Professor Lan also felt that it was not appropriate to say this in his own capacity. It was indeed quite funny for a dignified overseas scholar and university professor to say something as ridiculous as falling in love with a ghost.
"Ah, I'm not sure about the specific situation. Anyway, this kid has a relationship with a ghost and seems to be getting married, but it's probably all rumors."
Professor Lan was a little embarrassed and didn't want to talk anymore.
"Tomorrow you all come to my place to get to know each other, and then I will take you to the patient's place. You may have to stay there for two days..."
After settling on this matter, we took the time to sleep for a while.
Liu Qingshan went out early the next day to find Dong Wei and asked him to help find a reliable nanny. Since he was going to live in Yanjing for a long time in the future, it would definitely not be possible without someone to take care of this big yard.
The four of us went to Professor Lan’s residence.
Professor Lan was assigned a small private courtyard. Although it was not as luxurious and spacious as my house, it was more elegant and clean.
There is a separate collection room in the courtyard, and Professor Lan let us in.
As soon as you enter the door, you see a bamboo painting by Zheng Banqiao hanging on the front wall. There are also calligraphy and paintings by famous people around. Any one you take out is worth several thousand yuan.
Du Jun was dazzled and whispered in my ear.
"Where did Uncle Lan get so many good things? The total cost of cleaning this house must not exceed a million!"
"I didn't expect that Lan Yue is still a rich little woman. Who will marry her in the future? The dowry is already in the bank!"
Not only are there calligraphy and paintings, there are also many old objects displayed around it.
There are porcelain, jade, bronze, red sandalwood table, ivory tableware, two bows hanging on the wall, and swords on the shelf.
Professor Lan saw that I was very interested and specially introduced it to me.
Those two bows and swords were weapons that could only be equipped by the Ouchi guard captain during the Xianfeng period. Unfortunately, they have no use in this era.
Professor Lan deliberately wanted to return a favor to us and asked Lan Yue to take Xiaolian and Wang Man to choose some gadgets that girls were interested in.
He found two things for Du Jun and me separately. The one he gave to Du Jun was a Browning pistol, which was purchased from abroad. It seemed to have been worn by a French royal family. The ivory gun handle was inlaid with gems.
What was given to me was a long gold needle made of gold, silver, and other precious metals. It was very cleverly designed and could be worn around the wrist as a small bracelet.
It can be used for acupuncture at ordinary times, and it can also be used for self-defense in critical moments.
Wang Man and Xiao Lian each had an ivory ornament. The value of these items was much higher than that of jade Ruyi, but Lan Yue didn't even blink an eyelid.
Du Jun was right, she was just a rich little woman.
Professor Lan hired a trolley from the school to take Wang Man and Xiaolian home first.
Liu Qingshan had already found a neat middle-aged woman and was cleaning the house with her. I told Liu Qingshan that he didn’t need to follow me on this medical visit and that I should seize the time to familiarize myself with the topography of Yanjing.
Let Xiaolian and Wang Man prepare some things for us, and set off with Lan Yue and his daughter.
In the car, I specifically asked about the origin of the purple and gold necklace on Lan Yue's neck. Unfortunately, it took too long, and Professor Lan only vaguely remembered that he received it from an old man who set up a stall when he was young.
Professor Lan naturally knew that it was purple gold. This thing was exquisitely made, so he gave it to Lan Yue as a jewelry.
I was a little disappointed, so I took out the Five Elements Purple Money and asked Professor Lan to identify it.
Professor Lan took it and looked at it carefully for a long time, and finally concluded that my set of money and the necklace in Lan Yue's hand were definitely products of the same time. In terms of casting technology, they were probably made by the same craftsman.
If this wasn't a magic weapon for my self-defense, he would want to buy it and keep it.
You must know that this complete set of purple gold instruments may be the only one in the entire Chinese collection world.
…
Professor Lan and his friend live in Hongliuzhuang outside Yanjing City. It is relatively remote and there are a lot of agates nearby. We are going to take some time to visit and buy two things to take back to Dajin Village as gifts.
When we arrived at the place, Professor Lan's colleague Cao Aijun had been waiting at the entrance of the village early. The old man had a round face, a short and fat figure, and wore a pair of glasses. He stepped forward and held Lan Jianguo's hand tightly.
"Old Lan, you are here!"
He looked back.
"Oh, Lan Yue is here too, then these two must be the miracle doctors you mentioned."
Du Jun and I stepped forward and shook hands with the old man respectively.
"Quick, go inside and take a rest first."
Behind Professor Cao was his wife, a simple middle-aged woman, who enthusiastically let us into the room.
This is a common courtyard in rural areas, with three large tile-roofed houses at the front entrance and a small warehouse in the courtyard.
Cao Aiguo let us into the middle room, where the fire was blazing hot. We took off our coats and drank two sips of tea, while the Cao family prepared fruits and candies.
Professor Lan waved his hand: "Old Cao, please stop being busy, we are not outsiders.
"Come on, let me introduce you formally. Xiao Dao and Da Jun are both Lan Yue's classmates. They usually call me uncle.
"This time I came here specifically for Liru's affairs. Please keep the story short and introduce to them what's going on?"
Cao Aijun nodded repeatedly: "Okay, since you are Lao Lan's nephew, then I have nothing to hide. This girl is really embarrassing. She, she is haunted by a ghost."
Cao Aijun talked about his daughter's bizarre illness.
Lao Cao achieved the transformation from rural to urban through study. A farmer's child not only went to college, but also stayed in school to become a teacher.
But this man still retains his true nature as a farmer, and his wife and children are all in the countryside.
There are two sons and one daughter in the family. The two sons have already married and started a business, and only the old daughter Cao Liru is left with her.
This girl is usually well-educated and has a very good character, but some time ago Lao Cao noticed that his daughter's eyes were straight and she was always giggling here.
Asked her why, Cao Liru didn't say anything.
Two days later, Cao Liru became drowsy and gradually turned into a coma.
Her coma was not like other people's. She fell asleep during the day and woke up on time around six o'clock in the evening.
After finishing a meal, she continued to fall asleep, often talking nonsense, saying that she was going to see her husband, and the two of them would live together...
I went to many doctors and they all said it was nonsense caused by a high fever.
When the Cao couple was having a headache, Cao Liru briefly woke up after eating two days ago. She lay on the kang and told her parents that she and her husband went out to play last night and ate a lot of good food.
At that time, Professor Cao felt that his daughter's condition was getting worse. Cao Liru had never left the house at all. How could she go out to eat?
Besides, she doesn’t even have a boyfriend, so where can she get a husband?
But what happened next almost scared the old couple to death. Cao Liru actually took out food from her arms and handed it to them, saying that it was specially left for them.
"Look, I didn't dare to throw that thing away, it's right here."
Professor Cao took out a plastic box from outside and opened it shakily.
Inside were two slightly deformed steamed buns. The steamed buns were pure black, with a bright red round seal stamped on the surface, which read four large characters - Anxiang and Peace.
ah!
Lan Yue screamed and leaned towards me in fright.
Are these steamed buns offered to the dead when they visit their graves?
