Chapter 4: The Magical Jade
When Mu Zilei came back with his scarred body, it was already night.
"Grandpa, grandma, mother, I'm back" Mu Zilei shouted forcefully, pushed open the door and walked in.
"Why did you come back so late? Do you know how worried we are about you? Grandpa, they're going to go out to look for you. A gentle voice came, and it was Mu Wan'er who fell in the stone village back then. I saw that her fair face had become slightly yellowed due to the perennial rain, and the hard work of life made the originally slender fingers rough, and a few faintly visible crow's feet climbed on the corners of her eyes, but it can be seen from her still delicate facial features that she must have been a beauty when she was young, and even if she is dressed plainly now, it is still difficult to hide her dignified temperament, and the jade hanging on her neck sets off her beauty and extraordinary.
"Huh, Xiao Lei, are you fighting with the village chief's Xiao Cha again? This time, not only is your face swollen, but you are also bleeding?" Mu Wan'er said, but listening to her tone, she seemed to be surprised by Mu Zilei's injury, as if she was not worried at all.
In Stone Village, it is common for Mu Zilei to be injured and beaten. The natural hunchback and the title of "Disaster Star" not only made the villagers avoid him, but also was often bullied by Shi Chisha and his gang. It's also strange to say, Shi Chisha and they thought they had beaten Mu Zilei lightly every time, but within a day or two, Mu Zilei miraculously recovered quickly and appeared in front of them vigorously, which made the young Shi Chisha more sure that Mu Zilei was the prophesied "disaster star", and they bullied Mu Zilei more and more calmly, and the shots were heavier and heavier every time.
"Needless to say, it must be that little fat man who deliberately picked on our family's Xiao Lei," Shi Lan said, twelve years have passed, her hair has turned gray like Mu Li, but her face is still purple red, and she looks radiant.
"No, I have to find Shi Youdao to settle the score. She said angrily.
"Grandma, I'm not a big ...... Obstruct. Mu Zilei said hurriedly, this time pulling the wound to the corner of his mouth.
"I also said that it was okay, it hurt to even speak! I'll go to Shi Youdao now to see how he disciplined that overlord's son!" As soon as Shi Lan finished speaking, she was about to walk out.
"Stop!" Mu Li said loudly, "Old woman, you are all old, and you are still acting impulsively as before, do you think that if you go like this, Shi Youdao will buy your account? You're just bored with yourself again!"
"Daddy is right, I don't think it's better to leave it at that," she said, untying the thin red rope at the back of her neck and removing the piece of jade that had been worn for years, "and we still have it." ”
Shi Lan looked at Yu Shi for a moment of silence, and finally spit out a sentence: "But I just can't swallow this breath." ”
"You can't swallow this breath, it's not just the old woman," Shi Li said, "But it shouldn't be up to us two old men to interfere, the children's affairs should be solved by them, it just so happens that tomorrow is the registration for the village exam, it is better to let Xiao Lei sign up for the village exam, and knock down the fat boy on the stage." ”
"Old man, the older you get, the more you go?" Shi Lan looked at Mu Li with strange eyes, "You all know that Xiao Lei was born with a half-spirit physique, he can't operate his spiritual power, and he can't even use some of the most basic spiritual fighting skills, how can he be the opponent of the little fat man with the seventh-stage spiritual power of the quasi-spirit person?"
"You are saying this to extinguish your own prestige and help the arrogance of others," Mu Li said, stroking his gray goatee, "I haven't really fought on stage yet, how do you know the result? Maybe you still have a chance to break into the top five and get a place in the Bacon Academy." ”
"Didn't you let Xiao Lei suffer in vain?" Shi Lan blamed, "I knew that it was impossible to win, and I still made a fool of myself." ”
"Since I encourage Xiao Lei to sign up, of course I have my own plans," Mu Li retorted, "If you want Xiao Lei to win, I have a lot of methods." ”
"I don't care what method you do," Shi Lan insisted, "Anyway, I don't agree to let Xiao Lei sign ......up."
The two old men argued like this, and Mu Zilei was already surprised by this, so he had to smile bitterly and shake his head.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?" he suddenly noticed that Mu Wan'er was silently thinking about something.
"It's okay, it's just that every time I hear about the Bacon School, I have an inexplicable familiar feeling, as if I've heard it somewhere, but I just can't remember anything," Mu Wan'er said, "Okay, you take the jade to take a hot bath first, recover your body, and then come out to eat after you change your clothes." ”
Mu Wan'er handed the jade in her hand to Mu Zilei, he took the jade as if he had found a treasure, and walked into the room in a hurry.
In the quiet room, the boy poured a large wooden bucket of hot water, he gently held the drop-shaped blue jade and put it into the water, the jade just fell into the water, and suddenly, it seemed to come to life, not only became crystal clear, but also glowed with a cool blue halo, in which rippled lines appeared, and these lines continued to flow back and forth. After a while, the surface of the water in the barrel rippled in a small circle, and the water gradually turned blue, then dark blue. Even ordinary people could clearly perceive the abundant energy contained in this dark blue liquid at this time.
When the color of the water no longer changed, the boy scooped up the jade and set it aside. Soon, the dark blue liquid gradually emitted faint blue round dots, the blue light the size of a grain of rice, floating around the barrel like fireflies, these blue dots were exactly the same as the ones Mu Li and his wife saw when they first met Mu Wan'er!
The boy rubbed his hands, quickly undressed, and stepped into the barrel with his ** body. At this moment, the light points seemed to be like a spiritual intelligence, wrapping around his entire body, and finally melting into it like snow. As the light entered his body, the boy's already numb pain suddenly surged out strongly again, and a deep sense of exhaustion also spread from his bones. At the same time, there was a strange warm current in the boy's body, which flowed slowly, gradually flowing through every part of his body.
As more and more blue light spots came out of the water, the body of the boy ** gradually disappeared into it. After a while, the multiple scars on the boy's body quickly began to heal at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye, and the bruises on his face slowly faded and disappeared directly.
As the minutes ticked by, the hot water in the barrel gradually cooled down. The dark blue liquid in the barrel slowly turns back to light blue until it becomes colorless.
In the barrel, the boy with his eyes closed sucked the last blue light into his body, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and after a moment, his dark eyes suddenly opened.
In the black pupils, a faint blue light shines, and then it is fleeting. The boy breathed a sigh of relief, stood up abruptly, and let the cold splash fall from his body, and he stretched his waist lazily, as if he had just slept in the most comfortable sleep in the world, and smiled brightly.
Mu Zilei climbed out of the barrel, looked back at the water in the barrel that had returned to normal, and muttered, "The spiritual liquid soaked in this jade is really amazing. "At this time, the jade has returned to normal, and from the outside, it is no different from ordinary jade.
It turned out that this ordinary-looking little jade stone actually had the magical effect of instantly healing wounds. It was also very accidental to discover the miraculous effect of this piece of jade. One day a few years ago, the little Mu Zilei bullied Shi Chisha for the first time and was covered with scars, and when Mu Wan'er was distressed to wash his wounds, the mischievous Mu Zilei inadvertently ripped her jade off her neck, and the jade fell into the water...... Since then, this piece of jade has become a secret magical "healing medicine" for their family.
For the special surname of this drop of jade, Mu Zilei once secretly did experiments with his grandfather Mu Li, and found that as long as there were injured people nearby, touch a certain amount of water with jade, whether it is ordinary water, rainwater, sweat or even blood, it can make it change into spiritual fluid and then emit blue light spots, but unfortunately this blue light point will disappear without a trace in less than a while. For this, Mu Zilei felt very regretful, otherwise with the continuous production of spiritual liquid from jade, he would definitely make a lot of money if he was sold as a special therapeutic medicine.
What made Mu Zilei most depressed was that although this jade could treat all kinds of internal and external injuries, it had no effect on his naturally deformed back and his mother Mu Wan'er's amnesia for twelve years.
