634 Not Over

When Little Niu’s figure appeared, Chen Xing rubbed his eyes and immediately revealed an ecstatic expression. He cheered in surprise. “Brother Xiao Niu is back.”

“Mother, Auntie, Sister Xiaolu, come out and take a look. Brother Niu is back. I knew it. Brother Niu won’t go back on his word. A gentleman never breaks his promise. Brother Niu won’t lie to me.”

When Little Niu returned, Chen Xing was extremely excited.

After cheering loudly, he ran towards Little Niu and hugged him tightly.

“Brother Niu, are you hungry? I saved you a roasted sweet potato. Try it quickly. It’s delicious.”

As if presenting a treasure, Chen Xing took out a roasted sweet potato that was still warm and placed it in Little Niu’s palm.

Little Niu smiled gently and reached out to stroke Chen Xing’s hair. He said, “It must be delicious. Thank you, Little Xing.”

Little Niu peeled the sweet potato and started eating. It was sweet and soft, and the sweetness entered his heart.

Chen Xing was still worried that Little Niu would be cold, so he placed the warm leather water bag into Little Niu’s arms. “Brother Niu, keep this in your arms. You won’t be cold anymore.”

Chen Xing looked up and asked expectantly, “Brother Niu, is it sweet?”

Little Niu smiled. “It’s very sweet. Thank you, Little Xing.”

Su Xiaolu and the others also came out. Su Xiaolu walked to Little Niu’s side. “Junior Brother, are you done?”

She thought that Little Niu had already left without saying goodbye. Seeing that Little Niu had returned, she was really happy. Perhaps it wouldn’t be long before they would really separate. It was just that as long as they were not separated, she would continue treating Little Niu well.

Little Niu smiled slightly and said, “I still need some time.”

When he returned to the Su residence, Little Niu had a hot meal.

The Su family did not ask much. They only cared about him in the details.

Madam Zhao even personally made cotton coats for him. Before Little Niu fell asleep, Madam Zhao brought them over for him. They were not heavy, but they were very warm when worn. Little Niu touched the dense stitches and the cloth of different thickness.

He said softly, “Auntie, this coat is a little unusual.”

Madam Zhao said gently, “Xiaolu said that your perception is very good. Did you sense that this is made of the Hundred Family Cloth? I think you should be able to use it.”

They looked like patches, but in fact, they had asked many families to contribute.

Little Niu smiled and nodded. “Thank you, Auntie. It’s very useful to me. Thank you.”

There was some power on the cotton coat that warmed his body and mind.

Madam Zhao got up and returned to her room.

Little Niu slept with his clothes on. On a cold winter night, it was the first time he felt that his body wasn’t so cold.

There were many things that he actually did not tell Su Xiaolu. After this, his fate had changed a lot. Because of the entanglement between Miao Yuehua and Su Xiaolu, Xiao Yi had inherited karma. A portion of his fate had returned to him. In the next twelve years, he would starve and freeze much less.

He only needed to maintain a balance. During this period of time in the Su family, there was clearly an imbalance. This imbalance would be replaced by another. Therefore, even though he was sleeping on a warm bed, he still felt cold.

However, it was different today. This cotton coat had the power of faith of many people and it could help him resist the cold.

His Senior Sister was his destined benefactor.

He was already satisfied with what she had done for him. After this matter was over, he would bid farewell properly and walk the path he should take.

On the second day of the New Year, Su Xiaolu and her family went to the Qi Residence.

Su Xiaolu dragged the two masters along. General Qi was also a good drinker. There must be some good wine in the residence.

Old Wu agreed when he heard about the wine.

Gui You snorted coldly. “Useless.”

Su Xiaolu smiled and said, “Master Gui You, you forged a weapon for Cousin Xingfeng for free. Let’s go over together and see if there’s anything good to compensate you. Besides, we’re already there. You’ll be very bored at home alone.”

Gui You rolled his eyes. He was not bored.

“Master Gui You, come, come.”

Su Xiaolu wheedled.

Gui You felt a chill down his spine as he pulled out his sleeves. “Shut up, you’re so annoying, I’ll go!”

Damn it, this move was clearly useful to the old man. Why was he a little overwhelmed?

How did this brat control him so tightly?

Chen Shi, Chen Xing, and Little Niu also went together.

General Qi was very happy. He immediately asked the servants to bring out the good wine.

Qi Xingfeng pulled Su Xiaolu, Little Niu, and the others to the storeroom.

Qi Xingfeng smiled in embarrassment and said, “Xiaolu, see if there’s anything in the storeroom that doctor Gui You likes. Take it and pass it to him for me. Thank him for forging a huge axe for me. It’s too useful for me.”

“The competition with Chu Jin this time was very sensational. The emperor even rewarded me with some good things. Whatever you like, just take it.”

Qi Xingfeng couldn’t hide the joy on his face.

But he would not forget that the reason why he had glory was related to Su Xiaolu.

Su Xiaolu cured his impetuousness and honed his patience. She even gave him the best and most suitable weapon in the world.

He did not know how to repay her.

Su Xiaolu revealed a money-grubber look. “Thank you, Cousin. I won’t stand on ceremony then. I have to take more stuff then.”

Qi Xingzhi couldn’t hold his liquor well, so he slipped away after a few drinks.

He went to the storeroom to see what Su Xiaolu had chosen.

Su Xiaolu stopped in front of a stone the size of a bronze mirror. Qi Xingfeng smiled and said, “This stone was discovered in Changzhou. It’s not jade, but it’s very strong. It can’t be broken or chiseled. The magistrate over there is a good friend of my great-grandfather and gave this stone to him.”

“If Xiaolu likes it, take it. Great-grandfather studied it for a period of time, but later on, he couldn’t do anything about this stone, so this stone had been placed in the storeroom for many years. At first, he would look at it occasionally, but later on, no one was interested, so he left it there.”

Qi Xingfeng told Su Xiaolu where the stone came from.

When Su Xiaolu’s hand touched the stone, she felt something in her heart. Information about this stone would appear in her mind.

The Interface Stone was located at the intersection of the two worlds. The Interface Stone was used to separate and isolate the two worlds and could not be damaged. If the Interface Stone collapsed, the two worlds would fuse and its use would only be to repair the interface.

Su Xiaolu let Little Niu touch it.

Little Niu stretched out his hand and touched it. He frowned and said, “This stone is very special. My feelings are very vague and I can’t describe it, but it must be extraordinary.”

“Cousin, ask your great-grandfather if I can study this stone.” Su Xiaolu thought for a moment and decided to study it first.

Qi Xingfeng immediately waved his hand and said with the stone in his arms, “There’s no need to ask. The old man has already said that you can choose whatever you want from the storeroom. This thing has been in the storeroom for so many years, and there are no exceptions. I’ll pack it up for you.”
