Thirteen prisons

Chapter 31 Conversation
From her narration, Zhou Yuan could hear that Lin Jing had a very devout admiration for his mother. She said that her mother was very brave and did not give up on herself in the last moments of her life, but instead kept comforting their brothers and sisters.Lin Jing was not very old at the time, but the memory of her mother's death was very clear, and she never forgot it.

"When my mother died, let my brother take good care of me." Lin Jing smiled wryly, "I didn't expect that he..."

"This kind of thing is beyond human ability. You have to be strong and brave like your mother." Zhou Yuan persuaded, while looking at Lin Jing's face, he found that she did not resist talking about this topic, so he continued to ask: "Then you Where's your aunt? Has your mother talked to you?"

Although in Yan Yi's narration, when Li Aihua disappeared mysteriously, Lin Jing was not born yet.But Zhou Yuan still had a little hope, if Li Hongxia had told her daughter, she might be able to ask something from Lin Jing's mouth.

Lin Jing was a little puzzled: "What aunt?"

"Li Aihua, your mother's sister."

Lin Jing shook her head: "My mother never mentioned that she has an older sister."

Her expression didn't look like she was unwilling to mention it, she was simply confused, but Zhou Yuan's heart skipped a beat. Lin Jing didn't need to lie to herself, so there was probably something strange about this matter.He remembered what the old nonsense said, and it seemed true that no matter how true a lie seemed, it would naturally reveal some flaws after a long time.

Thoughts kept flashing in his mind, but Zhou Yuan didn't show it on his face, he just said indifferently: "Oh, it's nothing. I also heard from Mr. Yan that you had an aunt, but your mother passed away when she was very young. "

Lin Jing smiled, and said indifferently: "I don't know, my mother never mentioned it, maybe she didn't want to mention these sad things."

Zhou Yuan nodded in understanding.This is also a possibility, after all Li Aihua disappeared so strangely, no one was alive or dead, and the scene was so tragic, and Lin Jing and Lin He were not born at that time.It is reasonable for Li Hongxia not to mention this matter to her children.I just hope that I am too sensitive and think too much.

Lin Jing didn't know what Zhou Yuan was thinking, but still said cheerfully, "Come here, I'll make a magic trick for you."

"Okay." Zhou Yuan put down the lunch box in his hand, and raised his hands up: "As long as the performance is good, you will definitely not hesitate to applaud!"

Lin Jing took out a shiny thermometer from her backpack and said, "Look at it." Then she pinched the metal probe of the thermometer in her hand.

Zhou Yuan didn't understand what she was going to do, but the next moment she saw the red scale line on the thermometer rising straight up, reaching her head within a few seconds, and then there was a "bang", the thermometer exploded!
The sound of the thermometer bursting was not loud, it just broke with a "poof".Zhou Yuan's reaction was great, and he jumped up from the ground: "Fuck, what's going on?"

If the thermometer can be overheated by Lin Jing's body temperature, how high should her temperature be?At least not less than fifty degrees!
"It's fun." Lin Jing was very satisfied with Zhou Yuan's reaction, and said with a smile, "A little trick on temperature. This thing is actually a cryometer, and the scale is below zero. This is my godfather's collection, and I am too. It was discovered by accident."

It turned out to be a prank, Zhou Yuan wiped off his cold sweat and was speechless.This girl actually used her own body temperature to make such a joke, her personality is really optimistic, I don't know if it is because she grew up abroad.Zhou Yuan instinctively felt that it was not good for her to do this, but he was a little envious of this kind of heartless free and easy, and finally just said softly: "Don't play like this next time. Mercury is poisonous, what should I do if it splashes on my hands?"

"Don't worry. It's not mercury, it's just water vapor under low pressure." Lin Jing patted the glass shards splashed on her body, and said with a smile.

Zhou Yuan was about to say something when he suddenly heard someone calling him.

"Zhou Yuan!" The mountain was very quiet, this time he heard clearly that someone was indeed calling him.Turning around, I saw a person standing on the opposite hillside.

"Lu Ming? Why are you here?" Zhou Yuan felt strange and shouted back.

Lu Ming quickly came down from the slope, and raised a piece of paper in his hand: "Old Yan drew a map for me."

Zhou Yuan suddenly realized that the way they came was a road around the mountain. Although the forest is dense, it is not difficult to find.With Yan Yi drawing a road map, no wonder he was able to find him.

"Is there something urgent for me?" Zhou Yuan was a little puzzled: "We are preparing to go down the mountain, and we will go back in a while." Lin Jing stood aside and did not speak.She met Lu Ming, but she hasn't spoken much in the past two days, so she doesn't know him well.

Lu Ming looked at Lin Jing: "I'm here to find you."

"You... looking for me?" Lin Jing was obviously a little surprised.

Lu Ming felt a little helpless, and explained to Zhou Yuan: "I came to her to ask some questions, because I have to leave tomorrow."

"Why so fast?" Zhou Yuan was surprised.

"There's a call from the hospital. There are a lot of things going on recently. I have to go back and deal with it. I'll ask for leave in a few days." Lu Ming couldn't help it.

Zhou Yuan was a little lost.In fact, he should have thought a long time ago that Lu Ming has his own job, so it is naturally impossible to stay here all the time. This time, he took a few days off temporarily, and it is reasonable to go back, but he did not expect it to be so soon.

"What do you want to ask me, Doctor Lu?" Lin Jing asked with blinking eyes.

Lu Ming looked at them, then waved to Lin Jing: "Take a step to talk." After speaking, he walked aside first.Lin Jing hesitated for a moment, after thinking about it, she followed.

Zhou Yuan watched the two of them walk into the woods one after the other, and felt that Lu Ming's behavior was a bit abnormal.Is there anything you want to ask Lin Jing alone?After this idea came up, he couldn't get rid of it. After thinking for a while, he came up with an idea that he could eavesdrop on their conversation without being discovered.

After about 10 minutes, Lu Ming and Lin Jing came out from behind the woods.Zhou Yuan noticed that Lin Jing's eyes were red, as if she had just cried.

Zhou Yuan was a little surprised: "What's the matter?"

"I want you to take care of it!" Lin Jing raised her eyebrows and gave him a blank look.I don't seem to be in a good mood.

Lu Ming followed behind Lin Jing, his face was gloomy and uncertain, and he was not very good.Seeing Zhou Yuan, he simply said three words: "Let's go down the mountain."

"Wait for me for a few minutes, my stomach hurts." After Zhou Yuan finished speaking, he rushed into the woods and came out after five or six minutes: "Let's go."

When going down the mountain, Lin Jing ignored Zhou Yuan and Lu Ming, and walked ahead with her head sullen.Zhou Yuan whispered to Lu Ming from behind: "What did you guys talk about? She was still happy when she went up the mountain."

"Zhou Yuan, I'm looking for some evidence." Lu Ming is very serious: "Don't ask me yet. Because I don't know if those things are helpful to what I want to know. It's just a guess. Telling it at this time will help you The mood and the next treatment will be affected. When there is a result, I will naturally tell you."

Zhou Yuan thought that if you don't tell me, it will affect me.But Lu Ming is like this. Since he said so, it is definitely useless to ask.But Zhou Yuan knew that he would definitely not harm himself, and in addition to the fact that he secretly used a trick just now, he would find out what they said later.So I shut up and stopped asking.

After returning to the small building, Lin Jing went straight back to the house.Hu Dongdong has not come back yet, Yan Yi explained to Zhou Yuan the method of concocting those herbs and then returned to the laboratory on the second floor.

The process of concocting is not complicated, but a bit cumbersome.Zhou Yuan first scattered the horn roots to dry in the open space, and dried them in the sun for an hour. After the water dries up, put them together in a large iron pot and stir fry them repeatedly.During the stir-frying process, the fishy smell gradually faded, and instead, a sweet fragrance came out.Zhou Yuan played with it seriously, and suddenly remembered what he said when he discussed this thing with Lin Jing in the morning, and an idea came to his mind, since Yan Yi said that this thing works well.Instead, try to see if it can be sold as a local specialty.Although its medicinal properties will volatilize after it dries up, if it is processed first, it may be really feasible.

Anyway, idle here is idle, if it works out, it's better than going back to continue driving black taxis, right?Zhou Yuan didn't have much pursuit of life at first, but after encountering these things recently, he realized how happy the seemingly ordinary life is, and he is much more positive about life.Thinking of this, he worked even harder, and followed the procedures meticulously, until the evening to deal with all the corners according to Yan Yi's requirements.

After dinner, Lu Ming and Yan Yi went back to the second floor to get busy.It took a while for Hu Dongdong to come back.Zhou Yuan dragged him back to the room and told what happened today.

"You won't be jealous, right? Don't think about it, anyway, they don't say anything, so it's useless for you to guess." Lao Hu was also a little curious about Lu Ming's actions, but he didn't take it too seriously.After teasing Zhou Yuan, Lao Hu continued: "I have gained something by going to the town today."

Zhou Yuan smiled and took out his mobile phone: "Let's listen to my harvest first. I have good ears." As he spoke, he pressed the button, and there was a sound of recording playing in the mobile phone.

"You kid can do it!" Old Hu was stunned for a moment, and said with a half-smile: "You still say you're not jealous!"

Zhou Yuan was a little embarrassed, and explained: "I don't have the heart to think about this now. I was just curious about what they said, so I turned on the recording function of my phone and threw it near them."

Lao Hu stopped teasing him and made a gesture to stop talking.

There was a beeping sound from the phone first, then a chaotic sound of wind, and then a thumping sound of the phone falling to the ground.Soon, the conversation between Lu Ming and Lin Jing started to ring out.

"The mentality of suicide can actually be inherited." Lu Ming's voice was a little low, but he could still hear it clearly.

"My mother didn't commit suicide." Lin Jing's voice was not loud, but her tone was firm.

"Then why did you commit suicide?" Lu Ming said.

Zhou Yuan was also listening to this recording for the first time.If he could not hear the sound of air flowing, he would almost suspect that the phone was broken. Fortunately, after about a minute, Lin Jing's voice rang again.

"My brother is gone, and my godfather has worked too hard for me. I can't eat well and sleep well. Sometimes I see him tired, and I really feel like a burden. In addition, the illness was too painful, and all the bad things Thoughts just flooded in like that, that's why..."

"What about now?" Lu Ming asked.

Lin Jing's tone was quite relaxed: "Doctor Lu, I thought I was so stupid at the time. Now that you are here and seeing Zhou Yuan, I know I can't do such stupid things again. My disease is genetic, but Zhou Yuan is not, He is innocent, I don't know why my brother...why did that, I will try my best to help you, let Zhou Yuan recover as soon as possible, and lead a normal life."

Zhou Yuan was so moved by Lin Jing's words that he almost shed tears, Lao Hu also patted him on the shoulder, and praised, "This girl has a good heart."

"If you can say that, I'm relieved. There may still be pain in the future treatment, I hope you can persevere." Lu Ming seemed to pause intentionally, and then slowly said, "The one I told you before What do you think about it?"

Lin Jing's voice suddenly became louder: "Doctor Lu, I was raised by my godfather. He is just like my father. Although he has a weird temper, he is the best person I have ever met."

Lu Ming seemed to be moving, and there was a sound of footsteps coming from the tape recorder, and then he said: "Lin Jing, I don't force you, I just hope you think again."

"Don't think about it." Lin Jing seemed very determined.

Lu Ming sighed: "Okay, this is the end of the conversation. But I hope that no matter what happens in the future, you must hold on and never give up on yourself like your brother!"

Lin Jing hummed unhappily, and then Lu Ming seemed unwilling to give up and said again: "If you think about it, come to me anytime."

Then came the sound of footsteps walking farther and farther away, until the entire audio was played, and there was no other dialogue.

Old Hu frowned: "What the hell is this kid Lu Ming doing? Why does it sound like he's secretly looking for Lin Jing? Has he taken a fancy to Lin Jing?"

"Don't be kidding." Zhou Yuan analyzed: "Lu Ming said he had an idea, but it has not been confirmed, so he can't tell me now. But this makes me nervous. Every time Lu Ming does this, the last thing he brings It's bad news..." And this is eavesdropping, it's even worse to ask in person.In short, it is still the same sentence, Lu Ming has no reason to lie to himself, as long as he knows this.

"By the way, what did you discover today?" Zhou Yuan changed the subject.No wonder Lao Hu ran to the town early this morning, presumably Lao Hu took him to the street for dinner yesterday, and he planned to go to the town to inquire and investigate at that time.

Old Hu's expression became serious: "Do you think the martial arts story that Yan Yi said is true?"
