Chapter 286 - 286 Meteorite

286 Meteorite

The old man caressed the stone lovingly and was a little reluctant. However, he quickly raised his head and looked at Guo Guo lovingly. His other hand patted Guo Guo’s head gently to comfort her.

“Guo Guo, be good. The stone is no longer important. What’s important is you.”

Guo Guo held back the tears that were about to well up in her eyes. She turned around and sniffed hard.

“I don’t need it. Take the stone back yourself. I’ll solve my own illness. I have money. I’m afraid she doesn’t care about this stone at all. I can give her the money she wants.”

If she still had to sacrifice what her grandfather loved to treat her illness, what was the use of learning hacking skills to earn money?

Gu Man looked at the two of them whose eyes had turned red and couldn’t help but interrupt them. “Although I can’t tell what this stone is, at least let me know what it is. I’ll decide if I want it or not.”

“No, you can’t…”

“Guo Guo!”

Guo Guo was halfway through her sentence when she was stopped by the old man’s stern shout.

The old man handed the stone to Gu Man and touched it reluctantly.

“Actually, this stone has a special origin. It’s also very ordinary, but my son once discovered it beside a meteorite. Unfortunately, he’s no longer around, and this stone has become my only thought. However, I keep feeling that this stone is not ordinary, but after so many years, everyone says that it’s just cobblestone.”

Gu Man played with the stone. Although its surface looked smooth and bright, when she touched it carefully, the surface of the stone was still a little rough.

However, the meteorite in the old man’s words piqued her interest. Usually, anything related to a meteorite was good.

“Didn’t the country arrange for someone to take the meteorite away?”

Usually, when a meteorite appeared, the country would immediately arrange for someone to be present. How could they let the son of the person in front of them pick it up?

“It was a coincidence. At that time, my son was in the wilderness. The red light in the sky was brighter than the aurora and more beautiful than the light. Then, there was a dazzling red light. There was a huge tremor dozens of kilometers ahead. He said that the scene at that time could not be described with words, but he rushed over immediately. Perhaps it was because of this that his body deteriorated in the end and he could not hold on.”

At the mention of his son, a hint of sadness appeared on the old man’s face. He sighed and continued, “Of course he knew that such a thing had to be handed over to the country, so he only took the fragment of the meteorite. According to his description, although it was powerful at that time, only a little darkness could be seen in the middle of an empty crater.”

The interest in Gu Man’s eyes intensified. She looked at the stone in her hand and then looked at the other stones in the bag.

“And these are?”

The old man looked back at the other stones in the bundle and shook his head. “No. That’s the cobblestones I picked up from the river. To confuse the eye.”

Hearing the old man’s explanation, Gu Man was speechless and did not know what to say.

She opened her mouth, but in the end, she placed the stone on the bed.

It was good, but without spiritual power, it was not very useful to her.

“I have no use for this thing. If it has special meaning to you, you should keep it for yourself.”

Gu Man would not take away what people loved. Moreover, this stone was no different from a pebble by the river to her.

The old man looked at the stone on the bed. His lips trembled. He stood up in a panic.

“Miss, don’t be in a hurry to refuse. I still have something good here. Just wait.”

With that, the old man walked to the side. Gu Man quickly stopped him.

“Since I agreed to the treatment, I won’t go back on my word. Don’t be nervous.”

The old man could not hear Gu Man’s voice at all. He rummaged through the drawer in a panic until he took out a stone that was twice as small as the stone just now.

This stone looked no different from the stone just now, but its surface was glowing with a faint red light.
