Chapter 4 Grandpa sells his life for treasure, second uncle and second aunt bully orphaned nephew
In the small earthen house, the brazier burned vigorously, illuminating the room with warmth.
A man and a woman were sitting around the stove, cracking melon seeds, and a little boy was holding a piece of sweet potato and gnawing on it. The bed beside him was turned messy, and the quilt was thrown to the ground.
"I can't believe that the old man was able to contact the immortal and get a treasure in exchange for it. Fortunately, I still want to kill him." The woman muttered.
"I didn't expect it either, but that treasure was given to Xiao Hao by my father." The middle-aged man said hesitantly.
"The old man is dead. We can give it to whomever we say. Whoever eats the treasure can become an immortal. What qualifications does that little beast Qi Hao have? It belongs to my son. Don't be confused."
"I want to eat treasures and become a fairy." The little boy shouted loudly.
"The treasure belongs to the baby and no one can take it away." The woman held the little boy in her arms and said sharply: "Qi Hao hasn't come back yet. Could it be that he left with the treasure a long time ago?"
"No, father just got the treasure today. He cannot give it to Xiao Hao in advance. It must still be at home." The man's firm words seemed to have made some kind of decision.
"Where can we hide? Hey, there is movement outside, Qi Hao is back." The woman looked out the window.
In the courtyard, Qi Hao cleaned up the snowflakes on his body and showed a happy smile.
"I stewed chicken soup for Grandpa to drink. Grandpa's cold will soon get better. In the future, when I become an immortal, Grandpa will no longer have to starve and freeze, and he will no longer have to go to the mountains to chop firewood. I will tell Grandpa this news.
, he will definitely be happy."
With full expectations, Qi Hao pushed open the wooden door and ran in.
But in the room, there was no grandfather, only the second uncle and second aunt, and the mess on the ground.
"Second uncle and second aunt, why are you here? Where is grandpa?" Qi Hao looked at the two of them warily and instinctively took a few steps back.
In his memory, his second uncle and his aunt never visited his house. Last year, a corner of the house collapsed, and it took him and his grandfather several days of work to repair it.
"Qi Hao, your grandfather is dead." The woman said nonchalantly.
His eyes kept looking at the two pheasants.
"Grandpa is dead? No, grandpa's cold has improved a lot and he took medicine. How could he die?" Qi Haoru murmured as if he was struck by lightning.
Tears flowed uncontrollably.
"So the old man didn't tell you? Did he give you anything?" the woman pressed.
"Xiao Hao, your grandpa is old, so you don't have to be sad. But did grandpa give you anything when he was alive? Take it out and give it to me and your second aunt." The man echoed.
Qi Hao didn't respond, but his tears flowed faster.
The words of the two people made him believe that his grandfather was really dead.
"Qi Hao, your second uncle is your grandfather's only son. After your grandfather died, everything he left behind belongs to your second uncle. The house, fields, and everything in this house belong to us."
the woman said sharply.
"Asshole, return the treasure to me, return the treasure to me."
The little boy came to Qi Hao and kept hitting Qi Hao's chest with his fists.
"Qi Hao, you won't rob things with your brother, will you? Let's do this. As long as you take out the treasures, we won't care about the food you have eaten over the years. That food should be ours." The woman said.
The man said viciously.
"Yes, you ate our food, you owe us." The little boy continued to beat Qi Hao.
Qi Hao did not dodge, as if he could not feel the pain at all.
He only knew that his grandfather was gone, he had lost his last relative and became an orphan.
No one will cover him with a quilt at night, and no one will care whether he has enough food...
"Xiao Hao, didn't you hear what your second aunt said? Take out the treasure quickly." The man scolded.
Qi Hao raised his head, looked at his second uncle, and asked: "Second uncle, grandpa is your father, don't you care at all?"
"Xiao Hao, you actually questioned your second uncle, who taught you the rules. What's more, grandpa died for my family. Don't let grandpa die in peace." The man scolded.
Is it my fault? Qi Hao's eyes dimmed.
Right, if I hadn't told my grandpa yesterday that I wanted to become an immortal, maybe my grandpa wouldn't have died...
As for the treasure, he had never seen it, but he was certain that it was placed in the broken box under the bed.
It was something that grandpa paid for with his life. He should cherish it, but he didn't want it.
He wanted to use the treasure to exchange his grandfather back.
Even if grandpa is dead, he still wants to bring his body back and let him bury him in peace.
Qi Hao raised his head, stared at the two people, and said solemnly: "I can give you my family's fields and real estate. I don't want anything. But you have to tell me where grandpa is, and I want to find him."
"Negotiate terms with us? Qi Hao, who do you think you are? To tell you the truth, I have sold you to Chenjiazhuang, and they will come to pick you up tomorrow. You'd better be honest, otherwise there will be no good results for you
Eat." The woman said fiercely.
"That's it." Qi Hao said without joy or sorrow.
He was not surprised at all that his second uncle and second aunt would sell him and make him a slave for others. He just didn't expect that he would be so impatient and unwilling to wait for a whole day.
"Hurry up and hand over your things. Don't force us to do anything to you." The woman said irritably.
If she hadn't been afraid of hurting Qi Hao and not being able to sell it at a good price, she would have taken action long ago so as not to waste her breath.
"The thing is not on me, and you can't find it if you try. I can give you the treasure, but you have to tell me where my grandpa has gone. Otherwise, even if you beat me to death today, you will never get the treasure." Qi Hao was determined.
said.
"How dare you!" The woman was furious, rolled up her sleeves and wanted to take action.
Qi Hao stood still and didn't say a word, just looked at the woman quietly.
"Forget it, since he wants to go, let him go. Getting the treasure quickly is the most important thing."
The man stopped the woman and said to Qi Hao: "I heard from the immortal that he lives on Black Tiger Mountain. If you want to find him, go and find him there."
Black Tiger Mountain? Qi Hao has heard of this name. It is not very far from the village and can be reached by climbing a few mountains.
According to legend, there lived a black tiger demon on Black Tiger Mountain who liked to eat people, so people in the village never went to that mountain.
Grandpa also told Qi Hao countless times not to enter Black Tiger Mountain.
"Did grandpa accidentally enter the Black Tiger Mountain and get to know the immortal? No, he exchanged his life for treasures. That should not be an immortal, but a monster. The rumors may be true."
Thinking of this, Qi Hao became more and more uneasy. If it was really a monster, wouldn't his grandfather's body be gone?
He just wanted to fly to Black Tiger Mountain immediately.
