Chapter 1988 Special Disease
Have you ever seen ice?
This sentence asked, even if Xiao Yi has never seen the world again, this ice should be a very common thing, especially in summer.
"Of course I've seen it before. There's nothing strange about ice, right? In the winter in the north, ice can be seen everywhere."
Xiao Yi replied, and the third elder shook his head. If he only asked such a mentally retarded question, there would be no need to continue talking about the next topic.
Of course that was not what he meant. After Xiao Yi answered, the third elder continued.
"Then have you ever seen a person with ice on his body?"
"The body...is frozen...this seems to only happen in hospital morgues, right?"
Not understanding what the third elder meant, Xiao Yi said casually, his body was frozen, he must be a dead person, how could a living person have his body frozen, it was just a joke.
But then the third elder's look told Xiao Yi that he was not joking, but was telling the truth to Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi also looked at the third elder with a look and asked.
"Who are you? This is what Suzaku is like, right? Is she a dead person? Is this a corpse fraud?"
A messy picture appeared in Xiao Yi's mind. The third elder stopped Xiao Yi's thinking. The more he talked, the more he was getting confused. He simply told Xiao Yi directly.
"Okay, let me tell you straight. It's not what you think, but the child Suzaku will get sick after a period of time. Once she gets sick, the temperature of the air around her will be abnormally cold. , if you put your hand into the water, it will freeze immediately. "
"This... this kind of plot seems to only appear in novels? Or maybe she ate some magical fruit. How could such a fantasy thing happen in real life?"
After Xiao Yi said this himself, he overturned it himself. There was no need to talk about others. This was the case for him.
A person who was originally dead, Xiao Yi survived because of the existence of a jade pendant, and relied on the Xuantian Taoism in it to become what he is now. If there was no jade pendant, Xiao Yi's body would have already rotted.
"I have lived to such an old age, so I can't joke with you here. This is what happened. That girl Zhuque first became ill when she was six years old. If the elder hadn't discovered it in time, she would have died. It’s already frozen.”
"What kind of situation is this? Don't you all know?"
The third elder shook his head. If he had known about it, he would have thought of a solution long ago. It was precisely because of the special situation that none of them could think of a solution, which was why it had been delayed until now.
"This is the first time we have encountered this situation. The onset occurred at the age of six. The second time was at the age of sixteen, the third time at the age of twenty, then there was an interval of two years, and then there was an interval of six months. , now it has been three months. According to this rule, she will still get sick tonight. "
"Why do you know and calculate the time?"
"Because every time this child gets sick, it's always on a full moon night, and today happens to be the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar."
Xiao Yi understood what the third elder said. No matter whether it was true or false, there should be no lie from what the third elder said.
But Xiao Yi had never seen or heard of such a situation. He didn't know what was going on, so Xiao Yi asked the third elder.
"Could it be that you came to me this time with the intention of..."
"I've heard that you, this kid, have some strange skills. I won't ask what they are. I just want you to help look after this child. She has been in pain for the past few times. , each time the attack becomes more and more serious, I'm afraid..."
The third elder has only been Suzaku's apprentice in this life, so no matter what the situation is, he wants to find someone to try and cure Suzaku's strange disease.
Seeing his apprentice being tortured before his eyes, he was also very painful, thinking that Xiao Yi had some extraordinary methods, which might be of some use in this kind of thing.
Xiao Yi touched his nose and then raised his head to look at the third elder. The third elder wanted him to take action, but Xiao Yi had never seen it before and had no confidence.
"Third Elder, you are a little too flattering to me. No matter what, I am just an ordinary person. How can I help with something that you are helpless to do?"
In front of the third elder, Xiao Yi behaved very low-key. This was the apprentice of the third elder. He didn't know what was going on. If something went wrong, Xiao Yi couldn't bear the consequences.
The third elder's old eyes were also very vicious, and he could see what Xiao Yi was hesitating about, so he made it clear to Xiao Yi here to relieve Xiao Yi's worries.
"Don't worry, Xiao Yi, no matter what the outcome is, I can bear it. You can't just watch Suzaku endure such torture here, right?"
This sentence made Xiao Yi unable to answer. If he could really be so cruel, he would not even be qualified to be a human being. Xiao Yi smiled bitterly and said.
"Third Elder, if you want me to give it a try, I can help. You won't say such things to provoke me, as if I really have no humanity at all."
Xiao Yi said helplessly, since it is the third elder here who insists on going to see it himself, it is okay, and there is no need for the third elder to say such words here.
The third elder laughed a few times and knew that Xiao Yi would agree to take action. He put down the teacup with satisfaction and said to Xiao Yi.
"Don't worry, kid, if you can really cure this girl Suzaku, you will definitely benefit from it."
"Are you going to leave me a legacy?"
Xiao Yi joked, the third elder stretched out a hand and patted Xiao Yi's head a few times.
"I'm living well now, and I haven't planned to die yet. Besides, even if I die, all I have on my body are just a few sets of clothes. If you don't mind it, I can give it to you now."
The third elder said that this can be summed up in one sentence, that is, he is a poor old man, and the word inheritance has a somewhat regrettable meaning.
"Then what else can you give me? I don't need clothes. I have plenty of money."
Xiao Yi said, the third elder looked at Xiao Yi here and raised his eyebrows. Xiao Yi thought to himself what the old guy was doing. Could it be that he became interested in him here.
