Chapter 31 Zhao Lei is crazy
The morning light was light, Zhang Zhen left Jingyu Villa and walked all the way to the hotel. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The result of this trip can be described as a success, not only to see the suspicious dog, but also to find out the details of the villa. Shi Huaze, this strange woman who had been famous for a long time in her early years, brought him a shock that lasted for a long time, and her demeanor made Zhang Zhen sigh every time she thought about it.
However, the only regret is that the clues to the haunted case in Beixinzhuang have been broken again.
I didn't expect to encounter such a confusing trouble in a small mountain villa the size of a palm. Zhang Zhen tried to recall several people's descriptions of the haunted incident in his mind, Xin Lao'er's words were too vague, and Zhao Lei's statement was weird, and Zhang Zhen had already seen these two people, and the only thing left was his brother who had grown from childhood to adulthood in the mouth of the oil seller.
Zhang Zhen decided to go back and look for the oil seller again.
When I got back to the hotel, the hotel had opened its gates, and a horse was tied to a willow tree with a crooked neck outside. There are often passers-by on the avenue, Zhang Zhen also cares a lot, walks into the lobby, looks up, but is stunned.
He met an unexpected person, and he didn't expect her to be here.
Red clothes and trousers, dazzling style, flowers and stamens.
The hotel shopkeeper stood at her table, filling her with wine, the shopkeeper's face was facing the wine bowl, but his eyes couldn't stop peeking at Hua Lianrui.
Seeing Zhang Zhen coming in from the outside, the hotel shopkeeper's expression was very complicated, including gratitude to Zhang Zhen for letting him go, and Zhang Zhen's shame for seeing through his tricks, as well as the surprise of why Zhang Zhen came in from the outside, mixed with the wonder of Zhang Zhen's muddy smell. With so many emotions squeezed on one face at the same time, it was really a little difficult for him.
"Tolerance-sir, early ...... Morning. The shopkeeper finally held back a sentence that no one could find fault.
Zhang Zhen nodded, sat down opposite Hua Lianrui, and said strangely: "Why are you here?" β
Hua Lianrui took a leisurely sip of wine, the corners of her mouth raised, and said: "The road is facing the sky, the autumn scenery is boundless, you can come, why can't I?" β
Zhang Zhen touched his nose and said helplessly: "Speak well." β
Hua Lianrui grinned, drank the wine in the bowl in one go, and said, "This wine is good, it has the cold strength of the north wind of the moon, why don't you taste it?" β
Zhang Zhen looked at Hua Lianrui's disgusted face, thought about it, and said with some shame: "You don't have to think about helping me all the time." β
Hua Lianrui put away the smile on her face and said, "I'm not here to help you, I'm here to find Zhao Lei." β
"Zhao Lei?" Zhang Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then it was not strange to think about it. When she was in the noodle restaurant, since she could invite Zhao Lei to help her, the two must have a good friendship. It's just that Zhang Zhen is a little curious that Zhao Lei is obviously a scholar who has read too many sage articles, and she ......
When thinking like this, Zhang Zhen laughed again, he really didn't know how to define what kind of person Hua Lianrui belonged to.
Hua Lianrui laughed for no reason when she saw Zhang Zhen and asked, "What are you laughing at?" β
"Nothing?" Zhang Zhen said hurriedly, and then picked up the previous topic: "What are you looking for Zhao Lei for?" β
Hua Lianrui said: "As soon as I sent him out of the yard, I heard that he was haunted by haunted things there, of course I want to come and see it." β
Zhang Zhen said: "Oh? That bamboo courtyard turned out to be a gift from you. β
At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the hotel, and Zhang Zhenshun looked towards the door, just as he saw a disheveled man with disheveled hair leaning forward, almost rushing into the door.
When the visitor saw Zhang Zhen, he shouted: "Zhang catches the head!" Go check it out! Our young master, he ...... Lose your marbles! β
The voice was anxious and frightened, but it was Steward Zhao, who had always behaved steadily and neatly.
Zhang Zhen suddenly stood up and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?" β
Steward Zhao's scattered hair blocked his vision, and he didn't have time to lift it, and said urgently: "I don't know, the young master has been restless since he came back last night, I boiled him some soothing medicine and fed him to drink." But he refused to sleep for a long time, and only kept talking about hauntings, and kept looking out into the woods, saying that there was something inside. I picked out a lantern and looked at it, but I didn't find anything, but the young master still insisted that there was something dangling inside. I didn't dare to go to sleep when I saw him like this, so I stayed next to him for half the night, and then I couldn't take a nap. Whoever wanted to open his eyes saw the young master with a kitchen knife, shouting and slashing in the yard. I tried to go up and stop him, but he didn't seem to know me at all, only said that there was a ghost, and slashed at me. I...... I really can't help it, so I'm coming to you, you go and have a look! β
As soon as Steward Zhao's voice fell, there was a sudden bang on the second floor of the hotel, which startled several people, and when they looked up, it was Yang Bantou who snatched it out of the guest room, and said while putting on his clothes: "I heard someone shouting, what's wrong?" β
Zhang Zhen said: "Zhao Lei has an accident, go and see!" β
The four of them hurried to the bamboo forest courtyard, and across the fence courtyard wall, they saw Zhao Lei standing in the courtyard with a kitchen knife in his hand and slashing around. His eyes were red and weeping, his mouth was constantly shouting, and his clothes were half open, like a madman.
The four of them had obviously walked towards him, but he didn't seem to see it, just his eyes were wandering around uneasily.
Zhang Zhen was about to try to comfort him, but he didn't want to hit him, and suddenly put the machete across his neck, it seemed that he was going to kill himself!
"Zhao Lei!" Zhang Zhen suddenly let out a loud shout, and the sound shook the four fields.
The movements of Zhao Lei's hands stopped, and a moment of confusion appeared on his crazy face, and the whole person was stunned.
He looked at Zhang Zhen a little blankly, but Zhang Zhen clearly felt that he didn't see him, and there was no focus in his pupils.
Soon, he clenched the kitchen knife in his hand again.
"Young Masterβ" Steward Zhao was about to cry out anxiously.
At this moment, Zhang Zhen suddenly started, and the person was like a thunderous arrow shot by a full iron tire bow, and the five-step distance was instantaneous, directly knocking Zhao Lei to the ground. The kitchen knife in Zhao Lei's hand was raised into the air and spun around a few times, and it smashed to the ground with a bang.
Steward Zhao burst into tears on the spot, threw himself beside Zhao Lei and hugged him in his arms, crying, "Young master, why can't you think about it...... If you go, how can the old slave live......"
Zhao Lei's eyes were closed, his arms hung down weakly, and he didn't react, but his mouth gradually overflowed with white foam.
Steward Zhao's face changed, shook Zhao Lei's body, and said in shock and urgency: "Young master? Master? β
Seeing this, Zhang Zhen's heart jumped: Could it be that I hit him too hard and actually killed him?
Zhang Zhen was anxious to save people, but he didn't spare half of his strength under the storm, and he couldn't control his strength at all when he bumped into Zhao Lei. He knows how strong he is, Zhao Lei's body is already weak, and he is weak in blood and blood after being troubled, and it is really possible to return to the west after this collision.
At this time, Hua Lianrui rushed to Zhao Lei's side and squatted down, touched Zhao Lei's pulse, opened his eyelids and looked at him, and said, "He just fainted." β
Zhang Zhen, Zhao Butler, and Yang Bantou exhaled in unison.
But Hua Lianrui's delicate eyebrows quickly wrinkled again, and her attention stopped on the white foam that Zhao Lei spit out, leaned over and sniffed, and then said to Steward Zhao: "Have you ever given him anything to eat?" β
Steward Zhao thought for a while and said, "Since the young master came back from Tushan yesterday, he hasn't eaten, and I only gave him a bowl of calming medicine. β
Hua Lianrui said: "Are there any of those medicinal herbs?" Show it to me. β
Steward Zhao hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, yes." Then he realized something and asked, "What, is there something wrong with those medicines?" β
Hua Lianrui said: "Bring it to me first." β
It seems that Steward Zhao really cares for Zhao Lei, he listened to Hua Lianrui's words and wanted to find medicine, but he couldn't bear to put his young master on the ground, and he was in a dilemma for a while.
Seeing this, Zhang Zhen walked over and took Zhao Lei from Steward Zhao's arms, carried him to the bamboo bed in the house and let him lie down, and Hua Lianrui and Yang Bantou also followed into the house.
Soon Steward Zhao took a paper bag and put it on the table. A few people gathered around, untied the rope and looked, and saw that it was full of powdered sand and gravel, and there were some dried grass threads mixed with them.
Probably looking different from common medicinal materials, Yang Bantou said curiously: "Are these things also medicinal materials?" β
Hua Lianrui pinched some in his hand, looked carefully at the medicinal materials in the paper bag, and said: "Tranquilizers are divided into two categories: calming the nerves and nourishing the heart and calming the nerves. The former is a heavy mineral substance, such as cinnabar, amber, magnet, etc., which is mostly used for palpitations, insomnia, epilepsy, irritability, irritability and other symptoms of yang qi restlessness and restlessness. Zhao Lei's illness was caused by ghosts, and Lang Zhong did not prescribe these drugs wrongly, but ......"
As she spoke, she picked out a few shredded hay from the medicinal herbs and put them on the tip of her nose and sniffed them, and suddenly said to Steward Zhao: "Langzhong's prescription is still there?" β
Steward Zhao also seemed to be a thoughtful person, and when he heard this, he directly took out a prescription from his arms and handed it to Hua Lianrui. Hua Lianrui took it and glanced at it, pinched a few strands of hay and said very seriously to Steward Zhao: "Where did these things come from?" β
Steward Zhao said a little dazedly: "I took the prescription to the pharmacy to grab the medicine, and the shopkeeper of the pharmacy wrapped these for me." β
Zhang Zhen noticed something and asked, "What?" What's wrong? β
Hua Lianrui handed the hay silk in his hand to Zhang Zhen, Zhang Zhen stretched out his hand to take it, he didn't understand the medicinal materials, he only smelled it symbolically, and said, "What's the matter?" What is this? β
Hua Lianrui frowned and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this is a poisonous weed from southern Xinjiang, called Xiao Shaozi." After cooking, the mouth is sweet and the taste is excellent, but if you eat too much, you will have symptoms of nausea and vomiting, increased speech, and visual hallucinations. β
"Hallucinations?" Zhang Zhen's heart moved, and he blurted out: "You mean to say that Zhao Lei saw a ghost, which was caused by hallucinations after taking this medicinal herb?" β
Hua Lianrui nodded.
Zhang Zhen immediately said to Steward Zhao, and his voice was a few points higher: "Who is Lang Zhong who prescribed medicine to Zhao Lei?" Where does he live? β
Before Steward Zhao could answer, Hua Lianrui pulled Zhang Zhen, took the hay silk in Zhang Zhen's hand, put it in front of him, and said faintly: "This flavor medicine is not on the prescription at all." β
