Chapter 50: Windfall
As soon as we entered, my grandmother greeted us warmly, beckoned us to sit down, and brought us some fruit, and we sat on the only two benches in my grandmother's house, looking at the empty room without even a decent piece of furniture, and felt very uncomfortable.
This room is so shabby that I can't find a place to hide the money, the back room is closed, it must be the room of the grandmother's deceased son, and there is a bedroom on the side, but there is only a bed in it, and the bedding on the bed is old and a little yellow, you can imagine how the grandmother has lived these years, and how should she live without her son suddenly.
"Grandma boiled water for you, the wild tea in this mountain is delicious." The old woman said and walked towards the kitchen.
It is said that it is a kitchen, but in fact it is a narrow compartment, that is, a simple stove, and my grandmother is adding firewood to the stove at the moment, but the utensils in my grandmother's hand that are playing with the fire have attracted my attention, and I quickly look at the soul eye.
This is what I accidentally discovered when I was fighting zombies, and when I opened my soul eye to look at the zombies, I accidentally caught a glimpse of the chains on the zombies' feet with a strange brilliance, and when I put away the soul eyes, the strange brilliance of the chains disappeared again.
At that time, I knew that my soul eye could not only perceive the heavy heavens of my opponent, but also distinguish magic weapons.
Sure enough, the utensils in the hands of the grandmother who were playing with the fire also emitted a strange brilliance under the peep of the soul eye, and it was really looking for it thousands of times, but it was in the depths of the fire.
"Grandma, what's in your hand?" I asked, feigning ignorance.
"Oh, this iron lump, my son went up the mountain to collect medicine and dug it out, it can't be cut or split, I hold it easily, and it won't get hot after being roasted by the fire for a long time, so I will use it to make a fire." Grandma said flatly.
"Can you show me?" I further said.
"If you like it, take it." Grandma handed me the things in her hand without even thinking about it.
Maybe this thing is a lump of iron in my grandmother's hands, but in the hands of our cultivation, it is completely different, this thing is definitely a good magic weapon, but with my level of knowledge, I can't see its origin.
I gently stroked the carbon ash on the object, and I could see that it was roughly shaped, it was a short sword about forty centimeters long, but it was buried in the ground all the year round, and coupled with its own particularity, there were too many impurities attached to it that were difficult to remove by manpower, so that it looked like a lump of iron, covering its true face.
I was wondering how to give the money to my grandmother, so I said, "Grandma, this is an antique, I bought it." ”
"It's just an antique, grandma is old, but I'm not stupid, I know that you children are kind-hearted, you don't need money to help us get rid of the scourge, and let the money be taken by those Taoist priests who have no ability, you are looking at my poor old woman, and you want to give me money by tricks." Grandma said as she lit the fire.
Ginger is still old and spicy, my little caution is clearly seen by the grandmother, but this thing is indeed a treasure, not to mention that I do have the heart to help the grandmother, I must also give money based on the value of this thing.
"Grandma, since you have seen through it, then I will tell you the truth, this thing is not an antique but also a treasure, it is a treasure in our business of slaying demons and demons, I must give you money." That's all I can say.
"Wouldn't that be better? This thing is a burning stick in the hands of my old woman, and it has its value in your hands, and it can help you kill demons and demons, which is also considered a wish of mine, if you don't happen to come, I'm afraid that even my old woman, and even our whole village will not escape death, my son found this thing, and happened to be met by you, this is your fate with it, and it is also with my fate, this is the good man has a good reward, it should be yours. The old woman continued.
I was speechless when my grandmother said this, I don't know why the old man saw these truths so thoroughly, I was thinking about how to persuade my grandmother to accept the money, but Fan Yu gently tugged at the corner of my clothes, I knew that he must have a better idea.
"Grandma, since this is the case, then I will accept this thing, even if it is a thank you gift for us to avenge your son." When I thought of the basket of eggs that my grandmother had given us all the belongings in the house, and then the fact that my grandmother almost knelt down to thank us when she learned that we had killed the walking corpse, I had to say this, hoping to comfort my grandmother's heart.
"That's right, as long as you like this thing, you can take it, and your grandmother will be happy, come, drink tea, this tea is fragrant." Grandma said happily.
"Well, it's fragrant." The four of us said in unison.
I know that this tea is actually the best thing that grandma can entertain us, and the aroma of tea has long ceased to be the tea itself.
We chatted with my grandmother for a long time, until it was getting late, my grandmother was reluctant to send us away, we walked far away, grandma still stood firmly outside the door, her eyes never took her eyes off us, this scene reminded me of the day I left my grandfather, and the mood at the moment was extremely uncomfortable.
"Third brother, tell me what you think." I asked, actually, I was trying to ease my emotions.
"It's very simple, we give the money to the old man, let the old man say that it is the county poverty alleviation, first help grandma repair the house, and let the old man take a part of the rest of the money to grandma every month, just say that it is a special poverty subsidy given by the county." Fan Yu said with a smile.
"Good idea, why didn't I think of it, we'll go to the old man now." With that, we walked towards the old man's house.
"By the way, how much money do you have on you?" I asked as I walked.
"I have two hundred." Said ferociously.
"I have a thousand." Ding Yi said.
"Two poor ghosts, forget it, take it back." I said to the two of them.
I knew that I would encounter this incident, so I would have used the card given by my godfather, but now in this poor country, where can I get the money.
"Big brother, how much do you want?" Fan Yu asked with a smile.
"I don't know how much it costs to repair the house and then my grandmother's living expenses." I said a little depressed.
"As far as the area of grandma's house, let alone repair, it is rebuilt at most 30,000 yuan, this place is connected to water and electricity, and then buy some furniture and repair it casually to count 20,000, the living standard of this place, I calculate more than 500 yuan a month, grandma alone is more than enough, grandma is now more than 70, grandma lives more than 100 years old, 200,000 living expenses, this place is a burial, the cost is not high, 300,000 is enough for grandma to enjoy her old age." Fan Yu said.
"But I only have more than 30,000 on me, it's really a small account that can't be calculated, what can I do? There is no place to withdraw money from this place. I said sadly.
"Wait for me, car keys." After Fan Yu finished speaking, he took the car key handed over by Ding Yi and ran towards the parking place.
In fact, if we get this magic weapon for 300,000 yuan, we can be regarded as making a lot of money, and we want to ask my godfather to treat my godmother, but all the belongings are not as good as a magic weapon, but we don't dare to give too much.
After a while, Fan Yu came back and threw the car keys back to Ding Yi, still carrying a black garbage bag in his hand.
"Let's go, here's half a million, it's definitely enough." Fan Yu walked forward as he spoke, ignoring our surprised eyes.
Not to mention that this goods are packed in garbage bags, even the realm of carrying 500,000 cash in the car is also unimaginable, although I have a card of 40 million, from small to large, the most money I have ever seen is the 30,000 yuan that my grandfather gave me.
Soon arrived at the old man's house, the old man was still smoking dry tobacco in front of the house, why did we choose the old man, one is because of the old man's character, and his status in the village, and the other is because the old man's wife died of illness, and now there is only one mute son, who is also honest and honest, and the old man's grade is not big, in fact, he is about fifty years old.
Seeing us coming, the old man was also very happy, and hurriedly ordered his son to come into the house to bring us food, and after we explained our intentions, the old man said that we are living Bodhisattvas, and there are still such good people as us in the world, God really has eyes, and so on These words of praise.
After everything was arranged, we returned to the place of residence, and it was more than ten o'clock in the evening, according to the expectation is to take 300,000 out, borrow the hand of the old man, so that the old grandmother has no worries for the rest of her life, but after thinking about it, I still gave the old man 100,000, let the old man help his son marry a daughter-in-law, and leave the rest to the old man for the elderly.
In fact, this is all Fan Yu's idea, Fan Yu said that everyone has their own moral bottom line in front of money, some people are 100,000, some people are million, but at this age, his moral bottom line is not exactly money, but to marry a daughter-in-law to his son.
Giving the old man a part of the money is purely regarded as a good deed, and besides, if the old man takes the money, he will naturally not think about his grandmother's money anymore, after all, the old man is an honest person.
In fact, this night of wandering down has accelerated the absorption of the elixir, and the three brothers are almost fine, except for the fierce ribs, it will take some time, but it will not be a big deal sooner.
Originally, we planned to leave overnight, but I still couldn't rest assured that the bodies of the three of them were, so I let them sleep, I studied the treasures from my grandmother's house, and I called them about the same time, and the three of them knew that I could go without sleep for a few days and nights, so they went to sleep.
I took out my grandmother's burning stick, turned on the soul fire and used the alchemy technique, under the effect of the soul fire, sure enough, as I expected, the impurities attached to the outside of the burning stick began to peel off little by little, and it didn't take long to reveal its true face, a short sword with a beautiful sword body appeared in front of me, and the cold light emitted by the sword body knew that this sword was extremely sharp at a glance.
I looked at the short sword in my hand, maybe as my grandmother said, this is fate.
In the zombie tomb, I wanted to take the iron chain, but because we had good intentions, I got this magic weapon by mistake, I have been thinking about my grandmother's words, grandma is an ordinary person at any time, but she seems to have seen through all this.
I felt as if something was pushing me forward, and I couldn't calm down anymore after thinking about it, so I took out some ointment and refined some internal healing pills, and when I finished refining, it was already four o'clock in the morning.
I put the short sword into the soul ring, and quietly woke up the three brothers, yes, we are going to leave secretly, when we went to prepare the meal yesterday, the people in the village thanked them vigorously, saying that we were injured for them, but we didn't take a penny for the way of heaven, and we must stay for a few more days, so that they can treat us well to express their gratitude.
But we had already lost enough time along the way, and we didn't want to break the cost of the villagers, so we decided to leave secretly at night.
The four of them came to the car quietly, worried that the fierce ribs were not completely healed, so under the unanimous pressure of the three of us, he was forced to jump into the cab, in order to avoid waking up the villagers, we did not start, but pushed all the way.
