Volume 1 Chapter 66 The Deadly Red Demon Flower
Although Wang Shizhen and Ma Wenbo came relatively late, on the way, they had already inquired in detail about Li Mei's strange illness with Li Wenzhong, Xu Shengwang, and Liu Liansheng, three famous doctors, on the phone, and they had already prepared in their hearts.
Therefore, when they walked into this damp and dark room and saw the strange appearance of Daddy Li Mei like a zombie, they were not as startled as the doctors who arrived earlier.
Wang Shizhen and Ma Wenbo nodded at their acquaintances in the room, as a greeting, but they didn't stop at all, and walked straight to the bed by the window to check the condition of Li Mei's father.
While checking, the two also exchanged heads.
They seem to have some clues about the strange disease that Daddy Li Mei suffers from.
After a while, Wang Shizhen withdrew the hand that was checking the pulse of Daddy Li Mei.
After a slight groan, he raised his head and stared at Li Mei, and asked something that had nothing to do with his condition: "Miss Li, I have a question, and I ask you to answer it seriously--what kind of enemy does your father have? Or did he offend anyone before this strange illness attacked?"
Regarding the question raised by Wang Shizhen, among these people in the room, except for Ma Wenbo and Lin Yang, and the ghost Chen Shiwen floating in mid-air, no one knew what it meant.
However, Wang Shizhen's prestige is there after all, even if others are puzzled by his question, they are not in a hurry to question it, but they just guess in their hearts that he will ask such a question that has nothing to do with his condition.
"It is worthy of Wang Shizhen, and when he came, he saw that Li Mei's father was not suffering from an ordinary disease, but Gu worm disease. Chen Shiwen nodded slightly, smiling.
For Wang Shizhen, he has always had a feeling of being a hero and cherishing a hero.
Li Mei didn't understand Wang Shizhen's question, and after being stunned for a moment, she still replied: "My father has no enemies, at least I have never heard him talk about it." However, before he became ill, we did offend a group of people......"
Speaking of this, she frowned, as if she had guessed something.
But she didn't ask in a hurry, but after taking a deep breath and stabilizing her mind, she recalled: "It was three months ago, my father and I went into the depths of Changbai Mountain to pick ginseng as in previous years. In recent years, due to the development of tourism and the excessive collection of ginseng by ginseng pickers, the number of savage parameters in Changbai Mountain has decreased sharply. We searched in the mountains for more than half a month, and only picked a few wild ginseng plants, and the quality was not very good. Just when we were about to go out of the mountain full of disappointment, it suddenly rained, and we had to find a nearby cave to escape from the rain. It was in that cave that we found this 500-year-old wild ginseng king......"
It can be seen that Li Mei is not a storyteller. This experience, in her mouth, is as plain as water without the slightest ripple. However, these people present could still imagine the ecstatic appearance of the two at that time.
Because, what they found was a 500-year-old wild ginseng king!
For any ginseng picker, this is something to be proud of, to be able to boast of a lifetime of great achievements!
However, for Li Mei at this moment, she would rather never have encountered this 500-year-old wild ginseng king......
Looking down at Daddy and sighing, Li Mei continued: "That rainstorm lasted for two days. Two days later, Daddy and I picked the 500-year-old wild ginseng and prepared to leave Changbai Mountain. We all know that having such a rare and precious wild ginseng king in hand is enough to exchange for an endless period of glory and wealth, and there is no need to continue to suffer in the mountains. However, not long after we left the cave, four men in jackets who looked like they were more travelers than pickers chased after us from the direction of the cave and threatened us with the handover of the 500-year-old Wild Ginseng King. ”
"Although the other party has a gun in his hand, the five-hundred-year-old Wild Ginseng King is worth a fortune, how can we be willing to hand it over?" Daddy quietly glanced at me, and then took out the Wild Ginseng King from the back basket and threw it to the four people. Taking advantage of the fact that their attention was attracted by the Wild Ginseng King, Daddy and I rushed to them at the same time. As a ginseng picker who often shuttles in the mountains and forests, he has more or less a few hands on his body. Otherwise, before the ginseng was picked, it was taken away by wild beasts. Those four people, obviously didn't expect me and Daddy to dare to attack them, nor did they expect that our kung fu was not weak, and before we could pull the trigger, they were all knocked down. ”
Although Li Mei said it very simply, everyone could still imagine the tense and dangerous scene at that time.
Li Mei and her father were able to subdue four people with guns, although there were factors that took advantage of their unpreparedness, but their own strength would definitely not be as simple as ordinary practitioners.
"My father has always been merciful, and he didn't want to harm the lives of these four people, but he just took their weapons and let them go after a lesson. Afterwards, we re-embarked on the road and took another road out of Changbai Mountain. But just as he was about to leave the mountain, he suddenly smelled a faint and tempting medicinal fragrance......"
Speaking of this, Li Mei's eyes flashed with a mixture of chagrin, regret, and fear.
"Because I have a five-hundred-year-old wild ginseng king in my hand, I am not very interested in this medicinal fragrance. But Daddy said that if he smelled the medicinal fragrance and didn't pick it, he was a tyrannical thing, and he would be blamed by the mountain god. So, the two of us followed the medicinal fragrance and came to a mountain col. ”
"Inside this col, there is a meandering stream. By the stream, a bewitching red flower blooms. The saffron had a strange appearance, and we had never seen it before. And the alluring medicinal fragrance is emanating from this red flower. Daddy was very excited when he saw it, saying that although this was not ginseng, it was a medicinal material that he had never seen before, and it was a major discovery. So, he hurried towards the safflower and reached out to pluck it. But at this time, the red flower ...... But ......"
Li Mei's body began to tremble violently.
Obviously, this memory left a deep impression on her.
This impression is extremely terrifying!
However, she was extremely self-regulated, and soon got rid of her fears, continuing:
"I saw that the red flower suddenly turned into countless red flesh worms as thin as hair, and with lightning speed, crawled along my father's hand, crawled onto his body, and drilled into his body from the nine orifices. By the time I reacted, Daddy was already on the ground, unconscious. And the bewitching red flower also disappeared. Because, it's not a flower at all, let alone a medicinal herb, but a terrible trap made up of countless red flesh worms! I carried my father out of Changbai Mountain on my back and sought medical advice everywhere. It's a pity that all the famous doctors are helpless about this disease......"
The story of Li Mei and her father has twists and turns and bizarre, even though these people present are well-informed, they are also jaw-dropping.
Some people even can't help but wonder if the experience Li Mei told is true, or is it a legendary story seen in a novel?
Because, this experience is really incredible.
However, Lin Yang did not doubt the authenticity of Li Mei's words.
Because he believes that Li Mei will never lie about this matter related to the safety of her father's life.
Similarly, Wang Shizhen and Ma Wenbo also think so.
After discussing a few words in a whisper, Ma Wenbo gave their diagnosis: "Through the symptoms of Mr. Li's illness and the experience told by Miss Li, we can basically be sure that Mr. Li is not suffering from ordinary parasitic diseases, but - Guwormosis!"
"Guworms?"
Some of these people in the room were surprised and some were confused.
After all, not everyone has heard of the name of Guwormiasis, especially those doctors who have a clinical background and don't know much about traditional Chinese medicine, they are even more confused, and they still rely on asking people around them to figure out the meaning of 'Guwormism'.
After a burst of exclamations and whispers, someone questioned the diagnosis: "Ma Lao, you said that Mr. Li is suffering from Gu worm disease? However, Gu worm disease has always existed only in legends?
"Of course there are Gu worms. Ma Wenbo looked solemn, nodded and replied: "In the medical literature of the past dynasties, to a greater or lesser extent, Gu worm disease has been mentioned. But because the condition of this disease is special, it can even be said to be weird and bizarre, so people often regard it as a made-up legend. Once, I was of the same opinion as you. But after that experience nineteen years ago, I believe that there are Gu worms on this shijie......"
At this point, he sighed faintly and did not continue
What happened nineteen years ago? Ma Wenbo was reluctant to say, and no matter how curious everyone was, it was difficult for them to ask.
Wang Shizhen took over the topic and said: "Actually, Mr. Li's Gu worm disease is the diagnosis of me, Lao Ma, Li Zhongwen, Xu Shengwang, and Liu Liansheng. Before, we were just skeptical. But the experience told by Miss Li makes us sure that her father is suffering from Guworm disease!"
Hearing this, everyone had no opinion.
After all, Wang Shizhen, Ma Wenbo, Li Zhongwen, Xu Shengwang, and Liu Liansheng are all famous doctors at home and abroad. The diagnosis made by them together is authoritative and basically infallible.
"Gu worm disease?" Li Mei whispered a few words, she was already desperate, but at this moment she saw hope again, and hurriedly asked: "Doctor Wang, Doctor Ma, since you can diagnose my daddy suffering from Gu worm disease, then you must have a way to cure him, right?"
Ma Wenbo replied: "We already have a rough treatment plan. However, before giving your daddy treatment, we have one more question that we hope you can answer truthfully. ”
"You ask. Li Mei nodded vigorously.
