Chapter 12: Perverse Goodness
"No, you have to take it. Shande's tone became serious.
Xu Zhiyu was also stunned by the sudden serious Shande, and he didn't know what to do for a while, until Shande blinked mischievously.
"Take it, what are you doing. Xu Zhiyu reluctantly stepped forward and took the wooden box.
Old man Liu Gongqi has been smiling and watching all this from beginning to end.
There was a hint of surprise in his eyes after seeing Xu Zhiyu take the wooden box.
However, the other juniors of the Liu family don't understand which one of Xu Zhiyu and Shande is complete.
After taking the wooden box from Old Man Liu's hand, Xu Zhiyu felt that this wooden box was quite heavy, and how cold this wooden box was.
Originally, there was a hint of stuffiness in the room that was not too breathable, but after getting the wooden box, the cool feeling was refreshing.
Some people are curious to open the box to see what is so strange inside, but now is not the time to open it.
Because there are five pairs of eyes, staring at themselves without blinking.
Xu Zhiyu, who felt uncomfortable, asked, "Why are you looking at me with such strange eyes?" ”
Shande looked at Xu Zhiyu's eyebrows, and Liu Gongqi looked at Xu Zhiyu's face, as if he wanted to see something from Xu Zhiyu's face.
The three sisters and brothers of the Liu family looked at the wooden box, and Xu Zhiyu also looked down at the wooden box, which was very ordinary, the common wood, but the color was a little strange.
It's still a little cold.,It's not enough shouldn't be a very important thing.,Otherwise, why just give it to me.。
"Master, this is my grandfather's treasure, I usually don't touch it, but I didn't expect it to be given to you. Liu Yan swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said.
Liu Gongqi said with some reproach: "Xiaoyan, don't talk nonsense. ”
Liu Yan retorted: "That's nonsense, usually your baby is tight in this wooden box, I remember when I was young, I wanted to play secretly, and I was beaten by you." ”
Xu Zhiyu, who heard this on the side, felt that the wooden box was not cold, and became hot: "Since this wooden box is so precious, I can't accept it." ”
As he spoke, he handed the wooden box back to Liu Gongqi with both hands, and looked at Shande at the same time.
After all, this is Seondeok's idea, and it would be good to make him want to go.
I didn't expect Sundeok to pretend not to see it.
When Liu Gongqi saw Xu Zhiyu like this, he raised his hand that he had been used to a lot and beckoned to Liu Yan's head: "Let you talk more, I'll let you talk more, isn't grandpa's life as important as a wooden box?"
After cleaning up Liu Yan, the old man Liu Gongqi said slowly: "When I got this wooden box from someone else, that person told me that this wooden box does not belong to me, it belongs to a destined person, and it will slowly lose its aura if it is placed here with me, so it will destroy it." ”
Liu Gongqi took a breath and continued: "Little master, you can accept it, I can feel that the person who has been waiting for it for so many years is you, right, master." After finishing speaking, he looked meaningfully at Shande.
Seondeok just nodded: "The old man is right. ”
After seeing Shande nodding, he said to Liu Yu and the others: "You guys go out first, I have something to say to the two masters." ”
Liu Yu didn't understand and wanted to stay and hear something, so he grabbed Liu Gongqi's hand and said, "Grandpa." ”
Liu Yan also wanted to try to be the same as Liu Yu, but he didn't expect to catch his grandfather's hand before he could catch it.
Liu Yan walked out helplessly.
Liu Cong followed out without saying a word.
The three sisters and brothers are the only ones left, Liu Yu.
patted Liu Yu's little hand and said softly: "Xiaoyu, you also go out first." ”
"Okay, then grandpa, you pay attention to your body, don't talk about it for too long. Liu Yu also walked out of the room with interest, and closed the door by the way.
Xu Zhiyu stood aside awkwardly with a wooden box, at a loss.
When the grandchildren and granddaughters all went out, Liu Gongqi's face became solemn: "The purpose of the master's coming is just this wooden box." ”
Shande pointed to the wooden box and said: "No, it's also, the poor monk only noticed the fate here at first, but the specifics are not clear, but now I understand, the fate is this wooden box." ”
Xu Zhiyu didn't understand what they were talking about, but he understood a little, this wooden box was not simple.
When Liu Gongqi heard what Shande said, he asked suspiciously, "Didn't the master come because of this?"
Shande pointed his finger at the wooden box and pointed at Xu Zhiyu: "No, this opportunity is not the poor monk's, it is his." ”
"Me?" Xu Zhiyu was really stunned by them now.
Liu Gongqi also couldn't figure it out, could it be that he guessed wrong, and continued to ask: "The master doesn't know about my illness and this wooden box? ”
Shande replied: "The poor monk doesn't know, and he asks the donor to solve his doubts." ”
Liu Gongqi had no choice but to start from the beginning.
It is said that when Liu Gongqi was young, his family was still poor, and there were many brothers and sisters in the family, including three brothers and three sisters, and two younger sisters.
He was the seventh in line, and one day he went up the mountain with his eldest brother and third sister to chop wood, because he was greedy, and he only cared about the wild fruits on the mountain along the way.
It was convenient for his brothers and sisters to be separated, and when it was almost dark, he met a Taoist priest, and the Taoist priest asked him what he was doing here alone.
Since I was a child, I have heard a lot of strange talk about the mountains and fields, and I am afraid that the Taoist priest will be a monster, so I will say that I am the boy of the land on this mountain.
I was still young at the time, how could I understand that if the Taoist priest was changed by a spirit, and he was full of human flavor, how could I hide it from him.
But after the Taoist priest heard this, he just laughed, stretched out a white and tender woman's hand and touched his head, I have never seen such a white and tender hand, more tender than the hand of the daughter-in-law from the city of the second dog family in the village.
Then the Taoist priest said, stinky boy, how did you learn to deceive people when you are so young.
I was afraid that he was lying to me, so I quibbled and said that I didn't lie, and I lied to you that you were a puppy.
The Taoist priest didn't speak, but just took out a wooden box from his robe and gently stroked it with his hand, like an old father sending his daughter to get married.
Then he said that this wooden box has been handed over to you for safekeeping, and you will meet someone in the future, and you will give it to him when the time comes.
This wooden box is good for you, it gives you great wealth, but at the same time you also need to keep it safe until that person appears.
I don't know why, I didn't want to take it, but I took the wooden box with both hands disobediently.
After taking the wooden box, I was no longer afraid in my heart, and became stable, for some reason I felt that the Taoist priest was a good person, and I didn't know how to suddenly become so trusting of him, so I nodded and agreed to him.
Then I asked the Taoist priest who knew who was destined to be the person, and he said that one day in the future, if you have a serious illness, you will be the one who can save you.
Then the Taoist priest just disappeared in front of me, yes, the kind that disappeared out of thin air, if it weren't for the wooden box still holding on, I would have thought I was dreaming.
When I grew up, I slowly made a fortune because of the help of this wooden box, but wait, wait, wait, wait, until I was in my seventies, I didn't have a serious illness, and I wondered if the Taoist priest had made a mistake.
Later, five years later, a strange person came to me, he asked me to give him the box, I thought he was the person I was waiting for, so I wanted to take the wooden box and hand it to him, and I also fulfilled my promise to the Taoist priest.
But when I took out the wooden box and handed it to the man, I didn't expect that as soon as he touched the wooden box, it was inexplicably bounced out.
Later, he tried a few more times and the result was the same, and I realized that he was not the person I was waiting for.
I've been sick since he left.
Then my two sons searched for famous healers and warlocks, but they were helpless, and then I knew that the Taoist priest was right, and I could only wait for someone who was destined.
