Chapter 12: Exchanging for Super Rice (Part 2)

  Seeing that there were two fewer incense burners on the top of the Duobao Pavilion, it was easy to notice. Anyway, stealing once is a start, and stealing twice is also stealing, so why not steal everything? In exchange for some more rice seeds. Changsun Chong didn't do things halfway; he took all the things from the top of the Duobao Pavilion and put them on his bed, lying among these antiques, and easily entered the space.

  The old man with a white beard had been waiting here for a long time, holding a small purple sand pot and drinking tea leisurely.

  Coming in again, Zhangsun Chong felt that it was more comfortable here than last time.

  "Ah, young man, you've arrived! Thanks to the treasure you brought, our time energy has been replenished in a timely manner. The air here has also improved." The old man with white beard said with a smile, seeing that his great-grandson was puzzled.

  "Never mind, old man, hurry up and take a look at what I've brought. How many super rice seeds can it exchange for? There are people waiting to be rescued outside!" Chang Sun suddenly remembered that it was already the fourth watch of the night, and there wasn't much time to waste!

  Hua Wu took her grandson to change the water rice, replacing all the water rice seeds inside, and some time energy points were left over.

  "What good seeds do you still have?" Changsun Chong didn't want to take them out.

  Hua Wu couldn't bear to take out the things that had already been brought in, and hurriedly smiled and said: "When the Earth disappeared back then, we only managed to bring this little bit of rice seeds, and a small bag of super corn!"

  Super paddy rice is awesome, super corn must be just as good!

  After measurement, the energy points were just right. Zhangsun Chong carried a small half bag of seeds and a small package of super corn seeds and was sent out of space.

  The upper floor of the treasure pavilion was empty, and in half a time, it would be dawn. At that time, everyone would know that something was missing. Stealing antiques from home is something that can only be done once. The next time, not only will you worry about being caught, but also worry about being asked about the whereabouts of these antiques. He didn't have a good excuse, and it would be another big trouble.

  Directly say using antiques in the end of the world space to exchange for rice seeds? No, it's too fantastical, Old Zhang Sun won't believe it.

  Hide the good stuff, use a super rice seed and a super corn seed exchanged for a treasure, Long Sun Chong took the inkstone, knocked it on his own head, pretending to be self-inflicted, saying that he was robbed by thieves.

  Chang Sun's eyes flashed golden stars, just now his strength increased, not only did he bleed, but also dizzied, and before he even reached the bedside, he fainted and fell to the ground.

  Xiao Mantou and Xiao Baozi brought in hot water, preparing to serve the eldest grandson as he got out of bed. As they pushed open the door, "Ah......" The two people's shrill cries were almost able to pierce through the clouds. The two people's washbasins flew out of their hands.

  "Little Bao, hurry and tell the mistress that our home has been invaded by thieves! Young Master has been beaten unconscious!" Little Mantou, who was bigger than Little Baozi, regained his ability to speak and immediately instructed.

  Xiao Baozi ran with his short legs, shouting all the way: "It's bad! Our home has been robbed and our young master has been beaten!"

  Others seeing Xiao Baozi like this, seemingly not fake, also followed, running and shouting. By the time they arrived at Duan's courtyard, there were already several dozen people following behind Xiao Baozi.

  Dong's family had just finished washing up when they heard a commotion outside, and asked: "Mei Xiang, go ask what's going on?"

  Mei Xiang went out and heard Xiao Baozi's words, so she hurried over to report.

  Dong Shi was shocked to hear that Zhang Sun Chong had been knocked unconscious, and her body swayed, almost falling over. Fortunately, Mei Xiang was by her side and supported her, or else she would have really fallen to the ground and gotten hurt!

  "Madam, I've already sent someone to fetch the doctor. You must pull yourself together, there are big and small matters at home that require your decision!" Meixiang hastily advised, hoping that Doushi would regain her composure.

  Dong Shi was originally a gentle yet firm woman. After the initial panic, she quickly calmed down and rushed to Zhang Sun Chong's courtyard.

  Dong's family helped Rong Zomg onto the bed and used a clean towel to gently wipe his wounds.

  Chang Sun Chong woke up to the repeated calls of Duan's family, and in a daze, the doctor arrived, took his pulse, prescribed medicine, and fed him a large bowl of bitter medicine, after which he fell asleep again.

  By afternoon, his stomach was growling with hunger, and Zhangsun Chong finally woke up.

  His head was already bandaged, and Sunzi sat on the edge of the bed, intently watching him, occasionally wiping the sweat from his forehead, bringing back to Changsun memories of when he was a child, being taken care of by his mother in past life.

  "Mom, I'm fine, nothing's wrong." Zhangsun said awkwardly, after all, this was his own doing, and it wasn't right to let the people around him worry.

  Dong's wife wiped away her tears and sobbed, "Son, did you see what that thief looked like yesterday? Your father has already sent people to chase him everywhere, and the guards in the mansion have been flogged. You were beaten, and things in the house were stolen. Those useless things, I don't know..."

  Chang Sun-chung felt uneasy when he heard that someone was beaten because of his lie.

  "Mother, don't cry, I'm fine now! The person was masked, I didn't see clearly, they just wanted money, not to really kill me! That person's lightness skill is very high, stole so many things, and no one noticed, it can be seen that it's not an ordinary person who can catch them." Chang Sun comforted, hoping not to make a big deal out of it, nor did he want anyone to suffer because of him.

  Dong's mother scolded, "With skills like yours, you didn't learn something good, but instead became a thief. What a waste! Poor my son, your old wounds haven't healed yet, and now you've added new ones!"

  Chang Sun rushed to see Dou Shi and was about to cry, so he quickly changed the subject and asked: "Mother, how is the locust disaster outside?"

  Indeed, as soon as the locusts were mentioned, Duan's family sighed and said: "Now the court has mobilized the people to catch locusts, and there are fewer locusts outside. According to your method, the people have something to eat for the time being, but the crops in the fields are ruined. I don't know if they can survive this winter."

  Chang Sun Chong's heart ached, and he said: "Mother, don't worry, the Emperor is wise and just, Father and the other ministers are handling things fairly, we will definitely get through this difficult time."

  Dong Shi saw Zhang Sun Chong speaking sensibly and felt delighted, saying: "My son has come to understand things, he knows how to care about the state's major affairs."

  "Mother, my son used to be mischievous, but from now on he will turn over a new leaf, study hard and make progress every day. He will never again bring shame to his parents." Zhangsun Chong felt extremely ashamed when he thought of the last time he had gotten into a fight with Cheng Yaojin's sons after drinking flower wine.

  "Good, good!" Madam Du was overjoyed and burst into tears!

  "Mom, I feel that the past was spent in a daze, but now I want to understand and start anew. There are many things to attend to at home, and I'm not much help, so I thought of going to our family's farm to stay for a while and calm my mind!" Changsun suddenly remembered that their family already had super seeds, and since it was still early June, they could plant another crop of rice and corn.

  He stole so many things in exchange for something that is already worth sending back to him.

  Dongfang Shuo was embarrassed and said: "Your injury hasn't healed yet. Once you arrive at the Zhuangzi, where can you be more comfortable than at home?"

  "I just want to breathe some fresh air outside, besides, you said it yourself that I'm sensible now. Mother, give me a fertile piece of land and let me go manage it."

  "What can you do about the Zhuangzi? You'd better stay at home and study! If your father finds out, he'll beat you again." Duan's wife didn't let up, thinking that this useless son of hers was getting more and more out of hand.

  Chang Sun rushed to see Dou Shi, not loosening his mouth. His eyes turned around, and a plan came to mind. He said, "All of you go out. Xiaomantou, Xiaobaozi, the two of you guard at the door ten paces outside, don't let anyone approach."

  Dongfang Shuo saw his son was in a trance and thought that his son's headache had recurred.

  "Chong er, how could you?"

  "Mom, I'm fine! My son just lied to you. He's going to tell you the truth about last night." Zhangsun Chong pulled out a small bag of rice seeds and corn from the closet. "Mom, actually, that person didn't take our things for nothing yesterday. He left me these good seeds, saying they have high yields, and now is just the right time to plant them."

  Dong's wife was suspicious and uncertain, so she grabbed a handful of rice from her pocket and examined it carefully. "This grain is bigger than usual," she said, "but it's not that unusual! You must have been cheated, or else you wouldn't have gotten beaten."

  "It was actually my fault for accidentally hitting that thief, and it ended up hurting myself. If that person wanted to harm me, I would have been dead long ago. Besides, if this rice seed is fake, that person wouldn't have gone through the trouble of stealing it with a big bag of rice seeds. So I believe that person didn't cheat me, Mother. Anyway, since I'm injured now and can't study, why not let me go to the farm to try it out? It's just letting your son understand farming and cultivate his character." Changsun Cheon continued to cover up one lie with countless other lies.
