Chapter 19 The Cost of Saving Life
As soon as I finished eating, Dong took me back to the backyard and continued to toss me with all kinds of heavy scrap iron and stones.
After dragging more than 600 kilograms of stone stone for 200 meters, Tong Dong found a stone bell weighing more than 30 kilograms, at first, when I learned that the stone bell weighed only more than 30 kilograms, I was relieved, but I asked me to throw this stone bell over eight meters in the air.
Thirty pounds, eight meters, at first glance it doesn't seem to be difficult.
But when I really threw the stone bell into the air, I realized that the short distance of eight meters was so far away.
Even if he fed me two Huanyang pills in a row, I still couldn't throw the stone bell to such a high place.
Seeing that it was almost nine o'clock in the morning, I took me to the canteen to add food, and at ten o'clock, we returned to the backyard again, and I gave me a steel ring weighing around one hundred and fifty pounds, and asked me to hold it to run fifty laps around the backyard, and said that this was what kind of relaxation training.
Relax the yarn! On the first lap, I felt like my heart and lungs were going to explode, and I was shaking all over my body.
But in the end, I persevered, and this was still thanks to the Yang Dan of Dong Dong.
Every time I saw Yu Dong feeding me medicine, the third master had a painful expression, and from time to time reminded me to save as much as possible when giving me medicine, but his words were all ignored by Yu Dong.
At noon, I took me directly to the third floor of the repair workshop, here is the kitchen, there are more than a dozen burly cooks in charge of cooking, they seem to have been here since the morning, I saw a big iron frame in the kitchen, which is full of a large number of peeled potatoes and other fruits and vegetables, all the ingredients are fresh, these cooks should have spent a whole morning pouring them.
I heard the third master say that on weekdays, people from the younger generation are not allowed to come in the kitchen, but my situation is more special.
He said, I eat too much, if I eat in front of other people, maybe I will be targeted by someone with a heart, and now that the head of the family has not returned, I am afraid that those people will make trouble.
Although I don't particularly understand what he said, I can probably imagine that the situation of the old family is probably more complicated than I imagined.
The cafeteria opens at half-past twelve o'clock in the afternoon, and at half-past one, the people who work in the kitchen go to the second floor to clean up the dishes. The chefs never said a word from beginning to end, as if they couldn't speak at all, and their movements always gave a sullen feel when cooking or putting away dishes.
He ran to the second floor to take a look, and made sure everyone was gone, before he led me out of the kitchen.
He dragged me all the way to run wildly, and after leaving the garage, he followed the path back to the ghost skewers, after which he took me around again, and finally came to the gate of a courtyard located in the deepest part of the skewers, which was supposed to be the residence of the Dong, and I saw a small stone slab on the wall near the gate with the name of the Dong.
When we opened the door, we looked cautiously into the alley like a thief, as if we were afraid that others would see us.
At this time, the third master also flashed into the alley, he trotted all the way to Yu Dong's side, and asked Yu Dong in a low voice: "Haven't you been seen?" ”
He waved his hand and said, "Probably not." Then he pulled me through the door.
The yard is huge, and in addition to a few pots of flowers near the eaves, there is also a strong grape trellis in the middle of the yard.
Dong Dong and the third master sandwiched me in the middle, one in front and the other in the back, and got me into the house like a smoke.
The two of them behaved strangely to me, so I couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing here, like thieves?" ”
"It's not like being a thief," said the man, leaning over to the window, looking out cautiously, and saying to me, "We're thieves now." ”
The third master also said to me on the side: "Now, we can't let too many people know about your return, let alone let them know that you have entered the winter line." ”
I scratched my head: "Why?" ”
He closed the curtains, turned around and said, "I can't say a word or two. You remember, if someone sees you and asks you what you do, you say that you are a member of the Soul Village. ”
It's Soul Village again!
Sun Chuansheng and the Seventh Master have mentioned this place, and when I asked the Seventh Master about the Soul Village yesterday, he just told me that it was the old sect of the Shunan generation, and the relationship with the Soul Farm was very deep, but he didn't explain what the relationship between the Soul Village and the Soul Farm was.
The people I've met recently seem to have this kind of virtue, and they only talk half of what they say, which makes people's hearts itch.
At this time, Tong Dong began to urge me again: "You go to take a bath, the faucet on the left is hot water, and the right is cold water." ”
As he spoke, he pointed to a door next to me.
I was sweating all morning, and I was trying to wash up, but when he said this, I didn't hesitate, and immediately turned around and entered the door.
As soon as you enter the room, you can feel the heavy dampness, there are several large wooden basins on the left side of the room, several showers for rain hanging on the right wall, there is a drainage channel on the ground, two large faucets are drilled into the wall near the large basin, and near the window, there is a small steel frame dedicated to clothes.
This place is clearly a small bathhouse.
I pushed a wooden basin near the faucet, adjusted the water temperature, and planned to take a quiet bath, but as soon as I entered the water, I held a half-meter-high vat and broke in.
He didn't say a word when he came in, he picked up the vat and poured all the brown-black powder into my bathtub.
The powder had a strong smell of Chinese medicine, and when I entered the water, there was a thick bitterness on the surface of the water, which made me want to cry.
At this time, the third master also followed up, and as soon as he saw the vat in his hand, he shouted: "Why did you prepare so many medicines, oops, it's too wasteful!" ”
Tong Dong put the vat aside and smiled at the third master: "It's not much, you look at it, it won't take ten minutes, this kid will be able to absorb all the medicinal power." ”
The third master put on a very disgusted face: "If you don't come, I don't believe it." Don't forget, even with a pure yang physique like Zuo Youdao, it would take half a year to absorb so much medicinal power. ”
Tong Dong ignored him at first, just leaned in front of the bathtub, carefully looked at the medicinal powder floating on the water, and said to the third master after a while: "He has a different physique from Zuo Youdao...... I just said that he had too much time, and he had to absorb all the potions, five minutes at most. ”
As he spoke, I felt that the bitter smell in the basin was not so strong, and when I looked down, I saw that the powder floating on the water was fading at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.
The third master came to me to take a look, and his expression changed several times, first shocked, then excited, and finally helpless.
He sighed for a long, long breath, shook his head again, and said to me, "You are really a medicine jar!" ”
I didn't know how to respond to him, so I could only smile at him with an embarrassed face.
It didn't take long for the bitter smell in the pot to disappear completely, and the powder floating on the surface of the water had completely faded, from brown and black to lifeless red.
Seeing that the time was still early, I originally planned to take a good nap after taking a bath, but I don't know what was wrong, after this medicinal bath, I became very sleepy, and I didn't have much strength on my body, so I didn't want to do anything but sleep.
I was sleepy here, but when I saw my sleepy eyes, I was refreshed, and refused to let me take a lunch break, so he dragged me to the backyard of the garage and started the afternoon training session.
The afternoon training session is similar to that in the morning, with the stone being pulled first, and then the stone bell being thrown high, except that the last training session is different from the morning.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, when the sun was shining, I was given an address and asked me to go to the liquor store five kilometers away to get a bunch of keys back, and the time from leaving the garage to me handing over the keys to Dong Dong could not exceed half an hour.
That's a full 10 kilometers, so I can run it in half an hour, not counting the time to find the keys, it's all about me catching up with the pace of the world record!
And this time, I didn't let me eat Huanyang Dan, so I could only stare at the scorching sun and run hard.
Needless to say, I couldn't have been back in half an hour, even with all my might.
The training was a failure, but he didn't blame me, and he kept looking at me and smiling when I handed him the keys.
At that time, I felt that my skeleton was about to run apart, and I didn't pay much attention to the expression of the other person, and just lay on the ground on all fours, panting wildly.
He squatted beside me and patted my forehead: "How is it, how do you feel now?" ”
It took me a long time to adjust my breath, first raising my hand to shield myself from the violent sun, and then replying, "No, I'm going to ...... Call...... Dying. ”
He grinned at me with a big mouth: "Where are you here, you are going to die or live?" At present, with human physique, the best time in a 10-kilometer run should be between twenty-five and a half minutes and twenty-six and a half, and I don't expect much from you, after three months, you only need to run for 27 minutes. It took you nearly forty minutes to go back and forth, and it's still early. ”
I struggled to change my position, lay down on the ground with my head down, and replied to him vaguely: "You kill me." ”
He grabbed my neck, stuffed a small light gray pill into my mouth, and said to me: "It is not impossible to have our old family's medicinal materials to give you a foundation, and it is not impossible for you to reach the limit of your human body in three months." ”
This time, the pill he gave me was not as unpalatable as Huanyang Dan, but with a faint fragrance, this medicine melted in my mouth, and this fragrance spread quickly down my throat, so that the tiredness in my body also subsided at the same speed.
When I had a little strength, I turned over and sat up and asked Yu Dong: "Second master, in fact, since noon today, I have always had a question I want to ask you, but I am afraid that you will not answer me positively." ”
He raised his chin at me, "Ask." ”
I sorted out the wording a little: "You see, since this morning, you have given me strength and endurance again. What kind of person are you going to train me to be? ”
He pondered for a moment before he said to me, "What kind of person are you trained to become?" I really hadn't thought about it. But now I train you like this, just so that you can have a good body, and in the future, you will inevitably have to deal with evil corpses, ghosts and other things. Having a good body is equivalent to an extra life-saving capital, which is only good for you, not harmful. ”
