"Okay, okay, it's late. You have to go to work tomorrow. Go back and have some rest."

"There's no rush for school. How about I stay here tonight to take care of you? Go back and take a good bath and have a good sleep. You look haggard these days."

"That's not appropriate."

"Jia Yi, believe me, I can do it."

"What I mean is that my parents already have a hard time sleeping at night because of their physical discomfort. If you add your snoring, they will be even more uncomfortable."

"Ah, that's why." Fatty Wu nodded awkwardly, "That's true, that's right."

"Okay, I'm used to it. You snored, and it was strange not to hear it for a while, but my parents are patients now, you should go back soon, my parents understand your intentions. "

"Okay, I'll go back first. Oh, by the way, I'll try to invite the old Taoist priest tomorrow. My colleagues said he is very effective, so I can invite him to come and see, but he is busy, so we have to see his time."

"Didn't you say you also invited the old Chinese doctor?"

"We have to invite them all. Since the hospital has not been able to cure it for so long, let's try a few more methods."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Watching her boyfriend walk downstairs, Zheng Jiayi turned around silently and went back to the ward first.

In the ward, her parents were still "humming". After being admitted to the hospital for a few days, the consciousness of the two elderly people was still sometimes clear and sometimes blurred.

Pick up the thermos and go to the east side of the floor to get some boiled water. When she came back, Zheng Jiayi saw a young girl with a mountaineering bag standing at the door of her parents' ward, confirming the ward number.

"Excuse me, who are you?"

Yin Meng turned her head and looked at Zheng Jiayi, saying, "I am the person that counselor Wu invited to see the doctor."

Zheng Jiayi said in disbelief, "You are so young?"

"My master has something to do, so let me come and see first."

"But my partner just left, shouldn't you..."

"My master only gave me the address of the ward. If you don't believe me, I can leave now."

She said she was leaving, but her body had already turned sideways, with her right leg slightly bent down, ready to take the other person into the ward as quickly as possible and force him to see the doctor.

"Please come in."

Zheng Jiayi opened the door and invited Yin Meng into the ward.

In addition to the smell of disinfectant, there was also a fishy smell in the ward.

Yin Meng walked straight to the bedside and observed the conditions of the two elderly people.

She actually doesn't know how to treat patients.

She knows how to make poisons, which is her talent.

The short special training stimulated her perception of poison, but it is obviously unrealistic to expect a person to become a "famous doctor" in such a short time.

But she smelled it out. The two old people were indeed poisoned. The hospital said it was food poisoning, which was quite appropriate.

However, she couldn't tell which kind of poison it was.

It's not a big problem. Just try one by one.

Yin Meng turned her left hand over, and there was a toad lying on the palm of her hand.

This was what she had just caught in the hospital pond. Its belly was bulging and it looked very lively.

Zheng Jiayi, who was about to pour water for Yin Meng, covered her mouth and screamed.

Yin Meng muttered something to the toad, then stretched out her hand, flicked the toad's belly, and took out another incense stick. She rubbed the tip of the incense stick with her fingertips, and the outer layer of the incense skin fell off, and white smoke rose.

After inserting the incense stick into the toad's mouth, Yin Meng placed the incense toad on the bedside table.

Then, Yin Meng took out a stack of papers of different colors from her pocket, took out a black one first, and swung her right hand. A blade appeared, and she slashed Zheng Jiayi's father's arm without hesitation.

A cut appeared, and blood flowed out.

Yin Meng stained the black paper with blood, and then placed the paper on the incense, letting the incense burn a hole in the black paper where the blood was stained.

The toad had no reaction.

It was not corpse poison.

Yin Meng took out another piece of purple paper, and in order to get fresh blood, she used a blade to cut a new cut on Zheng Jiayi's father's arm again.

After taking the blood, she followed the same pattern and let the incense burn a hole in the paper.

The toad remained emotionally stable.

It was not Gu poison.

Yin Meng took out the blue paper next, and before opening a new wound again, she glanced at Zheng Jiayi who was standing next to her.

Zheng Jiayi covered her mouth with both hands, her eyes wide open, she was very scared, she felt incredible, but she didn't scream, nor did she stop, and even showed encouragement and gratitude to herself when she noticed her gaze.

This is a clear-headed woman, she doesn't understand, but she knows that this is a treatment.

The new cut was made, blood was taken, and the paper was placed on the tip of the incense. When the hole was burned, the toad screamed at a high frequency.

It was demon poison.

After finding out what the poison is, there will be a corresponding solution. The method she knows is very simple and unique, that is, to fight poison with poison.

Yin Meng asked: "Can you catch a toad?"

"Ah? I... I haven't caught one, but I can catch one." Zheng Jiayi said firmly.

"Forget it, I'll go. You hold the toad. If I'm far away, it may get out of control."

"Oh, okay."

Zheng Jiayi walked forward, trying her best to get rid of the strong rejection in her heart, and grabbed the toad with both hands.

Yin Meng came to the window of the ward, opened the window, and jumped out.

There was a pond below, which was faster than taking the stairs.

Looking at the window where people disappeared, Zheng Jiayi felt like she was dreaming tonight.

After a while, Yin Meng climbed out of the window with another toad in her hand.

Next, she began to feed poison into the toad’s mouth. This was a paralyzing poison, similar to “Ma Fei San”, but with great side effects, which could easily damage a person’s brain.

So she deliberately reduced the dosage.

After the two toads were fed with poison, Yin Meng used a blade to cut a fingernail-sized cube from the upper arms of Zheng Jiayi’s father and mother, which was to dig out a piece of meat directly.

“This…” Zheng Jiayi still held back and said nothing.

She didn’t think a person who could jump from the fourth floor and climb up again would be mentally ill.

“Come on, give me a hand.”

Yin Meng aimed a toad’s mouth at the wound of Zheng Jiayi’s father.

Zheng Jiayi stepped forward and lifted the toad, allowing it to continue sucking on the wound.

Yin Meng aimed another toad at the wound of Zheng Jiayi’s mother.

“Gulp… Gulp… Gulp…”

At first, the black color continued to spread from the wound to other directions, but soon, the black color was quickly compressed back.

The stomachs of the two toads were getting bigger and bigger, like two angry pufferfish.

When the toads reached the limit of their endurance, Yin Meng threw the toads in her hand away, and a circle of fish scales appeared around the original wound.

Yin Meng stretched out her hand to grab it, pulled it out, and pushed Zheng Jiayi away at the same time, causing the toad in her hand to fall off. A circle of fish scales also appeared around her father's wound, and Yin Meng grabbed it with her other hand.

Then, Yin Meng took a step forward, like a fitness person pulling a rowing machine.

"Hua La La...Hua La La..."

Yin Meng pulled out two fish scale lines that were two meters long from the wounds of Zheng Jiayi's father and mother.

When she pulled to the end, Yin Meng got angry. Because the space in the ward was limited, she simply leaned forward, tensed her arms and did a front flip on the spot.

"Snap! Snap."

The two fish scale lines were torn off.

Zheng Jiayi's father and mother sat up from the bed almost at the same time, opened their mouths, and blue mist sprayed out from their eyes, ears, mouth and nose.

Then, the two fell back and lay back on the bed.

Their breathing became smooth, and there was no pain on their faces in their coma, but instead they showed a relief of finally being relieved.

Yin Meng took out a snakeskin bag from her bag, rolled up the fishing line and threw it in.

The two big-bellied toads had deflated by now, not only were they not dead, but they also seemed very excited.

Yin Meng put them in front of her nose and smelled them, confirming that the toxins she had fed them before had been neutralized with the demon poison, and they were now harmless.

She walked to the window and threw them down, and with two "plops", they returned to the pond.

"Thank you, you've worked hard." Zheng Jiayi bowed to Yin Meng.

Yin Meng waved her hand, picked up her water cup, twisted the lid, and drank a sip of brown sugar water.

Zheng Jiayi asked, "Are my parents cured now?"

Yin Meng shook her head: "It's just a temporary solution, they can be cured for two months, but after two months, the toxins will accumulate again, and they will get sick again, and it will be more difficult to remove."

If I don't come, then according to the current situation, the two old people will continue in this state for half a month, and their physical condition will deteriorate rapidly.

"What should I do?"

"I know they got sick after returning to their hometown to visit the graves. How long have they been there?"

"They stayed in their hometown for a total of two nights."

"Live in your own old house?"

"The old house has not been lived in for a long time. If you want to live in it, you have to clean it up, which is not convenient. My parents live in my uncle's house."

"Do they eat and live there?"

"Yes, yes."

"If you want to completely cure your parents' illness, take me back to your hometown and visit your uncle's house, okay?"

"Sure, when is it convenient for you?"

After seeing this magical treatment effect, Zheng Jiayi trusted Yin Meng very much.

"The sooner the better, I have a lot of things to do."

"Then tomorrow morning, I will call my boyfriend, and he will take leave to take over and take care of my parents in the morning at the earliest. Then we will go to the train station together at noon."

"Okay."

"Thank you." Zheng Jiayi bowed to Yin Meng again.

Zheng Jiayi began to clean the ward quickly.

Yin Meng stood by, as if she suddenly thought of something, and asked: "Do you like small animals?"

"Yes, sometimes I meet poor stray animals on the road, I will take them home to bathe and spray them with medicine, and then give them to neighbors or friends to adopt after cleaning them up. The main thing is that I already have three at home, and I can't keep any more."

"Then do you usually go to the orphanage?"

"I like to be a volunteer, how did you know?"

"Just asking."

"Oh, by the way, what should I call you?"

"My name is Yin Meng."

"Master Yin Meng."

Yin Meng was stunned for a moment, why is it a Taoist priest, this does not match the identity card given to him when he left.

"My master is an old Chinese doctor."

"Ah?" Zheng Jiayi was very surprised, "Aren't you the Taoist priest's apprentice?"

"No."

"I thought those methods just now were...it turns out that Chinese medicine is so powerful."

"What's the matter with the Taoist priest?"

"My partner and I have discussed that we want to invite a Taoist priest to perform a ritual. I mistakenly thought that the master you mentioned was the old Taoist priest who was very spiritual. Sorry, I misunderstood you."

"It's okay."

Yin Meng lowered her head and took another sip of brown sugar water.

That is to say, if I don't come tonight, Fatty Wu will bring an old Taoist priest over in a while. If the old Taoist priest is really capable, he should be able to find the clues of the demon poison and naturally think about finding the root and solving it thoroughly.

Then he went back to his hometown with Zheng Jiayi.

After that, something might happen, involving Fatty Wu, and then Fatty Wu would involve himself and others.

Before the action, Brother Xiaoyuan specifically asked all of them to use this way of thinking to make their own line of reasoning, and Yin Meng is doing it now.

According to common sense, from inviting the old Taoist priest to come, the old Taoist priest went to Min'an Town, investigating, something happened, and then involving Fatty Wu, each link in it is very time-consuming. If you want to complete it, it will take at least more than a month.

In this way, it barely matches the birthday of Xue Liangliang's father.

Yin Meng took out a notebook and a pen from her bag and wrote down her thoughts.

This is the homework left by Brother Xiaoyuan, which needs to be handed in.

…

“If we are destined to break up, there is no need to pretend to keep us together. If love is eternal, how can we break up~”

The original sad gathering of three old classmates turned into a single carnival for four people because of Tan Wenbin’s joining.

The gathering place was also changed from the melancholy pub to the noisy singing room at Tan Wenbin’s request.

Fan Shulin sat on the sofa chair, watching his two old classmates and Tan Wenbin singing freely. If you don’t know, you would think that he was the one who got divorced today.

At this time, Hu Yiwei’s pager on his waist rang, and he put down the receiver: “I’ll go to the front desk to answer the phone.”

Tan Wenbin put his arm around his shoulders: “Let’s go together, I’ll go get some more wine.”

The two left the box and came to the front desk, and Hu Yiwei made a phone call.

After Tan Wenbin asked for beer, he asked for a pack of cigarettes in order to stay and listen.

No mistakes in one song, one post, one content, one content, one book, one bar, one 6, one 9!

He tore open the package, knocked it, took out two cigarettes, and handed one to Hu Yiwei. Hu Yiwei nodded and smiled, took it, and after biting it in his mouth, Tan Wenbin took out a lighter and lit it for him.

"Thank you, buddy..."

At this time, the phone was connected, and when the woman's voice came from the other end, Hu Yiwei's face changed.

Tan Wenbin silently lit one for himself.

After going through the rebellious and restless adolescence, he had stopped smoking a long time ago, but now he had to create a reasonable scene to listen to people calling.

"You say."

"It's okay, I'm listening."

"Oh, I can't bear to say it now, what did you do before?"

"Don't worry, I won't be sad, I'm singing with my friends to celebrate my return to singleness, I tell you, Zeng Miaomiao, even without you, I can live well!"

Tan Wenbin exhaled a puff of smoke rings. To be honest, he could empathize with Hu Yiwei. The two went from college campus to wedding dress, but inexplicably, his wife told him that she wanted to divorce and return to her hometown.

Suddenly, Hu Yiwei was stunned.

Then, tears flowed, and he shouted excitedly into the microphone:

"Zeng Miaomiao, you have no heart, you have no heart..."

The other end of the phone hung up, Hu Yiwei put the microphone back, turned around, and sat down slowly on the floor with his back against the front tile.

Tan Wenbin asked: "Brother Hu, what's wrong, what happened?"

"Miaomiao said that she had a blind date in her hometown and will get married next month.

You tell me, why did she do this to me, why is she so cruel!"

Tan Wenbin asked: "Did they know the person they were going to marry before?"

"No, I just met her today."

"Do you believe her when she said that?"

"Ah?"

"Brother Hu, think about it yourself, isn't this nonsense?"

"You mean, they actually hooked up a long time ago, but when they divorced, I asked her, and she swore to me that she didn't have an affair or cheat."

"Brother Hu, what I mean is that you have to ask about this matter in person, go to her hometown, and find out the matter. Ask clearly. Maybe she has something to hide, what do you think? "

"Go to her hometown and ask her?" Hu Yiwei's eyes were full of confusion, "But I have tried to keep her, but it didn't work."

"Brother Hu, your marriage can end, but you can't be confused. You have to be clear for yourself, ask her, and ask the person she is going to marry again.

At least, when you feel bad and want to drink again, you will have something to talk about. "

"Binbin... I don't dare to face her again, I feel so uncomfortable. "

"It's okay, you don't dare alone, then I will go with you!"

Encouraged by others, Hu Yiwei's eyes gradually became firm: "Okay, next month, at her wedding, I will go to ask clearly."

Next month?

If I go with you next month, maybe Brother Yuanzi and the others will have finished their work and come back.

"Brother Hu, you have to cheer up and listen to me. Let's go tomorrow!"

"Tomorrow?"

"Yeah, think about it, there is still a month left. How miserable and depressed you must be every day, how can you still have the mind to work and live?

It's better to cut the Gordian knot, go earlier, ask earlier, and talk it out earlier, so that life can turn the page earlier."

Hu Yiwei nodded vigorously:

"Yes, you are right, I will go to the unit to ask for leave tomorrow morning, and go to see her in the afternoon, brother, you..."

"I will go to the school to ask for leave in the morning, meet up with you at noon, and we will set off together in the afternoon!"

"Good brother!" Hu Yiwei excitedly held Tan Wenbin's hand, tears and snot flowing again, "We have not been in vain for so many years, really!"

"Real brothers, don't talk about this."

Tan Wenbin took out a roll of paper from the front desk and handed it to the real brother in front of him who had known each other for less than three hours:

"Come on, Brother Hu, wipe it."

"I'm going to the bathroom and wash my face."

After Hu Yiwei left, Tan Wenbin looked at the front desk waiter: "Can you give me a piece of paper and borrow a pen, thank you."

Tan Wenbin wrote on the paper, one month?

It is obvious that Hu Yiwei has not let go of this relationship and marriage at all, so after learning that his ex-wife is going to remarry at the speed of light, he will definitely go to the scene to ask clearly.

If I hadn't appeared, with Hu Yiwei's personality, he would probably wait until the wedding day to go.

In other words, I advanced this process by one month.

Then, Hu Yiwei got into trouble?

After that, Fan Shulin contacted me and asked me for help?

It doesn't have to be me. Can't Runsheng and Ayou, who have to go to the hospital for surgery every now and then, also be contacted?

"Alas, my brother Xiaoyuan is worthy of being Xiaoyuan. Using this idea to promote, I feel like I have taken a big advantage."

...

At noon, Yin Meng and Zheng Jiayi took the train to Huangshan, and Tan Wenbin got into the car borrowed by Hu Yiwei.

At the same time, Li Zhuiyuan and Runsheng had come to a gate archway with the words: Min'an Town.

The town is full of Hui style architecture, with stone bridges, lakes, pavilions and corridors, and surrounded by green mountains and farmland. Every step is a scene, and every place is interesting.

This is really a good place for sketching.

Xue Liangliang said that his hometown is beautiful, and it is indeed so.

In fact, when Li Zhuiyuan learned the name "Huangshan Min'an Town" in Wu Pangzi's office, he thought of Xue Liangliang.

Last time he and Luo Gong were at a meeting, Luo Gong squeezed out half a day to go home in the midst of his busy schedule. As a result, he encountered Jingjing's evil spirit. After solving the problem, the two of them drove to Huangshan in a hurry to attend the meeting.

I remember that Xue Liangliang said that he was close to home and could go back to his hometown after the meeting.

After asking on the phone that Xue Liangliang's hometown was indeed "Min'an Town", Li Zhuiyuan did not ask any more specific questions, and later he did not call Xue Liangliang to ask for the specific address of his home.

He knew that Brother Liangliang was very smart, and he might have been suspicious at that time. If he asked again, he would probably realize that something happened in his hometown immediately.

Brother Liangliang was a very sober person. He would not choose to come back forcibly at this time to cause trouble for himself, so he would not need him to worry about it from such a distance, and he would handle the matter himself.

There was only one main street in the town, with some small shops on the street, and the rest of the houses were in the alleys on both sides of the main street, with separate households.

Li Zhuiyuan found a canteen, bought two bottles of drinks, and then asked the aunt in the canteen where Xue Liangliang's home was.

College students were still precious these days. After reporting their college and their names, the aunt enthusiastically led Li Zhuiyuan and Runsheng into an alley and came to the door of a house.

The door of the house was wide open, and the aunt shouted to the inside in dialect, meaning that your Liangliang's friend came to visit.

Xue Liangliang's parents came out. The vicissitudes of life could be seen on their faces, but their bodies were still very strong. When Li Zhuiyuan finished introducing himself, the two elders said in unison:

"You are Xiaoyuan."

Apparently, Xue Liangliang mentioned himself to his family, and more than once.

The estrangement and politeness that might have existed originally disappeared at this moment. Li Zhuiyuan and Runsheng were warmly welcomed into the house, and the two elders began to cook.

The old house should have been renovated two years ago.

There was nothing special about the furnishings in the house, which were similar to those of ordinary families, but from some details, it can be seen that although they lived a simple life, they were not embarrassed at all.

Xue Liangliang was not so obsessed with money, but that was also based on solving basic living needs. He would definitely send money to his parents every month, but his parents still lived a familiar lifestyle, which made them feel comfortable.

The food was very rich, especially the stinky mandarin fish, which was very delicious.

After the meal, the four of them sat in the courtyard and chatted.

Li Zhuiyuan was not in a hurry to search and find information everywhere. Everyone had their own line of responsibility, and it was most important to dig out their own line as much as possible.

Next month is Xue Liangliang's father's 50th birthday, and he plans to hold a big party. When talking about this, the two elders were very happy.

At dusk, Xue Liangliang's father took Li Zhuiyuan to the long corridor in the town, which was close to the river. At this time every day, people gathered here to play chess and drink tea, and occasionally someone would tell a story.

Li Zhuiyuan felt like he was here for a trip.

During dinner, Li Zhuiyuan talked about birthday celebrations again and asked about some local customs.

At night, Li Zhuiyuan and Runsheng stayed in the room where Xue Liangliang lived when he was at home.

The old house, which was mainly made of wood, was not very soundproof. Li Zhuiyuan had extremely sharp hearing and could hear the conversation between the two elders in the bed in the next room "clearly".

They talked about themselves, mainly praising their children for being good-looking and smart, which was a good start.

Then they focused on the topic of when Xue Liangliang would get married and when they would have grandchildren. This should be the focus of the old couple's daily night talk.

Just as this old topic was gradually coming to an end, Xue Liangliang's mother suddenly said:

"I don't know when the expedition team will come back. They are all young kids. How can they be so brave to go to that village."

Xue Liangliang's father seemed to be very disgusted with this topic and said:

"Don't talk about this, go to sleep."

Li Zhuiyuan opened his eyes: Expedition team?

"Brother Runsheng, shall we go out for a walk?"

Li Zhuiyuan knew that Runsheng was not asleep because he was not snoring.

"Okay."

The two deliberately left the house quietly, came to the alley, and walked from the alley to the main street.

At this time, the shops on the street were closed and there were no pedestrians. As they walked, they came to the archway where they entered the town.

"Logically, if everything goes well for the two of them, they should be here by now. Brother Runsheng, what time is it now?"

Runsheng picked up his watch and looked at it, saying: "11:48."

"Wait a little longer, go back to sleep at midnight."

...

Tan Wenbin sat in the car and asked: "We're here, Brother Hu, look at the archway in front, Min'an Town."

Hu Yiwei also breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally we're here, my waist."

Tan Wenbin looked at the time in the car: "We've been driving for so long, it's already 11:49."

"If it weren't for a flat tire on the way, we could have arrived earlier."

"Where are we going to stay tonight? Find a private residence to stay?"

"No, I want to go directly to her house."

Tan Wenbin nodded and said nothing.

The car continued to move forward, passing through the empty archway.

...

Yin Meng and Zheng Jiayi were sitting on an ox cart, driven by an old man, and the cart was carrying fertilizers and pesticides, and the two of them were sitting on these things.

The old man said, "Next time, girls should not travel so late, it's not safe."

"Got it, uncle." Zheng Jiayi agreed with a smile.

"Okay, we're here. Your house is in the front lane, right? My house is at the end of the town, so I'll get you here."

Zheng Jiayi took out her wallet and prepared to pay.

"What money? Although we are not of the same surname, I am also your grandfather. If I give money, people will say it." After the old man finished speaking, he drove the ox cart forward.

Yin Meng looked up at the archway above: Min'an Town.

Zheng Jiayi said, "Let's go, I'll take you to my uncle's house."

"Your uncle and his family should be asleep, right?"

"Of course people in the countryside go to bed early. Let me see it's... oh, it's already 11:50."

...

Li Zhuiyuan and Runsheng waited under the archway until midnight, but no one came.

"Let's go back to sleep."

"Okay."

When I turned around and walked back, a gust of wind blew, blowing the treetops in front of me, and three leaves fell.
