Chapter 377 5 Spiritual Roots Little Waste 57
Su Ziyu raised his eyebrows, dug out a corner of the silver ingot from his chest, and then quickly put it back.
One silver ingot is equivalent to ten taels of silver.
Lai Fu and Er Gouzi were shocked. My goodness, this brother and sister are about the same age as them, and judging from their clothes, they don’t look like they come from a wealthy family. Where did they get the silver ingots?
However, the doubt flashed through his mind quickly, and he was attracted by the unlimited buns that Su Ziyu mentioned. Lai Fu stayed there and waited with him, while Er Gouzi ran to call for help.
After a while, a group of skinny and pale children gathered together.
"You said you would give us buns to eat?"
Although the boy who was speaking, Qiao Ning, was not the tallest or the strongest, he had the sharpest eyes, and he must be the leader of this group.
He looked Su Ziyu up and down, his eyes filled with vigilance.
It’s not that no one had tried to deceive them in this way before, attempting to capture them and sell them for money, but it was only because they were numerous and united that the bad guys didn’t succeed.
This time he agreed to let everyone take the risk and come over, not only because he knew that the brother and sister were young and his brothers could handle them, but also because Xiao Liuzi was too ill and needed money to buy medicine.
If I can cheat some money out of this sucker, I'll have money for Xiao Liuzi's medicine.
Huo, little wolf cub.
Su Ziyu was casual and let him look at her. "I want to choose some playmates for my sister. If anyone can stand in horse stance under the sun for half an hour, I will take him in. I will provide him with food and lodging so he doesn't have to wander around."
When they heard this, everyone became agitated.
Qiao Ning turned around, and the commotion behind him instantly quieted down. He looked at Su Ziyu again, "You're so young, yet you're so arrogant. Words are not enough, how can we trust you?"
Su Ziyu smiled and said, "Tofu is very popular in this town recently. I'm sure you all know that Guiyunlou and I have a deal. I order more than ten pounds of tofu to be delivered to them every day."
As he spoke, he showed a contract.
Qiao Ning couldn't read, but he recognized the seal on the contract. Seeing that it was indeed the seal of Guiyun Tower, he felt that the deal had been made.
"How do you do the horse stance?"
Su Ziyu gave a simple demonstration and then asked them to start in the alley. He and his sister ate sugar-roasted chestnuts and watched their performance.
Su Yaoyao didn't understand what her brother was doing. "Brother, what is playing together?"
In fact, Su Yaoyao was not the only one who didn't understand. This group of little beggars were also blind. They all came here just to eat the buns.
Hearing Su Yaoyao's question, the others also pricked up their ears, wanting to hear what playing together meant.
Qiao Ning seemed to be standing in horse stance with his eyes downcast, but he was actually listening.
Su Ziyu caught a glimpse of the curious expressions on the faces of the group of people. He stroked his sister's hair and patiently explained, "Brother is usually busy at home and can't take care of Yaoyao, so he wants to find some little brothers to play with Yaoyao."
Yaoyao pouted and put her arms around Su Ziyu's waist, "Yaoyao only wants brother."
She doesn't want other brothers. Don't think she doesn't remember that there was someone here who stole her buns.
Su Ziyu felt a pain from being hugged, and patted her arm to let go, "Okay, okay, brother only wants Yaoyao as a sister. But brother wants to find some friends for Yaoyao, so that Yaoyao will have friends."
Hearing the word "friend", Su Yaoyao let go of her hand.
She looked at the group of dark-skinned beggars timidly, "Would they be willing to be friends with Yaoyao?"
She used to have good friends in the village.
Unfortunately, ever since my parents passed away, they are unwilling to play with me anymore. They call me a burden and a debt collector, and even throw stones and mud at me.
Su Ziyu couldn't bear to see his sister's self-deprecation, so he immediately encouraged her, "Brother's words don't count. Why don't you wait until they finish their horse stance and Yaoyao helps you pass the buns to them, and then ask them in person?"
Su Yaoyao subconsciously retreated, but when she met her brother's smiling eyes, she suddenly felt an indescribable courage, as if as long as her brother was there, she was not afraid of anything.
So she nodded slightly, "Yaoyao listens to brother."
Half an hour is not easy to endure.
Especially for this group of little beggars who were not well fed and clothed, they just squatted for a while and their legs began to tremble uncontrollably. Coupled with the scorching sun, they almost collapsed soon.
Many people took advantage of the fact that they were standing at the back and secretly adjusted their posture to be less standard, and even moved their hands and feet from time to time. Only Qiao Ning remained consistent, and did not move even when sweat got into his eyes.
Su Ziyu couldn't help but look at him with a higher opinion.
Yes, if you don’t have some ability, you can’t become the leader of this group of little kids.
While peeling chestnuts for his sister, Su Ziyu asked the system, "System, is there anyone among this group of people who can cultivate immortality?"
The system didn't respond in a hurry, "Host, have you ever considered whether you can practice?"
Su Ziyu: ...
Depend on! ! !
Forget about this!!
He was only concerned with making money to improve his life, wanting his sister to have enough food and clothing before the immortal sect recruited disciples, but he forgot about the issue of his original qualifications.
If he couldn't go to Luoshen Sect with them, wouldn't everything be in vain?
"Then what are the qualifications of this body?"
[No spiritual roots.]
Su Ziyu smiled bitterly: I knew it would be like this.
His emotions became complicated instantly. Su Yaoyao had originally opened her mouth, waiting for her brother to feed her chestnuts, but she saw her brother standing there in a daze. She raised her eyes in confusion, "Brother?"
Su Ziyu was called back to his senses and continued peeling chestnuts, but his heart was still uneasy. "System, we are actually living a good life in the village now. There is absolutely no need to go to the sect and become an outer disciple who can be ordered around by others."
The host's idea is too dangerous and must be nipped in the bud in the bud.
The system pretended to be calm and said, "Host, can you really bear to watch Su Yaoyao, who could have pursued the Great Dao, waste her years in the mortal world, suffering from birth, old age, sickness, and death?"
Of course Su Ziyu couldn't bear it.
He knew very well that even if he was Su Yaoyao's brother, he couldn't really make decisions for her.
Su Ziyu sighed, "Then tell me, is there any way to cleanse the marrow and bones? I'm not greedy. Five spiritual roots is the bottom line. Better is better."
The system immediately responded, "Of course. There are raw materials for refining the Marrow Cleansing Pill in the mountains behind Xihe Village. You can pick them and refine them."
Hearing this, Su Ziyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He was afraid that the sister he had just raised would be bullied. As his brother was just a useless mortal, it would be as easy for those immortal cultivators to kill him as it would be to kill an ant.
Time passed minute by minute, and soon half an hour had passed.
Qiao Ning stood up almost on time, staring at Su Ziyu and asking him to fulfill his promise. Su Ziyu did not hesitate and took them to the wonton stall where they had eaten last time, and each of them had a bowl of wontons and two buns.
Everyone ate and drank voraciously.
Su Ziyu ordered a bowl of wontons for his sister, but was pulled aside by the couple running the wonton stall. They quietly asked him how he got involved with these little beggars and whether they needed him to report to the police.
Su Ziyu smiled and shook his head, saying that they had helped him and he took the initiative to treat them to a meal, then paid the bill. He turned around and met Qiao Ning's wary gaze.
That look seemed to say, don't try to play tricks, I'm watching you! !
