Chapter 21 Bonus
At this time, it had been more than two hours since Fang Lin left the village. The villager who left Fang Lin and fled first naturally did not dare to go back and went directly to find a dry place to hide from the rain. Therefore, as time went by , Lao Hu was certainly anxious while waiting, pacing back and forth like an ant on a hot pot. Even Green, who had always been quite indifferent, couldn't help but look worried-------
Lao Hu has been in this nightmare space for a long time, but he has to admit that Fang Lin, a little guy who is not very strong in personal abilities, actually has an immeasurable positive effect on his teammates. Not to mention his detailed grasp of clues, his excellent judgment of the overall situation, and his keen awareness of the enemy's weaknesses, just looking at Fang Lin's use and display of his own skills is already remarkable. Using the most appropriate skills at the most appropriate time is simple to say, but the difficulty of doing it is imaginable... A mental shock at the most difficult time is the most important thing when it is needed most. When he came to help, the elite fat man made a timely collision, and when his physical strength reached the critical point of danger, he handed over a piece of life-saving food through the nightmare mark.
When dependence has become a habit, only when you face or may lose it permanently can you feel the value and preciousness of its existence.
Green's mind flashed, and he made up his mind. He stood up and said coldly:
"I'll go up the mountain and have a look."
Hu Huahao undoubtedly agreed with this decision. He raised his trousers and asked:
"But that kid's mission cannot be helped by others."
Green said coldly:
"It's better to fail a mission than to lose everyone's lives here. Without him, our future missions will be more miserable."
Lao Hu nodded in approval.
But just when the two were about to go out, Fang Lindi's cheerful voice came from outside:
"Hey, can you have some confidence in me? A rotten snake can still stump me."
Old Hu laughed and said:
"I knew you were fine, that's what I said. When the hell have I ever seen you suffer a loss?"
Fang Lin leisurely tossed the unlucky strange snake in his hand and walked into the yard. At this time, he was rolled into a mess and dripping with mud and water, but his expression seemed to be indescribably calm and carefree. Green frowned slightly when he saw it, and hurriedly asked the servant next to him to fetch water to rinse him. Fang Lin threw the strange snake's body on the table in the main room and asked the owner Ding Yi:
"This strange snake should be the one causing harm to our village."
The owner of the village, Ding Yi, was surprised and happy. He looked up and down at this strange snake, which although dead, still looked fierce. I already believed it in my heart, but I still said cautiously:
"To be honest, I have never seen it personally. However, thanks to your master's magical skills, Ma Xin, the only one who has seen this evil thing, is now able to get out of bed. You might as well ask him to identify it with his own eyes."
Fang Linqi said:
"Who is Ma Xin? Could it be those two fools?"
The owner of the village smiled bitterly and said:
"Actually, Ma Xin was originally from a famous family, but he unfortunately injured his head during the war and acted a little upside down from time to time. These naughty villagers don't know why. They call him a fool."
Fang Lin snorted, nodded and said:
"It turns out that his life experience is so rough, he is a pitiful person. By the way, call him here quickly. If I find out that the snake is not harmful to your place, I will have to make another trip."
After saying that, Fang Lin took the two buckets of water given by the strong man and went to the back to wash off the dirt on his body. After he finished washing and put on clean clothes, Ma Xin thought it was because he was recovering from his illness. It took a long time to come out, but there was an old lady next to her who was trembling slightly and leaning on a cane. She timidly blended into the crowd of people who came to watch, but she didn't dare to speak loudly. She could only quietly pull the housekeeper and whisper anxiously. A few words.
The old housekeeper looked troubled after hearing this, and finally couldn't bear the old woman's plea. He walked over with a smile on his face and whispered:
"I dare to ask this gentleman, where is the boy Ahua who accompanied you up the mountain? His family is really anxious."
Fang Lin was slightly startled when he heard this, and immediately remembered what happened when he heard the hissing of the strange snake. The young man threw away the torch and ran away in a hurry. Just as he was about to answer truthfully, he suddenly saw the old woman standing next to her with tears in her eyes and a slightly trembling pitiful look. He suddenly felt the long-lost family warmth again, so Fang Lin thought to himself Turning around, he immediately put back all the words that came to his lips and said with a smile:
"Ah Hua! This young man is very neat. After helping me kill the snake, he saw another hare on the road and rushed to catch it. He said that he wanted to catch it to show filial piety to his family, so he asked me to come back first. I think he will come back in a while. ”
Fang Lin's words were actually quite flawed, but others would not have thought that he would lie. Secondly, they were all amazed by the monster snake on the table that looked extremely ferocious even after death, so they naturally believed it to be true. The old woman was so happy He couldn't help but smile from ear to ear. Only Green frowned slightly and glanced at Fang Lin. But he didn't speak.
Not long after, Ma Xin, who had a cloth band wrapped around his arm, rushed over weakly with the support of two people. After just one look from a distance, his expression was already mixed with excitement and anger, and he didn't know where it came from. With enough strength, he broke free from the arms of others and rushed forward. After a closer look, he was already crying:
"That's it! That's the beast! What a pity for the two lives of Er Gouzi and Dashi Di!"
Like Huang Zhong, Fang Lin and the others thought it was normal for outsiders, but the villagers and the owner of the village were extremely surprised. You must know that Ma Xin had suffered a head injury before and acted like a five or six-year-old boy, extremely ignorant. , that’s why he got the nickname of “Second Fool”, but now he is so articulate and logical, so there’s no trace of his stupidity at all? The villagers couldn't help but talk one after another, saying that this foreigner could not only cure the extremely violent snake venom, but also cured the idiot's dementia. He was really a clever man, and Hua Tuo was still alive.
Ding Yi, the owner of the village, brushed his beard and said with a smile:
"This village's most serious nuisance has finally been eliminated by sir."
After he finished speaking, he walked into the inner room with a smile, took out a sharp knife, and cut the belly of the cockscomb monster snake. Strangely enough, the extremely tough skin of this monster snake was actually cut on the belly of the monster snake with this knife. The lower part was easily cut open!
The old butler quickly placed four wine bowls on the table. The owner of the village, Ding Yi, went inside and took out a very old small jar. He patted off the mud seal on it and filled the four wine bowls very carefully. After the wine was poured out, it was light green in color and fragrant. It was tangy to the nose, making people a little tipsy after smelling it. Then they saw the owner of the village Ding Yi carefully taking out the snake gallbladder, and dripping it with the blood into the first bowl of wine. He held it up with both hands and presented it to Fang Lin. Huang Zhong, the old man, Hu and Green brought the other three bowls of wine and said with a smile:
"It is rumored that this wine was made from the leftover koji from Dukang's wine-making process. There are only two jars left in the world. I got half a jar by chance more than ten years ago. My husband helped me solve this big problem. I have no idea. I can only treat you with this wine. It is disrespectful to show my kindness!"
Lao Hu always acted carelessly, and he cursed in his heart that this guy was really stingy. He only invited half a bowl of wine for the guests. Before the owner finished speaking, he picked up the wine and drank it all in one gulp. What a taste. Naturally, he didn't taste it at all, but the reminder from the nightmare mark made his eyes widen:
"You drank the Dukangu wine."
"Your strength value permanently increases by 1, and your physical strength value permanently increases by 1."
The dumbfounded Old Hu's first move was to look into the old small jar holding wine. Unfortunately, the owner of Ding Yi Village was really sincere in his hospitality. The small jar was already empty, except for Old Hu. His expression seemed like he wanted to pour some cold water into the jar and then drink it.
Green's complexion changed slightly after drinking the wine, and it was obvious that his basic attributes had also been permanently increased.
Fang Lin took it together with the snake gallbladder, and the reminder given by the nightmare mark was:
"You took the spirit snake gallbladder soaked in Dukang ancient wine."
"All your attributes increase by 3 points."
Then the owner of Ding Yi Manor moved his knife like flying, and in an instant peeled off the skin of the cock-crested evil snake and said with a smile:
"This sinister snake skin is extremely tough and can be made into two pairs of wrist guards. If you guys are in a hurry to leave tomorrow, I will ask my wife to help drive them out tonight."
Lao Hurao came to Fang Lin's side and whispered:
"You've got a really good mission, kid. You even get food and drinks."
Fang Lin ignored him and thanked the village owner profusely. Ding Yi laughed, very happy. Fang Lin found an opportunity and said:
"I think the knife in the owner's hand is absolutely extraordinary. I wonder if you can lend it to me for a look?"
Ding Yi's expression suddenly became troubled, but Hu Huahao's expression turned gloomy, feeling that this man didn't know how to praise him. Fang Lin's self-cultivation is much better--or in other words, his disguise skills are much better--his smile remains the same.
