Chapter 33: I Want to Be Stronger
After a short time, Yinxin returned, and her tearful appearance did not impress the soldiers guarding the right tower, but after reporting Lu Jingzhi's name, the soldiers of the right tower stood solemnly, asked her to wait in front of the door, and brought her words to Lord Garso. Lord Gaso really refused to go to the Left Tower, and didn't let the guards tell Yinxin what was wrong with her young master, the guards just told her that Gaso would come to visit the knight Lu Jingzhi in person tomorrow morning.
Silver Heart got this sentence and hurriedly ran back to report to Miss Sugar Candy. Tangtang was sleepy, and when she heard that Yinxin came back and had something to tell her, she got up from Lu Jingzhi's side with a strong fighting spirit, led Yinxin back to her room, listened to her return, and asked, "Did Lord Gasuo say when he would come over tomorrow?"
Yinxin replied: "No, I just said that I would come over after dawn." Tangtang sighed, pointed to a bowl of water on the wooden shelf next to the bed, and said, "The young master's stomach was empty just now, so I warmed two bowls of sweet water to warm his stomach and added some sweet radish juice." The young master drank a bowl, I can't drink it, this bowl is for you. ”
Yinxin responded when she heard this, and her heart suddenly relaxed, knowing that Miss was not annoyed with herself, and it was too scary for Miss to lose her temper just now, it seems that not only the young master is hurting Miss, but also the young master is hurting the young master. Thinking about such gossip and drinking sweet cold water, Yinxin no longer has the slightest anger at Miss.
Early the next morning, the witch doctor Gasso came, and when he saw Lu Jingyi's tired face, he knew that he had been tossing for a long time last night, and said, "Little guy, you wanted to get the corpse worm out last night?
Lu Jingzhi said stupidly: "There's nothing to say, I vomited in the middle of the night, and I was so nauseous that I can't eat anything now." ”
Gasso smiled: "The corpse insect is usually wrapped in ice pills, and when it is used, it only needs to be attached to the human body, just like a maggot attached to the bone, and it is difficult to get rid of it." You swallowed it in your stomach last night, and it's already firmly attached to your body, where can you get it?"
Lu Jing's face was uncertain, and he said, "Your old man didn't say it last night, how do I know." ”
Gasso smiled slyly and said, "Since I gave you something to eat, but you want to spit it out, of course you have to give you a little bitterness." It's a good way to remember. ”
Lu Jingzhi said angrily: "You old man came over so early in the morning, just to see my joke?!"
Gasuo took out a small bottle from his arms, raised it at Lu Jingzhi, and said, "I came here so early to suppress the corpse worms for you, you can't beat me before this." ”
Lu Jingzhi thought of the corpse worm in his stomach, and he didn't dare to have a little temper, so he hurriedly changed his smile and said, "How dare you, Lord Gasuo must have seen my bad face, but in fact, he was scared by the big fat knight last night." Although I won by luck, my face was cramped with fright, and I couldn't relax for a while. Although this face became faster than turning a book, fortunately, he was originally a child, and there was a doll's face, and it was not unusual for him to become faster in June.
Gasso said lightly: "It's okay, old Gaso didn't come for your face, but on the order of the Duke to refresh the corpse worm in your stomach." ”
Lu Jingzhi had also heard the tall thin disciple of the Corpse Refining Sect talk about it on the Two Realms Mountain earlier, and when Gasso mentioned it again, he naturally understood, and hurriedly said: "Then your old man will refill it, lest it break the ice and drink blood and eat meat in my stomach." ”
Gaso handed the small bottle in his hand to Lu Jingzhi and said, "Take a sip, you don't need more, just take a small sip." ”
Lu Jingzhi took the bottle, his tentacles were cold, and he was suspicious in his heart: "Is it ice fruit wine? I'm a human being, don't I think I'm dying fast enough to drink this?"
Ice fruit wine is the source of life for the undead, but for humans, it is poison. If you take a big sip, your stomach will be like a ball of ice, and you will inevitably have diarrhea afterwards, and you won't stop if you don't finish the cold of the ice fruit wine; if you drink a bowl, you can basically prepare for the aftermath; only the human ghost slaves who are ready to contribute to the lord will be forced to drink such a small bottle, and even their souls will be frozen after drinking.
Gasso laughed, "You're really suspicious, too. He is already an undead race, but he still keeps saying that he is a human being. Don't worry, Lord Duke still wants to use your mind and won't let you die. If you want to survive, take a sip. ”
Lu Jingzhi gently shook the bottle in his hand and said, "If your old man wants to kill me, he must not have to spend so much effort, it is a corpse worm and an ice fruit wine." As long as you set up the kid and throw it into the soul refining pool, you will directly turn into a zombie. What's more, you also saved me a few days ago, and this time I believe you. With that, he unscrewed the cap and took a small sip into the spout. Sure enough, it was cold in the throat, almost like it had frozen the throat into an ice lump. Just as he was about to scream, he suddenly felt a cold feeling being sucked by a numb place in his stomach, and Shu Tai, who couldn't say it, took a breath of turbid air to his throat and eyes, burped violently, squirted out, and shouted: "It's so cool." "I'm going to take another sip.
Gaso hurriedly said: "Enough, I can't drink anymore." The splitter snatched the ice fruit wine.
Lu Jingzhi's wine swelled up, and he smiled with a red face: "This ice fruit wine is indeed a good thing, but your old man is also a little stingy, so he won't drink it after taking a small sip." ”
Gasso carefully screwed the lid and said slowly: "It's not that old Gaso is stingy and reluctant to give you a drink, it's just that you can't drink too much now, the cold of the ice fruit wine will be absorbed by the ice pills when you renew the ice, and at the same time, the heat and damp poison in your body will be cleared, of course you will feel refreshed." But you're not completely undead now, and you're uncomfortable if you drink too much. ”
It turns out that whether it is an undead or not is judged by whether you can drink ice fruit wine and whether you can eat ice fruit ice mushroom. Lu Jingzhi relied on the fact that he had a corpse insect frozen in his stomach, and if he could drink a small sip of ice fruit wine, he would naturally be regarded as his own by the undead. Gasuo saw Lu Jingzhi's reaction when he drank the ice fruit wine, and he was also very satisfied - this kid couldn't get the corpse worm out after all, if he really got it out, the ice fruit wine he drank would become poison.
"Little one, old Gasso tells you that this corpse worm is most afraid of sulfur, and if you sprinkle sulfur powder on it, it will turn into a puff of smoke in less than two minutes. When Gasso had finished speaking, he got up and took his leave, and went back to the right tower with a big stick.
Lu Jingzhi didn't instruct Yinxin and Sijiu until the witch doctor Gaso left: "Go to the new house and clean up, there can't be anything in the house that has anything to do with sulfur." ”
Yinxin answered and went to clean up the room, Sijiu glanced at Lu Jingzhi, hesitated to answer, but it was inconvenient to go.
"Go ahead, don't be stunned. "The way of Lu Jing.
"Yes. Sijiu answered, hesitated and turned around and walked out, and when he walked to the door, he finally couldn't help but turn around and asked: "This young master, Lord Gasuo told you, sulfur powder is the nemesis of corpse insects, so ......"
"You say you're stupid. Lu Jingzhi couldn't help but scolded: "Since the old guy is willing to tell me this, he is not afraid that I will use sulfur powder to deal with the corpse insects in my stomach, but I am afraid that I will accidentally get on or eat sulfur powder by mistake and stimulate the corpse insects." Didn't you hear him say that this worm would turn into light smoke in two minutes? Two minutes is enough for it to bite me all over the stomach. ”
Sijiu suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "So that's the case." But, this young master, don't blame me for being stupid, I just didn't figure it out for a while. ”
Lu Jingzhi shook his head sadly and said: "Young master, I don't think you're stupid because you don't understand it, but Yinxin knows how to do things first, and then ask if you don't understand, why do you have to figure it out before you do it?"
Sijiu hurriedly bowed and said hurriedly: "The little one will go immediately, and the small one will go immediately." ”
After Sijiu's footsteps disappeared, Tangtang took Lu Jingzhi's hand and asked, "Brother Jing, didn't you say that you became a knight?
Lu Jingzhi smiled bitterly: "Yes, if I don't eat the worms, where can they rest assured that I will be a knight? ”
Tangtang sighed and said in a low voice: "Brother Jing, we don't have to live so well, it's not important to pick up or anything." Even if you eat a little coarse bread every day, as you used to, it doesn't matter. ”
Lu Jingzhi didn't answer, he didn't know what to say, at that time, if he was a little lax or soft on the fat knight, he was afraid that he would be the one who died. Although the fat girl said that he just wanted to hurt himself, but who knows if he can stop it? If he gets a little heavier, he will be crippled even if he doesn't die. Can this castle of the dead accommodate a crippled human to survive, not to mention that he has to protect Sugar Candy from the undead. Only by making yourself appear valuable can you better protect the people you cherish. Now in addition to Sugar Candy, he also has Sijiu, Yinxin to cover, and two stupid brothers living in the stable.
"Sister Rong'er, I have to make myself stronger. Lu Jing said with a resolute face, "If we want to survive here, we have to become stronger." If you don't become strong, you will be like Sijiu and Yinxin, your life will be in the hands of others, and you will be in danger, just afraid that if you say the wrong word or do the wrong thing, you will be killed. ”
Tangtang said anxiously: "But I'm afraid that before you get stronger, you will be eaten by those ghosts." ”
Lu Jingzhi comforted her and said: "It's not so easy, there are more ghosts who want to eat us, aren't we getting better and better now? You see that when we were with the fat man and them before, we were prisoners; and then I followed the ghost to ride Belgo, and then we became a big soldier; and then Brother Jing went out for a walk by myself, and when I came back, I became a soldier; and then I fought a battle, and I became a knight." You see, our luck has always been so good, but we didn't follow the right person before, and let their bad luck wash away our good luck. "I don't know if he's blaming the fat man and the fat man's brother for his bad luck, or blaming Tangtang's brother for having a bad year, anyway, he and Tangtang have the best luck.
Tangtang listened to Brother Jing's interesting speech, laughed, and threw her anxious mood out of the clouds. But after all, she didn't worry about the worms in Brother Jing's stomach, and desperately thought about what the insect medicine she took twice a year was called when she was at home. In fact, even if she wanted to, she couldn't buy it here.
If you want to know what happens next, let's see the next breakdown.
