C291 There Is No Ego in the World
Murong Yun shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he wasn't sure either.
With doubts in their hearts, the two arrived at Mount Ku Jueming and very easily found the acupuncture studio.
This acupuncture point was a small thatched hut at the foot of the mountain. Even so, there was an endless stream of people lining up for acupuncture.
It was almost evening but there were still many people waiting outside the acupuncture point.
Luo Jianjian and Murong Yun were strolling in the small courtyard outside the thatched cottage. As they looked at the herbs that were drying in the garden, they arranged the medicine pots and other stuff neatly. It was not like a place where a blind person could live alone.
"Everyone, today, I have already received twenty guests. If you need anything, please come back tomorrow!"
Luo Jianjian and Murong Yun were waiting for a long time when a man suddenly came out of the thatched cottage and shouted to the people in line behind him.
The people standing in line all had a look of pity on their faces, but they still obediently left.
After those people leave, the man will close the door. Luo Jianjian and Murong Yun rushed over and stopped the man from closing the door.
When she looked closer, Luo Jianjian noticed that the man's eyes were cloudy and lifeless. Otherwise, looking from afar, his walking speed wouldn't be slow, and he wouldn't even be able to feel his way out of the door. No matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like a blind person.
"You two, I no longer need to do acupuncture today, so I'll have to trouble you two to come back tomorrow. This is my rule."
The man looked slightly displeased, but Luo Jianjian quickly explained.
"No, we are not here for acupuncture. We were recommended by Lin Zimo, and want to borrow your Red Venomous Insect. "
"Zimo?"
When the man heard Lin Zimo's name, his entire body trembled, and his hand that was holding onto the door frame slid down.
Seeing a trace of tears in his slightly cloudy eyes, Luo Jianjian was sure that this person should be Lin Zimo's father.
"Please come in."
The man calmed himself down and let Luo Jianjian and Murong Yun in.
As soon as Luo Jianjian entered the room, she smelled the fragrance of medicinal herbs. It wasn't like other places, where it stank. The aroma of the medicinal plants was extremely refreshing.
"Is he all right?"
The moment he entered the room, the man asked absent-mindedly. Luo Jianjian and Murong Yun were stunned for a moment before they understood who he was asking about.
"Oh, Lin Zimo is good. He is currently the most famous genius doctor in the entire Tianqi Kingdom.
It seemed like this man had spent his days in the thatched cottage of Mount Ku, not hearing anything about what had happened in the city. Luo Jianjian and Murong Yun also did not have the heart to tell him that Lin Zimo had been framed and suffered.
"That's good, that's good. It's good to learn medicine, it's good to be a doctor to save people! "
The man sighed to himself as he suddenly thought of something.
"The two of you said you want that Red Venomous Insect?"
"Yes, we would like to borrow it. Although it was borrowed, it would probably not be able to be returned. I hope that you will be willing to part with them. "
The man smiled bitterly.
"What's there to be reluctant about?" If it wasn't for the fact that the bugs they raised in the past couldn't be destroyed, it would have been harmful to them to let them go. I've already abandoned them, but … This Red Venomous Insect is sinister, what are the two of you doing? "
The man seemed to be worried that Luo Jianjian and Murong Yun would use the Red Venomous Insect at a place they shouldn't be, so Luo Jianjian quickly explained.
"Rest assured Mister, we are definitely not here to harm people. However, in order to prove that these kinds of worms exist, because someone already used the Red Venomous Insect that they grew up in to harm people, but the ones that were killed did not believe it, so we can only … "1
When the man heard Luo Jianjian's words, he no longer hesitated and nodded.
"You are Zimo's friends, I am naturally relieved. He was just curious. You wait, I'll go get it. "
As the man said this, he walked into the courtyard. Luo Jianjian and Murong Yun hurriedly followed him. He was afraid that this man would fall because of his blindness.
Only then did they realize that they had been worrying too much. The man was extremely familiar with his own small courtyard and thatched cottage. There weren't any obstructions at all.
The man walked around to a mossy stone slab in the corner of the yard and heaved it up. Murong Yun quickly went to help and lifted the stone board.
After lifting up the stone slab, a bronze jar was placed inside. The bronze jar had been buried here for a long time.
"The Red Venomous Insect I raised all those years ago was in this bronze jar. You must be careful when you use it. Let Zimo mix some red cherry juice and put it on your hands, this way when you open the jar, the Red Venomous Insect will not bite back at you. "
Luo Jianjian looked nervously at the bronze jar, trying to pick it up. Murong Yun blocked her directly and picked up the bronze jar himself.
"Thank you senior, we will definitely use this poisonous insect carefully."
"There aren't many of these poisonous bugs left, just a dozen or so. But because I have been confined within this bronze jar for a long time, it is much more ferocious than the other Red Venomous Insect. It has never been tainted with bone and blood all year round, and once smelled, it would be akin to going insane. "
Listening to the man's words, Luo Jianjian felt like Murong Yun was carrying a ticking time bomb in his arms.
"As per Senior's instructions, we still have matters to attend to and need to return in a hurry." Also, Senior, do you have something you want us to pass on to Lin Zimo? "
Luo Jianjian was slightly stunned. Murong Yun seemed to be a rather straightforward person, but she didn't expect him to be able to think of such a delicate matter. These words were originally what he wanted to say.
The man pondered for a moment, then hesitated. In the end, he shook his head.
"I don't have anything to say to pass on. Thank you for your kind intentions."
Luo Jianjian was very surprised. This man clearly had a lot of things he wanted to say to Lin Zimo, but why didn't he want to?
"Sir, you don't have to be so polite with us. We are really good friends with Lin Zimo. You haven't seen him in a long time, have you? Why don't you just come back with us and meet him? "
Luo Jianjian said as she tried to pull the man's wrist, but the man nimbly dodged her.
"No need, really no need. Thank you for your kind intentions, but... To Zimo, there is no one like me left in this world. I have let him down, and now that I am living, it's just that I don't want to easily let go of this sin of mine and die a hundred times over. "
After the man finished, he bowed towards Luo Jianjian and Murong Yun without saying a word, turned around and returned to his thatched cottage and closed the door.
Luo Jianjian wanted to go up and say something, but was stopped by Murong Yun.
"They are already closed, can't you understand why they are being chased out of the city so obviously? It's almost dark, and This King is still holding the Red Beetle! "
Luo Jianjian felt unresigned in her heart, but there was nothing she could do. She could only regretfully follow Murong Yun as they left the mountain.
