221 jade pendants
And at the moment when he turned his head back, Xia Mu Hibiscus happened to run over from the other end, and suddenly, several tall figures walked quickly, blocking Xia Mu Hibiscus's petite figure, and just like that, the two passed by.
Xia Mujin ran to a stall full of seeds, and studied the various seeds on the ground, passers-by came and went, but no one stopped at the stall for a moment.
"Son, do you buy it?"
The person who set up the stall was a tall and thin old man, full of silver hair, dressed very shabby, with hands like dry bones, and next to him lay an old woman of a similar age, but at the moment there was no air in and out.
And the old man's eyes were full of kindness, and when he saw Xia Muji's appearance, he was obviously a little surprised, but it was only fleeting.
Xia Mujin didn't pay attention to the change in the old man's expression at this moment, but looked at the old man with trembling eyes, and said very honestly:
"Grandpa, I don't have any money."
After speaking, he quietly looked at the old man, thinking that he would show regret or wave her away, but he didn't, his expression was still kind, and his eyes looked at her with a little deep meaning.
"But maybe I can cure my grandmother."
Seeing this, Xia Mujin also let go, although he was not sure enough, he still said in a low voice.
followed Shen Muhan for some time, when his mother was pregnant, for a period of time, he gave his mother an injection every day, and also used some medicine, she would ask a lot when she had time, and there would be some after a long time, and this symptom Shen Muhan once mentioned, it was very similar to the symptoms of this old grandmother, and she also knew the specific herbs, but I don't know if this old man will believe her.
"Hehe, child, don't tease my old man, this doctor has seen countless things, but he didn't cure after all, the old woman didn't want to be at home, saying that she would die in the old man's arms, and the first time we met was such a temperament, I was still a poor boy who set up a stall, and she was the daughter of the rich party, but just one glance, I made a private decision for life."
The old man coughed up a mouthful of blood as he spoke, and the old grandmother also had a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, but two lines of tears flowed out of the laughter.
"Child, we are also fate, can the old man ask you to do half of the favor?"
Looking at the blood in his palm, Xia Mujian felt an inexplicable pain in his heart, the blood had a strange taste, and the color was black, this clear-eyed person knew that it was poisoned, suddenly, the hand that had been thin slowly stretched over, and held the bloody hand tightly, Xia Muhibiscus eyes were red, and even nodded in response:
"Grandpa, you say."
She had witnessed the death of her little grandparents, and the bodies of the two were fished up hand in hand, even in the end, when she buried them in a tomb.
"Child, put these away, don't underestimate them, they are all treasures."
The old man's body staggered, and then Xia Muhiscus found that the old grandmother had a thick thick straw mat under him, Xia Mujin quickly packed up the things on the ground, and carried the small bag on himself, seeing that the old man was going to pull the straw rope extending from under the straw mat to drag the old grandmother away, Xia Muhibiscus hurriedly went up, and just stretched out his hand, but was rejected by the old man.
"The first time we got together was in my hometown, and I made this straw mat, and she sat on it, and I pulled her from home to the mountains and from the mountains back home."
The old man walked very hard, and the step by step was particularly heavy, but even if the green tendons on his forehead were protruding, he still didn't ask Xia Muhibiscus to help, so he slowly walked for nearly an hour, and came to a remote mountain, Xia Muhibiscus looked at the low house, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
"Son, this is my hometown."
The old man gasped, unable to speak, and pointed to a desolation like a dry bone, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
"We'll be buried here later."
As he spoke, he pointed to a place not far under his feet, Xia Mujin followed the place of his finger, and saw a large cemetery through a grass, and the Jiang family was vaguely written on the tombstone.
Her eyes suddenly enlarged, and she hurriedly said:
"Grandpa, you won't die, we must have a way to save you."
At this moment, the old man squatted down, sat down on the spot, and slowly helped the old grandmother, let her lean on his shoulder, and held the old grandmother's hand tightly:
"The old woman's illness is not incurable, but I am highly poisoned, and today is the limit, she has been unwilling to be treated, and has been holding on to her breath, waiting to die with me."
As he spoke, he gently stroked the old grandmother's hair in the north wind and patted the back of her hand, and Xia Mujin couldn't help but cover her mouth and cry.
"Come, O child"
Suddenly, the old man waved his hand at Xia Muhibiscus again, and Xia Muhibiscus hurriedly wiped away his tears and sat on the ground.
"Remember, carry forward the Jiang family and win glory for the ancestors"
Suddenly, the palm of his hand was cold, and a jade pendant fell into his palm, but this jade pendant was only half, and the uncle hung his head straight, and there was no sound, the old woman smiled slightly, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, and in less than a moment, she also broke off her breath.
"Don't, don't, grandpa, grandma"
Xia Mujin didn't have time to study the jade pendant carefully, but she couldn't help crying loudly, she didn't know why her heart hurt so much, she couldn't bear the pain, and the old grandmother's smile before she died, she always felt that she had seen it in a dream.
There was no coffin, Xia Mujin went to the people in the nearby village to borrow, but no one wanted to borrow it all over, and everyone heard that the dead were very numb, like the most ordinary thing, in the end, she had no choice, that is, she dug with her hands, and it rained heavily in the middle of the digging, but she did not give up for a moment, knowing that the third day dawned, she numbly carved the tombstone, and used her best efforts to move the two into the big pit, and then sealed the soil.
After being hungry for almost three days, she was exhausted, and her eyes were black when she inserted the tombstone into the dirt, and she completely lost consciousness.
"Ah Lan'er, don't, go quickly, go quickly"
In the sleep, a large group of people surrounded two young women, a woman held a four or five-year-old little girl in her hand, on the ground, blood flowed like a river, everywhere were scattered limbs, a sad female voice suddenly came, Xia Mujin wanted to see the woman's face clearly, but it was dark all around, slowly, and began to fog again, faintly, two staggering figures came quietly, they were full of smiles, looked at Xia Mujian, and said in a kind voice:
"Child, we have been looking for most of our lives, and we finally found it, remember, carry forward our Jiang family" Suddenly, it was dark again in front of her, but the two figures went hand in hand, Xia Mujin wanted them to stay and not leave, but she couldn't make any sound, suddenly, her eyes opened, and her body was soaked with sweat.
As far as the eye can see, it is a very ordinary roof.
"Look, it's like that sassy fox."
Suddenly, a basin of cold water was deducted, Xia Mujin was drenched, and above her head, there was an old and sharp voice, she looked at her suddenly, but saw an old man with white hair staring at her coldly with a cane at the moment.
She wanted to sit up with her body propped up, but she really didn't have the strength, she was already drenched in the rain, her whole body was soft, not to mention, and she was hungry for a few days, and she was about to become a muddy beach.
"Where is this? Who are you? ”
She tried to make a sound, but she was startled by a word, is this still her own voice?
It's just hoarse.
"Fortunately, the fox gave birth to a daughter back then, otherwise, you would have been cut by a thousand knives with your appearance."
It was still the old man's sharp and hostile voice, Xia Muhibiscus felt a stirring in his heart, and reached out to touch his clothes, fortunately, the matter of his daughter's body was not discovered, and then he hid the jade pendant, these people were obviously very aimed at the old grandfather and grandmother.
"This old man, his appearance is destined by God, his parents give it, if everyone wants to give birth to a pleasing appearance, is there still beauty and ugliness in the world?"
She blinked her eyes a few times, remembering the strange dream that made her hair stand on end, and whispered.
At this time, a middle-aged woman walked in with some food, the woman was dressed very ordinary, but there was a sense of nobility, even the grandmother was no exception, according to the age of the woman, it should be on par with her mother.
"Hmph, sharp teeth and sharp mouth, eat quickly, leave here when you finish eating, outsiders are not welcome in our village."
The old man glanced at Xia Muhibiscus coldly, tapped his cane, and said sharply.
Xia Mujin has taken care of so much, even if her whole body hurts, but her stomach is already hungry at the moment, and her chest is close to her back, even if she gives her two cows, she can eat.
I saw her lift the quilt and hit the ground with her socks on, and then she threw herself directly on the table and began to gobble up.
At first, the old man was still suspicious of her gender, but now that he saw her appearance, he also believed that it was just a boy and a child-
