The jar is slightly larger, about half a person tall. It took Ying Ge a quarter of an hour to finally get it out and wipe off the dirt on the surface. Li Bochen took a few steps towards the pit to see its full view. It is pure white, and the mouth, ears, and bottom of the jar are covered with gold foil. He made a rough estimate in his mind. If all these gold foils were peeled off, they would probably only be exchanged for one mo of gold, because they were too thin.
Ying Yi handed the jar over with trembling arms, and Li Boxen caught it with both hands. The tiger said that the jar contained wealth. He originally thought that the jar contained gold and silver, or at least copper coins. But when I picked it up, I found that it was not very heavy, and I couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed.
Ying Ge supported the tree stick and climbed up with difficulty. There was mud all over his body and face, but he was not in a hurry to wipe it off, but asked curiously: "What's in here?"
Li Bochen thought for a while, picked up a fist-sized stone from the ground, and hit the jar with a strong hand.
The jar cracked open, leaving only the base lying on the ground. Sure enough, there was no gold, silver, or copper coins, but it looked like a wooden sculpture. It was dark and had the outline of a fat baby. It was not very big, only forearm high.
What is this?
Li Bochen frowned, but Ying Gai beside him couldn't help but whisper: "Brother Li planted this?! No... this thing looks like it's more than a hundred years old... Ha, Brother Li, how do you know? Is there such a treasure here? Now we two have nothing to worry about!"
Li Bochen sighed in his heart, thinking that he would settle down in the future, and he must learn more things whether he is born in the world or in seclusion. The doll-shaped wood carving in front of me must be a treasure, but I couldn't recognize it, so I had to rely on the old method.
Then he smiled slightly: "Brother Ying, what should I do?"
Ying Ge hesitated for a while, but still stared at the thing: "The treasure belongs to Brother Li, I...just need a little bit. Brother Li, this thing has dirty hands, shall I take care of it?"
Li Bochen nodded: "Okay."
Ying Ge immediately stepped forward and squatted down. First I grabbed two handfuls of snow and washed my hands repeatedly, then picked up a thinner piece of stone and washed it. Then he held the thing with one hand and tapped the top lightly with the other.
A piece of the top was broken, and the body of the wooden sculpture was also cracked. He put down the stone and peeled off the brittle and hard shell like an egg. Li Bochen saw that what was exposed looked like the hair on the outside of a coconut, but when the thing was pinched, dark red juice oozed out. Come on, it's a bit like the peel inside the mangosteen.
Li Bochen was two steps away from it, but he could already smell a strange fragrance, sour and sweet, like some kind of fruit.
I should have peeled off this layer, but there wasn't much left inside. This thing was originally as long as a forearm, but now it is only an egg-sized fruit, which is translucent and looks like lychee flesh.
Yingyi cut off a piece about the size of a fingernail with the stone piece, wiped his hands on his clothes, stood up and handed the rest to Li Boxen: "With this, the injuries on you and me can be healed."
Li Bochen took the thing and felt that the aroma was getting stronger. He only ate a bowl of noodles at the foot shop in the morning. After struggling for a long time, he was already hungry. Ying Geng said that injuries on the body can be cured by having this thing. The jar that the tiger mentioned is helpful for spiritual practice, so this is it.
He moved his index finger and put the fruit into his mouth and took a bite. His mouth was immediately filled with the sweet and sour taste, making his mouth water. He couldn't help but put the rest into his mouth, chewed it for a few times and swallowed it, but there was still a fragrance on his lips and teeth, as if there was sweetness and sourness in his breath. Once this thing falls into the stomach, a warm feeling immediately spreads throughout the limbs and bones.
Most of his wounds from the tiger on Wujing Mountain had healed, but his body still felt unbearably sore, and there were hidden wounds somewhere. Now that the warm current had turned, he was even aware of those hidden wounds. With another stroke of luck, his spiritual energy flowed together with the warm current. Within a few breaths, he felt that his whole body was reborn, and he was so full of energy that he wanted to look up to the sky and scream.
He thought about it for a while before looking at Ying Gai, and found that his complexion seemed to be better, probably because he had eaten the fingernail-sized piece. Only then did I feel a little regretful. The effect of this thing is so miraculous. If there is any way to keep it, maybe it can be used as a life-saving emergency medicine in the future.
Yingyi bowed his hand and bowed to him: "Brother Li, I have misunderstood your kindness several times, and now I feel really ashamed."
After saying this, he touched his arms and took out two gold collars and spread them in his palms: "I used to have a normal heart, but because of my family background and cultivation, I gradually went astray. Now I think of the monster I caught. The two innocent passers-by who were killed are really ashamed to see Brother Li again. Please Brother Li, please accept these. You were with them. If you have the chance, bring it to their families."
Li Bochen didn't expect him to say such a thing. He was stunned, but he still reached out and took it. A piece of gold collar is worth about 10,000 yuan. A clerk at Yishenghe Company earns about 2,000 to 3,000 yuan a year if he does not eat or drink. Although money cannot buy life, it is really rare for this person to really think about this.
Li Bochen sighed in his heart. Along the way, Ying Yi showed kindness to him in every possible way, making him less and less cruel. Now he felt that he had given some of that magical fruit to him for healing, so he probably trusted himself even more.
Once this kind of trust is placed on you, things get complicated. Li Bochen stood in the snow, holding the two heavy gold collars. He watched Ying Gai fill the peeled fruit peels and the fragments of the white porcelain jar back into the pit, then walked over and put the gold foil on the jar. He handed the small golden beads as big as mung beans to himself.
He raised his hand to pinch Xiaozhu and sighed: "Brother Ying, let's go. I hope what you just said is true."
Ying Yi didn't seem surprised, but smiled: "Brother Li is not afraid that I will do evil again and kill innocent people indiscriminately."
Li Bochen said sternly: "If you and I have never known each other, and you do evil, you will have your own government and governor to take care of you. The most I can do is fight against you when I meet the owner of your misfortune. But now that Brother Ying is out of my hands, if If the day comes, I am half responsible. No matter where you are in the world, I will bring you to justice."
Ying Gai was stunned for a moment, then smiled again: "It's just a joke. Okay, brother Li, I will accompany you for a while."
Li Bochen also felt that what he just said was a bit serious. If you think about it carefully, it is probably due to your body and experience. Although he has always been self-aware, he first escaped from Wuliang City, fought a tiger, escaped from Li Ding's hands, and subdued the person in front of him whose cultivation far exceeded his own. For a while, he felt heroic again in his heart. .
And the effect of the fruit he just ate has not faded away, and is even getting stronger. He feels more energetic, as if he is tipsy after drinking alcohol. Then he smiled and said, "Okay."
The two of them walked a few dozen more steps, but Yingyi remained silent. On the other hand, Li Boxen felt his body getting hotter and hotter, and his forehead began to throb, becoming more and more like the feeling when he was about to be drunk. He thought that this thing was indeed a treasure, and its effectiveness was so overbearing. It would be great if he knew what it was.
As he was thinking this, the words blurted out: "Brother Ying, what did you eat just now?"
Ying Yi turned to look at him with a smile. Li Bochen didn't know why he was laughing and wanted to say something, but his feet gave way and he fell to the ground.
