"do not you?"
Yun Mo was so angry that she couldn't help laughing. She threatened deliberately: "If I were a monster, I would eat you first!"
But the man was not afraid at all. Instead, he answered her seriously, "Wife, if you want to eat me, I am willing to do so."
Yun Mo's heart was slightly moved, but she said with disdain, "I won't eat your hard bones."
Facing the man's black eyes filled with expectation, Yun Mo couldn't help but scold him, "I asked you to ask but you didn't. You kept your imagination to yourself. Tell me the truth. Do you still want to find a Taoist priest to take me in?"
Ling Chuan shook his head like a rattle, "I haven't thought about it that way. I'm just afraid that you will leave me. Isn't it written in the book that humans and demons have different paths?"
God damn, humans and demons have different paths! Yun Mo spread out her palm speechlessly, and as her mind moved slightly, a pea-sized spiritual spring water bead quickly condensed in her palm.
"Look carefully, this is not some kind of witchcraft, but a supernatural ability I acquired when I was a child. You can also regard it as a special ability."
Ling Chuan nodded suddenly, "Wife, can you have as much water as you want? Or is it just this little bit?"
Yun Mo turned around and took a teacup from the table, poured about 20 ml of spiritual spring water into the cup, and then handed the cup to the man.
“You drank it.”
Ling Chuan took the cup and drank the water in it without saying a word, without worrying at all whether there was anything wrong with the water.
As the spiritual spring water flows into the throat, it feels like a stream of clear spring water cleansing every pore, the body becomes light, and there is a sense of comfort and relaxation as if one is in the mountains in the early morning.
"Wife, this water..."
"I believe you can sense that this is not ordinary water, but spring water with magical effects. I call it spiritual spring water. Drinking it for a long time can prolong life and eliminate physical pain.
I also add this spiritual spring water to the water we drink from the well, so the food we cook tastes better than outside. Lingchuan, have you ever noticed that we have never been sick even though we live so far away from the courtyard? The chilblains on your hands and ears healed so quickly before, in fact, it was not the folk remedies I found that worked, but the effect of the spiritual spring water. "
Ling Chuan stared at the cup, a trace of regret on his face, "This spiritual spring water is so magical, I shouldn't have finished drinking it just now."
"It's okay, just drink it. You haven't had enough rest these days, so just think of it as replenishing your body. After it's used up, it will condense again after a while."
Ling Chuan suddenly thought of something, "Wife, will condensing this spiritual spring water have a bad effect on your body?"
"So far, I haven't found anything. In fact, the last time Dr. Jian came to me, he wanted to ask for this water, and I gave it to him. Because of this, he owed me a favor, so he will do his best to help you. Don't be jealous of Dr. Jian in the future."
Ling Chuan's face turned red. "Wife, I was wrong. I didn't know he was repaying you for your kindness. I thought..."
"What for?"
Of course he thought Jian Xun had some feelings for his wife, but he didn't dare to say it.
"Wife, how did Mr. Jian know that you have spiritual spring water?"
Yun Mo briefly recounted the story of Jian Xun hypnotizing Li Li and Zhu Hongping, "I didn't expect that Doctor Jian's awareness was so sharp. I just dropped a few drops of spiritual spring water into the cup, and he noticed something was wrong after drinking it.
It was my negligence, but if we can develop health care products that are beneficial to humans based on the spiritual spring water, it would be a good thing.”
Ling Chuan couldn't help but feel worried, "But, wife, what if everyone knows that you have such magical spiritual spring water and they all come to your house?"
"So far, only you and Doctor Jian know about the existence of the spiritual spring water. Moreover, Doctor Jian does not know the origin of the spiritual spring water. Lingchuan, only you know the secrets of me."
Ling Chuan's heart suddenly surged with great joy and satisfaction, and his stern face was full of seriousness, "Wife, I will keep your secret until I die."
"I trust you."
It was already midnight, but Ling Chuan was lying in bed unable to sleep.
The daughter-in-law only told the secret to him and said she believed him.
This feeling made him more excited and satisfied than the 5,000 yuan he made from reselling electronic watches.
Yun Mo was actually not as calm as she appeared, tossing and turning on the bed like a fried egg.
Telling Lingchuan the secret of the spiritual spring water was not an impulse, but the result of careful consideration.
Although Jian Xun promised to keep the secret for her, the truth would eventually come out.
She had a hunch that with the powerful effects of the spiritual spring water, the relevant departments would come to her sooner or later.
In her previous life, she carefully guarded the secret of the Lingquan space and did not even dare to tell her parents for fear of causing trouble. But in the end, she died young and came here unexpectedly.
In this life, she doesn't want to be like in her last life, keeping a secret and doing nothing until she dies of old age.
She thought that since God had given her blessings that others did not have and also gave her the opportunity to live again, instead of shrinking back, she might as well let go and live happily, and do something meaningful with what she had.
Even if I can't escape death in the end, at least I have no regrets.
After a few days of clearance sales, the last cotton coat in the store was sold out, leaving only a few cotton trousers and padded jackets.
There were too few goods and there was no point in continuing to open the store, so Ling Chuan decided to close the store and take the remaining goods to a stall at the entrance of the clothing market.
In this way, the manpower is more concentrated and everyone can take turns to take vacations.
The day that was Ling Chuan's turn to take a day off happened to be Saturday. After breakfast, the couple changed their clothes and took Ling Chunhua out.
It's not that I'm going shopping, but that I'm going to the post office to pick up a package.
There are a lot of people on weekends, and there are long queues outside the post office, waiting to withdraw money and packages.
It is already the twelfth lunar month, and the weather is freezing cold. Even though the sun is out, it still can't keep away the chill.
After standing for a while, Yun Mo's nose tip and cheeks turned pink due to the cold.
Ling Chuan felt distressed when he saw this, so he took off the scarf from her neck, wrapped it around her nose and chin, and then put the hood of his down jacket tightly on her head.
"Still cold?"
Yun Mo blinked her moist almond-shaped eyes and said, "I'm wrapped up like this. My mom probably won't recognize me when she comes."
Ling Chuan curved his thin lips, "As long as I can recognize it."
Yun Mo turned her head and happened to see the smiling face of her niece Ling Chunhua, and her face couldn't help but feel slightly hot.
She rubbed her niece's head which was covered with a woolen hat and said, "Why are you grinning like an idiot?"
Ling Chunhua grinned, "Uncle is so good to Auntie."
Yun Mo burst out laughing.
She laughed not because of what Ling Chunhua said, but because of the fact that Ling Chunhua had a missing front tooth.
The story goes back to two days ago, when she was on her way to pick up Ling Chunhua from school and met a porter selling malt sugar.
The milky white malt sugar was covered with roasted brown sesame seeds. The porter was knocking on it with iron sheets in his hands, making a "ding-dong-dong" sound. Not to mention Ling Chunhua, even she felt greedy when she saw it.
So she weighed out two small pieces, and she and Ling Chunhua ate one each and took the bus home.
That's how Ling Chunhua's front teeth were eaten away.
