Murong Li's brows furrowed.

He had only seen her like this in the little beggar who was dying of starvation on the side of the road.

No matter how poor a family is, as long as the parents are good at giving birth to children, they will not let the child lose weight like her.

He suddenly remembered that when he was at the inn, Zheng Dafu had said that he had saved Meow Seventeen, who was about to starve to death, and he only thought that this was Zheng Dafu's exaggeration, just to let people know his greatness.

Now it seems that Zheng Tai Fook may not have lied.

Meow Seventeen This ...... Obviously, as long as you can't get up in one breath, you can lose your breath at any time, and it's so thin that it's frightening.

His slender fingers pinched the only slightly fleshy cheek on her body, stared at her and asked, "Why are you so thin?" Didn't you just be sent back to Qingfeng Mountain by the Zheng family? Hungry like this after not eating enough for a few days? ”

Meow Seventeen obediently pinched his face, and did not resist, and said vaguely, "It's only been a few days since I was sent home...... But...... But haven't you eaten enough for a few days...... I haven't eaten enough for several years. ”

Murong Li remembered that she had asked her if she had eaten enough just now, and she immediately said that she was full, but later she was forced by him to admit that she had only eaten half full.

His face was dark, "You have only eaten half full in the Zheng family in the past few years?" ”

Without waiting for Meow Seventeen to speak, he said, "Aren't their Zheng family the richest man in Qingfeng Town?" You eat 250 taels of gold a day, and in a few years, you only have tens of thousands of taels of gold and silver, doesn't the richest man even have this little bit of money? Even if they don't have enough gold or silver for you to eat, can't they be exchanged for copper coins and iron tools to feed you? ”

Meow Seventeen secretly glanced at Murong Li, who suddenly became very angry for some reason, and was a little nervous.

She quickly lowered her head and didn't dare to meet his cold and angry gaze, and said cautiously, "Well, my lord, I haven't been able to find a chance to tell you that although I can eat gold, silver, copper and iron, I ...... But there is a difference. ”

Murong Li said viciously, "Make it clear." ”

Meow Seventeen swallowed a mouthful of saliva, lowered her head and whispered, "To me, gold and silver are about the same as the rice and meat that you humans eat...... Copper and iron, on the other hand, are equivalent to grass roots and bark...... Although eating copper and iron can also fill your stomach, it ...... But if I keep eating it, I will become what I am now. ”

She raised her wrist to show Murong Li.

She paused and continued, "People eat grass roots and bark three times a day, and their yellow muscles are thin, and their body is weak and not tall, and my ability to turn stones into gold will become weak when I grow up. Well, an adult gold-swallowing beast that eats gold and silver can produce tens of thousands of catties of gold a day, and I estimate that it is only a few tenths. ”

Murong Li's face was heavy, "What else?" Go on. ”

Meow Seventeen's head was about to be buried in his chest, and he said with little confidence: "Well, also, the gold content of the gold swallowing beasts they eat gold and silver is high, and there are few impurities, and the gold I change will be mixed with a lot of copper and iron, which is not pure......"

Speaking of this, Meow Seventeen was afraid that he would be disliked, so he hurriedly said: "Actually, the impurities are not heavy at all, other gold-swallowing beasts can only conjure gold and silver, I can not only conjure gold and silver but also copper and iron, I am much more powerful than them!" When the time comes...... When the time comes, let's find a few metallurgical craftsmen ourselves and separate the silver from the copper and iron. Although it is a bit troublesome, there are hundreds of catties of gold and silver in the account every day, which is not bad. ”
