At this critical moment, an arrow grazed Wei Ming's ear and shot through the tiger's head. Blood spurted out and sprayed on his face.
Wei Ming looked at this scene blankly, and the scene in front of him made him a little unbelievable.
"You're not dreaming!"
He murmured to himself and reached out to touch his cheek in disbelief. It was warm and moist. It was not an illusion.
But how could I be so lucky that someone happened to help me and save my life?
He looked up and saw a young girl holding a bow and arrow, standing pretty on the spot, looking at him with a smile in her eyes.
"Why are you here?"
Wei Ming couldn't help but blurt out that this person was the Orion's daughter just now, but at this time, she had changed into men's clothes, her hair was tied up high, and she looked very heroic.
"Why can't I be here?"
The girl raised her eyebrows:
"Also, I won't call you my name! My name is Lin Muxue, remember?"
"Miss Mu Xue."
Wei Ming took a deep breath, tried to calm down the surprise and excitement in his heart, and said slowly:
"My Excellency Wei Ming, thank you Miss Mu Xue for helping me tonight. I will definitely pay you a visit someday."
Unexpectedly, Lin Muxue said with a smile:
"Hmph! Who cares about your thank you gift?"
After saying that, she curled her lips again:
"If you have a conscience, then stay and work for me, chop wood, carry water, hunt, cook, and don't be lazy!"
"Well!"
Wei Ming was stunned for a moment, Lin Muxue actually asked him to stay
Doing rough work?!
He couldn't help but smile bitterly.
When Lin Muxue saw this, she showed an unhappy expression on her face:
"What? You're not happy?"
"this......"
Wei Ming hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded helplessly:
"I do."
After all, I have nowhere to go, so I might as well settle down first and then make plans.
"very good."
The girl nodded with satisfaction, and then said darkly: "To be honest, I keep you here because of my father... He is sick and needs treatment..."
Wei Ming said nothing.
"and......"
Lin Muxue bit her lip and lowered her head, not daring to look at Wei Ming.
"And your food is almost gone, right?"
Wei Ming spoke calmly, as if he had guessed Lin Muxue's thoughts.
Lin Muxue opened her mouth slightly, then nodded silently.
Wei Ming sighed, and he understood why Lin Muxue wanted to stay to help her.
It is extremely difficult for a man to take care of his father, hunt and ensure his own livelihood at the same time, let alone a teenage girl.
"All right!"
He nodded helplessly and agreed to Lin Muxue's request.
"Very good!"
Lin Muxue was overjoyed when she heard this. She grabbed Wei Ming's sleeves and said excitedly:
"Then come with me quickly."
After saying that, he pulled Wei Ming and rushed towards home.
Wei Ming was pulled by her and ran, feeling helpless.
"Slow down!"
"Don't worry, I can run faster than a rabbit!"
Lin Muxue smiled slightly and didn't care at all.
Her steps were very light, not at all the speed that a fifteen or sixteen year old girl should have.
After a while, the two returned to the hut.
Orion was lying on the bed and resting, while he was boiling some medicine. The strong smell of medicine filled the whole room.
At this time, he looked extremely weak. How could he still look so strong just now?
"Daddy!"
Lin Muxue cheered and jumped directly to Orion's side.
"Ouch!"
Orion was startled, and after seeing clearly the appearance of the girl in front of him, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mu Xue, you are finally back!"
"Um!"
Lin Muxue nodded, and then asked worriedly: "Dad, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, it's just an old problem. I need to take some medicine to relieve it."
Orion waved his hand and then said: "Mu Xue, where have you gone?"
Wei Ming stood aside, silent.
At this time, Lin Muxue glanced at Wei Ming, and then explained:
"Dad, this is Wei Ming."
"Why are you back?"
Orion frowned and looked at Wei Ming with a hint of hostility in his eyes.
His face was still a little pale, and his hands were clenched into fists, as if he was holding back some kind of pain.
Wei Ming was very calm when he arrived and said directly:
"I was attacked by a tiger when I was leaving. It was Miss Lin Muxue who saved me. I am grateful for her kindness, so I came back to repay my kindness and do some menial work for Miss Lin Muxue."
Orion looked at the girl and asked: "Is this really true?"
Lin Muxue nodded heavily: "Of course."
Orion looked a little ugly and snorted coldly:
"Mu Xue, you are still young. Don't trust strangers easily. If this person has ulterior motives and tries to do you harm, wouldn't you be like a sheep in a tiger's den?!"
Hearing this, Lin Muxue was a little embarrassed, lowered her head, and said naa-naa:
"I know, daddy."
"well!"
Orion sighed and closed his eyes helplessly:
"That's all, since you insist on letting this person help, then let's do whatever you want, but if he dares to bully you, dad will never let him go easily!"
"yes!"
Lin Muxue said yes repeatedly.
Wei Ming looked at Lin Muxue's obedient appearance and felt a little dumbfounded.
He didn't expect this girl to be so obedient and a filial child.
"Mu Xue, please take him out. He will be in the way and affect my recovery."
"Oh well."
"Let's go to my side room. You can rest there."
Lin Muxue said hello and then walked outside.
Wei Ming saw this and immediately followed him.
Along the way, Lin Muxue kept talking about things at home, and Wei Ming kept listening patiently.
He finally understood why Lin Muxue's father was seriously ill and needed a lot of medicinal materials, while Lin Muxue had to hunt wild beasts desperately.
This family is really poor.
Wei Ming's brows gradually wrinkled.
"Miss Mu Xue, what disease does your father have?"
"I don't know either."
Lin Muxue scratched her head and said with some confusion:
"I heard from him that sometimes I suddenly feel cold all over my body, sometimes it feels as hot as a fire, and sometimes I have a fever or even become unconscious."
"People in the village said that they offended the gods and got this strange disease. We had no choice but to hide in the hut where we lived while hunting to recuperate."
When Wei Ming heard this, he frowned immediately.
This disease is simply an infectious disease. How could it be caused by gods?
Moreover, this disease closely resembles malaria.
He remembered that this disease required artemisinin treatment, and coincidentally, he had read relevant reports at that time, and it seemed that it was a plant called Artemisia annua, which happened to contain artemisinin.
"Please pay more attention to yourself in the future."
Wei Ming thought to himself.
During the conversation, the destination has been reached.
Wei Ming raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw the scene in this small room.
The place is extremely simple. There is only a table made of wooden boards and some miscellaneous things in the house. Apart from that, there is only some straw left.
The room exuded a musty smell, and was also filled with the stench of various herbs and medicinal residues.
"I can only make you suffer here for a few days."
Lin Muxue looked embarrassed.
"It's nice here, I have nothing."
Wei Ming didn't care at all and said calmly.
He was very satisfied to be protected from wind, rain and wild beasts.
"That's good. You can rest for the night first. I'll take you up the mountain to collect herbs tomorrow."
"By the way, I will go to town tomorrow morning to buy you a set of clean clothes so that you won't be dirty picking medicinal herbs."
"Um!"
Wei Ming nodded.
Afterwards, Lin Muxue left the house.
Wei Ming was the only one left in the house. Looking at the dilapidated house, Wei Ming couldn't help but sigh.
This is his first time sleeping on a straw pile.
However, although the environment here is poor, it is quiet and the air is fresh. Wei Ming feels that it is not bad.
Wei Ming took off his shoes and socks, then got into the straw, couldn't help but stretch his limbs, and lay down flat.
Although the straw feels rough to the touch, it is surprisingly not harsh and is instead very soft and comfortable.
Wei Ming closed his eyes and prepared to take a nap.
But there were so many things that happened today that he couldn't sleep at all.
In particular, the unfamiliar voice stirred his thoughts.
It's hard to understand what skills are mentioned.
But at this moment, the dark eyes suddenly lit up.
Wei Ming was surprised, opened his eyes, sat up, and looked around, but the room was pitch dark, how could there be any light?
"Huh?!"
Wei Ming murmured in confusion, and then continued to lie down.
He felt that he was too tired or mentally exhausted, so he was hallucinating.
But when he closed his eyes again and prepared to rest, an attribute point panel actually appeared in his mind...
Skill points (1/max)
Learnable skills:
[Running] [Iron Bones] [Strong Attack]
【???】【???】.....
Wei Ming's eyes widened and he looked at the attribute panel in front of him in disbelief.
He didn't know how to express the shock in his heart, so he could only rub his eyes to make sure that he was not dreaming.
