Chapter 247 Box
"What's wrong? Senior Brother Li, the things we worked so hard to get back can't be fake, right?"
Seeing Li Huowang stop, Gou Wa's nervous tone changed.
He really hoped that this thing would come in handy, and the sick Senior Brother Li was too capable of tossing things around.
Li Huowang frowned and shook his head. He held the black Tai Sui in his hand and stopped where he was.
"What am I hesitating about? It's just an illusion over there."
Thinking of this, he raised Hei Tai Sui 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 had returned from sword practice, approached Bai Lingmiao and asked softly about something, Li Huowang slowly stuffed the meat in his hand back into Hei Taisui's body.
"Miaomiao, how much gold do we have in our inventory now?"
Although Bai Lingmiao was surprised that the other party would ask such a question, he still answered truthfully.
"I exchanged some silver at Women's Mountain before, and there are probably a few dozen taels left."
"A few dozen taels? Not enough, a little bit not enough."
Li Huowang murmured to himself, and he suddenly turned to look at Sun Baolu.
"Is there a lot of hard currency among your tribe? Can you borrow some for me? Don't worry, it's just a loan, and I'll return it to you after you use it."
Sun Baolu rarely showed a trace of hesitation on his face. "Okay, I'll go ask."
"Senior Brother Li, what do you want so much gold for?"
"Yes, our expenses are enough to reach Liang Guo."
Faced with these inquiries, Li Huowang sighed, shook his head, turned around, opened the curtain, and walked out of the tent.
"Stop asking, it's none of your business. Is there anything to eat? I'm hungry."
Sun Baolu's efficiency was much faster than Li Huowang thought. He had just finished his first meal when he walked into the tent with his mother holding a small round package in his arms.
Sun Baolu did not speak first, but first cast a questioning look at his mother.
When he saw his mother nodding slightly, he carefully pulled away the cloth in his arms. Suddenly the golden light almost dazzled other people's eyes.
It was an oval-shaped, palm-sized gold box, inlaid with various agates and sapphires of excellent quality.
In this gold box, there are also several gold ingots and gold jewelry.
It doesn't look like much, but you have to know that gold is very important. This small handful is quite valuable.
Seeing that Li Huowang was surprised at the value of this thing and wondered where an ordinary person could get such a valuable thing, Sun Baolu's mother said: "You don't have to be taboo, real people. This is not something in the tomb, but my dowry. A gift from home.”
"A gift from the master?" Li Huowang reached out to grab it and shook it, but he couldn't hold it. Gold is really heavy.
The woman's expression was a little complicated, "Yes, it is a gift from the master. After all, those who can afford the beauty paper are either rich or noble. This thing is extremely valuable in the eyes of ordinary people, but it is nothing in the eyes of some people." "
"Master, you saved my son, this is my reward. I hope Master will accept it."
I didn’t say I wanted it, I just used it and returned it to you after I’m done. "Looking at the posture, the other party seems to want to use this thing to buy out the favor.
The woman seemed not to want to have too much contact with Li Huowang, so she bowed respectfully and withdrew with her back to the door curtain.
"What's wrong with your mother? Why are you so arrogant?"
Sun Baolu hesitated, as if he had something to hide. He thought to himself: "Senior Brother Li, how many people did you scare when you came back? How can you come out of that place alive, and you brought two weird-looking things with you? The clan members may be spreading rumors about you behind their backs now."
"Forget it, I don't want your stuff. When I'm done with it, you can take it back. Do you understand me?"
Sun Baolu looked a little embarrassed, "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'm sorry to bother you during this time, maybe we will have to stay here for a while."
"Senior Brother Li, what you said is beyond words. You saved my life."
Within a period of time, the other brothers and sisters discovered that Brother Li, who was healing, kept the gold box next to him 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 he did.
At night, Bai Lingmiao turned over and saw that the person beside him had sat up at some point. He was sitting on the bed holding the gold box motionless like a wooden sculpture in the middle of the night.
Bai Lingmiao sighed softly, turned slightly to the side, and turned her back to him.
"Senior Brother Li, are you reluctant to go there? Or do you always think that there is still a possibility that it is true?"
Li Huowang in the darkness did not reply.
"What about Senior Brother Li? Do you hope that side is true, or do you hope that side is false?"
Li Huowang sighed deeply, and his very tired and hoarse voice slowly echoed in the tent. "I also want to know the answer to this."
Days passed day by day, and as time went by and as he moved again and again, the unrecognizable Li Huowang gradually changed back to his original appearance.
The injury was almost healed. When Li Huowang was about to interrogate Han Fu's little head, Bao Lu, who had changed into a Qingqiu costume, came to see him.
"Senior Brother Li, the clan leader invited me to ask you something." He came to Li Huowang and said.
"What's wrong?" Li Huowang quickly went through it in his mind. Qingqiu has been calm recently, and nothing seems to have happened.
"Those women you rescued from the village, some of them are interested in each other with the young men in the clan. The clan leader actually wants to find out. If you don't nod your head and agree, those people won't dare to mess around."
"Okay, why not."
Judging from the appearance of Baolu's mother, this place is considered a good place to live, which is better than running around with him.
When we were at the border, several people died because of Peng Longteng. If these women continue to follow, God knows how many will be left in the Liang Kingdom.
"Okay! I'll go back and tell the clan leader!" Baolu, who had returned to normal, was no longer as taciturn as before, and had a much more cheerful personality.
The excited Bao Lu turned his head and was about to leave when Li Huowang's big hand pinched his arm tightly, and his arm was instantly pinched black and blue.
Sun Baolu turned around and saw Li Huowang looking at him with a ferocious expression, "Quick! Let Zhijian bring the chain here!!"
"Oh! Good!"
Feeling that everything around him began to change, Li Huowang stuffed the gold box into his arms as quickly as possible.
The noisy tent camp was replaced by a quiet and white ward. It's dark here.
Li Huowang looked at his mother sleeping on the recliner next to him in a daze. She was covered with the quilt used in his room.
"mom."
