Chapter 4 Grandpa sells his life for treasure, and the second uncle and two aunts bully orphaned nephews
In the small mud house, the brazier burns vigorously, and the illuminated room is warm.
A man and a woman sat around the stove knocking melon seeds, and a little boy was holding a piece of sweet potato and nibbling. The bed on the side was turned over and the quilt was thrown to the floor.
"I really didn't expect that the old man was able to contact the immortals and exchange them for treasures. I'm still trying to kill him. The woman muttered.
"I didn't expect it, but that treasure was given to Xiao Hao by my father." The middle-aged man said hesitantly.
"The old things are dead, and we will give them to whomever we say, and whoever eats the treasure will become an immortal. What qualifications does Qi Hao's little beast have, it belongs to my son, don't be confused. ”
"I want to eat treasures, I want to become an immortal." The little boy shouted.
"The treasure belongs to the baby, and no one can take it away." The woman held the little boy in her arms and said sharply, "Qi Hao hasn't come back until now, can't he have left with the treasure a long time ago?" ”
"No, my father only got the treasure today, and he can't give it to Xiao Hao in advance, he must still be at home." The man's firm words seemed to have made some kind of decision.
"Where can I hide it? Hey, there was movement outside, and Qi Hao was back. The woman looked out the window.
In the courtyard, Qi Hao cleaned up the snowflakes on his body and smiled happily.
"I stewed chicken soup for my grandfather to drink, and my grandfather's wind chill will get better soon. After I became an immortal, my grandfather no longer had to starve and freeze, and he no longer had to go up the mountain to chop wood. I told my grandfather the news, and he would be happy. ”
With full anticipation, Qi Hao pushed open the wooden door and ran in.
But in the room, there is no grandfather, only two uncles and two aunts, and a mess.
"Second uncle and second aunt, why are you here? What about Grandpa? Qi Hao looked at the two of them vigilantly, and instinctively took a few steps back.
In his memory, the second uncle and aunt never came to the door. Last year, a corner of the house collapsed, and he and his grandfather were busy for several days to repair it.
"Qi Hao, your grandfather is dead." The woman said nonchalantly.
His eyes kept looking at the two pheasants.
"Grandpa is dead? No, grandpa's wind chill has improved a lot, and he has taken medicine, how can he die? Qi Hao was like being struck by lightning and muttered.
Tears flowed uncontrollably.
"So the old thing didn't tell you? Did he give you anything? The woman asked.
"Xiao Hao, your grandfather is old, you don't have to be sad. It's just that grandpa gave you anything when he was alive? You take it out and give it to me and your second aunt. The man chimed in.
Qi Hao didn't respond, but the tears flowed faster.
The words of the two made him have to believe that his grandfather was really dead.
"Qi Hao, your second uncle is your grandfather's only son. Your grandfather died, and everything he left behind belonged to your second uncle. The house, the field, and everything in this house are ours. The woman shrieked.
"Bastard, give me back the treasure, give me back the treasure."
The little boy came to Qi Hao and kept smashing his fist on Qi Hao's chest.
"Qi Hao, you're not going to snatch things with your brother, are you? In this way, as long as you take out the treasures, we will not care about the food you have eaten over the years. All that food should have been ours. The woman said viciously.
"Yes, you have eaten our food, and you owe us." The little boy continued to beat Qi Hao.
Qi Hao didn't dodge, as if he couldn't feel the pain at all.
All he knew was that his grandfather was gone, and he lost his last loved one and became an orphan.
No one covers him at night, and no one cares if he has a full stomach...
"Xiao Hao, didn't you hear your second aunt's words? Hurry up and take out the treasure. The man scolded.
Qi Hao raised his head, looked at the second uncle, and asked, "Second uncle, grandpa is your father, don't you care at all?" ”
"Xiao Hao, you actually questioned who taught you the rules when your second uncle came. What's more, grandpa died for my family. You don't want grandpa to die. The man reprimanded.
It was my fault? Qi Hao's gaze dimmed.
Yes, if I hadn't told my grandfather yesterday that I wanted to become an immortal, maybe my grandfather wouldn't have died...
As for the treasure, he hadn't seen it, but he was sure it was in the broken box under the bed.
It was bought by his grandfather with his life, and he should cherish it, but he didn't want it.
He wanted to use the treasure to exchange his grandfather back.
Even if his grandfather is dead, he will bring his grandfather's body back and let him be buried in the ground.
Qi Hao raised his head, stared at the two people, and said solemnly: "The fields and properties at home can be given to you, I don't want anything." But you have to tell me where Grandpa is, I'm going to look for him. ”
"Negotiate terms with us? Qi Hao, who do you think you are? To tell you the truth, the old lady has sold you to Chenjiazhuang, and tomorrow they will come to the door to collect people. You'd better be honest, or you won't have your good fruit to eat. The woman said viciously.
"I see." Qi Hao said without joy or sorrow.
He was not surprised that the second uncle and aunt would sell him and make him a slave to someone else. I just didn't expect that I would be so impatient and unwilling to wait for a day.
"Hand over the things, and don't force us to do anything to you." The woman said irritably.
If it weren't for the fear of hurting Qi Hao and not being able to sell it for a good price, she would have done it a long time ago, so that she wouldn't waste her tongue.
"It's not on me, and you can't find it. I can give it to you, baby, but you're going to tell me where grandpa went. Otherwise, even if you kill me today, you won't want to get the baby. Qi Hao said categorically.
"You dare!" The woman was furious, rolled up her sleeves and was about to move.
Qi Hao stood still and didn't say a word, just looked at the woman quietly.
"Forget it, since he wants to go, let him go. Hurry up and get the treasure in your hands, it's the most important thing. ”
The man dissuaded the woman and said to Qi Hao, "Listen to that immortal, he lives on the Black Tiger Mountain. If you want to find it, go there and find it. ”
Black Tiger Mountain? Qi Hao had heard of this name, and it was not very far from the village, and it could be reached by crossing a few mountains.
According to legend, there is a black tiger demon living on Black Tiger Mountain, who likes to eat people, so the people in the village never go to that mountain.
Grandpa also told Qi Hao countless times not to enter the Black Tiger Mountain.
"Could it be that grandpa strayed into the Black Tiger Mountain back then, and only then did he know that immortal. No, exchanging life for treasure, it shouldn't be an immortal, but a monster, and the rumors may be true. ”
Thinking of this, Qi Hao became more and more worried, if it was really a monster, wouldn't the grandfather have no bones?
He just wanted to fly to Black Tiger Mountain immediately.
