Chapter 22: The Jade Shop
In the early morning, the bright sunlight poured into the window of the room, giving a very warm feeling.
At this time, Cheng Ming and Lao Dao had changed from squatting before to sitting against the wall, although the black eyes showed that the two had not slept all night, but the excitement on their faces also showed the excitement of the two at this time.
"Grandma~"
A terrible cry came from the next room, the two stopped the discussion, a trace of unbearable and sad appeared on their faces, and hurriedly got up and walked to the next room, and the two little ones were also awakened by this cry, and rolled out of bed and followed behind the two.
In the room, Shen Min lay in front of the old man's bed and cried bitterly, ignoring the few people who came in. Lao Dao didn't speak, but walked straight to the bed, gently pulled the quilt upward, and covered the old man's head.
Cheng Ming, on the other hand, walked up to Shen Min, gently took her into his arms, and patted her on the back.
"The deceased is gone, the living are like this, Shen Min, the old man is walking very peacefully, she is going to enjoy happiness, you have to be happy for her."
Lao Dao sighed and said softly to Shen Min.
Sadness is always contagious, at this time, everyone in the room was silent in sadness, and after a long time, Shen Min finally stopped crying, left Cheng Ming's arms, and said softly: "Thank you." ”
got up and walked out of the room, Cheng Ming was stunned for a while, he didn't know what Shen Min was going to do, he was afraid that she wouldn't be able to think about it, so he hurriedly chased him out, but just as he was about to walk to the door of the room, Shen Min walked in again, but with an extra shovel in his hand.
"Brother Cheng, can you please help me dig a grave for my grandmother, I want to bury my grandmother well."
Cheng Ming was also in a bad mood at this time, so he didn't say much, took the shovel, asked where Shen Min was going to bury her grandmother, and took Lin Fan and Lao Dao out to dig the grave, while Shen Min and Ke'er stayed in the room to scrub the old man's body.
Several people worked hard for a morning, before the old man was buried, after the burial Lao Dao also specially recited the "Sutra of Salvation" for the old man for a long time in front of the grave, according to Lao Dao, this can surpass the soul of the dead, so that it can rest in peace as soon as possible.
After burying the old man, the few people went back to the room, and after eating something, they sat down to discuss their future plans.
"Shen Min, you come with us, we are going to the capital, where there are still surviving humans and troops."
Cheng Ming saw that Shen Min had not recovered from the grief of the old man's death, and asked cautiously.
"Okay."
Shen Min just expressed his attitude and fell silent again, the atmosphere in the whole room was a little depressed at this time, Cheng Ming and Lao Dao looked at each other and didn't know what to say.
After a long while, it was Shen Min who spoke first.
"I'll pack up my things, distribute the food, and we'll try to take as many as we can on the road." After speaking, he got up to clean up his things, Ke'er hurriedly said: "Sister, my dad is him~"
Before Ke'er finished speaking, he was stopped by Cheng Ming with his eyes, and Ke'er was bound to say something about Cheng Ming's dark space. He and Lao Dao didn't hide this from the two children, but Shen Min had only been in contact with them for a day after all, and it was better to have reservations about some things.
"What's wrong with your dad?" Shen Min didn't see Cheng Ming's expression, but he was very strange about Ke'er's words.
"My dad has a lot of strength and can carry more." Lin Fan saw that Ke'er didn't know how to answer, so he hurriedly said.
Although these words kept Cheng Ming's secret, they also made Cheng Ming's forehead hang down a few black lines.
"Yes~ Yes, I have a lot of strength, I can take more."
Cheng Ming was angry in his heart, this is a typical pit father.
Lao Dao was amused when he saw Cheng Ming like that, but he hurriedly diverted the topic in order not to let too many people know the secret.
"Miss Shen Min, you've lived here for a while, do you know if there is a jade shop here?"
Sure enough, this question attracted Shen Min, who was still a little confused.
"It seems that there is a family, just over that street, it seems to be quite big, real person, why are you asking this?"
"Oh, it's nothing, I've always liked jade and other things in my life, although it's useless now, but I still want to see if there are any good things left."
"Oh, that's it, then you go and see, it's going to take a while to pack up your things, it's afternoon, and I guess I won't be able to leave today, let's set off tomorrow morning." As he spoke, he led Lao Dao to the window and pointed out the direction to Lao Dao.
Lao Dao determined the location of the store, and left with Cheng Ming, they did not take the two little guys, but let the two stay in the hotel to help Shen Min.
Walking on the road, Cheng Ming asked Lao Dao.
"Real person, do you want to find jade jade that can replenish energy?"
Lao Dao nodded and said.
"This is a small city, and it is estimated that there is no high-grade jade, but in the same way, we can also test whether low-quality jade jadeite can replenish energy, but it is strange to say, why didn't I absorb the energy in it when I held the jadeite yesterday?"
Cheng Ming, who asked this, was also stunned, yes, why didn't Lao Dao absorb energy when he held the jadeite? They really didn't pay attention to this situation last night.
"Maybe it's a real person, your intelligent assistance is not short of energy, and you haven't used it anyway."
The corners of Lao Dao's mouth twitched when Cheng Ming said, thinking of his intelligent assistance, and there was a sigh in his heart, not that he didn't need it, but he didn't know how to use it.
Not far from their hotel, a few minutes away, the jade shop was a large one, but it was already in tatters, with the door and counter smashed with shards of glass, and the floor covered with dusty jade ornaments and gold and silver jewelry.
As soon as the two entered the store, they began to collect the jade jade scattered in the store, and then Cheng Ming tried one by one, but after trying for an afternoon, none of them had absorbable energy.
Cheng Ming sat on the ground, leaning against the tattered counter for a moment of frustration.
"These are all profiteers, you look at a price target that is so high, but they are all useless broken stones, deceiving people."
Lao Dao also said helplessly: "It's not a lie, there are still a lot of real jade, but they are all too low-grade jade, maybe these low-grade jade don't contain the energy we need." ”
After speaking, he also sat down and leaned towards the counter behind, but Lao Dao leaned on it like this, and the already tattered counter behind him was completely shattered, and Lao Dao didn't prevent it, and the whole person leaned into the counter.
Cheng Ming saw Lao Dao fall into the counter, and hurriedly got up to help Lao Dao, and teased in his mouth.
"Real person, you are really powerful, did you practice Bajiquan when you were young, this definitely has the essence of relying on the mountain."
Lao Dao was helped up by Cheng Ming, and with his right hand back, he wanted to stand up, and scolded in his mouth: "You kid, get out of the way, you will know whether it is okay to ridicule my old man in one day." ”
However, just when Lao Dao's right hand propped up to the counter and was about to stand up, he retracted again, but there was an extra box the size of an adult's palm in his hand. Lao Dao looked at the box in his hand strangely and said.
"What is this?"
