Thirteen prisons

Chapter 35 Forest Farm
After Zhou Yuan was dragged back into the room by Lao Hu, he lay on the bed without saying a word, wondering whether he was in a daze or thinking about something.Lao Hu had no choice but to call Lu Ming first and tell him about the accident that happened to Lin Jing.

Lu Ming was also extremely surprised when he heard such a sudden change. After he inquired about the specific situation of Lin Jing's symptoms at that time, he was silent for a long time before asking Lao Hu what his plans were.

The barbecue restaurant that Lao Hu opened in Beiyang City is doing well, and he hired someone to take care of it. Usually, he just manages the accounts and drinks with familiar customers.This kind of small restaurant that accepts cash is all handed over to others. If Lao Hu is away for a long time, it is inevitable that the people below will have some ideas, and the income will definitely drop.But Lao Hu doesn't care about this, and he is single, so it's not a big problem even if he stays in Daba Town for a long time.The same is true for Zhou Yuan, unlike Lu Ming who is busy every day, staying here for a while will not have much impact.

But the question is, is there still a need to stay here?
They came to Daba Town because Zhou Yuan's physical condition was very unstable. At that time, Yan Yi gave them their only hope.But a series of things happened after they came here beyond their expectation, and the sudden outbreak of Lin Jing's condition made Lao Hu even more disappointed in Yan Yi.Although I don't know why Yan Yi wanted Zhou Yuanlai, but from the current point of view, it seems that Yan Yi really didn't hide anything, but was simply helpless.From this point of view, there is no point in continuing to stay, it is better to go to the provincial hospital for examination as soon as possible, it is better than letting Zhou Yuan stay in such a remote place and wait for death.

But on the other hand, with Zhou Yuan's current performance, he would definitely not just leave Lin Jing behind like this.After all, he is the patient, and the final decision on what to do depends on what he thinks.Moreover, Lao Hu feels that maybe some clues can be obtained from other places, and some other information about this disease can be traced.

After listening to Lao Hu's analysis, Lu Ming thought about it for a while, and finally decided to stay.He'll take another leave of absence and come over as soon as possible.One of his important reasons is that there are no precedents for all the symptoms of this disease. Even if you go to a large hospital, there is a great possibility that you will not find any problems like in Beiyang Central Hospital, and you can only let it go. .Although Yan Yi's words are not entirely true, one thing is certain, that is, the source of the disease comes from the brothers and sisters of the Lin family.

"Lin Jing's appearance of such an abnormality means that the speed of the lesion has accelerated. But from a certain point of view, it is not entirely a bad thing. Because the red substance that appeared on Lin Jing's body is a typical lesion feature, this is a road to find the lesion. If you can find out what it is, and then seek the root treatment, then there is hope for this disease to be cured. I still need to make some preparations here. When I come here, even if I don’t rely on Yan Yi, maybe I can Find the key to the disease."

Lu Ming's analysis made sense, and Lao Hu finally agreed with his suggestion.

After hanging up the phone, seeing Zhou Yuan still lying in a daze with blank eyes, Lao Hu pulled him up.

"Zhou Yuan, do you want to save Lin Jing?" Lao Hu said seriously.

Hearing Lin Jing's name, Zhou Yuan finally reacted; "Of course! It's just..."

Old Hu interrupted him directly: "That's good. Then take action. Go out with me tomorrow."

"Where are you going?" Zhou Yuan thought that Lao Hu just wanted to comfort himself, find something for himself to do, and was a little absent-minded.

"Lao Song called me today." Lao Hu added, "It turned out to be my colleague at the police station. You should still remember it?"

Zhou Yuan sat up.He nodded.Of course, Lao Song remembered that the night Lin He spontaneously ignited, it was Lao Song who brought another policeman to find him in the Internet cafe, and it was Lao Song who came to inform him that the suspicion was released later in the hospital.

"Although Lao Song does not agree with my pursuit, he has been helping me. Today he told me some investigation results. We ignored this clue before, but I have a hunch that if we continue to investigate, we may find some useful information, maybe It will help to solve the strange disease on you and Lin Jing."

"What clue?" Zhou Yuan pulled himself together, and what Lao Hu said didn't sound like a simple comfort to himself.

"Lin He." Lao Hu said the name, paused before continuing: "Although he is dead, many things are closely related to him. Do you still remember that he once left something on the wall of the rental house?" Are there any traces? Although it is impossible to know what he said. But I think his behavior is a bit strange.

Zhou Yuan thought for a while, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.He remembered the incident in the Internet cafe. Lin He had written a dirty word on the renminbi as if venting. Lao Hu probably didn't know this detail, but it was in line with Lao Hu's speculation just now.

"So, I think if we find out what Lin He did before his death, maybe we will find out."

Zhou Yuan felt that what Lao Hu said was very reasonable, but he felt that this matter was very difficult: "Lin He died in Beiyang City, more than 1000 kilometers away from here. It seems that he went to Beiyang without any specific purpose, more like a random accident. Yes. Does anyone know where else he went before he died?"

Lao Hu nodded: "That's true. But today Lao Song told me about a place. Before going to Beiyang, Lin He stayed in a guest house in a forest farm for a month. We will go there tomorrow."

"Okay, where is this place? Northeast?" Zhou Yuan immediately agreed, and when the word "forest farm" was mentioned, his first reaction was in the Northeast.

"No. The forest farm is nearby, not far from Daba Town." Lao Hu's answer surprised Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan realized that this is the Daba Mountain area, and it is not surprising that there are forest farms.But I still have some doubts: "By the way, doesn't he have a history of mental illness? Going to the deep mountains alone for a while is indeed something that a madman would do."

"It's hard to say whether he is mentally ill or not. It's just a proof." Lao Hu sneered, "Zhou Yuan, you have seen Lin He too. He is not completely insane. Even if he does have mental illness Illness does not mean that everything he does is illogical. The forest farm guest house is surrounded by primeval forests, and Lin He actually stayed alone for a month in such a remote place, it must not be for cultivating his sentiments."

Before Lin He died, he deliberately chose a deserted place like Shibaligang, which showed that he really did not intend to take revenge on the society.But this can't explain why he lied to Xiaoqing and killed her.Thinking about it now, Zhou Yuan felt more and more that Lin He's behavior was full of contradictions, as if there was a hidden explanation
"Lin Jing's condition is so bad now, we have to go here, and it's best to find some clues about this disease. This way, when Lu Ming comes over, even if Yan Yi doesn't help us, we can study it by ourselves. After finishing his conclusion, Lao Hu sighed: "I don't know how long Lin Jing can delay like this."

Zhou Yuan was speechless, and nodded silently: "We will set off early tomorrow morning."

Lao Hu was about to wash up when he suddenly thought of something: "Almost forgot, Lu Ming has something else to tell you on the phone. He has analyzed the horn root you gave him last time. Medicine The effect is really good, and there are no side effects. He said that the idea you told him last time should be feasible. The problem of maintaining the efficacy of the medicine is easy to solve. It can be directly made into a finished product, not necessarily a plaster. He suggested that it can be made into a topical application Form. As for positioning, it definitely cannot be made into a medicine, but it can be a topical health care product.”

This should be considered good news, but Zhou Yuan is not in the mood to think about it now, so he just nodded.He had made up a temporary idea before, thinking that he could try a new way of life after his illness was cured, but he didn't expect that he was still too optimistic.As for the matter of Jiao Ergen, let's talk about it when everything gets better.
-
The straight-line distance from the forest farm to Daba Town is not too far, but the mountain road is rugged, and it took more than an hour to get there by minibus.The two traveled smoothly, and soon found the Red Star Forest Farm.

The guest house in this forest farm is bigger than they imagined, with two floors and a total of ten rooms.After chatting with the manager of the guest house, they learned that the forest farm was originally owned by the state, and the guest house itself was only for the convenience of forestry personnel.Ten years ago, this guest house was contracted, and it has been developed into a tourist attraction. Although there are not many ordinary tourists, the forest farm’s revenue in recent years is mainly from some customers who love hunting. animal.This group doesn't care about spending money, and many people come here from Chengdu or even Chongqing.In addition to accommodation, the guest house also sells some local specialties, so although it is in the mountains, the annual income is not bad.

Hu Dongdong gave full play to his communication skills, and quickly became friends with the person in charge with a meal of wine and two cigarettes.This buddy is also very forthright. After drinking a meal, he and the two were quite speculative. Hearing them ask about Lin He, he called his wife on the spot at the wine table, who is the foreman who manages the lobby. Condition.

After a search, Zhou Yuan and the others were pleasantly surprised to find that the records of Lin He's stay here were indeed there, and he was indeed here, but the room he was in had been redecorated, and there could be nothing in the room he lived in. remain.This result was expected, after all, after several months.

But since they came, they didn't give up immediately.After continuing to question, the owner of the guest house gave a piece of information that caught the attention of Zhou Yuan and Lao Hu.

Although Lin He lived here for a month, he often left early and returned late, and sometimes he didn't come back for two or three days. Fortunately, his rent was enough, and although there were people hunting in the nearby forest farm, there were no wild animals. , They are all rabbits and pheasants that are not threatening, so although his whereabouts are strange, the people in the guest house didn't pay much attention, and never asked where he went.However, the owner of the hostel said with certainty that every time he went out, he always went to the mountain next to the forest farm.

After the meal, at the request of Lao Hu, the owner of the hostel personally took them to see the room where Lin He lived at that time, pointed out the window and said, "Well, he always goes that way every time."

There is no special place outside the window, it is a virgin forest, and there are continuous mountains behind it.

Zhou Yuan looked at the towering green mountains in a daze, and Lao Hu suddenly said behind his back: "Is that direction the Huaguang Machinery Factory that Yan Yi mentioned?"

Zhou Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he scolded himself for being unresponsive. It's because Lao Hu has experience, so he immediately thought of this. It seems that this is probably the key to Lin He's living here.

The owner of the guest house was a little surprised: "Hey, do you know where it is?"

Lao Hu remained calm, and handed over a cigarette. The man took a puff and said with some emotion: "That place has long been deserted. Is the person you are looking for crazy? Go to that kind of ghost place."

"Damn place? It seems that people here seldom go there." Lao Hu asked seemingly casually.

"Hey, you outsiders may not know. That place used to be a third-line factory, and there was a big armament warehouse. It was just that during the Cultural Revolution, there were violent fights and many people died. Later, the whole factory was abandoned, and even The original forest farm has been abandoned. Now our hostel is built on the outskirts of the original address, there is still a distance from there. People here call that place the old forest farm. That kind of place is very dark, and almost no one will visit it. go."

Seeing that he had a clue, Zhou Yuan couldn't help himself, so he hurriedly asked him to explain in detail.The owner of the hostel shook his head, seeing that they might have intentions to go there, so he seriously warned that there was a flash flood in the mountains recently, and the road to the old forest farm was cut off, and it was impossible to get through.He also kindly persuaded them to give up this idea, because it was not a good place.

Hu Dongdong was not in a hurry, he just chuckled: "It seems quite unfortunate."

"There's a mountain road, although it's a bit farther..." The boss's wife interrupted suddenly.

"Go to hell? What are you talking nonsense, old woman? There are many mountains and rains, and the road is dangerous and slippery. Are you responsible for the accident?" The owner of the guest house had already drunk a little too much, so he started to curse in a hurry.Although he was a little drunk, he had good intentions.Lao Hu played tricks on Zhou Yuan and stopped mentioning this matter.

They stayed in the guest house that night.The mobile phone signal in the mountain was very poor, so they got through with great difficulty. The two told Lu Ming about the situation. Lu Ming also agreed that they should go to the site of the machinery factory to take a look, but they had to pay attention to ensuring safety.

After dinner, Hu Dongdong went to the boss's wife in private, said something nice, and then bought some wild products such as pickled rabbits from the guest house.Seeing that Lao Hu was so polite, the woman began to shirk, but finally couldn't help Lao Hu's soft-heartedness, and found them a chef in the guest house, a local man in his 30s.Because he often went to the mountains to pick wild vegetables and mushrooms, he discovered that road.

When the chef heard that he was asked to lead the way, his first reaction was to refuse.In the end, Old Hussie handed over 200 yuan, and then he was relieved.Although Zhou Yuan and Lao Hu were determined to take this trip no matter whether he agreed or not, having someone as a guide undoubtedly saved a lot of trouble.
