Chapter 192: The Test
"Uncle Ning."
Ning Feng was stabbed by Yao Qianqian, and then forced out a drop of essence blood to help Yao Qianqian resist the demons in his heart, he was already weak, and when he saw Yao Qianqian wake up, his heart was relieved, and then he fainted.
Yao Qianqian was confused before, but she herself was not harmed, and she was in the best state when she woke up. She held Ning Feng and dragged him to the bed.
Ning Feng's body was no longer as hot as before, but it started to burn, and his forehead was hot enough to fry an egg.
She picked up the little basin in the house and walked outside, she didn't know where the well was, she wanted to ask someone, but who knew that as soon as she reached out to stop a man and ask where the well was, the man ran away as if he had seen something terrible. After this happened several times in a row, if Yao Qianqian couldn't notice anything weird, then she would be stupid.
But she couldn't figure out how she had offended so many people when she first came, and she ran away when she saw her. She didn't know that those people were avoiding her because they were afraid of her, she didn't remember what had happened before, and these people didn't have amnesia. Yao Qianqian's invincible appearance, they were all terrified when they thought about it at this time, and naturally they didn't dare to have anything to do with her.
Yao Qianqian couldn't think about it, so she had to find the well by herself, but fortunately, the city within the city was not big, and it only took two quarters of an hour for her to search for the well as fast as possible.
She gasped for breath, took a sip of water in both hands, and her heartbeat calmed down. She put the refreshing water in the basin, picked it up and walked towards house 318.
When she returned to the house, she found that there were several more people in the house, and she was very impressed by one of them, who was none other than the lord of the city.
Yao Qianqian nodded to the city lord to indicate that she had said hello, she put the basin on the small table, picked up the handkerchief that looked a little old but still clean, and threw it into the basin, she wrung out the handkerchief in three or two times, walked over and put the handkerchief on Ning Feng's forehead.
She turned and sat on the edge of the bed, there were only two chairs in the room, and the lord of the city sat on the edge of the bed with another person who didn't know who.
"I wonder why the city lord came to this small and medium-sized place?"
"This time you killed the city lord of Xinmao City, the credit is enough in exchange for the identity of you and your companions, but I don't know if you want to stay in the city to be a permanent resident of Gengyin City or go outside the city to be a free citizen." A gleam flashed in the city lord's eyes.
"I don't know what the difference is."
"As the name suggests, the freedmen are free, and the lord of the city and the officials of the city will not restrict their activities, but they will need to pay a certain tax to the winning city during the harvest season." The city lord stared at Yao Qianqian, and after a long while, he said, "As for the permanent residents in the city, they don't need to farm in normal times, but they have to bear the burden of conscription and military service. It's just that the permanent residents can be promoted on merit, but the freedmen cannot. And I want to remind you that once your identity is chosen, you can't change it until you join the war again to accumulate credit. ”
Yao Qianqian suddenly laughed, and laughed movingly. She laughed not because she was happy, but because she saw through the heart of the city lord. Let's just say that there is nothing to do, it is either a traitor or a thief, how can the dignified city lord come to the place where a small people live if he has nothing to do, it turns out that he is afraid that she, a person who has gained great merit, will stay as a permanent resident.
Yao Qianqian heard the sound and knew the elegance, from the words of the city lord, she guessed the strange system of this world city, it turned out that only fixed residents could be officials, and only fixed residents could be promoted to city lords.
Yao Qianqian had no interest in his position as the city lord, and said with a smile at the moment: "Thank you for speaking so carefully, I think about it for a while, I still think that it is more suitable for our uncle and nephew to be a free citizen outside the city." It's just that my uncle has a high fever and is in a coma and can't move, I don't know if the city lord can reward me with some medicinal herbs, as soon as my uncle wakes up, we will go out of the city immediately. ”
The city lord laughed, he was afraid that you would not leave, since you were leaving, it was naturally easy to discuss anything. He waved his hand and said to the person beside him: "Go and prepare some medicinal herbs, clothes, and food, and if there is any need here at No. 318, you are fully responsible for handling it." ”
Yao Qianqian naturally wouldn't be polite to the city lord, and thanked the city lord at the moment. They talked casually, and the lord got up and left.
The people of the City Lord's Mansion are still very efficient, and not long after the City Lord left, the medicine was delivered. Yao Qianqian made a slight identification, and matched the medicines that can reduce fever together according to their medicinal properties and grabbed a pair of decoctions.
"What are you doing?"
Yao Qianqian soaked the last herb in the water, and then squatted on the side of the bed, "You woke up, do you feel uncomfortable?" ”
Ning Feng's face turned pale, and he shook his head slowly, "You were invaded by the heart demon before, are you okay now?" ”
"Invasion of the demons?"
Ning Feng immediately simply told what had happened before, but he only hid his method of saving Yao Qianqian.
"According to what you say, this level is a test of our Dao heart, and I entered the Dao by killing, so I am tested by war. Because of your help, I didn't lose myself, and it stands to reason that I should have cleared the level, but I haven't returned to the labyrinth yet, which proves that the people who came in with me must go out together. Yao Qianqian was thinking about the problem to herself, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Ning Feng sincerely, "Uncle Ning, what is your way, say it, we can have a response." ”
Ning Feng looked out of the door in silence, without any intention of opening his mouth.
After a while, he suddenly said, "I know this in my heart, you don't have to ask more." But I can tell you with certainty that if this level is really a test of our 'Tao', my test will not be dangerous for you. ”
It's strange, it's just to ask him what kind of Tao he cultivates, what can't be said, and it's so sure that there is no danger, is he a doctor who entered the Tao, doesn't it look like it? Yao Qianqian suddenly had an ominous premonition, judging from the unscrupulousness of the person who set the test, if Ning Feng really entered the Tao as a doctor, maybe she would be killed and let Ning Feng heal, she already felt terrible before she thought about it.
Yao Qianqian shook her head, tossing aside the terrible thoughts in her mind.
"The medicine is almost fully soaked, I'll go boil it first, you rest more, don't move." Yao Qianqian walked out with the medicine jar sent by the city lord.
Ning Feng saw Yao Qianqian walking away, so he endured the pain and lifted his placket, because the terrible knife wound was not treated in time, and it was wet by the rain, at this time the wound was already faintly white.
He got up slowly, waited until the dizziness in his brain dissipated, and then walked to the pile of medicinal herbs and picked out the medicinal herbs that were useful for his healing, bit them with his mouth, and then applied them to the wound. He bared his teeth in pain, but he forced the pain to suppress the pain in his throat, because he was afraid that Yao Qianqian had not gone far and found that he had been wounded.
He applied the medicine, picked out a random garment from the lord of the city and put it on, and tore a clean middle coat into strips, and then used the strips of cloth to wrap the wound.
Sweating profusely after doing this, he returned to his bed and looked at the roof, his mind naturally coming to mind what had happened after entering this space, and it turned out that his test had begun earlier. (To be continued.) )
