Chapter 108
"Okay, okay, it's getting late. You have to go to work tomorrow. Go back and rest."
"Don't worry about things at school, or tonight Or should I stay and take care of you? Go back and take a good bath and sleep. You see, you have been haggard these days."
"This is not appropriate."
"Jiayi, believe me, I can do it. ”
"I mean, my parents are already having a hard time sleeping at night because they are not feeling well. If you add in your snoring, it will make them even more uncomfortable."
"Ah, it's because of this ." Fatty Wu nodded awkwardly, "That's true, that's right."
"Okay, I'm used to your snoring, and it's hard to get used to it if you don't hear it for a while, but my parents are not used to it. You are a patient now. Go back quickly. My parents understand what you mean."
"Okay, I'll go back first. Oh, by the way, I'll try to invite the old Taoist priest again tomorrow. , Colleagues said that he is very effective, and you can invite him to come and have a look, but the old Taoist priest is quite busy, so it depends on his time. "
"Didn't you say that we also invited an old Chinese medicine practitioner?"
"You have to ask. Since the hospital can't see anything good for so long, let's try a few more methods."
"Well, it's all up to you."
Watching my boyfriend leave After going downstairs, Zheng Jiayi turned around silently and returned to the ward first.
In the ward, his parents were still humming. It had been a few days since they were admitted to the hospital, and their consciousness was still sometimes awake and sometimes blurry.
Pick up the hot water bottle and go to the east end of the floor to get boiled water. When she walked back, Zheng Jiayi saw a young girl carrying a mountaineering bag standing at the door of her parents' ward, confirming the house number of the ward.
"Excuse me, who are you?"
Yinmeng turned her head, looked at Zheng Jiayi, and said, "I am the person that counselor Wu invited to see the doctor."
Zheng Jiayi said in disbelief: " Are you so young?"
"My master has something to do, so let me take a look first."
"But my partner has just left, shouldn't you..."
"My master only gave me the address of the ward. If you don't believe me, then I can leave now."
I said I was leaving, but my body was already turned sideways, my right leg was slightly bent, and I was ready to leave. Prepare to kidnap the other person into the ward as quickly as possible and force him to see a doctor.
"Please come in."
Zheng Jiayi opened the door and invited Yinmeng into the ward.
In addition to the smell of disinfectant, the ward was also filled with a fishy smell.
Yinmeng walked straight to the bedside and observed the condition of the two old people.
She actually doesn’t know how to see a doctor.
She can prepare poison, that's her talent.
The short special training stimulated her perception of poison, but it is obviously unrealistic to expect a person to become a "famous doctor" in such a short period of time.
But she smelled it. The two old people were indeed poisoned. The hospital said it was food poisoning, which was quite appropriate.
However, she couldn't tell which kind of poison it was.
The problem is not big, just try one by one.
Yinmeng turned her left hand over, and there was a toad lying on her palm.
She just caught this in the hospital pond. Its belly is bulging and it is very angry.
Zheng Jiayi, who was about to pour water for Yin Meng, covered her mouth and let out a exclamation.
Yin Meng muttered to the toad, then stretched out her hand, flicked it under the toad's belly, pulled out another incense stick, rubbed the tip of the incense with her fingertips, and the outer skin of the incense peeled off, and white smoke rose.
After inserting the incense stick into the toad's mouth, the toad containing the incense was placed on the bedside table by Yin Meng.
Immediately afterwards, Yinmeng took out a stack of papers of different colors from her pocket, first taking out a black one, flicking her right hand, and a blade appeared, and pointed it at Zheng Jiayi's father's arm without hesitation. One stroke.
A hole appeared and blood flowed out.
Yin Meng dipped black paper into blood, then placed the paper on the incense stick, letting the incense burn a hole in the black paper where it was stained with blood.
The toad showed no reaction.
It’s not corpse poison.
Yin Meng took out another piece of purple paper, and in order to draw fresh blood, she once again used the blade to make a new cut on Zheng Jiayi's father's arm.
After taking the blood, draw a gourd and let the incense burn a hole in the paper.
Toad is still emotionally stable.
It's not poison.
The next thing Yinmeng took out was blue paper. Before opening a new wound, she glanced at Zheng Jiayi standing next to her.
Zheng Jiayi covered her mouth with her hands and opened her eyes wide. She was scared and felt incredible, but she did not scream or stop her. She even encouraged herself when she noticed her gaze. and gratitude.
This is a woman who can handle things clearly. She doesn’t understand, but she knows that she is treating a disease.
A new incision was made, the blood was taken, the paper was placed on the tip of the incense, and when the hole was burned, the toad screamed loudly.
It's a demonic poison.
Find out what kind of poison it is, and then there will be a corresponding solution. The method she knows is very simple and only, that is to fight poison with poison.
Yinmeng asked: "Can you catch toads?"
"Ah? I...I haven't caught them, but I can catch them." Zheng Jiayi said firmly.
"Forget it, let me go. You hold on to this toad. If I stay far away, it may lose control."
"Oh, okay."
Zheng Jiayi stepped forward, trying her best to discard the strong rejection in her heart, and grabbed the toad with both hands.
Yin Meng came to the window of the ward, opened it, and jumped out.
There is a pond below, which is faster than taking the stairs.
Looking at the window where people disappeared, Zheng Jiayi felt like she was dreaming tonight.
After a while, Yin Meng climbed out of the window, holding another toad in her hand.
Next, she began to feed poison into the toad's mouth. This was a poison with a paralyzing effect. The effect was similar to "Ma Fei Powder", but the side effects were great and it could easily damage people's brains.
So she deliberately lowered the dose.
After the two toads were fed poison respectively, Yinmeng used a blade to cut a square the size of a fingernail on the upper arm of Zheng Jiayi's father and mother, which was a piece of raw meat.
"This..." Zheng Jiayi still held back and said nothing.
She didn't think a person who could jump off the fourth floor and climb back up would be mentally ill.
“Here, help me.”
Yin Meng pointed the mouth of a toad at the wound of Zheng Jiayi’s father.
Zheng Jiayi stepped forward and lifted the toad up so that it could continue sucking the wound.
Yinmeng pointed the other toad at Zheng Jiayi’s mother’s wound.
"Gudu... Gudu... Gudu..."
At first, the black color continued to spread from the wound to other directions, but soon, the black color was quickly compressed back.
The bellies of the two toads are getting higher and bigger, like two angry puffer fish.
When the toad reached the limit of its endurance, Yinmeng threw the toad away, and a circle of fish scales appeared around the original wound.
Yinmeng stretched out her hand to grab it, pulled it out, and pushed Zheng Jiayi away at the same time, causing the toad in her hand to fall off. A circle of fish scales also appeared around her father's wound. Yinmeng also pulled it with her other hand. It grips.
Then, Yin Meng stepped forward, like a gymnast pulling a rowing machine.
"Crash...crash..."
From the wounds of Zheng Jiayi's father and mother, Yin Meng pulled out two fish scale lines that were two meters long.
When she reached the end, Yin Meng got angry. Due to the limited space in the ward, she simply leaned forward, tensed her arms and flipped forward on the spot.
"Pah! Pah."
Two fish scale lines were torn off.
Zheng Jiayi's father and mother sat up from the hospital bed almost at the same time, opened their mouths, and blue mist sprayed out from their eyes, ears, mouth and nose.
Subsequently, the two fell backwards and lay back on the hospital bed.
Breathing became smoother, and there was no longer pain on their faces while they were sleeping. Instead, they showed a sense of relief at last.
Yin Meng took out a snakeskin bag from her bag, rolled up the fishing line and threw it in.
The two big-bellied toads were now deflated. Not only were they not dead, they also looked very excited.
Yin Meng put them in front of her nose and smelled them, confirming that the poison she had fed previously had been neutralized by the demon poison, and they were now harmless.
Go to the window and throw them down. With two "plop" sounds, they return to the pond.
"Thank you for your hard work." Zheng Jiayi bowed to Yinmeng.
Yinmeng waved her hand, picked up her water glass, opened the lid, and took a sip of brown sugar water.
Zheng Jiayi asked: "Are my parents fine now?"
Yinmeng shook her head: "Treating the symptoms, not the root cause, will make you feel better for two months, but after two months, the toxins will accumulate again and you will get sick again. And it will be more difficult to remove.”
If they don’t come, then according to the current situation, the two old people will continue to be in this state for half a month, and their physical condition will deteriorate rapidly.
"What should we do?"
"I know they got the disease after returning to their hometown to visit graves. How long have they been there?"
"They stayed in their hometown for a total of two nights."
"Stay in your own old house?"
"The old house has not been inhabited for a long time. If you want to live in it, you have to clean it. It's inconvenient. I My parents live at my uncle's house."
"Is the food and accommodation there?"
"Yes,"
"If you want to completely cure your parents' illness, take me back to your hometown and visit your uncle's house, okay?"
"Okay, when is it convenient for you?"
After seeing this miraculous therapeutic effect, Zheng Jiayi trusted Yinmeng very much.
"The sooner the better, I have a lot to do."
"Then early tomorrow morning, I will call my partner. He will ask for leave and come here to take over and take care of my parents the fastest. It has to be in the morning. Then we will go to the train station together at noon.”
"Okay."
"Thank you." Zheng Jiayi bowed to Yinmeng again.
Zheng Jiayi began to clean the ward quickly.
Yinmeng stood nearby, as if something suddenly occurred to him, and asked: "Do you like small animals?"
"Yes, sometimes I meet poor stray animals on the road. , I will take them home, give them a bath and give them medicine, and then give them to neighbors or friends for adoption, mainly because I already have three at home and I can’t keep them anymore.”
"Then do you usually go to the orphanage?"
"I like to volunteer, how do you know?"
"Just ask."
"Oh, By the way, what should I call you?”
“My name is Yin Meng”
"Taoist Master Yinmeng."
Yinmeng was stunned for a moment, why is he a Taoist priest? This does not match the identity card he was given when he set out.
"My master is an old Chinese medicine doctor."
"Huh?" Zheng Jiayi was very surprised, "Are you not the Taoist priest's apprentice?"
"No."
"I thought those methods just now were...it turns out that Chinese medicine is so powerful."
"What's going on with the Taoist Priest?"
"My partner has discussed it with me and wants to ask him to I've been practicing for a long time, so I mistakenly thought that the master you were talking about was the very wise old Taoist priest. I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."
"It's okay."
Yin Meng is low. Head, took another sip of brown sugar water.
In other words, if he doesn't come tonight, Fatty Wu will bring an old Taoist priest over after a while. If the old Taoist priest is really capable, he should also be able to discover the clues of the evil poison, and naturally he will also want to find the root cause and solve it completely.
Then he went back to his hometown with Zheng Jiayi.
After that, something might happen, involving Fatty Wu, and then Fatty Wu would involve himself and others.
Before taking action, Brother Xiaoyuan specifically asked all of them to use this way of thinking to reason about their respective lines, and Yinmeng is doing so now.
According to common sense, from inviting the old Taoist priest to come over, to the old Taoist priest going to Min'an Town, to the investigation, to the accident, and then to involving Fatty Wu, every step in this process is quite time-consuming. If you want to finish it, at least you have to More than a month.
In this way, it barely coincides with Xue Liangliang's father's birthday. Yinmeng took out a notebook and pen from her bag and wrote down her thoughts.
This is the after-school homework left by Brother Xiaoyuan and needs to be handed in.
......
"If we are destined to break up, there is no need to pretend to stay with me. If love is eternal, how can we break up~"
What was originally a sad party for three old classmates turned into a bachelor party for four people because of Tan Wenbin's participation.
The gathering location was also changed from a melancholy tavern to a noisy singing room at Tan Wenbin's request.
Fan Shulin sat blankly on the sofa chair, watching his two old classmates and Tan Wenbin singing indulgently. For those who didn't know, he thought he was the one getting divorced today.
At this time, the pager on Hu Yiwei's waist rang, and he put down the phone: "I'll go to the front desk to answer the call."
Tan Wenbin put his arm around his shoulders: "Let's go together, I'll go again Order some wine.”
The two left the box and came to the front desk, where Hu Yiwei made a phone call.
After Tan Wenbin asked for beer, he asked for a pack of cigarettes in order to stay and listen.
Tear open the package, knock it, pull out two sticks, and hand one to Hu Yiwei. Hu Yiwei nodded and smiled, took it, and after biting it in his mouth, Tan Wenbin took out the lighter and gave it to him Click on.
"Thank you, buddy..."
At this time, the phone was connected, and as soon as the woman's voice on the other end came, Hu Yiwei's entire face changed.
Tan Wenbin silently lit one for himself.
After spending his rebellious and restless adolescence, he has stopped smoking long ago, but now he has to create a reasonable scene and listen to people making phone calls.
"Say."
"It's okay, I'll listen."
"Oh, I can't bear to say it now, what were you doing before?"
>
"Don't worry, I won't be sad. I'm singing with my friends to celebrate being single again. Let me tell you, Zeng Miaomiao, I can live a good life even without you!"
Tan Wenbin He blew out a smoke ring. To be honest, he could sympathize with Hu Yiwei. The two of them went from college to wedding, but inexplicably, his wife told him to divorce and return to his hometown.
Suddenly, Hu Yiwei was stunned.
Then, tears flowed out, and he shouted excitedly into the microphone:
"Zeng Miaomiao, you have no heart, you have no heart..."
The other end of the phone hung up. Hu Yiwei put the phone back, turned around, put his back against the tiles at the front desk, and slowly sat on the ground.
Tan Wenbin asked: "Brother Hu, what's wrong, what happened?"
"Miao Miao said that she had a blind date in her hometown and will get married next month.< br>
Tell me, she, why is she so cruel to me?”
Tan Wenbin asked: “Have they known each other before?”
"I don't know, we just met on a blind date today."
"You believe what she said?"
"Huh?"
"Brother Hu, yourself Think about it, isn't this nonsense? "
"You mean, they have actually hooked up a long time ago, but when I divorced, I asked her, and she swore to me that she had no affair or cheating. .”
"Brother Hu, what I mean is that you have to ask this matter in person. Go to her hometown and ask the matter clearly. Maybe she has something to hide, what do you think?"
"Fuck her. Home, ask her?" Hu Yiwei's eyes were full of confusion, "But I have tried to retain her, but it didn't work."
"Brother Hu, yours. Marriage can end, but it cannot be done in a hazy manner. You have to make it clear for yourself. Ask her and the person she is going to remarry.
At least, you will have someone to help you when you are in a bad mood and want to drink. It’s so easy to talk about.”
“Binbin... I don’t dare to face her anymore, I feel so uncomfortable.”
"It's okay. If you don't dare to go alone, then I will go with you!"
With the encouragement of others, Hu Yiwei's eyes gradually became firm: "Okay, next month, at her wedding, I want to go with you!" Let’s find out.”
Next month?
If I accompany you until next month, then maybe Brother Yuanzi and the others will have finished their work and come back.
"Brother Hu, you have to cheer up and listen to me. Let's go tomorrow!"
"Tomorrow?"
"Yeah, think about it, there is still a month left. You have to live in pain and depression every day. Do you still have the energy to work and live?
It’s better to cut the knot quickly and go there early to say hello. If you open up your words, you can turn the page of your life earlier."
Hu Yiwei nodded vigorously:
"Yes, you are right, I will go to the workplace to ask for leave tomorrow morning and go there in the afternoon. Find her, brother, you..."
"I will go to school to ask for leave in the morning, meet you at noon, and we will set off together in the afternoon!"
"Good brother!" Hu Yiwei excitedly held Tan Wenbin's hand, with tears and nose running down again, "We are so I haven’t had a virginity in years, really!”
"True brother, don't talk about this."
Tan Wenbin took out a roll of paper from the front desk and handed it to the true brother in front of him, who had known each other for less than three hours:
< br>“Come on, Brother Hu, rub it.”
"I'm going to the bathroom and wash my face."
After Hu Yiwei left, Tan Wenbin looked at the front desk waiter: "Can you give me a piece of paper and lend me a pen, thank you."
Tan Wenbin wrote on the paper, one month?
Obviously, Hu Yiwei has not let go of this relationship and marriage at all, so after learning that his ex-wife Lightspeed is remarrying, he will definitely go to the scene to find out.
With Hu Yiwei's character, if he hadn't appeared, he would have waited until the wedding day.
In other words, I have advanced the process by one month.
Then, something happened to Hu Yiwei?
After that, Fan Shulin contacted him and asked him for help?
It doesn’t have to be you. People like Runsheng and Ayou who go to the hospital for surgeries every now and then, can’t they still be contacted?
“Oh, Brother Xiaoyuan is indeed the one who uses this kind of thinking to push, and it feels like he has taken a big advantage.”
...
At noon, Yin Meng and Zheng Jiayi got on the train to Huangshan, while Tan Wenbin got into the car borrowed by Hu Yiwei.
At the same time, Li Zhuiyuan and Runsheng had arrived under a gate archway that read: Min'an Town.
The town is full of Huizhou architectural style, with stone bridges over the lake, pavilions and corridors, and is surrounded by green hills and farmland. There are views at every step and interest everywhere.
This is really a good place for sketching.
Xue Liangliang said that his hometown is beautiful, and it is true.
Actually, when Li Zhuiyuan learned about the place name "Huangshan Min'an Town" from Fatty Wu's office, he thought of Xue Liangliang.
The last time he and Luo Gong had a meeting together, Luo Gong managed to squeeze out half a day to go home and take a look. As a result, he encountered the problem of Jingjing being possessed by an evil spirit. After solving the problem, the two of them met again. I drove to Huangshan in a hurry to attend the meeting.
I remember Xue Liangliang said at the time that it was close to home, so I could go back to my hometown for a visit after the meeting.
After asking over the phone that Xue Liangliang's hometown was indeed "Min'an Town", Li Zhuiyuan did not ask further details, and later did not page Xue Liangliang to ask for the specific address of his home.
He knew that Brother Liangliang was very smart, and he might have already become suspicious at that time. If he asked one more time, he might immediately realize that something happened in his hometown.
Brother Liangliang is a very sober person. He will not choose to forcefully come back at this time to cause trouble for him. Then he does not need to worry about him from so far away, and the matter will be taken care of by himself.
The town has only one main street. There are some small shops on the street. The rest of the houses are in the alleys on both sides of the main street, and they live in separate households.
Li Zhuiyuan found the canteen, bought two bottles of drinks here, and then asked the canteen's aunt Xue Liangliang where her home was.
College students are very valuable these days. After reporting the university and their names, the aunt enthusiastically led Li Zhuiyuan and the two of them into an alley and to the door of a house.
The door of the house is wide open, and the aunt is shouting in dialect, which means that your bright friend is coming to the house as a guest.
Xue Liangliang’s parents came out. The vicissitudes of time could be seen on their faces, but their bodies were still strong. When Li Zhuiyuan finished introducing himself, the two elders said in unison:
"You are Xiaoyuan."
Obviously, Xue Liangliang mentioned himself to his family more than once.
The slight estrangement and politeness that might have existed disappeared at this moment. Li Zhuiyuan and Runsheng were warmly welcomed into the house, and the two elders began to cook.
It's an old house that must have been renovated in the past two years.
There is nothing special about the furnishings in the house, which is similar to that of ordinary people's homes, but in some details, it can be seen that although they live very simply, they are not embarrassed at all.
Xue Liangliang is not that obsessed with money, but it is also based on solving basic living needs. He will definitely send money to his parents every month, but his parents still live a familiar lifestyle. This makes them feel comfortable.
The food is very rich, especially the smelly mandarin fish, which is very tasty.
After the meal, the four of them sat in the courtyard and chatted.
Li Zhuiyuan was not in a hurry to search everywhere for information. Everyone had a line they were responsible for, and the most important thing was to dig out his own line as well as possible first.
Next month is Xue Liangliang’s father’s fiftieth birthday, and he plans to hold a grand party. When talking about it, the two elders were very happy.
At dusk, Xue Liangliang's father took Li Zhuiyuan to the promenade in the town, which is close to the river. At this time every day, people gather here to play chess and drink tea, and occasionally people talk about storytelling.
Li Zhuiyuan felt as if he was traveling.
During dinner, Li Zhuiyuan talked about birthday celebrations again and asked about some local customs.
When they went to bed at night, Li Zhuiyuan and Runsheng lived in the same room where Xue Liangliang was at home.
The soundproofing of the old house, which is mainly made of wood, is not very good. Li Zhuiyuan’s hearing is particularly keen. He could hear the conversation between the two elders on the bed in the next room “clearly.”
They talked about themselves, mainly praising their children for being good-looking and smart, and that was all.
Then they focused on the topic of when Xue Liangliang can get married and when he can have a grandson. This should be the focus of the old couple's daily night conversations.
Just as this old topic was coming to an end, Xue Liangliang’s mother suddenly said:
"I don't know when the expedition team will come back. They are all young children. How can they be so courageous to go to that village."
Xue Liangliang's father seemed to be disgusted with this topic and said:
“Stop talking about this, go to sleep.”
Li Zhuiyuan opened his eyes: Expedition team?
“Brother Runsheng, shall we go for a walk?”
Li Zhuiyuan knew that Runsheng was not asleep because he did not snore.
"Okay."
The two left the house deliberately and quietly, came to the alley, and walked from the alley to the main street.
At this time, all the shops on the street were closed, and there were no pedestrians. As they walked, they came to the archway where they entered the town.
"Logically speaking, if everything goes well for both of them, they should be here by now. Brother Runsheng, what time is it now?"
Runsheng picked up his watch and took a look at it and said: "11:48."
"Wait a little longer and go back to bed at midnight."
......
Tan Wen Bin sat in the car and asked: "We are here, Brother Hu, look at the archway in front, Min'an Town."
Hu Yiwei also breathed a sigh of relief: "We are here, my waist."
Tan Wenbin looked at the time in the car: "We have been driving for so long, it is already 11:49 now."
"If the tire hadn't punctured midway, we could have arrived earlier."
"Then where should we stay at night? Find a private residence to stay?"
"No, I want to go directly to her house."
Tan Wenbin nodded and said nothing.
The car continued to move forward, passing through the deserted archway.
......
Yin Meng and Zheng Jiayi were sitting on a bullock cart, driven by an old man. The cart was pulling fertilizers and pesticides, and they were sitting on these things.
The old man said: "Girls, don't rush so late next time. It's not safe."
"I understand, sir." Zheng Jiayi agreed with a smile.
"Okay, we're here. Your house is in Qianxiang, right. I live at the end of the town, so I'll drop you off here."
Zheng Jiayi took out her wallet and prepared to give money.
"What kind of money should I give? Although we don't have the same surname, but to be honest, I am also your grandfather, so I have to be judged by others when giving money." After the old man finished speaking, he drove the bullock cart and continued to move forward.
Yin Meng looked up at the Shangmen Archway: Min'an Town.
Zheng Jiayi said: "Let's go, I will take you to my uncle's house."
"Your uncle and the others should be sleeping, right?"
"Then they must go to bed early in the countryside. Let me see it is...ah, it's already 11:50."
......
Li Zhuiyuan and Runsheng waited under the gate arch until midnight, but no one was there.
“Let’s go back to sleep.”
"Okay."
When I turned around and walked back, a gust of wind blew, blowing the treetops in front of me and falling three leaves.
