The eighty-fifth chapter of the Red Dust Inn made people haggard
After thinking about it, Zhao Zheng finally chose to give up. In his opinion, whether a thing is worth gambling on depends on how much money is in the pool of the gambling game, and if the effort is not proportional to the return, it is not worth the risk. He weighed it, he was several levels behind the Boar King, so for the sake of safety, it was better to forget it.
Zhao Zheng chose no, withdrew from the dungeon in a normal way, and then entered the dungeon again, but did not enter the wild boar forest again, but entered the empty Ming Quiet Room to cultivate honestly.
He has developed a reasonable habit of allocating the entry and exit of dungeons, entering twice a day in the morning, and then leaving three times for backup to use during the day or night. This way, you can be sure that you can enter a new dungeon at any time after opening it.
In the next few days, Zhao Zheng stayed in Qibao County and did not leave, except for cultivation and cultivation every day.
The reason why he stayed here and refused to return to the Red Dust Inn naturally had his reasons.
There are two tasks to take in the Hui Chūn Medical Center, the first task he has already done, he has picked bergamot for Lin Jiyuan, a wealth fan, and now the second task is about to appear. This quest has a definite time, and it will naturally be triggered when the time comes.
In "Horse Race", there is a clear story progression, and the tasks in the game will change with the progress of the story, and many tasks can only be claimed or triggered at a fixed time. Because of this, many veteran players often exclaim that "the reward for such and such a task is good, but unfortunately it can no longer be done".
The second quest in the Returning to Chūn Clinic is this type of quest, which can only be triggered at the beginning of the game, and disappears after the game has been open for a while.
The name of this quest is "Rescue Miss Zhong'er", and it has a simple mission story background.
There was a thief named "Feiliang Flea" Du Qian who arrived in Qibao County, and he sneaked into the county commander's house at night in an attempt to steal money, but was discovered by Miao Li, the county commander of Huiwu, and was seriously injured.
Du Qian had a pair of special boots on his feet that could improve his light skills, called "Cloud Walking Boots", and with the help of these boots, he escaped from Miao Li's mansion, accidentally saw Hui Chūn Medical Hall, and broke into it in order to heal his wounds. In order to threaten Lin Jiyuan, he kidnapped Lin Zhong'er in the hospital hall and forced Lin Jiyuan to heal himself.
The player's mission is to kill Du Qian and then rescue Lin Zhong'er from Du Qian's hands. The reward for the task is the pair of "cloud-stepping boots" on Du Qian's feet and some money given by Lin Jiyuan.
Zhao Zheng wants to steal the "Nine Veins and Six Yuan Sutra", and the prerequisite is that the light skill has reached a certain level, and he strives to achieve a silent landing and no movement. He is now very close to this requirement, and if he can get the help of this pair of "Cloud Walking Boots" again, it will be completely up to the mark.
It was because these Cloud Treading Boots helped him a lot that he had always been very concerned about returning to the Chūn Medical Center.
Of course, he doesn't like to pick up other people's old boots to wear, but for the sake of his future, he can only be wronged. Compared with these small difficulties, it is more important to steal the "Nine Veins and Six Yuan Sutra".
Zhao Zheng clearly remembered the trigger time of the quest "Rescue Miss Zhong'er", and now that day was very close, if he wanted to complete this task, he had to find an excuse to stay in the Chūn Medical Center so that it would be convenient to do it when it happened.
If you follow the task process, the task can only be triggered after Du Fei kidnaps Lin Zhong'er, but in reality, of course, you don't need to care about the task process. Zhao Zheng has already made a plan, he wants to stay behind in the Hui Chūn Medical Center, as long as Du Fei appears, he will be killed immediately, leaving no room for anything! He won't wait for Du Fei to kidnap Lin Zhong'er before he starts, and it will be too late by then.
Although Zhao Zheng didn't feel for Lin Zhong'er, how could he bear to watch such a good girl get hurt? Not to mention that he knows Lin Zhong'er, even if the two have nothing to do with each other, he will come to the rescue.
After making all these plans, Zhao Zheng went to the Hui Chūn Medical Center today, hoping to stay here and wait for Du Fei to deliver it to the door.
Crossing the threshold, Zhao Zheng found that Lin Jiyuan was taking the patient's pulse in the front hall, with a face of gathering jīng and a white beard in the other hand. He didn't bother, stood aside, and waited for Lin Jiyuan to finish the matter.
Lin Jiyuan concentrated on taking the patient's pulse, and he didn't have time to look up to see who was in the house.
Zhao Zheng waited next to him for a while, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a pale yellow sè figure in the corner of his eye, he looked over and found that the person who came over was Lin Zhong'er, who was wearing a pale yellow sè floral short brown. This girl was already thin and small, with a sharp chin, and in the past few days, I don't know what the reason is, she has become even thinner, and her face is haggard, as if a gust of wind can blow it down.
Lin Zhong'er was also looking at Zhao Zheng, her eyes were very complicated, there was joy and a hint of sorrow, her pale pink lips outlined a smile, but the smile was not bright.
"Miss Zhong'er, how many times have you lost weight, why have you lost so much weight?" Zhao Zheng said with concern.
"Thank you for your concern, I just don't have a good appetite these days, and it's not in the way." Lin Zhong'er glanced at Zhao Zheng, and then hurriedly lowered his head.
"Bad appetite? I guess you're too tired, if you and Mr. Lin can't get busy, hire another person. ”
"It has nothing to do with Cāo Lao, the two of us can be busy with the work of this medical hall."
"Then why do you have a bad appetite? Could it be that the food is not to taste? ”
"The meals are all made by me, how can it be unpalatable, how my cooking skills are, you should know very well."
"Well, the food you cooked was delicious, better than the food in the average tavern. I love to eat the sweet and sour fish you made, you have a good ratio of sweet and sour, not too sour and not too sweet, just to my taste. Zhao Zheng said it with great relish, and his stomach also reacted.
"If Childe likes to eat, stay here for a light meal today. I'll cook this dish for you one more time. Lin Zhong'er hurriedly invited.
"Okay." Zhao Zheng should accept it. Not only did he have a meal here, but he also had to ask Lin Jiyuan to stay here completely until he solved Du Qian's trouble.
At this moment, Lin Jiyuan, who was next to him, suddenly interjected in an unkind tone: "We are here to treat diseases and save people, but not a restaurant, how can we just leave people here to eat." ”
Zhao Zheng turned his head and found that Lin Jiyuan had already helped people see the doctor, and the old doctor was now sitting on a wooden chair, staring at him with a strained face. He secretly wondered in his heart, what medicine did this old money fan take wrong today, why did he suddenly have such a bad attitude towards him? Before this, his relationship with the ancestors and grandchildren of the Lin family had obviously been very good.
How did Zhao Zheng know that the reason why Lin Jiyuan's attitude towards him turned bad was because Lin Zhong'er had been sick with lovesickness these days, and he was always thinking about him, Zhao Gongzi, and he didn't think about tea and rice, and he gradually lost weight.
Lin Jiyuan saw the changes in his granddaughter in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, but he couldn't do anything at all. He, a doctor, can cure any disease, but he can't cure heart disease.
When he saw his granddaughter lose weight like this, he regretted it very much in his heart, and counted all the sins on Zhao Zheng's head. He secretly made a decision, determined to completely cut off contact with Zhao Zheng, lest Zhao Zheng always come here to hook up with Lin Zhong'er. If Zhao Zheng doesn't come, Lin Zhong'er will be able to slowly forget about Zhao Zheng.
"Mr. Lin is right, I'm an outsider, it's really inconvenient to disturb here." Zhao Zheng's eyes rolled, and his tone was much more polite, intending to probe Lin Jiyuan's tone and figure out what was going on.
"Since Zhao Gongzi knows that he is an outsider, it is even better." Lin Jiyuan snorted with a tense face.
"Grandpa, what nonsense are you talking about. Zhao Gongzi has helped us so much, how can he be an outsider. Lin Zhong'er couldn't listen to it, interjected on the side, and rashly contradicted it.
"How dare you talk to grandpa like that? Get me into the house, there's nothing to do with you here. Lin Jiyuan ordered with a glare.
"It's not that Zhong'er wants to talk back to grandpa, it's just that what you just said is too much, grandpa." Lin Zhong'er was timid, and when she saw her grandfather, she immediately showed her cowardice and took a step back.
"Bastard, you little junior, when will it be your turn to teach me a lesson? You're disrespectful. Lin Jiyuan made up his mind to beat the mandarin duck, stood up with a brush, blew his beard and glared.
"Grandpa, what's wrong with you today, you never scolded me like this before."
"That's because you used to be very well-behaved, so I didn't scold you, but today you are disobedient and talk back to me, of course I have to teach you a good lesson. You hurry back to the house now, or don't blame me for being unkind. ”
Lin Zhong'er saw that her grandfather was fierce, her eyes were covered with a layer of mist, she covered her mouth and turned around and ran to the back door and left the lobby.
Zhao Zheng had been watching things unfold, but he couldn't say anything. He was even more puzzled in his heart, and said secretly: "Why is this old money fan like eating gunpowder today, with such a bad temper, not only is he not kind to me, but he is also so fierce to Lin Zhong'er." ”
"Zhao Gongzi, why did you come to my medical hall? If there's nothing to do, please go back. Lin Jiyuan drove away his granddaughter, and then attacked Zhao Zheng, and his words were extremely rude.
"I'm here today to buy tiger bones." The tiger bones on Zhao Zheng's body are actually enough, and the reason why he said this is just to test Lin Jiyuan, because Lin Jiyuan likes to make other people's money the most.
But who would have thought that Lin Jiyuan was unusually today, as if he had changed as a person, and he was not interested in making money, so he replied coldly: "I'm sorry, the tiger bones have been sold out, if the son wants to buy it, let's find another place." ”
"If you don't have tiger bones, then there's always grass, right?"
"No, it's sold out."
"What about the Four Seasons Flowers?"
"Not either."
"What about astragalus?"
"Neither!" Lin Jiyuan raised his white eyebrows, "As long as it is the medicinal materials you want to buy, I don't have them here, so you don't have to come here to buy medicine in the future." ”
Zhao Zheng was very annoyed when he heard this, he came here to protect Lin Zhong'er, but he was treated like this. He has always been very thin-skinned, and since Lin Jiyuan has said nothing, it is not interesting for him to stay here. He glanced at Lin Jiyuan deeply, snorted, and walked away.
Lin Jiyuan watched Zhao Zheng walk away, his face slowly softened, and he sighed lightly. He is a doctor, and he understands the truth that if you are seriously ill, you have to take cruel medicine, otherwise there is no way to cure the disease. As the saying goes, long pain is better than short pain, if Lin Zhonger and Zhao Zheng are in contact for a long time, it will end even more badly, it is better to break the thoughts of the two as soon as possible.
Back in a boudoir at the Chūn Medical Center, Lin Zhong'er curled up in the corner of the bed with her knees crossed, choking and sobbing in a low voice, and a series of tears wet her clothes and pants. As the tears fell, the temperature of her body gradually decreased, and the cold of autumn rì invaded her body, making her shiver all over.
