Siheyuan: Sap is the last word

"How do you know?" the old man asked puzzledly.

"Because..." The girl hesitated for a moment, then leaned close to the old man's ear and whispered a few words.

After hearing this, the old man's expression suddenly became strange.

He looked He Yudong up and down, then asked, "Can the system you mentioned still issue tasks?"

He Yudong was stunned. How did this old man know?

Could it be...

"Ding! It is detected that the host has successfully completed the emergency mission: clear up the misunderstanding."

"Quest reward: Randomly selecting skills..."

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the skill: Miraculous Rejuvenation."

"Miraculous healing: superb medical skills, can cure all diseases in the world."

Before He Yudong could react, the old man suddenly grabbed his hand and said excitedly: "Young man, come with me, I have something to ask of you!"

Before He Yudong could react, the old man pulled him and walked out of the woods in a hurry.

He Yudong was left standing there in confusion.

What is all this about?

He Yudong was grabbed by the arm by the old man and ran, stumbling all the way, rushing out of the grove like a gust of wind.

"Uncle, where are you taking me? My bicycle is still at the entrance of the alley!" He Yudong asked breathlessly. The old man looked thin, but he was very strong, like a bull, pulling him all the way, and he suspected that he was going to be dragged to pieces.

The old man turned a deaf ear and kept walking forward. His speed was not like that of an old man. He was even faster than a rabbit.

"Sir, please go slower, I can't breathe..."

Before He Yudong could finish his words, he was stunned by the scene before him.

I saw an antique courtyard house appearing before my eyes, with blue bricks and grey tiles, carved beams and painted buildings. There were two big red lanterns hanging at the door, which looked very festive, as if there was a wedding.

"This...where is this?" He Yudong was stunned, wondering if he had traveled through time.

"Stop talking nonsense and follow me in!" The old man pulled He Yudong into the courtyard without saying anything.

As soon as he entered the yard, He Yudong smelled a strong smell of Chinese medicine, which rushed straight to his forehead and choked him to the point of tears.

"Cough cough cough...Uncle, what do you do?" He Yudong asked, covering his nose.

"I am the owner of this courtyard, you can call me Old Liu." As the old man said this, he pulled He Yudong into a room.

The room was filled with various medicinal herbs, emitting a strong medicinal aroma. A pale girl was lying on the bed, breathing weakly, as if she would die at any time.

"Uncle, this...what is going on?" He Yudong was shocked by the scene.

"My granddaughter has contracted a strange disease, and all the famous doctors are helpless. Since you are a reborn person, you must have a way to save her, right?" Old Liu said, with a gleam in his cloudy eyes, staring at He Yudong closely.

He Yudong suddenly felt his scalp tingling. The look in this old man's eyes looked like he was looking at Tang Monk's flesh!

"Uncle, please don't talk nonsense. I'm just an ordinary person. How can I know any medical skills?" He Yudong waved his hands and wanted to slip away.

"Stop lying to me!" Old Liu grabbed He Yudong's arm. "My granddaughter saw with her own eyes that you used your miraculous medical skills to save a child. You can't fool me!"

He Yudong's heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself, oh no! It seems that he can't wash himself clean even if he jumps into the Yellow River today.

"Uncle, please listen to my explanation..."

"No need to explain, you saved my granddaughter, and I will give you this courtyard house!" Boss Liu waved his hand and interrupted He Yudong.

He Yudong: "......"

Why does he feel like he's been tricked?

"Ding! The host is detected to have triggered a hidden mission: Miraculous Rejuvenation."

"Mission objective: cure Liu's granddaughter's strange disease."

“Mission Reward: Obtain ownership of the courtyard and receive a mysterious reward.”

"Mission failed: The host will randomly lose a skill."

He Yudong: ...

What the hell is this!

He looked at the dying girl on the bed, then looked at Old Liu who had a look of expectation on his face, and was in a dilemma for a moment.

"System, come out here, I promise not to beat you to death!" He Yudong roared in his heart.

System: "Host, come on, I'm rooting for you!"

He Yudong: "......"

He took a deep breath, walked to the bedside, and began to check the girl's condition.

The girl's face was as pale as paper, her lips were purple, her breathing was weak, and her pulse was thready and feeble. Her condition was extremely critical.

He Yudong reached out and touched the girl's forehead; it was burning hot!

"Uncle, your granddaughter has a very high fever, right? How many days has it been like this?"

"He has had a fever for three days and three nights. He has taken many medicines but it hasn't gotten better. The doctor said..." When Mr. Liu said this, his voice choked.

"What did the doctor say?"

"The doctor said that my granddaughter is..." Old Liu paused, as if he couldn't speak, "The doctor said that my granddaughter is possessed by an evil spirit!"

He Yudong: “???”

What era is this? He is still possessed by evil spirits? Could it be that this old man thinks he is a charlatan?

"Ding! The host's emotions are fluctuating greatly. Now we are starting an urgent task: reveal the truth."

"Task requirements: Expose the truth about Liu Lao's granddaughter being possessed by evil spirits within ten minutes."

"Quest reward: gain a random skill."

"Mission failed: The host will randomly lose an attribute."

He Yudong: "......"

He finally realized that this broken system was deliberately making things difficult for him!

He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and began to observe the girl's symptoms carefully.

Suddenly, he noticed a faint red mark on the girl's neck, which was invisible unless you looked carefully.

"Uncle, what's going on with this red mark on your granddaughter's neck?" He Yudong asked, pointing at the girl's neck.

"Ah? This..." Old Liu hesitated, as if he had something to hide.

He Yudong's heart moved, and his intuition told him that this red mark was the key!

"Uncle, tell me the truth, what's going on with this red mark?" He Yudong's voice became serious.

Mr. Liu hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "I... I don't know either. When I found her, she was already like this..."

"When did you find her? What does that mean?" He Yudong asked.

"I..." Mr. Liu took a deep breath, as if he had made a major decision. "When I found her, she...she was tied up in the woods..."

He Yudong's pupils suddenly shrank, and a terrible thought came to his mind!

"You said your granddaughter was kidnapped?"

Old Liu nodded slowly, his eyes reddened, "My poor granddaughter, what on earth has she been through..."

"Ding! Congratulations to the host, you have successfully revealed the truth!"

"Quest reward: Randomly selecting skills..."

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the skill: Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils!"

"Fire eyes and golden pupils: can see through all falsehoods and disguises."

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, followed by a sharp voice:

"Dad, are you there? I heard you brought a wild man home, is that true?"

He Yudong was dragged by the old man all the way, stumbling through the woods, and almost tripped over vines. He ran after him in a panic, and couldn't help but complain in his heart: This old man looks thin, but he is very strong. If you don't know, you would think he wants to kidnap me and sell me!

After finally running out of the woods, He Yudong discovered that the old man had actually brought him to a dilapidated land temple.

"Uncle, why did you bring me here? This temple has been abandoned for many years. You don't want to..." He Yudong looked around vigilantly, afraid that a few burly men would jump out from some corner.

The old man glared at him unhappily, "What are you thinking! Do I look like that kind of person?"

"Not like it, not like it." He Yudong waved his hands quickly, but muttered in his heart: You can't judge a person's heart by his appearance. Nowadays, bad guys won't write words on their faces.

The old man ignored his thoughts and pointed at the land temple and said, "See? This is the land temple. You know the land god, right? He is a god who protects the peace of an area!"

He Yudong rolled his eyes and thought: Of course I know, isn't this nonsense?

"Then do you know why the God of Land is so effective?" the old man asked mysteriously.

He Yudong was so amused by his tone that he asked, "Why?"

"Because the God of Land has a system!" The old man slapped his thigh and said proudly.

"What the hell?" He Yudong suspected that there was something wrong with his ears. "The God of Land... has a system?"

"That's right!" The old man lowered his voice and whispered in his ear, "Let me tell you, when I was young, I once saved a white fox..."

The old man began to talk about his glorious history, how he saved the white fox, and the white fox was the incarnation of the God of Land. In order to repay his kindness, the God of Land gave him a system...

He Yudong was stunned when he heard this. Could it be that this old man is suffering from delusional disorder?

At this moment, the old man suddenly changed the subject and pointed at He Yudong and said, "Boy, do you have a system too?"

He Yudong was shocked. How did this old man know this? Could he really have some relationship with the God of Land?

"Don't be afraid," the old man seemed to see through his thoughts, "I won't hurt you. I asked you to do me a favor."

"What help?" He Yudong asked vigilantly.

"Help me... hehe," the old man rubbed his hands, with a lewd smile on his face, "help me pick up girls!"

He Yudong: “???”

What is this?

He never imagined that the old man went to so much trouble to bring him here just to ask him to help him pick up girls?

"Uncle, are you sure? You're at this age, and you're still thinking about picking up girls?" He Yudong looked at him in amazement.

"What do you mean by this age? I'm only 58 this year, which is the most attractive age for a man!" The old man retorted unhappily, "Besides, love knows no age, do you understand?"

He Yudong: ...

He finally realized that this old man was totally disrespectful and dishonest!
