Chapter 2: Young but only Eight Years to Live

After Ding Yi's silent recitation strengthened, he clearly noticed that the wooden board under him emitted a white light, and at the same time, he also received a new prompt.

[Enhancement successful, remaining life span: 8 years and 32 days]

"What the hell! I'm just in my early twenties, why do I only have eight years to live!!"

Ding Yi was so shocked by this message that he almost jumped out of bed, and the joy of just getting the cheat was mostly diluted.

"Something's wrong, something's wrong. Even if I was seriously injured, my life wouldn't be so short, so..."

Ding Yi got up and sat on the bed, thinking rapidly in his mind, and suddenly remembered the dried meat and muddy water that the old couple had fed him these days.

"The problem won't be with these foods, right?"

Ding Yi was shocked by his thoughts, but quickly forced himself to calm down.

"It's no use thinking about this now, let's take a look at the board first."

Ding Yi took a deep breath, and then looked at the self-reinforced wooden board.

I saw that the wooden board, which was originally full of pits and cracks, was now extremely brand new. It was even painted with a fine layer of red oil, making it look out of place on this tattered wooden bed.

[Brand new redwood board]

[A good piece of redwood board. The red oil on the surface can repel mosquitoes and insects. It is definitely a top-quality product! 】

"It really worked! Besides the appearance change, it was also painted with antiseptic red oil!"

Ding Yi was shocked in his heart, sighing that this enhancement was outrageous and a bit unbelievable. This was not just as simple as repairing the board, but also reconstructing his internal structure.

"If so..."

Thinking of this, Ding Yi quickly looked at his body and limbs, but after a few minutes, he found that there was still no information like yesterday, and he felt a little regretful.

"I wanted to rely on strengthening to repair my body, but it seems that I can't strengthen myself."

Ding Yi thought of this, sighed, and then took off the eye-catching red oil board and hid it between the wooden bed and the wall.

After hiding the wooden board, Ding Yi lay on the wooden bed again and began to think about what to do next.

"Currently, it seems that this enhancement can strengthen things that can be strengthened without rules."

"Those two old Bidens definitely have bad intentions towards me. I need to find a way to deal with them as soon as possible."

"In addition, lifespan is also a very important issue. Based on my current lifespan, I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand several enhancements. I always feel that since this lifespan can be consumed, it can be increased."

"Finally, find out the secret of this place where you can't go out at night."

Ding Yi lay on the bed, quickly going through his current situation in his mind, and at the same time formulated several steps for himself.

At any time, logical thinking is always effective. This is the original words of Ding Yi, a mathematics teacher at that time.

Soon, the first ray of sunlight squeezed into the house along the cracks in the dilapidated wall, and Ding Yi understood that the two old Biden were about to appear.

Sure enough, within a few breaths, the footsteps of "Shasha" sounded outside the wooden door, followed by a slow knock on the door.

"Brother Ding, get up and eat."

A hoarse voice sounded outside the wooden door, adding a hint of darkness to the originally sunny cabin.

Ding Yi replied without hesitation:

"Coming!"

Not long after, Ding Yi and the old couple sat at the dilapidated wooden table and started today's breakfast.

"Brother Ding, your injury is not healed. Eat more."

Old man Wei pushed the rice cereal served in an old wooden bowl on the table and motioned for Ding Yi to eat it quickly.

But after what happened last night, Ding Yi guessed that there might be something wrong with the food that Old Man Wei gave him every day. His eyelids twitched involuntarily, and then he said slowly:

"Old Master Wei, I've been eating your food these past few days without getting anything in return. It's outrageous. You can eat it."

After saying that, Ding Yi pushed the wooden bowl back to Old Man Wei.

At this time, Old Wei, who was originally smiling, looked stunned, as if he was a little surprised, but he soon came to his senses again and said with a smile:

"Brother Ding, we old couple don't have much appetite, let's eat, let's eat."

As he said that, Old Man Wei stared at Ding Yi with his eyes. When Ding Yi saw this, he was already convinced, but he did not continue to refuse. Instead, he took the bowl and began to eat slowly.

Seeing Ding Yi start eating, the smile on Old Wei's face suddenly became even wider, making the dry wrinkles on his face even more abrupt.

But the next moment, I heard Ding Yi ask:

"Old man, I heard screams outside last night. I wonder what happened?"

Hearing this, Old Man Wei and the old lady next to him couldn't help but look at each other, and then the old lady said expressionlessly:

"Brother Ding didn't sleep last night?"

"I fell asleep. I just woke up in the middle of the night."

Ding Yi said.

"Haha, Brother Ding may be hallucinating."

Old Man Wei shook his head and said.

"That's quite possible."

Ding Yi said, shook his arm and said:

"By the way, thank you both for taking care of me these days. My injury is almost healed and I'm going to leave in a few days."

Hearing this, the calm old lady suddenly stood up, her face became even more ferocious, she grabbed Ding Yi's arm with both hands, and roared:

"You want to leave!? Where are you going?! Where do you want to go?!"

Ding Yi was startled by the sudden change. He instinctively wanted to break free, but found that his arms were like being clamped by iron pliers, unable to move. He couldn't help but be shocked.

"It seems that my inference is correct. Although these two immortals are older, they are amazingly strong. I noticed it when they carried me back."

"Fortunately, I didn't take action rashly, otherwise I might not be their match."

While feeling a little happy in his heart, Ding Yi hurriedly said:

"I haven't thought about it yet."

When Old Man Wei saw this, he quickly stood up and grabbed the old woman, and said to Ding Yi with a smile:

"Let's rest for another day or two. You see, you've been walking for so long since you came here to eat. The injury on your leg still needs to recover."

"Then just listen to my father-in-law."

Ding Yi recovered from his panic and put down the clean wooden bowl in his hand after he responded.

Seeing that Ding Yi had finished eating the black rice cereal in the wooden bowl, the old woman's face regained her composure, and then sat down again, but her eyes were staring at Ding Yi, as if she was afraid that Ding Yi would run away.

"Then I'll go back to the house and rest."

Ding Yi was a little frightened by the old woman's pale eyes. He said something to the two of them and limped into his small room.

Seeing Ding Yi close the door, Old Man Wei and the old woman looked at each other, then they both stood up and tiptoed to the outside of the wooden door, and looked inside through the gap in the wooden door.

When they saw Ding Yi lying back on the bed wrapped in quilt, the two looked at each other expressionlessly, and then quietly returned to the dining table.

"He seems to have discovered it."

Old Man Wei said softly.

"Yeah, but there are only two days left before I can go to the Taoist temple, so I can make it in time."

the old woman responded.

"I went out to inquire about it this morning. It was Old Man Ma and his family who died last night."

Old Man Wei continued expressionlessly.

"The last time I went to the Taoist temple, they didn't collect enough sacrifices. It seems they didn't exchange enough blood candles."

The old woman chuckled.

"Let's go. This kid can't become a monster after drinking contaminated water."

After Old Man Wei finished speaking, he stood up, and the old woman followed him out of the door step by step.

The two locked the door from the outside with a rusty iron chain, then chose a direction and left slowly.

In the house, Ding Yi, who was lying on the bed when he heard the sound of locking the door, opened his eyes immediately. He slowly sat up with his arms, and then listened carefully to the sound. After making sure that the two old Bideng had left, he Slowly walked off the bed.

What he ate in the morning was not something he intended to spit out.

First of all, the room was too small and there was no place to hide the vomit. If the two immortals discovered the smell, it would probably drive them crazy.

In addition, he is already weak. If there is nothing to fill his stomach, he may become even weaker, which will have an impact on the next plan.

"What to do?"

Ding Yi sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the wooden door in front of him, thinking rapidly in his mind.
