Chapter 34: The Shadow of the Dawn (Last)

When Jiang Chen woke up, he opened his eyes and saw two faces in a daze.

He tried his best to distinguish carefully, and his vision gradually became clearer, and he saw that one of them was Jiang Wu.

"Brother, you're finally awake!" Jiang Wu shouted happily: "Sister Junzhu, my brother is awake!"

A young girl walked into the room quickly when she heard this, and Jiang Chen saw her, it was the third lady Junzhu.

"Jiang Wu, are you okay?" Jiang Chen was very happy, he wanted to laugh, but his whole body muscles were weak, and his smile looked very reluctant.

"I'm fine!" Jiang Wu nodded: "It's you, you've been asleep for many days!"

"Can you still cultivate?" Jiang Chen asked with concern.

"Of course you can!" Jun Zhu said: "I didn't expect you to really find the phoenix blood fruit, with Miss Ben's Dan technique, as long as there is an elixir, it can naturally be prepared into an elixir, and the medicine will cure the disease!"

"Thank you, Miss Junzhu!" Jiang Chen said gratefully: "Our brothers are grateful for your care, and we are grateful for the grace of saving lives!"

"No thanks!" Jun Zhu smiled: "This is my duty to practice medicine." However, the medical expenses of two hundred taels of silver cannot be less!"

"Two hundred taels!" Jiang Chen's heart sank, and he almost fell asleep again.

"You don't need money for the heartburn pill! You have been asleep for seven days this time, do you know how much elixir you have taken from me?" Jun Zhu pouted and said: "Two hundred taels is still based on your feelings for some responsibility, and I gave you a discount!"

"Yes, yes!" Jiang Chen hurriedly said, "I will definitely find a way to repay this money!"

"The medical expenses are put aside for the time being, there is still a big matter waiting for you to deal with!" Jun Zhu pointed to a person beside Jiang Wu and said, "Who is this dumb man, how can he be with you?"

"Dumb?" Jiang Chen was stunned, Jun Zhu was referring to a young man with a scar on his face and a somewhat familiar appearance.

He thought about it for a while, and finally remembered, "Oh, it's you! You're the guy who got hurt on the mountain?"

The young man nodded vigorously.

Jun Zhu said, "Do you recognize this guy? It was the coachman who sent you to the Chenwu Gym with him. He was poisoned by snakes, and I cured him too, and the medical expenses will be counted on your head!"

"But this guy is weird and can't speak. No matter what you ask him, he just nods, and he can't get away, and he stays next to you. In order to facilitate the care, we moved you from the gym to the medical hall, and he came with him. He will stay where you are, like your shadow. I gave him a name and called him 'Tatsukage'. ”

"Chen Ying?" Jiang Chen was stunned.

The young man nodded as if in agreement.

"Brother, what's going on?" Jiang Wu asked.

Jiang Chen said: "I saw this man dying in Nanshan, so I helped him down the mountain by the way." I don't know him either. ”

"I really like to meddle in things!" Jun Zhuxiu frowned slightly: "You brothers, what a weird person! Didn't you say that Jiang Wu's heart is too soft-hearted? Why do you know that the heartburn pill is overdrawing your body, but you still want to meddle in your own affairs? If it weren't for the coachman's kindness, I'm afraid you won't be able to come back! Also, I gave the coachman a bottle of good pills, which will be counted in your account!"

"Yes, yes!" Jiang Chen agreed, he was also articulate, but in front of Jun Zhu, he always seemed to be at a loss of words, thinking that he owed her too much money.

Jiang Chen said to Chen Ying: "I'm fine, your poison has been cured, you can go." See you again in the future!"

Chen Ying shook his head, he pointed at Jiang Chen, and then at himself.

"You want to stay and repay the favor, don't you?" Jiang Chen asked.

Tatsukage nodded.

"Don't repay the favor!" Jiang Chen said with a smile: "I received my heart, I didn't expect you to repay your kindness when I saved you, but I was too soft-hearted to do it without guilt." ”

Tatsukage shook his head, and he pointed to the ground with a resolute expression, still saying that he wanted to stay.

Jiang Chen frowned and said, "What if you stay, what should we do if you eat and live?"

Jun Zhu smiled: "You don't have to worry about this. This Chenying is very weird, he's been with you these days, he can take a nap when he is sleepy and standing against the wall, and he wakes up as soon as someone enters the house, and he doesn't have to sleep at all. ”

"As for eating, it's also very weird! He eats whatever we give him, and he eats as much as he wants, and he is not picky at all. In order to get rid of him, we used to not give him food for three days in a row, and he stayed just as well!"

And he doesn't speak, he doesn't do much, and when he gets used to it, he can act as if he doesn't exist. Therefore, he is a shadow of you, it doesn't matter if you have it or not. ”

Jiang Chen heard this, and became even more strange: "How can this be? Is there something wrong with his brain?"

"Probably. Junzhu said: "I've also heard that poisoning for too long will poison the brain, and even if it is cured, it will become a fool." He guess he's just stupid. Moreover, he only recognizes you, and when you talk to him, he shakes his head and nods, and when we talk to him, he either turns a deaf ear or nods stupidly all the time. ”

"Hey!" Jiang Chen sighed: "Since you can't drive it away, let's stay." However, you have healthy limbs, be diligent and help us with some chores!"

Tatsukage probably understood, and he nodded.

"What will you do?" Jiang Chen asked again.

Tatsukage was silent for a while, then suddenly pointed to a firewood knife in the corner of the room.

"Can you chop wood?" Jiang Chen smiled slightly: "Well, it's good, it's finally a little useful." I help the landlord chop wood every day, and she doesn't mind giving you an extra bowl of rice to eat. Well, you'll be in charge of chopping wood from now on!"

Chen Ying hurriedly shook his head, he walked quickly to the chai knife, picked up the chai knife, held it in his hand, and weighed it.

Then, he suddenly danced the firewood knife in his hand and displayed a set of complex and fancy knife techniques, Jiang Chen and the others were dazzled and dumbfounded.

"It turns out that you can use a knife!" Jiang Wu muttered: "Your knife skills are so skilled, maybe you are a master! It just so happens that my brother doesn't know how to do it, you stay by his side, like his shadow, and you can protect him." ”

Chen Ying nodded, he held the firewood knife and stayed by Jiang Chen's side. In addition to the rusty wood knife, it looks quite a bit of a personal bodyguard.

After Jiang Chen woke up, he was able to eat and drink, and Junzhu's elixir was very effective, and in just three or five days, he was much better.

In the past few days, many people have come to visit Jiang Chen in the Taoist hall, including his book friends Li Xiucai and his wife, the shopkeeper Hu of the grocery store, the shopkeeper Wang of the dyeing workshop, and several villagers such as the village chief of Zhangjia Village and Zhang Mingjiang.

Chen Ying is really like Jiang Chen's shadow, wherever Jiang Chen goes, he will follow him silently, without talking, without much trouble, without smiling, and without other expressions. When he slept at night, he stood motionless next to Jiang Chen's bed. Jiang Chen was very unaccustomed to it, and finally said that Chen Ying would stand outside the door.

"The gym hasn't been in business for a long time!" Jiang Chen said: "We still owe so much medical expenses, and we brothers don't know how many commissions we have to accept in order to pay off the debts!"

After recovering slightly, Jiang Chen reopened the Chenwu Gym, and he also wrote a leaflet, saying that the two Taoists of the Chenwu Gym had to worship famous teachers, and the Taoism had greatly increased, and it was already the leading Dao Pavilion in Beiliang County. It's a pity that although a lot of advertisements have been made, the Chenwu Gym is still crowded.
