"Yes!" The old man thought for a long time and finally thought of a way. He took out a wooden box from his arms and still put it on the table. It seemed casual, but there was some reluctance in his eyes. He bargained with my mother: "Sister, this is

The things are treasures, at least worth a month’s food expenses.”

My mother didn't even look at what was inside, and even if she looked at it, I guess she didn't know what was inside and just shook her head.

"Twenty-five days?" The old man was anxious. The people behind him were even more anxious.

"Twenty days?" The old man said in pain when he saw that my mother was unmoved.

"Fifteen days, I can't wait any longer!" The old man saw that my mother's big spoon still didn't move, and stamped his foot: "If it doesn't work, I won't eat this meal."

He said he didn't want to eat it, but his eyes were looking at the braised pork in the pot, swallowing saliva, and trying to get the box back.

Although my mother is not well-educated, rural women live their lives carefully and have a particularly strong ability to observe people's emotions. When she saw this, she put a few pieces of braised pork in the old man's bowl.

"Ah!" At this moment, Chen Ou suddenly let out a scream, jumped up from the bench, pointed at the old man and said: "Uncle Sixth Master, this is the Maoshan Talisman. I will ask you for it when I go down the mountain.

You didn’t even give it, and now you actually..."

Because of excitement and anger, Chen Ou couldn't say the last few words.

However, before he could finish his words, the bowl in the old man's hand disappeared in an instant. He squatted outside the wall and began to eat. The same thing happened, and he put it into his pocket. Those who hadn't received the food yet just threw away their bowls and chopsticks.

An old man rushed up to Chen Ou like crazy, knocked Chen Ou down, and beat him severely.

When my mother saw it, she hurriedly pulled Gu Yun and I to the side. We didn't dare to start a fight, so we could only watch Chen Ou being beaten.

Chen Ou couldn't bear the beating anymore, so he hurriedly said: "Lin Chu, please help!"

I didn’t want to add insult to injury, but I understood something clearly, so I responded hastily: “Master is like father, if they beat you, how can we help?”

I was also afraid of being beaten at first, but now it seems that as long as my mother is around, these old lunatics will not dare to beat me.

Gu Yun was so frightened that he hurriedly took my mother's hand and said, "Auntie, I have nothing to do with the Maoshan sect. If I provoke these seniors, you must speak to me."

My mother also met Gu Yun and knew that he was a good friend by my side. She touched Gu Yun’s head and told him not to be afraid.

Gu Yun is in his early twenties, but in the eyes of my mother, Zhang Mengmeng and we are all children.

Seeing that I didn't save him, Chen Ou started to curse: "You old immortals and crazy people, I have been your apprentice for more than ten years. When I went down the mountain, I asked for a purple talisman and you all hid it. Now just for a mouthful of food, you are all

If you take it out, in my eyes, you are worse than beggars on the street begging for food."

It's okay that he didn't scold him. With this scolding, the old men beat him even more energetically. Master Chen Ou also scolded him while beating him and said, "You still know that you are our apprentice? Do you still have the nerve to say this?"

The second uncle took over and said: "I have raised you for more than 20 years, but I have never eaten a bite of your food. When you grow up, your wings become hard, and you abandon us to go down the mountain to enjoy the happiness, leaving us to eat bark and grass roots in the mountains! Now!

What’s wrong with eating a meal of meat?”

After hearing this, I finally understood that these eight old men could not take care of themselves. Considering that they had eaten grass roots and tree bark for more than ten years, the behavior of these old men was understandable.

I thought they were pitiable when I heard them, but as the saying goes, pitiable people must be hateful. They have hands and feet but nothing to eat. They are really lazy to the extreme.

Gu Yun also told me: "It seems that these old men are not crazy, but they have not eaten. They are like dying people who have seen first aid medicine and are desperate."

I nodded, it definitely wasn't crazy. Although I relied on my mother, I still didn't dare to offend these old guys and didn't dare to say anything.

Chen Ou wailed: "You immortals, are you stupid? What you eat is hundred-year-old Polygonum multiflorum and thousand-year-old ginseng, and you actually say it's grass roots and tree bark!"

"I'm tired of it a long time ago!" Chen Ou's master cursed and kicked Chen Ou in the face. The old men were strong, but they also had a sense of proportion when they hit Chen Ou. It really hurt the skin but not the flesh.

But it is precisely this kind of pain that feels the most intense.

When Gu Yun and I heard this, we almost fainted.

Hundred-year-old Polygonum multiflorum and thousand-year-old ginseng are not rare items in monastic sects, but eating them as food is probably not something that many sects can do. It seems that the outstanding people in Maoshan may be hiding something like a medicinal field. Xiaohong should

If you know how to make alchemy, if you have medicinal materials, you can definitely make elixirs.

It's a pity that I don't have time to check it carefully this time. I will have to check it out in the future.

It's just Master Chen Ou's words that completely changed my mind. These eight old men are just crazy. Fortunately, my mother has controlled them. It's very comfortable to stay here. In the past few days,

Maybe I have saved a lot of purple talismans, so I don’t have to worry about her getting angry.

My mother felt a little sorry when she saw Chen Ou screaming strangely after being beaten. She coughed inadvertently and said, "This dish is almost cold. I don't think you can finish it. It will be poured out later!"

As soon as my mother finished speaking, eight old men suddenly lined up and stood in front of my mother like a gust of wind. Master Chen Ou took the lead and said, "Big sister, it's such a pity that you fell down. Why don't you give it to us?"

In order to save Chen Ou, my mother had no choice but to divide some of the portion left for us and gave it to them. By the way, she also made up for the old man who had no meat in the back. A few old men squatted in the corner to eat, and Gu Yunchi and I

He walked over carefully and helped Chen Ou up.

I don’t know whether Chen Ou was stunned or angry. He got up and wanted to curse. I quickly covered his mouth and comforted him: "Just calm down, I will let my mother give you that thing later."
