I don't know if it's because of the location or the mood of Hongyan, the early morning in Colwater is quiet and cool.

Standing at the door and looking at the wooden house sandwiched in the street, I was very happy to see the fruits of the labor of a few people yesterday in an afternoon, and suddenly felt that if I lived in such an ordinary city, with such a wooden house, it would be a good thing for several people to live together ordinarily.

In fact, only the roof, floor and door are made of wood, and the walls are still stone.

I was happily walking next to a person, and I couldn't see it, it was the guy from yesterday.

When he was a teenager, his hair was trimmed very cleanly, his coarse linen clothes were very neat, especially the straw sandals he braided were very beautiful, like a handicraft, and he seemed to be a poor but serious family, but Hongyan was more curious about his actions.

Because he walked to the door again and was about to knock on the door, Hongyan was very decisive and kicked him in directly.

Hongyan went out without locking, so the boy was kicked into the door with a scream, Hongyan followed and locked the door, and before the boy could react, Hongyan covered his mouth and pushed into the living room.

Of course, the sudden scream attracted several people out of the house, and then I saw Hongyan dragging someone over, and it seemed that he had seen it.

Hongyan took out his sword and pointed it at his neck, so frightened that the boy's eyes widened and he didn't move.

"First of all, don't call because I just have a few questions for you, I don't want to scare the neighbors, and then don't be afraid, if you answer, I can give you money, and finally I will put the sword down, you have to know that there are five of us here, and if you still call it, you will die a miserable death." ”

If Yan Meng'er slapped him earlier, this is not a question, this is a threat, but there are indeed many questions.

Hongyan put away his sword, but suddenly found that the boy's eyes were staring at his hand, no, it should be a bracelet.

Hongyan smiled: "This is a magic prop, what's wrong?"

"Are you a magician?" the boy asked, staring at Lan Xin.

Whether it is a magician or a swordsman, there are indeed not many poor people who can cultivate, because if there is no need, who will go back to help the poor develop the magic spring and guidance.

Hongyan shook his head, "I'm not a magician, but I'm a swordsman." ”

The boy didn't speak, staring at Hongyan's bracelet.

"If you answer my question, I can teach you to learn. Hongyan said with a smile, temptation is more convenient than threat, and things that are originally very serious are always not serious here in Hongyan.

The boy's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he shook his head: "Thank you for your kindness, but I don't want to burden my family, no, I don't think my family can afford it either." ”

The boy smiled shyly.

He seemed to understand that something was wrong.

"If you don't buy consumables and props, you don't need money to cultivate, and I don't charge tuition, how about it?"

"Don't you need money? Can I learn? Can I become like you?" the boy was excited.

"I guess I can, but it will take time. "If you want to be like me.

Obviously I am teaching, how do I feel like I am begging him to learn, Hongyan smiled bitterly.

The boy was stunned when he heard this, and whispered, "Then I'd better give up, I still have to help the family." ”

"Help, what's the help?" Hongyan smiled harmlessly.

For this kind of innocent teenager like Anna, smiling is the best way to get closer, just like a small animal, if you are kind to it and smile at it, it will be close to you without hesitation.

"I'm going to Uncle Wright's to do a handyman. ”

"Oh yes, but how can you still have time to knock on the door when you're so busy, are you lying? ”

The boy exclaimed, "No, I've been knocking for ten years, and there's enough time." ”

Hongyan couldn't help laughing, "You're insane, you can knock on the door of an empty room, you still knock for ten years, haha." ”

The boy blushed, and it was obvious that he should have known that this was a foolish thing.

"Well, I'm sure you're not lying, but you should also know that no one usually does this kind of stupid thing without a reason, and if you tell me the reason, I might be able to accept it. ”

The boy was stunned, knowing that he had never asked to believe him, and even his mother persuaded him.

"The benefactor said that if I could keep knocking on the door of this place, my mother would not be in danger. ”

"Benefactor?Danger?"

"Ten years ago my mother was seriously ill, and it was a magician who saved her, and he told me that as long as I kept knocking on the door here," the boy began, "I believe in my benefactor, but I don't know if it really works." ”

"Haven't you been knocking all the time? It's been 10 years. ”

The boy nodded, "Because mom has always been healthy, but recently... Yesterday was almost..."

That's why I only knocked on the door yesterday in the afternoon, but I didn't even forget to knock on the door like this, for ordinary people, the words of a magician are indeed too special.

Another clue to be arranged?

"Then let's go see your mother, okay?" Hongyan asked.

"Is that okay? thank you!" the boy was very happy and excited.

"You wait here for a while, so it's okay if you don't go to work, right?"

"It doesn't matter, Uncle Wright is a temporary worker, and if you don't go, you just don't get paid. ”

Hongyan nodded, and then beckoned a few people to prepare to leave.

Yan Meng'er asked softly, "Although you are a pharmacist, do you really know how to suffer from ordinary people's illnesses?"

"Let's go and see it first, and if you can't solve it, go to the city and find him a doctor. ”

The burly suddenly asked, "When are you going to the Mercenary Guild?"

Hongyan was stunned, he didn't shout and went directly, it seems that he still listened to what he said yesterday.

"When it's over, go. Hongyan said with a smile.

The five followed the boy out the door.

The boy's name is Alan, and he lives a little far away from the wooden house, and it is almost the end of this civilian area after ten minutes of walking, and the house is very ordinary and small, only one, because it is only him and his mother who live.

There was a desk in the door, the room was simple and clean, there was a bed in the room, and her mother slept there.

"Mom shouldn't be able to wake up at this point in time, so you don't have to worry about it, come here. ”

Alan beckoned Hongyan and the others to come to the bedside, and Allen's mother slept very deeply, but it was very heavy, and there was no sign that it was a patient.

"Do you know what your mother's illness is?" Hongyan asked.

Alan shook his head, "Mom also had this disease ten years ago, she would fall asleep during the day and only wake up occasionally at night, it was the magician benefactor who helped her cure her, and her mother has been taking medicine, but she took medicine the day before yesterday, and her mother was sick again yesterday." ”

"What medicine?"

"The little pill given by the magician benefactor, many bottles, my mother eats every day, but unfortunately there are none. Alan took out an empty bottle from the bedside, "I thought my mother would be completely fine after eating, but it turned out that my mother was sick again after only one day of eating." ”

Hongyan took the medicine bottle.

Hey, this isn't an ordinary medicine bottle, this is a high-level sealing bottle, a special bottle to prevent the loss of potion magic.

It seems that yes, the reason why Alan knocked on the door every day was to attract the attention of Hongyan and others, and the medicine happened to be taken the day before Hongyan came, and it also caused Alan to go at noon the next day, which is not a coincidence.

It's really terrifying to think about it, the medicine of more than ten years ago, all the way to the door of hundreds of years ago, if it is calculated by one person, how terrifying is the old monster that can live for hundreds of years, and if it is arranged by multiple people, how cautious is a plan that lasts for hundreds of years.

But the other party also clearly told Hongyan about their existence, so Hongyan was not worried about them, but worried about their purpose, what they wanted to do, or what did they want Hongyan or someone here to do?

Thinking too much is also a floating cloud, Hongyan asked Alan to get up and then went to the bedside.

The problems that can be solved with magic are not problems, since it is related to magic power, then use magic to check it, maybe it can be solved, it just so happens that Hongyan has no attributes and no characteristics, not to mention that it is no obstacle to the magician swordsman, and it is a good thing similar to Yuan Li for ordinary people.

Hongyan sent magic power to Allen's mother's hands, and sure enough, Hongyan's magic power was absorbed as soon as he entered, typical symptoms of lack of magic power, ordinary people also have magic power, but they don't have or can't be exploited, once the magic power is missing, whether it is an ordinary person or a cultivator, prostration, weakness, lethargy, etc. are all symptoms of self-protection, but an ordinary person rarely has this kind of situation, after all, he doesn't deal with magic unless...

Hongyan felt the magic of being continuously absorbed, even devoured.

Unless something deliberately absorbs its magic.

Careless, Hongyan frowned.
