The Love of Passerby A

Chapter 196 The Mortal in the Immortal’s Tribulation (2)

Su Xiangran looked at Luo Qing, then at the sky outside, her expression calm: "Going out for a consultation on a rainy day is not the usual price."

Luoyang lowered his head and looked at the ground. After a long while, he said in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "Doctor Su, I don't have any money. Please be kind and help me! After all, human life is at stake."

Su Xiangran took out a piece of dessert from the cabinet beside her and put it into her mouth. She chewed it slowly without saying a word, just looking at her quietly.

Luo Qing gritted his teeth and said, "I'll do it for you for half a month, please."

Su Xiangran swallowed the last bite of snack, patted the snack crumbs on her hands, took a box from the shelf beside her and put it on her back: "Let's go! Is the person at your house?"

Luo Qing was delighted when he heard her words. He nodded quickly and walked in front to lead the way for Su Xiangran.

In contrast to her anxiety, Su Xiangran was calm and followed Luo Qing with an umbrella.

It was March and it had been raining for many days, so the path was inevitably muddy. And because he was in a hurry, Luo Qing neither wore a straw raincoat nor held an umbrella.

But Su Xiangran is not someone who is willing to compromise herself. She followed slowly on the slippery road in the rain. Not only did she hold an umbrella, she also wore rain boots made of special materials before going out.

It was just a short mountain road, but Luo Qing fell a few times because she walked too fast. If she was just a little embarrassed when she was at Su's house just now, now she has become a mud figurine.

But she didn't think there was anything wrong with her behavior. She kept looking back at Su Xiangran while walking forward, silently urging her.

"If you're afraid of getting into trouble, go back first." Su Xiangran couldn't help but speak when she looked back at him for the fifth time. "I know your family. The road is so slippery. I don't want to fail to save the person and break my bones."

After hearing what Su Xiangran said, Luo Qing was in a dilemma. She wanted to go home as soon as possible, but she was afraid that Su Xiangran would go back on her word.

Su Xiangran rolled her eyes and said helplessly: "Don't worry, since I promised you, I will definitely go to your house. Besides, my home is right here, how can I run away?"

Luo Qing nodded, left Su Xiangran behind, and ran home. Before he had taken a few steps, he fell into another trap.

Su Xiangran looked at her back with disdain. This must be because the Junchao Immortal Venerable had cast a spell on her when she was in the upper realm! He cared about her so much after just meeting her once.

Luo Qing certainly didn't know what the people behind her were thinking. She was extremely anxious because the person she rescued was lying there bleeding profusely!

How much blood can a person bleed? If you go too late, you won't be able to save him.

But she couldn't urge Su Xiangran, otherwise, given her temper, she might just give up and the young man would have no way out.

When Luo Qing got home, her two younger brothers and sisters were waiting for her at the door.

"Sister, isn't Doctor Su here?" Luo Qing's sister Luo Qi looked behind her sister and said, "Sister, why are you alone?"

Luo Qing's brother Luo Ming curled his lips and said, "If I were Doctor Su, I wouldn't come either. Our family can't even afford food, let alone money. Now we have to ask her to save a stranger. It's a wonder she will come."

"Xiao Ming, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Since I have carried the person down from the mountain, you can't just stand by and watch him die." Luo Qing said as he habitually wanted to touch his brother's head.

Luo Ming quickly took a step back and said with disgust: "Sister, please don't touch me. You are covered in mud. If you make me dirty again, I won't have hot water to take a shower.

It has been raining for several days, and there is not much dry firewood left. If you take a cold shower, you may catch a cold, which could be fatal."

Luo Ming always remembered that their father died of a cold and years of hard work. To the ten-year-old boy, a cold was the most serious disease.

Sister Luo Qi didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but after hearing what her brother said, she stepped back a few steps without leaving a trace.

Luo Qing looked at himself covered in mud and felt embarrassed.

The three of them didn't remain awkward for long before a voice came from outside the door. It was Su Xiangran.

"Where are the people?" Su Xiangran said as she entered the house. Seeing the Luo family siblings standing in the house looking at each other, she broke the silence, "I'm not saying anything bad about you, but your family can't even afford to eat, why are you saving anyone?"

The Luo family was not well off. Luo Qing's mother died of heavy bleeding after giving birth to Luo Qi. It was Luo Qing's father, Uncle Luo, who raised the three children.

However, years of hard work have worn down his health. Two years ago, he caught a cold and became seriously ill. If there were good medicines like ginseng at that time, he might have been able to live longer. But with the Luo family's situation, there was no way they could afford good medicines.

The key point is that even if he survived, he would not be able to do heavy work in the future. Uncle Luo made up his mind and stopped taking the medicine without telling his children, and starved himself to death, not wanting to drag them down anymore.

The original owner later waived the Luo family's overdue medical fees and took the vegetables from their vegetable garden as medical fees.
