Niu Xi finally chose the elixir and expressed that he was not prepared to sell it.
It shows that he cares about his father very much, and he does have filial piety. On the surface, he is incompatible with his father, but he doesn't really hate him.
This also meant that Jia Zhengjin had an advantage in his bet. He only needed to prevent Yue Lang from changing Niu Xi's current thoughts, and he would directly win in a month.
It's easy to bring the elixir back, but Jia Zhengjin's large box of copper coins is more troublesome.
I couldn't even put the copper coins in the firewood and take them away, they were too heavy.
After discussion, we decided to put it in the maze and take away a small part first. Tomorrow we will come up with an idea to see how to remove the whole box of copper coins and even more treasures in the maze.
All the roads you have walked are marked, so you don’t need to take a detour next time you come in, you can reach the secret room directly.
The two closed the stone door again, sold the switches and prompts with dust and leaves, and remodeled the outside opening so that it was completely blocked and difficult to see.
Afterwards, we returned to the safe area together, chopped several bundles of firewood, stuffed a small portion of copper coins into them, and carried them back to the village.
To avoid suspicion among the villagers, he hid the copper coins at home and took Niu Xi up the mountain several times to look at the firewood.
Niu Xi had never done such a job before and suffered a lot. His hands and feet were all scratched.
But he seemed very excited and didn't complain at all.
After all, we will soon be prosperous, and we will no longer have to live a hard life in the future.
When the sun was about to go down, the two of them made their last trip back to chop wood. The better, they would go up the mountain early tomorrow morning and continue exploring the maze.
Of course, everyone has to think about how to bring so much treasure down at night.
Let's go home each after going down the mountain, leaving aside Jia Zhengjin's side.
Niu Xi carried his tired body back home, piled firewood next to the house, returned to the house, picked up the teapot and began to drink it.
"Ahem~" Niu Bao felt complicated and dragged his sick body out of bed. Looking at his son who was so tired for the first time in his life and seemed to have suffered a lot of injuries, he didn't know what to think.
This son has been rebellious since he was a child, probably because of his mother's death.
Niu Bao was not very kind to his wife, and the two often quarreled and even got into fights.
Later, after a quarrel between the husband and wife, the wife actually hanged herself while Niu Bao was on the ground, and died.
From that time on, Niu Bao was full of self-blame. He couldn't afford to get sick, and his body became weaker and weaker. Niu Xi also hated his father because of this incident. He was still very young at that time, and he often had verbal conflicts.
Niu Bao himself was seriously ill, and he was in a bad mood after his wife passed away, so he beat him whenever he got angry.
The more he beat Niu Xi, the more disobedient he became, and even the more he hated himself. The father and son gradually began to look like enemies.
Niu Xi has been unwilling to help him go to the fields since he was a child. He hangs out every day and doesn't want to see him. Niu Bao can only drag his sick body to work, and his health is getting worse. Until now, he has become extremely weak and has no strength to even go to the fields.
Today I heard someone say that his son was going to go up the mountain with Niu Shun to cut firewood, but he didn't believe it.
Later, I found out that my son really followed Niu Shun up and down the mountain and brought back several bundles of firewood. I thought he was dreaming several times.
Is this really my son Niu Xi in front of me? Isn't he a monster?
"What are you looking at? Old man! Go back to your bed and lie down, don't bother me!" Niu Xi put down the teapot, turned around to see his father, and cursed coldly. He put down the teapot hard, turned and walked to his room.
This is his own son.
Niu Bao breathed a sigh of relief, but he still felt that his son was a little strange today.
What happened to him? Why did he suddenly follow Niu Shun up the mountain to chop wood?
Did he cause some big trouble outside, so he hid and didn't dare to leave the village? If that was the case, how big of a disaster would it be?
The more I thought about it, the more worried I became, and the more I thought about it, the more afraid I became, and I became uneasy and coughed more violently.
I was thinking about asking what was going on, but my relationship with my son had never been good, and they would start quarreling with each other even after just two or three words.
Feeling depressed, Niu Bao made some porridge with wild vegetables and ate it by himself when it was time to eat.
He and his son don't eat together anymore, they all do their own thing.
Halfway through eating, I saw the door being pushed back.
His son Niu Xi, who originally refused to step into his room, walked in during meal time for the first time today. This made Niu Bao even more unbelievable: "You..."
Niu Xi's eyes met his father's, and his face immediately turned cold again.
He wanted to turn around and leave, but he stopped again when he reached the threshold. He paused for a long time. Finally, he turned back and entered the room. He put down a paper bag on the table with a pill on it: "Eat it quickly!"
"What?" Niu Bao frowned, "Poison?"
"The poison won't kill you old thing!" Niu Xi snorted coldly, "You're as sick as you are, and you probably won't live long. There's no need for me to waste money."
"You..." Niu Bao was so angry that his heart ached, and he put down the bowl and chopsticks while covering his chest, "Get out of here!"
"Hmph! Who wants to stay here? I feel uncomfortable seeing you!" Niu Xi said coldly, "Take the medicine and I'll leave right away."
"Where did you get the medicine?" Niu Bao looked at the table in confusion.
The family doesn't have much spare money at all, and Niu Xi never asks for money. He only hangs out with his friends every day and plays with friends.
It is impossible for him to have money to buy medicine, whether it is medicine or poison.
Speaking of which, my son behaved very strangely today. He went up the mountain with Niu Shun to cut firewood, then came into his room for no apparent reason, and even asked him to take some medicine.
"Eat as you are told, don't give me any nonsense!" Niu Xi said in a bad tone.
"If you know what kind of medicine this is, why don't I take it?" Niu Bao stood up hesitantly, reached for the medicine bag, and found that there was a bamboo slip on it, "What is this word?"
His son Niu Xi went to private school when he was a child, but he himself was illiterate.
Niu Xi hesitated for a few seconds and originally wanted to turn around and leave.
But he still walked forward and said angrily: "What's in the paper bag is gold sore medicine, which can be taken externally for wounds. This is a disease-dispelling pill. It can cure as long as it's not a terminal illness! Don't give me ink marks. If you don't need it, I'll take it myself."
Sell it for money!”
Niu Bao was stunned, pushed away his son's extended hand, and took a closer look at the medicine in his hand. He felt like something was stabbing him in his heart: "Where did it come from?"
"You care so much? Don't give it back to me!" Niu Xi said, but did not reach out to grab it.
"No, you and Niu Shun went up the mountain to chop firewood during the day. Where did this medicine come from?" Niu Bao was really confused and felt quite complicated.
"Stop the ink! Either use it quickly or return it to me!" Niu Xi said coldly.
Niu Bao looked at his son's face carefully, coughed violently a few times, and looked down at the Qubing Pill in his hand: "I'm not afraid you'll poison me to death! If my son kills me, it will cause thunder to strike!"
After saying that, he directly threw the Qubing Pill into his mouth.
The elixir melted in your mouth, and a strange energy instantly spread throughout your body, making Niu Bao feel particularly comfortable.
"When thunder strikes, you will be struck first!" Niu was delighted to see his father take the elixir, turned around and left the room. (To be continued)
