Chapter 5 The Family Comes
"Hahahaha......"
Feeling the surging vitality in his body, Cao Xiu couldn't help but rejoice in his heart.
He looked at the spring at the bottom of the pool, as if he saw the most precious treasure in the world.
The loss of yang qi in his body before was so serious, just a drop of water could make him recover to his original state, and even stronger than his original body, how could this not make him happy.
And he could feel that although the changes in his body had disappeared now, the power of that drop of water of life had not been exhausted, and there was still a lot of vigorous vitality that had been integrated into his flesh and bones, and had precipitated.
These will turn into his potential, enhance his heritage, and maybe even improve his qualifications.
It's just that his cultivation is shallow now, and his knowledge is not very extensive, and he doesn't even know this magical spiritual water, so of course he doesn't know what step he has improved.
However, it can be expected that in the future, the cultivation speed will be much stronger than before, at least before the vitality in the body is exhausted.
After a long time, Cao Xiu suppressed the joy in his heart, and looked at the handful of spring water with bright eyes.
"If this water is good for people, and good for animals, what about other things?"
He looked at a small tree not far away.
The tree was only two feet tall, but its branches were knotted, like a pine that had grown on a deep mountain cliff for thousands of years, and the whole body revealed a sense of vigor and strength.
It's just that the few dozens of leaves on the branches are sparsely scattered, but they are yellow, and they are weakly rooted in the cracks of the rocks, and they look like they may die in a few years.
Cao Xiu was curious, so he got a drop of spring water and put it at the root of the strange tree, which slowly seeped into the soil.
He squatted beside the tree and looked at it for a long time, but he never noticed any obvious changes in the tree, and he was immediately disappointed.
Could it be that this spring is only useful to living creatures?
Aren't plants and trees living creatures?
Although he felt extremely sorry for wasting a drop of spiritual water like this, he was helpless at this point.
Seeing that the time was not early, Cao Xiu did not continue to stay in the space, and flashed out of the space and returned to the outside.
I looked at the sun, and it was almost noon.
And the goat he brought back yesterday actually put his front hooves on the wall, and leaned his neck to nibble on the fallen branches and leaves of the locust tree.
Looking at the energetic goat, Cao Xiu smiled.
Since he knew that the spring water in the cave was so miraculous, he naturally wouldn't waste it at will.
After all, there is only so much spring water in total, and he can't stand the consumption at all, and he can't herd sheep at home, and he doesn't have the energy to say it, and he doesn't want to step on sheep and eggs every day when he goes out.
Therefore, it can only be done once and for all, a pot of stew!
It can not only solve his appetite, but also try to recover his losses, and by the way, Chen Shi can also get some benefits.
He had a good relationship with Chen Shi, but it was impossible for him to tell the other party about the treasure map Dongtian.
It's not so much a question of trust or distrust, but just in case.
The reason why a secret is a secret is because no one else knows!
Once known, it's no secret.
What's more, people's hearts are the most unbearable to test, and he won't take out the spiritual water and give it directly to Chen Shi, otherwise there is no way to explain the origin of this thing, so please treat him to a stewed mutton nourished by spiritual water!
However, just as Cao Xiu was about to sharpen his knife, suddenly there was a banging knock on the door outside.
The voice was very polite, as if he was slamming the door, it was definitely not Chen Shi!
"Who?"
Cao Xiu frowned.
They've never seen anything like this since their family moved here.
"Open the door, it's me, Cao Bao!"
An impatient voice came from outside.
Well? It's him?
Hearing this name, Cao Xiu was slightly stunned.
This is one of his cousins.
It's just that the other party is a descendant of the Cao family, and some people look down on them as a side branch, plus Cao Xiu has left the Cao family with his mother a few years ago, and he has not been in contact with Jiangzhou City for several years, why did he come to the door at this time?
Cao Xiu was a little puzzled.
Still, he got up and opened the door.
Outside the door stood a young man in brocade clothes, who looked to be in his twenties, and his appearance was quite good, but there was a little impatience on his face.
Although he hadn't seen each other for several years, Cao Xiu had grown up in the Cao family for more than ten years after all, so he naturally wouldn't admit his mistake, and he recognized the other party at a glance as his cousin Cao Bao.
There were two people behind him, one was obviously a small guy beside him, and the other was a middle-aged man with a sword at his waist with Kong Wuli, it seemed that he should be the Cao family's guard!
"Why is it so slow?"
Cao Bao complained a little dissatisfied, and then without waiting for Cao Xiu to give in, he directly pushed open another door and walked into the hospital.
He glanced at the ruined courtyard and its shabby furnishings, and finally fixed his eyes on the leaf-eating goat, his eyes showing undisguised disdain.
In his opinion, it is obvious that Cao Xiu's mother and son are not well-off, and they have fallen to the point of raising sheep in the yard, which is no different from those mud legs in the countryside.
"What are you doing here?"
Cao Xiu looked at the other party and asked in an unkind tone.
"Hmph, if the old man hadn't asked me to come to you, you would have been willing to come!"
Cao Bao muttered dissatisfiedly: "Okay, nonsense, what about your brother, quickly call him out to pack up and go back with me?" ”
"Go back? Where to go back? ”
"Of course it's back to my Cao family!"
Cao Bao's tone revealed a bit of arrogance: "The old man knows that you are not doing well now, so he specially asked me to take you back to the family!" ”
"No need!"
Cao Xiu shook his head lightly: "I have already said that since the family has been separated, my family has nothing to do with the Cao family in Qiaocheng." ”
"What did you say?"
Cao Bao was stunned.
He couldn't figure it out, Cao Xiu's family had already had such a hard time, and when he thought that the other party should be ecstatic when he heard the words that the family was willing to take them back, how could he refuse?
How dare you refuse?
You must know that the Cao family in Qiaocheng is very prosperous now, and there is no shortage of power, fame, wealth and status, especially after Cao Long, the genius of this generation, worshiped the Da Luo Sect, the number one faction in Yunzhou, and the family has flourished in recent years.
Now the family is willing to accept these two outcasts of the side lineage, and the other party is not grateful to Dade, even if he is unwilling!
"Do you know what you're talking about?"
"Of course I know what I'm talking about!"
Cao Xiu waved his hand impatiently, and said directly: "Okay, if there is nothing else, you can go!" ”
"You ......"
Cao Bao was furious: "Okay, since you are willing to suffer here, you can do it!" ”
After a while, turn around and leave!
"Humph!"
Cao Xiu looked at their departing figures and couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart.
Pick them up and take them back to the family?
He didn't believe that those old guys in the main vein had such good intentions, maybe he was secretly holding back something bad!
