C2221 The Mystery of Life
"Grandfather!" Didn't you say that with this medicine, you would be able to recover? Why did you say that now that the boy has bought the medicine? " The little fellow's eyes instantly turned red.
"Cough cough …" "Grandpa, grandpa is lying to you. I'm sorry, Tong Tong. Grandpa doesn't want to see you hurt too much, so I lied and ate the medicine for you."
The old man's tone was a bit weaker.
Obviously, he had never thought that Yue Tong would be able to buy him a Pill.
He just wanted to give the little guy a way to persevere.
"NO!" I don't believe it! You're lying to me now, aren't you? Grandpa, are you afraid that I would lie to you or that I would use this money incorrectly? That's why you're not willing to eat it? " The little fellow's eyes were red as it softly cried out.
Then, he turned his head to look at Ye Feng who was standing at the door and softly said, "Grandpa, Tong Tong didn't lie to you. Then, he turned his head to look at Ye Feng who was standing at the door and gently said:" Grandpa, Tong Wu wasn't lying to you.
The old man followed his gaze and looked over.
Seeing that, Ye Feng squeezed out a smile and nodded: "Old man, Tong Tong is right, he did not lie to you, I saw that he is so young and has such filial piety, that's why I gave him the Spiritual Stone to buy medicine."
"You might as well eat this medicine and let the boy feel at ease."
The old man still hesitated slightly when he heard this.
Ye Feng then said softly: "I know your physical condition very well, Tong Tong was willing to spend his entire life as a slave in exchange for this Pill. If you don't eat it, Tong Tong will never be willing to accept it and take this pill without regrets, so that Tong Tong won't blame himself for not being able to persuade you to eat the Pill."
"This Pill is only thirty pieces. To me, it's nothing. I won't make things difficult for the boy, so just relax."
He was a little worried that the old man would not be able to understand the hidden meaning in his words.
Afterwards, he directly used the most straightforward words, telling him not to worry about the Spiritual Stone.
As expected, as soon as he said that, the old man understood what he meant and smiled gratefully at Ye Feng: "Thank you … …" My lord, in that case, this old man understands … "I'll eat."
Saying that, he opened his mouth, allowing the Pill to enter his throat.
Yue Tong's face revealed an extremely happy expression. "Grandfather, you've taken some medicine. After a good night's sleep, you'll be fine tomorrow."
The old man's vitality had also somewhat recovered. He said with a doting smile, "That's right, Tong Tong. Grandfather is a little hungry now. How about you go to the back mountain and dig up some yam for grandpa to eat?"
"Alright, Grandpa, just wait. I'll be right there."
The little boy was even happier now. His footsteps were fast as he turned around and ran out.
Ye Feng looked at the old man and stood at the door without moving.
He let the little guy cook. It was obvious that he wanted to get rid of the little boy. He did not know what his intentions were.
The old man looked at Ye Feng with a complicated gaze. He forced himself to sit up on the bed and slowly said, "Please forgive me, my lord. My body is inconvenient, I am unable to greet you."
Ye Feng waved his hand, indicating that it wasn't important.
The old man continued: "If you are willing to help us in such a situation then the old man can feel a sense of righteousness from you. It is enough to prove that you are a true kind-hearted person. So the old man was thick-skinned enough to ask for your help."
"Go ahead." Ye Feng's eyes flashed.
"I'm not afraid of your jokes even if I say it out loud. In fact, the children and I aren't real grandfathers and grandsons." The old man opened his mouth, causing Ye Feng to be slightly stunned.
But he did not speak. He just listened.
I, this old man, do not have any other skills, and have never had a wife or daughter in my life. Fortunately, Heaven has been merciful, allowing me to pick up a child servant a few years ago.
The old man continued to speak, as if he was telling a story.
"I brought him back. At that time, he was still in his infancy and was a little kid who needed to drink milk. This old man forgot to eat and slept and finally grew him up."
Originally, I planned to tell him after he understood a bit of things, but this little guy is too cute, and he's also determined that I'm his only relative. He calls me grandpa, and that's how beautiful I feel in my heart, so I dragged it down day by day.
"Sigh, originally, with my body, I would have been able to raise a child child eight to ten years without any problems. However, since there is an unexpected event, when I went out a while ago and suffered an accident, I managed to pull out an old injury as well. Now, I have no way out."
Tong Tong was extremely worried, I have wanted to tell him many times that Grandfather will not be able to live, but every time the words are on the tip of my tongue, I cannot bear to say it, so I can only trick him into thinking that there is still hope, this old man really did not think, to be able to meet a kind-hearted lord like you, who is willing to gift him thirty Spiritual Stone, and let him buy medicine.
I also understand what you said just now. If I die without taking any medicine, the child will definitely blame himself for not persuading me properly and that will lead to the old man's death. Now that I've eaten the medicine, I will make him feel better.
"I am truly grateful to you. I am willing to protect the heart of a child that I have never met before."
Saying that, the old man paused for a moment, then wrapped his arms around Ye Feng and bowed with difficulty.
Ye Feng knew... The old man might not want to tell him these things.
The main event should be at the end.
As expected, when the old man finished talking, Ye Feng saw the old man's expression changed and lit up.
"Actually... This old man feels that the identity of a child servant has some background. "
"Because when I picked him up that year, besides a letter saying that he had indeed been abandoned, there was also a jade pendant. That jade pendant's quality is something that this old man has never seen before."
"Over the years, I've used all sorts of channels and insinuations to get an understanding of the situation. If I were to sell that jade pendant, I could sell it for more than ten thousand Spiritual Stone."
"Tens of thousands of Spiritual Stone?!"
Ye Feng was shocked.
One had to know that Martial Cultivator, who was at the peak of the Emptiness Realm, only earned five hundred Spiritual Stone a year.
A jade pendant with over ten thousand Spiritual Stone s could be said to be extremely expensive.
"That's right. At least ten thousand, but not low. That's why this old man came to the conclusion that the identity of this boy is extraordinary."
"Actually, in all these years, I've tried to find out who abandoned the child servant and left behind such a precious item."
"I didn't touch that jade pendant. No matter how difficult it was, I didn't let the boy know of its existence."
"Perhaps this is the only item left behind by his biological parents. One day, he might be able to use it. I'm afraid that in order to let the old man live on, he will use it to exchange for money."
