I was an alchemist in those years

I thought maybe I would never see Liu Hao again. In fact, when I opened my eyes on the third day, Liu Hao was sitting beside my bed, still holding a knife in his hand, just peeling an apple. Imagine a hand that is used to chopping people with a knife, and it will peel the apple so thin.

I couldn't move, because the anesthetic for the wound under my body had just passed, and the piercing pain made my consciousness a little fuzzy, so it was hard for me to understand why Liu Hao was here.

The operation I just had in the hospital was acute appendicitis. Xiao Lianshan carried me to the hospital. He was the one who left with me that day. He still didn’t talk much on the way back. I asked him why he left without money, and he said The money is not clean and it is not prudent to use it. Maybe it is because of the similar age. I always feel very close to Xiao Lianshan.

In the end, we talked about everything along the way, but we didn’t mention anything about each other’s past. It can be seen that he, like me, has a story, and it’s a story that he doesn’t want to mention. His positioning is wrong, he is simply a chatterbox, but his personality is too introverted, once he is familiar with it, he will not stop talking.

When we went there, we took Liu Hao's car. Xiao Lianshan and I chose to leave proudly. I could even imagine Liu Hao watching us leave with a dissatisfied but helpless expression on his face, but this kind of pride did not How long did it last? After walking more than ten miles, I began to miss Liu Hao a little bit, or Liu Hao's truck to be precise.

I have had a dull pain in my lower right abdomen for several days. Shanliwa’s body is not that precious, so as long as she can bear it, she will not take it to heart, but the pain has been getting worse. Although I chatted with Xiao Lianshan, my head was full It was Dou Da's cold sweat. I clutched my abdomen hard and insisted on walking, and finally fell to the ground and lost consciousness.

Xiao Lianshan went to the hospital carrying me on his back. After a simple diagnosis, I was diagnosed with acute appendicitis. A white payment slip blocked me from the operating room. The operation fee was more than 200 yuan. But 17 yuan.

I was lying on the bench in the corridor of the hospital, dying of pain. Like a madman, Xiao Lianshan grabbed every passing doctor and begged for my illness to be treated first. words.

"Pay first!"

Xiao Lianshan saw that I was in pain, so he took off his clothes and rolled them into a ball and placed them under my head.

"You hold on for a while, I'll figure out a way."

I watched Xiao Lianshan's back slowly disappear in a daze. The operation fee of more than 200 is undoubtedly an astronomical figure for a day-to-day life. I don't know what the method Xiao Lianshan said, I even thought about it. He will not come back.

The pain made me collapse on the bench and passed out. When I opened my eyes again, the first person I saw was actually Liu Hao who was peeling apples. When Xiao Lianshan came in with a warm water bottle, I suddenly understood the method he was talking about. what is it.

Among Xiao Lianshan's acquaintances, he can only think of Liu Hao who can give out 200 yuan in the shortest time. Although I haven't known Xiao Lianshan for a long time, I know that it is difficult to ask for help because of his personality. I don't know Xiao Lianshan. What method did Liu Hao use to help me.

When I looked up, I saw that Xiao Lianshan’s forehead was covered with gauze, and there were vague bloodstains soaking out. I wanted to ask, but in the end I didn’t ask. Unless Xiao Lianshan wanted to tell me, otherwise, I believe it would be more difficult to pry his mouth open than to kill him. .

Liu Hao has already handed the peeled apple to me. I don’t know what kind of mentality Liu Hao has to save me, but without him, the place where I lie now should not be a hospital bed, but a mortuary, so I tried my best to save me. Squeeze a smile.

"Thank you."

"Thank me for what you're doing." Liu Hao said meaningfully as he stood up and patted Xiao Lianshan with a smirk all over his face. "Your life was saved by him. If you want to thank you, let's give you a break, brother. It's enough righteousness. I, Liu Hao, have convinced me."

I wanted to sit up, but Xiao Lianshan pressed me on the hospital bed.

"The wound hasn't healed yet. If you toss down the mountain and the wound opens, you will still suffer. The doctor said that you will be fine after lying down for seven days, and you can be discharged from the hospital after the stitches are removed."

There are canned food, milk powder and some nutritional products that I have never seen before on the bedside. They look expensive, and Xiao Lianshan and I cannot afford these things.

"Liu Hao bought it for me, and he left 1000 yuan. If you say it's not enough, just ask." Xiao Lianshan saw the doubt in my eyes.

I lay in the hospital bed for seven days, eating, drinking, and sleeping, and Xiao Lianshan ran up and down to take care of me for seven days. I never said a word of thanks, because the book said that the kindness of a drop of water will be repaid by the spring, not to mention that Xiao Lianshan rescued I have one life, and this friendship cannot be replaced by a few words.

Liu Hao comes back every day. After a long time, he finds that this person is not as bad as he thought. He doesn't seem to be very good at expressing himself. Every time he comes, he always peels an apple. When I am awake, I hand it to me. When I fall asleep I put it on the bedside when I was in bed, and then left without saying a word.

Liu Hao came very early on the day I had the stitches removed, and as soon as I entered the door, I noticed something was wrong. Liu Hao looked very bad today, seeing his face as sharp as a knife, and the death of a robber in battle, this is a sign of a bloody disaster. Buried in another country.

"Brother Liu, what year were you born?"

"..." Liu Hao was taken aback for a moment, not understanding why I suddenly asked this. "[-] years ago, what's the matter?"

It just so happened that Xiao Lianshan finished the discharge procedures, packed up his things and the three of us went out. When I went downstairs, I quickly counted with my left hand. Fifty-four was the year of Jiawu, and Liu Hao was a horse. Today happened to be the seventh day. Feng Geng is a demon, Liu Hao is in conflict with Ziwu, his life is short, he breaks promises and breaks promises, and many things hinder him.

Counting here, I just reached the gate of the hospital, so I grabbed Liu Hao.

"Today you can't walk through the main entrance, you want to survive the side entrance!"

"why?"

I really didn't know how to explain it to Liu Hao, so I dragged him while talking.

"Today, you are at the same time, the year is Jiazi, the afternoon is Yingmen, the gate of the hospital faces west, Jia meets Geng as evil, and Geng corresponds to the west in the gossip. If you walk through the main gate today, you will definitely die in hell."

Obviously Liu Hao didn’t understand what I was talking about, but maybe I was right about the fact that there was water in the tomb that day. Liu Hao followed me out of the hospital through the back door in doubt. He was surrounded by many people just after he went out and took a few steps. come up.

Before we could react, several machetes were already hung around our necks, and we were pushed into a van.

Liu Hao knew the person in the car, and he yelled loudly as soon as he got in the car.

"Fatty Luo, one size counts for one size. This matter has nothing to do with the two of them. If you want to kill or cut them, you can call them whatever you want, and let them go first."

I've thought about many possibilities, but I never thought that Liu Hao would say such a thing, although I'm not worried at all, because as long as Liu Hao listens to me and doesn't go to the west's main entrance, at most he will be out of danger today, and he will lose money and eliminate disasters But Liu Hao didn't know about it, he could see a person more clearly at the moment of life and death.

"It's all about this juncture, and you still miss others, hehe, everyone says you Liu Hao is loyal, it seems that what you said is true." With a knife, it looks like Maitreya Buddha.

"What do you want to say, hurry up, don't be silly like a girl." Liu Hao said with his head held high.

"This is Yuzhou, not your territory. If you step on the boundary to make money, you will break the rules first. I will be your right now, and your boss can't say anything." Fatty Luo touched the blade and smiled. "But today you have a lot of life. Our boss said that if you go out through the main entrance, you will be cut off without a second thought. If you come out through the back door, you will be spared for your boss's face."

Liu Hao stared at me dumbfounded and was speechless for a long time. I guess he must really want to ask me how I could guess the result in advance. , although life and death are determined by the sky, there is a definite number in the dark.

However, the art of metaphysics is broad and profound, and it is precisely because it can help people seek good luck and avoid evil that so many people have flocked to it for thousands of years. After I came to Yuzhou, I thought that the Taoism I learned secretly before was useless at all. took a life.

"People can leave, but the goods must stay."

I saw Fatty Luo taking a bag of things from Liu Hao. Even though Liu Hao had a lot of reluctance on his face, he knew that Qianglong couldn't overwhelm the local snake. He just got out of the car and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Fatty Luo again.

"Wait a minute, your boss is about to celebrate his fiftieth birthday. You broke the rules, but we will not forget the etiquette. You can take any one of these items, and it will be your boss's birthday gift at that time."

I saw Fatty Luo open the bag just now, and there were only a few small pieces of antiques inside. At a glance, I knew it was the objects dug out by Liu Hao from the tomb of the Western Han Dynasty that was flooded.

I have been watching Liu Hao's gaze. He is staring at a golden figurine kneeling and holding a lamp. Although it is not big, it is finely crafted and it is a treasure at first glance. Seeing that Liu Hao has stretched out his hand, I am somewhat disappointed. I thought I could find it in the Western Han Dynasty. People in ancient tombs can be regarded as connoisseurs with eyes, but only after looking at the objects selected by Liu Hao did I realize that I really overestimated him.

I suddenly rushed ahead of Liu Hao and picked up a palm-sized bronze beast. Fatty Luo heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that I didn't choose the kneeling golden figurine. It was still in mid-air, and it took a long time for Fatty Luo to take people away before he realized it, staring at me and yelling.

"You don't know what to take blindly. How can I explain this broken thing to the boss when I take it back?"

I don't know how to explain it to Liu Hao. Seeing his expression, I don't understand the value of this bronze beast, so I stuffed it into his hand and said.

"This thing is priceless, a hundred times more valuable than that kneeling gold figurine holding a lamp."

"It's worth a lot of money just for this piece of scrap metal?" Liu Hao didn't even frown with the knife resting on his neck, but this time he squatted on the ground like an angry child, at a loss for what to do. "What should I explain when I go back?"

No matter what Liu Hao said, he saved my life. I felt very sorry to see him in a state of desperation, so I thought about it.

"Either...or I will help you go back and explain."

Liu Hao's eyes lit up, he stared at me for a long time, and suddenly smiled meaningfully.

"Success! I'll take you to see the boss."
