27 Sick (2/2)

“How’s your brother?” said Zhao Tiezhu lazily as he kept the largest piece of bacon.

“Didn’t I say so earlier!” replied Jiang Xiaorou sharply.

“Hehe, let me follow you back. What can I do, I have a good heart and I care for the citizens,” said Zhao Tiezhu as he made a division between himself and the commoners. The word “citizens” was extremely irksome to the ears.

As for why he wanted to see Yi Yun was partly due to Lian Chengyu’s instructions, or he couldn’t be bothered less. Zhao Tiezhu did not understand why Lian Chengyu was taking such care for the little monkey.

Actually, Lian Chengyu had only said it to Zhao Tiezhu casually, and did not take it to heart. He had aspirations higher than the sky, to become one who lords above all, and enjoy endless riches. Why would he bother about some small character like Yi Yun?

He was just curious why Yi Yun had not died all this while.

He had fell off a cliff when picking herbs the first time. He was even able to dig himself out after being buried.

The second time was when he had secretly transmitted a fatal Yuan Qi into Yi Yun’s body, but Yi Yun still did not die.

Lian Chengyu wanted to know that with the refining of the desolate bones–the desolate bone’s frost poison together with the toxicity of the Blood Thinning Pills, could Yi Yun still survive it?

To Lian Chengyu, Yi Yun was like a c*ckroach. Although a c*ckroach was small and weak, it had an extremely tenacious vitality. Even after being squashed with its organs burst and losing the capacity to move, a c*ckroach could still survive a day or two without food and water.

Yi Yun was similar. Although he was so weak, he had survived numerous death experiences.

“Peng!”

The yard door was kicked opened. Jiang Xiaorou asked with a crisp angry voice, “What are you doing!”

“Haha, to see your brother.” Zhao Tiezhu strutted in and saw Yi Yun lying on the bed.

Yi Yun’s face was covered in sweat. His hair was wet and sticking to his forehead. There was a pot that seemed to contain vomit, emitting a foul stench.

“Damn it, it’s noxious!” Zhao Tiezhu pinched his nose and passed the Blood Thinning Pill to Yi Yun, “I don’t really know what dog sh*t luck you have, to be able to get special treatment from Young master Lian. You look worse than a beggar of beggars. Looking at you makes me feel sick. Quickly eat this pill!”

Yi Yun picked up the Blood Thinning Pill on his blanket with a deadpan expression. Jiang Xiaorou rushed forward with a bowl of water.

When Yi Yun held the Blood Thinning Pill, he could feel the energetic properties of the pill.

There were pathetic amounts of energy in it. It did not contain any valuable herbs, but contained a very poisonous substance.

A good pill contained energy within it. The pill’s medicinal essence would spread through the body when a person consumes it. It will then naturally heal injuries, giving the person a new lease of life.

But a bad pill like the Blood Thinning Pill contained nearly no energy. It used the toxic substance to stimulate a person’s potential, without any concern for the consequences.

So although a person could recover quickly after eating this pill, it would greatly shorten the person’s life.

For a pill that did more harm than good, Yi Yun of course did not eat it.

Although Zhao Tiezhu was looking from the side, it wasn’t hard for Yi Yun to deceive him. He ate the Blood Thinning Pill and drank a mouthful of water. It seemed like he drank a lot of water, but when the bowl was removed, Yi Yun had spit out all the water back into the bowl.

Following that, Yi Yun looked as if it took a lot of work to swallow, but his mouth contained no water, so naturally nothing was actually swallowed.

Immediately following that, Yi Yun would pretend that his body was weak to point that he had difficulties even in drinking water, and would cough violently.

Jiang Xiaorou came forward with a cloth to wipe Yi Yun’s mouth. In the process of wiping his mouth, Yi Yun spit out the Blood Thinning Pill without any trace, leaving the pill in the cloth.

With the cloth scrunched up, nothing could be seen.

Zhao Tiezhu was full of disregard and impatience, so he did not see through Yi Yun’s act. Even if it was Lian Chengyu who came, he would probably not have seen Yi Yun spit out the pill.

After all, Yi Yun had the appearance of a twelve-year-old. Who would think that he could be capable of such acts?

“Count your blessings! After eating this pill, it will not only save your life, but it will make you more energetic. It’s better than looking like a ill-ridden weakling!” Saying that, Zhao Tiezhu walked off.

After Zhao Tiezhu left, Yi Yun scrutinized the Blood Thinning Pill in the cloth with a flash in his eyes. This Lian Chengyu is so cruel. To refine that set of desolate bones, he was prepared to kill numerous people!

This strange world was unlike Earth.

On Earth, there would be instances where a child brings a knife to school to stab another child to death after a quarrel between the two. These kind of situations were rare, and only seen on news networks like Tencent.

But in this power-oriented strange world, such matters where someone could be killed over some words, eh…Could it still be labeled a matter?

Because of the peaceful rule of law on Earth, murder was a huge deal, but over here, murder was as commonplace as slaughtering cattle.

In fact, plenty of times, killing someone did not need a reason. Not looking right was sufficient reason…
