It was noon in a blink of an eye, and the blazing sun hung high in the sky.
Pei Wende finally got rid of the conversation between the two elders and came to the main hall to help his senior brother.
Then he saw his senior brother sitting on the reading table with a helpless face, and kneeling in front of him was an old servant with tears streaming down his face and a haggard expression.
"Senior brother?"
Carefully getting into the crowd of pilgrims, Pei Wende said hello to Huiji.
"Huh? You came just in time!"
Seeing Pei Wende suddenly appear, Hui Ji immediately spoke as if she had seen a savior.
"Old man, please stop crying and get up quickly."
"My junior brother is here. If you have anything specific to say to him."
So, Pei Wende was pulled over by Huiji with a confused look on his face, and then left the crowded crowd with the haggard-looking old man.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
After half a stick of incense, I was in a room in the backyard of Tongqing Temple.
After taking over the hot potato from Huiji, Pei Wende finally calmed down the old servant who was still wiping tears.
"Old man, if you have anything, you can tell me directly."
While softly comforting the old man, he thoughtfully handed over various teas and snacks...
Pei Wende had long been accustomed to this kind of situation. Only after the old man calmed down a little did he start asking in detail what happened.
After all, those who come to the temple for help are basically desperate.
Whether it was really a dead horse being treated as a living horse doctor, or whether there was some evil ghost at home, Pei Wende felt that he had an obligation to learn more about it.
In fact, this was the reason why Huiji decisively handed the old man into his hands after seeing him.
Hui Ji, who has a strong personality and hot temper, is really not suitable to play this role of "listener", and she is not good at comforting this crying old man.
Rather than listening and comforting, Huiji is better at solving manufacturing problems directly.
On the other hand, Pei Wende, despite his usually free-spirited character, is actually one of the few people who can seriously play the role of "listener".
"Little master, you must save my little husband's life!"
After a long time, the old man who finally stopped sobbing embarrassedly wiped away his tears and began to talk about the difficulties he encountered.
"I am the housekeeper of Yuan He's family at the foot of the mountain."
"This time I went to the mountain to ask for help from several masters. I was really desperate."
Maybe it's because I've cried enough before, or maybe it's because Pei Wende is now famous...
When the old man was talking to him now, he no longer burst into tears like when he faced Hui Ji before, and his words were a bit more logical.
The old man was the housekeeper of He Yuanwai's family at the foot of the mountain. Because he saved Yuanwai He's life when he was young, he was given his surname and took the surname He from his master's family.
In Butler He's description, apart from the title of servant, he is actually just like a relative of the He family.
From the old man of the He family to the children of the He family, no one regards the He family as an outsider.
Especially the young master of the He family, who had the closest relationship with him, directly called him "Uncle He".
There were some things that were inconvenient to be discussed with Mr. He, but the young master of the He family told Mr. He without any concealment, completely treating him as one of his elders.
In addition, Butler He had no children, and over time he regarded the young master of the He family as half his son.
Therefore, after the young master of the He family got into trouble, apart from Mr. He and Mrs. He, the most anxious one was probably the housekeeper He.
"So, your little husband is possessed by an evil spirit?"
Being "possessed by evil spirits" is not a rare thing in this era, and Pei Wende has been exposed to it a lot during this period.
It's just that most of the time, what ordinary people see as "poisoning" is just some common diseases such as brain pain and fever, rather than real evil.
Due to the limitations of this era, ordinary people did not know that it was a disease, so they classified it as "evil".
When doctors can't cure the disease, they will put their hope in Taoist monks, hoping that they can save their family members.
Among the many "poisoned" incidents that Pei Wende has been exposed to, there are only a few that are truly possessed so far.
Among those non-possessed incidents, the one closest to being possessed is a maniac who pretends to be a ghost.
It was only in the end that Pei Wende realized that the guy was actually mentally ill and not possessed by an evil spirit as the villagers said.
"Yes, Mr. Xiao Lang must be possessed by evil spirits."
He nodded with a firm tone, and Butler He was very sure that it was a sign of being possessed by evil spirits.
In the description given by Butler He, the young master of the He family is called He Qinfeng. He was originally a good boy who was honest and dedicated to studying, and was completely different from those spoiled playboys.
But since one day a month ago, He Qinfeng's personality suddenly changed.
Not only did he no longer study seriously and obtain fame, he even lost the filial piety to his parents as before, and repeatedly contradicted them with his words.
However, not long after, He Qinfeng would forget all his previous actions and become a good boy in the eyes of his parents again.
This huge difference in personality changes was naturally seen and remembered by other people in the He family.
So they asked doctors to ask for doctors, and asked for magicians to ask for magicians. The He family tried almost every method they could think of to cure He Qinfeng's "madness."
"It doesn't seem to be cured? But it might be more serious?"
Pei Wende was not surprised by Butler He's description.
Because He Qinfeng's illness was really cured, Butler He would not come to Tongqing Temple for help today.
Regardless of whether He Qinfeng was really possessed by evil spirits or simply suffered from mental illness, after all this trouble, the situation would definitely become more serious than before.
This also confirmed from the side that Butler He burst into tears before.
After all, if He just maintains his original appearance, although He Qinfeng's condition is serious, it is far from the level that requires "life-saving".
"Yes, if the young man can still stay awake for a few hours a day."
"Then since he was treated, he can only wake up for as long as a stick of incense at dusk."
Although Butler He's words did not reveal any obvious negative emotions, it was not difficult for Pei Wende to feel his anger towards those quack doctors and magicians from the few words he said.
"I see."
Nodding thoughtfully, Pei Wende instinctively felt that He Qinfeng's condition seemed not as simple as what Butler He had described.
This can be seen from the way the other party dares not look directly into his eyes when speaking, as well as the seeming pauses and reflections while speaking.
"Then what did you mean when you said he needed help?"
After it was determined that Butler He was hiding something, this became the biggest question in Pei Wende's mind.
He Qinfeng's current situation is obviously not just a simple split personality or mental disorder. It seems that there is something else that is endangering his life.
"Xiao Langjun, he...he..."
Hearing Pei Wende's question, Butler He, who had been speaking freely, suddenly showed hesitation.
However, considering He Qinfeng's safety, he had already made up his mind and told a fact that shocked Pei Wende.
"Xiao Langjun, his body is rotting, and then he is slowly turning into a monster!"
