Chapter 172: Resistance
Zhuang Yun quickly carried the young man out of the lounge and placed him on the sofa outside. The young man's face looked much better now.
"I just administered medicine to him, along with potions and tonics to restore his qi and blood. What should I do now?"
The boy was still in a coma, and he didn't know if he could go to the hotel to register for him.
Shen Jufeng was very interested in the skills the boy had acquired and was also curious about his origin. "Let's see when he wakes up first. If he doesn't wake up, let him stay at my place."
Lu Jiu is a girl, so it's inconvenient to take him. Zhuang Yun also had to take his daughter with him. He was afraid that bringing a stranger back would frighten the child.
The best thing to do is to go to him.
It depends on when the boy wakes up.
The pharmacy will not close just to treat one person. After a while, a person who was familiar with Lu Jiu and the others entered the store. It was Dou Fanrong from the Linzuo team.
When the other party saw the three of them there, with someone lying on the sofa, even if he was not familiar with them, he couldn't help but take a look.
Unexpectedly, there was a pretty handsome boy lying there. Dou Fanrong approached the boy with interest and sat on the edge of the sofa, close to his sleeping face.
Lu Jiu, who was sitting next to the young man, placed a hand on his shoulder, preventing him from getting any closer. "This man is sick. If you want to purchase medicine, go ahead and buy it. Don't disturb the patient."
Dou Fanrong chuckled as he looked at the young man's face. After lingering for a while, he raised his eyebrows and asked Lu Jiu, "Is he your brother?"
He didn't look like her.
Lu Jiu replied expressionlessly, "It has nothing to do with you."
What the hell is this guy doing? Is it possible that he also knows this boy?
Dou Fanrong then stood up and said, "It's not like my brother is so concerned..."
Lu Jiu gritted her teeth and endured it.
On the side, Shen Jufeng glanced at Dou Fanrong, his eyes sharp, before he left abruptly as if he had suddenly remembered his purpose for being there.
This episode passed quickly, but Dou Fanrong still glanced back at the boy before leaving.
The boy appeared to be in a poor condition before, and he didn't wake up until near dusk.
He slowly opened his eyes, feeling that his entire body was no longer as cold as before. He also noticed a bright light with a gentle glow.
He didn't know what he had been thinking, but he suddenly stood up and realized that he was in an unfamiliar location. Three individuals, two men and one woman, were staring at him.
Then the girl said, "You finally woke up. You've been unconscious for several hours."
If he doesn't wake up, he will be sent to Shen Jufeng's house.
As a result, when the young man heard her words, he immediately shrank into the corner of the sofa. Lu Jiu observed his actions and couldn't comprehend what he had gone through, which left him terrified.
Lu Jiu immediately raised her hands and said, "Calm down, we saved you."
The young man tried to recall what had happened before. It seemed that before he fell into a coma, he saw three people approaching him. He wanted to ask for help but realized that he was too seriously ill to make any sound.
He stumbled and said, "Thank you... thank you."
Seeing that the person was awake, Zhuang Yun asked him out of curiosity, "Why are you staying alone in the wild when the blizzard stopped? Are you coming from a nearby city-state?"
They were still in the wild in the morning. Bronze-level wild monsters were killed, and they would not appear alone. It was too dangerous for the child to be alone in the woods before.
And it was so miserable.
But the boy simply lowered his head and remained silent.
They suspect he was stimulated by something before.
Lu Jiu no longer struggled with this. "This is Xuantian City. How do you feel now? If you are able to walk, you can go to the dormitory to register. Otherwise, you will have nowhere to stay at night."
The young man reacted, and his pale lips trembled. After a few moments, he said in a muffled voice, "Thank you, I will register. How much money you spent to save me, I will pay you back first."
Lu Jiu told the price truthfully. This young man will likely have to reside here temporarily, and he will always be aware of the prices at the pharmacy.
The young man was very wealthy. He carefully handed over the money. Lu Jiu was careful not to touch him, in case he got scared again.
"I... My name is Yong Lin. You saved me, and I will repay you in the future."
Shen Jufeng glanced at Yong Lin during his spare time and calmly said, "Just focus on taking care of yourself. We're here to help."
Seeing that this man was not in a good mental state, he did not want to ask him where he came from and why he was alone.
Yong Lin nodded silently after hearing his words.
Lu Jiu and the other three people also stood up and left. Zhuang Yun handed him the medicine, "This ointment is for external application. You need to apply this to the frostbitten area. This small medicine bottle contains tonic. You can use them every day. Just take one pill."
Yong Lin took the medicine and thanked him once more.
After Lu Jiu left the store, she sighed secretly. She originally thought they had a good start today, but she didn't expect that they only had a good start and nothing else.
"I didn't expect that someone like me, who looked so gentle, could scare this little boy when I talked to him."
At that moment, Lu Jiu almost thought about how malicious she appeared.
Shen Jufeng frowned slightly, "It's probably because he was stimulated, and he was temporarily afraid of strangers."
This kind of behavior usually gradually adjusts itself over time. It is unknown whether the direction of adjustment is good or bad.
Lu Jiu shook her head, "I just did a good deed that day, but it's a pity that I didn't eat the spicy lamb chops for lunch."
When they waited for the boy to wake up, they simply ate a few rice balls, and then took out their share of snake gallbladder to the store manager.
Seeing the snake gallbladder from a wild monster at the bronze level, the store manager smiled happily at Lu Jiu.
Zhuang Yun said, "It's okay. I've gained a lot today. I'm going to the blacksmith's shop. What about you?"
She didn't have anything else to do, so Lu Jiu wanted to go. "Go, just to see what good equipment can be made. I feel like I now need a silver-grade weapon."
Shen Jufeng put his hands in his coat pockets, "It's a shame that you treasure Poyun Bow so much today, and you will have a new love so soon."
Lu Jiu: "That's different, even if you have one I won't lose my new weapons."
Those are all "partners" who have accompanied me in battles.
The three of them chatted in a relaxed tone, and the young man walked out behind them. Yong Lin looked at the backs of the three of them, with envy in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
The forge shop manager was in a good mood when he saw the materials they brought as rewards for killing bronze-level wild monsters.
The huge snake bone is placed indoors. Now that I see it in front of my eyes, I realize how beautiful it is. The light shines on the milky-white skeleton, reflecting a warm glow.
"Good thing, this snakeskin can be made into soft armor. Although the teeth are a bit short, they can be made into a dagger."
Zhuang Yun examined the sturdy backbone of the snake bones, "I'd better customize a sword, a soft armor, and a dagger, and I can sell the remaining materials here."
The store manager nodded and took out a few cards to show him, all of which displayed designs for weapons.
Shen Jufeng had a custom-made long sword, and the rest was the same as Zhuang Yun. Lu Jiu had a bow. Although she didn't have much use for the dagger, there was no harm in collecting one.
Shen Jufeng and Zhuang Yun both made money
from selling materials, while Lu Jiu contributed materials for free. But thinking about getting a new bow made her feel better.
