C87 (1/2)

As the valley was far away from the world, it was easy for people to feel that time was slow. In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed and Ye Wen's cold ribs had basically recovered. Ye Wen was amazed. Without the help of herbal medicine, he would need three months to heal his broken ribs. He could not understand why he would be able to recover in half a month. The old man and Ye Mo had talked to each other the day Ye Mo woke up. After that, the two of them had not talked much for a long time. The old man was either busy working in the fields or fishing in the spring and cooking a pot of fish soup. Every day, Ye Han ate and drank those things that were hard to swallow. His already gloomy mood became even more cloudy.

That day, the old man stewed another pot of fish. The meat was a little blurry, but it was still as disgusting as usual. Ye Wen Han picked up the bowl and forcefully ate a few mouthfuls. It was really hard to swallow, so he put the bowl down and went to the spring. The spring water gurgled continuously, the water was faintly purple, and smoke was rising. He really did not know why there were fish in this kind of spring water. Furthermore, the fish was completely black in color, and after being cooked, it looked no different from ordinary fish.

”Isn't it delicious?” The old man finished the rest of the fish and meat and walked over to Ye Mo Han.

Ye Mo Han sighed, and said with slight grievance, ”Senior, every day I eat these boiled black fish with white water, I'm almost going to vomit.”

The old man sneered, ”You can't resist eating for so many days? I've been eating here for almost forty years. ”

After so many years, he actually only ate this kind of food. Although this old man looked quite old, his appetite was not small either. According to the fish count, he had eaten so many fish in his life. Where did all these fish come from in this small spring? Ye Wen Han became more suspicious of this spring water.

The old man continued, ”Don't underestimate this black fish. If not for this black fish, do you think your ribs would have recovered so quickly?”

”Senior, are you saying that this fish can treat injuries?” Ye Mo Han was shocked.

”Of course it can.” ”The old man seemed to be filled with vigor. He was no longer old, and he pointed at the spring water in front of Ye Wen.” This spring water is poisonous, and since this black fish can grow in it, it means that it can overcome the toxicity of this water. ”

Even the old man could not tell why the spring water was poisonous. However, he had lived here for a long time, so he had a deep understanding of all of this. The poison of the spring water would cause the bird to die within three days of drinking it. But the old man had lived here for forty years, and he ate black fish and drank spring water all day, but he had nothing to do with it.

”Senior.” ”That's right,” Ye Mo Han called out from the bottom of his heart. We have been together for a long time, and I still do not know your name. ”

The old man chuckled. ”I have forgotten my name. If you stay here long enough, you'll forget your name. ”

”Is it really impossible to get out of here?”

”Will I stay here for forty more years?” the old man asked.

An indescribable fear rose in Ye Mo Han's heart. If I don't get out of this valley, will I really die of old age here? If that was the case, how much unwillingness would be in his heart? Sometimes, terrifying things were not the result of a powerless heart. Rather, it was the result of a strong heart, only to discover that there was nothing they could do about it.

The old man saw that Ye Mo Han had become depressed again, so he patted him on the shoulder and said: ”Young man, don't worry, your life is entirely dependent on my Black Dragon Pills, not to mention the Void Essence Powder's effect has just passed, you haven't even recovered yet, even if you could get out you wouldn't have the ability to do so.”
