husband from hell

Chapter 162 Yin Qi Iron Sand
"Does he have a sweet smell?" Doctor Ma stared at me fixedly with his eyes hidden behind the tortoise shell glasses frame, and said, "That smell makes you feel sick and want to vomit after smelling it? "

I nodded quickly: "That's right, it's that person! Do you know that person?"

"Changsheng..." Doctor Ma swept his eyes towards me.

Cheng Ke's eyes became alert all of a sudden, and he couldn't help protecting himself in front of me again, staring at Doctor Ma, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Excuse me, what's wrong with Changsheng?"

"You understand for yourself." Doctor Ma's indifferent appearance was obviously not afraid of Cheng Ke at all, and with his eyes, he met Cheng Ke without avoiding it.

I am most afraid of Cheng Ke's appearance, as if he can fight with someone every minute.

"Longevity is really not with me!" Seeing that there was a misunderstanding, I quickly said, "Doctor Ma, why don't you tell me who that person is?"

"I know that person." Dr. Ma opened the turtle mark in my hand, looked at it carefully, and said slowly: "I bought that incense stick from me! But... he called What's the name... Let me think about it, it seems to be some kind of pot."

"What pot?"

It was an unheard of name.

I quickly looked up at Cheng Ke, Cheng Ke frowned and shook his head slightly.

He has never heard of it...

I looked at Mrs. Liu again, but Mrs. Liu pretended not to hear, and deliberately raised her eyes to look at the pomegranate tree.

Forget it, this is a clue anyway, so I quickly jotted it down: "He... who is he?"

"I'm not his father, how do I know, probably, I'm a freak who thinks about immortality all day long." Doctor Ma raised his slack eyelids to stare at the turtle in my hand, and changed the topic: " It can be done, but this is not easy, you have to stay here for a few days."

If this thing stays on me, it will definitely be a big trouble. Anyway, according to the old janitor's suggestion, I have to hide for a few days now, so I quickly nodded and agreed.

"Follow me in." Doctor Ma led me into the room, and Cheng Ke followed in. Looking around the room, I saw many strange horns hanging on one side of the wall.

Horns, goat horns, reindeer horns, rhino horns, all kinds of horns are available. It is estimated that Dr. Lin is a collector of horns. People who can see it are dazzled. On the other side of the wall, there is a row of cabinets as high as the roof.

Those cabinets are the same as those in the traditional Chinese medicine room, with some papers pasted on them, recording what is inside.

It's a pity that I poked my head over to have a look, and those words were written like other doctors, and I couldn't see what they were.

"Sit here." Doctor Ma pulled out a bamboo chair, and I quickly sat in it obediently, putting my hands on a small cotton pad next to the table, in a posture similar to feeling my pulse.

Mrs. Liu also followed in, she was quite curious, and wanted to see what Dr. Ma did, but Dr. Ma raised his head and said in a muffled voice, "Block the light."

Old Mrs. Liu's radiant eyes suddenly flashed fiercely, but after thinking about it, she retracted it, and gritted her teeth and said, "If I didn't owe the little lunatic a favor, let you..."

"I can't eat and walk around." After finishing speaking, Dr. Ma raised his eyelids: "Can I go away?"

"Humph."

Probably it was Dr. Ma who didn't care about Mrs. Liu. Mrs. Liu felt that she was bored, so she stamped her foot and went to the side.

Then, Dr. Ma took out a very long needle, which was the same as that put in the card by the little girl I met at the beginning. Going down, Cheng Ke frowned before me, and stretched out his hand to me: "If it hurts...you just hold it."

I was also quite uncertain, so I quickly grabbed Cheng Ke's hand. It was strange to say that as soon as I shook Cheng Ke's hand, I immediately felt at ease.

The doctor Ma narrowed his eyes, found the right position, and quickly inserted the needle into the turtle's shell.

I frowned, pain... more uncomfortable than pain, is cold!
The slender needle went deep into the turtle's mark, and then slowly turned inside, my heart pounded, and after a while, I felt that the needle tip walked a few steps inside and found something , the needle picked the thing out very neatly, and only heard a slight sound of "dang", a small black particle fell out of my hand.

The black particle is not much bigger than an ant's head, and it looks shiny. If the table is not white, it may not be visible at all.

I looked around, my eyes were sore, and I couldn't tell what it was: "This is..."

"It's a kind of iron sand refined with Yin Qi." Cheng Ke frowned, looked up at Doctor Ma, and said in a deep voice, "How much is there?"

"I don't know," Dr. Ma said dryly, "Take your time looking."

"Iron sand?" I hurriedly asked, "Is it difficult to get?"

Cheng Ke nodded and said, "This iron sand has been refined by a special Yin Qi. As long as there is a magnet nearby that has been refined together, it will be easily sensed and easy to find."

So with this kind of thing, I imprinted the longevity logo on my hand, and it felt like a note was pasted on my back: "The target is here, and the target is being targeted by something."

And the stinging pain should be because the iron sand that makes up the turtle will react when the special magnet is close, which makes me feel that way.

"You know a lot about this heresy stuff..." Dr. Ma said hoarsely with a bit of surprise on his plaster face, and then, looking at Cheng Ke, he suddenly seemed to think Woke up like something: "Have you been here?"

Cheng Ke shook his head.

Mrs. Liu caught this sentence, and hurriedly said: "You look familiar to him, don't you? To tell you the truth, I look familiar to him too! Think about it, where did we see him?" Pass him! I can’t remember, it’s up to you.”

Doctor Ma turned his head and thought for a while, but still ignored Mrs. Liu, and continued to pick the iron sand calmly.

Mrs. Liu got bored again, her face darkened, she simply raised her feet and went to the yard to play with the dog.

It's a pity that the dog was not willing to talk to Mrs. Liu, turned over and gave Mrs. Liu a butt.

Mrs. Liu's back was trembling slightly.

Hey, it's really one thing and one thing, some tofu in brine.

Cheng Ke and I looked at each other, Cheng Ke didn't say anything, just stared at the needle point intently, as if Dr. Ma might have made a mistake.

Doctor Ma was also concentrating, and some iron sand was gouged out again, and the color of the tortoise gradually faded. Then, Doctor Ma stopped: "That's all for today, and continue tomorrow."

Doctor Ma said that this would take a few days of treatment, and I was mentally prepared, so I asked, "Thank you very much, I don't know the medical fee..."

"I don't want money." Dr. Ma said flatly, "Let Crazy Yang return this favor."

Sure enough, Doctor Ma, Master Wei Jiu, and Mrs. Liu are all old friends who are close to the second grandfather. They probably had similar relationships with me, Luo Weilan, and Xiaoyu with earrings when they were young.

"I will definitely tell my second grandfather about this..."

"Okay," the doctor Ma took off his tortoiseshell glasses, rubbed his eyes, and said in that dry voice, "You can stay here for a few days, but you don't care about food."

I hurriedly nodded my thanks and touched the wound, but Cheng Ke held my hand up, lowered his head, and blew gently.

My heart jumped, he blew like this, his hands were cool, and it was actually quite comfortable.

"Don't touch it, or it will easily fester." Cheng Ke, who has always been so cold, now holds my hand as if he is holding a glass. It seems that he can't explain why, but it's a bit funny.

I couldn't help laughing.

He frowned displeasedly: "What are you laughing at?"

"fine."

In fact, it's good to get hurt once.

Doctor Ma collected those iron sand particles, carefully packed them into a small bamboo tube, sealed it, and put it in a drawer, casually said: "Don't touch the water, don't get excited."

I quickly thanked him, but at this moment, my stomach suddenly growled inappropriately.

Cheng Ke looked at me, curled his thin lips, and said, "I'll take you to dinner."

"Go and eat." Mrs. Liu came over immediately when she heard that our "treatment" was over: "At any rate, I have come to a place I am familiar with, and I will take you to taste the special things in Jinyuli. It's boring to stare at the deaf horse."

I longed to go to Jinyuli for a long time. I came here in a hurry just now, and I was confused by that little girl again, which made me nervous.The present opportunity should not be missed, so I quickly agreed.

Doctor Ma still silently raised his eyelids and looked at Old Madam Liu, without saying anything.

Old Mrs. Liu held her breath, walked to the yard with a bang, opened the door and came out.

When I saw Mrs. Liu's appearance, I must be eager to find someone to talk to now, so I took the opportunity to gossip: "Oh, that Doctor Ma seems to be quite quiet."

"I told you that he is deaf." As soon as Mrs. Liu mentioned Dr. Ma, she burst into complaints: "Those ears are just like a decoration."

"Hahaha." I laughed exaggeratedly a few times, and then said: "He also knows my second grandpa? The relationship must be very good, right?"

"Okay," Mrs. Liu's eyes flashed, "Okay, I can't wait to wear a pair of pants. But then..."

"Later?" I hurriedly asked, "What happened later?"

"Later, something happened between them, and then your lunatic grandpa left for Xichuan." Mrs. Liu looked at the leaves of the locust tree on her head, and said, "Who knows."

These words are inexplicable, as if with a bit of teasing.

The love and hatred of the older generation must be a majestic epic when written.

I wanted to continue asking, and when I understood, someone began to greet Mrs. Liu very respectfully one after another: "Madam Liu, are you free today?"

Mrs. Liu took out the style and nodded proudly, as if the queen was out on the street.

Cheng Ke and I followed behind her, apparently acting like a tiger.

Although this street is narrow, it is quite deep. Counting it carefully, there are estimated to be hundreds of shops on both sides. It is said that the business of raising ghost masters is now in a downturn. I guess this is also the last paradise, no I wonder if this industry, which has been passed down for so many years, will disappear in this generation.

"Oh, Mrs. Liu, the one who is following you is the Lu Qiao who defeated Wei Qiancheng, right?" Suddenly someone recognized me: "Isn't that... I saw it in the circle of friends, Yin Yang Yu Ghost technique!"

"It's really Luqiao! Let's take a look!"

When we came just now, it should be because it was still early, and there were not as many vendors and pedestrians as there are now. As soon as I was recognized, I was immediately surrounded by everyone like the national treasure panda, and it was very embarrassing.

I stole [-]% of Mrs. Liu's limelight all of a sudden, and I couldn't bear it immediately. I didn't expect that at this moment, someone would have to talk too much to Mrs. Liu: "Look, it's really the back wave of the Yangtze River. Qianlang! When you met Wei Changsheng back then, didn't you almost fall into Wei Changsheng's hands? It's good now, this girl has avenged you!"

This kind of thing is also a taboo at first glance. If you have to be brought up in front of so many people, it will be embarrassing for anyone. There are even more ignorant people who say: "In the past, the first female ghost-raiser was you, Mr. Liu. Ma'am, but you can enjoy your old age with peace of mind in the future, isn't there someone who will succeed you! I guess, I can become a generation of grandmasters than you!"

These words are more powerful than a sentence, and the old lady Liu's complexion is getting worse and worse. She said with a dark face, "I have something to do at the moment, you can eat it."

With that said, he turned around and left.

I knew in my heart that Mrs. Liu shouldn't be a small-hearted person, but she is very face-saving and very loving.

I was complaining endlessly in my heart. I just got close to Mrs. Liu, and wanted to ask who that black shadow with the sweet smell of longevity was, but was pissed off by passers-by again. There is nowhere to vent.

Seeing the embarrassment on my face, Cheng Ke protected me, blocked the crowd and went out.

Being a public figure is really hard.

But when Mrs. Liu left, we didn't know where to eat, so we had to search around. We didn't expect to see a familiar figure in such a search.

My second grandfather.

This is great!I was just about to look for it, but Cheng Ke said, "Do you think something is wrong?"

"Huh?" I was stunned for a moment, and took a closer look. Although it wasn't too close, I would never admit my mistake. I saw the second grandpa hurried into a shop, and quickly exchanged an item for another item from the owner. , holding it in his arms, with a restless look, came and went like the wind.

To put it bluntly, he behaved suspiciously, as if he was afraid of being seen by others.

It's strange, usually my second grandpa can talk and laugh happily in front of everything, but how he behaved like that today is really not quite right.

What the second grandpa is holding in his arms, is it a secret that cannot be revealed?
Thinking of this, I took advantage of the opportunity to point to a ghost raiser in the shop next to me and asked, "Excuse me, what does that shop sell?"

The shop next to us sells all kinds of cages. In some cages, there are a few weird-looking little beasts for demonstration. Some of those little beasts can sing and some can talk. What kind of spirit body is used to talk about buying and selling fashion and play tricks on ghosts.

The ghost breeder who sold the cage didn't recognize us. When he heard us ask, he just raised his head slightly, looked at the shop I was pointing at, and said flatly: "That... that is a golden jade shop. The black market is dealing in things that cannot be bought outside."

"Black market..." Strange, what did the second grandfather do in the black market?
"Let's go and ask." Cheng Ke frowned, and said in a low voice, "I hope it's not that Second Grandpa got into some trouble."

After being told by Cheng Ke, I became a little worried, so I hurried to the shop.

It is said to be a black market, but it looks more like a waste recycling station. There are all kinds of things in it, from stainless steel basins, to cracked mirrors, and mottled old carpets. A not-so-pleasant taste.

The shop owner is an octogenarian, but still in good spirits. He stared at us and asked, "What's your business?"

I hurriedly said: "I want to inquire about something, the old man who came just now, I don't know, what did he come to buy?"

"This is the customer's privacy, we can't say it." The old man put on a businesslike look: "If you just tell the customer's affairs casually, how about our business? ?”

That's true, I became uneasy, picked up the phone and wanted to ask the second grandpa, but this place was probably disturbed by Yin Qi, so I couldn't get out at all.

Things should always look good... Maybe, just buy something casually?
But...why do you have to come to the black market...

"Do you have anything to buy? If you have anything, pick it up quickly, and if you don't, get out of the way. We open the door for business, not for nonsense." The old man unceremoniously issued an order to evict customers. Just as Cheng Ke was about to speak, there was a scream in the room : "Oh, isn't this Lu Qiao?"

Then, a young woman came out and said in a tone of surprise and joy: "Why did you come here? If you need anything, just ask, and I will let my grandpa get it for you! No bragging, as long as it is Yin and Yang World, what you call the exit, you can find everything here.”

I was taken aback by this enthusiastic man. After a closer look, this man was about my age, very handsome, wearing a pair of intellectual glasses, curvy hair to the shoulders, and a very flattering look. The appearance of a literary and artistic young woman.

And this familiar attitude seems to be an old friend with me for many years, but I thought about it, and I really don't have any impression of it.

The man looked at me like this, and was stunned for two seconds, then clapped his hands, laughed and said: "This is true, you forget things, you don't remember me? You saved me from under that heavy pear It came out! My name is Xiaoxia, and everyone calls me Brother Xia."

"Oh oh oh!" I finally realized: "So that's the case, I'm sorry, there were really a lot of people at that time, I didn't remember..."

"I was also careless," Brother Xia said while turning his head to the old man and said, "Grandpa, I heard you lost your temper just now. Do you know that this is your granddaughter's lifesaver!"

"Ah?" When the old man heard this, he showed a perplexed expression, and quickly said, "I...I really..."

"However, I think Lu Qiao won't bother with you. Those who don't know are innocent!" Brother Xia said boldly, "You mean it, Lu Qiao?"

I hurriedly nodded, and said embarrassingly: "It's also my fault, asking around..."

"What are you buying?" Brother Xia said generously, "I'll give it to you. Don't refuse, I don't like to be frivolous."

Surrounded by the enthusiasm like timely rain, I said awkwardly: "I just want to find out what that person bought here just now."

"He..." The old man hurriedly took out an account book and said, "Girl, you must not spread it. I only told you for Brother Xia's sake. Here, he I bought a branch of a heavy pear."

"Huh?" I was stunned for a moment: "Chongli?"

"That's right," said the old man, "except for us, there is no such thing anywhere else, and I'll just sell that part again, and last time my granddaughter was almost killed by that heavy pear! It’s an orphan, and I don’t even want to look at it, it’s not out of sight, and I didn’t ask that person for a high price, so I sent it out to pull it down.”

I didn't listen to what the old man said, but I just wondered why the second grandfather wanted Chongli...
