Chapter 873: See the Old Man Again
Yang Xianmao said: "Your father's disease is a kind of old cough, and this disease is difficult to treat with ordinary prescriptions. I found a prescription in an ancient book, but this prescription requires a very important medicine, the name of this medicine is Liang Shangchen, simply put, the dust on the beams of the house, also known as oolongwei. However, not the dust on the beams of any house can be used as medicine, and it is necessary to find the dust on the beams that are old and have extremely heavy yin qi to be effective. Mixing this dust with three other medicines and making a powder will cure your father's illness, and now I will go and take the dust from this girder. ”
Luo Xiaomei was stunned when she heard this, and said, "It's the first time I've heard that someone uses the dust on the beams of the house to make medicine, if this is what someone else said, I won't believe it." But Brother Yang, I fully believe what you said. This thing will definitely be able to make medicine, and it will definitely cure my father's illness. But I can't let you in alone, I'm going to go with you. ”
Yang Xianmao could fully understand this thought in Luo Xiaomei's heart at this time, because when he was in the haunted house, Luo Xiaomei always followed him, even if there were white bones in it. For Luo Xiaomei, she would rather choose to follow Yang Xianmao to take an adventure than face this terrifying yamen alone outside. Especially now that she knows that her father has that kind of thought, she has subconsciously begun to recognize Yang Xianmao as his future husband, so she must follow him to birth and death.
Yang Xianmao didn't say much, just nodded, and took Luo Xiaomei into the lobby of the yamen.
The lobby has its doors open, while there are rows of windows on each side, some of which are open and some are hidden. The moonlight outside was bright, and the reflected moonlight was enough for them to see what was going on in the lobby.
Luo Xiaomei followed Yang Xianmao into the lobby, Yang Xianmao looked up at the roof, the dim roof is basically not clear in the eyes of others, because it itself is not illuminated by the light, and the light scattered from the outside is already very weak when reflected to the roof. But in Yang Xianmao's gaze, the situation on the roof can be clearly displayed in front of him.
Yang Xianmao chose the beam near the top of the lobby and came to the column next to the beam. In fact, he can easily jump on that beam, but he must deal with it according to the methods of normal people, and he can't let Luo Xiaomei know that he has martial arts.
Yang Xianmao hugged the pillar and slowly climbed up to the beam. In order to relax her nervous mood, Luo Xiaomei said loudly: "Brother Yang, your ability to climb trees is really amazing. When I was a child, I was very naughty, and I often dug out the bird's nest. ”
Yang Xianmao laughed twice, and carefully reached out and touched the beam. He gathered some of the dust on the beam, and then took out a handkerchief from his bosom, wrapped the dust in the handkerchief, and wrapped it in his bosom.
After fetching the soil from the beam, Yang Xianmao was about to go down from the pillar, and inadvertently looked down, and at this moment, he was so frightened by the scene he saw that his hair stood on end. - He saw that in the dark, a man, dressed in an official robe, was silently turning out from behind a screen, and walked towards Luo Xiaomei without any sound.
Luo Xiaomei had her back to the lobby, and she didn't see the ghost-like man in an official robe who suddenly appeared behind her.
Yang Xianmao saw that the man was about to walk to Luo Xiaomei's side, he didn't care about anything else, and immediately shouted: "Stop, what are you going to do?"
immediately jumped directly from the air, and landed accurately between the official and Luo Xiaomei, standing firmly.
When Luo Xiaomei heard Yang Xianmao's exclamation, she immediately looked back, and then turned her head to look at Yang Xianmao in horror.
Yang Xianmao smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." ”
The officer immediately stopped. After glancing at Yang Xianmao twice, he said in a cold voice: "Who are you and why did you come here? Don't you know that this is the important place of the yamen?"
Yang Xianmao said: "We are not bad people, we live in the city." This girl's father was the shopkeeper of Luo Laohan Luo, who was dismissed from the silk shop, and he was very ill and found a home remedy to take the soil on the girder to use for medicine. So we're just here to get some medicine, not the bad guys, you let us go. ”
"Ridiculous. The official said in a cold voice, and his voice didn't seem to have any temperature: "Who said that the soil on the beams of the house can be used in medicine, there are too many quacks in this world, and it is not false that quacks harm people." ”
"I don't dare to say that it is a miracle doctor, but it is not a quack doctor either. As soon as he said this, Yang Xianmao suddenly paused, stared at the official in front of him, and said slowly: "You are Wang Tongju?"
The official was obviously stunned for a moment, looked Yang Xianmao up and down, squinted his eyes and said, "I don't know you, how can you know this official?"
Yang Xianmao recognized this Wang Tongju, who was one of the two people he had treated in the plague in the capital forty years ago. The other one who came with him was Zeng Gong's younger brother Zeng Bu. At that time, Yang Xianmao's prescription had not yet been successfully developed, so in the end, he was not able to cure this Wang Tongju.
Forty years ago, Wang Tongju died in front of him, but now he has appeared here alive. Isn't this a living hell? So Yang Xianmao was completely stunned just now, and he couldn't speak when he looked at the other party.
Judging from the other party's expression and reaction, Yang Xianmao could be sure that the other party did not recognize him. This made Yang Xianmao feel even more strange, because although Wang Tongju was already in a semi-coma when he was sent, he still had a certain consciousness. Yang Xianmao also briefly inquired about his condition, and the medicine boy on the side also introduced his identity to him. Wang Tongju nodded at himself at that time, why can't he recognize it at all now.
Yang Xianmao deliberately twisted his face to the brightly lit side, so that the scattered moonlight could clearly shine on his face, so that Wang Tongju could see himself clearly.
But Wang Tongju didn't look at him, it seemed that he had seen the person in front of him clearly, there was no need to look carefully, or he had something more important. Because he had already turned around and shouted to the inner room, "Lord Zeng, there are two people who have trespassed into the court, what do you think should be done?"
Yang Xianmao was overjoyed, the Zeng man he called was the Zeng Bu who came with him to see him at that time? This Zeng Bu was saved by Yang Xianmao, so if it was Zeng Bu, he should be able to recognize himself. However, Yang Xianmao ignored one thing at this moment, that is, Wang Tongju also saw him when he was not dead at that time, but Wang Tongju did not recognize him, which makes people feel creepy when they think about it.
As soon as Wang Tongju's voice fell, a middle-aged man in an official robe walked out from behind the screen, holding his beard and walking slowly, it was the Zeng Bu who Yang Xianmao had treated him and rescued him from the hands of death. Yang Xianmao immediately clenched his fists and said, "Lord Zeng, do you still recognize me?"
Zeng Bu looked Yang Xianmao up and down, and it seemed that the light was too dim to see clearly. He walked to the window on the side, then turned his face sideways, looked at Yang Xianmao in the direction of the light, and said, "Who are you? Why did you come to the yamen hall at this time?"
Yang Xianmao was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Lord Zeng, I am Yang Xianmao of Tai Hospital, and we have met in the capital. ”
Yang Xianmao's appearance had not changed from when he was in the Tai Hospital, and he believed that Zeng Bu would definitely recognize him. But the expression on Zeng Bu's face obviously didn't recognize him, Zeng Bu just frowned and said to Wang Tongju: "Don't worry about them, I'm still busy with official business." I heard the movement just now that I asked you to take a look, but it was delayed for a long time, so hurry up and go in to deal with official business. There is nothing in this hall, and ordinary people are not forbidden to enter. ”
After that, he glanced at Yang Xianmao again, and then looked at Luo Xiaomei, who was staring at them dumbfounded behind Yang Xianmao, and then flicked the sleeves of his robe and turned around and entered behind the screen. Wang Tongju also glanced at Yang Xianmao and said, "Okay, let's go." Lord Zhizhou is not going to cure your sins, so leave quickly. Although it is not forbidden for people to enter the lobby at will, but now that Lord Zhizhou is handling official business, it is better for you not to come in and disturb it, and leave quickly. ”
Immediately, Wang Tong flicked the sleeves of his robe, and walked behind the screen with his back and square steps. Yang Xianmao was stunned for a moment and shouted: "Lord Zeng, Wang Tongju, please stay, I have something to say." ”
Yang Xianmao stepped forward quickly, and when he reached the screen, he froze. Because there is no door behind the screen, and there is no one.
Where did these two people come from? Where did they go after they entered the screen, Yang Xianmao only felt his head flutter for a while.
He immediately turned around and saw Luo Xiaomei following behind him, looking at him with a very nervous expression, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Luo Xiaomei didn't have an accident. Luo Xiaomei said nervously: "What's the matter, Brother Yang, what did you see?"
"Nothing, where did the two of them come from? Did I enter the parallel world again?"
"Parallel worlds?
"It was a few years ago when I was in the Arctic cold, and I was looking for a miracle medicine. As a result, after entering there, our group encountered a lot of strange things along the way. Including our people will die suddenly, and our dogs pulling sleds on the ice fields will die in inexplicable droves, and our people will disappear into thin air. No one knew what was going on, and it wasn't until I was taken to a mysterious world by a mysterious person that I realized that there was another world that existed at the same time as ours. And our dogs, the people who mysteriously disappeared, including the soldiers who were killed by mysterious powers, are all because of those people and animal monsters from this mysterious space. At that time, I was still in that mysterious space, and I had experienced many strange and terrifying things. ”
