He had never had such a sound sleep in his entire life, not to mention feeling so refreshed after waking up, as if he were ten years younger!
Wang Guifen was even more excited: "That's right, this fragrance is too weird! But... I slept so comfortably! My old waist and legs are not sore at all today!"
Yu Dongshun and his wife also had an expression of disbelief on their faces, feeling an unprecedented sense of relief in their bodies.
Only the two brothers Yu Peng and Yu Xiang exchanged meaningful glances after their initial surprise.
They are young and exposed to many new things, so they are not as likely as the older generation to attribute everything to "evil" or "divine presence".
The subtle and elegant fragrance last night, and the identical strange feeling the whole family had after waking up, made them keenly aware that this fragrance was definitely not simple!
"Dad, Mom, Grandpa, Grandma, don't you think this is a bit strange?" Yu Peng stared at the burnt incense ash on the corner of the table.
Yu Xiang was more direct. He silently took out his phone and began to tap the screen rapidly. "I'll check online to see if there are any similar spices."
They open various shopping apps, social platforms, and even some niche forums, trying to catch some clues from the massive amount of online information.
The keywords changed from "calming incense", "sleep aid", "refreshing" to "special spices", "high-end incense sticks", but the search results were very few. Even if there were, they were all ordinary goods, far from the magical effects they experienced last night.
Just when they were about to give up, Yu Peng paused, his finger resting on a "grass planting" APP with a fancy interface filled with all kinds of luxury goods sharing.
A post with pictures and text caught his attention. The title read: "Salvation for insomniacs! My bestie snatched this mysterious oriental incense stick from an overseas auction. One stick will keep you alive!"
The picture in the post shows a thin dark red incense stick that is very similar to the one given by Yu Bai. It is inserted in an exquisite purple clay incense burner, and various jewellery that are obviously worth a lot of money are placed next to it as embellishments.
There is a sense of "inadvertent" boasting between the lines of the sharer's words, saying that after lighting this incense, people can quickly fall into deep sleep, and wake up full of energy, as if they have been reborn.
What scared Yu Peng and Yu Xiang the most was a highly-rated comment in the comments section: "I know this! The same model as Rich Man X! They say they're so hard to come by, the black market price is a thousand yuan a pop! Ordinary people can't even find a way to buy one!"
One thousand yuan... for one stick?!
"hiss--!"
Yu Peng and Yu Xiang gasped almost at the same time, their pupils suddenly contracting.
They suddenly looked up and looked at each other, with the same horror and unbelievable ecstasy in their eyes!
"Dad! Grandpa! Come and look at this!" Yu Xiang almost shouted, and put the phone screen in front of Yu Dongshun and Old Man Yu.
When the words "one thousand yuan per stick" came clearly into the eyes of Old Man Yu and Yu Dongshun, they froze in an instant as if they were cast under a spell.
"One... one thousand?!" Old Man Yu's voice changed, his dry lips trembled, and he couldn't believe his eyes.
Just a bunch of "cheap" incense that Yu Bai girl casually took out, and each stick costs a thousand yuan?
Those twenty or so sticks, wouldn't that be... over 20,000 yuan?!
Wang Guifen also came over to take a look and cried out "Ouch!" on the spot, almost losing her balance: "Oh my God! This is not incense, these are burning gold bars!"
Yu Dongshun's mind worked the fastest. He suddenly remembered the few pounds of wild boar meat that Yu Bai gave him a few days ago. The taste and effect were definitely extraordinary!
Now, with the addition of this priceless incense stick... a bold idea began to grow wildly in his mind.
"No wonder... no wonder!" Yu Dongshun slapped his thigh and exclaimed as if he had suddenly realized something. "I knew something was wrong with Fengxia's family recently! Wild boar meat and this divine fragrance, these are definitely not things that ordinary people can have!"
A gleam of light flashed in Old Man Yu's cloudy eyes. He pointed tremblingly at the screen of his mobile phone, then at the roof of his house, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously:
"What do you think... could it be... our eldest brother?"
After these words were spoken, the whole family fell silent for a moment.
Wang Guifen was the first to react. She clapped her hands, a look of both fear and excitement on her face.
"Oh! That's really possible!"
"The eldest brother loved his wife and children the most when he was alive. He must be... he must be a god in heaven. He couldn't bear to see his wife and children suffer, so he appeared in spirit to give them good things!"
This speculation was like a drop of water falling into a boiling oil pan, instantly exploding in the Yu family.
The more they thought about it, the more this explanation seemed to make the most sense.
Otherwise, how to explain how Yu Bai, a country girl, could suddenly come up with so many unheard-of treasures?
"That's definitely the case!" Yu Dongshun agreed firmly, his eyes gleaming with greed and calculation. "Sister-in-law Fengxia is blessed with great fortune! We should keep a close eye on her. Maybe we can also share in her immense wealth!"
In an instant, the image of Yu Bai's family in their minds suddenly rose from poor relatives in need of help to a mysterious "chosen family" with rare treasures.
And in their eyes, those twenty or so calming incense sticks are no longer just a tool to help them sleep, but a golden key to wealth and glory!
Holding Yu Bai's thighs tightly, no, holding Zhou Fengxia's thighs tightly, became the only thought of Old Man Yu and his family at this moment!
