Chapter Thirty-Nine: Roots of Kindness

Outside the east gate of the capital, there are beautiful mountains and clear waters, and outstanding people.

On the rugged mountain road, Bai Chen and Guo Sankuo, who was carrying a big red box, walked on foot one after the other.

After walking a long way on the mountain road, when the fat man stopped, Bai Chen was taken aback by the straw hut in front of him.

In the yard, a group of children in rags were laughing and playing while driving away the geese.

When they saw Guo Sankuo, they all ran over ecstatically.

"Big brother, you're back!"

The little boy in the lead flew straight into his arms, and then rubbed his dark face vigorously against his fat body.

"Heiwazi, didn't I say, you have to be careful with everyone, can't you let them drive away the geese!"

"I..." Hei Wazi lowered his head in aggrieved manner, his little hands twisted together, as if he was afraid of being punished for doing something wrong.

Staring at the red spots on his face, Bai Chen's face darkened.

"This is... the poison spot!"

"Hmm." Guo Sankuo put the red box in the yard, squatted down, and distributed the apples he bought at the market one by one to the children who came, and then sighed softly: "These children are orphans. The people from Hades Sect were arrested to test the poison, luckily I rescued them by chance, but the poison in their body, I have asked many doctors and they said that there is nothing they can do about it.”

Pluto Sect...

Thinking of the former ghost village witch, Bai Chen's face became more and more gloomy.

For him, there is no boundary between good and evil.

However, when he heard what happened to these children, an uncontrollable anger still inexplicably arose in his heart.

He didn't know it himself, it was because the former owner of his body was an extremely kind-hearted... waste material.

Affected by it, now he also quietly sprouted a ray of kindness in his heart.

"Big Brother, Little Douzi has a high fever again this morning."

Hearing this, the silly smile on Guo Sankuo's face froze, and he hurriedly followed the children to the hut.

When he came to the simple room, Bai Chen saw them gathered around the bed, a little girl with ponytail was lying on the bed, her face was red and her lips were pale.

"Big Brother, do you think Little Douzi will..." Hei Wazi was choked with sobs and dared not speak any more.

"No!" Guo Sankuo gritted his teeth, and said with a serious face: "Don't worry, with Big Brother here, none of you will die!"

After covering Xiaodouzi with the quilt, Guo Sankuo stood up suddenly, and said awkwardly to Bai Chen, "Well, I might have to buy some herbs first, aren't you in a hurry?"

"Is this the reason for your poverty?" Looking at the apologetic fat man, Bai Chen smiled lightly.

Hearing this, Guo Sankuo bowed his head and remained silent.

Over the years, he has risked his life to go to the Hengduan Mountains many times, picked up all kinds of herbs and weapons, and set up a stall in Wanbao Ancient Street. All the money he earned was used to buy medicines for these children to prolong their lives.

Therefore, he himself is reluctant to eat meat, and has two steamed buns with vegetarian stuffing every day, and he himself is reluctant to wear clothes. The cloth clothes on his body are already covered with patches.

This kindness is exactly the same as that of the former owner of Bai Chen's body.

"Do you think that relying on herbs to extend your life is a long-term solution?" Bai Chen said suddenly.

"I know it's not a long-term solution, but to completely eradicate their poison, only a pharmacist can do it! I'm just a young spirit, how can I invite someone with such a noble status!"

Guo Sankuo was also desperate.

Getting along with the children has already made him regard these children as family members invisibly, but he is helpless in the face of their bodies becoming increasingly haggard.

"It's just a pharmacist, leave it to me."

Bai Chen's words stunned the sad Guo Sankuo.

Coming to the bed, Bai Chen took out a jade bottle from his waist, poured out the black medicine inside, and put it into Xiaodouzi's mouth.

"etc--!"

Seeing the three-flat and four-out-of-round pitch-black pill, Guo Sankuo hurriedly called a stop.

"I know, you doubt whether this is a elixir or not. It was actually refined by a friend of mine who is a pharmacist. Although the grade is a little lower, it is still no problem for detoxification and healing."

When he left Yancheng, Xia Daotian gave him three detox pills, but he didn't expect that they would come in handy so soon.

Seeing Bai Chen's serious side face, Guo Sankuo gradually sat back, and inexplicably developed a faint trust in him.

After taking the elixir and waiting for a while, Xiaodouzi's complexion really improved, and the symptoms of fever also eased a lot.

"Haha, I really went out to meet a noble person. I didn't expect you to have a friend who is a pharmacist!" Seeing this, Guo Sankuo was overjoyed, and looked at Bai Chen with more respect and kindness.

While the two were chatting, in the woods outside the courtyard, two men in black poked their heads to look around, with a hint of ruthlessness in their eyes.

"He has been in with that fat man for so long, why is there still no movement?" one of the men in black asked.

"I don't know, you stay here and continue to monitor him, I will inform the young master right away!"

The other person gradually withdrew his gaze and let out a cold snort.

However, just as he turned around, he saw a young man with a faint smile on his face, and his face turned pale with shock: "Since when did you...!"

His exclamation made the man in black who was staring into the distance turn around quickly, and when he saw the disdain in Bai Chen's eyes, he was shocked.

"Who are you?" Bai Chen asked in a flat tone.

"You don't need to know this!"

One of them stabbed fiercely with the scimitar in his hand, and a silver light shot directly at Bai Chen's neck.

Facing the sudden light of the knife, Bai Chen shook his head lightly, and with a random movement of his palm upwards, he firmly grasped the machete in mid-air.

"boom!"

Bai Chen's fierce punch hit the man in black's chest, and the fierce force shattered the black clothes on his chest.

A mouthful of blood flew across the air, like a kite with a broken string, he flew far away, landed on the ground and rolled a few times, lifeless again.

One hit kill!

Seeing this scene, the other man in black quickly put down the scimitar in his hand, knelt down with a plop, and kowtowed.

"Hero, hero, spare your life!"

At this time, after calming down the other children, Guo Sankuo also came from the fenced yard, first cast a sideways glance at the man in black lying in a pool of blood, then turned to the kowtowing man, grabbed his clothes like carrying a small Pick him up like a chicken.

"Ah, hero, I was wrong, please forgive me—"

Suddenly picked up in the air, the man in black panicked and begged for mercy.

"Tell me, are you the dog leg of Hades Sect!"

Guo Sankuo let out a roar of thunder, which made the man tremble with fright, and there was a ringing in his ears.

"Brother, you have been wronged, little one, how can the little one be a member of the evil sect!"

When people face death, they often dare not lie.

Especially, a cowardly person!

Staring at his terrified look, Bai Chen smiled, and said lightly: "You, you should be from the National Teacher's Mansion, right?"

As soon as these words came out, the man in black stared fiercely, and shrank his hands unconsciously into his sleeves.
