Chapter 232 The Delicious Food
Sanmao responded with a smile on her face, "That's right! I came here just because I smelled the delicious food at my grandparents' house. It seems like I can always come here at mealtime."
Mrs. Li and the others were thinking about asking Sanmao if there was anything important. The words were on the tip of their tongues, but Uncle Li at the side quickly stopped them and said, "Don't ask these questions now. It won't be too late to talk slowly after everyone finishes the meal. It doesn't matter if there's a little time."
Then, surprisingly, everyone finished their lunch in less than half an hour. The wives of the Li family, both big and small, quickly began to clean up the dishes. After a while, the table was clean as before, and they went into the kitchen together to work. At this time, only Mrs. Li, several uncles, and aunts were left in the dining room.
Upon seeing this, Sanmao hurried forward and told everyone in detail the whole series of events, including how Xiaocao had unfortunately fallen into the water and fallen ill a few days ago, and how the magical treasure bag had been taken away.
"What? Xiaocaoer actually fell into the water!" When Mrs. Li heard this, her face was immediately filled with shock and she asked anxiously.
"So many days have passed, why hasn't the condition improved?" Old man Li at the side asked worriedly, frowning.
"Have you asked a doctor to see the patient?" Uncle Li was also very concerned and couldn't wait to know the details.
Facing the barrage of questions, Sanmao took a deep breath and slowly answered, "As soon as we found Xiaocao'er fell into the water, we immediately asked a doctor to come and treat her. But after a few days, her condition has not improved significantly. Fortunately, we specially invited a Taoist priest to come to our house to take a look, and the Taoist priest said that she is not seriously ill."
Hearing this, Old Lady Li couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She nodded repeatedly and said, "That's good, that's good! It's a wise move to invite the Taoist priest. He can get rid of all those unclean things."
"Yes, I hope so. By the way, do you still remember that when Xiaocao was a child, he was able to take out food and other things?" Sanmao suddenly changed the subject and raised this question.
"It seems to be the case." Everyone echoed.
"Yes, I remember it now! At that time, Xiaocao was just born, and Dalang's wife didn't have enough milk. It was thanks to Xiaocao that she sent several cans of her own milk powder, which was a great help." Another person also recalled.
"Yes, yes, that's right! And, it was she who took out the packets of marinade that we used to make the marinade in the beginning." Someone else interrupted and added.
"That's right. Even the new quilt that our parents cover themselves with was brought by her. What's going on?" Everyone asked curiously.
For a moment, the voices of all people were intertwined, and the atmosphere seemed particularly lively.
At this time, Sanmao cleared his throat and repeated the Taoist priest's words to everyone: "The Taoist priest said that the place where Xiaocao can take things out is called a treasure bag. This treasure bag is a rare thing. It is said that Xiaocao got it by some special coincidence when he was born.
The bag contained some food and other items. Unfortunately, the items inside had been used up, so the fate between Xiao Cao'er and the treasure bag ended here. The reason why Xiao Cao'er fell into the water this time was actually because the treasure bag had to be taken back.
From today on, we must not mention anything about the treasure bag anymore, otherwise it might threaten our lives!"
"Is it so serious?" Old Lady Li asked softly in a low voice, with a look of astonishment on her face. Her eyes, which were originally small, were now wide open, and her face was full of disbelief.
Sanmao, who was standing by, also lowered his voice and answered, "That's right! The Taoist priest told us clearly that this matter could be a big or small matter. If we can successfully retrieve the treasure bag, it would be a great thing. So the Taoist priest repeatedly told us to keep this secret and not let any news leak out."
At this time, Old Man Li, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke. His tone was as cautious as the others': "Don't worry, no one in our family has mentioned anything about Xiaocao'er over the years." After saying that, he nodded heavily, as if he wanted to increase the credibility of his words in this way.
Hearing this, the aunts sitting nearby also followed suit. They nodded and said in unison: "Yes, yes, if you didn't tell us now, we would have almost forgotten about this matter!"
One of the aunts even slapped her thigh and shouted as if suddenly realizing something: "Oh my, that's exactly it! Now that you mentioned it, I really didn't react just now!"
Seeing everyone's attitude, Sanmao felt relieved, but then asked again: "Uncle, are you the only ones in the family who know about this? Have my cousins heard about it?"
To be honest, Sanmao felt quite at ease with her uncles and aunts. After all, this matter did not involve money, and Sanmao trusted these elders from the bottom of her heart.
