Thirty-six Strange Stones
"Your Excellency, you can just be here for a moment, and I'll go in by myself. Back in front of the wooden house, which seemed to collapse at any time, Eunice smelled that there was an extremely unpleasant smell coming from inside the wooden house, and hurriedly stopped Mo Yuhe from entering.
After all, the smell inside the house was not good, Mo Yu did not shirk this time, and stood at the door waiting for Eunice to return to the house to retrieve the relics.
After a while, Eunice walked out with only a worn wooden box in his hand, came to Mo Yu, and said, "Your Excellency, you can go back now." ”
"Sir, can you leave now?" the coachman hurriedly opened the door and let Mo Yu and the three get into the carriage. The coachman felt that although the black-haired young man's clothes were very cheap, he was quite generous, unlike some gorgeous clothes, but for a little fare and his own money, such a gold owner was quite rare.
"Let's go. ”
......
In the carriage, Mo Yu looked at the dilapidated wooden box that Eunice had put aside, and was a little curious about what was inside.
Eunice glanced at Mo Yu and saw that he seemed to be very interested in the worn-out wooden box, and after making a decision, he handed the worn-out wooden box to Mo Yu and said, "Your Excellency, this is just a broken stone." ”
Mo Yu took the dilapidated wooden box that Eunice handed him, and when he opened it, he saw that it really contained a stone that was not good-looking. The stone was about the size of a fist, black throughout, made of stone and iron, and covered with a layer of dust, so that no one would pick it up even if it was dropped on the street.
"Is this rock left by your parents?" Mo Yu wondered.
"Yes, according to my parents, this stone is handed down from our ancestors, but it has no value at all, except that it is very hard. I had planned to sell it for treatment, but the price offered by the merchants, not to mention the cost of treatment, was probably only enough to pay the price of one or two black loaves of bread. Eunice said.
"My mother wanted to give it to the blacksmith to make a kitchen knife, but no matter how hard the blacksmith uncle tried, the strange stone showed no sign of melting. Lydia said preemptively.
"Hard?" Mo Yu took out the strange stone from the wooden box, held the strange stone in his hand, and slowly tried to exert force, for fear of pinching the relics of Younis's parents. But as the strength increased, the strange stone in his hand did not change. Until Mo Yu tried his best, he couldn't cause any damage to the strange stone.
Mo Yu was shocked in his heart, his strength was very clear in his heart, even if he didn't run the true qi in his body, his grip strength was hundreds of kilograms, not to mention stones, even steel could be pinched and deformed. Mo Yu was a little unconvinced, so he used the true qi in his body and poured it into his right hand with all his strength.
However, the aura emanating from Mo Yu's body made Eunice and Lydia shrink into a corner. Even Lydia, who was smiling all over her face, was a little scared, and now Mo Yu's aura was simply making it difficult for Lydia to even breathe. The horses leading the carriage knelt directly on the ground, refusing to get up no matter how much they were beaten.
The coachman felt a chill in his heart, and muttered to himself: "What's going on with this damn horse today, if you offend the owner, I'm afraid you will even lose today's income." The coachman was in a great hurry, and got out of the carriage and went forward to check on the horses.
"Mom, big brother, what's going on. Lydia's childish voice interrupted Mo Yu's thoughts, which were still struggling with the strange rocks.
After waking up, Mo Yu felt a little ridiculous, he didn't expect that he would be competing with a strange rock, forgetting that Eunice and Lydia were by his side, although they were not targeted, but they were just ordinary civilians, and they couldn't bear the breath that leaked out of them at all.
Mo Yu quickly retracted the breath on his body, and said to the mother and daughter with an apologetic face: "I'm sorry." ”
"Whew, whew!"
It wasn't until the black-haired boy retracted his breath that Eunice and Lydia took a few deep breaths and slowly calmed their nerves. And the horses leading the carriage also slowly stood up, it was the coachman who breathed a sigh of relief, at least today's income will not be messed up. The groom returned to his seat in the carriage and continued to spur the horse towards its destination.
Mo Yu put the strange stone back into the wooden box, then handed the wooden box to Younis, and said, "Although I don't know the use of such a stone yet, this stone is not simple, and its value may be incalculable. ”
Eunice took the wooden box handed by Mo Yu, lowered his head and looked at the wooden box in his hand quietly without speaking, and after a while, Eunice suddenly handed it to Mo Yu again, pleading: "Your Excellency Mo Yu, I hope you can accept this stone." ”
"Well, it's a relic that your parents left you. Mo Yu waved his hand and rejected Eunice's kindness.
"Your Excellency, think about it, even if this stone is valuable, it will not bring wealth to our mother and daughter, but a terrible disaster, and our helpless mother and daughter will not be able to protect this stone at all, and leaving this stone in our hands will only bring misfortune. Seeing that Mo Yu refused to accept the wooden box, Eunice continued to persuade.
"Big brother, you can take it. Lydia took the wooden box from her mother's hand, walked to Mo Yu's side, and stuffed it into Mo Yu's arms. Then quickly returned to Eunice's arms, not giving Mo Yu a chance to refuse.
"Alright then, I'll put it away for you first, and you can always get it back to me when you need it. Seeing that they were so resolute, Mo Yu couldn't say anything more, so he could only put it away first.
......
"Wow!"
The carriage stopped, and at this moment the groom jumped out of the carriage, bowed respectfully and opened the door, and said, "Your Excellency, the destination has been reached." ”
Lydia quickly jumped out of the carriage and stood in front of the door of the new house and shouted, "Mom, look here, this is our new house, don't you look beautiful!"
Eunice stepped out of the carriage and was startled by the new housing in front of her, muttering to herself, "This... Is this really the new home we're going to live in in the future?" said Eunice, who couldn't believe what was happening in front of her.
"Big brother, hurry up and open the door. Lydia stood in front of the door of her new home, waving her little hand at Mo Yu.
Although the coachman kept apologizing to Mo Yu and the carriage stopped, Mo Yu knew that the cause of the accident was because of himself, so Mo Yu still paid the driver double the fare.
Mo Yu took the wooden box and paper bag, followed by the coachman who was holding a lot of food, and walked slowly in the direction of Lydia.
Mo Yu walked to the door of the new house, took out the key from the paper bag, and opened the silver-white door.
Lydia scurried into the courtyard of her new home, waved to Eunice, who had not yet come to her senses, and shouted happily, "Come in, Mommy, it's even more beautiful inside, and there's a swing." Seeing that his mother did not respond, he ran to her side again and took her hand.
It wasn't until Lydia took her hand that Eunice came back to her senses, touched Lydia's head, and said softly, "Let's go!"
"Then hurry up, the eldest brother is still waiting for us in the courtyard" Lydia nodded, taking Eunice's hand and walking in the direction of Mo Yu.
Along the way, Lydia squeaked and babbled, as if she wanted to say everything she knew. And Eunice just smiled at her daughter along the way.
Before they knew it, everyone was in the living room of their new home.
Seeing Mo Yu's new home, the coachman couldn't help but sigh, the black-haired young man in front of him was dressed almost like himself, but even if he had worked hard all his life, the savings he had saved were not enough to buy a house here, and the gap between people was really big.
"Your Excellency, where is this food stored?" said the coachman.
Mo Yu looked around, found the location of the dining room, pointed to the long table in the dining room, and said, "Just put it over there." ”
The coachman put the food behind the rectangular dining table, came to Mo Yu and bent down, and said, "Your Excellency, if there is nothing to do, then I will take my leave." Seeing Mo Yu nodded, the coachman turned around and left.
"Goo!"
"Alright, I think you're hungry, so let's eat something and wait before we assign a room. Mo Yu heard Lydia's stomach gurgling, after all, Lydia was still in the development stage, and she was hungry quickly.
Feeling Mo Yu's gaze, Lydia's cheeks flushed, and she lowered her head embarrassedly, not daring to look at Mo Yu.
