Chapter 178: : Strong

The breath in the ward was silent. ［Eight Chinese
"You asked me."
The voice was full of doubts and amusement, and was a bit bitter. The old man reached out his dead hand and shook his head with some effort.
"I've been thinking about it for days, why?"
Niu Ben hesitated, walked over and pressed the shaker button, waited for the bed to rise to a proper angle, walked over to help the old man lean on his upper body, and finally took a pillow from the side and placed it on his waist. A series of moves were skilled and natural. Niuben never asked the old man's wishes, and seemed to know what he thought, including the angle of the bed head, the position of the pillow, etc., all just right.
The well-known federal hero served a sweeping old man wholeheartedly, and it was too false to explain it with kindness. If anyone saw this scene, he would be surprised. The old man calmly enjoyed Niuben's service. There was no cramping or shame on his face, but some unwillingness and pity. It feels like the baby is being sold off or he is the charity.
When these things were done, the old man's body felt more comfortable, and he signaled the cow to fetch a cup of water, and rinsed his mouth carefully. Then he called with satisfaction.
"Okay. You sit, too."
Niu Ben made a noise and brought a chair to sit beside the bed. After waiting for a while, he said, "I know a bit late."
"Oh?" The old man froze for a moment, thinking about it before he realized what he meant, and a proud look appeared on his face: "Even now, it's not difficult for me to kill you."
Niu Ben did not respond to this sentence, understanding it as a way for the elderly to maintain their self-esteem. Belief and unbelief, obedience and disobedience were all in their hearts.
The old man didn't delve into this, but had other doubts and asked inquisitively: "How can you be sure it's me?"
Niu Ben replied, "My life is simple, I have a small circle, and I have less access to diet. Then, in the past thirty years, doctors have worked very simple and somewhat regular. After cross-contrast, you are the only candidate."
"How it works ... This is a good statement." The old man smiled at him first, and then sneered at the back: "What a simple method? What are the rules?"
Those who specialize in it must be proud. When it comes to doctors, people are scared of their mystery and no trace, and because doctors are inherited, no one knows what a contemporary doctor looks like, so it is difficult to hunt. A problem that can't be solved by many experts, today is described by a hairy kid as simple and regular, and the old man is very unhappy.
On this issue, Niu Ben thought about it and concluded it, saying with certainty: "Doctors prefer medication, so it is simple."
It turned out to be so simple. The old man had no words to refute and grunted. "Without medicine, do you learn those rough goods with a knife?"
Niu Ben went on to say: "Doctors have many indirect shots and don't like contacting the target in person."
The old man Weiwei said, "So why do you think of me?"
Niu Ben replied: "When I knew this, the doctor had been taking orders for a long time. If he poisoned the food I bought, he should have a lot of opportunities based on his accomplishments. In the absence of a better method, Based on further assumptions, we can only assume that the doctor is at hand and for some reason did not take the shot, but was convinced that he could take the shot at any time, so he did not take the shot. "
These words are somewhat lingering, and the reason is still clear. Niu Ben went on to say: "Later, I now have doctors taking drugs, but they have not directly poisoned them. In fact, the examples of poisoning are probably misinformation. Or someone is acting as an impostor. The real situation should be this: this generation of doctors has never used poison to kill people. "
After hearing this, the old man fell silent, and asked in a low voice, "What else?"
Niu Ben shook his head and said sincerely: "I know the medicine myself, and I believe few people. It is not easy for a doctor to kill me if he insists on the way he used to be. Compared to the people around me, he is older and has access to my diet. Let me put my mind down ... "
The foreigner turned his head to look at him, his eyes were very complicated.
"only me?"
"There are four, two of which can never be killers, and one can never be good at medicine."
The old man did not question the basis of the judgment, and asked after a moment of silence: "Is there anything else?"
Niu Ben said frankly: "I have a very good friend to help me think about this. Specific to you, you have a ill, and I have a prescription, although it is not expected, I have to try it. In addition, he reminded me a word. "
"What is it?"
"Long illness has become a doctor."
"... Sick for so long, you shouldn't know anything about drugs."
The old man quickly realized the meaning, his expression was slightly astringent and slightly bitter. "Your friend is really great. Who is he? That flying brother?"
"No."
"So many experts in the world, plus things that intelligent light brain can't do, I don't think he has that ability." The old man laughed, his dry lips were raised, and he thought of interesting things. "Thinking about that year, I almost wanted to Go get rid of him, if you do, you won't have him now. "
No matter how old the experienced person is, he would never think that the child who often followed Ye Fei and Niuben was his own failure. His words made Niuben startled with a cold sweat, thinking that if he did, he would not only reduce one friend, but the outcome of the battle in the Snowfield would have to be changed.
"When did this happen? Why didn't you ... take the order?"
"It's been more than ten years since the world. The list was picked up, but I regret it." The old man sighed long, showing a look of remembrance: "The flying brother at that time was very skinny and very interesting, plus I was sick and feeling at that time Some changes ... Hey, people get confused when they get old, who knows what they thought. "
This sentence seems to be applicable now, Niuben is grateful for himself, but also unavoidable. At the same time, it is inevitable to be confused. Ye Fei was notorious ten years ago. The young lady in Kyoto changed her color, but in another more terrifying In the eyes of people, Ye Fei, who is the most jerk, even realizes self-rescue without knowing it. It really makes people wonder what to say.
In addition to these, Niu Ben thought of something else, hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't help asking, "Isn't it good to take an order, isn't it good?"

"It's more than bad, it's awful." The old man was very touched by this, and said angrily: "If it wasn't for the bad rules, how would I get the mountain, and now why would you go out of the mountain because of you ... the result And messed up. "
Come out for me? Niuben frowned slightly. "But the doctor has done it recently."
"What a problem," said the old man, looking at him mildly. "Don't you come to a conclusion without investigating my whereabouts?"
"Time is tight, and no further investigation has been carried out." Niu Ben's thoughts flashed in his mind, his expression gradually dignified: "You have already accepted the apprentice? Two doctors?"
The old man turned his head and said lightly, "The inheritance has never ceased, and I am no exception. But you can rest assured that the doctor is like a person for a hundred years. Since he will not let go, he will not repeat his shot."
Niuben shook his head seriously and said, "It doesn't matter. Don't worry, I will guard him, find him, and kill him."
"Uh?" The old man's cloudy eyes shot out, and asked, "Why is this?"
Niu Ben replied: "You have broken the rules, it is difficult to guarantee that your disciple will not do the same thing; if he is the same as your skill, he will threaten me far more than other killers. In addition, since the doctor will not repeat the shot It shows that he knows you well and the things of his predecessors. I want to find the source through him and track down those who want to kill me. "
The old man thought for a while and said calmly: "This is a good reason. But I'm curious. If you tell me this, aren't you afraid I will change my mind and kill you?"
Niu Ben calmly said: "You said just now that even now, you want to kill me."
The old man raised an eyebrow and said, "So what?"
Niu Ben said seriously: "From the moment I start guarding you, you have no chance."
"Uh?" The old man's eyes flickered slightly, and his fingers flicked twice.
"Useless." Niu Ben looked at him and said, "Except when I entered the door, I never breathed again."
"..." The old man couldn't help but widen his eyes and couldn't believe what he heard.
Niu Ben continued: "If needed, I can hold my breath for more than 30 minutes. Before I arrived here, I applied a layer of wax oil to my body, except for my hands."
Saying Niuben reached out to the old man and said, "You can try it, poison it through my hands."
Under the dim light, the old man's eyes fell on Niuben's hand, and then there was a layer of light flashing on it, and he could not be noticed without being reminded. Even if he stared seriously, it was still difficult to distinguish the cause.
Perhaps it was the killer's instinct. The old man felt a different kind of breath from that layer of light, pure as a clear spring, but the internal force was like the surging waves, containing the power and vitality of imagination.
For a long time, the old man looked up.
"what is this?"
"It's something you don't understand."
This is nonsense, but then, Niu Ben shakes his wrist gently, draws circles with his fingers, and an inexplicable force is released. The old man now seemed to be stuck in the mud with his hands, no matter how difficult it was to move, his mouth and nose seemed to be covered by something and could not touch a trace of air.
The showed that the old man was powerless to resist, and could only use his eyes to signal that he understood the situation. At the same time, he also noticed that Niuben was struggling to do this, and was not able to move easily.
"If it was before the war, I could do better. After some time, I can go beyond my hands."
Explaining casually, Niu Ben converged and sat back and said sincerely, "Show you this, I hope we can be open and honest."
The long-lost air returned to the body. Although the old man was not afraid of death, he still couldn't help breathing, and said in a hard voice, "You want to know the person who placed the order, why not ask me directly?"
Niu Ben looked at him and asked, "Will you say that?"
The old man said, "You can try."
Niu Ben said: "It is being tried."
"Oh?" The old man was puzzled.
Niu Ben said: "You have the opportunity to kill me but did not take any action. For whatever reason, this relationship should be repaid. In addition, you are about to die. Now you still care, only disciples and inheritance."
The old man came to his senses and said slightly, "It turns out that the way you are still human is to threaten me."
Niu Ben calmly said: "I think it is exchange."
The old man raised an eyebrow and said, "What's the exchange? Don't say it's a promise not to kill my disciples? You don't know who he is and where he is."
Niu Ben calmly said: "I have the power of the country to use, I have powerful friends you can't imagine, and elders who are stronger than me as a backup. And I believe that your disciples will not be as hot and difficult as you. I have to admit that I have this opportunity and strength. "
The old man was silent.
Throughout his life, he has seen too many strong and unusual characters, but none of them can be compared with what he sees today. Especially just now, after experiencing the feeling of being blocked by the copper wall and iron wall, the strong confidence that has been accumulated for a long time has shaken, and it is difficult to be as firm as before.
While thinking, Niu Ben continued to say, "This is only part of what I use to exchange."
"Oh?" The thought had not yet been relieved from the shock, and the old man looked slightly faint. "What else?"
Niu Bensi said: "Maybe ... I mean maybe, there is another way to keep you alive."
Hearing this sentence, the old man's already dim eyes suddenly shot out of the faint, as if a lighted lamp.
"what way?"
In the sight, Niuben's expression was slightly hesitant, and he reopened after a moment of groaning, and said two words gently.
