"Okay, okay, it's not early, you have to go to work tomorrow, go back and rest."
"Don't worry about things at school, why don't I stay and accompany you tonight, you go back and take a good shower and sleep, look, you are haggard these days."
"This is not appropriate."
"Jiayi, believe me, I can do it."
"I mean, my parents are already unwell and it's hard to sleep at night, and if you add your snoring, they will be even more uncomfortable."
"Ah, it's because of this." Fatty Wu nodded a little awkwardly, "That's true, that's right."
"Okay, I'm used to your snoring, and it's strange that I can't hear it for a while, but my parents are patients now, you go back quickly, my parents understand your feelings."
"Okay, I'll go back first. Oh, by the way, I'll try to invite the old Taoist priest tomorrow, my colleagues say he's very smart, you can invite him over to take a look, but the old Taoist priest is busy, it depends on his time."
"Didn't you say that you also invited an old Chinese medicine doctor?"
"I have to please, since the hospital has not been able to see well for so long, let's try a few more methods."
"Well, I'll listen to you."
Watching her boyfriend walk downstairs, Zheng Jiayi turned around silently and returned to the ward first.
In the ward, his parents were still "humming", and it had been a few days since they were admitted to the hospital, and the consciousness of the two old people was still sometimes awake and sometimes blurred.
When she walked back, Zheng Jiayi saw a young girl carrying a hiking bag standing at the door of her parents' ward, confirming the ward number.
"Excuse me, who are you?"
Yin Meng turned her head, looked at Zheng Jiayi, and said: "I am the person Counselor Wu invited to see a doctor."
Zheng Jiayi didn't dare to let go: "You are so young?"
"My master has something to do, let me take a look first."
"But, my partner 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."
He said he was leaving, but his body had already turned sideways, and his right leg was slightly bent, ready to take the other party hostage into the ward as quickly as possible and forcibly see a doctor.
"Please come in."
Zheng Jiayi opened the door and invited Yin Meng into the ward.
In addition to the smell of disinfectant, there was also a fishy smell in the ward.
Yin Meng walked straight to the hospital bed and observed the situation of the two old men.
She actually doesn't know how to see a doctor.
She can prepare poison, which is her talent.
The short special training stimulated her perception of poison, but it was obviously unrealistic to expect a person to become a "famous doctor" in such a short period of time.
But she sniffed it out, the two old people were indeed poisoned, and it was quite appropriate for the hospital to say that it was food poisoning.
However, she couldn't tell what kind of poison it was.
It's not a big problem, just try one by one.
Yin Meng flipped his left hand, and there was a toad lying in the palm of his hand.
This was what she had just caught in the hospital pond, her stomach was bulging and she was very angry.
Zheng Jiayi, who was about to pour water for Yin Meng, covered her mouth and let out an exclamation.
Yin Meng muttered something to the toad, then stretched out his hand, flicked it under the toad's belly, pulled out another incense, and kneaded it with his fingertips on the tip of the incense.
After inserting this incense stick into the toad's mouth, the incense toad was placed on the bedside table by Yin Meng.
Immediately afterwards, Yin Meng took out a stack of papers of different colors from her pocket, first took out a black one, flicked her right hand, and a blade appeared, and without hesitation, she made a swipe at Zheng Jiayi's father's arm.
A hole appeared, and blood flowed out.
Yin Meng used black paper to stain blood, then put the paper on the incense, and let the incense burn a hole in the black paper stained with blood.
The toad did not respond.
It's not corpse poison.
Yin Meng took out another piece of purple paper, and in order to get fresh blood, she used the blade again to cut a new hole on Zheng Jiayi's father's arm.
After taking the blood, draw a ladle according to the gourd and let the incense burn the paper into a hole.
Toad is still emotionally stable.
It's not poison.
Yin Meng took out the blue paper next, and before opening a new wound again, she glanced at Zheng Jiayi standing next to her.
Zheng Jiayi covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes widened, she was very scared, she felt incredible, but she didn't scream, nor did she stop her, and even showed encouragement and gratitude to herself when she noticed her gaze.
This is a woman who can handle it clearly, she doesn't understand, but she knows that this is treating a disease.
The new mouth was cut, the blood was taken, and then the paper was placed on the tip of the incense.
It is a demonic poison.
The method she knows is very simple and unique, that is, to fight poison with poison.
Yin Meng asked: "Can you catch toads?"
"Huh? I...... I haven't caught it, but I can catch it." Zheng Jiayi said firmly.
"Forget it, I'll go, you hold on to this toad, if I get too far away, it may get out of control."
"Oh, okay."
Zheng Jiayi stepped forward, abandoned the strong rejection in her heart as much as possible, and grabbed the toad with both hands.
Yin Meng came to the window of the ward, opened the window, and jumped out.
Below is the pond, 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 crawled out of the window, holding another toad in his hand.
Next, she began to feed the toad poison into its mouth, which is a poison with a paralyzing effect, similar to "Ma Fei San", but with great side effects, it is easy to break people's brains.
So she deliberately lowered the dosage.
After the two toads were fed poison respectively, Yin Meng used a blade to cut a square the size of a fingernail cap on the arms of Zheng Jiayi's father and mother, which was to dig a piece of meat raw.
"This ......" Zheng Jiayi still held back and didn't say anything.
A person who can jump from the fourth floor and climb up again, she doesn't think it will be mentally ill.
"Come on, take a hand."
Yin Meng pointed a toad's mouth at Zheng Jiayi's father's wound.
Zheng Jiayi stepped forward and lifted the toad so that it could continue to suck on the wound.
Yin Meng aimed another toad at Zheng Jiayi's mother's wound.
"Gooper...... Grunt...... Grunt ......"
At first, it was the black that kept spreading from the wound to the rest of the direction, but soon, the black was quickly compressed back.
The bellies of the two toads are getting higher and bigger, like two angry pufferfish.
When the toad reached the limit of its endurance, Yin Meng threw the toad away from his hand, and a circle of fish scales appeared around the original wound location.
Yin Meng 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.
Then, Yin Meng stepped forward, like a fitness person jerking a rowing machine.
"Wow...... Wow, ......."
From the wounds of Zheng Jiayi's father and mother, two two-meter-long fish scale lines were pulled out by Yin Meng.
Due to the limited space in the ward, she simply leaned forward, her arms tensed and flipped forward in place.
"Snap! Snap."
Two fish scale lines were torn off.
Zheng Jiayi's father and mother sat up from the hospital bed almost at the same time, their mouths open, and blue mist sprayed out from their eyes, ears, mouth and nose.
Then, the two fell backwards and lay back on the hospital bed.
Their breathing became smoother, and they no longer had pain on their faces while they were asleep, but showed a kind of relief that was finally relieved.
Yin Meng took out a snakeskin bag from his bag, rolled up the fishing line, and threw it in.
The two big-bellied toads were already deflated at this time, not only were they not dead, but they also looked very excited.
Yin Meng put them in front of her nose and sniffed them, confirming that the toxins they had fed them before had been neutralized with the demonic poison, and they were now harmless.
Go to the window and throw them down, and with two "pops" sounds, they return to the pond.
"Thank you, thank you for your hard work." Zheng Jiayi bowed to Yin Meng.
Yin Meng waved her hand, picked up her water glass, twisted the lid, and took a sip of brown sugar water.
Zheng Jiayi asked: "Is this okay for my parents?"
Yin Meng shook her head: "Treating the symptoms but not the root cause can be cured for two months, but after two months, the toxins accumulate again, and the disease will occur again, and it will be more difficult to remove."
If he doesn'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 I do then?"
"I know they got sick after going back to their hometown to go to the grave, how long have they been gone?"
"They stayed in their hometown for a total of two nights."
"Live in your own old house?"
"The old house has not been inhabited for a long time, and if you want to live in it, you have to clean it, it's inconvenient, my parents live in my uncle's house."
"Is food and accommodation there?"
"Well, yes."
"If you want to completely cure your parents' illness, take me back to your hometown and go to your uncle's house to have a look, is that okay?"
"Yes, when is it convenient for you?"
After seeing this miraculous healing effect, Zheng Jiayi trusted Yin Meng very much.
"The sooner the better, I have more things to do."
"Then tomorrow morning, I will call my partner, and he will take leave to take care of my parents here until morning at the earliest. Then let's go to the train station together at noon."
"Okay."
"Thank you." Zheng Jiayi bowed to Yin Meng again.
Zheng Jiayi began to clean the ward quickly.
Yin Meng stood next to her, as if she suddenly thought of something, and asked: "Do you like small animals?"
"I like it, sometimes I encounter poor stray animals on the road, I will take them home to bathe and give them medicine, clean them up, and then give them to neighbors or friends for adoption.
"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."
"Yin Meng Taoist Master."
Yin Meng was stunned for a moment, why is it a Taoist priest, this does not match the identity card he was given when he set off.
"My master is an old Chinese medicine doctor."
"Huh?" Zheng Jiayi was very surprised, "Aren't you the Taoist master's apprentice?"
"No."
"I thought those methods just now were...... It turns out that traditional Chinese medicine is so powerful."
"What's going on with the Taoist priest?"
"My partner discussed with me that he wanted to invite the Taoist priest to do the rituals, but I mistakenly thought that the master you mentioned was the very spiritual old Taoist priest, sorry, I misunderstood you."
"It's okay."
Yin Meng lowered her head and took another sip of brown sugar water.
In other words, if he doesn't come tonight, Fatty Wu will lead an old Taoist priest over after a while, if the old Taoist priest is really capable, he should also be able to find clues to the demonic poison, and naturally he will also think about finding the root to 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 involving himself and others.
Before taking action, Brother Xiaoyuan deliberately asked all of them to reason about their respective lines in this way of thinking, and Yin Meng is doing it now.
According to common sense, from inviting the old Taoist priest over, the old Taoist priest going to Min'an Town, investigating, having an accident, and then involving Fatty Wu, every link in this takes a lot of time.
In this way, it barely matched Xue Liangliang's father's birthday date. Yin Meng took out a notebook and pen from her bag and recorded her thoughts.
This is the after-school homework left by Brother Xiaoyuan, to be handed in.
……
"If you are destined to break up, you don't need to pretend to keep it for me, if love is eternal, how can we break up~"
What originally belonged to the tragic party of three old classmates turned into a singles carnival for four people because of the addition of Tan Wenbin.
The meeting place was also changed from a gloomy tavern to a noisy singing room at Tan Wenbin's request.
Fan Shulin sat on the sofa chair, watching his two old classmates and Tan Wenbin sing to their heart's content, not knowing, thinking that he was the one who divorced today.
At this time, the pager on Hu Yiwei's waist rang, and he put down the microphone: "I'll go to the front desk to answer the call."
Tan Wenbin put his arm around his shoulder: "Let's go get some wine again."
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 another pack of cigarettes in order to stay and listen.
Hu Yiwei nodded and smiled, took it over, and after biting into his mouth, Tan Wenbin took out a lighter and lit it for him.
"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 whole face changed.
Tan Wenbin silently ordered himself.
After spending his rebellious and restless adolescence, he had long stopped smoking, but now he had to create a reasonable scene and listen to people's calls.
"You say."
"It's okay, I'll listen."
"Heh, I can't bear to say it now, why did you go there before?"
"Don't worry, I won't be sad, I'm singing with my friends to celebrate my return to singleness, let me tell you, Zeng Miaomiao, even without you, I can live a good life!"
Tan Wenbin spat out a smoke ring, to be honest, he can empathize with Hu Yiwei, the two are from the university campus to the wedding dress, but inexplicably they were told by his wife to divorce and return to their hometown.
Suddenly, Hu Yiwei was stunned.
Then, tears flowed out and 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 buckled the microphone back, turned around, pressed his back against the front desk tiles, and slowly sat on the ground.
Tan Wenbin asked: "Brother Hu, what's wrong, what's wrong?"
"Miao Miao said that she had a blind date in her hometown and will get married next month.
You say, she, she, why did she do this to me, why is she so cruel!"
Tan Wenbin asked: "Did they know that marriage partner before?"
"I don't know you, I just met you on a blind date today."
"Do you believe what she says?"
"Huh?"
"Brother Hu, think about it yourself, isn't this nonsense?"
"You mean, they actually hooked up a long time ago, but when they divorced, I asked her, and she swore to me that she didn't have an affair or cheat."
"Brother Hu, I mean, you have to ask about this matter in person, go to her hometown, and ask about it clearly. Perhaps, she also has unspeakable secrets, what do you think?"
"Go to her hometown and ask her?" Hu Yiwei's eyes were full of confusion, "However, I have already tried to keep it, but it was useless."
"Brother Hu, your marriage can end, but you can't be confused, you have to understand for yourself, ask her, and ask the person she is going to remarry.
At least, when you are in a bad mood and want to drink alcohol again, you will have a way to talk about it."
"Binbin...... I don't dare to face her anymore, I feel so bad."
"It's okay, you don't dare to go alone, then I'll go with you!"
With the encouragement of others, Hu Yiwei's eyes gradually became firm: "Okay, next month, at her wedding, I will ask clearly."
Next month?
If I go with you next month, maybe Brother Yuanzi and the others have already come back.
"Brother Hu, you have to cheer up, listen to me, let's go tomorrow!"
"Tomorrow?"
"Yes, think about it, there is still a month left, how painful and depressed you have to live every day, and do you still have the mind to work and live?
It's better to cut through the mess quickly, go early, ask early, and talk about everything early, so that life can turn the page early."
Hu Yiwei nodded vigorously:
"Yes, you're right, I'll go to the unit tomorrow morning to ask for leave, and I'll go to her in the afternoon, brother, ...... you"
"I will go to school in the morning to ask for leave, meet you at noon, and we will set off together in the afternoon!"
"Good brother!" Hu Yiwei excitedly held Tan Wenbin's hand, tears and snot flowed down again, "We haven't been in vain for so many years, really!"
"True brother, don't say this."
Tan Wenbin took out a roll of paper from the front desk and handed it to the real brother in front of him, who had been full of money for less than three hours since he met him:
"Come on, Brother Hu, wipe it."
"I'll go 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, borrow a pen again, thank you."
Tan Wenbin wrote on the paper, a month?
Obviously, Hu Yiwei did not let go of this relationship and marriage at all, so after learning that his ex-wife Lightspeed was going to remarry, he would definitely go to the scene to ask clearly.
If he hadn't appeared himself, with Hu Yiwei's personality, he would probably have waited until the wedding day.
In other words, I brought this process forward by a month.
Then, something happened to Hu Yiwei?
After that, Fan Shulin contacted him and asked for his help?
It doesn't necessarily have to be yourself, but you can also contact people like Runsheng and Ayou, who go for surgery and are hospitalized every now and then?
"Alas, my Brother Xiaoyuan is worthy of Brother Xiaoyuan to use this way of thinking to push, and I feel that I have taken a big advantage."
……
At noon, Yin Meng and Zheng Jiayi got on the train to Huangshan, and Tan Wenbin got into the car borrowed by Hu Yiwei.
At the same time, Li Chaiyuan and Runsheng had already come to a door archway with the words "Min'an Town" written on it.
The town is full of Hui architectural style, with stone bridges and lakes, pavilions and corridors, and green mountains and farmland wrapped around it.
This is really a good place for sketching.
Xue Liangliang said that his hometown is very beautiful, and it is true.
In fact, when he learned the place name "Huangshan Min'an Town" from Wu Fatzi's office, Li Chaiyuan thought of Xue Liangliang.
Last time he had a meeting with Luo Gong, Luo Gong squeezed out half a day to go home and take a look, but he encountered Jingjing's evil thing, and after solving the matter, the two of them drove to Huangshan to attend the meeting in a hurry.
I remember Xue Liangliang said at that time that it was close to home, and I could go back to my hometown after the meeting.
When he asked over the phone that Xue Liangliang's hometown was indeed "Min'an Town", Li Chaiyuan did not ask specifically, and later did not call Xue Liangliang again to ask for the specific address of his home.
He knew that Brother Liangliang was very smart, maybe he was already suspicious at the time, if he asked again, he was afraid that he would immediately realize that something had happened in his hometown.
Brother Liangliang is a very sober person, he will not choose to forcibly come back at this time to cause trouble for himself, then he doesn't have to worry about it from so far away, and he will take care of things himself.
The town is just a main street, with some small shops on the street, and the rest of the houses are in the alleys on both sides of the main street, living in separate households.
Li Chaiyuan found the canteen, bought two bottles of drinks here, and then asked where the commissary aunt Xue Liangliang's home was.
After reporting to the university and his name, the aunt enthusiastically led Li Chaiyuan and the two into an alley to the door of a house.
The door of the house was wide open, and the aunt shouted in dialect inside, which meant that your bright friend had come to the house.
Xue Liangliang's parents came out, and the vicissitudes of time could be seen on their faces, but their bodies were still very strong, and when Li Chaiyuan finished introducing himself, the two elders said in unison:
"You are Xiaoyuan."
Obviously, Xue Liangliang has mentioned himself to his family, and more than once.
The little estrangement and politeness that might have existed disappeared at this moment, Li Chaiyuan and Runsheng were warmly welcomed into the house, and the two elders began to cook.
The old house should have just been renovated two years ago.
There is nothing special about the furnishings in the house, similar to ordinary people, but in some details, it can be seen that although the life is very simple, it is not embarrassing at all.
Xue Liangliang doesn't have that much obsession with money, but it is also based on solving basic living needs, and he will definitely send money to his parents every month, but his parents still live a familiar life pattern, which makes them feel comfortable.
The food was very rich, especially the stinky mandarin fish, which was very flavorful.
After the meal, the four of them sat in the courtyard and chatted.
Li Zhuiyuan is not in a hurry to search around and find information, everyone has their own line of responsibility, and the most important thing is to dig up their own line as much as possible.
Next month is Xue Liangliang's father's 50th birthday, and he plans to hold a big event.
At dusk, Xue Liangliang's father took Li Chaiyuan to the promenade in the town, which is close to the river, and people gather here to play chess and drink tea every day at this time, and occasionally someone will talk about storytelling.
Li Chaiyuan felt like he was traveling.
During dinner, Li Chaiyuan talked about birthday celebrations and asked about some local customs.
When sleeping at night, Li Chaiyuan and Runsheng lived in the room where Xue Liangliang was at home.
The old house with a wooden structure is not very good in soundproofing, Li Chaiyuan's hearing is particularly keen, and he can hear the conversation between the two elders on the bed in the next room.
They talked about themselves, mainly praising the child for being good-looking and smart, which was a head.
Then he focused on the topic of when Xue Liangliang can get married and when he can hold his grandson, which should be the focus of the old couple's daily night talks.
Just as this old topic was gradually coming to an end, Xue Liangliang's mother suddenly said:
"I don't know when that expedition team will come back, they are all young children, how can they be so bold and dare to go to that village?"
Xue Liangliang's father seemed to be very disgusted with this topic and said:
"Stop talking about this, go to sleep."
Li Chaiyuan opened his eyes: Expedition team?
"Brother Runsheng, let's go out for a walk?"
Li Chaiyuan knew that Runsheng was not sleeping because he didn't snort.
"Okay."
The two deliberately left the house quietly, came to the alley, and walked from the alley to the main street.
At this time, the shops on the street were closed, and there were no pedestrians, so the two walked and came to the archway where they entered the town.
"It stands to reason that if everything goes well for the two of them, they should be here by now. Brother Runsheng, what time is it?"
Runsheng picked up his watch and glanced at it, and said: "11:48."
"Wait a little longer, wait until midnight to go back to sleep."
……
Tan Wenbin sat in the car and asked: "It's here, Brother Hu, look at the archway in front, Min'an Town."
Hu Yiwei also breathed a sigh of relief: "It's here, my waist."
Tan Wenbin looked at the time in the car: "We have been driving for so long, and now it is 11:49."
"If it weren't for a flat tire in the middle, I could have arrived earlier."
"Then where will we stay at night? Find a private house to stay in?"
"No, I want to go directly to her house."
Tan Wenbin nodded and didn't say anything.
The car continued to drive forward, passing through an uninhabited archway.
……
Yin Meng and Zheng Jiayi were sitting in an ox cart, and an old man was driving the car, pulling fertilizers and pesticides in the car, and the two of them were sitting on these things.
The old man said: "Next time the girl's family doesn't rush so late, it's not safe."
"I know, uncle." Zheng Jiayi smiled and agreed.
"Okay, I'm here, your house is in the front alley, my family lives in the end of the town, so I'll give you here."
Zheng Jiayi took out her wallet and prepared to give money.
"What kind of money to give, although it is not the same surname, but to be honest, I am also your grandfather, and if you give money, you will be told." After the old man finished speaking, he drove the ox cart forward.
Yin Meng looked up at the archway above the gate: Min'an Town.
Zheng Jiayi said: "Let's go, I'll take you to my uncle's house."
"Your uncle and the others should have slept, right?"
"Then the countryside must go to bed early, let me see what it is now...... Ah, it's already 11:50."
……
Li Chaiyuan and Runsheng waited until midnight under the door archway, but did not wait for anyone.
"Let's go, go back to sleep."
"Okay."
As he turned around and walked back, a gust of wind blew, blowing the treetops in front of him and dropping three leaves.
