After the old woman left, there was no expression on her face, but she was very happy in her heart.
Because she stole two mustard seed bags and begged for two or three days, she finally got something.
She did not rush to open the mustard bag, but hunched over and slowly came to a dilapidated house. The wood building the house had shown signs of decay, the beams had begun to become moldy, and there were several small holes on the roof.
The sunlight shines in through the small hole, dispelling the haze and humidity in the room.
This dilapidated house is the old woman's home.
"Mother-in-law is back!"
A five-year-old child, dressed in rags and with a gray face, rushed out of the room and walked happily towards the old woman.
The old woman smiled happily, patted the child's head lovingly, and said: "Second child, bring out the third and fourth children. My mother-in-law has something good for you today."
"Yeah." The child named the second child happily ran into the room and brought out a seven-year-old boy who was blind, and then carried out a four-year-old girl with both legs broken.
"Mother-in-law, you must have gained a lot today." The blind boy was the oldest. Although he could not see, his sense of smell was the most sensitive. He smelled the unique smell emitted by the mustard bag.
"The third child has a really good nose. My mother-in-law got two mustard seed bags from begging this time. There must be a lot of treasures in them." The old woman smiled kindly.
"Mother-in-law, please open it and take a look." The girl with a broken leg lay on the second child's back, her bony eyes full of curiosity.
"Okay." The old woman opened Shaqiang's mustard bag first. In Shaqiang's mustard bag, there was only a change of clothes and a purple gold gourd.
"Mother-in-law, this gourd is so beautiful, can you let me play with it?" The second child liked this gourd very much.
"Take it if you like it." The old woman gave the purple gourd to the second child, who happily took it and was very happy.
Not finding anything valuable in Shaqiang's mustard bag, the old woman continued her search and began to look for treasures in Qianyu's mustard bag.
The old woman first grabbed a lot of gold coins, and kept grabbing them, at least thousands of them.
"Mother-in-law, we are rich!" The second, third and fourth children were very happy. They had never seen so many gold coins.
The old woman was also very happy, but she also felt a little guilty. After all, she had stolen it. The young man must have been very sad after losing such a large sum of money, right?
After hesitating for a moment, the old woman looked at the smiles on the faces of the children, and her heart hardened again. She did this to survive, and hoped that the young man could forgive her.
Then, the old woman discovered various kinds of medicinal herbs. Although she did not know the specific origin of these medicinal herbs, she had a hunch in her heart that these medicinal herbs were definitely not ordinary things. If they were sold, they would definitely fetch a good price.
"We are really going to make a fortune this time!" The old woman's hands were shaking with excitement, "Children, our hard days are finally coming to an end!"
The old woman continued to search for treasures in the mustard bag. She found several ancient books and a few simple and yellowed scrolls. The names of these scrolls and ancient books were elusive. What is it called Taiyi Secret Record? Five-year college entrance examination and three-year simulation.
The contents of the soul refining technique and the Six Immortal Sealing Seals were all things she couldn't understand.
Casually throwing these scrolls and ancient books aside, the old woman found five bottles of purple viscous liquid and five small medicine bottles. These liquids were like water but not water. They could flow and emit purple light. Under the sunlight,
Especially dazzling.
"Mother-in-law, what is this? Can you drink it?" The fourth child licked his lips, "I'm a little thirsty."
"I don't know, let me try it first." The old woman opened a medicine bottle in surprise. After the bottle cap was lifted, a refreshing fragrance filled the air. The three children were immersed in this fragrance and couldn't help but exclaimed.
:"smell good!"
"Yeah, let me take a sip first to see how it tastes." The old woman took a sip. The purple liquid was warm in the mouth and had no taste. She didn't feel anything after drinking it.
"It's strange. This thing looks very special, but it tastes like water." The old woman felt strange.
"Mother-in-law, give me a taste!"
"Mother-in-law, I want it too!"
"I also want to drink!"
The three children all wanted to try something new, so the second child took a sip first. Although the third child couldn't see it, he could smell the rich fragrance and also took a sip. The fourth child drank the most because of his thirst, and drank the rest of the bottle.
After drinking all the liquid, he still said with unfinished content: "The taste is very light, but it is really fragrant."
"It doesn't matter, there are still four bottles here. I'll give you one bottle each. You can drink whatever you want." The old woman didn't know what the bottles contained. If she knew, she would give her a thousand courages.
Never dare to get even a tiny bit of it.
"Mother-in-law, I... I'm so hot... ah!" The youngest, the fourth child, suddenly felt hot all over his body. With a shrill scream, the fourth child's whole body was wrapped in purple flames and instantly turned into ashes.
The old woman and the second and third children were shocked.
"Fourth!" The old woman seemed to have lost her soul, and she was completely stunned.
"Mother-in-law, I'm so hot too...ah!" The third child's body was also wrapped in a purple flame and turned into ashes in an instant.
Before the old woman could be surprised, she felt an unusually terrifying heat building up in her abdomen. Although the second child did not speak, the sweat beads on his face and hot cheeks showed that he was experiencing the same experience.
"Second child, how do you feel?" The old woman realized that something was wrong. The third and fourth children suddenly turned into fly ash, which was definitely related to the purple liquid in the bottle!
"Mother-in-law, I'm so hot, so hot... I feel like I'm being burned by a ball of fire... Ah!" The second child's whole body was burned hot, but it didn't directly turn into fly ash. The purple flame enveloped him, but
It kept burning his body, causing him to hold his head and scream in pain, rolling on the ground, but he did not die.
"Second brother, my mother-in-law is here to save you! Water, I'll find water right away!" The old woman was thinking about finding water to put out the fire, but she was also trapped by the purple fire, and her rickety body was burned by the flames. She suddenly felt
The world was spinning, the heartbreaking pain engulfed her, and she fell down weakly.
Qianyu and Shaqiang heard the screams coming from here, and happened to rush here. They found the old woman lying on the ground and the second child who had been screaming.
"They drank the Millennium Dragon's Milk?" Qianyu discovered the truth at a glance, with both surprise and anger in his eyes.
"Boss, this kid can't hold on any longer. Please save him! There's also the old lady, she seems to have fainted." Silly Qiang immediately walked to the second boy and then to the old lady to check their conditions.
"If you don't save me, it's all the old woman's fault!" Qianyu walked away indifferently, without even looking at the old woman and the child. Before anyone came here, he quickly put away the remaining four bottles of Millennium Dragon's Milk, and then continued
Pick up the scrolls and ancient books that were thrown aside, and then various medicinal herbs.
As for the thousands of gold coins, he didn't have much interest. He took some casually, then turned and left: "Si Qiang, put your mustard bag away, let's go."
"Boss, aren't you going to save them?"
"Who let her deceive us? She deserves it!" Qianyu became very angry when he saw the old woman. The person he hated most was the liar.
The old woman took advantage of Sha Qiang's kindness and took the opportunity to steal Sha Qiang's bag of mustard seeds. Then she took advantage of his soft-heartedness and stole his bag of mustard seeds. The old woman's behavior chilled him.
"Boss, if you don't save them, they will die!"
"Just die, it has nothing to do with me." Qianyu was extremely indifferent.
"Boss!" Shaqiang begged, "Are you really going to die without saving me?"
"Si Qiang, are you stupid? You know that this old woman has deceived you, why do you still want to save her? We were kind to her, but she didn't repay the kindness, and even took the opportunity to steal our mustard seed bag. I
This is the kind of person I hate the most. No matter what you say, I will not save her." Qianyu flatly refused, and then walked away indifferently.
"Boss!"
Silly Qiang knelt down to Qianyu.
Qianyu immediately turned his head and frowned: "Si Qiang, what are you doing?"
"Boss, I beg you to save them. They are poor people too. I believe that the old woman must have her own reasons for doing this."
"Si Qiang, you get up and talk first." Qianyu helped Sha Qiang stand up.
"If the boss doesn't promise me, I won't get up."
Qianyu sighed, nodded helplessly, and said: "I'll give it a try, but I'll be the first to say something ugly. They, the mother-in-law and the grandson, were so bold that they secretly drank the thousand-year-old dragon's milk. It's a miracle that they can survive to this day.
Even if I help, I may not be able to save their lives."
At first, Qianyu only absorbed five drops of the thousand-year-old dragon's milk, but it took him more than nine months, and it was only with the help of the evil dragon that he completely absorbed the power contained in the dragon's milk. The mother-in-law and grandson in front of her didn't know what was going on.
Even though I was in love, I drank a bottle in total, and it was already a miracle that I survived.
"As long as the boss is willing to take action, they can still be saved." Shaqiang believes in Qianyu. (To be continued)
