The charcoal fire in the stove made a roaring sound.
Sitting in front of the coffee table, Xue Yun felt on pins and needles and felt a little uncomfortable all over.
The weird old man was sitting opposite him, wearing a thin white vest, and he was taking the pulse of Taomu Enchantress in a serious manner...
That’s right, just take your pulse!
This old guy is like a senior Chinese medicine doctor, putting one finger on the wrist of the weird beauty and shaking his head constantly.
What the hell!
How can you still play like this?!
Xue Yun was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat...
With the biological armor, he could stop Xue Yun from slashing with his bare hands. The person who dared to do this last time was Beigong Mu...
This old man is not an ordinary blacksmith as the townspeople call him.
He is obviously a veteran night watchman who lives here in seclusion!
"Well...it's not a big problem..."
With his eyes slightly closed, the old man muttered: "The mental center has been somewhat impacted, and it will be fine after a few days of recovery."
clatter--
Snapping his fingers in the air, the old man half-closed his eyes with a lazy expression.
The next moment.
Several short-bodied freaks with sinister features and sly eyes jumped out from the corner.
All of them are safety level lv2 wild shadow rats!?
One of the shadow rats carried a strange medicine box behind it.
I saw it tiptoeing towards the old man and bowing, taking out a pitch-black pill from the medicine box and handing it to Taomu Enchantress.
"Take this medicine, rest for a few days and you'll be fine..."
The old man waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Let's all disperse, I have guests to entertain here!"
All the wild freaks looked at each other, nodded quickly, and disappeared one after another.
"These freaks are..."
Staring in shock at the direction in which they disappeared, Xue Yun stammered in shock.
Obviously, these freaks are purely wild, not the old man's armed freaks, and have no contractual relationship with his self-awareness.
"They are all dying freaks that I rescued in the wild snowfields."
Facing the confused Xue Yun, the old man slowly began to boil water and make tea.
There was no trace of the biological force field leaking out during the entire process, and the momentum was completely different from the one when he took action just now.
"Although my place is not big, it is more than enough to house a few desperate freaks. They usually help me out, bring tea and water, and guard the house, while I provide them with food and shelter. It is better than continuing to live in the wild.
Living such a precarious life..."
Hearing this, Xue Yun turned to stone on the spot!
These freaks are all pets kept by old guys!
But this is not too new. Not all freaks are malicious to humans.
After all, they are just creatures with extraordinary talents.
Just like Pang Di, the panda in the bamboo forest of the orphanage, he was also an orphan adopted by Grandma Ya.
Looking at Xue Yun deeply, the old man raised his eyebrows and said: "If you hadn't come uninvited just now, Taomu Enchantress wouldn't have taken action against you. Even so, she didn't want to kill you, she just wanted to attack you.
Stun you and throw you out of the peach forest..."
After a pause, the old man said in a deep voice: "But you are so good, you almost killed her."
Your brother-in-law's...
Who knew you would have so many wild freaks at home?
I am just a normal conditioned reflex.
If you encounter a sneak attack by wild monsters and don't fight back, will you still keep it for the New Year?!
"Ahem...I was indeed sloppy."
With a slight smile, Xue Yun coughed twice and said straight to the point: "I have something I want to ask you for a favor..."
"Wait!"
Putting out his hand to stop him, the old man murmured: "What's the matter? Let's talk after drinking this cup of tea."
There were simple tea sets on the table. The old man poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Xue Yun.
The tea in the cup was turbid, black in color and green in color, with a layer of unknown moss-like object floating on the surface.
Raising his eyebrows, Xue Yun was speechless.
Where is the tea here?
If it is said that the rancid water in the gutter was boiled directly, no one will probably raise any objection...
The old man calmed down and extended his hand in a gesture of invitation.
It seems that if Xue Yun doesn't drink this stuff today, he won't be able to die well.
He hesitated for a long time.
In order to repair the fault of t800 and return to Longdu as soon as possible, we have no choice but to risk it!
Gritting his teeth silently, Xue Yun simply picked up the tea cup, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp...
Very unexpected.
A fresh sweetness explodes in the mouth instantly, the aroma of tea slowly spreads from the nose to the throat, and the limbs are indescribably relaxed and happy!
"This tea...is not bad!" Xue Yun was so shocked that he couldn't help but sigh.
"Haha, people are always swayed by superficial illusions..."
After taking a leisurely sip of tea, the old man shook his head and sighed: "Just like this cup of tea, seeing may not necessarily be believed. If you don't experience it yourself, how can you know all the joys and sorrows in this world?"
After carefully savoring the old man's words, Xue Yun suddenly had some indescribable insights.
"Is the old woman's body still strong?" the old man suddenly asked.
Suddenly stunned, Xue Yun couldn't help but lower his head. This old man recognized the Five Elements Breathing Method, and he must be an old friend of Granny Ya.
"Grandma Ya, she passed away..." Xue Yun said softly.
The tea cup in his hand paused slightly, and the old man obviously endured it for a while, suppressing all the grief in his heart.
"What happened?" the old man asked calmly.
He told the whole story of the battle between Hasen and Granny Ya in the bamboo forest.
Although Xue Yun's tone was gentle, it was still difficult to conceal the sadness and anger between the lines.
"Unexpectedly, she ended up dying in the hands of the wolf cub she raised with her own hands..."
His clenched fists were full of veins. The old man shook his head silently and remained silent for a long time.
This weird old man must be a powerful figure in the night watchman circle of the Daxia Empire.
Why do you live in seclusion in Yongze Town as a blacksmith?!
Although full of curiosity, Xue Yun did not ask...
Everyone has a past, and most of the time those long-dusted past events only belong to themselves.
The only thing Xue Yun wants to do now is to return to Longdu as soon as possible.
His family, teachers and even brothers and friends are still waiting for his return in Longdu.
There are more than 500 novice students in the training camp, waiting for him to teach.
There is really no extra time to waste!
"Tell me..."
Slowly raising his head, the old man asked with slightly red eyes: "What do you want me to do for you?"
"I heard that you are the only person in the town who is proficient in mechanical maintenance."
Putting his hands on the table, Xue Yun quickly said: "I urgently need a maglev engine that can operate normally. I wonder if you have any in stock here?"
