In fact, at first, she thought it was this fake Maomao that harmed her Maomao.

But later, she discovered that every time the child looked at her, his eyes were so tender and gentle, with regret, guilt, and a little cautious expectation...

And all kinds of cautious probing and approaching...

Like a little animal growing up in the mountains, it instinctively seeks warmth and dependence.

It makes people want to be good to this child from the bottom of their hearts...

After that, she never doubted again.

It is said that the eyes are the windows to the soul. How could a child like this be a bad person?

In addition, one night after that, Grandma Tao accidentally heard him mumbling in the direction of the mountains:

"Baimaomao, your grandma is a very, very good grandma. I like her so much... She baked sweet potatoes for me today. I have never eaten sweet potatoes so sweet. They are so sweet that they go straight to my heart..."

"I'm sorry I couldn't save you... If only I had found you earlier..."

"By the way, did you find your parents and grandpa down there? ...Are they okay now?"

"Don't worry, I will take good care of your grandma on your behalf..."

"When your grandmother dies, I will bury her with you, and let your family be reunited in the underworld..."

"If possible, when I can't hold on any longer, can I go to the underworld and look for your family?"

"Do you... mind having one more person at home?..."

That night, Grandma Tao listened silently outside the window for a long time, with tears on her face that never stopped.

The next morning, she was as normal as ever, except that she was even more kind to the fake Maomao.

Such a good child.

How cruel must the parents be to abandon her?

Ye Zhiqiu looked at the tears in Grandma Tao's eyes, bit his lower lip, and couldn't hold back any longer. He buried his head in Grandma Tao's hands, and tears kept falling.

"Grandma, I'm sorry! I'm sorry!... I didn't mean it..."

He didn't know how to explain it to Grandma Tao, but he really cherished the short period of time between them.

In his entire life, this was the first time he felt the word "family" in Grandma Tao. What was it like?

It is a kind of trust, care and pampering without any reason.

Make him so greedy.

And reluctant.

Feeling the wetness on the back of her hand, Grandma Tao felt a pang of pain in her heart. She tremblingly reached out her other hand and touched his head.

"Good boy, don't cry, don't cry... Grandma knows everything... knows everything..."

"No matter where we go from now on, you will always be grandma's good child. Grandma loves you, ah..."

She has lived for most of her life and is buried up to her neck in the earth. How could she not see it?

This child is feeling very miserable.

It's as bitter as Coptis chinensis.

She is dragging her now frail body, and she would love him for one more day if she could.

……

After Anina finished explaining the matters abroad, she hurried back the next morning.

As soon as she arrived in the capital, she had a secret discussion with Fu Shaozhong.

As for the content of the negotiations, no one knows the specific details except the two parties involved.

Jiang Rubao only met his travel-tired master after they finished their conversation.

As soon as Anina saw him, she reached out and grabbed his wrist, and when she felt his pulse, her face darkened.

He gritted his teeth and said, "You are a little too brave, you little brat. How dare you?"

It was not easy to find such a satisfactory apprentice.

She was really afraid that if she didn't look carefully, this kid would lose her life.

"Don't think about anything now. Come back to the Goddess Cliff with me first..."

Jiang Rubao was stunned for a moment.

He didn't expect that before he even opened his mouth, his master would offer to take him back.

Does the master know how much she will have to pay for this?

Seeing his stunned expression, Anina poked him hard on the forehead and said unhappily, "Isn't it a little late to worry about it now?"

"Master!" Jiang Rubao's eyes were a little moist, "I... I'm sorry, I..."

"Okay, stop talking, I know everything..."

Anina knocked on his forehead again and said helplessly: "I won't blame your grandfather. He did nothing wrong. If he hadn't acted decisively and chosen to fight poison with poison, I'm afraid I would have no choice but to collect your body when I came back this time."

"Don't worry, Master knows what's going on and won't ignore your life or death..."

Anina had actually told Jiang Rubao earlier that the stone fetus in the forbidden area actually has another function.

No matter what kind of poison you are infected with, Shitai can cure it.

It’s just that their goddess clan needs to pay an extra hefty price.

And after that, the stone fetus must rest for at least three months and cannot generate new holy water.

Because the cost was too high, Jiang Rubao had never thought of this method before.

The master treated him with great kindness.

He cannot let his teacher down.

However, this time, there was really no other way out.

What was in his body was not just one kind of poison, but dozens of complex poisons.

It is conceivable that if all the secrets were truly revealed, how great a price would the Goddess clan have to pay?

After this, how long will it take for the stone body to be restored to its original state?

But Anina didn't even think about it and wanted to take him back...

Jiang Rubao felt so touched that he felt he had nothing to repay her for her kindness, and...

"Master, I'm sorry! I can't go back with you..."

"What did you say?" Anina was really angry this time, and pointed at him fiercely, "Jiang Xiaobao...don't tell me you really don't want to live anymore?"

"No, Master, you misunderstood. I cherish my life very much... It's just that the poison in my body cannot be cured for the time being... The one who goes back with you to cure the poison this time is not me, but Ye Zhiqiu..."

Anina frowned at him unhappily, "Xiaobao, you are my disciple. For you, no matter how much our Goddess clan has to pay, I can bear it..."

"But what does Ye Zhiqiu have to do with me? Why should I save him instead of saving my own disciple?"

"Do you know that if you detoxify him, Shitai will no longer have the energy to detoxify you..."

"Master, please listen to me first. It's like this..."

Jiang Rubao leaned close to Anina's ear and told her his plan in detail.

Finally, he stepped back and looked at Anina with clear eyes.

"Master, tell me, is my plan more reliable, less sacrificial, and can kill three birds with one stone?"

"Don't worry, as long as Ye Zhiqiu is detoxified, Grandpa will be able to extract all the anti-toxin factors from him..."

"This is actually not much different from detoxifying me first... I'm just a step late..."

"Master, please promise me..."
