Chapter 40: Mr. Hongbo
After Ye Xingchuan finished speaking, he felt that his behavior just now was extremely naΓ―ve, why did he impulsively go up and smash the storyteller's field? He thought back to the scene just now, his ears were red, and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.
Xiao Bei and the little worm drank two sips of tea with him and left, leaving him alone The more he thought about it, the more embarrassed he became.
Xiao Bei said that he would not treat others like defending Zhou Song.
But in his eyes, the hatred for Zhou Song is far greater than the love, he just has to temporarily join forces with Zhou Song, and if he doesn't take revenge, he will never give up.
But it seems that unconsciously, his feelings for Zhou Song have gradually become subtle.
In order to hide his mood, he poured his tea one by one, and was not in the mood to find the storyteller who could tell the theory better.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Ye Xingchuan called Xiao Er and was about to settle the bill, but was told by Xiao Er that the money had already been paid.
At this time, the storyteller had finished speaking, packed up his things and walked towards Ye Xingchuan.
"Little boy, I'm willing to gamble and lose and pay your tea money, how about it, what is it?"
This storyteller is not polite, and he has to come to inform him after paying the money.
Ye Xingchuan also looked at him like a strange person, and he didn't want to be involved with him, so he drank the last sip of tea, stood up and bowed politely: "Then thank you sir." β
As he spoke, Ye Xingchuan bypassed him, but was pulled by him.
"This son, I see that you are very talented in storytelling, do you want to follow me?"
Ye Xingchuan was a little embarrassed by what he said, and he was already entangled in whether his previous behavior was a little embarrassing, and when he said this, his face turned even redder: "I'm sorry, I don't have this ambition." β
As he spoke, he shook off the storyteller's hand.
"Wait, Childe, come with me."
The storyteller didn't let go, but dragged him without saying anything.
"What are you going to do, sir?"
Ye Xingchuan also dragged hard, and the storyteller couldn't pull him.
"Don't worry, Childe, it'll be fine in a moment."
Seeing that he couldn't pull him, Mr. Storyteller simply let go of his hand, and as soon as he let go, Ye Xingchuan's expression relaxed, and he was willing to go with him.
He took Ye Xingchuan into a small box next to him, and Ye Xingchuan was full of doubts in his heart:
"What are you going to do, sir?"
He has a lot of energy in his hands, and if this storyteller messes around, he promises to knock out his teeth with a single punch.
And Mr. Storyteller didn't say much, but put his two fingers together, like a point, and poked him heavily on the back of his neck while Ye Xingchuan was not paying attention.
"Ahh
was suddenly poked violently, Ye Xingchuan almost jumped up, the storyteller was not ordinarily forceful, it was so strong that it seemed to pierce his cervical vertebrae.
The storyteller stroked his beard calmly and nodded thoughtfully: "Well, it seems that I guessed right." β
"Guess what?!"
Ye Xingchuan was a little annoyed by Mr. Storyteller's actions, and did not beat him in the last politeness.
"I guess there's a worm in your body, and it's particularly tricky."
As soon as these words came out, Ye Xingchuan's anger immediately disappeared, and was replaced by surprise: "How do you know?" β
"Hmph," the storyteller laughed proudly, "I can see at a glance what you have hit, how about it, do you want to consider the matter of apprenticeship?" β
"Can you cure this worm, sir?"
"If I can see it, of course I can cure it."
Ye Xingchuan was silent, if this storyteller was telling the truth, he would cure the red brocade insect in the blue wolf, and there would be no need to travel a long distance to Tongque Mountain, of course, it would be understandable; But if it is a lie, the storyteller's purpose is not pure, and he needs to stay away.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Mr. Storyteller was not in a hurry, and dropped a sentence, "If Childe thinks about it, he will come back tomorrow." β
After the storyteller left, Ye Xingchuan didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly went downstairs, Xiao Bei, Xiao Worm and Sheng Feiying were waiting for him below, and they made an appointment to separate to inquire about the weaponsmith during the day, and then meet again for dinner.
At the dinner table, Sheng Feiying briefly talked about the harvest - no, Xiao Bei and they had no clue, and they spent half of their time listening to Ye Xingchuan talking, while Ye Xingchuan spent most of his time telling stories, let alone inquiring about the news.
"Speaking of which, does Xiao Gongzi think that Mr. Storyteller this afternoon is a little strange?"
Ye Xingchuan pretended to mention it inadvertently, and Xiao Bei didn't notice anything wrong at all: "Is there anything?" I think he's just a liar with a mouth full of trains. β
Ye Xingchuan was noncommittal, Xiao Bei was just eating as usual, and slowly, a strange smile appeared on his face, he put his arm around Ye Xingchuan's shoulder, and asked ambiguously: "Brother Ye, this is, after listening to Mr. Storyteller's words, I am still in my heart......"
"Go, go!" Ye Xingchuan pushed him away, secretly thinking about the words of the storyteller in his heart.
He no longer thought what Mr. Storyteller said about Zhou Song and the Divine Machine Pavilion, he just listened to it and was upset, he was more concerned about what Mr. Storyteller just said about the treatment of red brocade insects, is it true? I'm afraid you can only find out if you ask directly.
On the second day, he came to listen to the story as promised, and sat in the previous position again, and the storyteller also saw him at a glance, and hurriedly ran to him after speaking: "I knew that Gongzi would come, how about it, do you want to worship me as a teacher?" β
Ye Xingchuan thought about it all night, the apprentice can accept it casually first, and see if the storyteller has any way to cure him, if there is an emergency, then talk about it.
The bugs in his body would explode at any time, and he didn't want to be turned into a walking corpse that could only suck blood by the bugs before he rescued Zhou Song.
"Mr. said yesterday that he would cure the worms in my body, is that true?"
The storyteller smiled: "Of course, but the risk is very high, nine deaths." β
Ye Xingchuan immediately became vigilant, and the storyteller patted him on the shoulder instead: "Don't be nervous, let's go down and talk while eating?" β
The storyteller didn't seem to have eaten for a long time, and he was not polite to Ye Xingchuan at all, he came up and ordered a large table of dishes, and called for good wine, as soon as Xiao Bei and the others came in, they saw Ye Xingchuan sitting in front of a bunch of good wine and dishes, and immediately greeted him.
Xiao Bei patted him on the shoulder: "Brother Ye, add a few more pairs of chopsticks, don't you mind?" β
Ye Xingchuan saw that Mr. Storyteller didn't mean to stop him, so he nodded: "Yes, wait for Xiao Gongzi to pay." β
"Hey! Talking about money hurts feelings! Xiao Bei smiled, beckoned Xiao Er to add a few more pairs of chopsticks, and sat down to eat.
The storyteller didn't see it, and took the initiative to introduce himself: "Everyone, your name is Gongsun Hongbo, and you are known as Mr. Hongbo, thank you for coming to the apprenticeship banquet today." β
Ye Xingchuan suddenly squirted out a mouthful of wine, Xiao Bei was stunned for two seconds, and immediately laughed: "No, Brother Ye, do you want to learn to tell a story?" Hahahaha......"
Xiao Bei laughed breathlessly, while Sheng Feiying looked at Ye Xingchuan in shock: "Young Master Ye, now is not the time to learn this." β
Ye Xingchuan was speechless, and finally held his forehead, and said helplessly: "This gentleman said that he can help me cure the insects on my body." β
"Is that true?!"
Everyone immediately stopped laughing, and all looked at Mr. Hongbo in surprise, and Mr. Hongbo calmly swallowed a sip of wine: "My Mr. Hongbo never deceives people." β
"However, this method is very dangerous, and it just so happens that you are all here, so I will talk to you and see if you agree."
The crowd nodded, motioning for him to continue.
"The way this insect pests harm people is simple and rude, sucking human blood, and then manipulating the corpse, in fact, the treatment method is also very simple, just forcibly take it out."
They looked at each other, if it was that simple, why did they bother so much?
"However," said Mr. Honghiro without waiting for them to ask, "as long as the red brocade worm invades the human body, it is embedded in the flesh and blood, and it is extremely difficult to take it out. β
Listening, everyone gasped, this method just sounded extremely dangerous and terrifying.
"Another method, which is the safest and safest, is to lure this insect out on its own, but this method is said to be only possible in Tongque Mountain."
No wonder Zhou Song told them to go to Tongque Mountain, if there was another way, she would definitely try, but it was not a way to die for a lifetime, she was unwilling to let Ye Xingchuan risk his life.
"There are not many people who survive this kind of insect in history, and they are basically cured in Tongque Mountain, forcibly taken out, and nine times out of ten they will lose their lives." Mr. Hongbo took a sip of wine, and his tone was very light, "But I think this son is in good health, maybe he can survive." β
"How long does it take to recover after taking it out?" Ye Xingchuan asked.
Mr. Honghiro shook his head: "It varies from person to person, from seven days to decades, it is possible. β
Before the others could speak, Ye Xingchuan nodded: "Okay, then use this method." β
"Brother Ye, this can't be messed around!" Xiao Bei reminded, "If you die because of this, it's not worth it!" β
Sheng Feiying also persuaded: "Yes, Miss Zhou tried her best to save you at that time, if you accidentally had an accident, the gains outweighed the losses." β
Ye Xingchuan's eyes were firm: "Then you can not die." β
The little insect didn't just care about eating, and helped Xiao Bei and Sheng Feiying: "It's light, if Brother Ye is gone, we ......"
Before she finished speaking, Ye Xingchuan patted her on the head: "I have my own measure." β
"But ......" Xiao Bei wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Ye Xingchuan: "Now we are in the blue wolf, when Zhou Song is rescued, maybe the worm will attack, if it can be cured now, wouldn't it be a foolproof plan?" β
Xiao Bei couldn't persuade him, and couldn't help sighing: "So I said earlier that I would go to Tongque Mountain first......
"Go to Tongque Mountain first, and then come to Shenji Pavilion, it will take three or four months just to travel, so it's better to go to Shenji Pavilion in advance."
The others had nothing to say, but they all felt that Ye Xingchuan thought of Zhou Song too vulnerable, even if it took a long time, Zhou Song should be able to deal with it. But the red brocade worm on Ye Xingchuan's body is terrifying, and he can't make a joke.
"I don't know what you're talking about, but if Childe makes up his mind, I'll be able to get it for you right away."
Seeing that they were talking about the same, Mr. Hongbo interjected.
"Okay," Ye Xingchuan nodded firmly, regardless of others' obstructions, "Take it as soon as possible." β
