Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 84 Small Union

"Ah Qiu, I, I don't know..." The little beggar coughed even harder, as if he was about to cough up his lungs.

This kid is quite loyal, that's interesting...

Han Yi looked at the '0~1' value above the little beggar's head and shook his head.

This little beggar's life force was extremely weak, like a candle flickering in the wind, which could be extinguished with a single breath.

This was the first time Han Yi had ever seen someone whose life was so fragile.

"I'm not here to find Ah Qiu's enemies..."

Han Yi's expression was gentle, and he revealed a warm smile.

He took out a dose of "blood-activating powder" and threw it to the beggar in the corner.

"Take it with warm water; that should relieve your cough..."

The little beggar didn't hesitate and immediately swallowed the 'blood-activating powder'.

He also understood that if an enemy came knocking, he wouldn't be so friendly, and there was no need to use poison for amusement.

A short while later, although the little beggar was still coughing, his complexion had improved significantly.

"Thank you for the medicine, sir!"

The little beggar struggled to sit up, bowing repeatedly with his hands clasped.

How long has it been since he felt the strength returning to his body after contracting that strange, incurable illness?

"Get up... What's your name? And what's your name, A-Qiu?"

"Xiao... I don't even know my name. They all call me Xiao He. A Qiu is my good brother!"

Xiao He looked up and gave a fawning smile.

Xiao He?

Han Yi nodded thoughtfully. He remembered that A Qiu had told him that a friend named Xiao He had contracted a strange, incurable illness in Changningfang…

"My surname is Han. I don't know if Qiu has ever mentioned me to you..."

"Han...?"

"May I ask if you are Han Yi, Brother Han...?"

Xiao He's timid voice rang out.

Han Yi nodded.

"I... I've heard A-Qiu talk about you, brother. He said you're a great person, and he said he'd repay your kindness in the future!"

Xiao He breathed a sigh of relief and said excitedly.

I never imagined that the first "good person card" I would receive would be given to me by a little beggar...

Han Yi touched his nose and gave a wry smile.

"Oh, you mean that quite a few people in Changning Ward have caught a cold, and that's why A-Qiu brought you to this dilapidated temple?"

"Yes, Ah Qiu spent a lot of money to go to 'Taihe Hall' and invite Doctor Wu over for me. He prescribed several doses of medicine, but they had no effect..."

"So Ah Qiu let me stay in this temple, and I felt that my health was better than before..."

Alas, life is full of hardships. The government is inactive, thinking it's just a minor ailment, not worth worrying about, while it's always the poor who suffer...

"Have you eaten?" Han Yi asked.

Xiao He hesitated for a moment, then painstakingly pulled out a cornbread from his pocket. It was dark and looked like a stone, and it must have been mixed with a lot of grass roots and wild vegetables.

"Sigh..." Han Yi tossed the dry rations and cured meat he was carrying over, and then he also threw over a few bags of 'blood-activating powder'.

That's all he can do. He's not a doctor and doesn't have the skills to diagnose diseases through observation, listening, questioning, and palpation.

But if you eat well and become physically strong, your body will likely have a stronger ability to resist disease...

"Thank you so much, Brother Han..." Xiao He immediately knelt down and kowtowed several times.

"No need for so much formality... By the way, where did A-Qiu go?"

Han Yi came to the dilapidated temple mainly because he wanted to find A Qiu.

"Ah Qiu seems to have gone to the lecture hall in Yuqingfang. He said he wanted to learn to read and write, learn martial arts, and earn money to treat my illness..."

When Xiaohe mentioned Aqiu, tears welled up in her eyes.

There was indeed some genuine affection between the two of them, which explains why Xiao He was initially reluctant to reveal A Qiu's whereabouts to me...

Han Yi's evaluation of A Qiu and Xiao He has risen a notch.

"You two at least know how to behave properly, not bad..."

"You stay here and rest, I'll go check on Ah Qiu..."

---------------

At this moment, at the foot of the hill.

Yu, Yu, Yu

A burly man with a broad face, riding a tall, dark blue horse, slowly reined in his horse and arrived near the mountains and forests.

There were seven or eight well-dressed, bare-chested men following the big man. Just by looking at their fierce expressions and the blood-stained broadswords they carried, you could tell they were no good people.

The burly man on horseback took out a bluish-green bamboo tube from his pocket, shook it gently, and brought it close to his ear to listen carefully.

Inside the bamboo tube, the faint sound of wings flapping could be heard, and if you listened carefully, it seemed to have a certain rhythm.

A sharp sound, followed by three longer sounds.

The burly man approached the gap between the lid and the bamboo tube, his nostrils twitching a few times.

"This aroma is unmistakable!"

"Young ones, come on!"

He shouted with a ferocious expression.

Going up the mountain is easy, but coming down is hard!

Looking down from the mountaintop, one sees a lush and dense forest with no gaps in the trees. There are also several old trees with huge canopies like pavilions, but their trunks grow in a menacing manner, like a row of giant pythons.

call out!

As soon as he entered the forest, Han Yi, like a nimble monkey, leaped lightly onto the treetops and rushed out of the forest with all his might.

"Something's not right!" Before he had even walked halfway through the forest, Han Yi suddenly stopped and stood on a treetop, listening intently to the sounds coming from the woods.

It was July or August, when the forest was at its most lush, and the mosquitoes and birds in the forest were extremely active.

Because the mountain path leading to the ruined temple had long been abandoned, he had to pass through this forest on his way up the mountain, and at that time he complained about the noise and mosquitoes.

At this moment, the woods were quiet, as if all the snakes, insects, birds and beasts had vanished in an instant.

Han Yi looked around and saw that the small animals with values ​​of '0~1' and '1~2' were no longer in his field of vision.

His mind raced, and he leaped forward, preparing to change direction and jump to the treetop on the other side.

Wow!

Several sticky nets fell from the sky, and a hint of surprise flashed in Han Yi's eyes.

Without a second thought, he quickly activated his "Flying Swallow Kick," leaping lightly from the treetop to avoid the attack.

Rumble!

The sound of horses' hooves pounding the ground echoed.

Suddenly, a burly man with bloodshot eyes, wielding a large cleaver, rode up on a black wind horse.

"Kill, kill!"

Suddenly, seven or eight fierce-looking men appeared around Han Yi, brandishing swords and knives, and surrounded him.

Suddenly, he was surrounded by danger!
