Chapter 118: Hundred Miles of Bright Moon
"Uncle, how long has Auntie been sick?"
Fang Bai asked casually.
"It's been more than a decade...... Fang Bai, you haven't bought anything yet, have you? Why don't you let Mingyue accompany you to the nearby department store?"
Mingyue's father seemed to be very taboo to discuss Mingyue's mother's condition with strangers, so he pulled the topic away with a smile.
The fact that he has been poisoned by the "man-eating flower" for more than ten years and has not died shows that there are special drugs that have suppressed the spread of toxicity.
However, although this method can prolong the life of the patient, it will treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and the backlash will be great in the future.
Once the toxicity in the body accumulates to a certain extent, it will suddenly erupt, and then the poisoned person's skin will turn black, and black blood will flow out of the seven orifices, and he will die in extreme pain, and the death will be extremely miserable.
Presumably, Mingyue's parents have not found a way to detoxify, so they can only rely on certain drugs to suppress the toxicity, and it will be a day for a day.
Seeing that Mingyue's father was reluctant to say more, Fang Bai didn't ask much, and after chatting with the three of them about the parents, he went to the nearby department store to buy things under the leadership of Mingyue.
On the way to the department store, Fang Bai knew through the mouth of Mingyue that their family was surnamed Qiu, his father was called Qiu Qi, and his mother was called Qiu Yuzhi.
For some reason, Fang Bai always had an intuition, that is, there was a kind of mystery in the couple of Qiu Qi and Qiu Yuzhi.
Not to mention Qiu Qi, he is a martial artist who is even more powerful than Fang Bai.
And although Qiu Yuzhi was poisonous, weak, and incapacitated, Fang Bai dared to conclude that if it weren't for the strange poison, she should also be a martial artist, and her strength would not be much weaker than her husband.
Fang Bai speculated that Qiu Qi's family should have lived in seclusion here, and should have lived here for many years, and had completely integrated into life here.
Warriors usually live in seclusion for two reasons, one is to live a prosperous and noisy life, and want to find a quiet land to cultivate oneself, and the other is to avoid enemies.
Judging from the situation of the enemy, the latter is more likely.
Fang Bai even suspected that Qiu's family did not necessarily have the surname Qiu, and it was likely that after living in seclusion here, they found someone to help them change their names and surnames.
It stands to reason that a reclusive martial artist should like to be quiet, and he will not easily rent out his house to the outside world, but when Fang Bai saw Qiu Yuzhi, he understood some reasons.
Qiu Yuzhi has a strange poison in his body, and he needs to prepare medicinal materials to suppress the toxicity, and those medicinal materials must not be cheap, and after many years, the Qiu family's economy has become strained, and they have to rent out their houses in exchange for some income.
Originally, Qiu Chu was a master, and there were ways to make money, but if their family was hiding from the enemy, it was too late to hide behind them, so how could they dare to reveal it easily?
Mingyue is studying in Yanjing No. 16 Middle School, and will be promoted to the third year of high school after the summer vacation, although Fang Bai has not talked to her much, he has already figured out her general character.
Mingyue is an independent and rebellious girl.,Bold.,Very righteous.,It's said that there are a lot of students who like her at school.,But there are also a lot of contradictions with her.。
Mingyue likes to fight unevenly, and when she sees someone being bullied in school, she likes to come out, but she has learned a little self-defense skills with her father since she was a child, and the fight is very powerful, even the boys are afraid of him, so that she has the title of "little witch on campus".
In Yanjing Sixteen Middle School, if you want to say that she is rich, Mingyue can't be ranked at all, but when it comes to appearance, Mingyue must be a well-deserved first, she doesn't need makeup at all, just no makeup, she can crush those girls who dress up and show off.
Of course, if she wears some light makeup, such as today, with a touch of smoky makeup and a little blush, she will be beautiful and bubbling, and she can throw the second most beautiful girl in the school out of eight streets.
However, although Mingyue is beautiful, no boy dares to look at her more, let alone chase her.
Because Mingyue's personality is very irritable, if others don't say a word, they may make a few noises, and she just does it.
It is said that a boy was beaten into a pig's head by her because he looked at her a few more times and whistled a few words at her, and even his parents couldn't recognize him when he returned home.
So this kind of thorny flower, no boy dares to touch it, they are afraid that if they are not careful, they will be pricked with blood.
Fang Bai made a harmless joke with Mingyue along the way, and she glared at her a few times, threatening to beat Fang Bai.
If it were a boy who knew Mingyue's character, he would definitely be frightened by Mingyue's threat, but Fang Bai just smiled.
Although this little girl has learned some kung fu from her parents, she doesn't even have Zhenyuan in the sea of qi, indicating that she has not yet entered the hall and is not considered a martial artist, Fang Bai can put her clothes up with one finger.
In the department store, everything from refrigerators and color TVs to toothpaste and toothbrushes is available.
Accompanied by Mingyue, Fang Bai walked around the market and bought some toiletries and bedding.
When the things were bought, it was already dusk, Fang Bai was carrying a few large bags and small bags, Mingyue also took two for him, and the two walked towards the outside of the department store together.
"You must be tired and hungry after walking with me for so long, right? To show my gratitude to you, I invite you to dinner!"
When he arrived at the door of the department store and smelled the fragrance coming from a ramen restaurant, Fang Bai said to Mingyue with a smile.
"Do you have a mobile phone? borrow it from me, I'll call my dad and say you need to eat." ”
Mingyue is a bold personality and likes to make friends, she and Fang Bai walked all the way and chatted all the way, thinking that this big boy was still more chatty, Fang Bai wanted to invite her to dinner, and she was not polite.
Fang Bai freed his right hand, took out his mobile phone and handed it to Mingyue.
"Ah, it's still a fruit phone!Fang Bai, what is your family doing, it seems to be very rich!"
Mingyue took Fang Bai's mobile phone, first called her father at home, hung up the phone and looked at the phone carefully, and then stared at Fang Bai to ask.
Fang Bai scratched his head and said: "It's not that you have money, anyway, you can eat and dress warmly! Our family is a family of traditional Chinese medicine, and my father is an old Chinese medicine doctor, and he has a Chinese medicine hall in Zhongzhou." ”
Mingyue's eyes lit up, and she asked eagerly, "Is your father's medical skills high?"
"Honestly...... My dad's medical skills are not as good as mine. ”
"Alas......"
Mingyue was immediately deflated.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Mingyue's listless appearance, Fang Baiqi said.
Mingyue sighed and said, "My mother has been sick for more than ten years, and she can't be cured no matter how she treats it. In the last two years, the condition seems to have gotten worse. If your father's medical skills are good, I would like to ask him to come and see my mother. Results ......"
Fang Bai smiled: "As a result, you were disappointed when you heard that my father's medical skills were not as good as mine, weren't you?"
Mingyue nodded and said, "Yes." You're still an intern in medical school, and you don't think you're very good at medicine, and your dad is not as good as you, so that's not even better. ”
After a pause, without waiting for Fang Bai to speak, he turned around and walked towards the ramen restaurant, and said, "Let's eat." I have to go home after eating, otherwise my parents will be worried again. ”
