Chapter 61 Third Cousin

Fu Yu helped Fu Qingyu put the elixir into the bottle, and then asked the question just now, "Mom, do you know...uncle?"

"Not yet." Fu Qingyu wanted to wait until she met Yu Zhu in private before getting to know him.

There is no need to hide her identity from her family, but there is no need to expose it to others so early.

If her guess is correct, Yu Zhu will come to find her in two days at the latest when the child can get off the ground and move freely.

Fu Qingyu was right as he expected.

Fu Yuzhu came to see her even earlier than she had guessed.On the evening of the second day, he followed Luo Chongli to Yuelai Inn.

The person who opened the door for them was Fu Yu. Looking at the man in blue clothes who was half a head taller than himself, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This uncle should be older than him, right?

Fu Qingyu was in the alchemy room on the second floor, taking the final step of condensing the elixir.

Fu Yu entertained two guests downstairs. After serving spiritual tea and chatting for a few words to exchange names, he looked at Fu Yuzhu, who was sitting diagonally across from him, swallowed back the word "Fu" that came to his lips, and shouted instead Said: "Best wishes, fellow Taoist."

Then he asked, "I was born in June of the 79th month of Changzhen. Fellow Taoist, my age seems to be similar to mine. I wonder which year and month I was born?"

The two guests obviously didn't expect that Fu Yu would ask such a question.

At the same time, I froze for a moment.

Luo Chongli thought that his friend would not answer this somewhat abrupt question, but he did not expect that his friend's slightly cold voice sounded next to him, "September, the 79th year of Chang Zou."

Fu Yu: "..." It's over, his uncle is actually younger than him!
Luo Chongli glanced at his friend in surprise, and then at Fu Yu, whose expression turned dull for a moment. Monk Zhang Er was confused.

He rubbed the back of his head, followed the conversation between the two, and said cheerfully: "I was born in the year 78 of Changzhen, and I am older than you. If we are friends in the future, should you call me brother?"

Fu Yu thought to himself, that would mess up the seniority.

Fu Yuzhu's eyes fell on Fu Yu's face, and his doubts deepened.

The surname Fu is not an uncommon surname in Dongzhou.

There are many people with the surname Fu in the world, but after the "Fellow Daoist Yu" who was good at alchemy showed up last night, he saw a monk with the surname "Fu" at his residence, and he couldn't bear to think too much.

This "pay" is the same as the "pay" he thinks about?
Somehow, he felt that it was exactly what he was thinking!
"I wonder what Fellow Daoist Yu is busy with?" Fu Yuzhu said, "Thanks to Fellow Daoist Yu for saving me last night, I came here today specifically to say thank you to Fellow Daoist Yu."

"He is refining the elixir upstairs. The elixir will be ready soon. You two sit down for a while and try the new spiritual tea we bought a few days ago." Fu Yu poured another cup of tea for the two of them.

For a moment, the faint fragrance of tea was covered up by the fragrance of red pepper floating down the stairs from the second floor.

Fu Yuzhu and Luo Chongli looked towards the stairs at the same time and took a sharp breath.

Luo Chongli: "It smells like a very strong ginseng smell." He couldn't tell which kind of elixir it was just by smelling it.

"It's a heart-nourishing pill." Fu Yuzhu said.

Luo Chongli patted Fu Yuzhu's shoulder in surprise, "Okay, brother, you have a dog nose!"

Fu Yuzhu was speechless and choked, "It was this kind of elixir that Fellow Daoist Yu stuffed into my mouth last night."

"Oh, I see……"

After the words fell, Fu Qingyu's figure appeared at the corner of the stairs.

He was still holding two crystal-clear elixir bottles in his hands. The mouths of the bottles had not yet been sealed, and there seemed to be hot steam inside. The smell was exactly the same elixir fragrance that had drifted down from upstairs just now.

Luo Chongli stared at the elixir, but Fu Yuzhu's eyes fell on Fu Qingyu's face.

The name of the young man in front of him is "Yu Qing", and I don't know if it is his real name, but regardless of whether it is, according to his age, even if he was born when the Fu family was in trouble, he was still an infant at most.

Compared with this "Yu Qing", the master with outstanding alchemy skills behind "Yu Qing" is actually more questionable.But Fu Yuzhu always remembered the way "Yu Qing" looked at him when he opened his eyes yesterday.

That look of shock and surprise would never come from a completely unrelated person.

"Fellow Daoist Yu." Fu Yuzhu stood up and cupped his hands.

"I didn't have time to formally express my gratitude to fellow Taoist yesterday. Thank you very much for your life-saving grace."

He didn't come empty-handed, he also brought two thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum.

"You're welcome to wish fellow Taoist." Fu Qingyu emphasized the word "wishes" a little harder.

Fu Yuzhu understood as soon as he heard it that the other party knew there was something wrong with his name.

"Chongli, I want to have a few words with fellow Taoist Yu alone." Fu Yuzhu took the initiative.

Luo Chongli didn't ask any more questions. Before coming, Fu Yuzhu had told him that he wanted to ask about his condition alone.

Fu Yu also stood up and said, "Fellow Daoist Luo, I happen to want to buy some food for the spirit beasts. You are familiar with the city. Can you show me around?"

"Of course." Luo Chongli agreed.

The two of them went out together, and only Fu Qingyu and Fu Yuzhu were left in the house.

Fu Qingyu didn't speak in a hurry. She quietly stared at the boy in blue in front of her. It was difficult to associate him with the little crybaby when she was a child.

That child who was extraordinarily squeamish and prone to crying grew up to have such a cold, self-possessed, young and mature look. How distressed would it be if Uncle Seven and Aunt Seven saw it?
Fu Qingyu did not restrain the emotion in her eyes.

Instead of shouting "Blessings to fellow Taoist", she directly called out his name, "Yuzhu."

Fu Yuzhu asked himself that he had always been able to keep his composure, but in the eyes of this emotion, nostalgia, and love, which had changed several times, he was defeated.

"Who exactly are you?"

"Like you, I use a pseudonym when I am outside. The surname of the pseudonym is taken from my real name. Reversing my pseudonym is my real name."

Fu Yuzhu thought about these words silently in his heart, Yu Qing, if you turn it upside down, it would be... Qing Yu?
He really couldn't match this name with the few names he could remember in his memory.

Fu Qingyu slapped her forehead, remembering that this child probably didn't know her real name at all, "My surname is Fu, and Fu Chengxuan is my seventh uncle."

Fu Chengxuan...

That's his father's name.

Apart from Uncle Luo occasionally talking drunkenly while holding a bottle of wine, he had not heard this name from anyone else for a long time.

The person in front of me is indeed a member of the Fu clan!

It seems that his elder was also a "fish that slipped through the net" in that disaster. I wonder which elder it was?
Being able to pass on that alchemy skill must be a very outstanding figure in the clan.

Fu Yuzhu's somewhat dim eyes couldn't help but regain their luster.

He is not the only useless useless person left in the Fu clan!

He is not alone in this world...

Fu Yuzhu crossed his hands again and bowed deeply to Fu Qingyu, "Fu Yuzhu, I have met my cousin."

Fu Qingyu stepped forward, stood on tiptoes, and touched the top of his hair just like she did when she was a child. Then, while he was dazed, she stepped back half a step, waved her hand to remove the disguise from her face, and asked with a smile:
"Yuzhu, you don't even recognize your third cousin?"
