Lian Gouluo leaned close to Qin Feng's ear and said, "This old man has a lot of resentment."
"I feel it," Qin Feng raised his eyebrows, "It seems we have found the right place."
Mr. Li was not in good health. After shouting these words, he put his hands on the table and coughed so hard that his beard was trembling.
"...Cheng Er has been honest for a while since he came back," Li Langzhong gasped, "At least I thought he was honest."
"Cheng Er has a lot of minor problems, but I'm getting older, and all the apprentices in the medical clinic have gone out to start their own businesses. Cheng Er can stay here with me and help with odd jobs."
"I gained a pair of eyes in vain," Mr. Li's anger was palpable. "I didn't know until Cheng Er replaced the medicinal materials with defective ones and made trouble."
"Who made the fuss?" Wei Xi interrupted Li Langzhong's story.
Li Langzhong was stunned for a moment, "The old man didn't remember it for many years..."
"I wanted to drive him out. Cheng Er begged me, saying that he stole the medicinal materials to save people. At that time, Tangkou Town no longer produced much gold sand, and there were fewer and fewer people in the town."
"I asked him who he was saving? He said he was saving a beggar. He said he wanted to treat illnesses and save people like me."
"I... I'm so confused! I haven't even thought about it. With Cheng Er's kind of mind, how could he save a beggar?"
"Cheng Er took me to see the beggar. The beggar's wrists were all worn out and the wrist bones were exposed. Cheng Er told me that the beggar he picked up from the street had poor medical skills and didn't have much money. Now he is suppressing the beggar. The Master is panic-stricken and he can’t find anyone to help him.”
Lian Goulu stood up and Qin Feng glanced at him, who was pacing in the room.
"I bandaged the beggar's wound and prescribed medicine. I told Cheng Er that I couldn't ignore his stealing the medicine. If the beggar is cured, you two should get out of here!"
"A pregnant woman with dystocia was brought in at night. I couldn't handle it by myself, so I asked Cheng Er to help."
"Cheng Er and that beggar live in a wing in the backyard of the hospital. I went to call him, and I saw him through the crack of the door..."
"I saw Cheng Er carving out the beggar's flesh."
Wei Xi and the three of them all looked at the panting Li Langzhong.
"Are you sure?" Qin Feng's eyebrows were twisted, "With all due respect, how old were you at that time? You will always get a little dazzled as you get older..."
Wei Xi lowered his head, and Lian Gouai coughed.
"Little girl, I hope I'm wrong," Li Langzhong hammered the table, "I still remember the blood that slipped from the knife."
"What did you do, or rather," Wei Xi raised an eyebrow, "What did Cheng County Cheng do? You said he repaid kindness with enmity."
Li Langzhong looked at Wei Xi with his turbid eyes, "Cheng Er, he threatened me! Who gave him the courage! He threatened me, saying that he would tell the whole town that I imprisoned this beggar!"
"Li Langzhong, according to what you said, Cheng Er was kicked out of the shop again and again, and he was still hanging out with the gangsters." Lian Goupu stopped at the cabinet where Li Langzhong was stacked with medical books. "What he said, the people in the town Do you believe it?"
"If the gold is in his hands, everyone in Tangkou Town will believe him." Li Langzhong cracked his mouth and exposed his gums.
"Cheng Er is a monk!"
Now the expressions of Wei Xi and the other three people became a little strange. Qin Feng looked at the expressions of Wei Xi and Lian Goupi before speaking this time.
Seeing that Wei Xi didn't respond, Qin Feng said, "Monk? Cheng County Cheng, we have met him, he doesn't look like a monk."
"Cheng Er turned the beggar's meat into gold. Tangkou Town only has gold. Without gold, what will we people do?"
"I can only tolerate that bastard turning that beggar into gold bit by bit in my medical clinic!"
Lian Gouyi showed an unbearable expression.
Not only him, but also Wei Xi and Qin Feng couldn't help but feel unfortunate for what happened to the beggar.
"...One beggar was not enough, so he went to the county government and used some means to sacrifice the river," Li Langzhong said bitterly. "Then he threatened me and asked me to close the hospital. Pavilion!"
"He had already controlled the entire Tangkou Town at that time, so I had no choice but to close the medical clinic." Mr. Li started coughing again.
"You three, I don't care what your purpose is. I only know one thing. As long as that bastard Cheng Er has a hard time, I will be happy!" Li Langzhong said in a sinister tone, "Now, get out!"
"Old man, stop being angry, you can live for two more years!" Lian Gou Ni backed away like a frightened rabbit.
Wei and Xi were obviously not welcome. Qin Feng pulled Lian Goulu's sleeves and the three of them walked out.
"Do you think this doctor's words are credible?" Qin Feng tied up Gao Han, "He said that Cheng Xian Cheng is a monk and the law of heaven suppresses him. How can a monk harm a non-monk?"
"Wen Dao Hall's courses," Lian Gouyi added, "unless he wants to be shocked."
Naturally, Wei Xi would not accept everything Li Langzhong said. Mr. Li has laid so much groundwork, all about the bad conduct of Cheng County Cheng.
Sorry, Wei Xi doesn't need to know much about this part.
"Beggars," Wei Xi whispered, "that's why there are no beggars in Tangkou Town, and there are still those patients!"
"Gold, Mr. Li said... turned into gold. That's why there are not many people in Tangkou Town, the rumors of not getting sick, and those corpses!"
"What do you mean?" Qin Feng paused, "You mean, they are sacrifices?"
"Yesterday Wei Xi went to Huanhe and saw not all the sacrifices."
The three of them said that this was inappropriate on the street. Wei Xi was still sorting out his thoughts, and the three of them returned to the inn.
"We still have five unvoiced notes to use," Qin Feng rummaged through his pockets, "I hope we can leave Tangkou Town before we run out."
"Probably, we have two days to go to the river."
"Wei Xi," Qin Feng sat on the edge of the bed and leaned over to support his arms, "Do you have any ideas?"
"You didn't even ask me a question?" Lian Gouyi looked at Qin Feng in disbelief.
"Lian Goupi, what do you think?" Qin Feng closed his eyes and asked.
"I do," Lian Gouyu said with a smile, "Wei Xi, what do you think?"
"I don't know what method Cheng County Cheng used to bring the gold back to Tangkou Town by offering sacrifices to the river." Wei Xi said with narrowed eyes.
"Apart from the sacrifices I saw in the house yesterday, the most important thing is... people. I'm afraid that beggar is the first sacrifice."
"But Mr. Li didn't tell the truth. He was not threatened. He was an accomplice, or in other words, he was an accomplice..." Wei Xi's voice became softer and softer.
Qin Feng was still waiting for Wei Xi to finish speaking, "Why don't you say anything anymore?"
"This is just a guess," Wei Xi's tone was doubtful, "After all, he was so angry and stayed in Tangkou Town and never left..."
"You can guess right." Lian Gouyu revealed two herbs in his palm, "Wei Xi, were these two herbs you saw in Huanhe yesterday?"
