"Old man..."
At this time, Afeng, who had gone out to make tea, also returned to the house, and saw the wound on Old Cao's body, and immediately showed a look of regret.
"Then it's all my fault for being nosy, otherwise you wouldn't..."
Before Afeng could finish his words, Old Man Cao turned around and glared at him before speaking softly.
"That's what happened. Thanks to this little bastard, I can't even walk two steps now."
Although his tone was full of complaints, Pei Wende could still hear a bit of doting in Old Man Cao's words.
Just like Zen Master Lingyou who had to wipe his own ass every time he saw himself getting into trouble, the old man in front of him was also a "strict father" who was duplicitous, hard-spoken and soft-hearted.
"Is there a monster disguised as a human being for a sneak attack?"
Having seen similar incidents more than once, Zou Qiwu immediately understood the origin of the incident and couldn't help but show an expression of admiration on his face.
It can survive monster attacks and even kill them.
This seemingly frail old man Cao was probably a brave man who could "enemies a hundred enemies" when he was young.
"Little old man, I haven't reached the age where my eyesight will dim yet!"
"That's not a monster disguised as a human, but a monster alienated from humans."
He glared at Zou Qiwu rather displeasedly. Old Man Cao didn't like people misinterpreting or misunderstanding his meaning, even if it was just a slight verbal misunderstanding.
"Well……"
He didn't expect that Old Cao would have such an upright temper. Zou Qiwu smiled awkwardly.
After traveling around the world for so many years, Zou Qiwu had never seen any big storms, so he didn't care at all about Old Man Cao's performance.
Because he knew that for a person like Old Man Cao, using Pei Hong's relationship to enter the inn might have violated some of his taboos.
Especially at this extremely sensitive time, Old Man Cao could not vent his anger on his boss, so he could only vent his anger on himself.
Thinking of this, Zou Qiwu glanced at Pei Wende unconsciously.
He also entered the inn through connections, but this old man had a completely opposite attitude towards Pei Wende.
It can be seen that the relationship between the two is definitely not just a simple "understanding".
"This is indeed an injury caused by humans, or injuries caused by beings who were once 'humans'..."
"Although this kind of injury is troublesome, it is not difficult to treat."
He frowned with some hesitation. Pei Wende was actually not sure whether his judgment was correct, but he knew that he was the most professional among everyone present.
If it were the previous Pei Wende, he would definitely not give such a definite answer.
Because after giving someone hope, then breaking the other person's hope is actually a very cruel thing.
Pei Wende doesn't like to play the role of a savior, let alone bear the look of disappointment or even despair.
But after experiencing so many things, Pei Wende has already learned to grow up and take responsibility.
It is better to give others confidence when necessary, even if it is just a false confidence, than to let the other person give up on themselves and sink completely.
"real?"
Before Old Man Cao could react, Afeng stared at Pei Wende in surprise, with no concealment of his joy in his eyes.
As for the person involved, Old Man Cao?
Although he didn't show any obvious expression, Pei Wende could still see that the other party was unconsciously relieved.
The calmness that was just pretending at first was completely relieved at that moment.
"..."
Quietly, his head emerged from Pei Wende's collar. Xiaoqing, who also noticed this scene, rolled his eyes calmly.
Xiao Qing believed that Pei Wende had superb medical skills.
After all, no one can prepare a decoction that can heal the heart pulse after studying medicine for a year.
The practitioner’s understanding, perseverance in learning, and the generous teachings from Dr. Lu...
Even if Pei Wende's current medical skills cannot reach the realm of the living dead and flesh and bones, they are not comparable to those of ordinary doctors.
Not to mention, although Pei Wende has never explicitly said that he has the magical power of "enlightenment in dreams".
But his ability to "get good at it once he learns it" has long been exposed to Xiao Qing's eyes, and he naturally knows that the other party is likely to have some secret technique to assist "cultivation".
With the blessing of various innate advantages, Pei Wende's current medical skills, like his blacksmithing skills, have truly entered the realm of a master.
But it is precisely because of this that Xiaoqing is very dissatisfied with Pei Wende's current actions.
Unlike himself, Pei Wende obviously belongs to the type who feels that the greater his ability, the more responsibilities he needs to bear.
This means that the more things Bui is good at, the more likely he is to get into trouble.
Just like now, Pei Wende is obviously just an insignificant ordinary mortal, but he is willing to take the risk of offending some unknown monster to treat the other party's injury.
Although Xiaoqing accepted the "bond" between herself and Pei Wende, she still didn't want this restless guy to get into any more trouble.
It's a pity that Pei Wende obviously doesn't care about Xiaoqing's thoughts at this moment, and he doesn't even notice the subtle mentality of the other party.
"of course it's true!"
Nodding affirmatively, Pei Wende, who was no longer the same as before, promised.
"Judging from the old man's current physical condition, as long as the evil poison in this wound can be eliminated, there is no problem in living for another one or twenty years."
As soon as these words came out, Afeng, who was still a little uncomfortable with these "outsiders", immediately made a 180-degree change in his attitude.
As long as the old man's injuries can be cured, let alone some outsiders.
Even if he is a refugee outside, Afeng is willing to treat him as a guest and give him anything he wants.
"Little Master, if you have any requests, just ask!"
"As long as you can cure the old man's injury, my life will be yours from now on!"
So under Pei Wende's dumbfounded gaze, Afeng patted his chest and assured him.
"It's not like I have any requirements..."
Looking at Old Man Cao's wound again, Pei Wende asked thoughtfully.
"But is there any cleaner place in the inn?"
"I need a quiet place to help the old man treat his wounds, preferably without anyone disturbing him."
After hearing what Pei Wende said, Afeng immediately stood up and walked out of the house, asking for his opinions as he walked.
"Yes, of course!"
"A guest room was vacated in the backyard just a few days ago. It faces the sun, avoids the shade, and has fresh air. Is it suitable?"
That was the room Afeng had specially cleaned up some time ago in order to welcome the post officer who delivered the "Buddha-Destroying Order", and it happened to be in use now.
"Okay, as long as it doesn't make too much noise."
