Chapter 287: The Purpose of the Demon Crystal
Su Xiaoting couldn't help but widen her eyes, no wonder, that child wanted to borrow magic crystals for his aunt who was waiting to give birth.
In this way, this magic crystal is indeed magical, and it is likely to contain some kind of function to resist radiation and enhance the functions of the human body.
…… She suddenly thought that the healing agent purified from the magic crystal would only have a better effect, no wonder Ji Yingxue pretended to be sick at that time, and when she injected the healing agent, she did not shy away from others. Even though she is of United States blood, it can only help her!
The price of the healing agent is very expensive, I really don't know how Ji Yuning will feel when he knows that it makes him sad, and his sister, who died soon, will gain fame and fortune because of this?
“…… So the use of magic crystals as a bride price is to ensure that the woman will have a safe offspring in the future? ”
"Well, the family next to me, there are 7 adults I've seen alone, so if you calculate it, there will be almost a magic crystal in the annual tax!"
"They handed over the magic crystals that were going to keep their mother and son safe?"
Cloud Blob nodded, "What else?" If they don't pay, they will drag the unmarried women of the family to the army to resist the magic crystal, or send the two men in the family to work as coolies in the mines. ”
"In the army? She doesn't have any girls in her family, right? Su Xiaoting's heart tightened, and she said that the current woman is expensive, but she can't imagine that she is so cheap in Cang'er.
"The woman next door should have 3 husbands, and I have only seen 4 or 5 boys!"
Yun Ban didn't want to say more about these bad things, and gently pushed Su Xiaoting's shoulder to go back, but there was crying and scolding next door.
"Evil, this world is going to force our family to ruin! This is a good home~" An old voice accused.
"Ah Mei's belly is so big, there is no magic crystal, what if this is ...... If I had known that this would happen, I would rather she not give birth~"
"Third brother, don't talk like that! Tomorrow, my second brother and I will go to the Nine Eyes River again...... If it doesn't work, I'll go down to the river!" ”
The third child came in with a magic crystal, but the first time he became a father, he had to bear the risk of losing his wife and child, and in the final analysis, this family owes him.
"Linzi, you're crazy! …… If you go down to the river, you might as well drag my old bones to the mine~" The old man said excitedly just now.
"I said, let me ask His Holiness to borrow a magic crystal, in the future, I will be a cow and a horse, and I will definitely pay it back, why are you all stopping me?!" This is obviously the boy who knocked on the door just now.
"If you sell yourself, it's not worth the money, and people are not related to us, so why should they lend it to us.
If you owe the kindness of adults, otherwise you will lose your life, and the government will not take care of it! A middle-aged man said, as if realizing something, and suddenly lowered his voice,
"You come in for me! Big daddy, eldest brother, third brother, let's go in and talk, don't make a noise with the one next to you! ”
"Oh! Right, right! After a chaotic sound of footsteps, the courtyard fell silent for a while.
Su Xiaoting stood in the courtyard stunned, she couldn't imagine that a magic crystal in Wuya not only meant alleviating the curse disease, but also related to the prosperity and hope of the family.
Thinking of the endless women supporting the courtyard, if the hostess is gone, this family will be scattered!
Occasionally, when she went out and passed by the next door, she also saw a woman in the courtyard with a huge belly, as if she was pregnant with twins.
Although his face was haggard and old, his eyes looked at the children in the family kindly and lovingly.
"Cloud Spot! Can you do me a favor? Su Xiaoting turned her back and groped through her underwear, then turned around and said:
"Send this for me!"
Yun Ban saw that in Su Xiaoting's outstretched palm, there was a magic crystal lying with a glowing ghost, and looked at her deeply:
"Even if you don't want to run away, don't do too much of this kind of thing here, why do you think those people are nesting in the Jiuyan River for a winter? There are people who are worse than them, and you can't control it! ”
Su Xiaoting smiled bitterly, she didn't know that it was difficult for her to protect herself now, but since she still had the strength to spare, she was not short of money at this stage, it was just a matter of effort, why did she want to see death and not save her!
"I know, but since I've met it, if this magic crystal can keep the family alive, it's already worth it!"
"Good!" Cloud Madara took the magic crystal and didn't say anything more.
After walking out of the door, he took out the magic crystal that he had earned today, and put Su Xiaoting's one close to his body, before knocking on the wooden door next door......
Hearing the crying from next door, especially the cry of thanks from the young boy, Su Xiaoting shook her head, such a big family, crowded in a small courtyard like theirs, shows that life is difficult.
She suddenly remembered Mu Linglai, although the villages and towns there were not rich, but they were happy and content, simple and leisurely! People's faces are always full of energy and happiness!
Yun Ban walked into the courtyard and restrained his smile, he had just told the family that it was his sister Bodhisattva's heart that gave them a magic crystal to tide over the difficulties.
Hearing the other party's praise, he was even happier than he had been praised, and at this moment he suddenly had the urge to let everyone see An Ting.
Then let them know that An Ting is his cloud-spotted sister!
Because of this thought, after dinner the next morning, he set out to go out.
"I'm going to buy something and I'll be back soon! Those who collect taxes shouldn't come so early! ”
He first went to the candy shop in the town, looked around and finally bought fried cheese, and then went to the clothing shop and bought a bright red women's cotton robe.
"This waist will be changed to 2 inches smaller, no, 3 inches!"
"Whose girl is so thin? It's a pity if I want me to say that the little girl of twelve or thirteen can grow for a few years and do it so tightly!"
"My sister is so thin, besides, how can I let her wear an old robe! Hurry up~"
When Yun Ban rushed home with a padded jacket and a bunch of snacks, he was stunned at the door, as if he had poured a basin of ice water on his head.
The door was wide open, and the door inside was open.
"Anting!"
Yun Ban shouted and rushed into the bedroom, but saw that the room was empty, and the chain that tied Su Xiaoting's ankle was broken in two near the root.
Cloudspot threw down the package and pounced to take a closer look at the break......
"It's ~ yes... Holy Master! ”
Apart from that, no one can tear such a thick piece of fine iron with his bare hands without the help of tools.
Cloud Spot turned around and ran out, his newly frozen heart seemed to be thrown into the crater again, and his eyes were red, as if a flame had ignited.
"Big, big brother! You, your sister, were taken away by a group of people! Yang Wazi stood at the door, frightened and weak.
"Who is it? Where did it go? Cloud Spotted almost gritted his teeth.
"Not the ones who collect taxes! They were well dressed, like officers and soldiers, and they were not uniforms, they were all black, and they were riding horses, and the man who hit the head had a long ponytail. ”
When Su Xiaoting was taken away, he leaned on the wall and peeked a few times, and as soon as he heard that Yun Ban was back, he immediately ran to report the news.
"When did you leave?" Yun Ban said as he lifted Yang Wazi's collar.
Yang Wazi's father rushed out uneasily, "It's been 20 minutes since I walked, and I walked to the city gate!" I feel like someone from the capital. ”
"Big brother, are you waiting? Hey, there's more than 20 of them......"
Before Yang Wazi finished speaking, Yun Ban had already disappeared at the entrance of the alley, and he had to help lock the courtyard door with Daddy.
"God, why don't you punish those bad people, and you just pick good people to bully?" Daddy glanced at the gray sky and complained silently.
