Mutated Tao Chapter 245: box
"What's the matter? Senior Brother Li, the thing we took so hard to get back is not fake, right?"
Seeing Li Huowang stop there, Gouwa's nervous tone changed.
He really hoped that this thing would come in handy, Senior Brother Li, who was sick, was too much trouble.
Li Huowang frowned and shook his head, holding the black Tai Sui in his hand, and stopped on the spot.
"What the **** am I hesitating about? It's just an illusion over there."
Thinking of this, he raised Hei Taisui and was about to stuff it into his mouth, but he stopped abruptly again.
Everyone in the tent could see that Senior Brother Li, who had just recovered from a serious illness, was thinking about something. As for what he was thinking about, only he knew.
When Chun Xiaoman, who came back from sword practice, approached Bai Lingmiao to ask something softly, Li Huowang slowly put the meat back on Hei Taisui's body.
"Miaomiao, how much gold do we still have in our pocket?"
Although Bai Lingmiao was surprised that the other party would ask such a question, she still answered truthfully.
"I exchanged some silver at Women's Mountain before, and there are probably dozens of taels left."
"Dozens of taels? Not enough, not enough."
Li Huowang muttered to himself, he suddenly turned his head to look at Sun Baolu.
"Is there a lot of hard currency in your tribe? Can you borrow some for me? Don't worry, I just borrowed it for a while, and I will return it to you when it is used up."
Sun Baolu rarely showed a trace of hesitation on his face. "Okay, I'll ask."
"Brother Li, why do you want so much gold?"
"That's right, our money has reached Liang Guo."
Facing these inquiries, Li Huowang sighed, shook his head, turned around and opened the curtain, and walked out of the tent.
"Don't ask, it has nothing to do with you, is there anything to eat? I'm hungry."
Sun Baolu's efficiency was far faster than Li Huowang's thought. He had just finished his first meal, and with a small round package in his arms, he led his mother into the tent.
Sun Baolu didn't speak first, but cast a questioning look at his mother.
When he saw his mother nodding slightly, he carefully pulled the cloth from his arms. Suddenly, the golden light almost dazzled the eyes of others.
That is an oval-shaped, palm-sized gold box, inlaid with various agates and sapphires of excellent quality.
Inside the gold box, there are several gold ingots and gold jewelry.
It doesn't look like much, but you must know that gold is very important. This small handful of things is quite valuable
When Li Huowang was amazed at the value of this thing, and guessed where an ordinary person from the other party got such a valuable thing, Sun Baolu's mother said, "Don't be shy about real people. This is not something from the tomb, but my dowry." , as a gift from the master back then."
"Sent by the master?" Li Huowang stretched out his hand and grabbed it and turned it upside down, so he couldn't catch it, the gold is really heavy.
The expression on the woman's face was a bit complicated, "Yes, it was a gift from the master. After all, people who can afford beauty paper are either rich or expensive. This thing is priceless in the eyes of ordinary people, but what is it in the eyes of some people?" Neither."
"Renren, you saved my son, this thing is a reward. I hope the real person will accept it."
I didn't say I want it, I just use it and return it to you when I'm done using it. "Looking at the posture, the other party seems to want to use this thing to buy out the favor.
The woman didn't seem to want to have too much contact with Li Huowang, so she bowed respectfully and retreated with her back to the door curtain.
"What's wrong with your mother? Why are you so aggressive?"
Sun Baolu hesitated, as if he had something hard to say. He said in his heart: "Brother Li, how many people have you scared when you came back this time? You can come out of that place alive, and you also brought two strange things. Now the clansmen are not sure how to tell you behind your back."
"Forget it, I don't want anything from your house. When I run out, you can take it back. Do you hear me clearly?"
Sun Baolu looked a bit embarrassed, "Then Senior Brother Li, when do you plan to use this gold?"
Hearing this, Li Huowang, who was holding the gold box in both hands, had a slightly depressed expression.
"Wait, I don't know when, Baolu, I will trouble you during this time, maybe we will stay here for a while."
"Brother Li, what you said is ridiculous, you saved my life."
After a period of time, the other senior brothers and sisters discovered that the healed Senior Brother Li kept the gold box by his side all the time, like a miser. But he is obviously not that kind of person.
Among these people, only Bai Lingmiao knew some details. She knew why the other party did what they did.
In the middle of the night, Bai Lingmiao turned over and saw that the person next to her pillow had sat up at some point, like a wood carving in the middle of the night, sitting on the bed holding the golden box, motionless.
Bai Lingmiao sighed softly, turned her body slightly, and turned her back to him.
"Brother Li, are you very reluctant to go there? Or do you always think that there is still a possibility to be true?"
Li Huowang in the dark did not reply.
"Then Senior Brother Li? Do you hope that side is real, or that side is fake?"
Li Huowang sighed deeply, his very tired hoarse voice slowly echoed in the tent. "I want to know the answer too."
Days passed day by day, and with the passage of time, Li Huowang, who was unrecognizable, gradually changed back to his original appearance as he shifted again and again.
The injury was almost healed, and when Li Huowang was about to interrogate Han Fu's little head, Baolu, who was dressed as a Qingqiu man, came to him.
"Brother Li, the patriarch asked me to ask you something." He came to Li Huowang and said.
"What's the matter?" Li Huowang quickly ran through his mind, Qingqiu has been calm recently, as if nothing happened.
"It's those women you rescued from the village. A few of the young men in the clan are interested in each other. .”
"Okay, why not."
Looking at Baolu's mother's appearance, this place is considered a good place to live in peace, and it's better than running around with myself.
When we were at the border, several of them died because of Peng Longteng. If these women continue to follow, God knows how many will be left in Liang Guo.
"That's fine! I'll go back and tell the patriarch!" Baolu, who has returned to normal, is no longer as taciturn as before, and has a much more cheerful personality.
Excited Baolu turned his head and was about to leave when Li Huowang's big hand grabbed his arm tightly, and it was black and blue in an instant.
Sun Baolu turned his head and saw Li Huowang looking at him with a ferocious expression, "Hurry up! Let Zhijian bring the chain!!"
"Alas! Good!"
Feeling that everything around him began to change, Li Huowang stuffed the golden box into his arms as quickly as possible.
The noisy tent camp was replaced by quiet and white wards. It is night here.
Li Huowang stared blankly at his mother who was sleeping on the recliner next to her. She was covered with the small quilt used in his room.
"Mom."
