C150 The underground specialty is gone (2/2)
After everyone had left, Zhuang Diandian heaved a sigh of relief. Then, the Mr. Zong sat down and smiled, ”I've fallen so deep down, how could I have made it back alive! You truly are my Mr. Zong's granddaughter! ”
Zhuang Diandian's eyebrows twitched, she immediately raised her head, closing her eyes, her palm flipping upwards, ”Grandfather, just tell me, how will you compensate my mental loss?”
Mr. Zong smiled mysteriously. From a bunch of keys hanging around his waist, he dug out a handful and took it off, placing it in her palm.
When Xi Shangyun saw the key, he was startled. He looked at Xu Shaoting, who was equally shocked. It seemed like … He had just made the same discovery!
”What is this?” Looking at the ancient looking, rusted key in her palm, Zhuang Diandian said with disdain, ”Isn't this too stingy!”
Mr. Zong pursed his lips, ”Girl, don't you not know what's good for you! This is the old gramps most valuable treasure! ”
”I don't want it, you keep it.”
Seeing Zhuang Diandian actually return from the fort, the Mr. Zong became anxious, ”That won't do! You have to keep it! ”
Aiya, what the heck! You even brought people to collect things?
Zhuang Diandian became stubborn, and just as she was about to display her tenacity, she was stopped by Xi Shangyun, ”Old Gramps is kind to me, even if it's a little shabby, you should still accept it.”
Zhuang Diandian blinked, looked at him, then looked at Mr. Zong, and finally received it with great difficulty. ”Alright.” Hanging the key on his chest, Mr. Zong looked at it, his mouth finally revealing a relieved smile, and said meaningfully:
”This is the only one in this world. You should keep it well. In the future, I will naturally need to use it. ”
Xu Shaoting, who was behind him, was completely shocked, and in the end, couldn't help but admire him as well.
Mr. Zong was indeed not an ordinary spicy plant!
The key that would make people want to buy him, was actually carried by him! Treasure Seeking or hiding in an underground cave was just a stunt to scare people!
Because no one would believe that he would be able to get such an important thing into a bunch of keys and walk it everywhere!
Zhuang Diandian didn't think too much about it. After taking it, she tied it up with the Demons Slaying Sword and the little fishbone.
”What is this?” Mr. Zong looked at the fish bone with his sharp eyes, and the expression in his eyes immediately changed.
”Fish bone!” Zhuang Diandian immediately approached her mysteriously, ”Old Gramps, you must have never eaten the little fish in the underground cave before! That's a delicacy! ”
Just thinking about it made Zhuang Diandian salivate.
Hearing that she actually ate the fish, Mr. Zong's head tilted to the side and he laid on the table, ”Aiyo … ”My heart …”
This time, he really was in pain.
Xi Shangyun and Xu Shaoting brought Mr. Zong back to his room, he then spoke out, leaving behind two people, ”This time's incident was not an accident, among those few elders, there must be someone doing it secretly, it's just that I have not found out who it was.”
He sighed and said, ”The offering ceremony is over, you can all go back now.”
After waving his hand, he lay back down. ”Aiyo …” Ouch … ”My heart hurts …”
Xi Shangyun wanted to ask something, but was stopped by Xu Shaoting, who indicated for him to talk after they got outside.
He nodded and followed him out the door. When he arrived at the door, he could vaguely hear the Mr. Zong's Shen Yin, ”My fish …” My Fish... ”Aiyo, my heart …”
As the two of them walked out of the village, Xu Shaoting turned his head and asked: ”I know what you want to ask. Come on, follow me, that woman has been caught. ” After taking two steps, he stopped again. ”However, it's best if you're mentally prepared …”
