li family behaved like robbers, wantonly trampling on the dignity and lives of others.
"Although we all dislike the Li family, who made them immortals? Why do good people always get bullied and die young, while bad people live to be a hundred years old?" The middle-aged woman's words were full of helplessness and grief, and her eyes revealed her dissatisfaction with fate and her desire for justice.
"That's because the people who punish the bad guys are late." After telling the story of Tingting's family, the middle-aged woman sighed, followed by Jiang Han's calm voice. His voice was like a huge bell, firm and powerful, as if announcing the arrival of justice.
"Xiao Tingting, can you go with big brother to pick up grandpa and take him home?" Jiang Han pinched Xiao Tingting's pink face and smiled gently. His smile was like sunshine, warming Xiao Tingting's heart.
"Aunt Liu said that grandpa was taken to Yanxia Cave Heaven, which is more than a hundred miles away..." Little Tingting kneaded the patched corners of her clothes, but before she finished her childish words, a thunder suddenly sounded beside her ears. The thunder was like a war drum, beating the horn of justice.
The next moment, a flash of lightning flashed in the dilapidated restaurant, and Jiang Han, Ye Fan, Ji Ziyue, and Xiao Tingting disappeared, leaving only the middle-aged woman with a look of astonishment. Her eyes were wide open, and her mouth was slightly open, as if she couldn't believe what was happening before her eyes.
More than a hundred miles away.
"Big brother, this... here..." In the void, little Tingting hugged Jiang Han's thighs in fear, her little face full of tension. Her body trembled slightly, and her eyes were full of fear and anxiety.
Below, there is a continuous mountain range, and the mountain range is full of spiritual energy, which is a good place for cultivation. There are several peaks in the mountain range, and each peak has more or less towering pavilions and towers. Those pavilions and towers are shining with golden light under the sunlight, as if they are mysterious palaces, hiding countless secrets.
"Your grandpa is right here." Jiang Han picked up little Tingting and quickly locked onto a hilltop with his observation Haki. He took a step and appeared on top of the hilltop. His movements were as fast as lightning, swift and decisive, like a brave warrior rushing to the battlefield.
Amid the roar of thunder, several long rainbows flew out from the top of the mountain soon, led by a middle-aged man in black. His figure was looming in the long rainbow, and he exuded a powerful aura, as if he was the master of this mountain.
"Are you Li Hai?" Jiang Han looked at the man in black, his eyes revealing a hint of majesty and indifference. His gaze was like a sharp blade, piercing straight into Li Hai's heart.
"That's right, I wonder why you are looking for me?" Li Hai frowned, his eyes revealing a hint of vigilance and doubt. He didn't know whether the person who suddenly appeared in front of him was an enemy or a friend.
"I came here for one person." Jiang Han said indifferently, and stretched his right hand toward the mountain below. A flash of lightning emerged from his palm. The lightning was like a nimble silver snake, jumping in his palm, flashing a dazzling light.
"Grandpa, Grandpa!" When the lightning returned, little Tingting, who was curled up in Jiang Han's arms, suddenly shouted excitedly, with joy in her voice. But when she saw the figure in the lightning clearly, tears fell again.
This is a gray-haired old man. The years have left traces on his face, which is full of wrinkles and looks weathered. Like Xiao Tingting, his clothes are also patched. The worn-out clothes seem to tell the hardships and difficulties of his life.
What was infuriating was that the white-haired old man's face was covered in blood, and his wrinkled cheeks were clearly marked with bruises and fingerprints, and even his loose gray hair was stained with blood. Seeing the old man's miserable state, the anger in everyone's hearts was like a volcanic eruption, burning instantly.
At first, the white-haired old man looked bewildered, but when he saw Xiao Tingting, his sunken eyes were filled with joy. His eyes were full of warmth and kindness, as if he saw the hope of life. (End of this chapter)
