C365 A stone

"I have money, I have money, we're just here to eat, why don't you let us in!" The old man hurriedly said, while protecting the little boy with one hand and grabbing a silver coin with the other.

"Tsk, a mere silver coin is enough to earn money. I'm afraid you won't even be able to buy dregs. Billowing, where are you going? If you dare to come in again, I'll break your legs!" A shop assistant warned.

Today is my grandson's birthday. He has always wanted to eat your dishes, so I'll have to trouble you to sell me a plate at a cheaper price, even if it's just leftovers! The old man begged.

Although he really couldn't buy anything with this one silver coin, he and his grandson had saved up for a whole month just to have a taste of the dishes here.

"Old thing, are you deaf? If I tell you to scram, then scram. Where did all this nonsense come from?" Another guy threatened while holding up a stick.

Seeing the two waiters in such a state, the old man looked at his grandson and helplessly shook his head.

"Lin, let's go!" As the old man spoke, he decided to leave with his grandson.

"Old grandpa, please wait a moment!"

However, at this moment, a beautiful figure appeared at the restaurant's entrance. She hurriedly called out to the pair who had left in disappointment.

Hearing someone call out to him, the old man quickly stopped and turned around.

"Old grandpa, I heard what you said just now. Little brother, do you want to eat the food here? It's okay, big sister will treat you. Let's go, come with big sister!" Lan Caier said, and then, he extended his hand and held the small, dirty hand.

"Halt!"

But just as Lan Caier was about to bring the little boy into the restaurant, two servants suddenly blocked her path.

"Sir, you can go in, but not this little beggar. His appearance will affect the appetite of the other guests, so please forgive me!" A shop assistant said.

Indeed, no matter if it was the old man or the little boy, the two of them did indeed look a bit dirty. Moreover, if they were near, there would be a stench coming from them.

If they were to enter the restaurant, it would indeed affect the appetite of others.

"Little girl, forget it. Little Lin, quickly thank this kind elder sister. Let's go!" The old man said this to Lan Caier before dragging his grandson away again.

As he watched the two figures of an old man and a young woman gradually grow further and further away from the restaurant, Lan Caier's eyes became moist, because at this time, she once again thought of her own grandfather.

Ever since she was young, she had been living with her grandfather. Although her life was much better than this grandfather-grandson pair, it was still a bit touching.

"Caier, do you want to give this little boy a birthday!?" Just as Lan Caier was feeling sad standing at the entrance of the tavern, Lu Feng walked out.

"En!"

Lan Caier nodded slightly. She herself had never had a birthday, so she was naturally clear on the desire a child had for a birthday.

"Let's go, we'll celebrate this little boy's birthday for him!" Lu Feng chuckled, then left the restaurant with Lan Caier.

"Grandfather, I'm hungry!"

When the grandfather and grandson walked into the northernmost alley of Dragon Slaying City, the little boy let go of his grandfather's hand and stood where he was with a wronged expression.

"Lin, grandpa will buy some steamed buns for you later!" The elder looked at his grandson and softly said.

"Grandfather, Lin'er doesn't want to eat steamed buns, Lin'er wants to eat delicious dishes, grandpa will go buy some for Lin'er, ok?" The little boy said coquettishly.

"Lin'er be good, I'll definitely let you eat those delicious dishes on your birthday next year." The old man comforted him softly.

"Grandpa is lying, grandpa is evil!" The little boy was a bit angry as he heard this.

"Little brother, how can you say that about your grandfather!"

However, at this time, a familiar voice came from outside the alley.

Hearing this voice, the little boy and the old man looked towards the mouth of the alleyway. At this moment, a man and a woman walked in from outside.

"Elder sister?"

Seeing Lan Caier, the little boy was slightly stunned. But out of instinct, he still retreated behind his grandfather.

"Young lady, I wonder why you have come …" The old man looked at Lan Caier and asked.

"Old grandpa, the two of us would like to celebrate your grandson's birthday. I wonder if you would like to welcome us!" Lan Caier said with a friendly smile.

Ah!

Hearing this, the old man was stunned. He even suspected that he had misheard.

"Sis, are you really here to celebrate my birthday!?" While the old man was still stunned, the little boy opened his eyes wide in anticipation.

"Lin'er, don't be rude!" Seeing his grandson like this, the old man quickly reminded him.

There was a man and a woman who were not related to them, so how could they have come to celebrate their birthday for no reason at all?

But if they had a plan, what was it?

With this thought, the old man relaxed his guard against the two people in front of him. He didn't have anything worth plotting anyways, so he naturally didn't need to be on guard.

Just like this, the old man brought Lu Feng and Lan Caier to their residence.

"Old grandpa, this is the place where you and little brother live?" When Lan Caier saw that they were living in a dilapidated room, she could not help but ask.

"Yes, this place is already abandoned, so no one will be able to get here." As the old man spoke, he cleaned up the weeds on the ground and before long, a relatively clean piece of land appeared in front of Lu Feng and Lan Caier.

"Little brother, can I trouble you to step aside for me? Big brother will make you something delicious!" When this piece of clean ground appeared, Lu Feng said to the little boy who was standing on it.

"Delicious!"

Hearing these words, the little boy's eyes lit up. In the next second, he hurriedly jumped to the side while revealing an expression of anticipation.

"Come out!"

After the little boy left, Lu Feng muttered to himself, and immediately took out the several dishes that he had stored in the Sumeru Mustard Seed.

"Wow!"

When a few delicious dishes appeared in front of the little boy, he immediately cried out. Wasn't this the delicacy that he had yearned for in his dreams?

"This …"

The old man looked at the dishes on the ground and was slightly stunned.

Although he didn't know the price of these side dishes, he knew that he definitely wouldn't be able to afford even one plate of these dishes with just one silver coin.

"Young man, this is too much. You should keep these plates, as long as you have one, it will be enough!" The old man said.

"Old grandpa, these dishes are specially prepared for you. If you don't want to eat them, then I can only throw them away!" Lu Feng said helplessly.

"Ah! Throw it away! Throwing away such good dishes is such a waste!" The old man shouted.

"Grandfather, grandfather, I want to eat, I want to eat!" After the old man cried out, the little boy was already itching to have a taste.

However, without his grandpa's permission, even if these side dishes were placed in front of him, he wouldn't dare to touch them.

The old man looked at his grandson's eager expression, affectionately patting his son's head and said, "Lin'er, since this is the birthday feast big brother has prepared for you, then eat it!"

"It's true!"

Hearing his grandfather's agreement, the little boy, who couldn't wait any longer, hurriedly picked up a plate.

"How fragrant!"

The little boy first took a deep breath as he held the side dish in his hand. Then, he slowly picked up the side dish and put it in his mouth.

"It's so delicious!"

When the little boy carefully savored the delicacy in his mouth, his eyes immediately lit up. This was a delicacy that he had never tasted before in his life.

"Grandfather, this is so much more delicious than steamed buns. Grandpa, you try it too!" The little boy shouted excitedly.

"Lin'er, eat first. Grandfather will go inside to get something to eat!" "Yes," the old man said, and went into the room.

"Grandfather, hurry up and come out, or else I'll eat it all!" When he saw his grandfather walk into the room, the little boy cried out. He looked at the dish in his hand, but didn't move it.

"Little brother, why aren't you eating!" Lan Caier looked at the little boy who was gulping down his saliva nonstop, but was unable to resist and asked.

"I want to eat with grandpa. If grandpa isn't here, then I can't eat either!" The little boy licked his lips.

"It's alright, if you eat it all, big brother will go and buy some more for your grandpa!" Hearing the little boy's words, Lu Feng lightly smiled.

But even after Lu Feng said that, the little boy still did not make a move, until his grandfather came out from the room once again.

"Young man, thank you for helping me fulfill my promise to Lin'er, I don't have anything precious to give you, this stone was found in a river by chance, I think it's pretty nice, so I brought it back for Lin'er to use as a toy, if you don't mind, I'll give it to you now!" As the old man spoke, he passed a stone in his hand that was wrapped in a black cloth to Lu Feng.

"Old grandpa, there's no need to be courteous. Since this is little brother's toy, how can I accept it?" Lu Feng refused.

This grandfather-grandson pair was living such a poor life, how could take their things again. Even if it was just an ordinary stone, Lu Feng wouldn't be able to take it.

"Lu Feng, you can refuse to accept this stone, but you have to ask the old man where he obtained it from!" Just as Lu Feng finished speaking, Mu Xiao's voice came out.

"Priest, why are you asking this question?" Lu Feng was a little puzzled.

"Carefully feel this rock!" Mu Xiao said.

"Oh?"

Lu Feng's brows slightly raised, and he immediately listened to Mu Xiao, seriously feeling the stone in front of him.

"This …"

He did not know, but the moment he felt it, Lu Feng was really shocked, because he realized that the stone actually contained pure spirit energy.
