Chapter 8 Girl, He's Lying

"You said that the ghost messenger Liu Laosan is lying?"

Lin Buyu looked at Xu Ye in confusion.

"At least not entirely true."

Xu Ye nodded.

"What evidence is there?"

Lin Buyu also became serious at this moment.

"He said that when the ghost attacked, it was Wuchang who blocked him, and then Wuchang blocked the ghost's attack for him, and was seriously injured because of it."

Xu Ye came to the bedside of impermanence.

At this time, most of the impermanence and ghost energy on his body have dissipated, and even if it has not dissipated, it is locked by the nine silver coins and is decreasing little by little.

"What's the problem with that?"

Lin Buyu also walked to the side of the hospital bed at this time.

"That impermanence was standing in front of Liu Laosan to block the blow for him, why is it the rear ankle that was injured?"

Xu Ye pointed to the wound above Wuchang's heel.

This wound no longer oozes blood, but the bloody, bloody, bone-deep horror is still shocking, and around the wound, several sharp claw marks are even more faintly visible.

Lin Buyu frowned after hearing this.

"But why did he lie? It doesn't make sense. If he is afraid of punishment, he doesn't need to mention it at all."

Although doubts also arose in her heart, she still felt that she couldn't judge that Liu Laosan must have lied.

"What if Liu Laosan is not the old Liu Laosan?"

Xu Ye and Lin Buyu looked at each other.

When Lin Buyu heard this, he felt scalp trouble for no reason, and an extremely bad guess welled up in his heart.

"You mean to say that the reason Liu Laosan lied is because he was possessed by a ghost?"

Lin Buyu suddenly became nervous.

"This Liu Laosan is left-handed, right?"

Xu Ye didn't answer the question instead.

"How did you know?"

Lin Buyu looked surprised.

She had been in Mingziying for half a year, so she naturally knew that Liu Laosan was left-handed, but Xu Ye had only met Liu Laosan once, how did she know that?

"This person's left phalanx is much thicker than his right hand, and there is a large callus between the index finger and thumb, which is obviously caused by the frequent use of the left hand to hold the knife."

Xu Ye pointed to his left hand.

"Just met once, and observed so carefully, this kid's eyes are so vicious."

Lin Buyu was secretly startled.

"But what does this have to do with him being possessed by a ghost?"

She questioned Xu Ye.

"When Liu Laosan helped Zhao Wuchang to bed earlier, and beat his chest and feet in self-blame, he used his right hand. The habit of left-handedness can't be changed in a day or two, so it always gives people a sense of incongruity. .”

Xu Ye replied.

When Lin Buyu heard this, he immediately tried to recall it, but found that it seemed to be exactly what Xu Ye said, that Liu Laosan always used his right hand first when doing things.

"Except for his hands, the heel of his right boot was significantly more worn than his left, but his center of gravity was always on his left foot when he took a step."

Xu Ye continued.

Hearing this, Lin Buyu's heart sank completely.

Although her powers of observation are not as good as Xu Ye's, as a Confucian practitioner and doctor, her memory is far superior to that of ordinary people, and she can clearly recall the previous scenes after just a short thought. Therefore, some incongruities and weirdness in Liu Laosan's body are all there. One appeared in her mind.

"Will ghost messengers be possessed too?"

Seeing that Lin Buyu seemed to believe his own deduction, Xu Ye also asked the doubts in his heart at this time.

In fact, he just saw that Liu Laosan lied and saw his incongruity, and didn't think directly about ghost possession. After all, he was just a traveler who had just come to this world not long ago.

"Although ghost messengers are protected by holy objects, they can still be possessed if they have evil thoughts in their hearts before dawn."

Lin Buyu nodded.

"Assuming our deduction is correct, then Liu Laosan was really possessed by a ghost. He did not flee immediately after attacking Wuchang, but followed him to the medical office. This obviously has other plans."

Xu Ye lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head to look at Lin Buyu.

"That goose fish lantern!" Lin Buyu was awakened by Xu Ye's words, "What the marrow eater planned was not to attack and kill Zhao Wuchang, but a third-grade holy object in the Holy Medical Office."

Hearing this, Xu Ye secretly frowned, thinking:
"The Painted Skin Ghost killed Xu's whole family, and the thing in the picture seems to be the sacred object of the Xu family, the ruler. Now this marrow-eating ghost has his eyes on the sacred geese lamp of the Holy Medical Office. Doesn't it mean that the sacred object is a ghost? Is it the nemesis? Why are they all coming to snatch it?"

Although he was full of confusion, Xu Ye didn't have time to ask in the end, because Lin Buyu couldn't stand for a moment after he deduced that Liu Laosan might be possessed by a ghost and was also plotting the goose fish lantern.

"I have to find a way to inform Sun Qiguan and the people in the Holy Medical Office that if the Yanyu lantern is taken by ghosts, the consequences will be disastrous. You just wait here and don't move around indiscriminately."

While telling Xu Ye, Lin Buyu hurried to the door of the room.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Just when Lin Buyu was about to pull the latch to open the door, there was a sudden knock on the door in front of him.

"Miss Silent, we have already borrowed the Yanyu Lantern, and the adults from the Holy Medical Office have also come. We need to see you before we can take out the Yanyu Lantern."

Amidst the knock on the door, Liu Laosan's hasty voice followed.

Lin Buyu instinctively took a step back.

Thinking that the person standing at the door might be a ghost, she was so nervous that she couldn't say a word.

"Miss Silent, Miss Silent, what's wrong with you? Did something happen inside?"

At this time, Liu Laosan's anxious voice sounded again.

Just when Lin Buyu was at a loss and didn't know how to respond, Xu Ye came to her side with gentle steps.

He reached out and patted Lin Buyu's shoulder lightly, then shouted impatiently towards the door:

"What are you yelling about? Miss Lin is dealing with a patient's injury. Are you trying to kill her and this impermanence?"

As soon as this remark came out, the door to door suddenly fell silent, and then the apologetic voice of Liu Laosan came:
"Forgive me, forgive me, it's because I, a vulgar man, didn't think carefully, please treat me with peace of mind, girl without words!"

Hearing this, Lin Buyu, who was originally very nervous, immediately relaxed.

"Thank you."

He whispered his thanks to Xu Ye,
Lin Buyu's expression made Xu Ye feel very cordial.

Because this is very similar to the freshly graduated interns under his previous command, who would be terrified when encountering something.

Seeing that Xu Ye was laughing at himself, Lin Buyu pouted immediately, gave Xu Ye a hard look, and then defended himself angrily:
"I... I'm not afraid, it's just... I just didn't know how to answer!"

"Young master in the room, please tell Silent Girl that his elder brother is here, if you can't handle it, don't force it, I will help her deal with it."

At this moment, another voice came from outside the door.

The voice was gentle and refined, and it sounded like it came from a well-educated scholar.

"Master... um..."

"Shh..."

After hearing this voice, Lin Buyu's worried expression disappeared, and he wanted to respond excitedly, but before he could speak, Xu Ye covered his mouth.

"Miss Silence is at a critical juncture. I will tell her when there is no danger on her side."

Xu Ye covered Lin Buyu's mouth and answered for her.

"Why don't you let me talk to my senior brother?"

Lin Buyu looked at Xu Ye with a bit of annoyance.

"Come and talk."

Xu Ye walked to the window, and waved to Lin Buyu, motioning to stay away from the door.

"Although my elder brother is a Confucian doctor, his cultivation level is extremely high, so it is no problem to deal with that Liu Laosan."

Lin Buyu also wanted to understand Xu Ye's worries at this time, so when he came to the window, he introduced it directly to Xu Ye.

"How can you confirm that among the ghost messengers present, only Liu Laosan is possessed?"

Xu Ye asked without looking back while drawing the curtains.

"This……"

Lin Buyu was at a loss for words for a moment, and the look of fear in his eyes disappeared in a flash.

"Besides, if Liu Laosan dared to come back, and he dared to come back with your senior brother, he must have something to rely on. It would be a fool to expose his identity so rashly and let him run away. What if he has nothing to do? Don't we have to explain everything here for the backhand of everyone present at the scene?"

Xu Ye turned around and looked at Lin Buyu very seriously.

Hearing Xu Ye's words, Lin Buyu's smooth and fair forehead immediately oozes sweat at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Then, what do you say?"

After all, Lin Buyu is just a medical officer, and he rarely deals with things related to ghosts.

"If you believe me, you can do as I tell you."

Xu Ye looked at Lin Buyu with a serious face.
