Chapter 439 The Legend of the Fountain of Youth (Large Chapter)
He Ao glanced at the middle-aged man and raised his hand to signal to wait.
Then he walked into the back room and woke up Ai Ni from her sleep.
Aini looked at her father's face and was a little confused at first. She originally wanted to be coquettish and stay in bed for a while, but when she saw the tents around her, she gradually remembered what happened yesterday.
Then she jumped up from the bed with a start.
The place was different, and she could no longer stay in bed peacefully.
There were no toiletries here. The little girl simply wiped her face, tied her messy and blown-out hair into a ponytail, and followed He Ao out.
The middle-aged man has been waiting quietly outside.
He also knew that He Ao did not completely trust them, which was a normal thing in the wilderness. If He Ao was not vigilant at all, he would instead doubt whether He Ao was a liar.
Then He Ao followed him all the way to the depths of the camp. When they passed by, the surrounding wilderness wanderers looked at them curiously.
The houses that these wilderness wanderers live in are all similar, basically wooden houses with the same shape.
However, there is one wooden house that is quite special. It is located in the center of the entire camp. It covers an area equivalent to five or six small wooden houses. It is roughly round in shape. The outermost wood has been painted with some simple white paint, which makes it look a bit...
Magnificent and solemn, it is the most attractive building in the entire camp.
However, the middle-aged man did not bring He Ao into this wooden house. Instead, he brought He Ao to the innermost part of the camp, in front of a simple wooden house leaning against the cliff.
The door of the wooden house was ajar, as if waiting for guests.
The middle-aged man did not open the door, but stood at the door and made an inviting gesture to He Ao.
He Ao glanced at the ajar door in front of him. Through the faint crack in the door, he could see that the light inside the door was relatively dim.
He gently stretched out his hand, pressed it on the wooden door, and pushed the door open.
The decoration in the wooden house is very simple, with a few small wooden chairs and a simple long wooden table. Behind the wooden table sits an old man with half-white beard and hair and a face full of wrinkles.
The old man half-closed his eyes and put his hands on his legs, seeming to have fallen into a deep sleep.
The middle-aged man seemed to be used to this situation. He raised his hand to signal He Ao to come in. Then he stood at the door, turned around and looked outside.
Aini looked around with some confusion, but she didn't make a sound and just stood quietly behind He Ao.
He Ao raised his legs, crossed the door, and walked into the wooden house.
Aini also followed him in.
squeak——
The middle-aged man behind reached out and closed the wooden door.
The old man sitting at the end slowly opened his eyes.
"Hello, guest from afar, please take a seat."
His voice was very old, as if he was about to die, and his speaking speed was also very slow, with the characteristic twilight atmosphere of an old man.
"Hello."
He Ao nodded and sat on the chair.
Aini sat behind him.
"I heard your story, guest. It's really amazing, but I really can't think of anything here that could attract you."
The old man spoke very slowly, but enunciated every word clearly.
In fact, when you say this sentence, it has the meaning of chasing away guests.
For the Wilderness Wanderer family, admitting unknown people is a very dangerous thing.
The Andavi family was extremely benevolent in allowing He Ao to rest for a night. Those who know the rules should prepare to leave at this time.
Of course, they don't have to leave immediately. Most of the powerful people who arrive unexpectedly can choose to leave descendants in the family. This is also one of the ways for the Wilderness Wanderer family to absorb excellent foreign genes.
However, He Ao didn't really come here just to rest for a night. He raised his head, looked at the old man, and asked slowly, "I heard that the Andavi family guards a legend about the Fountain of Youth."
"That's just a simple legend," the old man said slowly. "Many wilderness wanderers in this wilderness know it. If the guest wants to hear it, I can tell it to you."
"Appreciate further details."
He Ao straightened up and pretended to listen attentively.
"Legend has it that a long time ago, before a city was built in this wilderness, a huge earthquake occurred. The earthquake opened a crack, and milky white liquid spewed out from the crack, forming
A spring of water."
The old man slowly narrated, "At first, people around didn't know what these springs were. At that time, people thought it was blood flowing from the earth, and because of its pure white shape, they thought it was related to the sky, so they thought it was
the blood of sky and earth,
"This spring has been attracting living things around it since its birth. People living around the spring have a particularly long life span, so people began to believe that it has the ability to make people immortal. The reputation of the Fountain of Youth is
Gradually word spread, and this became the legend of the Fountain of Youth.”
“Then can this fountain of youth really lead to immortality?”
He Ao asked softly.
The old man raised his wrinkled eyelids, glanced at He Ao, and then said slowly, "Yes."
"Um?"
He Ao stared at him.
He heard a certain certainty in the old man's tone.
"In the legend passed down from generation to generation, drinking from the Fountain of Youth can make people immortal," the old man said slowly, "It's just immortality, not necessarily humans."
"It doesn't have to be a human being?"
"This is our legend. I don't know how to explain this sentence."
The old man said slowly, "If the guests like our family, they can hang out in the camp for a while."
After that, he closed his eyes again and stopped talking.
squeak——
The wooden door was pushed open again, and a middle-aged man stood at the door, staring at He Ao and Aini who were sitting inside, "Mr. Pate, may I take you around the stockade?"
This wooden house is not soundproof, and the middle-aged people outside should have heard their conversation clearly.
"good."
He Ao glanced at the old man and stood up without delay.
He had a hunch that this old man must know more about the Fountain of Youth. Now that the other party didn't tell him, it was just that he didn't have anything to impress him.
If you want to know what can impress the other person, you must first understand the other person's needs.
The middle-aged man was a little surprised to see him being so cooperative, but he still took He Ao from the wooden house and started to visit.
He Ao walked quietly beside the middle-aged man and listened to his introduction.
This middle-aged man should be a D-class transcendent. The Andavi family can safely let He Ao in, probably because they feel confident that they can control He Ao.
After all, judging from the young man's description, He Ao was just a sharpshooter.
A sharpshooter without a powerful sniper rifle is powerless when facing extraordinary beings at close range.
After the young man was taken away, he should have been interrogated by One Night Love, and he most likely told everything he could.
However, judging from the self-confidence of the middle-aged people, there should be other hiding methods in this camp. Even if He Ao hides his strength, they can deal with it confidently.
He Ao followed the middle-aged man's steps and walked forward.
This camp is not big, but the sparrow has all the internal organs even though it is small.
The Andavi family has formed a relatively clear division of labor, with professional hunters, professional butchers, and professional bakers.
The entire family does not just rely on manual operation. He Ao saw many assembly line machines produced in the fortress city.
The Andavi family dismantled the automated machinery on these large assembly lines, retaining only the portable parts, and then replaced those conveyor belts and machinery with manpower, successfully maintaining the normal operation of some basic factories such as slaughterhouses and garment factories.
Automation is transformed into semi-automation, but the ability to resist risks is increased.
The difficulty here lies in how to train a group of skilled workers who can skillfully operate machinery.
Ronald's camp had a similar factory in the past, but they tried their best to ensure an automated process and moved the entire production line out of the city.
Because it is difficult for the wilderness wanderer camp to gather a large number of skilled workers with basic knowledge, and let the wilderness wanderers control the machinery, it is better to let them fight against the black bears.
If you want to have quality workers, you must have quality education.
There must be an established school in this camp.
Sure enough, after walking a few steps, He Aojian saw the class scene.
The teacher is teaching students in a huge tent. Many of these large tents are put together to form a "school". Children of different ages sit in different tents.
This is already a systematic education.
This camp looks like a small city.
As He Ao walked through the school, some young and beautiful girls aged sixteen or seventeen were released by their teachers and followed He Ao.
Aini instantly became alert and stood in front of her father, looking at the little girls warily.
Her intuition told her that these girls who were about the same age as her wanted to be her mother.
He Ao smiled, rubbed the little girl's head, and said with a smile, "It's okay, don't worry."
Aini pouted, but did not move away.
He Ao smiled and turned around to leave the school and continue moving forward.
After the factories and schools, there is the residential area. The residential area is not just for living. There are many young women operating small machines at home to produce fabrics or mechanical parts.
When He Ao passed through these areas, some slim women with plump breasts and round hips would look up at him from time to time.
His gaze is like water and his pupils are as deep as an abyss.
These women have obviously given birth to children, their eyes are full of eyes, and their whole bodies exude a moist color.
Among wilderness wanderers, women who have given birth are in high demand because it means they are less likely to have difficulty giving birth and have greater fertility.
These should be the girls at the bottom of this tribe
···
You shouldn't call her a girl,
According to the habits of wilderness wanderers, these should be widows whose husbands died unexpectedly...
He Ao was silent for a moment and looked away.
They said they were taking him around, but they were actually letting him pick and choose to see if there was anything he liked that could leave his genes.
He Ao lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
At this moment, Aini, who was standing behind He Ao, felt that her father's heart seemed to be moved.
She sighed. If her father wanted to renew their relationship, she couldn't stop him, so she simply moved her eyes elsewhere and pretended not to see him.
At this time, He Ao raised his head and looked at the middle-aged man, "Is this the only place in the camp?"
Then he pointed to the white wooden house in the center of the camp and asked softly, "Can I visit that place?"
After seeing him pointing to the wooden house, the middle-aged man's face changed slightly.
"Hold on."
Then he picked up the walkie-talkie and walked to the other side.
After a while, he came back and whispered to He Ao, "The patriarch said you can go in and visit, but I have to ask you to keep quiet."
"OK."
He Ao nodded.
Then he and the middle-aged man walked toward the building while talking.
On the contrary, Aini, who was standing behind, was stunned. She glanced at He Ao's back and then at the pretty widows over there.
By the way, dad, do you really want to stop thinking about it? There are several sisters who have particularly good figures when you look at them...
The little girl didn't know whether she was happy or disappointed. She sighed and followed He Ao's pace.
At this time, He Ao was already chatting with the middle-aged man.
"Is that building a temple?"
"No, it's a hospital."
"Hospital?"
He Ao was stunned.
In his memory, wilderness wanderers rarely had a relationship with hospitals. Most families of wilderness wanderers had a clinic, or a doctor or pharmacist who was very powerful.
And a hospital cannot be supported by just one or two doctors.
"Yes."
The middle-aged man nodded slightly. After receiving the instruction to allow He Ao to enter the hospital, he obviously respected He Ao a lot. "The hospital is the most solemn place in our family. Only medical staff, patients and people with distinguished status can enter.
Please."
He Ao walked to the white house and took a look at the house and the surrounding buildings.
There are steps in front of the white house, and the entire house is built with a stone foundation, making this building taller than the surrounding buildings.
This 'hospital' is more like some kind of temple than a hospital.
The door of the hospital was open, so He Ao stepped on the stairs and walked directly in.
This hospital is a multi-story building. There is a floor above He Ao's head, and it seems that there are several floors above it.
"The hospital has three floors in total,"
The middle-aged man explained,
"The first floor is a general outpatient clinic. We usually see a doctor or bandage and treat some relatively simple injuries, which is on the first floor.
"The second floor is the hospitalization area, where some seriously injured or seriously ill clan members are placed and under the care of dedicated personnel.
"The third floor is the research area, where the hospital's doctors and pharmacists study diseases and new drugs."
Aini took one look at this building and sighed from the bottom of her heart, "It's so high-end."
If this kind of structure appeared in a hospital in the city, it would be a normal thing and she wouldn't be surprised.
But in this wilderness, this camp has built a hospital structure that looks quite complete, which is very surprising.
At this moment, many ordinary people are seeing doctors on the first floor.
The outpatient clinic on the first floor is divided into many small cubicles, and in each cubicle there are young doctors wearing white clothes.
These young doctors were all ordinary people. He Ao took one look at them and went up to the second floor with the middle-aged people.
There are many areas separated on the second floor, with vaguely placed hospital beds, and a doctor who looks to be in his fifties or sixties is doing rounds.
He Ao glanced at the old doctor and paused.
This old doctor's aura is not weak.
Then he used his spiritual consciousness to observe the energy flow in the old doctor's body.
A faint white energy is flowing in the old doctor's body.
Extraordinary!
I’ve been so busy these two days. I’ll write out the outline tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and then I’ll update it!
