Chapter 21 Collateral Rewards
At this time, it had been more than two hours since Fang Lin came out of the village, and the villager who had left the forest and fled first naturally did not dare to go back, and directly found a dry place to hide from the rain, so as time went by, Lao Hu waited anxiously, pacing around like ants on a hot pot, and even Green, who had always been quite indifferent, couldn't help but show a sad color - Lao Hu's time to enter this nightmare space was not short, but he also had to admit that Fang Lin's personal ability was actually not very strong. In fact, the positive effect on his teammates is really immeasurable, not to mention his detailed grasp of clues, excellent overall situation judgment, and keen awareness of the enemy's flaws, just looking at Fang Lin's use and play of his own skills, it can already be regarded as remarkable. Using the most appropriate skills at the most appropriate time, this sentence could not be simpler, but the difficulty of doing it is conceivable....... a mental shock in the most difficult time, a timely collision of the elite fat man when he needs help the most, and a piece of food that is enough to save his life through the nightmare mark when his physical strength reaches the critical value of danger.
When reliance has become a habit, then it is only when you face it or may lose it permanently that you can feel the value and preciousness of its existence.
Green's mind flickered, his mind had been decided, and he stood up and said coldly:
"I'll go up the hill and have a look."
Hu Huahao was undoubtedly quite in favor of this decision, and he pulled his trouser leg and said:
"But that kid's mission is not to be helped."
Green said coldly:
"Failing a mission is better than everyone throwing their lives here, okay, without him, our future tasks will only be more auspicious."
Lao Hu nodded approvingly.
But just as the two of them were about to go out, Fang Lin's pleasant voice had already come in from outside:
"Hey, it's okay to have a little confidence in me, a rotten snake can still stump me."
Old Huhaha laughed and said:
"I knew you were okay, I said, when did the fuck see you suffer?"
Fang Lin leisurely threw the unlucky snake in his hand and walked into the courtyard, he was rolling up and down at this time, dripping with muddy water, but that expression seemed to have an indescribable calmness and chic. Green frowned slightly when he saw it, and hurriedly asked the housekeeper next to him to fetch water to rinse him. Fang Lin threw the corpse of the strange snake on the table in the hall and asked the owner Ding Yidao:
"This strange snake should be the one who harmed Honjo."
Ding Yi, the owner of the village, was surprised and delighted, looked up and down at this strange snake that was dead and still fierce in appearance, and believed it in his heart, but he still said cautiously:
"To be honest, I haven't seen it in person, but thanks to Mr.'s clever hand thaumaturgy, Ma Xin, the only one who has seen this evil obstacle, can already get out of bed, so you might as well ask him to identify it with your own eyes."
Fang Linqi said:
"Who is Ma Xin? Could it be those two fools? ”
The owner smiled bitterly:
"In fact, Ma Xin was originally a famous family, but unfortunately he injured his head in this war, and his actions were a little reversed from time to time, and these naughty boy villagers didn't know the reason, so they called him a second fool."
Fang Lin sighed, nodded and said:
"It turns out that his life is so rough, but he is a poor man, by the way, call him quickly, if I don't recognize the evil snake that is not harming you, I will have to run again."
After speaking, Fang Lin took the two buckets of water sent by Zhuang Ding, and went to the back to wash the dirt on his body. After he washed and changed into clean clothes and came out, Ma Xin thought that it was because of his initial recovery, and he didn't come out for a long time, but there was an old lady next to him who trembled slightly and timidly blended into the crowd of onlookers with a cane, but he didn't dare to speak loudly, so he could only quietly pull the housekeeper and muttered a few words anxiously.
The old housekeeper was embarrassed when he heard this, and finally he couldn't bear the old woman's plea, and walked over with a smile on his face and whispered:
"Dare to ask this gentleman, where is the boy Ahua who accompanied you up the mountain? His family was really anxious. ”
Fang Lin was slightly stunned when he heard this, and immediately remembered the young man who threw the torch and ran away in a hurry after hearing the screaming of the strange snake, and was about to answer truthfully, when he suddenly saw the old woman standing next to him with tears in her eyes and a slightly pitiful appearance, and suddenly felt this long-lost family warmth, so Fang Lin's mind turned and immediately took back all the words that came to his mouth, and said with a smile:
"Ah Hua! After the young man had helped me kill the snake, he saw a hare on the road and hurried to catch it, saying that he wanted to catch it and be filial to his family, and told me to come back first, and I would come back in a while. ”
Fang Lin's words were actually quite flawed, but others would not have thought that he would lie, and secondly, they were all amazed by the appearance of the strange snake on the table that was extremely vicious after death, and it was logical to believe that it was true, the old woman was overjoyed, and smiled from ear to ear, only Green frowned slightly and glanced at Fang Lin. But there was no speech either.
It didn't take long for Ma Xin, who had a cloth belt wrapped around his arm, to rush over weakly with the support of the two, just looking at it from a distance, his expression was already excited, angry and angry, and he didn't know where the strength came from, so he broke free of the arms of others and rushed forward, and after a closer look, he was already crying:
"That's it! That's it! Pity the two lives of the two dogs and the big stone! ”
Like Huang Zhong, Fang Lin and their group of outsiders felt very ordinary, but the villagers and the owner of the village were extremely surprised, you know, this Ma Xin used to have a head injury, and he acted like a five or six-year-old boy, extremely ignorant, so he got the nickname of a second fool, but now he is articulate and logical, where is there still a little stupid? The villagers couldn't help but talk about it, saying that this foreign gentleman could not only cure this fierce snake venom, but also cured the two fools' dementia.
The owner Ding Yi brushed his hair and smiled:
"Honjo's henchmen are in trouble, and they have finally been removed by Mr."
After he finished speaking, he smiled and walked into the inner room, took out a sharp knife, and cut it on the belly of the cockscomb monster snake.
The old housekeeper hurriedly put out four wine bowls on the table, and the owner of Ding Yi Zhuang went inside and took out a very old small jar again, patted off the mud seal on it, and poured it into the four wine bowls very carefully, after the wine was poured out, the color was light green, and the fragrance was fragrant, and people were a little drunk when they smelled it, and then saw that the owner of Ding Yi Zhuang carefully took out the snake gall bladder, and the blood dripped in the first bowl of wine, and held it with both hands to Fang Lin, and served the remaining three bowls of wine to Huang Zhong, Lao Hu, and Green one by one, and said with a smile:
"This wine is rumored to be made with the wine koji left over from Du Kang's winemaking, and there are only two jars left in the world, I still got half an altar by chance more than ten years ago, Mr. Zhuang solved this great difficulty for me, there is no way to repay, I can only treat it with this wine, Liao Biao's heart, not a respect!"
Lao Hu has always been very arrogant, and secretly scolded this guy in his heart for being really stingy, and only invited a small half bowl of wine for a treat, the owner of the village did not finish speaking, but he honestly and unceremoniously took up the wine and drank it all, what taste was naturally not tasted at all, but the hint from the nightmare mark made his eyes wide:
"You've drunk the Dukang."
"Your Strength is permanently increased by 1 and your Stamina is permanently increased by 1."
The dumbfounded old Hu, the first move was to look at the old small jar that held the wine, unfortunately, the owner of Ding Yi Zhuang was really sincere in hospitality, the small altar was empty, but Lao Hu's expression, it seemed that he wanted to pour some cold water to drink the jar in shabu.
Green drank the wine and his color changed slightly, apparently the basic surname was also hinted at by the increase in the permanent surname.
Fang Lin took it together with the snake gall, and the hint given by the Nightmare Mark was:
"You took the spirit snake gallbladder soaked in Du Kang's ancient wine."
"All your castes are increased by 3."
Then the owner of Ding Yi Zhuang flew with a knife, and in an instant, he peeled off the skin of the cockscomb snake and said with a smile:
"The snakeskin of this evil barrier is extremely tough, just enough to make two pairs of bracers, and if you are in a hurry to leave, I will ask you to help you get out overnight tonight."
Old Hu Rao went to Fang Lin's side and whispered:
"Your boy's task is really good, even eat and take."
Fang Lin ignored him and thanked the owner of the village. Ding Yi laughed and was very happy. Fang Lin found an opportunity and said:
"I think this knife in the owner's hand is nothing extraordinary. I wonder if you can lend me a look? ”
Ding Yi's face suddenly became a little embarrassed, but Hu Huahao's face was already gloomy, and he felt that this person didn't know how to lift. Fang Lin's cultivation was much better—or the camouflage was much better—and he was smiling.
