"Tch, a mere silver coin is considered money. I'm afraid you can't even buy dregs. Roll, roll, go, stay where you are. If you dare to come in again, I will break your legs!" One of the shop assistants warned.
"Alright, alright. Today is my grandson's birthday. He has always wanted to eat the dishes here. I'll have to trouble you to sell me a plate at a cheaper price. Even if it's just leftovers, it's fine!" The old man begged.
Although one silver coin was really not enough to buy anything, this was the money that he and his grandson had saved up for a month. It was all for the sake of eating the dishes here.
"Old thing, are you deaf? If I tell you to piss off, then f * ck off. Why do you have so much nonsense to say?" Another waiter raised a stick and threatened.
Seeing the two workers like this, the old man looked at his grandson in his arms, then helplessly shook his head.
"Lin Er, let's go!" As the old man spoke, he planned to take his grandson and leave.
"Grandpa, please wait a moment!"
However, at this moment, a beautiful figure appeared at the entrance of the restaurant. She hurriedly stopped the grandfather and grandson who had left in disappointment.
Hearing that someone seemed to be calling him, the old man hurriedly stopped in his tracks and turned around to take a look.
"Grandpa, I heard what you said just now. Little brother, do you want to eat the dishes here? It's fine. Elder sister will treat you. Come, follow elder sister!" As Lan Caier spoke, she stretched out her hand to grab the dirty little hand.
"Stop!"
But just as Lan Caier was about to bring the little boy into the restaurant, two waiters suddenly stretched out their hands to block her way.
"Customer, you can go in, but this little beggar can't. His appearance will really affect the appetite of other customers, so please forgive him!" One of the waiters said.
Indeed, whether it was the old man or the little boy, their appearances were indeed a bit dirty, and if they were close, there would be a stench coming from their bodies.
If they entered the restaurant, it would indeed affect the appetite of others.
"Little girl, forget it. Lin'er, quickly thank this kind-hearted older sister. Let's go!" The old man said to Lan Caier, then once again pulled his grandson and left.
When she saw the old and young figure gradually leaving the restaurant, Lan Caier's eyes became slightly moist because at this time, she thought of her grandfather.
One must know that she had been relying on her grandfather since she was young. Although her life was much better than this pair of grandfather and grandson, it was still somewhat touching.
"Caier, do you want to celebrate this little boy's birthday!?" While Lan Caier stood at the entrance of the restaurant quietly feeling sad, Lu Feng walked out.
“ En!"
Lan Caier nodded her head lightly. She had never celebrated a birthday before, so she naturally knew the desire of having a child celebrate a birthday.
"Let's go, then let's celebrate this little boy's birthday once!" Lu Feng laughed lightly, then left the restaurant with Lan Caier.
...
"Grandpa, I'm hungry!"
When the grandfather and grandson walked to the northernmost alley of Slaughter Dragon City, the little boy let go of his grandfather's hand and stood on the spot with a wronged expression.
"Lin'er, grandpa will buy you a few steamed buns later!" The old man looked at his grandson and softly said.
"Grandpa, Lin'er doesn't want to eat steamed buns. Lin'er wants to eat delicious dishes. Grandpa, can you buy some for Lin'er?!" The little boy said in a spoiled manner.
"Good girl, I'll wait for your birthday next year. When the time comes, Grandpa will definitely let you eat those delicious dishes." The old man comforted him in a soft voice.
"Grandpa is lying, grandpa is bad!" The little boy was a bit angry when he heard this.
"Little brother, how can you say that about your grandpa!"
However, at this moment, a familiar voice came from outside the alley.
Hearing this voice, the little boy and the old man both looked towards the alley entrance. At this time, 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.
"Miss, I didn't know that you came for..." The old man looked at Lan Caier in puzzlement and asked.
"Grandpa, the two of us want to celebrate your grandson's birthday. I don't know if you are welcome!" Lan Caier smiled in a friendly manner.
"Ah!"
Hearing this, the old man was stunned. He even suspected that he had misheard.
"Elder sister, are you really here to celebrate my birthday!?" While the old man was stunned, the little boy widened his jet-black eyes, revealing a bit of anticipation.
"Lin'er, don't be rude!" Seeing his grandson like this, the old man hurriedly reminded.
The man and woman in front of him were not related to them, so how could they possibly celebrate their birthday for no reason?
But if they had ulterior motives, then what were they planning to do?
After thinking about it, the old man relaxed his vigilance towards the two people in front of him. Anyway, he had nothing worth them plotting, so he naturally did not need to be on guard.
Just like that, the old man brought Lu Feng and Lan Caier to where they lived.
"Grandpa, you and little brother live in this place?" Lan Caier couldn't help but ask when she saw them living in the dilapidated room.
"Yes, this place is already abandoned, so no one will rush us to live here." As the old man spoke, he cleaned up the weeds on the ground. Not long after, a clean piece of ground appeared in front of Lu Feng and Lan Caier.
"Little brother, please make way. Big brother will make something delicious for you!" When this clean piece of land appeared, Lu Feng said to the little boy standing on it.
"It's delicious!"
Hearing these three words, the little boy's eyes lit up. In the next second, he hurriedly jumped to the side, and at the same time, a look of anticipation appeared in his eyes.
"Come out!"
After the little boy left, Lu Feng muttered to himself. Then, he took out several dishes that he had kept in his Sumeru Mustard Seed.
"Wow!"
When a few delicious dishes appeared in front of the boy, he immediately cried out loudly. Wasn't this the delicacy he dreamed of eating?
"This..."
The old man looked at the several dishes on the ground and was slightly stunned.
Although he didn't know the price of these side dishes, he knew that a silver coin in his hand definitely wouldn't be enough to buy even one of them.
"Young man, there are too many. You should keep these few plates. As long as there is one plate, it will be enough!" The old man said.
"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 them away. It's such a waste to throw away such good dishes!" The old man shouted.
"Grandpa, grandpa, I want to eat, I want to eat!" After the old man shouted, the little boy was very eager to have a taste.
But without his grandpa's permission, even if these dishes were placed in front of him, he wouldn't dare to touch them.
The old man looked at his grandson's eager expression and intimately rubbed his head, saying, "Lin'er, since these are the birthday banquet that big brother prepared for you, then eat it!"
"Really!"
Hearing his grandfather's agreement, the little boy who could not wait any longer hurriedly picked up a plate.
"It smells so good!"
The boy first took a deep breath at the side dish in his hand, then slowly used his hand to take a little bit of it and put it into his mouth.
"It tastes so good!"
When the little boy carefully savored the delicacy in his mouth, his eyes immediately lit up. This was a delicacy he had never tasted before in his life.
"Grandpa, this is much better than a steamed bun. Grandpa, you should try it too!" The little boy shouted excitedly.
"Lin Er, you eat first. Grandpa, go inside and get something out!" The old man said, then went into the room inside.
"Grandpa, come out quickly, or I'll eat it all!" The little boy shouted when he saw his grandpa walk into the room. He looked at the dishes on the plate and didn't move.
"Little brother, why don't you eat!" Lan Caier looked at the little boy who kept swallowing his saliva but did not move again and could not help but ask.
"I want to eat with grandpa. If grandpa is not around, I can't eat either!" The little boy licked his lips and said.
"It's fine. If you finish eating, big brother will buy some for your grandpa!" Lu Feng heard the little boy's words and lightly smiled.
But even after Lu Feng said so, the little boy still did not make a move until his grandpa came out of the room again.
"Young man, thank you for helping me fulfill my promise to Lin'er. I don't have anything valuable to give you. I picked up this Rocky by chance in a river. I saw that it was pretty, so I brought it back to be a toy for Lin Er. If you don't mind, I'll give it to you now! " As the old man spoke, he handed a piece of black cloth, which was wrapped by Rocky, to Lu Feng.
"Grandpa, you don't have to be so polite. Since this is my little brother's toy, how can I accept it?" Lu Feng refused.
This grandfather and grandson lived such a poor life. How could he take their things? Even if it was an ordinary piece of Rocky, Lu Feng would not accept it.
"Lu Feng, you can choose not to take this Rocky, but you have to ask where this old man got this piece of Rocky from!" Just as Lu Feng finished speaking, Mu Xiao's voice rang out.
"Priest, why do you ask this question?" Lu Feng was a little puzzled.
"You can feel this piece carefully. Rocky will know." Mu Xiao said.
“ Oh?"
Lu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly. He listened to Mu Xiao's words and carefully sensed Rocky in front of him.
"This..."
Lu Feng didn't know if this feeling was real or not, but it really scared him, because he found out that Rocky actually had a pure spiritual energy in his body.
