Returning to the courtyard, when entering the door, Bao Yuqin saw him. As soon as he took off his coat after entering the house, she came over with breakfast.
The soup dumplings, porridge, and side dishes are all fresh and fragrant. You can never buy them from outside.
I didn't even have dinner yesterday. I had been busy for most of the night, and my stomach was already empty. I could smell the aroma of the steamed buns, so I couldn't hold it in any longer. I sat down and had a good time, eating twenty-one small soup dumplings in one go, and then drank it. Two big bowls of white porridge and side dishes were all gone.
Bao Yuqin waited for me to finish eating and put away the dishes as usual, and then asked cautiously: "Mr. Zhou, I heard that Falin Temple in Wuzhang Mountain is quite efficacious. I want to take a strong soldier to become a master. Is it appropriate?"
"I'm not familiar with Jincheng, but I've heard of the name of Falin Temple. Many people from out of town come all the way to offer incense and make wishes. It would be nice to worship the eminent monks of Falin Temple. When you go there, be careful. There will be no problem if you enter the Mahavira Palace."
Bao Yuqin was waiting for my words, so she quickly agreed happily, turned around and trotted home.
I washed my hands again and took out the cup containing the ashes.
The wine flame had been extinguished, and the soaked and burned ashes had a black-gray mire texture, and the little puppet was completely smoked black.
I took off the sealing talisman and smashed the cup. The ashes condensed into a pile and fell on the table without breaking.
After pulling out the puppet, the feet showed the same color and texture as the ashes. The original wood material was completely invisible. They were soft and elastic when pinched, with a somewhat rubbery feel.
This primer for suppressing nightmares and suppressing spirits is now complete.
If the puppet's feet are broken now, the owner of the ashes and his descendants will have their feet fester and die in a short time.
But I can’t do this since Thousand-faced Bear has been eradicated by me.
I found two thin needles and pierced the soles of the puppet's feet respectively. I buried the puppet head down in the incense burner on the windowsill, with only the pierced feet exposed. Then I lit three sticks of incense, with the two feet just between the three sticks. , the incense ash can fall on the soles of the feet.
The next day was quite leisurely, with only one doctor coming in for consultation.
The man in charge of the house came home late after drinking, wandered off at night, and was in a daze for several days, unable to wake up.
This is the simplest external disease.
I used incense to burn the vertebrae on the back of his neck, and then gently rubbed his temples with a special technique. After just a few rubs, the man woke up, and the dizziness caused by drinking too much in the past years was also reduced a lot. I was very happy. The couple thanked me repeatedly and paid me 500 yuan according to the rules.
I had nothing to do, so I went out for a stroll as usual, but this time I left my mobile phone number. Anyone who came for a consultation could call me directly. There was a public phone available at a small shop not far away.
I wandered around until the afternoon, and while I was enjoying myself with a group of retired old men listening to their gossip, I received a call from Zhang Baoshan, asking me where I was. I reported the street sign and the name of the shop on the street. After a while, Zhang Baoshan drove over in his old Jetta and asked me to get in the car quickly.
"We caught Qian Mian Hu." Zhang Baoshan said this out loud before I could sit firmly in the passenger seat.
I smiled and said, "Congratulations, Captain Zhang is really a great detective. Even such an old fox can be caught so quickly. But there is no need to tell an outsider like me about this."
Zhang Baoshan said: "I will no longer be an outsider from now on."
I said, "Do you really want to compile it for me? No, I really don't want this. On the train, Comrade Gao has to drink in secret. How can I stand it?"
Zhang Baoshan laughed, "You can't give it to me even if you want it. No need to ask any more, just let me give you a try. You will know in a moment. I came to you this time because I want to see you."
I asked calmly: "Why does he want to see me?"
"He didn't say."
"Then you agreed if he wanted to see me? Is this in line with the rules?"
"We didn't catch him, he was picked up." Zhang Baoshan avoided answering my question. "He passed out at the train station. When we checked and treated him, we found that he had tens of thousands of cash hidden under his body, and there were many more I thought it was suspicious, so I reported it to the police station in front of the station, but when I went there and asked, he said he was a Thousand-faced Hu."
"What can't he think about? As for his crime, he can't escape even with a peanut. If he doesn't run away, he still dares to admit his identity?"
"He couldn't run even if he wanted to. His legs were swollen with pus and blood, and his feet were so rotten that the bones were visible. Now in the hospital, the high fever has not gone away, and his waking time is getting less and less. It is estimated that he will live in a few days. But after just asking a few questions, I revealed a lot of important clues. Lao Bao meant to take advantage of his cooperation to dig out more valuable things as soon as possible. "
When Zhang Baoshan said this, he hesitated and did not continue.
I just said, "If it's inconvenient, you don't need to tell me. This matter has nothing to do with me in the first place."
But Zhang Baoshan said: "It's not that it's inconvenient to tell you, it's Lao Bao who wants to tell you in person. If I tell you now, he will definitely have to deal with me later. He said it, and his level is high. Telling you in person seems Pay attention to."
I said: "Captain Zhang, in our line of work, we are most afraid of your attention. When you say this, I have no confidence in my heart at all. I feel so weak."
"Haha, you're not breaking the law, so what are you afraid of?"
"The official word is two-syllable. I'm a person who looks at diseases from outside. When I'm not watching, it's better to be a living god. If something really happens, one illegal medical practice and feudal superstition will be enough for me to drink a pot." of."
"That's what I'm saying. Sit upright. Why are we watching you? What do you mean? You have to be tough to strike iron. I think you are quite tough. Two important things like Wang Laoguan and Qianmian Hu are... You have merit but no fault. Most people in the world cannot compare to your abilities. Lao Gao said that you are a real god, and I can’t believe it."
"Captain Zhang, don't worry, I'm not a god, and I won't be a god."
"I feel relieved if you say this. Let me tell you, don't look at the fun that those gods are having now. It won't be long before they all have to make a list. Just keep your integrity and make a living based on your ability. You will never lose it. You have such a good reputation. It has spread, I have heard recently that we have a great man named Zhou in Jincheng, and he is very good at curing children's external diseases."
"Actually, I can also treat adults."
"I'll get someone to look for you in the evening. It's the reporter Chen Wenli from last time. Let me tell you, it will definitely be of great benefit if she is cured."
"When we open for medical treatment, everyone who comes to our door must be treated clearly. It doesn't matter who they are or what their identity is."
"I know you, Mr. Zhou, are kind-hearted, but some people have been cured, and the benefits are huge. I'm just giving you a warning."
Zhang Baoshan took me to the district public security bureau and went directly upstairs to find Bao Jianguo.
After entering the office, Bao Jianguo stood up to greet me very politely, asked me to sit on the sofa, poured tea himself, and then said to me: "Mr. Zhou, I invite you here this time because I want to hire you as a consultant to be responsible. Consult and guide us in handling cases involving special folklore matters. This matter has been studied by our team and has been submitted to the provincial department for approval. According to the district-level special expert treatment standard, a monthly expert allowance of 800 yuan is provided. If you need to travel or accompany the team to handle the case, the travel expenses Let's figure it out. You must not refuse this job. If Wang Laoguan's case is investigated this time according to the normal methods, let alone arresting people, it is hard to say how many clues can be found. But with your guidance, I caught the person easily. This has a huge impact on everyone. If we hadn't tried our best to stop him, I'm afraid the provincial department would have come directly to hire you as an expert."
