Chapter 23: Chopper Awakens

Cheng Ming saw that Lao Dao had an extra box in his hand, and he also stepped forward to look at the box carefully.

This is a wooden jewelry box, the whole body of the box is black and red, although it is covered with dust, but you can also see that the wood grain texture on it is so beautiful, you can also smell the faint sandalwood fragrance on the box when you get closer, and there is a copper lock on one side of the box, although the individual is small, but the pattern on it is very fine, not like it is pressed by the machine, but like handmade.

Lao Dao carefully opened the lock on the box, lifted the lid, and saw that there was a layer of yellow satin inside, and a pair of snow-white jade bracelets were placed on the satin, which felt like a woman's skin, which made people fall in love with it.

"This is a pair of mutton fat jade bracelets, good things."

Lao Dao was amazed, and picked up a bracelet to play with, Cheng Ming was also a little curious, and reached out to get the other one, but was stopped by Lao Dao.

Cheng Ming was a little confused, so he saw Lao Dao put the bracelet in his hand back into the box, closed the lid, and turned his head to look at Cheng Ming.

"Didn't you say that the old way would be a backer? Aren't you teasing me? Then I'll keep this good thing and play with it myself. ”

After speaking, he put the box in his arms, and Cheng Ming was speechless, this old child and old child are talking about the old way.

Cheng Ming saw that Lao Dao had a child's temper, so he had to put a flattering smile on his face and said.

"Don't mind, real person, boy, that's a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue." After speaking, he hurriedly picked up Lao Dao. patted the soil on Lao Dao's clothes again and said.

"Your old man can't use it, do you think you should try it for the kid, if you can absorb it, maybe Chopper will be able to wake up, and our safety will be guaranteed, right?"

Seeing that Cheng Ming was also quite upright, Lao Dao patted Cheng Ming's shoulder and said.

"Boy, you're very good at coming to things, yes, yes, you're right, Chopper waking up early is very helpful to our safety."

"yes, yes." Cheng Ming saw that Lao Dao was relieved, and hurriedly rubbed his hands and waited for Lao Dao to hand him the box. But after waiting for a long time, Lao Dao didn't hand the box to Cheng Ming, but patted the dust on the clothes behind him and said.

"However, it's still not safe to absorb here, let's go back to the hotel and try again at night, it's safer, isn't it?"

After speaking, Shi Shiran walked out of the jade shop.

Cheng Ming looked at the back of the old man, and countless grass and mud horses galloped past in his heart, blaming himself for owing to his mouth, ridiculing who was not good, to ridicule this old child, but today he got the mutton fat jade bracelet, Cheng Ming was still extremely happy in his heart, but he just didn't know if it would be empty joy again.

Cheng Ming hurriedly caught up with Lao Dao, followed Lao Dao for a while, offered courtesy, and walked back to the hotel after a short time.

At this time, Shen Min had already cooked and was waiting for the two to return, but when he saw the two of them like that, he couldn't help but question.

"Did you two go roll in the dirt? So disgraced? ”

Cheng Ming and Lao Dao glanced at each other, didn't they? The two of them were covered with dirt on their heads, especially Lao Dao, who fell into the counter and made no part of their bodies clean.

"Let's go wash and eat." Shen Min didn't delve into this matter, just asked the two of them to wash, and then packed up their things by themselves.

When the two returned to the room after washing, they saw that Shen Min and the three of them had already started eating, and the two of them were really hungry at this time, so they didn't say much, so they hurriedly sat down and ate.

After eating, Shen Min pulled out a few large bags that had already been placed in the room and said.

"I saw that you didn't have any luggage, so I reloaded it, Brother Cheng, you have a lot of strength, you carry those vegetables and water, Ke'er and Xiaofan are still young, I put some less biscuits in their bags, a little lighter, I and the real person carry the rest, I estimate that we can save some food, and we can last for about 10 days."

After listening to Shen Min's words, Lao Dao nodded vigorously, patted Cheng Ming's shoulder and said, "If you have a lot of strength, you should carry it more, well, it's very well arranged." ”

Cheng Ming listened to Lao Dao's words and twitched in his heart, but thinking about it, among several people, although Lao Dao is also in his 80s, but after the transformation of gems, Lao Dao's physical fitness is much better than that of middle-aged people in their 40s, but the overall quality is still not comparable to himself.

And Shen Min is just an ordinary person at the age of twenty-four or five, and the two children are not to mention much, just take a little bit, so no matter how you look at it, he is in the best body, and after the transformation of the gem, his strength is really the greatest among the few.

"Okay, let's arrange it this way." Cheng Ming nodded and said, "Since everything is allocated, then everyone should rest early today and go on the road early tomorrow." Ke'er, Xiaofan, you and Shen Min live in the same room today, and I live in the same room with real people. ”

"You are so relieved of me, aren't you afraid that I will abduct Ke'er and Xiaofan?"

Shen Min asked strangely, in this era, relatives may turn against each other in order to survive, let alone people who have only known each other for a day.

Cheng Ming smiled: "I believe in you." After speaking, he went back to his room with Lao Dao.

These four simple words made Shen Min feel a very strange feeling in his heart, it seemed that this man was not so annoying.

······

Saying that, Cheng Ming returned to his room, and immediately had a flattering smile on his face, rubbing his hands and saying to Lao Dao: "Real person, look, can you let me try it now?" ”

Lao Dao looked at Cheng Ming's expression, and said angrily: "I know that your kid is not at ease, and he pretends to be righteous and awe-inspiring, are you interested in that Shen girl?" ”

As he spoke, Lao Dao took out the box from his arms and threw it to Cheng Ming, and then lay on the bed comfortably leaning on the head of the bed and half-lying down.

"Real person, don't talk nonsense, Shen Min is still young, we can't mess around."

"What is small, you are four or five years older than her, I think it is just right."

Cheng Ming was a little helpless, this old child, what's wrong today? But now that the jade bracelet is in hand, let's try it quickly.

Cheng Ming opened the box in his hand, took out one of the bracelets and put it in the palm of his hand, and began to prepare to try to absorb it, and at this time, Lao Dao was also nervous, lying on the bed, his eyes were firmly fixed on the jade bracelet in Cheng Ming's hand, but after a long time, Cheng Ming did not feel half a cent of energy, Cheng Ming was a little frustrated, so he was about to throw the bracelet aside, and Lao Dao saw Cheng Ming's expression and turned his head a little discouraged.

"Where are you going to find the jade that can be absorbed, when will Chopper wake up." Cheng Ming muttered in his mouth, but at the moment when he read Chopper, suddenly the suction in the palm of his hand appeared again, and a sense of comfort that was even greater than before spread all over his body, and at the same time, a voice that made Cheng Ming extremely happy remembered from his mind.

"Absorbable energy is detected, absorption begins, drop-drop-drip energy absorption is completed, and the total energy is replenished by three percent."

Cheng Ming hurriedly looked at his hand, and the mutton fat jade bracelet in his hand had disappeared at this time, leaving only a pinch of fine powder.

Cheng Ming hurriedly closed his eyes and entered his dark space, at this time Chopper's light and shadow had already appeared in the dark space, Cheng Ming asked happily.

"Chopper, are you awake?"

"Yes, master, but you have absorbed too little energy, and now Chopper can only answer some of your questions, but not help you."
