Chapter 293: Inch by Hour

The cold eyes of the priest stared at me, making me shudder.

I secretly prayed in my heart not to offend this guy.

In the entire Valley of the Feeding Gods, there is no spiritual power at all, and the meridians in our bodies seem to be blocked by reinforced concrete.

If the priest were to do something to us, we would have to wait for death.

Fortunately, the priest only hesitated for a few seconds, and then said in a deep voice, "For thousands of years, no one has ever asked about the valuation of the gods."

"According to the rules of this heaven and earth, all items are valuable."

"We have just used our spirit to contact one hundred and fifty-two god-feeding officers, and after we discussed it together, the price for it is one thousand catties of spirit stones."

Hearing the number of 1,000 catties, my heart sank.

Even if the two of us dig hard, we can dig about 20 catties a day at most.

A whole thousand catties of spirit stones have to be dug up to the Year of the Monkey.

But the power in our bodies has dissipated now, and without a suitable means of transportation, even if it takes a year and a half, we can't even think of exploring the entire mining area of the Valley of the Feeding Gods.

With a heavy heart, he returned to his residence without saying a word.

At this moment, a family of three was holding a small spoon, skimming the yellow muddy water into the crockpot, sticking out their tongues and licking them in small bites.

They have sallow skin and dry lips, greedily licking the yellow mud water in the crockpot to moisten their lips and tongue.

After we entered the door, the family of three looked at the water and food in our hands, and their eyes were full of greed that could not be concealed.

The little boy swallowed a mouthful of dry saliva with difficulty, "Brother and sister, can you give me a sip of water to drink?"

Murphy wondered, "Why don't you get more water from the priest, and instead drink this yellow muddy water?"

The man's face was bitter, and he lifted his trouser leg to reveal a large bruise inside.

"At noon today, I found a large number of spirit stones stored behind the rock wall in the valley, so I thought about using a shovel to pry the crumbling rock wall down."

"I didn't expect the spirit stone to be pried off, and my thigh was almost smashed."

"Originally, the two of us had to feed three mouths, and now I'm injured like this, and I can get even less food and water in exchange."

Looking at the pitiful appearance of this family of three, we did not skimp and gave them all the food and water left for tomorrow's breakfast.

When the child sees so much food, his eyes straighten.

He threw himself on the table, rolled his eyes in a choked gulp, and gulped down the water before he could barely get the food down his throat with a satisfied smile.

Murphy whispered, "How long has this family been hungry?"

The woman wiped her mouth, tears glistening in her grateful eyes, "Thank you, you two, we haven't tasted meat in over a year."

"It's just a matter of helping each other, no need to be polite."

We also had a good day's work, and we were sore and in dire need of rest.

It was freezing all night last night, and today there are two thick blankets, enough to withstand the bitter cold.

We tore off the dirty, greasy sheets and bedding on the bed, spread a layer of soft hay, and wrapped the whole body in a blanket, the warmth and comfort that I had not felt for a long time made me start to snooze a little.

Tonight was much colder than yesterday, and the cold wind seeped through the cracks in the roof and windows, and blew cold on my cheeks.

Seeing that I was about to fall asleep, Murphy kicked me out of the covers: "Hey, wake up!"

"How do you get that horse, do you think of a way?"

"I thought of it, but ...... I'm afraid it's a little dangerous."

I yawned and sat up from the bed, "That's a good idea, we don't necessarily have to dig out of the dirt."

"We can dig from the bottom of the valley cliffs in the Valley of the Gods, pry off a layer of soil, and create a widespread landslide."

"The soil smashed down by the landslide is loose, and taking spirit stones from the loose soil will get twice the result with half the effort."

After hearing my approach, Murphy suddenly fell silent.

man

It's because of opportunism that people's legs are smashed like this.

The two of us have no energy in our bodies, which is equivalent to a much stronger ordinary person, and if we are injured, we will also not be able to heal, so we can only wait for us to slowly heal ourselves.

After a long silence, Murphy resolutely said, "Tomorrow morning, I'll dig it!"

"No, I've got an idea, let's sleep."

I was just about to fall asleep when there was a knock on the door twice.

I immediately woke up, "Who!?"

Outside the door, the woman was a little embarrassed, "Two, our family is really cold, can you give us a blanket?"

I hesitated, but handed the blanket out.

When we first came to the area, it was the couple who brought us into the house and told us about the Valley of the Gods.

We should help her, too.

When I handed the blanket over, the woman smiled, "Thank you, you two, the child can sleep warmly now."

Just as I was about to close the door and go to bed, the woman propped up the door with her hand and begged again, "Little brother, there is a place for the child to sleep, my husband's leg is injured, and I want him to sleep warmly."

I held their shabby bedding and handed it over, "You want this?"

The woman smiled awkwardly and did not speak, her eyes falling on the blanket covered by Murphy.

"Ahh

Murphy sneezed and rubbed his nose, his face was red, he should have had a cold.

I handed them their futons, "We're going to sleep, please don't disturb."

The door closed, and I felt a little upset.

This family is a little too greedy.

A blanket, which Murphy and I covered together, was supported by the body temperature of two people, barely freezing from the cold.

The next morning, when we opened our eyes, we were still the same as yesterday, and the two men were curled up in a ball close to each other.

Two people sleep on a blanket, and sure enough, it doesn't work, our hands and feet are cold.

When I work today, I have to change another blanket, and preferably a charcoal stove.

Murphy's face was much better than yesterday.

She stretched, "It's better to be a man, it's hot, and I can't warm up the bed in the middle of the night."

No wonder I felt cold yesterday, and the emotional heat was sucked away by her......

Without early, we had to go to work early.

As I went out, the man stopped me again with a smile, "You two, can I ask you for a favor?"

Murphy was very cheerful, "If we can help, just say it as soon as possible."

The man rubbed his hands together and looked greedily at the nameless sword behind Murphy's back, "My leg is injured, and it's inconvenient to pick up a shovel."

"Can you lend me your tools?"

Murphy was visibly stunned, not knowing how to answer for a while.

At this time, the women and children in the house all looked at us with greedy eyes.

"No." I'll be categorical.
