Chapter 74 Suddenly Red Eyes
A quarter of an hour usually passes in the blink of an eye.
Today seems particularly long.
The Su family gathered in the yard next door, guarding the door of the pharmacy. As time passed, the anxiety and discomfort in their hearts became more and more intense.
The three kids already knew how serious the situation was. They were afraid that crying and making a fuss would disturb their grandfather's detoxification efforts, so they snuggled up at their parents' feet without saying a word, even breathing as lightly as possible.
Tianbao was held in grandma's arms, very quiet, with no expression on his little face as usual, except for his clear eyes, which were staring at the closed wooden door.
A moment.
The intermittent sounds of medicine preparation in the room suddenly stopped, and there was an abrupt clang.
The pestle fell to the ground, and the sound of it rolling on the ground could be clearly heard.
Everyone outside the door felt a chill in their hearts, and all their eyes were focused on the wooden door. For a moment, no one dared to go forward and push the door to check.
After a while, a strange laugh was heard.
"Good people don't live long, but evil deeds last for thousands of years! I told you, there's no way I could be short-lived!"
The wooden door suddenly opened from the inside, and the old man's face, still black and ugly, appeared behind the door. He put his hands on his hips and looked up at the sky with a sneer, "If I don't die, someone else will be unlucky! When my face heals, that dogecoin will die!"
Everyone: “…”
Duan Dao walked away, cold and heartless.
The Su family also left in a grand procession, carrying their children. As they left, they whispered to each other, "You just walked out of the gates of hell and you want to die again. You think your life is too long."
"Isn't it? Okay, go home and cook. Make some delicious food for Du Lao these days. Let him enjoy it before he dies."
"Let's do it this way. The next time Du Lao goes out, it might be the last time we see each other, alas."
Du Buqin's heroic spirit was cut in half, and he glared at everyone's backs, "Hey? Hey? You're just leaving like that? You don't care about me? The remaining poison in my body hasn't been cleared yet!"
What answered him was the indifferent backs of the crowd.
“…” Du Buqin withdrew his dazed gaze and touched the back of his head.
This reaction is wrong.
When did all the Su family members grow bear bile?
After a moment, the old man laughed strangely again, his eyes shining brightly.
What Duan Dao said is right, absolutely right.
The Su family's master had a complete range of medicinal herbs. Not only were they complete, but they were also fresh.
Based on his experience, he estimated that the herbs in the other party's hands were probably more complete than those of all the people in Fengyun City combined.
It's a perfect partner prepared just for him!
After the toxins were cleared, he walked carefully around the nearby hills to see where the master had planted those herbs!
No, that's not right!
Du Buqun's eyes narrowed suddenly, and he cursed softly, "Damn it! Bai Xiaofeng almost poisoned my brain!"
At that time, in the main hall of the Su family, he told the herbs he needed, and the next moment Xiao Tianbao picked out those herbs.
How long had passed? Just a few breaths, a split second!
Can you dig fresh herbs from the ground and put them at his feet in an instant?
Even if the herbs were planted directly under his feet, it would still take some effort to pull them out and find them!
This method of saying it now—
"...Fuck, Tianbao is a monster, is her master a god?!"
Duandao, who was leaning against the gate with a knife in his arms, stumbled and almost fell to the ground when he heard this.
He rubbed his eyebrows.
The fact that such a person with a pig brain can survive until now is probably because he is too stupid and the King of Hell is unwilling to accept him.
…
The Su family's breakfast today was rather light.
Su Xiuer cooked an extra pot of yam porridge with rice and sprinkled some dried minced meat to enhance the flavor.
While cooking, the family discovered that there were some extra things in the kitchen: yam and eggs.
Needless to say, you know what's going on.
The poison has been almost eliminated and I have the strength to walk. When the time comes, I come here with a swagger, smelling the fragrance.
He sat on a small stool in the kitchen, holding the yam porridge that Su Xiu'er had served him and eating while picking at it, "Not enough salt, even less meat, it's so bland and tasteless! Xiu'er, give me some meat! Are you deliberately withholding my food because I'm injured?"
The usually soft-spoken young woman refused to indulge him this time. "When you're injured, you need to eat light food. Rich meat and fish may taste good, but they're not good for your health. When you're fully recovered, you can think about eating meat again."
Du Buou was about to throw a tantrum when he glared at her, but when he looked up, he saw the little woman taking a piece of dry bread from the pot and chewing it with cold water.
Not only her, but others as well.
Today's breakfast was slightly richer except for his pot of porridge, while everyone else had only vegetarian bread and cold water.
The kids just had an extra boiled egg, but not one of them complained.
"Cough." Du Buqin lowered his head and sipped the yam porridge. The temperature was just right and the cooking time was perfect. It was soft and smooth when it went into his throat, making him feel comfortable.
The people in the Su family knew that he couldn't eat big fish and meat, so they accompanied him to eat simple vegetarian food.
Lest he get greedy.
No one had cared about him for decades, and now he was suddenly cared about. He couldn't describe how he felt.
But in the rare silence, somewhere in my heart suddenly felt warm.
He quickly put this feeling behind him. After breakfast, the Su family members went about their business, and Du Buwei's eyes were fixed on Xiao Tianbao.
Like a dog staring at a bone, his eyes glowed green.
"Tianbao, look at what this is?" Du Buqin snatched Tianbao from the Su family and immediately took out the seven-star begonia he had gotten and presented it to Tianbao, smiling so hard that his teeth were showing. "Seven-star begonia! You like it! Grandpa Du almost lost his life to get this. Just tell me if Grandpa Du is good to you!"
Tianbao took the Seven-Star Begonia, without looking at it for long, staring at the old man with clear eyes.
Wait for him to say next.
"Grandpa Du is good to you, shouldn't you be nicer to him too? There's a saying in this world that goes, 'Reciprocity is the key,' don't you understand?" Du Buqin looked around, then realized that he couldn't possibly see the gods, so he gave up and continued to tempt Little Tianbao, "Tell Grandpa Du how many good things your master has. I'm not greedy, but this time I got ambushed and attacked. It's so embarrassing! I have to redeem myself no matter what! Tianbao, Little Tianbao, hey, help Grandpa get some more herbs?"
"Ah." Tianbao nodded, and Du Buqin's mouth was grinning from ear to ear.
"Are there any stone chestnuts? Or jacaranda? Or agarwood? Or hanami?..."
Du Buqin listed more than ten kinds of medicinal herbs in one breath, all of which he could not collect. After he finished speaking, he stared at the baby with burning eyes.
Tian Bao looked at him quietly for a moment, then took a large handful of food from her bosom. She couldn't hold it all, and a lot of it fell to the ground. "Here."
Du Butou's expression froze, "..."
This is not the end yet.
Xiao Tianbao stuffed the herbs into his collar and continued to take them out from his own arms.
Ginseng, snow lotus, ganoderma lucidum, rehmannia root.
Then the child grabbed his collar with his little hands.
She said, "Bao, yes."
"Yeah," she patted her chest, "Here!"
She said, "Don't die, live forever."
At that time, he was standing in the Su family's simple courtyard, holding the baby.
As the sun gradually rose in the morning, the sunlight gradually dispelled the shadows in the yard.
It is hot in July, but the coolness of the morning breeze cannot dispel the heat of the sun.
Du Buchun stared at the baby in his arms, and suddenly his eyes turned red.
Is he really stupid?
no.
He just didn't want to become an outsider after discovering the secret.
You have to be wary of outsiders who are far away and fearful.
