Chapter 97: Chinese Medicine Pavilion
It takes about half an hour to drive to the nearest hospital to this elementary school, but the fat people don't necessarily go there, because there is a small clinic on the commercial street behind it, which is run by an old Chinese medicine doctor. In the past, when our neighbors or children were accidentally injured, they would first go to the old Chinese medicine doctor to see a doctor, and if it could not be cured or it was too serious, we would go to a big hospital to see a doctor.
The fat man and I also went there when I was a child with dislocated or broken skin, and I passed in front of the old Chinese medicine doctor a while ago, and it has been more than ten years, and it is still open.
In my guess, the fat man must have taken Mr. Wang to the old Chinese medicine doctor first, and if this is the case, the situation may be more serious than I thought.
I trotted all the way to the commercial street behind the school, stood across the road and glanced at the Chinese medicine hall opposite, and sure enough, the lights were on! At this time, it should have closed a long time ago.
I walked across the street and stood outside the Chinese medicine hall without entering. Standing at the door and listening to the sound, it was quiet inside, and this kind of silence made people feel uneasy. Under normal circumstances, the fat man must be very lively inside, talking and laughing constantly, but now it is very abnormal.
I didn't enter through the main entrance, there was a vegetable market behind the old Chinese medicine doctor's restaurant, and this vegetable market had a window to climb into the old Chinese medicine doctor's house. I could have chosen to get in through the back window.
The market was locked at night, but the iron gate was not very high, and I climbed through it without much effort. At night, the vegetable market looked empty, so I took out my flashlight and walked in the dark. In the past, I used to come to this vegetable market with fat people, on the one hand, there was a steamed bun here that was particularly delicious, on the other hand, we didn't have much money in our pockets at that time, and the video game hall was not popular, so we liked to wander around when we had no place to play after school. There are a few grass dogs in this vegetable farm, which are quite cute, and the fat man and I often come to tease them.
But the road that is quite familiar during the day is different at night. I finally found the path in the vegetable field in the dark, walked a few steps inside, and looked up to see the bright window. A row of black, only the old Chinese medicine hall is lit up, it will definitely not be wrong!
I walked up quickly, and the small window was about a meter above the ground, and I could jump up to get there, but I needed some tools to help me climb up. Looking around, I saw a wooden chair.
With this chair under my feet, I stood up almost enough to climb into the window, which was empty, and I was about to break the glass or try to pry it open, when suddenly there was a voice from inside!
"I don't understand, what the hell are you looking for?"
It was a trembling old man's voice, and it sounded a bit like an old Chinese medicine doctor. I hurriedly crouched down, not daring to raise my head, only showing a pair of eyes that could see inside.
The first thing that caught my eye was an old man, wearing a white coat and sleeves that looked thin and small. Gray-haired, looking trembling and towering in age. He walked into the room with his back to me, but with fear in his voice, clearly frightened.
"I gave you the list, you find the things, and I'll let you go. ”
The voice was a woman, and the person who walked in was Teacher Wang, as I expected! It was very different from the Teacher Wang I saw during the day, at this moment her face was pale, her face was blue, her eyes were sunken, and she had very deep dark circles. Half of his hair was scattered in front of him, and he smiled sinister as he spoke.
"Sure enough, it's her, it's not a good thing!"
I cursed inwardly.
She walked into the house, and seemed to dislike the light, so she took a few steps back and stood in the shadows, and said, "Find all the herbs I want." ”
"I don't have a few medicinal herbs on your list, they are all more precious. For example, Ganoderma lucidum, and ginseng or something, how can I have this little shop?"
The old Chinese medicine doctor shook his head helplessly and replied.
"If not, I'll kill you!"
Mr. Wang's voice was sharp, and when he raised his hand, the light bulb in the room immediately showed signs of breaking, and the tungsten filament made a "zizi" sound after burning, the light flickered on and off, and there was a "click" sound on the glass, as if it was about to break.
"I'm looking for it, can't I look for it! Don't kill me!"
The old Chinese medicine doctor waved his hand and shouted in fear.
"You'd better hurry up and get the herbs ready for me, my patience is limited. ”
Teacher Wang dropped this sentence and walked out. But in my opinion, I feel that there is an indescribable strange feeling, the teacher I saw during the day is quite upright, and the aura emanating from his body is peaceful, not a bad person. But at night, it's like a different person, and it can even be said that it looks like two people!
I thought of the two of them suddenly, and I had seen some records about ghosts and monsters in "Strange Tales of the Mountains and Wilds" before, saying that if some souls are resentful and have not been resolved, then they may attach themselves to people with weaker yang energy. Worse still, they may have complete control over the person, which is commonly referred to as possession!
The possessed person is very dangerous, as his yang energy is constantly eaten away by the yin energy, and it is very likely that excessive yang decay and yin prosperity will eventually lead to death. Second, the person who is possessed does not know what he is doing, and his body is completely controlled by the ghost, even if he does not die, if he does something hurtful, the ghost pats his ass and leaves afterwards, leaving the person to suffer by himself. Thirdly, the blessings of the possessed people are bound to be sucked away by ghosts, and some people's blessings are not profound, once they are taken away by ghosts, the final result may be lonely for a lifetime.
Therefore, the sooner the goblins attached to the person are exorcized, the more the person will be saved.
The Teacher Wang I saw at this time may not be the real Teacher Wang!
After she left the room, it was my chance, I knocked lightly on the glass window, at first the old Chinese medicine doctor didn't hear, and looked around, I tried to knock a few more times, only then did he look up and find me with a surprised face.
"Who are you? Why are you here?"
I haven't seen me for many years, and the old Chinese medicine doctor didn't recognize me at first sight.
"I'm Ba Xiaoshan, I used to play with the fat man, don't you remember?
I motioned for him to open the window, and when the window opened, he stared at me as if he remembered something and said, "Remember, you used to play with the little fat man in the hall, and I remember that you had a mole under your left eyebrow, by the way, you should run away with me, there is a crazy woman inside." ”
"Master, you run away first, is my friend inside?"
I asked.
"You said that little fat man, he sent people to me and left, and he didn't even enter the house. ”
I breathed a sigh of relief when I heard this, and the fat man had escaped the catastrophe.
He helped the master climb out of the window, and then said, "You can hide in the vegetable market first." ”
"Why? aren't you going to run away with me?"
The old Chinese medicine doctor asked with some surprise.
"The woman inside is probably getting on her with something unclean, and if I don't save her, I'm afraid she'll be doomed. ”
"What are you doing now? How can you save it? Do you need my help?"
The old Chinese medicine doctor is also more enthusiastic, although he can't help me deal with ghosts, but he still hopes to do his part.
I thought for a moment and asked, "Do you have a compass here, or do you have any dregs from your decoction?"
"I don't have a compass, but there is a medicine residue, which is in the left corner of the room just now, and I usually keep the medicine residue for a while and throw it away after a few days. What do you want this for?"
The old Chinese medicine doctor asked me strangely.
"Leave this alone, go and hide, by the way, take off your white coat and sleeves for me. ”
Changing into the white coat of an old Chinese medicine doctor, I got into the window wearing sleeves, and Mr. Wang hadn't come in yet, and I didn't know what to do in the hall outside. I took out the medicine residue, and I was greeted by a strong bitter smell, which was originally the smell of boiling Chinese medicine in the old Chinese medicine doctor's room, but at this time, this smell was several times stronger.
I lowered my head and reached out to grab a handful of medicine residues, just as I heard footsteps behind me. I didn't look up, I bent down slightly, and Mr. Wang, who was behind me, asked in a weird way, "Is the medicine ready?"
I didn't say a word, shrugged my shoulders slightly.
"You don't look the same, you seem to be a lot taller, and your shoulders are broader......"
Teacher Wang seemed to have noticed something, walked up quickly and grabbed my shoulder, and at this moment I suddenly turned around and pressed a handful of medicine residue in my hand on her face!"
