Chapter 1889: Filial Piety
Niu Xi finally chose the pill, and also said that he was not ready to sell it.
It shows that he cares about his father very much in his heart, and there is indeed filial piety. On the surface, he is incompatible with his father, but he doesn't really hate him.
This also means that Jia Zhengjin's gamble has an advantage, and he only needs to prevent Yue Lang from changing Niu Xi's current mind, and he will directly win a month later.
It's very simple to take the pill back, but Jia Zhengjin's big box of copper coins is more troublesome.
I can't take the copper coin into the firewood, it's too heavy.
After deliberation, it was decided to put it in the maze and take a small part with it first. Tomorrow I'll come up with an idea to see how we can remove the whole box of copper coins, and even more of the treasures in the labyrinth.
The roads that have been walked are all marked, and the next time you come in, you don't need to take a detour, you can directly reach the secret room.
The two of them closed the stone door again, sold the switches and hints with dust and leaves, and remodeled the hole outside, which was so tightly blocked that it was difficult to see.
After that, they returned to the safe area, cut a few bundles of firewood, stuffed a small number of copper coins into them, and carried them back to the village.
To avoid the suspicion of the villagers, after going home and hiding the copper coins, he took Niu Xi up the mountain to see the firewood a few times.
Niu Xi has never done such work, and has suffered a lot, and his hands and feet are worn out.
But he looked excited, not bitter in the slightest.
After all, it will soon be developed, and there will be no need to live a hard life in the future.
When the sun was about to go down, the two of them came back from one last trip to chop wood, and the better it would be to go up the mountain early tomorrow morning and continue to explore the maze.
In the evening, of course, each should think about how to bring so much treasure with him.
Go down the mountain and go home, not to mention Jia Zhengjin's side.
Niu Xi carried his tired body back to the house, piled the firewood next to the house, and poured it into the house with the teapot and grunt.
"Ahem~" Niu Bao was in a complicated mood and dragged his sick body to get up. Looking at my son, who was so tired for the first time in his life and seemed to have suffered a lot of injuries, I didn't know what to think.
This son was rebellious since he was a child, probably because of the death of his mother.
Niu Bao is not too good to his wife, and the two often quarrel and even fight.
Later, after a quarrel between husband and wife, the wife actually hanged Niu Bao when he went to the ground, and as a result, he died.
Since then, Niu Bao has been full of self-blame, and he can't afford to get sick, and his body is getting weaker and weaker. And Niu Xi also hated his father very much because of this. At that time, he was still very young, and from time to time he verbally collided.
Niu Bao himself was not lightly ill, and his wife was in a bad mood after the death, so he beat him when he was angry.
The more Niu Xi became, the more disobedient he became, and even the more he hated himself, and the father and son began to gradually become enemies.
Niu Xi has been reluctant to help him go to the field since he was a child, and he works outside every day, not wanting to see himself. Niu Bao could only drag his sick body to work, and his health was even worse, until now, he was so weak that he didn't even have the strength to go to the ground.
Today I heard that his son was going to go up the mountain with Niu Shun to chop firewood, but he didn't believe it.
Later, I found out that my son really followed Niu Shun up and down the mountain together, brought back several bundles of firewood, and thought he was dreaming a few times.
In front of him, this is really his own son Niu Xi? It can't be a monster, right?
"Look at what, old thing, go back to your bed and lie down, don't block me!" Niu Xi put down the teapot, turned his head to see his father, and scolded coldly. He put down the teapot heavily, turned around and walked back to his room.
This is his own son.
Niu Bao breathed a sigh of relief, but he always felt that today's son was a little strange.
What the hell happened to him, why did he suddenly follow Niu Shun up the mountain to chop wood?
Could it be that there was some kind of disaster outside, so he hid and didn't dare to leave the village? If so, how much trouble would it be?
The more I thought about it, the more worried I became, the more I thought about it, the more scared I became, and the more I coughed.
Thinking about asking what's going on, the relationship with his son has always been bad, and they can quarrel with each other after saying two or three words.
Holding his stomach depressed, when it was time to eat, Niu Bao casually got some wild vegetable gruel and hid in his room to eat it.
He and his son don't eat together now, they all make their own meals.
Halfway through the meal, he saw the door of the room being pulled back.
Niu Xi, the son who originally refused to step into his room half a step, walked in at dinner time for the first time today, which 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 when he reached the threshold, paused in place for a while, and finally turned back and entered the room, and put down a paper bag on the table, and there was a pill on the paper packet: "Hurry up and eat it!"
"What's that?" Niu Bao frowned, "Poison?"
"Poison can't kill you old thing!" Niu Xi snorted coldly, "With your sick appearance, it is estimated that you will not live long." I don't have to waste money. ”
"You ......" Niu Bao was so angry that his heart hurt, he clutched his chest and put down the dishes and chopsticks, "You let me out!"
"Hmph, who rarely stays here, it's uncomfortable to see you!" Niu Xi said coldly, "Take the medicine, I'll leave immediately." ”
"Where did you get the medicine?" Niu Bao looked at the table in confusion.
There is not much spare money at home, and Niu Xi never asks himself to take money, and only hangs out with fox friends and dog friends every day, and fights with friends in the autumn breeze.
It is impossible for him to have the money to buy medicine, whether it is a cure or a poison.
Speaking of which, my son's behavior today was very strange, and he went up the mountain with Niu Shun to chop firewood, and entered his room inexplicably, and let himself take some medicine.
"Eat it if you want to, don't give me nonsense!" Niu Xi said in a bad tone.
"I know what kind of medicine this is, I'll take it?" Niu Bao hesitantly stood up, reached out to pick up the medicine bag, and found that there was a bamboo slip on it, "What is this?"
His son Niu Xi went to a private school when he was a child, but he himself was illiterate.
Niu Xi hesitated for a few seconds, and wanted to turn around and leave.
But he still stepped forward and said angrily: "The paper bag is gold sore medicine, and the wound is taken externally." This is a disease removal pill, as long as it is not a terminal disease, it can be cured! Don't give me ink, if you don't use it, I'll sell it for money myself!"
Niu Bao was stunned for a moment, pushed away his son's outstretched hand, took a closer look at the medicine in his hand, and felt stabbed by something: "Where did it come from?"
"Don't give it back to me!" Niu Xi said, but he didn't reach out to grab it.
"No, you went up the mountain with Niu Shun to chop wood during the day, where did this medicine come from?" Niu Bao was really puzzled, and his mood was quite complicated.
"Don't ink! Either use it quickly, or give it back 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 disease pill in his hand: "I'm not afraid that you will poison me!
After speaking, he directly threw the dispelling pill into his mouth.
The pill melted in his mouth, and a strange energy instantly spread throughout his body, making Niu Bao feel extremely comfortable.
"When the sky thunders, it will also split you first!" Niu Xi saw his father take the pill, turned his head and left the room.
