Chapter 285 Great Medicine
"Thirteen, Xiaolin, what are your thoughts on the matter of extending life?"
Third Master pondered for a moment, then instead of mentioning Lin Dabiao, asked about this.
"To prolong life?"
I was a little surprised and said, "Third Master, you know Gambler Lü's situation best. There's no foolproof method in this world. So-called life extension is just one life for another!"
"It's not that I want to prolong my life, I'm not at that point yet!" Third Master waved his hand when he saw that I had misunderstood.
"Third Master, that's not what the madman meant. He's just seen too much of the filth of those rich people in Hong Kong, and he's a bit overreacted!" Fatty Lin explained for me.
"I know, I didn't mean to blame Thirteen!"
Third Master waved his hand magnanimously and said, "What I mean is, is there a technique that can nurture a person like ginseng, so that when needed..."
Third Master didn't elaborate, but we all understood what he meant.
"Third Master, doesn't Li Yunfei know about this?"
Fatty Lin didn't answer, but instead asked a question in return.
"He wasn't quite sure, which is why I had to ask you!" Third Master said.
"Third Master, this kind of magic does exist, but very few people have mastered it!" Fatty Lin said.
"So, it really exists, right?" Third Master's eyes lit up.
"Yes!" Fatty Lin nodded.
"Can you tell me?" Third Master asked.
"Third Master, what you're talking about is called 'human-shaped medicine' in our line of work!" Fatty Lin said.
"A human-shaped medicine?" Third Master murmured.
"right!"
Fatty Lin thought for a moment and said, "This method of prolonging life is not fundamentally different from Gambler Lü's, and is even more than 80% similar. It's just that Gambler Lü's method is more direct and cruel, while this one is more gentle!"
When Fatty Lin mentioned the word "gentle," he thought for a while before saying it.
"How do you mean by gentle?" Third Master asked.
"The humanoid elixir won't kill you, but it will drastically reduce your lifespan!" Fatty Lin said.
After saying that, he thought for a moment, his expression changed, and he said, "Some inhumane people, if they use strong drugs like harvesting leeks, might end up in an even worse situation!"
"Harvesting韭菜 (a metaphor for exploiting others)?"
Third Master muttered to himself for a moment, then realized what he meant and said, "You mean, repeatedly drain that person's lifespan?"
"That's right!"
Fatty Lin nodded and said, "Third Master, these humanoid medicinal herbs are like vegetables; they need regular fertilization and medicine. As far as I know, a certain lineage has a special formula for cultivating these herbs and replenishing their yang energy!"
"I see!" Third Master said, frowning.
"Third Master, why did you suddenly ask this? Is it related to Lin Dabiao?" Fatty Lin asked.
"related!"
Third Master glanced at the two of us and said, "I suspect Lin Dabiao is a human-shaped drug!"
"Is he a human-shaped medicine?"
Fatty Lin was startled and asked, "Whose?"
Third Master didn't answer, but frowned and said, "The Ling brothers from Hedong, he has a very good relationship with those two!"
"Those two brothers, one in the branch office and one in the head office?" Fatty Lin asked.
"Those are the two!" Third Master nodded.
"Third Master, they're not that old, are they?" I said.
"Perhaps it's a precautionary measure!" Third Master murmured.
This time, Third Master didn't finish his sentence again, but I understand what he meant. Perhaps the Ling brothers were preparing this for someone else as well.
"Thirteen, Kobayashi, I need to confirm whether he really is a powerful medicine!"
After a long while, Third Master suddenly looked up at us and said.
"Third Master..."
Fatty Lin was in a bit of a dilemma.
It's not just him who's in a difficult position; I'm in a difficult position too.
Who doesn't know whose henchmen the Ling brothers are?
If they're doing this for themselves, that's fine. But what if they're preparing it for someone else? If we two brothers expose this, will we even have a chance to survive?
"Xiao Lin, Thirteen, this is the last time I'm begging you!" Third Master said in a deep voice.
Fatty Lin and I exchanged a glance, both seeing the bitterness in each other's eyes.
Today's meal is not a peaceful meal at all, but a trap!
Since Third Master has said so, we have no choice but to agree, whether we like it or not.
From the moment Third Uncle started talking to us about the great medicine, we had no way out.
If we don't agree, Third Master has a million ways to shift the blame onto us two brothers.
"good!"
After a moment, Fatty Lin nodded in a hoarse voice.
"Xiao Lin, Thirteen, help me verify this information. I won't ask anything of you again!" Third Master's eyes lit up as he stood up and said.
"Third Master, without you, my brother and I wouldn't have been able to build such a big business!" Fatty Lin said politely.
"I'll send you Lin Dabiao's information in a bit!" Third Master said impatiently.
"good!"
Fatty Lin nodded and said, "Third Master, we've had a long day, so we'll head back now!"
"well!"
Third Master nodded repeatedly and came over to see us off.
"Honey, are you two done talking?"
As we came out of the study and went downstairs, Aunt Xiao saw us and asked with a smile.
"Um!"
Third Master nodded and said, "Jinyu, see Thirteen and the others off!"
"Why!"
Aunt Xiao didn't understand what had happened, and nodded hastily.
As we left the villa, Aunt Xiao seemed a little reluctant to part with us, saying, "Thirteen, the New Year is just a few days away. Why don't you stay and celebrate it in the capital?"
"Sister Yu, let's talk about it later. We have no choice in the matter right now!" Fatty Lin sighed.
"I understand, I understand!"
Aunt Xiao looked completely at ease, as if she knew everything. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry at her.
On the way back to the shop, none of the three of us spoke.
Back at the shop, on the second floor, Long Nier said, "Brother, Fatty, do you think Boss Shui knows that Third Master wanted to tell us this?"
"have no idea!"
Lin the Fat and I replied almost simultaneously.
"Third Master wouldn't say this to Boss Shui!" I said.
"This whole thing must have been caused by that bastard Li Yunfei!" Fatty Lin cursed.
"I think so too. Third Master said he wasn't sure. Uncertain my ass! This is a huge pitfall. He doesn't dare to do it, so he's making us do it!" I chimed in with a curse.
"Maybe. This was decided after Third Master and Li Yunfei discussed it. Third Master knows very well that we have developed ulterior motives and it will be difficult for us to be of use to him anymore, so he is taking this opportunity to make use of us!" Fatty Lin said.
"Actually, this is good too. We can take this opportunity to completely break away from Third Master!" Long Nier said.
"This is the only good news!"
Fatty Lin sighed.
Just then, my phone rang. I glanced at it and said, "Third Master sent over Lin Dabiao's information!"
Fatty Lin took the phone, glanced at it, and said, "Wow, pretty comprehensive. But this stuff's pretty useless. We'll know if it's a powerful drug once we meet him!"
"Will we know once we meet?" I asked doubtfully.
"Um!"
Fatty Lin nodded and said, "People who are raised like medicinal herbs need to take a special prescription, and their body smells very unique!"
