Chapter 94: The Awakening of Local People (1st update)
As soon as Yinshi arrived, Old Man Li woke up.
The plague chicken at home didn’t crow, so maybe it was dead, so it’s time to eat meat.
There are diseases when you are alive, but you are not sick when you are dead. Diseases will only haunt living things. Dead things look scary, but they are actually quite delicious.
Slowly walking to the chicken coop, Old Man Li supported the wall with both hands, stepped on the soil and stood on tiptoe. With his only good eye, he tried hard to look at the chicken in the chicken coop, and found that the chicken was lying on the ground, also looking eerily. Look at yourself.
"You're not dead...then why don't you crow?"
Looking at the chicken in confusion, Old Man Li found a huge tumor hanging from the chicken's neck and knew that the chicken had a new disease.
Being able to get a new disease means that there is still vitality in the body and you will not die for the time being.
Sighing, Old Man Li had no choice but to return to the yard and continue to suffer.
The eldest son's daughter-in-law had been coughing all night, and now she finally stopped for a while. Listening to the coughing sound at night always makes people feel itchy and makes them want to cough.
The younger son's arm was injured and there was no way to treat it. Now his arm is covered with purple carbuncles and he can only endure it.
Disease energy especially likes fresh life. Young and strong people are alive and have more disease energy. A slight bump will lead to a lot of problems.
As we get older and decayed, our illness becomes invisible. If you can live to be fifty or sixty years old, the good life will really begin, and you can be considered to be living well in this world.
Therefore, when the older generation takes care of the sick younger generation, they always say: "Be patient, bear with me a little longer, and you will be comfortable when you are my age."
Sitting on the chair, Old Man Li wanted to sing a few songs. This opera is about singing about the good times from long ago, but I always feel that it is unrealistic to sing it.
I heard that a long time ago, people would get sick, but not as seriously as they are now.
Young adults live a comfortable life. They can go up the mountain, go into the water, and sit next to each other on the sunny grass.
They are like the wind, like clouds, like the rushing river, like the weeds on the roadside. It doesn't matter how they act, they will still be lively and vigorous the next day.
Old Man Li wanted to believe that such good times had existed, but his two sons didn't believe it, and neither did his two daughters-in-law.
They are still young and ignorant, and do not know what people need to believe in order to have hope and survive.
Yawning, Old Man Li felt a little tired.
He felt quite light, his bones didn't hurt, his body didn't feel cold, and he was no longer sick.
"Oh, it turns out that I am the one who is going to die today."
Closing his eyes, he was not afraid, only felt comfortable.
But gradually, he felt something was wrong.
The feeling on his body became more and more comfortable, even making him a little hungry.
They don't feel hungry when they are sick, but their elders will force them to eat something, otherwise they will definitely die.
Most of the food needs to be handed over to the city lord, and the remaining food can only be eaten mixed with black mud. It is dark and has no taste. It is edible but not delicious, and it is not full.
Only when the animal is dead can you secretly add a meal. The fragrance makes even the children on the bed want to take a bite.
In the past, eating was just a job, but now, he felt like something was screaming in his stomach, asking him to quickly find something to eat.
Opening his eyes, he saw a man and a woman standing opposite him.
There are no tumors on their faces, and their skin is tender and smooth. The men are expressionless and the women are taciturn, but they all look very good-looking.
Seeing that he was awake, the man took back the purple light in his hand and said with emotion: "Old man, did you know that you almost died just now?"
Looking at the other party in confusion, Old Man Li couldn't help but ask: "Are you two black and white? Now? The black and white impermanence is so beautiful?"
"No." The man immediately waved his hand, "I am a heretic, and this is my companion, Mu Kui 1234. My Mu Kui doesn't like to talk, but is very reliable." "
... I thought your name was weird enough, so why is your companion's name even weirder?" "
That's not important. We are healers from the Moral Mutual Aid Guild. We are here to save people and gain merit. Do you know what kind of moral corruption is nearby? We are going to use them to experiment with something." Just as
Old Man Li was about to answer, a violent coughing sound came from the side room next door.
Hearing the cough, the evil outsider shuddered and jumped into the side room in a few steps. He was as fast as an agile wild dog and felt an indescribable joy.
Then, he saw purple light blooming in the room, and the sick energy in the air was shaken out. Old man Li was frightened to see it.
What is this man’s background?
What did he do!
He hurriedly walked forward and found that his daughter-in-law was asleep on the bed, with a relieved smile on her face.
The child in her arms also seemed particularly calm. The usual crying and fussing situation did not appear, and even the yellowish color on his body had faded a lot.
"Okay, I have dispelled their illness, but they should come back after a while. I will give you a prescription, and you just need to take the medicine according to the prescription every day." "Do you
also think they are rich? "Mu Kui 1234 sighed.
"Oh, yes. It doesn't matter, Mu Kui A Meng, I want to exchange my merits, help me change money!"
"Don't waste your merits, okay? And can't you just exchange them for goods?"
"Didn't I just make a fortune? And there is still a lot of merit left from the previous one. After adding up the points, there is still a lot left."
Then, he looked at the total amount of his merit and said happily: "Ten merit, just enough to help me open my clairvoyance... Isn't that right? Is it just a mini map! The game "The Doctor" is really amazing. The system functions actually require accumulated merit to unlock, but it is really helpful. Oh, you can also see the health bar, well done! 20,000 merit can open the mini map and health bar , this can be shared with the group."
Mu Kui 1234 looked at the outsiders displeased and said: "Comrade, please don't always say those strange things in front of the people here."
"It's okay, I quite like watching them. After all, I am not a role-playing player, I am a fun-based player." A
role-playing player means that in the world of "The Healer", everything he says and does is consistent with the identity of a doctor, and strives to fully integrate into this world.
However, fun players like to seek different ways to play, and strive to break the constraints brought by the game system and find more happiness in the game.
Games should be played with a smile. As for whether other people laugh or not, I can't do anything about it.
Mu Kui 1234 sighed again.
These outsiders are sent by the Great God to save the world. They are all very talented and learn things quickly. They can also help repair the world and drive away diseases, and they only need to return merit.
However, his temperament is also very strange. For example, the heretic in front of him always does some inexplicable things.
If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't choose her partner, she really wouldn't want to act with him.
There is no such thing as being taciturn, I just don't want to talk to you.
Following the heretic's instructions, Mu Kui 1234 directly exchanged the finished medicinal materials and handed them over to Old Man Li.
After receiving these drugs, Old Man Li's first reaction was not gratitude, but fear.
In this world, there is no affection between people, and the nearby city lords are just hanging on to their lives to keep them alive to provide disease energy.
How could someone be so kind and come to help with treatment?
Holding the medicine, Old Man Li hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't figure out why they helped him, but he didn't dare to ask.
No matter how good-looking they are, they might be cruel and ruthless on the inside, and they will kill themselves if they are unhappy at all. My old body really can't stand the torture.
Just when Old Man Li was hesitating, there was a knock on the door.
Unlike these feeble old guys and sickly young people, the other party's knock on the door was solid and powerful, with an air of arrogance and unreasonableness.
When nothing came, Old Man Li had a feeling.
The other party came for the evil heretics and Mu Kui.
Asking them to hide in the dilapidated side room, Old Man Li walked forward tremblingly, opened the door, and saw three strong detectives rushing in.
They are also young and strong, but there is no disease in them.
In their arms, everyone is wearing a piece of sapphire, which the city lord spent a lot of money to invite from the Demon Lord Temple, which can exorcise evil spirits, eliminate disasters, and resist the intrusion of diseases.
However, the effect of sapphire is limited, it can only protect one person, and the magic power needs to be replenished every ten days, which makes the city lord need to follow the arrangements of the Demon Lord Temple.
In addition to not being sick, these agents can also eat meat and practice martial arts to polish their bodies. Each person can slaughter a village with a knife. Ordinary people are worse than chickens and dogs in front of them.
After opening the door, the leading detective pushed Old Man Li away, stood in the yard, looked around, and said, "I just saw a flash of purple light here. Do you have any clues?"
Old Man Li's heart skipped a beat.
Sure enough, he came here for the doctor.
After thinking for a while, he was about to answer when he saw a flash of purple light in the room, knocking out the sick energy in the air.
Then, the evil layman dragged his young son over and shouted: "Don't come over here! Come over and I'll kill him!" "
Humph, you're just a doctor, you actually want to imitate the gangsters and threaten us! No need to capture him alive, just chop him up. Die!"
Pulling out their swords, the police officers rushed forward and hacked the heretics to death with random swords.
Dragging the bloody corpse, the policemen turned and left. Before leaving, they threatened: "These doctors are all madmen. The Demon Lord Temple is very unhappy. You should not associate with them in the future. You were also taken for questioning." , but it seems that you are also being coerced. A plague chicken is just money to escape." The plague
chicken with tumors was taken away. When he left, his eyes were still looking at Old Man Li sinisterly.
Until the other party left, Old Man Li stood stunned for a while before waking up from a dream and hurriedly ran to his youngest son.
The younger son was thrown aside just as the commotion started.
I thought that the other party was going to suffer some minor injuries this time, but when I looked over carefully, I found that not only was he fine, but the injury on his arm was also much better. I guess it was the work of the heretic just now.
In addition, the younger son's forehead, which was originally burning, is no longer burning. The son who regained consciousness opened his eyes, looked at Old Man Li, and uttered his first words in three days.
"Dad... I'm hungry..."
"Oh, dad is looking for food."
"No, I brought it." A
familiar voice sounded, making Old Li's hair stand on end.
Turning his head, he saw Xiemenhe Dao and Mu Kui 1234 standing behind him, holding the food they had just exchanged for their morality.
The smell of blood is still in the air, and the blood on the ground has not dried yet. Old Man Li just watched helplessly as the other party was hacked to death and dragged away, but now he acts like a perfectly fine person.
Covering his mouth, Old Man Li controlled his throat tightly, and it took him a long time to calm down a little.
Trying to control his voice, he asked tremblingly: "Are you, are you a human or a ghost?"
"No, I am a doctor."
"Are all doctors ghosts?"
Looking at the horrified old man Li, the heretic said I couldn't help but save the screenshot of this scene, and then said to Mu Kui 1234 on the side: "Look, this is how you should play games. The reactions of these NPCs are really interesting!"
Mu Kui 1234 sighed again.
Looking at the top of her head, she began to think about when she could use up her merits and return to Heaven to rest.
It's really tiring to follow such a strange foreigner.
However, the other party has accumulated too much merit, and I can't leave even if I want to.
God, save me!
Although he was still very afraid of heretics, Old Man Li responded decisively at the critical moment.
He quickly closed the door, invited the two of them into the room, and closed the door again, feeling much safer now.
Looking at the food handed over by the heretic, Old Man Li hesitated again and again, but finally opened it and found that it was a bowl of steaming rice porridge.
The rice porridge is so thick that it won't fall over if you insert chopsticks into it. There are also chopped leafy vegetables and alternately fat and thin meat inside.
The porridge must have been simmered for a long time. The aroma of rice, meat and vegetables are mixed together, and it smells particularly attractive.
Smelling the fragrance, the youngest son opened his eyes again, staring at the bowl of porridge with misty eyes, his eyes full of longing.
At this moment, Old Man Li had a lot of questions.
For example, where did your porridge come from, and why is it still so hot?
You have obviously been hacked to death, why are you still here?
Who are you doctors? Why can you cure diseases, and why did the police arrest you?
But in the face of survival instinct, Old Man Li finally took the empty bowl, divided one third of the rice porridge out, and then sent it to his younger son.
Different from dark liquid food, rice porridge is delicious, with salt in it and sesame oil in it.
The meat is fat and lean, with a meaty flavor.
The instinct of life let the little son know that this is good food, so he ate the porridge with big mouthfuls and absorbed the nutrients.
Nutrients flowed into his body, like rain watering the barren land, nourishing his body and shining in his eyes.
After quickly finishing his rice porridge, the younger son subconsciously looked at the remaining porridge. He just wanted to beg for it, but he held it back.
Slowly licking his bowl all over, he even licked the rim of the bowl, and then reluctantly handed the clean bowl without any oil or water to Old Man Li.
"Dad, I'm full."
Old Man Li glanced at the remaining porridge.
He planned to distribute this to his eldest son's family, but the younger son was growing again, so these porridges were also very important.
Just when he was in a dilemma, the heretic reached out again and released a bowl of steaming rice porridge.
"Don't worry, I have plenty."
Old Man Li confirmed as another bowl of rice porridge appeared.
No matter if you are a human or a ghost, with these two bowls of porridge, I, Old Man Li, can give you my life!
