Bianjing female doctor has a melon-eating system

Chapter 42 Acrostic Poem

The maid called Hong'er responded: "Yes, Doctor Ji is here."

Ji Yutang followed her into the room, carefully looking for anything suspicious as he walked. The overall feeling in the room was that it was extremely depressing and dark, with only the tallow oil lamp emitting a misty light, which seemed to suddenly go out in the next second, plunging the entire room into darkness. And because the windows were locked tightly, the smell inside was also complex.

"Doctor Ji, please diagnose and treat my daughter. You don't have to worry about the payment." Meng Sanlang moved his body and walked out of the shadows. A shallow light shone on his face, allowing Ji Yutang to see clearly.

Meng Sanlang has a typical simple and honest appearance, with a bit of a nod and a bow. Maintaining this humble posture for many years has deformed his spine and made him unable to stand up straight.

"Where's the daughter?" Ji Yutang asked. Until she stepped into the house, she had not seen Mrs. Meng.

"Hey, my daughter is weak and can't stand the cold. She is resting in the innermost room. Please come with me, the miracle doctor." Meng Sanlang opened a hidden door and waved to Ji Yutang.

Ji Yutang's heart rang with alarm bells, no, why does this look so much like a secret room? Whose decent person sleeps in a secret room?

"Miracle doctor, please." Hong'er made an invitation gesture.

Ji Yutang silently recited three times in his heart "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch the tiger's cubs" and various "Tathagata Buddha bless you", then he followed in tremblingly. Thinking that it would be a big mistake, he took out the dagger hidden in his trousers and fought with them!
  However, Ji Yutang's dagger was useless, and there was no danger inside. The decoration in this small room is warmer and brighter than outside, like a young lady's boudoir, but the windows are also locked and airtight.

Ji Yutang noticed Mrs. Meng lying on the bed. Her face was sickly pale, her eyes were closed, her hair was disheveled, and her chin was buried in a thick quilt.

"What disease does Qian Yuan have? I see that she is wrapped up so tightly and the room is locked tightly. Does she have cold syndrome?" Ji Yutang asked Meng Sanlang.

"Alas, it's not a cold syndrome, and... alas." Meng Sanlang walked to Mrs. Meng's side and pulled away the thick quilt, "I really don't know what to say. You can see for yourself, the miracle doctor."

Ji Yutang took a closer look and saw that Meng Meng's body was tightly bound with hemp rope under the quilt. No wonder she looked strange.

"Why were she tied up?" Ji Yutang asked.

Meng Sanlang sat tiredly on the edge of the bed, stretched out his hand to roll up Mrs. Meng's sleeves, revealing the dense scars on her arms.

"There was nothing unusual about my daughter originally. She was just weak since she was a child. It was a weakness brought about by abortion. It was nothing. She just had to take care of her for the rest of her life. But starting two years ago, she suddenly became neurotic. , always felt that someone would harm her, she started to be photophobic, self-mutilated, scratched and scratched when she got sick, and no one recognized her. I went to countless doctors, but they all said there was no cure, and some said it was rabies, so I tried Even after treating it for a while, it had no effect.”

Could it be depression? Ji Yutang secretly speculated and asked Meng Sanlang: "Was it two years ago? Did something happen? The daughter's illness should be a heart disease, and we need to find out where the disease is."

Meng Sanlang was stunned for a moment, with a strange look on his face: "Something happened two years ago. My daughter was molested by a bastard in the street..."

At this point, Meng Sanlang's voice weakened: "But I taught that bastard a lesson, and my daughter didn't behave strangely at that time."

"With all due respect, young ladies have more delicate minds than us rough guys, so we don't pay attention to many things, but they are a huge problem. Can the daughter stay awake? Can she be called? Wake her up and let me ask questions?" Ji Yutang suspected that she was being teased and couldn't think about it.

Meng Sanlang shook his head: "She rarely wakes up now. She fell asleep after drinking tranquilizer." "Then let me take her pulse." Ji Yutang said, putting his hand on Madam Meng's wrist. , the melon-eating system then popped up a series of gossip.

[Mrs. Meng is pretending to be ill, she is in good spirits. 】

Malingering? Why? Ji Yutang asked the system in his heart.

The system did not answer, but randomly updated several other pieces of gossip. This is also the shortcoming of this melon-eating system, which makes the information obtained by the host uncontrollable.

[Mengzi hated her father Meng Sanlang very much, even with hatred. She could not retaliate against her father, so she chose to hurt him by self-mutilation. 】

[Meng Mengzi once had a lover, a young man from a poor family. Meng Sanlang beat the two lovers with a stick and firmly opposed them. In order to prove that he could give Lady Meng a future, the young man chose to go to sea with others to do business. As a result, he was swept away by the big waves and his body was not found. 】

Ji Yutang took back his hand and sorted out the gossip information. It seems that Mrs. Meng did not hesitate to hurt herself just to go against her father, which is why she is now dying. But why does she always feel that there is something weird here.

"Miracle doctor, have you diagnosed anything?" Meng Sanlang asked.

Ji Yutang shook his head and sighed, pretending to be mysterious: "I also want to take a look at some of the objects that Mrs. Meng comes into contact with, which may reveal some of her thoughts and knots."

Meng Sanlang quickly asked Hong'er to help find the things that Mrs. Meng often came into contact with, which were some embroidery, books, and things like rouge and gouache.

Ji Yutang actually wanted to look for any clues left by the abducted woman so that she could accuse Meng Sanlang of crimes, so she looked through them very carefully.

When she looked through the jewelry box, Ji Yutang stopped. Her heart was pounding nervously because she clearly saw a flower note on the bottom layer of the jewelry box, with an acrostic poem written on it: The city is full of rong flowers, the flowers speak of my love for you, the fragrance of cherry blossoms spreads for thousands of miles, the ripe fruits look forward to your love, I spread Xue Tao's notes to keep your love.

Rong Niang, Hua Yu, Ying'er, Xiao Guozi, Zhang Niangzi, Liu Niangzi (Liu has the same pronunciation as Liu). These are the young ladies who disappeared in the first six cases!
  "Miracle doctor?"

Ji Yutang trembled, quickly closed the jewelry box, and said calmly: "From these items of Mrs. Meng's, we can see that she easily hides her worries in her heart."

"Yes, yes, she is no longer willing to talk to me about her worries when she gets older. Alas, it's a pity that I am illiterate and don't know any poetry or songs, so I can't talk to her together." Meng Sanlang said melancholy.

"So this is a typical depression that requires strong medicine to relieve it. I happen to have a pill in my medicine box. Grind it into powder and mix it with warm water. Give it to Qingyuan first and see if there is any relief." Ji Yutang instructed. Hong'er went out to pour hot water, then sent Meng Sanlang away to let him go out to find something for grinding pills.

While the two of them were separated, Ji Yutang quickly opened the bottom layer of the jewelry box and stuffed the flower note into his clothes. After doing this, she knocked carefully to see if there were any hidden compartments.

At this moment, a figure slowly approached from behind Ji Yutang. It was Meng Sanlang who had turned back midway! There was a fierce light in his eyes, which looked particularly terrifying under the dim light of the butter lamp.

Ji Yutang suddenly felt that the hair on his head stood on end, secretly thinking that something was wrong. Before she could react, Meng Sanlang quickly and firmly covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief. Ji Yutang struggled twice and then fainted, falling to the ground with a muffled "plop" sound.
