Chapter 73 Flattery
"If I were to die this year, I would definitely not be poisoned by Bai Xiaofeng, but pissed off by you, a dog coin!"
Du Buwei covered his chest and gasped for breath, breathing more out than in, rolling his eyes as if he was about to die at any time.
Looking at the freshly dug pit, he made a final request, "After all, we've been through thick and thin together for so many years. When I die, give me a coffin and bury me. Don't just bury me in the ground. I don't want to take root or sprout."
"Okay." Broken Blade nodded, lowered his head and continued to wield the hoe, smoothing the edges and corners of the pit. "Can I find ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, and snow lotus in the pharmacy in the city?"
Du Buqin fell back and lay flat on his back without struggling. A desperado like him had been prepared for death since the first day of his evil deeds. "The pharmacy only has common herbs. The rare and precious herbs like ginseng and ganoderma are all in the hands of a few powerful forces. And even those powerful forces don't have much."
For example, at Bai Xiaofeng's place, there are only Begonia and Snow Silkworm.
There are ginseng and snow lotus at the bearded man's place at the Twelve Piers.
The Bai family has a rare jade Ganoderma lucidum and a piece of whole musk the size of a fist.
After spending so many years in Fengyun City, he is well aware of the medicinal herbs used by various forces.
A faint voice came from below, "The Su family master can take out three kinds of fresh ones at the same time."
"Nonsense, I've only seen fresh snow lotus." Du Buqin looked at the morning sky, his triangular eyes rippled slightly, then quickly returned to silence, "A petal."
"The Huo family's ginseng was given by the Su family, as well as the Ganoderma lucidum. The Su family let it go bad and used it as fertilizer in the vegetable garden."
“…”
"If there's nothing in the inner city, 'he' might be able to find it."
The old man on the roof jumped up and cursed, "Why didn't you tell me earlier! My skin is almost rotten to the top of my head!"
Broken Blade stopped moving and leaned on his hoe, "I just remembered."
"Just wait, I'm going to kill you sooner or later! Ouch, it hurts so much... Tianbao! Tianbao! Hurry up and save Grandpa Du!"
The old man was causing trouble again. The Su family members had no choice but to get up one after another. When they arrived at the main hall and saw Du Buqin's appearance, they were frightened and woke up instantly, "Du Lao?! What's wrong?"
Du Buqin lay at the door of the Su family's main hall with a blackened and festering face. Only his two eyeballs were intact. "Quick, call an expert, help!"
Saying one more word of nonsense is a blasphemy to his life!
The Su family didn't understand what was going on, but they were also panicked when they saw Du Buni's appearance.
Despite the initial unpleasantness of their encounter, the Su family had watched closely how the old man treated them and the children. Such a quirky and eccentric man, yet he let Little Sweetie ride on his neck, brought the children delicious food, and played with them. The old man, who was reluctant to treat others, was offered help without hesitation, simply by asking.
Du Lao treats them as his own people.
So do they.
"Boss, Yuelan, call Tianbao quickly!" Old Mrs. Su's hands were shaking.
Liu Yuelan got up only after hearing the noise. When she got up, Tianbao was still asleep, so she didn't carry her out. Now that her mother-in-law had spoken, Liu Yuelan went into the room without saying a word.
Su Da and Su Er ran towards Du Buni together, trying to help him up.
"Don't touch me... I'm poisonous..." The old man was barely breathing.
Su Da and Su Er slammed on the brakes, turned their heads and looked around, then pulled out two wooden sticks from behind the main door and held them out, "Du Lao, grab the sticks and get up!"
Poison-proof, "..."
I just said that and you are really rude. You don’t even pretend?
The world is fickle and human nature is as fragile as paper!
Old Man Su and Old Lady Su quickly spread a layer of straw on the ground and covered it with old clothes. "Quick, help the person in and lie down! Old Du, we don't have much experience and don't know what to do. If you can help, please tell me!"
The skin was festering and spreading, and the pain was as painful as being cut by a blunt knife. Du Buwei really didn't have the strength to speak at this time. The energy he saved went straight to the core, "Master, help!"
Liu Yuelan rushed out holding Tianbao.
Little Sweetie was still half-awake when he suddenly saw the black man lying in the main room. He tilted his head to one side as usual, his two black pupils staring at the other man, their eyes narrowed into cross-eyed expressions. "Huh?"
Du Buqin was lying there. Seeing the little girl like this, he subconsciously tilted his head along with her, forcing his head into a weird angle. Only when his neck hurt did he realize how stupid his action was.
"Bao, save..."
Old Man Su was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead, "Brother, tell me how to save you!"
At this time, Duan Dao walked into the yard from outside, returning the hoe, "He needs antidote herbs."
"What herbs do you want?"
Before Old Man Su finished speaking, he heard a series of clear and crisp counting.
"Five-color plum, poinsettia, euphorbia, Gelsemium, and Achyranthes bidentata!"
The Su family froze and all looked down at the person lying on the ground.
Du Lao, that's not what you said just now.
"What are you looking at me for? I'm having a last gasp!" Du Buqin sat up in shock from his dying illness, his eyes blazing. "Where's the master? Tianbao, quickly call your master out, or Grandpa Du will really die!"
Hearing the word death, Tianbao pursed his lips, struggled out of his mother's arms, and crawled to the old man using his little hands and feet.
The Su family stood by and watched in silence.
They are unsure.
Tianbao can take out food, but he may not even have medicinal herbs.
At this time, no one had the mind to think about anything else. Du Lao's life was hanging by a thread, and they were so nervous that their palms were sweating.
Duan Dao did not walk into the main room. When Tian Bao crawled towards Du Lao, he half-closed his eyes and turned his back.
At this time, the three boys who woke up a little later also ran out of the room. Their hair was not combed yet, and their clothes were not put on properly. They threw themselves beside the old man and burst into tears with their mouths wide open. There was a look of ignorant fear and heartache in their eyes. "Grandpa Du! Wuuwuwu, what's wrong with you, Grandpa Du!"
Du Buqin glanced at the three slugs, and after a moment he pulled out a piece of straw to push them apart. "Your crying is so ugly. Go away, don't make my eyes hurt, Grandpa Du. It's okay... When I recover, I'll take you to hunt birds and fish!"
In the moment he was distracted, Tianbao had already crawled to him, turned up a corner of the straw on the ground, reached in with his little hand and dug out. In an instant, he dug out a handful of medicinal herbs, and then another handful, and another handful.
There are flower stamens and green grass.
“…”Others might not recognize them, but Du Buqun would definitely not make a mistake. These were all the herbs he had just requested.
Nothing missing!
And it was freshly unearthed. You could see that there was still moisture on the branches and leaves of the herbs, and there was wet mud at the roots!
Du Buqin went from being bewildered at first, to being stunned, to his eyes popping out, and finally he fell backwards with his head tilted back without taking his last breath.
"Ho, ho, ho, huh!" He struggled to breathe, and when he regained his breath, he flattered the master angrily, "He comes and goes without a trace! The master, yes, really is a master!"
The thatch that little sweet baby lifted was right next to his knees!
So close!
He didn't even know when the master put the thing there!
Silently and silently, this is a true master, a peerless master!
"Quick, Broken Blade, carry me to the pharmacy. I need to make some medicine to fight poison with poison!"
Duan Dao, who had his back to the main hall, turned around and asked, "Is there still time?"
"Are you expecting me to die? One more moment is enough!"
Poison cannot penetrate the teeth.
No one wants to die if they can live. Now that all the medicinal materials are available, he will hold on until he can make the antidote!
