There are still three days left before Chinese New Year's Eve, and the old owner Bilodo can no longer support it, he has now shown severe drowsiness symptoms, although the previous terrible vomiting and diarrhea have stopped, but Qi Lin knows that this kind of sleepiness symptoms that can't wake up represent a more terrible fact, that is, Bilodo has entered a state of shock.

Qi Lin didn't even need to feel his pulse to know that Bilodo's heart rate was now completely abnormal, and his liver, kidneys, and even more internal organs had been damaged like never before.

Ever since five days ago, Bilodo had suddenly developed severe vomiting and diarrhea, and finally he had excreted a liquid like rice water, and Qi Lin had expected this day.

After all, Bilodo showed the symptoms of ingesting poisonous hepatitis poisonous mushrooms by mistake, and even Qi Lin could accurately deduce that the cause of this symptom must be one of the two major types of toxins, poisonous umbrella toxin and phalloidal toxin, but Qi Lin had no way at all.

Although Qi Lin knew that as long as he used the corresponding antidote and adrenaline, he was very sure that he could save Bilodo, a kind old man, but in this damn medieval town, how could Qi Lin get the antidote to adrenaline and poisonous mushrooms.

Ever since he inexplicably crossed into this dirty, cramped and strange town like a pigsty for Qi Lin half a year ago, Qi Lin felt that he had not been smooth.

He was originally an ordinary citizen of the earth, with the dream of saving lives and helping the wounded, he chose to become a brain surgeon after graduating from clinical graduate school, but unfortunately he lost his parents after a car accident, and left with his parents with half of his palm, without which he naturally could not continue to operate.

28 years old, this is only the beginning of the age for doctors, but for Qi Lin it means the end of his career as a doctor, although the hospital has the intention of training him to become an internal medicine or psychiatrist, but Qi Lin, who was physically and mentally frustrated, has decided to give up his dream of fighting for half his life when he was forced to leave the operating table.

Qi Lin, who left the hospital and is a disabled person, although he has the savings inherited from his parents, and even because of the car accident compensation, the amount of money is large enough for people to easily buy a few houses as a chartered public to live, but Qi Lin is not willing to become a rice worm waiting for death after all.

After a year of silence, Qi Lin decided to start his own business and open a store, and just when the supermarket he opened had just finished preparing for the opening of tomorrow, he inexplicably crossed over.

For Qi Lin, this crossing was absolutely inexplicable, he just slept for a while, and when he woke up, he found that he was in a filthy sewage.

He was still wearing his pajamas, and he was even covered with the quilt that his mother had left for him, and the heavy but absolutely thick and warm quilt was one of Qi Lin's thoughts about his mother.

But in addition to these, Qi Lin can no longer find familiar things, even he himself has returned to the strange but very familiar appearance of a 16-year-old, saying that it is strange because Qi Lin does not have a little pimple on his face now, you must know that he was full of acne back then, the most critical difference is that Qi Lin's lost half of his palm has also grown.

Qi Lin once thought that he was dreaming, after all, not only his own state, but even the buildings on both sides of his street with simple shapes, thick walls, rough masonry, and thick gray seams enough to insert a finger were beyond Qi Lin's imagination, and the first feeling of this kind of architecture to Qi Lin was that of fourteenth-century Europe.

And the moment a foul smell came, Qi Lin knew that he was definitely not dreaming, as a doctor, Qi Lin had not smelled something disgusting, whether it was the embalmed corpse and brain, or the smell of some special drugs, it was disgusting.

But the stench of the mud, which was mixed with the internal organs of fish and the feces and urine of animals and humans, and then piled up and fermented for several days, was absolutely impressive, and Qi Lin felt that even if he was anesthetized, he would wake up if he smelled such a smell.

And it was this stench that woke Qi Lin up directly, and with a short period of confusion, Qi Lin finally reacted, and he seemed to have crossed over.

However, crossing is not a happy thing, in Huaxia, no matter how much pain Qi Xin feels in his heart, but he is still rich materially, he can eat whatever he wants, and there is a group of friends and confidants who can complain to each other.

And at this moment, in this European city that is like the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, Qi Lin finds that his survival has become a problem, he cannot communicate with people, he cannot find food, he cannot adapt to the smell of the whole city, and even drinking water has become a difficult thing.

Qi Lin really didn't dare to drink the well water with a few mouse corpses floating on the water, he had the impression that the Black Death that swept through Europe, that is, the plague was originally spread in drinking water, and he didn't have any medicine at hand now, let alone the plague, even a simple diarrhea could kill him.

The next half year is definitely an unforgettable half year for Qi Lin, and this half year also reflects the strong vitality and adaptability of the earthlings, especially the Chinese people.

In half a year, Qi Lin learned the language of this city called Willis, and he also did dirty and tiring work that he had never imagined, in order to survive, he even sold the quilt made by his mother, and the tender yellow quilt embroidered with white flowers helped Qi Lin survive the first two months.

Qi Lin was overwhelmed by the hardships of life, and he thought of suicide several times, but the inexplicable insistence in his heart allowed him to survive until he met Bilodo.

Bilodo is not a big man, as a small grain store owner, he is just the most ordinary member of the city of Willis, the only difference is probably that his good nature has not been worn away by the difficult and dark life.

When Qi Lin was most destitute and about to starve to death, Bilodo appeared, and he saved Qi Lin who had fainted in front of his shop, giving him food, drink, and the simplest place to live, and this was a chance for Qi Lin to survive at that time.

When Zilin showed extraordinary numerical talent (he could mentally calculate the four arithmetic of the thousands), Bilodo gave him the opportunity to work, a real job that could be called work, to become the bookkeeper of the grain store.

Bilodo is too old, he may be considered a middle-aged man on earth in his fifties, but in this small city where the average life expectancy is probably only thirty years old, he is already as old as seventy years old in his fifties.

Although this small, dilapidated grain store doesn't have much business, it is still very difficult for Bilodo, whose brain is slowly starting to degenerate, to figure out the various accounts.

And he didn't marry in his life, he didn't have any heirs who could help him take care of the business of the grain store, although he saved Qi Lin's life, but from another aspect, Qi Lin also saved Bilodo's life, and Qi Lin, who settled down in the grain store, kept all the accounts in order with the most basic four arithmetic.

The dilapidated grain store slowly showed an upward trend under the care of two people, the number of customers increased day by day, and the advantage of clear accounts made the farmers outside the city more willing to sell grain to them, even if the price was a little lower, but at least not to deceive these simple farmers like other grain stores.

Just when Qi Lin and Bilodo were satisfied with their current lives, an accident occurred, after all, the market is fixed, and Bilodo's grain store business is booming, so naturally the business of other grain stores will be frustrated.

In fact, long before Bilodo was poisoned, Qi Lin had already noticed that something was wrong, and from time to time there were fresh faces to hang out in the store, and these fresh faces seemed to have guys pinned to their waists, obviously these people who seemed to have nothing to do should be the dark side of the city, a group of people called rats, they are like real rats, living in the darkest and most uninhabited corners of the city, as small as stealing and extortion, to kill people and goods, these rats can be regarded as a combination of the dark side of the entire city.

Qi Lin had been in contact with these people in the previous months of survival, and even most of the money in his hands was robbed by these guys.

If it weren't for Qi Lin's size of more than one meter and eight meters, he still had a certain deterrent power, and the ordinary rat who was really desperate was not his opponent, but he was afraid that he would have been slaughtered by the rat a long time ago, and he fainted at the door of Bilodo with hunger at that time, and it was also because all the money was robbed by the rat.

Because of those contacts, Qi Lin also has a certain understanding of mice.

Rats, the dark side of the city they live in, live on all illegal behaviors, most of them are at the bottom of the city, that is, the level of gangsters, but there are also a few big rats who can talk to the city's administrator, known as Lord Count Pothos.

Unlike the Count's army, the presence of rats helps the Count maintain order throughout the city's underground, which is one of the reasons why the Count is able to tolerate their presence.

Of course, in addition to the orders of the Earl, these rats will sometimes accept other people's employment to do things such as murder, extortion, theft and robbery.

And these rats obviously don't come to the grain store to buy and sell grain, if they really have money in their hands, the place these people choose to spend money is definitely a bar or casino, even if a glass of wine there is enough food in exchange for their survival for a day!

Qi Lin reminded Bilodo about this, and even he was ready to fight hard, although it was only a kitchen knife, but Qi Lin believed that if he tried hard, he would still be able to block a few ordinary mice.

After all, because of the nutritional intake, the size of these rats generally did not exceed one meter seven, and the difference in size was ten centimeters, which was enough for Qi Lin to have a certain advantage in the battle.

But Qi Lin never thought that these rats didn't think about doing it at all, and they chose to poison them.

To tell the truth, although it is common to see people using poison to kill people invisibly or something in costume TV series, in fact, before the birth of a complete chemical system, poison was definitely high-end and high-grade, and the life of an ordinary civilian may not necessarily have a bottle of poison worth.

But Qi Lin forgot that although in ancient times, although there were no synthetic poisons with strong effects like modern times, the use of natural poisons was not weak, which naturally included poisonous mushrooms, which were the easiest to get their hands on.

Mice should also have a certain amount of research on the toxicity of poisonous mushrooms, and the poisonous mushrooms they chose for toxic hepatitis rely on the toxins that are molecular substances in cyclic peptides, which have a characteristic that is resistant to drying and high temperatures.

This substance is very lethal to the human body, but it has a long incubation period, basically after twenty or thirty hours after eating, the symptoms of poisoning will appear, and the lethality rate is also very high, even more than ninety percent.

Qi Lin could even imagine how these rats poisoned the rats, they definitely dried the poisonous mushrooms and ground them first, and then sent people to attract the attention of themselves and Bilodo, while the others sprinkled the poisonous mushroom powder into the food of the two.

Although Qi Lin didn't know why he wasn't poisoned, their plan still succeeded, and now even if Qi Lin reported the rat's crime to the Earl's security forces, he couldn't find any evidence.

Not to mention that the security forces are only responsible for some brawls on the surface, even if they are responsible for poisoning and killing, Qi Lin has no way to prove that the rats poisoned and killed people.

There is no professional autopsy in this place, and if the security forces beat him upside down, Qi Lin may even be sent to the gallows as a poisoner.

It's not that the security forces can't do this kind of thing, as the security keepers of this city, they are just hooligans and blackmailers with official status, this Qi Lin has known for several months, and in addition to being robbed by rats, part of the money on his body is extorted by these sheriffs.

Sighing softly, Qi Lin fed Bilo another glass of light salt water, although it didn't help, but there was only so much Qi Lin could do now.

After looking at the sleeping Bilodo, Qi Lin took out the cash box under the counter, although Qi Lin was in charge of the accounts, but in fact he never touched any money from Bilodo, after all, in Qi Lin's opinion, everything he did was just to repay Bilodo's life-saving grace, as for how much money Bilodo had, it was Bilodo's business.

But now Qi Lin has to prepare for Bilodo's funeral, although Qi Lin feels that it is not necessary, but Bilodo, who believes in religion, has said to Qi Lin before that he wants a decent religious funeral, but the cost of such a funeral is definitely expensive, after all, the appearance fee of the priests is not low.

Looking at the coins of different sizes and colors in the cash box, Qi Lin smiled a little helplessly, the largest currency he had ever touched before, that is, silver coins, more often than not, he had a few copper coins in his hand, and he had only seen gold coins as the largest currency.

At this moment, there were more than a dozen gold coins in front of Qi Lin, as well as more silver and copper coins, which were already all the liquidity of this grain store, but it was still unknown whether these gold coins could ask a priest to preside over the funeral.

Thinking of this, Qi Lin reached out and took out a gold coin and flicked it in his hand, and when he heard the crisp sound of the gold coin, Qi Lin said in Chinese: "A penny is difficult to defeat a hero, and the ancients are honest and do not deceive me." ”

Unexpectedly, Qi Lin's voice was accompanied by a mechanical prompt sound: "It has been detected that you have enough funds to enter the supermarket to shop, whether you have consumed one gold coin to buy a supermarket membership." ”
