"Xiao Rui! Someone is looking for you!"
Grandma's voice woke me up from my sleep.
"What's wrong?" I opened my eyes and found that the sky hadn't fully lit up yet. I estimated the time to be less than six o'clock. My grandma usually felt sorry for me and tried to let me sleep as much as possible for calling me so early. , something must have happened, I suddenly woke up.
"There are many people in our yard, saying they are here to see you. Have you offended someone?" Grandma asked in a low voice.
I did good deeds in the village and treated people. I saw some people who were so poor that they didn’t even charge for the medicine. Who could I, a kind person like me, offend?
I put on clothes and didn't wash my face. When I went out and saw it, I almost fainted from fright.
There were more than twenty people standing in the small yard, all of them in suits and leather shoes, with serious faces. There was also a luxury car parked outside the yard, which looked like it was worth millions.
I've seen big battles, but never anything like this.
"What...are you doing?" My voice was a little unsure, and I began to think about whether I had really offended someone.
The leading man immediately walked up to me and said, "Are you Shangguan Rui? Our Mr. Hu has a strange disease. I heard that you can cure it. Please come with us!"
"ah?"
I was stunned and felt relieved. Why are you so awesome when you come to see a doctor? ! I'm scared to death!
"I am Shangguan Rui, where is Mr. Hu? What are your symptoms?"
"Symptoms... it's hard to tell." The man looked strange, as if he didn't know how to describe it. "Anyway, Mr. Hu said that I must bring you over today. He is in Xiangcheng."
I sighed. Xiangcheng was at least 700 kilometers away from the village. It took a whole day to get there by car. Plus, Mr. Hu's begging attitude made people want to refuse.
But I am a doctor after all, so I can't just wait for someone to die, not to mention that people have already begged for help at the door. It seems that there is really nothing they can do, so I asked them to go out and wait, saying that I would be there soon.
Such a big battle almost scared grandma.
I briefly told my grandma about the situation, packed up my things, and was ready to go.
For some reason during the past few days, I often couldn't see anyone. I walked up the mountain or down the river, wandering around. The relationship was established, and I didn't feel flustered like before. I left a note and left.
The luxury car is so comfortable. After riding for six or seven hours, I didn’t feel very tired. I slept soundly on the way and was still very energetic when I arrived in Xiangcheng.
Mr. Hu's home is in the urban area of Xiangcheng. It is a large and luxurious villa like a palace. As soon as I entered the door, nannies and servants kept coming to greet me.
I was led all the way to the bedroom upstairs and met Mr. Hu himself.
"Mr. Hu, Dr. Shangguan is here."
In a magnificent room, a fat middle-aged man was lying on the bed. He was lifeless and his face was as pale as paper. He was gasping for air and shouting "Ouch, Ouch, Ouch," and he looked very painful.
A beautiful woman with big wavy hair was taking care of him and wiping his sweat from time to time.
"Hurry up, hurry up, save me!" Mr. Hu struggled to sit up and held my hand.
When I got closer, my scalp felt numb!
I saw that Mr. Hu... actually had two faces!
To be precise, one face grew another face.
Next to Mr. Hu's original facial features, there was actually a fleshy pimple like a sore. Above the pimple was a second face. It looked like it had both eyes, nose, and mouth. It was wrinkled, ugly and scary!
"I'm so sorry, Doctor Shangguan, I know that anyone would be scared to see me like this, but... I really can't help it. They said you have great abilities, you can definitely cure me, right?!"
Mr. Hu almost collapsed. He held his head with his hands in pain and kept pulling his hair.
When I raised my hand, I took a deep breath.
I saw many similar sores on Mr. Hu's arms, neck, chest, and all the exposed skin. At first glance, they were all human faces that had begun to take shape. This made Mr. Hu look... It looks like a monster, completely terrifying!
"Dr. Shangguan, is there anything you can do? It's so painful for Lao Hu. No matter how many experts he consults, he can't be cured. You must help him!" The woman held Mr. Hu's hand and looked at me pleadingly.
"Xiaoyuan, I'm sorry that I didn't let you enjoy any blessings and made you worry... When I get better, I will definitely marry you." Mr. Hu sighed.
"Don't be like this. I'm not here for you. As long as you get better soon, that's better than anything else." The woman wiped away her tears.
The amount of information in this conversation was a bit overwhelming. I touched the tip of my nose and asked, "Since you came all the way to find me, it means you know that your illness is not a real illness, but a virtual one, right?"
"I know that I am a businessman and I believe in this thing. If I ask famous doctors again and again to no avail, then there must be something wrong. I just don't know what the problem is."
"You are suffering from a human-to-human disease."
I said solemnly, I happened to see this symptom in my grandfather's notes, although the body was covered with sores, which could easily be mistaken for some kind of infectious disease.
"But it's not contagious, it's because you were cursed by someone else."
"curse?!"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Hu shivered and dropped the teacup, and the woman was so frightened that she covered her mouth.
"Who would curse Lao Hu? And do it so cruelly!"
I shook my head. It’s hard to say, and the yin and yang of general curses can be seen. In other words, you can tell whether it’s a dead soul causing trouble, or a living person who wants you to die and casts a spell on you. But the human-faced plague can’t tell. Not coming out.
In other words, it is possible that the dead person has a grudge against Mr. Hu and curses him, or it is possible that the living person has a grudge against Mr. Hu and wants him to die.
After all, there is no reaction from my left eye at this moment, which means that there is no such thing around at this time.
The atmosphere was depressing for a while, and Mr. Hu and the woman almost cried while hugging each other.
"Mom! Uncle Hu! I found a very powerful Taoist priest, and he said he can help you cure the sores on your body! Now..."
A boy of seventeen or eighteen years old with dyed yellow hair hurriedly walked in, followed by a Taoist priest in a Taoist robe. Behind the Taoist priest, there was also a young disciple.
"Is there a guest here?" The boy is the woman's son. From this address, it is estimated that the woman is Mr. Hu's lover.
"What did you just say? Can this Taoist priest cure my disease?" Mr. Hu completely ignored the boy's question and looked at the Taoist priest with earnest eyes.
The Taoist priest was wearing a worn Taoist robe. He waved his whisk in his hand and said in a sharp voice: "I heard about your illness on the way. You have been cursed. I can help you undo the curse!"
I looked at the Taoist priest's stern look, and he didn't look like a good person. Before he could say anything, Mr. Hu hurriedly said: "Hurry! Help me! As long as you can cure my disease, how much do you want me to do it?" Give you all!"
