After Wearing the Book, I Became the Villain’s Contract Beast

   Chapter 899 Skinny old man

  Everyone watched Dao Yuansi's figure being drowned by the shadows in the cave, waiting for the arrival of the strong light, even Yan Feng and others sweated.

  Although I knew that it was impossible for the young lady to let him in regardless of the danger of a small knife, she was still worried.

The bright light that    was waiting for did not appear, and soon, the figure of Dao Yuansi appeared again.

   unscathed.

   There was a thin old man on his shoulders.

  Yan Feng and others walked over to help lift the old man and lay it flat on the ground.

   Zhuge Ye was in charge of the inspection, and the more he inspected, the more frightened he became.

   "He was bled all year round and ingested the essence, which caused all the organs in his body to dry up. Now there is only one breath left. Not to mention that he cannot be saved, even if he is rescued..."

  The dying old man suddenly moved his fingers and grabbed one of Zhuge Ye's fingers.

   As if he had exhausted all his strength, his whole body trembled with excitement and refused to let go.

  Yan Feng saw this and wanted to reach out to help break the old man's hand apart.

   At the same time, the old man trembled and tried his best to open his eyes, his eyes were cloudy and his vision was blurred, but he still accurately found Zhuge Ye's position.

   The chapped lips moved slightly, making a hoarse and irrefutable voice.

   "...with...its..."

   "Yan Feng, don't move!"

   Zhuge Ye stopped Yan Feng, lowered his head, and brought his ear to the old man's lips.

   "What did you just say? Say it again."

   After a long while, the old man gathered up his strength again, but this time, it was much clearer.

   "...Black...Ball..."

  Zhuge Ye's pupils shrank, he held the old man's hand instead, and looked at him with red eyes.

   Few of the gray hairs were left, the folds and various scars on the face were piled up, and the fundus of the eyes was cloudy, making it impossible to identify his face at all.

   Even the voice is hoarse and indistinguishable.

   But this 'black ball' was his nickname when he was young, and only one person knew it.

   "Third Senior Brother?"

   Zhuge Ye stroked Hua Qi's face with his other hand, and tears welled up at once.

   "Third Senior Brother, is that you, Third Senior Brother?"

   Tears flowed from the corners of Hua Qi's eyes.

   "I...Finally...Wait until you...come back...Little...Junior Brother..."

   Not far away, Ying Heng burst into tears with the same excitement. He just looked at Hua Qi like this, wanting to pass, but he couldn't control his feet, so he could only watch anxiously.

   Zhuge Ye helped Hua Qi up, "Yan Feng Yan Yun, help me support my third senior brother."

   Yan Feng and Yan Yun supported Hua Qi and sat cross-legged, while Zhuge Ye came behind him, put his palms on his back, and injected spiritual power.

   "Third Senior Brother, you will be fine."

  Spiritual power poured into Hua Qi's body continuously, but it seemed like he had entered a bottomless pit, and he could not get any response or function.

   "...It's useless, little brother..."

   Zhuge Ye still insisted stubbornly, and some fragments of his childhood kept flashing in his mind.

  Everyone said that he was raised by the senior and second seniors, and was favored by the fourth senior. Even the people in the Valley of Divine Physicians thought that he had the closest relationship with the second and fourth seniors.

   But in fact, every time he made a mistake when he was a child and was punished by his master to face the wall, it was the third senior brother who silently reserved food for him.

   Every time he was injured and was attacked by the medicinal properties of the herbs, he gave him medicine, and it was also the third senior brother who quietly gave him medicine at night.

   In those years when he was out and about, every time he encountered difficulties or dangers, the third senior brother was the first to arrive or send someone to help him.

   Even when Mengzhi successfully left the Valley of Divine Medicine that year, the third senior brother secretly released water, otherwise Mengzhi might have already died in the siege of the other three senior brothers.
