Chapter 172 Resistance
Zhuang Yun quickly carried the young man out of the lounge and put him on the sofa outside. The young man looked much better now.
"I just applied medicine to him and fed him blood-boosting potions and tonics. What should I do now?"
This person is still in a coma, and I don’t know if I can go to the hostel to help him register.
Shen Jufeng was very interested in the skills the boy had acquired, and was also curious about where he came from. "Let's see when he wakes up. If he doesn't wake up, let him stay at my place."
Lu Jiu is a girl, so it is not convenient to take him with her. Zhuang Yun also has to take his daughter with him, and he is afraid that the child will be scared if he takes a stranger back.
The best thing to do is to go to him.
But it depends on when this boy wakes up.

The pharmacy would not close down just to treat one person. After a while, a familiar person came into the store. It was Dou Fanrong from Lin Zuo's team.
When the other party saw the three of them here and there was a person lying on the sofa, even though he was not familiar with the other person, he couldn't help but take a look.
Unexpectedly, the person lying there was a handsome boy. Dou Fanrong approached the boy with great interest and lay on the edge of the sofa, close to his sleeping face.
Lu Jiu, who was sitting next to the young man, blocked his shoulder and stopped him from getting any closer. "This person is sick. If you want to buy medicine, go buy it. Don't disturb the patient."
Dou Fanrong chuckled, his eyes lingering on the boy's face, and he raised an eyebrow and asked Lu Jiu, "Your brother?"
It doesn't look like it.
Lu Jiu replied expressionlessly: "It has nothing to do with you."
What is this guy doing? Could it be that he knows this boy?
Dou Fanrong then stood up and said, "If it weren't for my brother, why would he be watching so closely..."
Lu Jiu gritted his teeth and endured it.
On the side, Shen Jufeng glanced at Dou Fanrong with a sharp look, and the other party left nonchalantly, as if he remembered what he was here for.
This little episode passed quickly, but Dou Fanrong still looked back at the boy before leaving.

The boy seemed to be in a very bad condition before, and he didn't wake up until almost dusk.
He slowly opened his eyes and felt that his whole body was not as cold as before, and he saw a light with gentle glow.
He didn't know what he thought of, but he suddenly stood up and found himself in an unfamiliar place with two men and one woman staring at him.
Then the girl spoke, "You finally woke up. You've been unconscious for several hours."
If he doesn't wake up, he will be made to live in Shen Jufeng's house.
As a result, the young man shrank into the corner of the sofa when he heard her words. Lu Jiu looked at his movements and didn't know what he had experienced that scared him so much.
Lu Jiu immediately raised his hands and said, "Calm down, we saved you."
The boy tried hard to recall what had happened before. It seemed that he saw three people approaching him before he fell into a coma. He wanted to call for help, but found that he was too seriously ill and could not make any sound.
He stumbled, "Thank you...thank you."
Seeing that he was awake, Zhuang Yun asked him curiously, "Why are you alone in the wild? The blizzard just stopped. Did you come from a nearby city?"
They had killed a bronze-level monster in the wild this morning, and monsters don't appear alone, so it was too dangerous for the child to be alone in the woods before.
And it was so miserable.
But the boy just lowered his head and said nothing.
I guess he was stimulated by something before.
Lu Jiu no longer dwelled on this. "This is Xuantian City. How do you feel now? If you can walk, you can go to the accommodation center to register. Otherwise, you will have nowhere to stay at night."
The young man finally responded. His pale lips trembled a few times before he muttered, "Thank you. I'll go register. I'll pay you back for whatever it cost you to save me."
Lu Jiu told the price truthfully. This young man would probably be staying here temporarily, so he would definitely know the prices of medicines in the pharmacy.
The boy actually had some money on him, so he handed it over carefully. Lu Jiu was especially careful not to touch him, so as not to scare him again.
"My name is Yong Lin. You saved me. I will repay you in the future."
Shen Jufeng looked at Yong Lin calmly and said calmly, "Just take care of yourself. We are just here to help."
Seeing that the man was not in a good mental state, he didn't want to force him to tell where he came from or why he was alone.
Yong Lin nodded silently after hearing his words.
Lu Jiu and the other three also stood up and prepared to leave. Zhuang Yun handed him the medicine and said, "This ointment is for external use. You should apply it to your frostbitten areas. This small medicine bottle contains tonic. You only need to take one pill a day."
Yong Lin took the medicine and thanked him again.

After Lu Jiu left the store, he sighed inwardly. He had originally thought that they had a good start today, but he didn't expect that it was just a good start with nothing happening afterwards.
"I didn't expect that someone as gentle as me could scare this young boy by talking to him."
At that time, Lu Jiu almost thought that he looked very ferocious.
Shen Jufeng frowned slightly, "Maybe he's just been stimulated and is temporarily afraid of strangers."
This will generally adjust itself slowly over time, but whether the direction of the adjustment is good or bad is unknown.
Lu Jiu shook his head. "Just do a good deed today. It's a pity I didn't get to eat the spicy stewed lamb chops at noon."
They waited for the boy to wake up, ate a few rice balls, and then took out their share of snake gallbladder and gave it to the store manager.
Seeing that Lu Jiu had obtained the snake gallbladder of a bronze-level wild monster, the store manager smiled with satisfaction.
Zhuang Yun: "Not bad, I've gained a lot today. I'm going to the forging shop. What about you guys?"
There was nothing else to do, so Lu Jiu had to go. "Go ahead, it's a good opportunity to see what good equipment I can make. I feel like I need a silver-grade weapon right now."
Shen Jufeng put his hands in his coat pockets, "You are so precious about the Broken Cloud Bow today, you want a new love so soon."
Lu Jiu: "That's different. Even if I have new weapons, I won't throw them away."
Those were all “partners” who had fought with me.
The three of them were chatting in a relaxed tone, and the young man walked out from behind them. Yong Lin looked at their backs with envy in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
The forge manager was in a good mood when he saw that they brought the materials as rewards for killing bronze-level monsters.
The huge snake bones are placed indoors. Now when I see them in front of me, I realize how beautiful they are. The light shines on the milky white skeleton, reflecting a warm light.
"Good stuff! This snake skin can be made into soft armor. Although the teeth are a bit short, they can be made into daggers."
Zhuang Yun looked at the snake's thick spine and said, "I'd better customize a sword, a piece of soft armor, and a dagger. I'll sell the rest of the materials here."
The store manager nodded and showed him some cards with weapon designs on them.
Shen Jufeng had a custom-made longsword, and the rest were the same as Zhuang Yun. Lu Jiu had a bow. Although she didn't need a dagger very often, it wouldn't hurt to collect one.
Shen Jufeng and Zhuang Yun both made money from selling materials, but Lu Jiu contributed materials for free. But thinking about having a new bow, his mood improved.
