Chapter 324: Strange Old Man
The two of them walked forward, and the surrounding shops were empty, and without exception, the doors were closed.
"What's going on in this town? It's close to the station, and if the shop is open, it's supposed to be the best place to pay off. Qin Xiusheng looked around at the shops, trying to find one that was still open, but failed, "How can there not even be a single person who is open?"
Luo Ziran didn't answer, and the desolation of the town made him feel very depressed. Neither of them spoke again, and headed for the candlelight in the distance.
I walked for a long time, and I saw that I was about to reach a place where the candlelight was lit. Along the way, the two didn't even meet a passerby, which made people feel very weird. Even Qin Xiusheng, who had never believed in ghosts and gods, couldn't help but muttered in his heart, could it be that there was really something unclean in this town?
"Who are you?" Suddenly, an old voice sounded from behind them.
Qin Xiusheng was startled, he hurriedly turned his head and saw an elderly man standing behind him, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Uncle, we are passing passengers and want to ......"
Before Qin Xiusheng could finish speaking, the old man grinned and showed a weird smile, "Since you are a passerby, let's stay here." ”
As he spoke, the old man led the two of them towards the place where the candlelight was lit. Qin Xiusheng and Luo Ziran glanced at each other, and they both saw a trace of worry in each other's eyes.
Luo Ziran frowned, took two quick steps under his feet, and rushed behind the old man, "Uncle, why are all the shops in this town deserted?"
Hearing Luo Ziran's words, the old man turned around and looked at him deeply. His eyes were deeply sunken, even during the day, they looked a little oozing, not to mention that it was dark now.
Luo Ziran was startled, and hurriedly said, "If you don't want to answer, then don't answer, just because I haven't asked." ”
There was not the slightest emotion in the old man's eyes, and he turned away again, muttering, "This is a place cursed by the devil, and no one wants to come here, so those shops will naturally be deserted." ”
The old man's words aroused Qin Xiusheng's interest, he didn't believe in ghosts and gods, so naturally he didn't believe in curses even more. In his opinion, from ancient times to the present, the so-called curses and ghosts are not ghosts and gods, but people with evil intentions. They concoct cursed things in order to reach some kind of ulterior secret.
"Old man, how did you know that this place was cursed?" Qin Xiusheng stopped, wanting to take this opportunity to inquire about the affairs of the town.
The old man opened his mouth, suddenly thought of something, and then shook his head vigorously.
"You can't say, especially at night, that you will be retaliated against. As he spoke, the old man looked around vigilantly, his eyes full of fear.
Seeing the old man's appearance, Qin Xiusheng's heart became even more puzzled. He frowned slightly, a flash of anger on his face. In his opinion, all the curses were maliciously made up. It made him very annoyed to make a good town look like this.
"Brother Qin, what do you think about the curse?" Luo Ziran, who was on the side, put his mouth to Qin Xiusheng's ear and asked in a low voice.
"Someone must be pretending to be a ghost, although I don't know what his purpose is, but I definitely can't watch him act recklessly!"
Hearing Qin Xiusheng's words, a trace of hesitation flashed in Luo Ziran's eyes, and he was seen by Qin Xiusheng.
"Ziran, don't you believe that there really is a curse in the town, do you?"
Luo Ziran hurriedly shook his head and said, "How is it possible? We are doctors, how can we believe in strange forces? But do you really want to care about what is happening in this town?"
Qin Xiusheng nodded vigorously and said, "Why don't you care, of course you have to take care of it!" Take advantage of the ignorance of the villagers to make up a cursed thing, and turn the originally good town into what it is now, how can you ignore this kind of thing?"
"Brother Qin, although I agree with your statement, it's just that ......" Luo Ziran hesitated for a moment and continued to speak, "It's just that it will take a long time for the town to become like this, and it seems that the town's minds are already deeply ingrained in the curse, and we may not be able to change their opinions for a while." And don't we still have to look for the Gongsun family? The day of the acupuncture conference is approaching, and we have no extra time to waste. ”
Hearing Luo Ziran's words, a trace of hesitation flashed in Qin Xiusheng's eyes. They were indeed pressed for time, but he really couldn't do anything about the town.
"Ziran, if you leave things here alone, even if you succeed in getting the "Green Bag" and defeating Su Jin at the acupuncture conference, I can't let go of my psychology. ”
Hearing Qin Xiusheng's serious words, Luo Ziran had to sigh helplessly, "Brother Qin, since you said so, then we can take care of it." But you have to promise me one thing. ”
"What's the matter?" Qin Xiusheng glanced at Luo Ziran suspiciously, he couldn't think of what conditions Luo Ziran would propose.
Luo Ziran glanced at Qin Xiusheng deeply, and said in a deep voice, "You have to promise me, don't force yourself." As things stand, the townsfolk believe in the curse, and if we uncover the truth, they may not be willing to accept it. You know, it's not surprising that the bewitched townsfolk do anything excessive. ”
Qin Xiusheng nodded and agreed to Luo Ziran's conditions. The things that Luo Ziran proposed were also the things he was most worried about. If the townspeople did anything to them at the instigation of the mastermind behind the scenes, there would be no way for the two of them to resist with their weak strength.
Qin Xiusheng's face was very ugly, as far as he could see, it was extremely difficult to help the villagers unravel the truth of being fooled. Moreover, even if Qin Xiusheng came up with clear evidence, these villagers might not believe what he said.
Thinking of this, Qin Xiusheng felt a big head. He even had the idea of ignoring what was happening here, but when he thought about it, he could only sigh and dismiss this thought.
As a doctor, it is certainly his job to treat diseases and save people. And helping the fooled villagers in this town is also his unshirkable responsibility.
Biting his lip hard, Qin Xiusheng clenched his fists tightly, making a crisp sound of bones. Qin Xiusheng made up his mind that he must take care of this matter to the end, and he couldn't watch the villagers being fooled.
Qin Xiusheng made a decision to take care of what happened in the town to the end. Looking at Qin Xiusheng's resolute gaze, even Luo Ziran was infected. He held Qin Xiusheng's hand tightly, and then nodded vigorously, "Brother Qin, no matter what decision you make, I will resolutely help you." ”
