"Aunt, why is it you again?" Jia Zhengjin was awakened by a knock on the door early in the morning. After opening the door, Jia Zhengjin was speechless.
Qian Xiulan was right outside the door, holding a rice bowl in her hand.
Niu Shun didn't prepare any food at home. Could it be that she could still smell the fragrance of copper coins?
Qian Xiulan leaned directly against the doorpost, looked at Jia Zhengjin and said, "Shunzi, Niu Bao went to the ground today, did you know?"
"Niu Bao? Uncle Bao?" Jia Zhenggang didn't react at first, but then he remembered that she was talking about Niu Xi's father.
It is said that Niu Xi took back the Jinshu Medicine and Qubing Pills and gave them to Niu Bao. The miraculous effects of the systemic medicines allowed Niu Bao to get rid of the pain and get back to work. It was not a strange thing.
"That's right!" Qian Xiulan took a few mouthfuls of rice and said vaguely, "Niu Bao said it was the medicine that Xizi brought back. It seems that Xizi had some adventure and dreamed of gods. Yesterday I went up the mountain with you to cut firewood and said it was
The test of the gods. You went up the mountain together. Since he got the elixir from the gods, have you also seen the gods and got anything good?"
It seems that Niu Xi followed the script they had discussed before. Jia Zhengjin felt relieved, looked at Qian Xiulan and said: "Aunt, I don't know about gods. But yesterday Xizi and I went to cut firewood, and we did meet him when we came back.
A Taoist priest who I have never seen before and who knows where he came from. The Taoist priest called Xizi over and said a lot. I was far away and didn’t hear much of the content, let alone the fairy medicine. You mean, the Taoist priest yesterday
Is he a god? He gave Xizi the elixir to cure Uncle Bao?"
"you do not know?"
"I don't know!" Jia Zhengjin pretended to be real.
"Is that so? It seems that you are not destined for immortality." Qian Xiulan suddenly looked disappointed when she heard this, "I thought your kid would also have some luck!"
"That's not sure. Maybe I can really turn things around?"
"Come on! Such a god came here, only looking for Xizi but not you, and even gave me the magic medicine without you knowing, where did the immortal fate come from?" Qian Xiulan sighed, "It's true, this world is weird.
A fool like Xizi can meet the fate of immortals. An honest child like you has never done any bad things in your life. How come you can let the gods slip away just by being around you? It shouldn't be you who is favored by the gods.
Is that right?"
"Auntie, what exactly do you want to say?"
"I don't think it's worth it for you, but the god is also blind." Qian Xiulan sighed.
Jia Zhengjin saw it, and Qian Xiulan felt that this happened to Niu Xi, but Niu Shun, who was traveling with him, didn't even know the identity of the immortal, let alone that Niu Xi had received the elixir, and found it difficult to accept it.
Probably in her eyes, Niu Xi is a disgusting little boy. If he were not Niu Bao's son, he would be unpopular with the villagers. And Niu Shun is known to the whole village as the most honest and honest child.
Shouldn't this kind of adventure lead an honest child to be favored by a god? That's what storytellers say.
Jia Zhengjin understood and couldn't help but feel helpless.
He knew that Qian Xiulan was not evil-minded, but just nosy and talkative.
Furthermore, she didn't want others to know about this matter, so she deliberately concealed it. She was complaining about the injustice, but there was no fluctuation in her heart.
"Auntie, everyone has their own destiny! No one knows whether I will have adventures in the future." Jia Zhengjin said, "I have to prepare and go up to the mountain to chop firewood early. You should finish your meal quickly. Why don't you still
Do you want to go to the fields to grow vegetables?”
"I said, Xizi will go up the mountain with you today?" Qian Xiulan did not leave, but asked softly.
"We agreed... we want to chop wood together." Jia Zhengjin nodded hesitantly.
"Will we meet gods again?"
"How is this accurate?" Jia Zhengjin shook his head, "Besides, aunt, how easy is it to see a deity?"
"That's true." Qian Xiulan thought for a moment, "But it's better for Xizi to chop wood with you than to hang out with his bad friends and cause trouble."
"What are you talking about? Aunt Liu!" At this moment, Niu Xi's voice came, interrupting Qian Xiulan's words.
"It's a good thing that you're chopping firewood with Shunzi now, and you've learned a lesson!" Qian Xiulan said behind her back, but her expression didn't change at all when she was caught. Instead, she turned to look at Niu Xi, "It's better than going out with those messy people.
It's better to make a fuss. I thought you had no conscience, and you can only get the elixir from the gods through Brother Niu Bao, who is still a human being."
"Aunt Liu, what do you mean, I was not a human before?" Niu Xi showed an unhappy look.
"Are you like a human being when you think about your past actions?" Qian Xiulan didn't flinch and looked directly at him.
"Yes, yes! I won't argue with you." Niu Xi is quite arrogant and domineering outside, but he will not be embarrassed by the people in his village. "Shunzi, it's time to go up the mountain!"
"Well, I'm ready!" Jia Zhengjin nodded and came out.
"My brother Niu Bao went to the ground just when he was healthy. You, my son, don't care about it?"
"Aunt Liu, you don't need to worry about our family's affairs." Niu Xi said coldly, "Whatever happens to this old man has nothing to do with me."
"Tch! You're so tough, you're not asking for the elixir for him." Qian Xiulan turned around with her rice bowl in hand, "You can just follow Shunzi to chop firewood. Although you won't make much, at least you'll save money on firewood. Work hard and don't do it again.
Hang out with those messy people."
Niu Xi frowned and watched Qian Xiulan walk by, twisting her plump body and disappearing in front of her eyes, and snorted: "Mind your own business!"
"Auntie has such a personality, haven't you gotten used to it yet?" Jia Zhengjin said with a smile.
"Don't talk about her!" Niu Xi looked around to make sure no one was around and then lowered his voice, "Let's go up the mountain!"
"Uncle Bao took the medicine, is he really completely cured?" Jia Zhengjin asked in a low voice.
"The old man took medicine last night, and today he is alive and kicking, his face is glowing, and he doesn't look sick at all." Niu Xi said, "I almost suspected that he was just pretending to be like that before."
"That's not the case, Uncle Bao won't be like this. It seems that the fairy medicine is really effective."
"Well! It's worth a thousand catties of gold after all. I don't know if there are any such elixirs in the maze. If we can find some more, we can take them to the county or county town and sell them. It will definitely cause a sensation!"
"Let's not talk about whether there is any magic medicine in it. Even if there is, don't rush!" Jia Zhengjin hurriedly advised, "We have to be careful and be more cautious. Do you know that wealth is not revealed? We should proceed according to the plan discussed before. Ten million
Don't be impulsive."
"That's all I said, I still have something in mind." Niu Xi nodded, "By the way, do you have any good ideas about the treasure? How are we going to transport it down the mountain?"
"That's it..." Jia Zhengjin looked around and lowered his voice and said, "I thought about it carefully last night. Didn't Mr. Murakami Li have a donkey? I wanted to see if I could rent it temporarily, so I said it was too hard to chop wood.
"My feet, I need that donkey to help pull firewood for the time being. I'll give you some copper coins or use firewood in exchange for that."
"What a great idea!" Niu Xi's eyes lit up, "If you borrow it for a few days, you won't have any doubts." (To be continued)
