Chapter 2220 The Mystery of Life
But the old man just refused to eat: "Obey, grandpa really can't eat it. Grandpa's body knows very well that he won't live for a few days. You should keep this elixir. Situ."
"Grandpa! Didn't you say that with this medicine, you will get better? Why do you say that now that Tongtong bought the medicine?" The little guy's eyes turned red instantly.
"Ahem...Grandpa, grandpa lied to you. I'm sorry, Tongtong, grandpa didn't want to see you too sad, so he lied to you that you can get better after taking medicine."
The old man's tone became weaker.
Obviously, he had never thought that Yuetong could buy him the elixir.
He just wanted to give the little guy a belief to carry on.
"No! I don't believe it! You are lying to me now, aren't you? Grandpa, are you afraid that I will lie to you or that the money is not right? That's why you refuse to eat it?" The little guy's eyes were red and he whispered softly. drink.
Then he turned to look at Ye Feng who was standing at the door, and said softly: "Grandpa, Tongtong didn't lie to you. You see, the kind-hearted big brother is at the door. He doesn't want Tongtong to be a slave, so hurry up and eat." Come on, Tongtong, please.”
The old man followed his gaze and looked over.
Seeing this, Ye Feng squeezed out a smile and nodded: "Old man, Tongtong is right, he didn't lie to you. I saw that he has such a filial heart at such a young age, so I bought him a spiritual stone. medicine."
"You might as well take this medicine quickly, so that Tongtong can feel at ease."
Hearing this, the old man still hesitated a little.
Ye Feng said softly: "I am very aware of your physical condition. Tongtong would not hesitate to be a slave for the rest of his life in exchange for this pill. If you leave without taking it, Tongtong will never be willing to take it." Taking this medicine will help Tongtong have no regrets, lest he blame himself for not convincing you to take the medicine. "
"This elixir is only thirty spiritual stones. To me, it's nothing. I won't embarrass Tongtong, so don't worry."
He was a little worried that the old man couldn't understand the subtext of his words.
Then just use the most straightforward words to tell him not to worry about the spiritual stone issue.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the old man understood what he meant and smiled gratefully at Ye Feng: "Thank you... Sir, in that case, I understand, old man... I will eat."
After saying that, he opened his mouth and let the elixir enter his throat.
A happy expression appeared on Yue Tong's face: "Grandpa, take the medicine and have a sleep, and you will be fine tomorrow."
The old man's vitality has obviously recovered a little, and he said with a fond smile: "Yes, Tongtong, grandpa is a little hungry now. Why don't you go to the back mountain and dig some sweet potatoes for grandpa to eat?"
"Okay, grandpa, just wait, I'll be here soon."
The little boy became even happier, turned around and ran out quickly with quick steps.
Ye Feng looked at the old man and stood at the door without moving.
He asked the little guy to cook, obviously to push the little boy away, but he didn't know what his intention was.
The old man looked at Ye Feng with complicated eyes, and forced himself to sit up on the bed. He said slowly: "Please forgive me, sir. The old man is not physically able to salute you."
Ye Feng waved his hand, indicating that it was not important.
The old man followed and said: "You are willing to help in this situation, and the old man can feel some awe-inspiring aura from you, which is enough to prove that you are a truly benevolent person. Therefore, the old man is shameless and has something to think about. Please ask an adult for help.”
"Say." Ye Feng's eyes flashed.
"I'm not afraid of your laughter when I say it. In fact, Tongtong and I are not real grandsons." The old man said, making Ye Feng a little surprised.
But he didn't speak, just listened quietly.
"I am a bad old man who has no other abilities. I have never had a wife or daughter in my life. Fortunately, God is so merciful that my old man picked up Tongtong a few years ago, which is some comfort. He is an orphan, and I don't know who he is. So cruel, leaving a little guy like a porcelain doll outside. "
The old man was talking to himself, as if telling a story.
"I brought him back. At that time, he was still in his infancy. He was a little baby who needed to be fed. The old man spent all his sleep and food, and finally brought him up."
"Originally, I planned to tell him when he can understand something, but this little guy is so cute, and he believes that the old man is his only relative. He is a grandfather every time, which makes me feel so beautiful, so I drag him down day by day. , I’m afraid that if I tell him, he won’t kiss me anymore.”
"Hey, originally I had no problem with my body if I lived for another ten or eight years, and I would be able to completely raise the children. However, there were unforeseen circumstances. I was in an accident when I went out a while ago, and I also tore off old wounds. Come out, there is no way to survive now.”
"Tongtong was very worried. I wanted to tell him several times that grandpa would not survive, but every time the words came to my lips, I couldn't bear to say it out loud, so I had to lie to him that there was still hope. The old man never thought that he would meet someone like you. The kind-hearted master is willing to give him thirty spiritual stones to buy the medicine."
"What you just said, I also understand that if I die without taking the medicine, Tongtong will definitely blame himself for not persuading me properly, which is why the old man died. Now he takes the medicine and then dies. It will make him feel better.”
"I'm really grateful that you are willing to protect the heart of a child I have never met."
Having said this, the old man paused and bowed to Ye Feng with difficulty.
Ye Feng knew...the old man might not want to tell him this.
The highlight should be at the back.
Sure enough, when the old man finished talking, Ye Feng saw that the old man's expression was brightened, and there was some light on his face.
"Actually... Tongtong's identity, the old man thinks there is some origin."
"Because when I picked him up, in addition to a letter indicating that he was indeed abandoned, there was also a jade pendant. The quality of the jade pendant is a good thing that the old man has never seen in his life."
"Over the years, I have used various channels to find out indirectly. If a jade pendant like that is sold, it can be sold for at least tens of thousands of spirit stones."
"Tens of thousands of spirit stones?!"
Ye Feng was shocked.
You know, a peak warrior in the virtual realm only has a salary of 500 spirit stones a year.
A jade pendant worth tens of thousands of spirit stones is a sky-high price.
"That's right, at least tens of thousands, only higher, not lower, so the old man concluded that Tongtong's identity is extraordinary."
"In fact, over the years, I have also inquired from many sources, but I still can't find out who abandoned Tongtong and left such a valuable thing behind."
"I have never touched the jade pendant. No matter how difficult it was, I never let Tongtong know about the existence of this jade pendant."
"This may be the only thing left to him by his biological parents. One day in the future, he may be able to use it. I am afraid that he will exchange it for money in order to keep the old man alive."
