Chapter 10: Akari
"Ahh
"Hunting let my mother die!"
"Click!"
There were still about ten meters away from Ajia's house, and Long Yuan heard the sound of painful moans and things falling to the ground from Ajia's house.
"Mother, don't!" a deep voice sounded in the room, and the voice was full of anxiety.
It is now noon, which is the most violent moment of fire ant venom outbreak, and most of the people who are affected by fire ant venom often can't bear the torment at this time and choose to commit suicide.
The villagers seemed to have become accustomed to the wailing of Akari's mother, and they glanced at the house sympathetically and hurried away.
Long Yuan didn't rush in, just stood in front of the house and waited quietly, this was the last bit of dignity left for the orphans and widows of Ah Hunt.
Speaking of which, it was the first time for Long Yuan to come to Ajia's house, looking at the earthen houses that were much shorter than the houses on both sides, the courtyard walls rammed with loess were overgrown with weeds, and the edges and corners of the edges had become mellow because they had not been repaired for many years, and they had decayed and only half of the wooden doors were left to hide.
Ah Hunt's original name was Yuan Hunt, and his father was the most outstanding hunter in the village at that time, and the successful hunting of fate-level demon beasts as an ordinary person made Yuan Hunt's father famous.
And this name was given to him by his father, which means that he hopes that Yuan Hunt will inherit his mantle in the future, and it can be seen that Yuan Hunt's father has high expectations for Yuan Hunt.
It's a pity that Yuan Hunt's father did not wait for that day to come, he died in a monster riot, in order to raise the young Yuan Hunt, Yuan Hunt's mother had to venture to the mountains and forests to collect medicine, but the disaster is not a single line, Yuan Hunt's mother was bitten by a fire ant on the way to collect medicine, and since then he has been ill, Yuan Hunt has to shoulder the burden of taking care of his mother.
In order to make a living, Yuan Hunt had to sell his old house, and with the help of his father's old friends, he built a hut on the edge of the village, so that he barely had a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
Yuan Hunt's bumpy fate made Long Yuan inevitably feel a little connected to his fate.
The wailing continued for a quarter of an hour before it died down in a somewhat hoarse voice.
Crunch –
Long Yuan knocked lightly on the door, and the crumbling wooden door made a sore sound.
"Who?" Yuan Hunt's voice came from inside the house, and then he poked his head out again, "It's you!" When he saw that it was Long Yuan, Yuan Hunt couldn't help but exclaim.
"Can I go in?" Long Yuan asked.
Hearing Long Yuan's words, Yuan Hunt's eyes were a little evasive, as if he was hesitating.
"Come in. After thinking for a moment, Yuan Hunt turned around and let Long Yuan in.
Standing still in the room, Long Yuan carefully looked at Yuan Hunt in front of him.
In retrospect, Long Yuan hadn't seen Yuan Hunt for more than three years, and the time of more than three years had also made Yuan Hunt change a lot.
At only 15 years old, he was nearly five feet tall, a head taller than Long Yuan, his skin looked sickly pale due to the lack of sunlight all year round, his thin body looked gloomy in the shadows, and his dark eyes were like stagnant water, without any brilliance to speak of.
Although it was deliberately concealed, Long Yuan still noticed Yuan Hunt's hand wrapped in gauze, as well as the dense scars on his bare arm, most of which were tooth marks.
"What are you doing here?" was a little hairy by Long Yuan's staring, and Yuan Hunt asked in shame.
"Are you tired?" Long Yuan said after a moment of deep thought.
Yuan Hunt was a little confused by Long Yuan's unexplained question, and he didn't know what Long Yuan meant, and he didn't know how to answer.
As the saying goes, there is no filial son in front of the bed for a long time, and Yuan Hunt has taken care of his mother for the fourth year, this filial piety and perseverance alone make Long Yuan have to admire, but Long Yuan can also see that Yuan Hunt is about to reach the limit.
Seeing Yuan Hunt's expression, Long Yuan didn't sell it, and said straight to the point: "Your mother's illness is caused by fire ant poison. Although this poison is insignificant to the Heavenly Destiny Master, it is deadly to ordinary people.
People who are affected by fire ant venom usually choose to commit suicide within a few months because they can't stand the torture of fire ant venom, and it's rare to be able to last as long as your mother for four years, but that's the limit, at most by the end of this year. ”
"Why, how can this be! Long Yuan, since you know everything, is there a way to deal with my mother, right?"
Long Yuan's words made Yuan Yuan Hunt like thunder and lightning, his legs were weak and he almost fell, just when he was in despair, he suddenly saw Long Yuan in front of him, and hurriedly grabbed Long Yuan's hand, clutched it in his hand, and asked hopefully.
But Long Yuan's words were destined to make him desperate, only to see Long Yuan shake his head regretfully, and said, "I'm sorry, with my current strength, I can't do anything." ”
Long Yuan's answer was like his mother announcing death, Yuan Hunt's mind was completely broken at this moment, he shook Long Yuan's hand away, pushed Long Yuan out of the door like crazy, and roared in his mouth: "Then what are you doing here, do you listen to you talk about this nonsense?"
How can a Heavenly Destiny Master like you understand the misfortunes of us ordinary people. What kind of bullshit Heavenly Destiny Master, even my mother can't save it, so what are you still cultivating!"
Seeing this scene, Long Yuan knew that it was useless to say more, and with a breath of Xuan Qi in his body, he forced Yuan Hunt, who was pushing, to retreat.
Looking at Yuan Hunt who was sitting on the ground, Long Yuan's heart was also mixed, he pulled over a chair and sat next to Yuan Hunt, his elbows supported the armrests, his palms resting on his cheeks, looking at the roof, his eyes were a little blurry, and a deep voice sounded in Yuan Hunt's ears, as if he was talking to Yuan Hunt, and it seemed that Long Yuan was muttering to himself.
Long Yuan told his story, hearing Long Yuan's story, Yuan Hunt looked at the young man in front of him in shock, only now did he know that the young man in front of him, who was three years younger than himself, was carrying such a heavy blood feud.
"You are not the only one who is miserable in this world, you are happy and lucky compared to some people. Now calm down, can you listen to me finish speaking?" Long Yuan retracted his gaze and looked at Yuan Hunt calmly.
Seeing Yuan Hunt nodding, Long Yuan continued, "Now I'll give you a chance to choose. ”
After speaking, Long Yuan took out the refined fire exorcism from the jade ring and explained: "This is the fire exorcism, a very common elixir among the Heavenly Destiny Master, although it cannot eradicate the fire ant venom in your mother, it can relieve the torment caused by the fire ant venom to a large extent, and this is also the limit of my current ability."
But you have to know that even if it is the most common elixir of the Heavenly Mandate Master, the medicinal power contained in it is not something that ordinary people can bear. ”
It was the first time Yuan Hunt had heard of these words from Long Yuan, and it seemed that a door was slowly opening to him in front of his eyes, and there was a little more brilliance in his eyes.
"Is there any risk or side effect of taking this fire dispersion?" Yuan Hunt was not a stupid person, seeing that Long Yuan had said so much, he naturally understood the meaning of Long Yuan's words.
A hint of appreciation flashed in Long Yuan's eyes, and then he said, "There are two points. Long Yuan stretched out two fingers and shook them, and said, "First, without destroying the medicinal properties, I diluted the fire dispersion so that your mother could withstand the medicinal power, but this method is just an attempt, and it is not clear whether this method is feasible."
Second, if this option works, then your mother will no longer be tortured by fire ant venom, but her life will be shortened to one month. ”
Yuan Hunt was silent, both of these choices were so cruel to him, but Yuan Hunt also knew in his heart that there was a place in this world where there would be the best of both worlds.
"The choice is up to you. However, you should remember that if you start with the smallest bottle, you can't stop once you take it. Long Yuan got up and put the porcelain vase containing the fire dispersal on the ground, then turned and left.
Looking at Long Yuan's departing figure, Yuan Hunt had the heart to stop, but his dry throat couldn't make a sound, and he could only look at the porcelain bottle on the ground in a daze.
Coming out of Yuan Hunt's house, Long Yuan's mood was also a little low, and that dusty memory was not good for him.
"Do you think that kid will choose?" said Yu Lao.
"I don't know. Long Yuan replied.
"I feel like he will. Yu Lao said affirmatively......
