Chapter 179: Is Kindness Wrong? (2)
After the old woman left, there was no expression on her face, but she was very happy in her heart.
Because she stole two bags of mustard seeds, begged for two or three days, and finally got a harvest.
She did not rush to open the mustard seed bag, but leaned over and slowly came to a dilapidated house, where the wood on which the house was built showed signs of decay, the beams of the house began to mold, and there were several small holes in the roof, through which the sunlight shone in, dispelling the haze and dampness in the room.
This ruined house is the old woman's home.
"Mother-in-law is back!"
A five-year-old child, dressed in tattered clothes and a gray face, rushed out of the room and walked happily towards the old woman.
The old woman smiled happily, touched the child's head dotingly, and said, "Second child, bring out the third and fourth children, mother-in-law has good things for you today." ”
"Hmm. The child, named Er, happily ran into the room and brought out a blind seven-year-old boy, and then a four-year-old girl with her legs broken.
"Mother-in-law, you must have gained a lot today. "The blind boy was the oldest, and although he could not see, his sense of smell was the most acute, and he smelled the peculiar smell of the mustard seed bag.
"The third child's nose is really smart, my mother-in-law begged for two mustard seed bags this time, there must be a lot of treasures in them. The old woman smiled kindly.
"Mother-in-law, open it up and take a look. The girl with the broken leg was lying on the back of the second child, and her bony eyes were full of curiosity.
"Good. The old woman first opened Silly Qiang's mustard seed bag, and Silly Qiang's mustard seed bag only contained a change of clothes and a purple gold gourd.
"Mother-in-law, this gourd is so beautiful, can you play with it for me?"
"Take it if you like. The old woman gave the purple gourd to the second child, and the second child took it happily, very happy.
Finding nothing of value in the silly mustard seed bag, the old woman continued her search and began to look for the treasure in Qianyu's mustard seed bag.
The old woman first grabbed a large handful of gold coins, and kept grabbing them, at least in the thousands.
"Mother-in-law, we have made a fortune!" The second, third and fourth children were very happy, they had never seen so many gold coins.
The old woman was also very happy, but she also felt a little guilty in her heart, after all, she stole it, and the young man must be very sad if he lost such a large amount of money, right?
After hesitating for a moment, the old woman looked at the smiles on the faces of several children, and her heart hardened again, she also did this to survive, hoping that the young man would forgive her.
Then, the old woman found all kinds of herbs, although she did not know the specific origin of these herbs, but she had a hunch in her heart that these herbs were definitely not mortal, and if they were sold, they would definitely have a good price.
"I'm really going to make a fortune this time!" the old woman said excitedly, her hands were shaking, "Children, our hard days are finally coming to an end!"
The old woman continued to search for treasures in the mustard seed bag, and she found several ancient books and several quaint yellowed scrolls, whose names were unpredictable. What is it called, Taiyi Secret Record, five years of college entrance examination, three years of simulation, alchemy, sealing the six seals of immortals, the content recorded in it is something she can't understand.
Throwing these scrolls and ancient books aside, the old woman found five vials of purple viscous liquid, five small vials of medicine, these liquids were like water but not water, they could flow, and they could also bloom with purple light, especially dazzling in the sun.
"Mother-in-law, what is this? Can I drink it?" the fourth licked his lips, "I'm a little thirsty." ”
"I don't know, I'll try first. The old woman opened a medicine bottle in surprise, and when the cap was lifted, a refreshing fragrance spread, and the three children were immersed in this fragrance, and couldn't help but exclaim: "What a fragrance!"
"yes, I'll take a sip first and see how it tastes. The old woman took a small sip, the purple liquid was warm in the mouth, tasteless, and she didn't feel anything after drinking it.
"Strangely, this thing looks special, but it tastes like water. The old woman thought it was strange.
"Mother-in-law, give me a taste!"
"Mother-in-law, I want it too!"
"I want to drink it too!"
The three children all wanted to try it, so the second child took a sip first, although the third child could not see, but he could smell the rich fragrance, he also took a sip, the fourth child because of thirst, drank the most, drank the remaining liquid in the bottle, and said unsatisfied: "The taste is very light, but it is really too fragrant." ”
"It doesn't matter, there are four more bottles here, one for each of you, you can drink whatever you want. The old woman didn't know what the bottle contained, and if she knew, she would have given her a thousand dares, and she would never dare to touch it at all.
"Mother-in-law, I'...... I'm so hot...... Ahh
The old woman and the second and third were stunned.
"Fourth!" the old woman seemed to have lost her soul, and her whole person was stunned.
"Mother-in-law, I'm so hot too...... Ahh
Before the old woman could be surprised, she felt an unusually terrifying heat stirring in her abdomen, and although the second child did not speak, the beads of sweat on his face and his hot cheeks showed that he was going through the same experience.
"Second, how do you feel?" The old woman realized that something was wrong, and the third and fourth suddenly turned into ashes, which was definitely related to the purple liquid in the bottle!
"Mother-in-law, I'm so hot, so hot...... I felt like I was on fire...... Ah!" The second child was burned all over his body, but he did not directly turn into ashes, the purple flames wrapped him, but continued to burn his body, so painful that he hugged his head and screamed, rolling on the ground, but he did not die.
"Second child, mother-in-law is here to save you!Water, I'll go find water immediately!" The old woman was trying to find water to extinguish the fire, but she was also trapped by the purple fire, and her rickety body was scorched by the flames, and suddenly she felt that the world was spinning, and the heart-rending pain engulfed her, and she fell down weakly.
Qianyu and Silly Qiang heard the screams coming from here, and happened to come here, and found the old woman who had fallen to the ground and the second child who had been screaming.
"They drank the thousand-year-old dragon milk?" Qianyu discovered the void at a glance, and there was both surprise and anger in his eyes.
"Boss, this kid can't hold it anymore, save him! And the old woman, she seems to have fainted. Silly Qiang immediately walked to the second child's side, and then to the old woman's side, to check their situation.
"No, it's all the old woman's own fault!" Qianyu walked away indifferently, without looking at the old woman and the child, and while no one had arrived here, he hurriedly put away the remaining four bottles of thousand-year-old dragon milk, and then picked up the scrolls and ancient books that had been thrown aside, and then various medicinal herbs.
As for the thousands of gold coins, he didn't have much interest, so he took a little casually, and then turned around and left: "Silly Qiang, put away your mustard seed bag, let's go." ”
"Boss, aren't you going to save them?"
"Who asked her to deceive us, she deserves it!" As soon as he saw the old woman, Qianyu was angry, and the person he hated the most was a liar.
The old woman took advantage of Silly Qiang's kindness, and then took the opportunity to steal Silly Qiang's mustard seed bag, and then took advantage of his soft-hearted heart to steal his mustard seed bag as well, and the old woman's approach made him feel cold.
"Boss, if you don't save them, they're going to die!"
"Die and die, it's none of me. Qianyu was extremely indifferent.
"Boss!" begged Silly Qiang, "Do you really want to die without help?"
"Silly Qiang, are you stupid? You know that this old woman has deceived you, why do you still think about saving her? We are kind to her, and if she doesn't repay the favor, forget it, and take the opportunity to steal our mustard seed bag. That's the kind of person I hate the most. No matter what you say, I won't save her. Qianyu categorically refused, and then walked away indifferently.
"Boss!"
Silly Qiang knelt down for Qianyu.
Qianyu immediately turned his head and frowned, "Silly Qiang, what are you doing?"
"Boss, I beg you to save them, they are also poor people, I believe that old woman, she must have her own troubles in doing this. ”
"Silly Qiang, you get up and speak first. Qianyu helped Silly Qiang to get up.
"If the boss doesn't promise me, I won't get up. ”
Qianyu sighed, nodded helplessly, and said, "I'll try it, but my ugly words are ahead, their mother-in-law and grandson are so bold that they actually drank the thousand-year-old dragon milk privately, and it is a miracle that they can survive until now." Even if I helped, it wouldn't necessarily save the lives of both of them. ”
At the beginning, it took Qianyu more than nine months to absorb only five drops of the thousand-year-old dragon milk, and it was with the help of the evil dragon that he completely absorbed the power contained in the dragon milk. In front of them, the mother-in-law and grandson drank a total of one bottle without knowing it, and it was already a miracle that they could survive.
"As long as the boss is willing to help, they can still be saved. "Silly Qiang believes in Qianyu very much.
