The Shen family waited for a long time, but no food appeared inside the iron pot.
Wang Juhua rolled her eyes, looked at Old Man Shen and Old Lady Shen, and said, “Father, Mother, why don’t we all try and see if the Pot Immortal will give us grain?”
She had long been unable to stand Old Man Shen and Old Lady Shen always saying that this little girl, Shen Xihe, was a little lucky star.
If she could make the Pot Immortal present grain, she could rely on the grain given by the iron pot to make a fortune, and at that time, everyone in the Shen family would have to cater to her!
Hearing this, Old Man Shen and Old Lady Shen hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
No matter who could ask for grain from the Pot Immortal, it would allow the Shen family to avoid having to starve any longer.
…
Every single person in the Shen family took turns bowing in front of the iron pot, praying that the iron pot would grant them grain.
However, the iron pot remained completely still without the slightest reaction.
Wang Juhua was the last person to pray to the iron pot, but no matter how she prayed, no food appeared inside it.
She instantly felt that the food that had appeared inside the iron pot earlier might not have been given to them by any iron pot at all.
Rather, a chivalrous hero who robbed the rich to help the poor had passed by the ruined temple, saw that their family was on the verge of starving to death, and tossed a bag of rice into the iron pot.
Furious, Wang Juhua kicked the iron pot over with one foot and said in anger, “This iron pot isn’t any Pot Immortal at all, it’s just a broken iron pot!”
None of the rest of the Shen family expected Wang Juhua to do such a thing, and shocked expressions appeared on all their faces.
Seeing the iron pot kicked over, little Xihe hurriedly ran to the front of the iron pot on her short little legs, helped the iron pot up, and, imitating the way Old Lady Shen blew on her when she fell, blew on the dust-covered iron pot.
“Iron Pot Brother, it doesn’t hurt, it doesn’t hurt, Guibao will blow on it for you…”
Just as little Xihe’s words fell, a whole bag of rice suddenly appeared inside the previously empty iron pot once again!
Lu Zhuoyuan held the pot and stared at it for a long time, but did not see the disappeared bag of rice reappear inside the pot.
He asked the nanny to help him move the pot into the room where he lived, and also asked the nanny to carry a bag of rice to his room.
The nanny did not think much of it, assuming that Lu Zhuoyuan was using the pot and rice as toys.
After all, although Lu Zhuoyuan had autism, he was also just a three-and-a-half-year-old child, and didn’t all children like playing house?
…
After Lu Zhuoyuan returned to his room, as soon as he closed the door and stayed in the room by himself, he heard a little girl’s voice coming from inside the pot.
On his tiny face was immense confusion; he stared at the iron pot for a long time, not daring to draw close.
Next, that little girl’s voice disappeared, turning into other people’s voices. Lu Zhuoyuan was even more afraid to draw close, only daring to watch from a distance away.
It was not until the iron pot stopped making sounds that he took short little steps and slowly walked over to the side of the iron pot.
Just as he reached out his hand to touch the iron pot, he heard a “bang,” the sound of something crashing onto the ground.
Lu Zhuoyuan subconsciously wanted to cover his ears, but before he could cover them, he heard the childish, delicate voice of that little girl from before.
“Iron Pot Brother, it doesn’t hurt, it doesn’t hurt, Guibao will blow on it for you…”
Guibao, was that the name of this little girl who was speaking?
Iron Pot Brother, who was that?
Lu Zhuoyuan opened his mouth, but still did not utter any sound.
He thought for a moment, used all his strength to push over the bag of rice placed nearby, and made that bag of rice fall right inside the iron pot.
After that bag of rice fell into the iron pot, it vanished completely in an instant…
Sure enough, this iron pot was a magical iron pot!
Just like in cartoons, perhaps it connected to another world!
That little girl named Guibao should be a person from that other world!
She seemed to have said just now that her family didn’t have enough food to eat; this bag of rice should be able to let her family eat their fill, right?
The members of the Shen family had originally all thought that the iron pot would not give them food anymore, but unexpectedly, after little Xihe held the iron pot and blew on it twice, another full bag of rice actually appeared inside the iron pot!
It seemed that this “Pot Immortal” was only willing to grant food to their family’s Guibao!
