The old woman's expression became increasingly strange. "Send something? What are you sending?"

Meng Qingyin didn't answer the question. She had a hunch that something was wrong. "Grandma, do you know where Li Tieniu's house is?"

The old woman glanced at her and said, "Don't go. It's too late."

Meng Qingyin was stunned and asked in confusion: "Late? What does that mean?"

The old woman sighed: "Alas, Li Tieniu is dying."

Meng Qingyin was shocked. "He's dying? What happened?"

The old woman said, "He accidentally fell off the roof yesterday. The doctor said his internal organs were shattered and he couldn't be saved."

Meng Qingyin was anxious: "Grandma, please tell me where Li Tieniu's home is. I have something very important to give him!"

She had to deliver the dart to Li Tieniu before he died! Otherwise, the mission would fail!

The old woman raised her hand and pointed, "Go down that alley. His house is at the very end."

"Thank you!" Meng Qingyin thanked him and hurried over there.

Behind him, the old men and women started talking again.

"Who is that little girl? She doesn't look like a child from our village."

"She said she was delivering something to Tie Niu, but I didn't see her taking anything."

"Who knows? I just told her that Tie Niu was dying. You didn't see it, but she almost cried! I think she might be Tie Niu's girlfriend!"

"If this Iron Ox were to die, wouldn't the little girl, who has deep feelings for him, follow him?"

"Old Liu, you should read less novels. Your mind is already muddled!"

"Alas, now that Tie Niu is gone, Blacksmith Li is left all alone and helpless, with no family left. How pitiful."

“…”

Meng Qingyin could no longer hear the discussions behind her. She had only one thought in her mind: she must complete the mission!

She ran as fast as she could and soon arrived at Li Tieniu's house.

The door was wide open, and a middle-aged man was standing in the yard. He looked sad and dejected.

Hearing footsteps, he looked up at Meng Qingyin without saying anything.

Meng Qingyin said anxiously: "I'm looking for Li Tieniu. I have something to give him!"

The middle-aged man moved his lips and said in a dry voice: "...Inside the house."

Meng Qingyin rushed into the room and saw a young man lying on the bed. His face was somewhat similar to the middle-aged man, but the young man's face was pale and his eyes were closed, and it was unclear whether he was alive or dead.

Meng Qingyin was startled. She walked to the bed and asked tentatively, "Li Tieniu? Are you... okay?"

The young man on the bed struggled to open his eyes, staring blankly at Meng Qingyin, his lips moving but unable to utter a single word.

Meng Qingyin was certain that this person was Li Tieniu.

She quickly took the gold box out of the system backpack and placed it on the bedside: "I am an escort, I am here to deliver something to you."

Li Tieniu glanced at the gold box and moved his lips again.

Meng Qingyin guessed that he might want to say thank you.

"Don't thank me, it's just my job." Meng Qingyin couldn't help but lower her voice, "Then you should rest first."

This man is breathing in more than he is breathing out, and he is about to die. It is better to leave some time for the middle-aged man in the yard.

Meng Qingyin glanced at the task, wanting to see what the reward was.

But after seeing the content of the task, her eyes widened in surprise.

[Task details: Please deliver the goods to Li Tieniu, a villager in Lijia Village, within 24 hours. Lijia Village is located near Highway 503.

Mission time: 2:49:23.

What's going on?

She has already handed the gold box to Li Tieniu, why hasn't the mission been completed yet?

What went wrong?

Meng Qingyin looked at the young man on the bed again, and an idea popped into her mind.

Isn’t he Li Tieniu?

But the old woman at the entrance of the village clearly said...

Could it be that the old woman deceived her?

But there was no reason for the old woman to lie to her?

And when she called her Li Tieniu just now, he also responded.

What is going on?

Meng Qingyin's mind was in a mess.

At this time, a middle-aged man walked in. He tucked the corner of the young man's quilt, turned to Meng Qingyin and said, "Are you Tie Niu's friend? You are so thoughtful to come all the way here."

Meng Qingyin frowned and said, "I'm here to deliver something to Li Tieniu."

The middle-aged man glanced at the gold box and said, "He has no use for it now. You can take it."

Meng Qingyin was now certain that the young man on the bed was Li Tieniu.

But why was the mission not completed?

Does it mean that Li Tieniu must accept it personally?

But he was almost unconscious, how could he accept this golden box?

"Miss, please go away. I want to be alone with Tie Niu for a while."

The middle-aged man ordered them to leave.

Meng Qingyin didn't know whether to leave or stay.

If she left and Li Tieniu died, her mission would not be completed.

But if I stay, the mission will not progress.

Suddenly, she remembered that she had a bottle of [Healing Potion]!

only……

Healing potions can save lives, but do you really want to give them to an unrelated NPC?

If the reward you get is not as good as the healing potion, you will lose out.

Meng Qingyin was a little hesitant, but then she thought, since the healing potion was free anyway, she might as well give it to Li Tieniu.

Otherwise, if the mission fails, you will lose five random supplies, maybe even the healing potion?

And maybe the reward for the mission is even more valuable than the healing potion?

Just bet once!

Anyway, participating in this escort activity is a gamble, so it doesn’t matter if it happens once!
