Chapter 44: Mission Completed
After entering the house, Old Man He was struck by the light of the fire. He was immediately pained and shocked. Could it be that the man with only half a breath was his apprentice? Immediately, he hurriedly injected the needle with the medicine. After doing it for a long time, his face showed a sad look, he shook his head sadly, and turned to Hu Huahao:
"This strong man helped a young disciple! The old man is very grateful!"
Lao Hu immediately got the prompt:
"The second step of the Tang Shou family's job transfer mission has been completed: rescue Langzhong Zhao from the Cao Army's barracks outside the city and hand it over to Old Man He."
"Old Man He's gratitude level increases by 100 points, and his additional gratitude level increases by 30 points."
"The third step of Tang Shou's job transfer mission: You can learn the secrets of learning ancient Chinese martial arts from Old Man He."
Old Hu was overjoyed after hearing this and hurriedly went to find Old Man He, but Fang Lin held him back, thought for a while and said:
"Since the setting of the degree of gratitude is mentioned here, then this thing must be useful. If my inference is correct, if Mr. Zhao was handed over directly to Old Man He, the degree of gratitude would only be one hundred points. After My arrangement gave me 30 more points of gratitude.”
What Old Hu couldn't forget was the hurdle of changing jobs. If he hadn't always believed in Fang Lin's plan, how could he have endured so much? I have long since broken free and gone to study. He suppressed the anxiety in his heart and said:
"What do you want?"
At this time, a bolt of lightning suddenly exploded outside the sky, lighting up the entire dark world, followed by rolling thunder. Fang Lin frowned and thought in his mind. Before he could speak, louder, louder. The raindrops fell directly down.
The word "thousands of holes" is quite appropriate to describe the roof of Old Man He's former residence, so less than two minutes later, white rainwater poured directly into the house. It might not be a big deal for a normal person to get caught in the cold rain. But if Mr. Zhao, who was already furious, would be doused in such a sudden manner, he would naturally die on the spot.
"Mr. Zhao can't die now." Fang Lin knew this very well, and told Lao Hu seriously at the same time: "At least until I finish using him, he can't die, even if he wants to!"
Fortunately, although this place is remote, it is still in the city. Soon, Lao Hu and Zhao Langzhong found the nearest inn. I just opened the door and went in. The sad old man He naturally limped behind.
Fang Lin used enough reward money to make the shopkeeper who was also the waiter shut his mouth obediently, and silently led them to the best guest room upstairs. Old He looked at the disciple lying on the bed with a sad face. Fang Lin pulled Old Hu to the side and whispered a few words. The two seemed to have a violent quarrel, and then Fang Lin slammed the door and walked out angrily.
Lao Hu strode to the bed and said in a deep voice:
"Maybe I have a way to revive him."
Old man He looked at him with tears in his eyes. There was a glimmer of hope in his eyes. Old Hu sighed in embarrassment, and under the astonished gaze of Old Man He, he took out an exquisitely shaped crystal vial (actually just a glass test tube). He poured the light blue liquid inside into the mouth of Mr. Zhao, who was dying of anger. Then Lao Hu said sadly:
"This thing is originally an otherworldly elixir found by my master. It has the miraculous effect of curing the dead and bringing bones to life. It is not something that can be found in the mortal world (this is true, it is something bought from the nightmare mark. It must be something like this in this world) No), Master's original intention is to provide me with more protection when traveling in the world. I only see that my father-in-law loves his disciples so much and is so benevolent that he should save people to the end, so let him use it."
Old Man He was overjoyed and immediately checked his apprentice's pulse. Sure enough, he felt that there was great improvement. However, after checking for a while, his face turned sad again and he said dejectedly:
"The injuries I suffered previously were too severe. Although my benefactor's elixir is miraculous, it only treats the symptoms and cannot cure the root cause. His life has been saved, but I am afraid that he will never wake up again in this life."
Lao Hu didn't expect that something like this would happen, and he was a little at a loss for a while. However, Fang Lin knew everything that happened inside through the kof contract, and suddenly sent a message:
"The effect of the medicine we gave him was to instantly eliminate the abnormality in his body, so the heavy bleeding in his body was stopped, but the lost blood could not be replenished in time, so he was put into a vegetative state."
Lao Hu was shocked and angry and sent a message in a depressed tone:
"Damn it. This expensive thing I bought with 1,000 points from the nightmare space has just gone down the drain!"
Fang Lin thought about sending the message and said:
"You try to feed me the food I cut?"
Old Hu did as he was told. But he soon told Fang Lin that it was ineffective. Fang Lin sighed and sent the message over:
"It seems that the things cut out of such special plot characters are ineffective. Only high-end medicines purchased with points from the nightmare space can be effective. Feed him that small bottle of comprehensive recovery potion."
(Note: A small amount of comprehensive recovery potion, an A-level prop, instantly restores all states and 1/3 of physical strength. The interval between uses is 72 hours. The purchase price of Nightmare Space is 5,000 points and 1 potential point. It disappears after the death of the wearer. --------The property of disappearing after death determines that this thing cannot be obtained through killing).
Lao Hu was startled and said in an unusually firm voice:
"Don't even think about it. Damn it, it's not cost-effective at all. I'll have to rely on this thing to save my life in the future."
Fang Lin thought about it carefully and said firmly:
"Here. Trust me!"
Lao Hu muttered for a while, hesitated for a while, and then took out the small amount of lavender comprehensive recovery potion, which was still very painful, and wanted to drink it for Zhao Langzhong with a solemn expression. At this time, Fang Lin suddenly rushed in from outside, grabbed his hand, and said loudly with a serious face:
"Master said this thing is related to your life! Are you crazy? Use it on this person!"
Lao Hu was just about to say ok, then there's no need, but when he saw Fang Lin's lustful eyes, he could only say feebly and painfully:
"No! This is a human life!"
Fang Lin secretly kicked him hard and said through a message:
"Silly! Be more righteous! Pretend to be more likeable!"
But he said anxiously:
"If you give him this soul-returning water, what will you do if you can't pass the hurdle of practicing in three months? Your life is not life!"
Lao Hu could only say righteously:
"I can't worry about so much about the future. Saving people is the most important thing."
Then he waved his hand, and Fang Lin fell out with an ouch. The old man He next to him was so anxious that he was moved to tears but didn't know what to say. Seeing that the extremely expensive small amount of comprehensive recovery potion was poured down, the doctor Zhao finally groaned and came to his senses with a reaction. Old Man He was surprised and happy, and he was about to kneel down and kowtow with tears rolling down his face. How could Old Hu, who was in pain, allow him to repay this debt of gratitude so easily? Stop it quickly.
At this time, the nightmare mark gives a prompt:
"You saved Dr. Zhao, and Old Man He's gratitude has increased by 150 points. The total gratitude has been raised to the upper limit."
After waking up, Dr. Zhao drank a bowl of rice porridge, and then fell asleep again, snoring evenly. At this time, even Fang Lin, who had no medical skills, could tell that he was fine. Old man He took the initiative to ask:
"The elixir you just drank for your apprentice seems to be very important to Mr. Reneng?"
Hu Huahao seemed to be very "honest" and said with a long smile:
"Little things are not very important..."
In fact, my heart was bleeding... Fang Lin took the opportunity and said "sadly":
"My brother has actually been practicing outer martial arts. At that time, his master said that he would practice outer martial arts but not inner martial arts. Unless he could learn the authentic inner martial arts skills, he would vomit blood and die at the age of forty. . So I left this bottle of soul-reviving water for him in case of emergency. He is about to turn 40 in three months, but this..."
Old Man He nodded and said with enlightenment:
"No wonder this young master worked so hard and went through all kinds of twists and turns to find the true biography of Wu Qin Xi. I really misunderstood you before!"
Fang Lin sighed:
"It's too late to say anything at this time. Although there are only three months left, I can't just sit back and watch him die. I can only race against time to continue searching for the authentic internal martial arts techniques. Without further ado, let's leave now. The rent has been paid in advance for three months, which is enough to support Brother Zhao’s recovery.”
After dragging Hu Huahao away, Old He said hurriedly:
"Wait a minute."
He lowered his head and smiled bitterly for a while:
"I also ask my two benefactors to forgive me. In fact, I told lies before. The Five Animals Opera was handed down from the pre-Qin period. Hua Tuo just sorted it out. Because I was not born to practice this technique. There is no way to protect yourself, Therefore, he didn't dare to reveal his secret skills in order to avoid being coveted by evil people and causing death. Now that he saw that the two of them risked their lives for the sake of his apprentice, and even took his own life-saving elixir, how could he dare to use his secret skills again. If you cherish it, you should give it to everyone.”
