The old man on the phone said: "Back at the clinic?"
Fang Yi said: "Where else would I go?"
The old man was silent for a mont, then said: "It’s fine if you’re back. I left sothing at the clinic that might be useful for you."
"Okay."
Following the instructions from the old man on the phone, Fang Yi got off the bed, went to the main hall of the clinic, switched on the light, and according to the old man’s instructions, he pushed the dicine cabinet against the wall with one hand.
"There’s a hidden compartnt on the wall, look for it."
"Alright!"
Fang Yi imdiately began searching. For him, this kind of task was incredibly simple. In less than a minute, Fang Yi found it. He knocked on it, then used his fingers like knives to grip a brick and pulled it out.
Just like in a martial arts drama, Fang Yi saw a box inside and pulled it out.
But the box was not easy to open.
Because the lock of the box was arranged in the Eight Diagram style, like a millstone, it required finding the life gate or death gate. However, this was set by the old man, and opening it wasn’t so simple.
"Kid, try to open the Eight Diagram Lock on it," ca the old man’s voice from the phone.
"Okay."
Fang Yi did not refuse. In the matter of playing with the Eight Diagram Lock, Fang Yi always lost more than he won. It wasn’t that Fang Yi was too stupid; it was that the old man was an absolute cunning fox of sorts, no one could beat him.
Fang Yi began to try opening the Eight Diagram Lock, and after about ten minutes, he finally opened the lock on the box.
"Not bad, it only took ten minutes, faster than your second senior brother and third senior sister."
"Oh... wait!" Fang Yi furrowed his brow sharply: "Old man, say that again, what second senior brother, third senior sister, explain it to ! How co I’ve never heard you ntion them?"
Second senior brother, third senior sister?
He had never heard the old man talk about them.
The old man on the phone sounded a bit impatient: "You’ll find out soon enough, and soone will naturally tell you then... Alright, don’t dawdle, open the box and see what’s inside. I can’t even rember."
Since the old man didn’t want to talk, asking more was useless. Fang Yi knew the old man’s temperant deeply, so he didn’t ask further and opened the box.
The box opened.
Fang Yi focused his gaze.
Inside the box were three small porcelain bottles, a notebook from the 1980s, and so random things Fang Yi couldn’t recognize.
The old man’s voice sounded again on the phone: "One of those porcelain bottles contains the Blood Qi Pill, brewed by . Take one when you’re free."
"Blood Qi Pill?!" Fang Yi’s face finally showed surprise.
That’s definitely good stuff!
For those who are physically weak, taking a Blood Qi Pill can imdiately cure the ailnt. The herbal materials are expensive, and the old man brewed it himself; it’s definitely good stuff.
Fang Yi temporarily suppressed his surprise and asked: "What’s in the other two bottles?"
The old man said: "One bottle contains Snow Skin Ointnt, specially for won. A wealthy lady begged to make it, but unfortunately, after I finished, she disappeared. It’s quite a pity."
Too bad you didn’t get her into bed!
"And the other bottle?"
"You’ll know when you sll it."
Fang Yi responded with an "Oh" and picked up the old notebook, flipping through it to find a series of nas, each marked with an amount of money.
Ledger?
As if knowing what Fang Yi was doing, the old man on the phone said: "That notebook lists people who owe money. If you’re really short on cash, go to those people for it. Anyone who dares not repay, I’ve written down. When I co back, I’ll settle each and every one, not only demanding the principal but also an extra fifty percent interest, won’t let them off easy!"
Fang Yi smirked, old man, that’s even harsher than loan sharks.
