Chapter 10: Trials

The old man seemed to have guessed the answer, and when he heard my words, he nodded, and went to the counter to get something.

I didn't say anything more, just went upstairs, sat on the bed and waited patiently for him.

A few minutes later, the old man walked in with a carved wooden tray.

The tray was not large, but there were a lot of miscellaneous things on it, in addition to the copper pot containing the evil son, there was also a bamboo tube thick with a cup.

The rest of the small pieces were nothing more than hemostats, cotton balls, and an old-looking knife.

This knife looks quite special, it should be some years old, and it doesn't feel like a modern thing.

The handle of the knife is made of wood, and when you look closely, there are some patterns carved on it that I can't read, and it looks like a charm.

The blade is no longer than a toothpick, or even shorter, a bit like a carpenter's carving knife, which looks very thin.

I was studying with a knife, when the old man suddenly walked in, reached out and pulled the knife, and then asked me to take off my clothes and lie down on the bed.

It seemed that the old man was not at ease, and explained to me again in a low voice.

"You remember, you have to endure how much pain you have during this period, you must not make the slightest sound, and you must not faint, otherwise you will not want to enter the industry."

I nodded earnestly, indicating that I knew, and then obediently lay on the bed, my heart beating so fast.

I don't know how much pain the old man said......

"Since you were a child, I was used to you, I didn't want you to suffer, and I didn't want you to suffer, and in the end, you rabbit cub still had to find ....... hardships for yourself."

The old man sighed and said, and as soon as he raised his hand, he picked up the bamboo tube in the tray.

The bamboo tube should be filled with liquid, but I saw the old man holding a cotton ball with a hemostat, dipping it in it, and after pulling it out, the cotton ball completely turned dark green.

Suddenly, a strange smell permeated the room, it was a bit like the smell of Chinese herbal medicine, and it smelled quite good.

The old man didn't speak, but took the ball of green cotton and smeared it a few times on the vein of my left hand.

"Master, what is this?" I couldn't help but ask.

"A hemostatic drug." The old man said vaguely, picked up the knife casually, and asked me, "Are you ready?" ”

I looked at the little sharp knife and nodded a little nervously, not daring to come out.

The old man made a few strokes with his knife at my vein as if nothing was happening, and slashed it down with all his might.

I have to say that although this knife looks small, it is unexpectedly sharp.

I didn't feel any pain at all, and almost instantly, the old man made a small cut on the vein.

But the strange thing is that after the flesh was dissected, the blood did not flow out, only the blood on the wound, as if it had coagulated, and did not spread outward.

When I was stunned, the old man suddenly raised his hand, used a hemostat to clip out a piece of the evil man from the can, and looked at me with a distressed face: "Son, hold back." ”

I always thought that the operation that the old man said he was going to do was to bury these evil people in the flesh and sew them up.

But what I never expected was that these villains didn't have to sew at all!

The moment he touched the wound, the Fallen Evil Man seemed to absorb water and swelled at a speed visible to the naked eye, more than twice as large as the size.

When the old man let go of the hemostat, it was like it had found food, and it came back to life, and it went straight into my wound.

In the next second, three inches above my vein, a bulging meat bag with the size of a wicked man.

At this time, it didn't hurt, it felt like a glass of warm water was poured on the wound, and there was no foreign body feeling.

However, within a few seconds, my wrist began to itch.

That kind of itch is an itch from the bones to the flesh and skin.

It was as if there were thousands of bugs crawling in my arms, and I wanted to chisel them to relieve the itch.

"That's not right...... Didn't the old man say that it hurts....... "I clenched my teeth, didn't dare to make a sound, only dared to roar in my heart, desperately enduring this strange itch: "How did this become itchy?!! ”

Before I could figure it out, I felt as if my entire wrist had been smashed, and it began to hurt sharply without warning.

How itchy the itch was just now, how much it hurts now.

I kind of understood the intention of the old man who repeatedly told me, and the pain was so intense that it was simply unbearable for human beings.

I almost subconsciously opened my mouth to scream, but this time, I happened to see the old man's eyes full of pity, and I swallowed the scream back.

What is life better than death?

I'm a living example!

"Boss, there are still sixteen villains here, can you hold on?" The old man asked me.

I didn't squeak, I didn't even dare to open my mouth, I could only close it tightly, for fear that I would scream out as soon as I opened my mouth.

Seeing that I didn't react, the old man sighed, slashed directly on the vein of my right hand, and put it on the gourd to put it down.

After that, the old man buried twelve pieces of evil sons in the soles of my feet, dantian, chest, shoulders, under my earlobes, and at the joints of my legs and arms.

Looking at the twelve meat buns bulging out of my body, I was already in a trance of pain, and if I wanted to say whether I fainted in pain, I really can't say for sure.

I fainted one second, but woke up in pain the next.

Anyway, at that time, I couldn't think of anything in my head, it was like a paste, and my concept of time was blurred to the extreme.

"Yes......." The old man suddenly opened his mouth, his tone full of surprise: "You rabbit cub can hold up to this extent...... It's beyond Lao Tzu's imagination! ”

I was really angry and crying, don't think I'm exaggerating.

When I heard the old man say that, the emotions that I could control before collapsed in an instant.

The pain is one thing, but what I can't stand the most is the old man's surprised expression.

More than you can imagine?!

If I die in pain in this bed, don't you have to feel logical?!

"Cry, as long as you don't cry." The old man smacked his lips: "The last three villains have to be buried in your back, you quickly turn over, I put it in quickly, and strive to end it as soon as possible." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he reached out to help me turn over.

With the strength of the old man's hand, I barely rolled over, and in the process, I only felt like the bones in my body were about to fall apart.

When I turned over behind me, I realized that the sheets under me had been soaked with cold sweat.

To put it mildly, the sheets were as wet as I was wetting the bed.

After a few more minutes, the old man suddenly patted me on the head and said, "It's done, the seventeen are all gone, you can hold on for a while, and when you absorb them, it's over." ”

I nodded, didn't dare to make much of a move, gritted my teeth desperately, and only prayed that time would be too soon.

I don't know how long it took, but the sky outside the window darkened, and my consciousness became more and more awake, not as in the trance at first.

Suddenly, the old man yelled excitedly, almost scaring me.

"It's done!"

Before I could react, the old man suddenly stretched out his hand and slapped me on the back of the head: "Son! Hurry up! It's over! ”

"End...... Done? I didn't move, I didn't have the strength to get up at all, and I asked the old man angrily: "Don't set me up..... It's not bad to talk now......."

"You melon baby! I'll give you a set! The old man scolded angrily: "Do you think Lao Tzu is joking with you??" ”

I smiled, gritted my teeth, and almost struggled to roll over and look at the situation.

At this time, the meat bags on my body had disappeared, and the wounds buried in the evil man were all closed inexplicably, and only a faint line of blood could be seen.

"I ...... I didn't call it, did I? I cautiously asked, "Did I pass the test?" ”

When the old man looked at me, the expression on his face was a little complicated, like relief and loss.

"Passed."

As he spoke, he sighed, not as happy as he had just been, and patted me on the head.

"The banner of the Shen family, I have to let you carry it in the future......"
