Chapter 144: The Painless Law
The old man's home was somewhere in a bungalow on the edge of the city, which was farther away from Xiao Yusheng's home than the school. Pen~Fun~Ge www.biquge.info has been in this city for so many years, and he has never known that there is such a place.
There are ordinary poplars planted around, and there is no scene of yellowing leaves in autumn and falling leaves in the wind. It's like being in an out-of-this-world world.
The yard is very wide and the furniture in the house is very complete. The bleeding leg is weak at best, and it does not reach the unbearable severe pain.
"Sit down. β
The bed that the old man pointed to, the snow-white sheets and quilt covers gave the impression of a hospital bed. Xiao Yusheng sat on it honestly, looked around, and exclaimed in his heart, but his face was unwavering.
The old man took out a bottle of medicine from a drawer, and there were dense words written on it, as if it were not in English. He pulled open his trouser leg and took a brief look at some of the festering wounds, which were stained with a little powder from the medicine bottle and rubbed against the wound.
Xiao Yushen suddenly screamed. Because of this sharp pain, like the pungency of devil's chili peppers, the indescribable burning sensation invaded the blood vessels along the wound, and the blood kept circulating.
"Take it easy, little one, Bush's claws are poisonous, and this is the antidote. β
He sighed and shook his head as he comforted him and put away the bottle.
"How do you go to the border between Nancheng and Xicheng, or the edge. β
"It's been years since I got home from school. β
The old man seemed to be a little apologetic when he heard this, and then suddenly reversed his eyes and looked at Xiao Yusheng sharply.
"When you suddenly calmed down, it really scared me, tell me, how did you do it, kid? At least make Bush feel at ease when he loses. β
Faced with the old man's questioning, Xiao Yusheng could not give an accurate answer. Of course, perfunctory in this case is simply sticking your head under the guillotine.
"I don't know much myself. However, I self-hypnotize myself every time I was in a critical situation. Then after hearing a strange sound, my mind became in a trance. That's probably it, and the heart settles down in a little haze. β
"Self-hypnosis?" muttered the old man.
"Aren't you afraid I'll kill you? You know I have such a dangerous wolf. β
This kind of remark still made Xiao Yusheng couldn't help laughing.
"Heal me and kill me again. Besides, the old gentleman wouldn't be so drawn-up, would he? Besides, those medicines just now must be very expensive, and even a little less. If you value me so much, why don't you leave me to fend for myself?"
That's right! If all his actions were to kill him, this old man who was in the stage of rational affairs would naturally not be able to save him without idleness.
"You're right. In short, don't talk about today's events. And your preparatory actions, really standard, but the follow-up measures are not flexible enough. He paused, looking at Xiao Yusheng with a calm face with a somewhat complicated expression.
"To be honest, I really thought about killing you when you hurt Bush. But you...... It doesn't feel like a human being. It's just that for ordinary people, you have overcalmed down, which really makes me and Bush instinctively feel terrible. β
Xiao Yusheng turned his head to look at Bush, who was licking his paws outside, and let out a low groan.
"I can't remember what it is, I just want to live every day. I'm not going to say what happened today. It doesn't do any good to say it. β
"The old man thanked him first. I'll send you back later. β
The old man is so good at talking? Xiao Yusheng couldn't help but pinch his chin and guess.
"Anyway, old man. What if you live alone in such a wilderness, what if you come in alone? I know a guy who looks pretty serious, but actually likes to drill around. β
It was obvious bait, but the old man had to take the bait.
"Who?"
"I don't know if you've ever heard of owls. β
Sure enough, as he expected, the old man's pupils frantically shrank to the size of an exaggerated pinhole! As far as Xiao Yusheng's intuition was concerned, this was not fear, but deep fear.
"You know him......"
"Sort of. This guy gave me a psychiatric diagnosis certificate for no reason, and when I went to the hospital for a psychiatric test, it was obviously very good. β
If he tried to talk again, even if the old man knew that it was a trap, he would not answer at most. However, the old man was not as difficult to deal with as he thought, and the old man was silent for a moment.
"I came to this city thanks to him. He's my benefactor. I'm sure he wouldn't do it for no reason to prescribe that kind of thing for you. He is a man who can see the future. β
It is precisely because the old man is very jealous of him that the evaluation is unexpectedly high.
But that's the end of the clichΓ©. It's already past eight o'clock in the evening, and if it goes on like this, it will cause the family to call the police, and it will not benefit anyone.
"Boy, that list might be useful to you. If you have time to come here to see me, a lonely old man, I will teach you two times by the way. β
I don't know what the old man's intentions are, Xiao Yusheng still agreed with a smile. In any case, he has to make use of all the resources at his disposal.
"With this Bush here, you're not a lonely old man. β
The old man patted his head and glared at him viciously.
"Remember, my name is Horo. I know you understand everything in an instant, and you are still honestly accepting your cleverness, maybe one day a fool will really be desperate to do it. β
Old Man Horo's words are indeed reasonable.
Xiao Yusheng, who returned home at more than nine o'clock, never thought that such a thing would happen. However, if he didn't show that he was smart, how could the old man show up in the dark and drug him?
At that time, pretending to be stupid and stunned, it is estimated that he will really be ignored by him who is secretly observing.
Regarding the road, he sincerely asked the old man a few questions, in terms of experience, Xiao Yusheng thought that he died in the urn not necessarily more than him.
Old Man Huo Luo took the trouble to answer them all without exception. It is Xiao Yusheng who is very good at grasping other people's emotional weaknesses, and every question can always involve his feelings.
When he reached the door, he bowed deeply to express his gratitude to the old man. The old man was shocked, thinking that he must have wondered how Xiao Yusheng could not be angry. If it was acting, such a blatant answer along the way should have made him explode.
He thought that Xiao Yusheng was emotionally weak. In fact, in addition to Zhang Xin and the owl, he himself knows very well that he will give up what he thinks is not necessary, and he will not hesitate to implement it if necessary.
That's the end of it for today. Looking at the old man's distant back, it looked particularly desolate under the waning moon. He turned around and went home, though he was still hungry and he had no appetite to eat anything.
After cleaning his right index finger again, he fiddled with his fingers in front of the mirror, and he could still feel an inexplicable tingling pain even though there was nothing abnormal.
"Why do you have a phantom pain......
He whispered.
Something suddenly flashed in my head, or there was a reason for the phantom pain stimulation.
Since the hurt is mutual, doesn't that mean that both must be hurt?
He seems to have found a painless solution.
To be continued......
