Seeing the two of us singing in harmony, Haizi gradually relaxed and sat down to work with peace of mind.
The autumn wind is bleak, but the room is very warm.
Today is the weekend. Haizi doesn't need to go to school. He is very sensible and helps me look at the medicine jars. The guests come and go one after another.
I went to the city during the day and said that I had a client who asked her to deal with something.
I finally got through the morning and sent away a wave of guests. Just after dinner and preparing to take a nap, I saw a person lingering at the door.
I thought about it and walked up.
This is an older man, he looks to be in his fifties or sixties, with gray hair on his temples, wearing a pudding-covered shirt, with a tangled look on his face.
"Hello, what's the matter?"
Seeing me coming up to ask, the man hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Hello, I'm here to find a girl named Bai Tian."
"During the day? She went out for something and is not here."
"Going out?" When the man heard this, he became anxious, "Then did she say when she would be back?"
I shook my head: "If it's fast, I might come back today, but if it's slow, I can't say it."
"This is how to do ah?"
The man kept pacing back and forth in front of me as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood, and he pretended not to hear the questions I asked.
This guy must have some mental problems.
I gave him a strange look, and for the sake of safety, it was better for me to go back, lest he take out a knife and try to chop me.
"etc."
I was about to go back to the house when he suddenly stopped me.
The man looked at me up and down with scrutinizing eyes. The more he looked at me, the inexplicable excitement burst out in his eyes.
It's over, don't be a psychopath, just a pervert.
He suddenly stepped forward and grabbed my hand: "Sorry, I'm here unexpectedly and I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Li Wen and I'm from the next village."
"I don't know you very well." I struggled to break away from his hand and looked at him awkwardly.
"Do you know the road center in the next village?"
I nodded. Lu Xin was the richest in the next village. After doing a little business, he became the overlord of the village. However, I heard that he was a good character and often built roads and bridges for their village.
"It's like this. The young master in Lu Xin has been ill recently, and it's a bit serious. If you don't mind, can you come with me and help with medical treatment? Don't worry, their family is not short of money, and the reward they will give you will definitely not be low. "
I was dumbfounded by his words.
"It's not that I don't want to see it, but I have to find out what your master's symptoms are first."
After a moment of silence, Lu Xin took out a few hundred-dollar bills from his pocket and handed them to me: "These are considered deposits. Please come over and have a look tonight, okay?"
I have to say that the temptation of money is still very strong.
"Is the young master seriously ill?"
"There is one point. After seeing many doctors, they can't see anything good, so you are the only one left."
Li Wen's words were very helpful to me. I thought about it and said, "Please tell me your address. I'll come over in the evening and have a look."
Lu Xin showed a big smile and kept clapping her hands excitedly: "That's the best!"
He took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to me, saying that it had the address of the house on it. I glanced at it briefly and saw that it was not too far away.
After agreeing on a time and place, Li Wen left with satisfaction.
I felt something was wrong, but I didn't know what to say.
At night, I packed my things and got ready to go out.
Haizi suddenly ran to my side and tugged on the corner of my clothes: "Brother, do you really want to go out so late? Did you bring your mobile phone?"
I touched his head: "Don't worry, I've packed everything. It's in the next village, not far away. I'll be there soon on my motorcycle. You do your homework at home. If you're good, I'll do it after school tomorrow." I’ll buy you candied haws.”
The temptation of candied haws on children is great, no matter what age group they are.
After hearing what I said, Haizi reluctantly let go of his hand holding my leg.
I pushed the motorcycle out, shook my long legs, twisted the handle, and left with a groan.
The village next door is not big, so it was a bit difficult to find a house. I rode my motorcycle and searched house to house for a long time, and finally found it at the east end of the village.
The family seemed to be preparing for a happy event. The whole house was decorated with feasting and red silks.
But it was obviously such a festive event, but I felt panicked.
Taking a deep breath, I came to the door and knocked on the door.
With a creak, the door opened, revealing a small half of the face of the person behind the house. I was startled.
She was an old woman with wrinkles on her face, but she kept looking at me with eyes that looked at the goods. Finally, a strange smile appeared on her face: "Are you the doctor of the village, Shangguan Rui?"
"Yes, I heard someone is sick inside, I came over to take a look."
"come in."
The old woman nodded and made room for me. I quickly opened the door and entered.
This is a big house, with red silks and double happiness hanging everywhere, but it is so deserted inside, a huge contrast.
I finally couldn't help it anymore and asked curiously: "Are you having a wedding?"
"Yes, the groom is sick."
"That's really unlucky."
The atmosphere around me was so awkward that I could only find a topic in embarrassment.
After passing through the courtyards, we came to a room.
The old woman pushed the door open, and the door creaked. The surroundings were too quiet, which made the sound particularly harsh.
I walked into the house and it was filled with a rotten smell.
I felt something was wrong, so I turned around and wanted to leave, but the next second, I felt a sharp pain on my forehead. My eyes widened and I looked at the old woman holding a stick in her hand and looking at me expressionlessly.
Before I could speak, my body fell down softly.
Suffocating, feeling unable to move.
When I looked up again, I was already lying on a bed, my body was tightly tied up, and next to me, sleeping with half of my body already rotting.
"vomit."
There were all kinds of bugs on that thing constantly burrowing in and out between the rotten flesh. Coupled with the strong smell, I really almost vomited it out.
"You bitch, don't vomit. If you do, you'll mess up the charm I drew for you."
An old voice sounded from beside me. I looked up and saw the old woman holding a bowl in her hand and walking towards me slowly.
I looked down and saw that my clothes were almost torn off, and there were curved patterns painted on my body with red paint.
