Chapter 255: Warming up the pot of wine and finally doing some serious work!
"Huhuhu..."
The boy who had asked the scout for supper earlier was quick-witted and immediately took out a thin bamboo tube from his waist.
Pull out the plug and blow air into it. After a few breaths, a beam of fire will ignite!
At this time, the scout had already thrust out his daggers. He only felt the tip of the knife piercing through his clothes and into his flesh, but was stuck on his ribs!
"Ow!"
The guy who was desperately gnawing on the pawn felt pain and howled towards the sky!
Although the sound came from a human mouth, it was extremely strange, like a beast with a human voice, which made the hairs of the dozen or so soldiers present stand on end!
The scout leader tried his best to pull out his sword, but the dagger was stuck between the ribs of the creature and couldn't be pulled out!
Those ordinary soldiers didn't have the courage to step forward and would have already fled in all directions!
With the dim light of the tinder, the scout leader saw the object clearly from a close distance.
There were pieces of meat and pale fascia hanging from his mouth, his eyes were bloodshot and bulging, and his body was covered in blood and filth...
But from his facial features, we can identify him and find that he has a triangular scar next to his eye, and he is wearing the same cloth armor as them. He is none other than Hou Simao, the one who got lost after stealing the big goose from the Wen family!
The scout leader blurted out, "Fuck! Hou Simao, you're fucking possessed!"
Hou Simao didn't say anything at all, as if he didn't know the scout leader at all. He turned around and swung his claws, directly tearing off the scout leader's soft chest armor!
You should know that the scouts under Su Xin's command usually do not wear heavy armor, but their soft armor is also made of three layers of yellow cowhide lined with ramie cloth coated with tung oil and soaked in raw lacquer. This soft armor is extremely tough and can even withstand bows and arrows at a certain distance.
But Hou Simao just grabbed it and tore the scout leader's soft armor apart. This kind of strength was far beyond the reach of ordinary soldiers!
"Come on, what are you standing there for!"
The scout leader relied on his years of martial arts training and his third or fourth level cultivation to barely dodge Hou Simao's grab, and then shouted at the other scouts who were already frightened.
The scouts came to their senses at this time and swung their swords to attack Hou Simao!
"Oh!"
When the knife flashed, Hou Simao suddenly jumped up on all fours and dodged the blade like a ghost. Then he rushed forward and knocked the scouts away!
Except for the young scout standing at the end holding a fire starter, all the scouts fainted.
The young scout naturally felt bad too. He spat out a mouthful of blood, covered his chest with his hands, and his face turned pale!
The fire starter in his hand also fell to the ground. With a flash of fire, Hou Simao jumped from the ground to the air again, baring his teeth and rushing towards the unarmed scout leader!
The scout leader knew very well that Hou Simao must have been possessed by some evil spell and turned into something that was neither human nor ghost.
Moreover, his strength and speed far surpassed those of ordinary people. These scouts were no match for him at all!
"Fuck! Am I going to die here today?!"
The scout leader's heart sank again. He smiled bitterly and cursed inwardly, then closed his eyes and prepared to die...
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the scout leader suddenly opened his eyes. He originally thought that he was going to be killed by his comrades, but he found that Hou Simao was slapped by someone and flew more than ten feet away!
The scout leader turned sideways and looked in the dim light of the fire on the ground—
There was a thin middle-aged man in a brocade robe standing aside, with a gray-white cloak fluttering in the wind behind him.
There were three big words clearly written on it - Poison you to death!
……
The next morning, at the Wen family.
There were many new guests in the cages in the backyard, including seven or eight strong scouts, and Hou Simao, who was paralyzed on one side of his body after being beaten by a warm pot of wine.
They were all tied up with iron chains as thick as little fingers. To prevent any accidents, they were given "obedience pills" when they were brought back with a pot of warm wine.
(PS: Once this stuff is taken, within three hours, one will become stupid and foolish, and will only obey the person who administers it. It is a poison passed down from the ancestors of the Wen family. But here, at the request of Wen Hujiu, a warm reminder to all the friends in front of the screen - do not use this drug on others, do not do anything that goes against human ethics and morality, and absolutely do not embark on the path of crime!)
The scene cuts to the pharmacy in the back hall. There are three large coarse porcelain vats more than one person tall on the ground, and strange fragrance wafts from the vats.
When I looked closer, I saw that the large vat was full of thick ochre medicinal juice, and white mist was constantly rising from it, which showed that it had just been boiled.
Wen Yanzhao was lying on his back in a rocking chair next to the big vat, resting with his eyes closed.
He had not rested for a moment since he returned from visiting Gu Chen in the Bamboo Sea Secret Realm the previous afternoon.
He memorized all the herbs and dressings listed in the Book of Medicine Man in his mind, and then, based on the matching ratios for different stages, he directly exchanged the required herbs from the system with reputation points and re-prepared a medicine concoction that could be used by ten people.
But the key to the art of making medicine people - the Yin-Yang Life and Death Grass fed by human blood and the strange worm - are still missing.
This whole process lasted from the first hour of the day to sunrise.
Looking at the three full jars of medicinal juice in front of him, Wen Yanzhao held his chin and murmured:
"I don't know when my uncle will be able to get some people back to take blood samples for drug testing. These medicinal juices have cost me a lot of reputation points!"
At this moment, the door to the back hall was pushed open with a creaky sound.
A tall, baby-faced boy came in. He grinned and called out, "Brother Zhao, Uncle Jiu wants you to go to the backyard. He wants you to go now!"
Wen Yanzhao opened his eyes and found that it was Wen Lie. He rubbed his sore eyes and said:
"Alie, did my uncle just come back?"
Wen Lie: "Uncle Jiu came back at four o'clock in the morning, and brought back quite a few people with him, but they didn't seem to be guests..."
"Because Uncle Jiu asked me to find him a lot of chains, saying he wanted to tie these people up!"
When Wen Yanzhao heard this, he immediately stopped feeling sleepy:
"Ah? My uncle brought back the test subject? That's great, that's great..."
"Alie, I'll go right away!"
……
Yunzhou, Sanqi Shop.
"Ding ding ding..."
The iron chisel moved inch by inch on the stone tablet, and soon the word "wen" was chiseled out.
Sweat was oozing from Ye Dingzhi's head, but he still swung the hammer meticulously to wrestle with the four-foot-high stone tablet.
Ye Xiaofan, who was standing aside, was bored and said while chewing a piece of dogtail grass:
"Alas...why did you become like this after returning from Tianqi City? This is not the Ye Dingzhi I knew before!"
Ye Dingzhi's eyes were still fixed on the stone tablet, debris and sparks flying everywhere:
"The former Ye Dingzhi?"
Ye Xiaofan sat up, spat out the dogtail grass, and stared at me with his big, distinct black and white eyes in a serious manner:
"Yes! Ye Dingzhi in the past was not like you!"
"He's a very free-spirited man, unlike you who are now worried and worried about your sister and acting like a crybaby!"
Hearing Ye Xiaofan's words, Ye Dingzhi smiled bitterly:
"Little brat, what do you know..."
"When you reach my age and meet the one you love, you will know how despairing it is to lose the one you love!"
Ye Xiaofan rolled his eyes at Ye Dingzhi and said disdainfully:
"Stop it!"
"If you ask me, it's not as good as practicing swordsmanship. One person, one sword, traversing the world with swords, free from worries!"
"That's what a real man does. How can you fall in love at the age of twenty and be unable to get out? Oh... what a pity!"
Ye Dingzhi put down the iron chisel and looked at the innocent Ye Xiaofan with interest:
"You're so young, and you want to travel around the world? What about your father, mother, and sister?"
"Didn't you promise me that you would protect them from bullies when you grow up?"
Ye Xiaofan was startled and opened his mouth, but he quickly reacted and smiled slyly:
"Isn't this easy? If you marry my sister, everything will be fine!"
