Chapter 1889 Filial Piety

Niu Xi finally chose the elixir, and also said that he was not going to sell it.

This shows that he cares about his father in his heart and is indeed filial. Although he seems to be incompatible with his father, he does not really hate him.

This also means that Jia Zhengjin has the upper hand in the bet. He only needs to prevent Yue Lang from changing Niu Xi's current mind, and he will win directly in a month.

It is easy to take the elixir back, but Jia Zhengjin's big box of copper coins is more troublesome.

It is too heavy to put the copper coins in firewood.

After discussion, it is decided to leave it in the maze and take a small part away first. Tomorrow, I will think of an idea to see how to move this whole box of copper coins, or even more treasures in the maze.

All the roads that have been walked have been marked, so that next time you come in, you don’t have to take a detour and can directly reach the secret room.

The two closed the stone door again, sold the switch and prompt with dust and leaves, and modified the outside hole a little, covering it tightly, so it is difficult to see.

After that, they returned to the safe area together, chopped a few bundles of firewood, stuffed a small amount of copper coins into them, and carried them back to the village.

To avoid suspicion from the villagers, after returning home and hiding the copper coins, they took Niu Xi up the mountain to check the firewood several times.

Niu Xi had never done such work before, and suffered a lot, with his hands and feet worn out.

But he looked very excited and did not complain at all.

After all, they would soon become rich, and they would no longer have to live a hard life in the future.

When the sun was about to set, the two came back from the last trip of chopping firewood. The better, they would go up the mountain early tomorrow morning to continue exploring the maze.

Of course, they would each think about how to bring so much treasure down at night.

They went down the mountain and went home, not to mention Jia Zhengjin.

Niu Xi returned home with a tired body, piled the firewood next to the house, and went back to the house to pick up the teapot and gulped it down.

"Ahem~" Niu Bao got up with a complicated mood, dragging his sick body. Looking at his son who was so tired for the first time in his life and seemed to have suffered a lot of injuries, he didn't know what he was thinking.

This son was rebellious since childhood, probably because of his mother's death.

Niu Bao was not very good to his wife, and the two often quarreled and even fought.

Later, after a quarrel between the couple,

his wife actually hanged herself when Niu Bao was working in the fields, and died.

From then on, Niu Bao was full of self-blame, and he became ill and weaker and weaker. And Niu Xi hated his father very much because of this. At that time, he was still very young, and he often quarreled with his father.

Niu Bao himself was very ill, and his wife's death made him feel very bad, so he would beat him when he was angry.

The more he beat Niu Xi, the more disobedient he became, and even the more he hated him, and the father and son began to gradually become like enemies.

Niu Xi was unwilling to help him work in the fields since he was a child. He hung out outside every day and didn't want to see him. Niu Bao could only work with his sick body, and his health became worse. Until now, he has been extremely weak and has no strength to even go to the fields.

Today, he heard someone say that his son was going to chop firewood with Niu Shun in the mountains, and he didn't believe it at all.

Later, he found out that his son really followed Niu Shun up and down the mountain, and brought back several bundles of firewood. He thought he was dreaming for several times.

Is this really his son Niu Xi? Could it be a monster?

"What are you looking at? Old man! Go back to your bed and don't make trouble for me!" Niu Xi put down the teapot, turned around and saw his father, and cursed coldly. He put down the teapot heavily and turned to his room.

This is his son.

Niu Bao breathed a sigh of relief, but he always felt that his son was a little strange today.

What happened to him? Why did he suddenly follow Niu Shun up the mountain to chop firewood?

Did he get into trouble outside, so he hid and dared not leave the village? If so, how big a disaster would it be?

The more he thought about it, the more worried he became, the more scared he became, and his heart became uneasy, and his cough became more severe.

He wanted to ask what was going on, but his relationship with his son had always been bad, and they would quarrel with each other after just a few words.

He was depressed, and when it was time to eat, Niu Bao casually made some wild vegetable porridge and hid in his room to eat it.

He and his son don't eat together now, they are doing their own things.

Halfway through the meal, the door was pushed back.

Niu Xi, his son who had refused to step into his room, walked in during dinner time for the first time today, which made Niu Bao unbelievable: "You..."

Niu Xi's eyes met his father's, and his face immediately turned cold again.

He wanted to turn around and leave, but he stopped when he reached the threshold, and paused there for a long time. Finally, he turned back and went into the room, putting a paper bag on the table with a pill on it: "Hurry up and eat it!"

"What is it?" Niu Bao frowned, "Poison?"

"Poison can't kill you, old thing!" Niu Xi snorted coldly, "With your sickly appearance, I guess you won't live long. I don't need to waste money."

"You..." Niu Bao was so angry that his heart hurt, and he put down his bowl and chopsticks, holding his chest, "Get out!"

"Humph! Who wants to stay here? I feel uncomfortable seeing you!" Niu Xi said coldly, "Take the medicine, I'll leave right away."

"Where did the medicine come from?" Niu Bao looked at the table in confusion.

There was not much spare money at home, and Niu Xi never asked for money. He would hang out with his friends every day and ask for money from his friends.

It was impossible for him to have money to buy medicine, whether it was medicine for treating illness or poison.

Speaking of which, his son's behavior was particularly strange today. He went up the mountain with Niu Shun to chop wood, and inexplicably entered his room, and asked him to take some medicine.

"Take it if I tell you to, don't talk nonsense to me!" Niu Xi said in a bad tone.

"You know what kind of medicine this is, so I'll take it?" Niu Bao stood up hesitantly, reached for the medicine bag, and found a bamboo slip on it, "What's this word?"

His son Niu Xi went to private school when he was a child, but he himself was illiterate.

Niu Xi hesitated for a few seconds and originally wanted to turn around and leave.

But he still stepped forward and said angrily: "What's in the paper bag is gold sore medicine, which can be taken externally for wounds. This is a disease-dispelling pill. It can cure as long as it's not a terminal illness! Don't give me ink marks. If you don't need it, I'll take it myself." Sell ​​it for money!”

Niu Bao was stunned, pushed away his son's extended hand, and took a closer look at the medicine in his hand. He felt like something was stabbing him in his heart: "Where did it come from?"

"You care so much? Don't give it back to me!" Niu Xi said, but did not reach out to grab it.

"No, you and Niu Shun went up the mountain to chop firewood during the day. Where did you get this medicine?" Niu Bao was really confused and felt quite complicated.

"No ink stains! Either use it quickly or return it to me!" Niu Xi said coldly.

Niu Bao looked at his son's face carefully, coughed violently a few times, and looked down at the Qubing Pill in his hand: "I'm not afraid of you poisoning me! If my son kills me, it will cause thunder to strike!"

After saying that, he directly threw the Qubing Pill into his mouth.

The elixir melted in the mouth, and a strange energy instantly spread throughout the body, making Niu Bao feel particularly comfortable.

"Even if lightning strikes from the sky, it will strike you first!" Niu was delighted to see his father take the elixir, turned around and left the room.
