Chapter 520: Previous Life Fairy World Extra Story Three:_2
But after searching for quite a while at the place where he and his brothers were working, he found no trace of the magic sword.
What happened? Did the sword fly away?
Not only him, Jiang Dalang and Jiang Erlang who also came out to search with him were equally puzzled. After searching every corner within two miles, they still couldn’t find it.
Just when they were at a loss, Jiang Sanlang suddenly thought of something and turned back home.
By this time, his little daughter was already asleep, snuggling with a fluffy flying rat.
Jiang Sanlang didn’t make a sound and carefully tidied up the room.
He wanted to put the cultivators’ daily items back into the storage bag, but since he was not blessed with the luck of the immortals, he couldn’t put anything into it.
He could only wait until his little daughter woke up.
The three brothers deliberated for a long time before deciding to leave the spirit stones to Yingbao.
Since she possessed the ability to cast spells, she definitely needed these things. Now, for their own safety, they had to support her unconditionally and help her become stronger.
In addition to the spirit stones, they also found several books on mental methods of cultivation. Unfortunately, they couldn’t understand any of it.
These characters were different from ordinary text. Every single one was like hieroglyphics. Jiang Sanlang flipped through them a few times before tossing them into the pile of spirit stones for his daughter.
He thought that once they had saved up to forty thousand gold coins, he would definitely send his daughter and wife to live in the county town.
No, forty thousand gold coins would not be enough. They would also need to buy a small house in the county town, so they could settle down. If their family were to enter the city, they could also rest there.
But how are they going to earn so much money? His parents hadn’t managed to save even ten thousand gold coins in their whole lives, let alone twenty thousand or more.
The beast meat and mid-level spiritual medicine they got from the beast tide last year only sold for more than four thousand gold coins. Together with their previous savings, the total was less than five thousand gold coins.
However, the stroke of good fortune from last year was hard to come by. The Jiang family had only encountered it once in many years, and it was all thanks to their little daughter.
“Big Brother and Second Brother, why don’t we sell one of the storage bags? Together with all these odds and ends, we should be able to make up to twenty thousand gold coins. Then we can buy a household registration in the county town.” Jiang Sanlang suggested to his two brothers, “Yingbao has a talent for cultivation. We might as well send her to a college in the county town for study. Then we can have someone to rely on in the future.”
Jiang Dalang and Jiang Erlang had no objections, but this needed the approval of their parents, after all, they were the ones holding the money.
When the three brothers told their parents, the old Jiang man and his wife had no objections either.
If they could have a cultivator in their family, people would give them a few extra considerations when they sold goods in the city. They would even get a higher price. This was an unwritten rule.
However, Erlang’s wife was not happy. She quietly grumbled to her husband in the evening, “Why should we buy a household registration for a child who was picked up? Our Huzi is almost four years old. In two or three years, he can go to the city to check if he’s got the Immortal Fate. If he does, all the family money was given to the adopted child. Isn’t that holding back my Huzi?”
Jiang Erlang frowned, disapprovingly, “What do you know? If it weren’t for Yingbao today, our entire family would have been finished.”
Leng Family’s lady snapped, “If it weren’t for her, how could our family have provoked people from Vermilion Bird City?”
“You shut your mouth.” Jiang Erlang was a bit angry, angrily reprimanding, “Those cultivators from Vermilion Bird City, any who see medicinal herbs collectors want to rob them. Who dares to provoke them? Leng, remember, Yingbao saved our family’s life, and all the money is earned by Yingbao. You’d better not make light of serious matter. Also, don’t gossip about our family’s affairs to your family, or you will invite disasters.”
Being harshly criticized by her husband, Leng’s face lost all colour, and she was even more unhappy. However, she didn’t dare to speak out now.
In a blink of an eye, several months had passed. Yingbao had learned to walk, often running into the vegetable garden to pull out vegetables, and sometimes she even ran into the nearby woods with the small flying rat.
This scared Chunniang, who then decided to always carry her daughter on her back to prevent her from running around.
Yingbao was unhappy, but after her unsuccessful resistance, she could only wait for her father to come back.
One day, the village organized people to go into the forest to pick herbs. Yingbao clung to her father and refused to let go. “Bao wants to go! Wants to go!”
By nature, she loved to roam in the wild and disliked being carried on her mother’s back. So, she insisted on going to play in the forest with her father.
Jiang Sanlang, having no choice and considering that his daughter could open the storage bag, was tempted.
If he brought the storage bag for gathering spiritual medicines, he could definitely bring back more.
The team also often encountered cultivators’ robberies. If that happened, all the hard work of a month or two would be in vain.
