Chapter 6: Soul Grass
By the time they returned to Blackstone, it was completely dark and the gates were closed. No matter what the two of them said, the city gate official insisted on refusing to open the door, so he had to ask the yin god to come out and do it, and as a result, the city gate official let them in in a daze, which made the thousand-year-old demon proud for a while.
When I returned home, I saw that the four children were crying there, and when I saw Shi and Ah Jian coming back, they were suspicious of the dream. It turned out that Ah Hong and the others had been looking at the city gate for four afternoons, but when the city gate was closed and the two brothers did not come back, they thought that they must have died in the mouth of the demonic beast, and they had no intention of eating dinner again after they came back, and they have been crying until now.
Seeing that there were still so many children in the house, the old demon was naturally ready to move again, and when Ah Jian found out, he had already circled around the four people, but he still hadn't found another body that matched him.
"Old Yin God, don't beat my brothers and sisters' ideas, otherwise you won't have good fruit to eat!"
Ah Jian viciously warned the Yin God in his divine thoughts.
"Hmph, who is rare about them? Little brother, I've helped you so much, you just let me borrow your body for a day, just one day, okay?"
"No, if you borrow and don't pay it back, what should I do? If you have other requirements, I can consider it!"
"Little brother, you have to believe me, our world is a contract society, and it is the most honest. ”
"You don't need to say more, this absolutely won't work! If you want to do something, tell me, we can do it for you, isn't it?"
"Heh, you're going to do it for me, what can a bunch of little kids do?"
"Hmph, you bully people, I ignore you!"
The old monster saw that Ah Jian ignored it, and felt bored, so he went back to sleep in the meteorite.
For the small movements of the Yin God, the other people were at a loss, even the four children involved only felt that their spirits were in a trance, and they didn't feel anything abnormal.
Shi and Ah Jian had already discussed, and the matter of the thousand-year-old Yin God would not be known to the younger siblings, so as not to frighten them.
Speaking of which, it's not just the old monster who is in trouble, there is another one that is enough to give them a headache, and that is the soul grass.
There were twelve soul grasses they brought back this time, and each one contained strong soul power. Although Shi and Ah Jian are no longer afraid of their charm, the other four siblings may not be able to resist their charm, and if something happens, it will be too late to regret it.
Now that the old Yin God still exists, those soul grasses can still lie dormant, but who can guarantee that it will not run out to make waves in the future?
But if you send it to the pharmacy immediately, then there are so many soul herbs, is the pharmacy willing to accept them all, and will the price be very low? Moreover, the "Holy Scripture" says: "The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty", whether he has so many soul herbs or so many gold coins, it is enough to make others feel evil, how can he take care of his own children?
How good is that?
After thinking about it, the brothers thought for a long time, and only thought of a way. Aunt Zhang's husband is a mercenary, and he is already a high-level warrior, maybe he has heard of soul grass, so you might as well go and ask him!
After having dinner with their siblings and rearranging their prey and herbs, the brothers took advantage of the excuse to break up their siblings. They took out two soul grasses they were carrying, wrapped them in linen, and found the most remote corner in the courtyard outside the house, dug a deep pit to put the other soul grasses in, and then covered them with dirt and turf, and they really couldn't see anything if they didn't look carefully.
Aunt Zhang's house is near the city guard, her husband used to work in the city guard, and then the burden on the family was too heavy, so he changed his career to become a mercenary, but he didn't want to let the monster be injured, and he didn't know if he was completely healed now.
Seeing the two brothers coming, Aunt Zhang hurriedly let the two into the house and asked them if they had had dinner and if the younger siblings were okay. When the two answered, she still didn't believe it, thinking that it was a child who was thin-skinned and embarrassed to say it. You must know that it is still difficult for the well-to-do people to live in this green and yellow time, not to mention these children who are not hurt by their parents?
If it weren't for the bad business of the bun shop, and her husband hadn't completely recovered from his injury, and now the family has no last meal, she would have sent them something to eat a long time ago. However, the two children are here tonight, and even if there is no more at home, they have to gather some things for them to bring back, and they will find a way tomorrow.
When Shi and Ah Jian repeatedly explained that their family was not short of food, and took out a few prey that they brought with them to her, Aunt Zhang had some letters.
"Stone, Ah Jian, I will never ask for things. You tell Aunt Zhang the truth, did you go out of the city today? You don't want to think about it, what if you encounter a demonic beast?"
Seeing those pheasants and wild mice, Aunt Zhang couldn't guess where she was, she was sad and afraid, and tears poured out all of a sudden.
In the past few days, there are many people who have gone to the wasteland to find food because of the lack of food at home, but how can a child under the age of ten go out of the city to hunt? The children are very grateful, but how could she ask them to take such a big risk to hunt wild things?
"Aunt Zhang, don't worry! We only walked around a short distance outside the city, and we didn't even see the shadow of the demonic beast, don't you think we're all good?"
"Are you thinking I'm blind?"
As she spoke, she lifted the coats that Shi and Ah Jian had just changed, and the blood scabs on their bodies were immediately exposed, but she had already burst into tears.
"Good boy, don't go back in the future, if you can't live at home, tell Aunt Zhang, if we have a bite to eat, you won't be hungry. You promise Aunt Zhang, okay?"
"Aunt Zhang...... We hope you're ...... You......'re our mother! Don't cry...... We...... I will definitely repay you. ”
The two children were cried by Aunt Zhang, and they remembered the loneliness and helplessness of so many years, and remembered Aunt Zhang's kindness to them in the past, and couldn't help crying loudly.
"What's the matter, this is? Hey, Shi, Ah Jian, are you here? Have you eaten? If you haven't eaten, let's eat something here!"
This is Uncle Zhang who walked out of the room when he heard the sound, his face was still a little pale, but his spirit was fine, it seemed that the disease was gradually getting better.
"Uncle Zhang...... Are you feeling better? We've all had dinner! I'm here to talk to you about something, are you free?"
Seeing Uncle Zhang, the brothers quickly wiped away their tears and briefly said what they meant.
"Come to me? I'm free, I'm free! Why don't you come to the house?"
Aunt Zhang saw that the two brothers were really in trouble, so she put aside the prey they handed over, buttoned up their clothes for them, and then led them inside.
This room was originally Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang's bedroom, and now it is the place where Uncle Zhang is recuperating, and there are some decoction utensils in the room, and the smell of medicinal herbs is everywhere.
"Tell me, what do you need Uncle Zhang's help with? As long as your Uncle Zhang can help, he will never refuse!"
Uncle Zhang is still that heroic, no different from before the injury.
"Uncle Zhang, that's the case, this time the two of us brothers went to the wasteland, but we didn't want to encounter a few rare medicinal herbs, so I took them over and asked Uncle Zhang to palm your eyes. ”
It was Ah Jian who spoke, which the brothers had already discussed.
Shi loves martial arts and doesn't like to read and write, but Ah Jian has taught himself some in the past two years, so when he talks about business or talks with someone in the market, Ah Jian comes forward.
"You went to the wasteland? Well, a man has to be responsible, and regular training is good for the future, but you can't go far away, there are demonic beasts there. By the way, what herbs did you say you found in the wasteland? Come, let Uncle Zhang take a look!"
Uncle Zhang is different from Aunt Zhang, he is not vehemently opposed to the brothers going out of the city, but just reminds them not to go far. However, in his mind, it was impossible for these two children to go far, so if there was a possibility of picking any rare herbs, it should not be very large, so let's take a look and take it as a guide for them.
"That's it, I think it's very similar to the soul grass drawn in the pharmacopoeia, I don't know if it?"
Ah Jian opened the sackcloth bag, and the two soul grasses were revealed, and at this moment, Uncle Zhang immediately felt a trance, but he quickly recovered.
"This ...... It's soul grass, it's true! How did you get it? How can there be soul grass in this wasteland outside the city? Do you know how precious it is?"
Uncle Zhang's tone of voice was very anxious, and his expression was very excited, he never thought that these two children would give him such a big surprise.
"It's really soul grass, that's great! Aunt Zhang, we're going to have money soon! By the way, Uncle Zhang, we found them in a sinkhole deep in the wasteland, we picked them all, in addition to these two, I still have a few at home, I want to ask you to help us sell it, we only need half of the money from the sale, okay?"
"Silly boy, what are you talking about? Since this herb is valuable, let your uncle help you sell it, why do you want us to share any money?"
"No, Aunt Zhang, Uncle Zhang, if you don't collect money, we won't ask you for help, we'll send it to the pharmacy ourselves. ”
"Don't, don't, kid, don't! This thing is not an ordinary herb, it will attract attention as soon as you take it out, and even if you sell it, there is a chance that it will attract bandits, or even kill you. ”
"So, Uncle Zhang, we came to you, only a high-level warrior like you can suppress those gangsters, please promise us! Besides, this thing is worth half of us, and it is enough for a few of our brothers to live a good life. Aunt Zhang, what do you see?"
"This ......"
"Auntie, Uncle, just agree! Please!"
Seeing this, Shi Shi also hurriedly said.
"children, these children are all good children, take this love! Children, there will be a place where you will be needed in the future, in the wind and fire, your Uncle Zhang has nothing to say, thank you." ”
