Chapter 43: Suspicion
When I returned to the store, I saw Uncle Wei frowning and thinking about something, I understand Uncle Wei's temper, and I can't say anything.
The next morning, when I went out to buy groceries, I saw a few staff members in white coats, and when I inquired, I found out that they were from the health defense station.
"Master, the health defense station is exterminating rats by the lake. "I'll say it when I get home after buying groceries.
"I'm afraid it's not that easy to extinguish. Uncle Wei sighed and said.
"Are you suspicious of anything?" I asked.
"I can't tell, it's strange, I'm afraid it's not that simple. Uncle Wei shook his head.
In the morning, not a single patient came to the pharmacy, I was happy to practice insect control in the backyard, and the communication with the ants was simple, I became more and more proficient, and I was able to control the ants running around, and I also tried to control two at the same time, but it didn't work, it seemed that my ability could only do this.
At noon, Uncle Wei and I were eating in the store, and suddenly a large group of people poured in outside the door.
"This is it, I was cured here last night!" shouted a man in his fifties.
"That's it, I can testify, and it only cost fifty dollars!" a young man beside the man also shouted.
I immediately recognized the patient from last night, and a young man who had carried him over.
"Doctor, I've also been bitten by rats, so take a look. Several people raised their feet in unison.
I didn't expect this effect, a patient actually brought us so much business, I immediately started to get busy, several people were bitten by rats, but the injuries were not serious, I did it one by one, at this time I did not persuade them to go to the hospital, I took Uncle Wei's medicine powder and used it, Uncle Wei said that there is no need to inject if you use this.
"What! Eighty, yesterday Lao Zhang was so heavy that he only received fifty!" a patient exclaimed to me.
"Yesterday my master did a good deed, but today there are too many people, what will we eat if we do good deeds. "I'm not polite.
When I treated the patient, Uncle Wei went out, and I took the opportunity to raise the price when he was not there, in fact, it is not a price increase, but a normal charge, I am not like Uncle Wei, I have to worry about my livelihood.
"Lao Zhang, are you getting a kickback!" the patient scolded Lao Zhang.
"Heaven and earth conscience, I don't have ......" Lao Zhang was anxious.
"Forget it, it's really fair, go to the hospital and wrap up a few hundred!" someone said fairly.
After a busy afternoon, patients came to the door one after another, and I treated more than 20 of them, and Uncle Wei stopped when he came back.
"Master, where have you been, I'm tired to death!" I pretended to beat my waist, in fact, my heart was happy, there were more patients and more income, and only this day's turnover satisfied me after opening for so long.
"What are you holding!" I was stunned for a moment, Uncle Wei was carrying a mouse cage in his hand.
"Xiao An, let's go catch mice at night. Uncle Wei raised the rat cage and said.
Uncle Wei and I stayed in the store until dark, and then we went out.
"You really have to worry about it, didn't the health station all come forward? I muttered.
Uncle Wei glared at me, and I immediately shut my mouth!
Uncle Wei took me to the edge of Bihu, and I carried the rat cage in my hand. There was a faint smell in the air, and I knew that it was the medicine sprayed by the health station, and a large area of rodent control was carried out around the lake throughout the day, and a lot of medicine was sprayed.
The potion drove away the tourists who were usually by the lake, and we basically didn't meet anyone along the way.
"Just leave it here. After walking for a while, Uncle Wei stopped, and Uncle Wei pointed to a willow tree.
I placed the mouse cage under Uncle Liu according to my words, and there was a piece of fat in the cage, and we went back to the store after putting the cage away.
As soon as I walked in the door, the phone rang in my pocket.
"I heard that many people in Bihu Park have been bitten by rats in the past two days, are you all right? The call was from Molly, and she asked on the phone.
"It's okay, we went out to catch rats just now. I laughed.
After a few conversations, I hung up.
I went out early the next morning to check, and there was no mouse in the rat cage, but strangely the piece of fat was gone.
I came back with an empty cage.
"Didn't catch it?" Uncle Wei frowned: "It shouldn't be, I specially made that piece of meat, as long as there are mice, it is impossible not to catch it." ”
"Maybe break free. I pointed to a handful of animal pelts in the cage.
"Could it be that someone put it ......down," Uncle Wei muttered.
"How is it possible, who would be so boring. "I didn't take it too seriously.
In the morning, many people who were bitten by rats came here, and our pharmacy was also famous, and many patients came here.
At noon, an acquaintance suddenly came, Section Chief Chen!
"Old Wei, Doctor An. ”
Section Chief Chen was very polite, his body still looked a little weak, but his spirit was fine.
"Why did you get discharged from the hospital so quickly, are you feeling better?" I asked.
It's over, and I don't want to worry about it anymore, it's better to have a good relationship than to make an enemy this year.
"There was such a big incident, the whole house was in chaos, and I couldn't lie down. Section Chief Chen smiled bitterly. "Doctor An, you didn't find any rats in your store, these rats are crazy, and they dare to run around in broad daylight. ”
"We're fine. I answered.
"I don't know what's wrong, just Bihu Park has this incident, and our office just happens to be in charge of this area, and if the trouble continues, everyone will be finished!" Section Chief Chen shook his head and sighed and complained.
"What are you talking about? Uncle Wei suddenly asked.
"You don't know, the only thing that plagues rats is Bihu Garden, and there is no other place, we have done a large-scale investigation, and it's strange that all the rats hurt people in Bihu Park. Section Chief Chen explained.
I was also stunned for a moment, it shouldn't be, rats scurrying around shouldn't be concentrated in one place to bite, Bihu is very big, Bihu Park only occupies a small area, so it really doesn't make sense.
"I'm busy, I'm going to exterminate rats on a large scale today, and no one dares to come to Bihu Park if it goes on, and now many merchants are complaining." After hurriedly saying a few words, Section Chief Chen left.
I also frowned as soon as Section Chief Chen left, at first I thought that rats were biting people was nothing, and even brought us some business, but Section Chief Chen's words made me worried, and it is true that who would dare to come to Bihu Park if it continues like this, and the number of tourists has decreased greatly in the past few days.
Uncle Wei's face was even more worried, and I couldn't help but say, "It's as if someone is controlling those mice!"
"What are you talking about!" Uncle Wei looked at me sharply.
A cool breath rushed up from the bottom of my heart.
"Master, did you start to suspect it a long time ago?"
Uncle Wei sighed.
"No......" I felt my heart jump a few times, if someone did it on purpose, who could have such a means?
Another insect master! I couldn't help but shudder.
