Chapter 105: A Ray of Life
Perhaps because night fell, the bright moonlight washed away the hustle and bustle of the day, and the courtyard was so quiet that there was hardly any sound.
When Ou Yangming followed Ni Yinghong out of the door, he felt his legs and feet were weak and he couldn't move. When his ears twitched slightly, he could already hear the faint sound of breathing in the room.
Looking through the gap in the window, he saw a familiar yet unfamiliar face.
The old craftsman was really old, he was lying on the bed, although he hadn't seen him for more than ten days, his cheeks had already lost weight surprisingly. With his eyes closed, his nose slowly rose and fell, like an aging machine that had been working for many years, dying.
Ouyang Ming squatted down slowly, covering his heart with one hand.
There, it was very painful, it was a strong feeling that was suppressed, as if it would explode at any time.
He really wanted to push away everything, so he rushed in and cried loudly beside the old craftsman's bed. Perhaps, the only way to relieve the pain in my heart is to do so.
However, he didn't have any impulse, although his teeth had already bit his lips hard, and two deep bloodstains were drawn from his bite.
Standing up slowly, he stood on tiptoe and quietly backed away. Just as he didn't make a sound when he came, there was also no sound when he left.
Soon, he walked out of the yard and saw Ni Yinghong in the night.
Under the hazy moonlight in the sky, Ni Yinghong seemed to have turned into a mysterious elf, exuding a kind of desolate nobility that no one dared to desecrate. The ray of moonlight draped over her body like a veil, adding to the splendor.
However, Ou Yangming didn't seem to notice it. He walked up to Ni Yinghong and said in a low voice, "Why did the old man become like this?"
Ni Yinghong sighed softly, and said: "I have inquired about the deeds of the old craftsman, let me ask you a question, do you know why the old craftsman has adopted you for two years, why did he exchange all his meritorious service this year, and ask for a chance for you to acquire arms?" Woolen cloth?"
Ouyang Ming's heart trembled. He had already guessed the answer, but his lips moved slightly, and he couldn't say it.
Ni Yinghong gave him a considerate look, and said for him: "You guessed right, because the old craftsman knows that he is old and his end is approaching, so while he still has the ability, he wants to help you. Find a way of survival and an advanced body." She paused, and said: "It's just that even he didn't expect that you turned out to be a koi that can turn into a dragon when encountering a storm.
"
Ouyang Ming's heart was agitated, but he murmured: "If the old man can be intact, this dragon will not melt!"
Ni Yinghong's expression moved slightly. Although she is not very old, she has seen countless changes in the world.
How many evil people, in order to get ahead, will sacrifice the interests of all relatives and friends. However, the things they pursued and the pinnacle of life they reached were vastly different from what Ou Yangming is today.
However, Ouyang Ming's words came from the bottom of his heart. Ni Yinghong believed that if Ouyang Ming was really asked to exchange all the achievements he had made so far for the old craftsman's life, he would never frown.
Although the old craftsman didn't have any great achievements in his life, he was just the chief munitions blacksmith in this small military camp. However, he has a good son, or a good grandson.
Perhaps in the spirit of the sky, he will also be gratified?
However, looking at Ouyang Ming's gloomy face at the moment, Ni Yinghong naturally wouldn't talk nonsense to touch his back.
Ouyang Ming took a deep breath and said, "Why didn't you let me in just now?"
When Ni Yinghong brought Ouyang Ming over, he didn't exhort too much, but just said a word.
If he didn't want the old craftsman to die immediately, he could only take a look outside the window instead of entering. If Ni Yinghong used other reasons to dissuade him, Ouyang Ming would never pay any attention. However, as soon as this reason came out, Ouyang Ming was like a monkey under a magic spell, never daring to overstep the barrier.
Ni Yinghong sighed softly, and said: "The situation of the old craftsman is very complicated. He is actually old and weak, and his life has come to an end. It's just that his body was strong and he was barely standing upright. But this time, when he heard that you were attacked outside the camp, And when the one who made the attack was a strong man of Yang rank, he was filled with shock and anger, and his heart and blood collapsed, so he couldn't lie down."
Ouyang Ming clenched his fists tightly, and his bones cracked.
Although the two brothers Zhang Yinli were dead, they harmed the old craftsman in a disguised form, making Ouyang Ming hate them to the bone.
"It's them, it really is them!" Ouyang Ming said bitterly: "If the old man has any misfortune, I will never let them go!"
Ni Yinghong said slowly: "Brother Zhang Yinli is dead."
Ou Yangming's eyes were gloomy, as if they were grieving ghosts from hell: "They are dead, but the people who gave birth to them, supported them, promoted them, and taught them martial arts are still alive. Bar?"
Ni Yinghong's body shuddered inexplicably. In this world, getting involved is actually not a rare thing. It's just that, generally speaking, it's the actions of the strong targeting the weak who are implicated.
But now, although Ouyang Ming has a good cultivation base and a bright future, if compared with the Zhang family in the capital, he is undoubtedly an inconspicuous little establishment.
With his strength, if he wanted to overthrow the Zhang family, it would be impossible for a mayfly to shake a tree and a mantis to block a car. However, for some reason, Ni Yinghong just had a feeling that it was the Zhang family in the capital that caused big trouble.
With a light cough, Ni Yinghong said, "Brother Ou, the Zhang family in the capital is not Yi Yi's generation, and even the Fang family has died down."
Ouyang Ming laughed dumbly, and said, "Don't worry, I won't act recklessly. It's just that I've spent the rest of my life with the Zhang family."
Ni Yinghong suddenly felt that his head was as big as a bucket. If any family had a figure like Ou Yangming lurking in the dark and staring at it, I'm afraid it would be hard.
Ouyang Ming paused, and said, "You haven't told me, why don't you let me in."
Ni Yinghong immediately calmed down, and said: "Old... After the master fell ill, I immediately notified the family and invited the medical elders to come, and brought the elixir to feed him, and hang himself with the effect of the elixir."
At this time, she quietly changed the first three characters of "Old Craftsman" to "Old Man". If it was normal, Ou Yangming would definitely raise eyebrows. Because looking at the entire barracks, these three words are his patent. Apart from him, even if Deng Zhicai, the general of the Central Battalion, called out, he would be deliberately corrected by the old craftsman.
Of course, if the old craftsman wasn't the chief arms blacksmith in the barracks, he wouldn't have been able to enjoy such special treatment, but instead he was dragged out and cut off.
However, now that Ni Yinghong changed his words, Ou Yangming didn't dare to refute even half a word.
Seeing that Ouyang Ming chose to acquiesce, Ni Yinghong was secretly happy, but on the surface he still had a sad face on his face, saying: "The old man's time is approaching, even if it is a panacea, it can only hang his life. Moreover, this is not enough. He needs to cooperate psychologically."
Ouyang Ming raised his eyebrows and said, "What cooperation?"
Ni Yinghong said slowly: "We must let the old man have the desire to live. As long as he has the heart, the elixir can exert its greatest effect. At least it can hold back the fire of his life in a short period of time."
Ou Yangming took a deep look at her and said, "This panacea is very precious, isn't it?"
Ni Yinghong nodded, and said: "It is impossible for Fanpin to be able to make people with exhausted vitality hold their breath for a long time."
Ouyang Ming took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Thank you." Apart from these two words, he didn't have anything else to say. Because he knows that this kindness can no longer be repaid by simple thanks.
Ni Yinghong shook his head and said: "The old man is most concerned about your affairs now. He can't let you go in his heart, and he can keep this life with a sigh of relief. But, seeing you suddenly, do you think What are the consequences?"
Ouyang Ming's body trembled slightly, and he felt deep fear from the bottom of his heart.
He closed his eyes, pondered for a long time, then suddenly opened his eyes, stared at Ni Yinghong without blinking, and said, "Brother Ni, I want to ask one thing."
"you say."
"In this world, since there are pills that can hang people's lives, is there a pill that can prolong life?"
Ni Yinghong secretly praised in his heart, Ouyang Ming is indeed not an ordinary person, once he calmed down, he immediately found the crux of the problem.
She nodded slowly, and said: "Yes, but..." She hesitated and said: "It is no longer extremely difficult to obtain the life-prolonging medicine, but extremely dangerous."
There was a flash of light in Ouyang Ming's eyes, and he immediately became radiant.
Ever since he knew about the old craftsman's death, his eyes had become terribly gloomy. But at this very moment, it was as if he had changed into a different person, and his whole face became radiant.
"Brother Nee, what should I do to obtain the elixir?"
Ni Yinghong looked at Ouyang Ming who was completely different from Shicai, and he didn't know what emotion he felt. But she sighed softly and said, "Brother Ou, as I said, it is extremely difficult and dangerous."
Ouyang Ming couldn't help laughing, and there was a lot of disdain in that smile.
"Difficulty and danger? It's just that what I like most is challenges. The more difficult and dangerous, the happier I am." He said proudly, "Don't worry, I will definitely be able to do it."
Looking at Ouyang Ming who was so energetic, Ni Yinghong's heart twitched slightly, as if someone had gently plucked at her heartstrings. However, she restrained herself, still shook her head, and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Ou, you are so young, you shouldn't take risks, I can't..."
"Plop..."
Ni Yinghong's eyes widened, and he looked at Ouyang Ming who was kneeling at his feet in disbelief, with a look of horror on his face.
"You, how can you do this?"
Ou Yangming smiled wryly in his heart, if someone else was so secretive, he promised to launch a surprise attack immediately, even if he used the most vicious torture in the world, he would force him to ask him out.
However, Ni Yinghong helped him all the way, he was not a wolf-hearted person after all.
Since it's not enough to be rough, let's sacrifice face and beg.
As for being shameless, as long as the old craftsman can be restored to his original state and live a few more years, what can he not let go of?
