Chapter IV: Disappearance

Jiang Qu's left hand was bitten by the man, but fortunately, the material of the clothes was quite wearable, and a layer of skin was not bitten off because of the sleeves, but it was also bitten out of a row of tooth marks. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Dr. Zhong gave Jiang Qu the medicine, and scolded them for a few outsiders who had only been here for a day, and they had caused him a lot of trouble.

Qian Ruyue said, "It's that man who is crazy himself, what's the matter with us." It's obviously a stone, but if you insist on what kind of dowry it is, I think it's a fraud. ”

You can find the kind of stones everywhere, and you can pick up several pieces by bending down. The man was going to kill her for such a worthless thing. Later, it was Sima Luming who knocked people out and dragged them into the house.

Doctor Zhong said, "Although I don't know where you came from, you can also see from your behavior and clothing that you should be from a wealthy background. Naturally, we don't know what kind of life we poor people live. The crazy man you said is called Zhang Sheng, and he and his daughter-in-law have been pro-plum sweethearts since he was a child, and he decided to marry a baby at the age of five, and he has never quarreled for more than ten years. When the two got married, they also specially invited me to drink the wedding wine, and when his daughter-in-law got married, he didn't have a dowry jewelry, so Zhang Sheng picked up the stone, saying that one day he would earn silver and buy jewelry for her. ”

Everyone in the village knew about this, and the girls in the village at that time were envious of Zhang Sheng's daughter-in-law, including Ju Xiang, saying that although they had a hard time, they could marry such a good husband, and their lives were also bitter and sweet. It hurt him that he was still thinking about whether his daughter was also thinking about getting married, and he was thinking about finding a good in-law for her.

"When a man dies, he can't even afford a coffin, and he may feel indebted to his daughter-in-law. I guess he wanted to bury the stone, but it was lost by a few of you. Doctor Zhong's reproachful gaze shot over, and the force of the bandaging increased a little.

Jiang Qu didn't cry out for pain, but he also felt innocent, it didn't seem that he kicked the stone, but it turned out that he was the one who was abused.

When Gu Changsheng heard Dr. Zhong say that there was such a meaning behind the stone, he also felt that Zhang Sheng was pitiful. "Maybe you didn't get too far, and you can get it back."

"I didn't find the snake vanilla, and now it's looking for a stone again." Jiang Qu just said a word.

Qian Ruyue heard it in her ears, but she felt that she meant to blame her. She angrily plucked the hairpin from her hair, and the pearl on the hairpin was twice as large as the missing stone. "I'll pay him more than enough for this."

Doctor Zhong was angered by Qian Ruyue's attitude, and told them so much, did he think he was beating around the corner. "Although the people in our village are poor, they still have backbone. Zhang Sheng is about to wake up, I guess I don't want to see you, let's go, don't appear in front of him, lest he go crazy again. He pointed to Qian Ruyue's hairpin and said, "Take this thing back too." ”

Sima Luming said sorry, the man was still asleep, this sentence was said on behalf of Qian Ruyue, and he wanted to ask Dr. Zhong to tell him on his behalf. Doctor Zhong snorted, and it can be regarded as a reasonable among these children.

The four of them walked out of Zhang Sheng's house, Gu Changsheng thought to himself, it was clear that the master said that it was a very simple errand to find snake herbs, but he just felt that this so-called simple errand was not simple at all.

Sima Luming said in a cold voice, "Ruyue, you go back first." ”

Qian Ruyue thought that Sima Luming was telling her to go back to the hospital first, and there were still a few steps to go, "Why don't you go together?" ”

"I'm asking you to go back to the Jade Void Sect first, and I'll bring the snake herbs back. If Master Shen Ling blames her, tell her that I asked you to go back. ”

Qian Ruyue asked puzzled, "Why!" ”

Sima Luming taught, "I don't want to pay attention to your temper along the way." The poison on my sister's body can't be delayed for a while, but you are here, and it will slow us down. ”

He said it frankly, too, he was so frank, looking cold, rational and not very emotional. It's just that the confession is a little hurtful.

Qian Ruyue's eyes were red, tears were rolling in her eyes, and she ran away crying.

Gu Changsheng showed a worried look, but Jiang Qu said calmly, "Have you forgotten to be in the Taixu Immortal Realm?" ”

Qian Ruyue came and went in this mode, feeling wronged, crying and making trouble, and after a while, he found that this crying and making trouble was useless, and Sima Luming didn't chase after him. She'll go back on her own.

She may be able to save face with everyone, so if she feels that her self-esteem is offended, she will fight back unreasonably. But Sima Luming is extremely cheeky, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is stalking, otherwise she has always been hot and cold over the years, and if she was someone else, she would have given up a long time ago, and she still calls her cousin affectionately now.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to leave Sima Luming's obedient Hui Yuxu send.

Jiang Qu said, "I will go back when the sun goes down at the latest." ”

Jiang Qu analyzed it like this, Gu Changsheng also felt that it was very much in line with Qian Ruyue's personality, so he thought that this was the case, at most, he was going around the village, and when she was not so depressed, she went back.

It's a pity that this time, they all guessed wrong.

Until the sun went down, Qian Ruyue didn't come back......

Dr. Zhong went to several families in the village to see a doctor, and when he came back, he shouted for Ju Xiang to eat. Although they didn't give Gu Changsheng a good face or a good tone, they began to drive people away without saying a word. I didn't think about abusing their children.

asked Ju Xiang to send a few more meals.

Ju Xiang brought fragrant rice to Gu Changsheng and them, counted the number of people, and found that there were fewer people. She decocted the medicine during the day, and she had to watch several stoves by herself, and she stared at it for a while, because she was afraid that the medicine would dry up. A pair of eyes were busy staring at the medicine jar, and when Gu Changsheng and them came back today, she didn't notice that the number of people who went out and came back was different. Ju Xiang didn't know Qian Ruyue's name, so she only asked, "Isn't there another girl?" ”

Jiang Qu originally thought that Qian Ruyue's burden was still in the hospital, no matter how this burden was in it, there were coils and clothes in it, no matter whether it was really angry or fake angry this time, this burden would always have to come back and get it. But the sky is getting darker and darker, and he is also surprised to see the person who is as rich as the moon. "She hasn't come back yet."

Ju Xiang's complexion changed, and she looked at the red sun sinking in the west outside the window, the gorgeous sunset reflected the sky like a red-hot iron, and she didn't put down the home-cooked side dishes in her hand, so she hurriedly went out of the room. Jiang Qu just felt inexplicable, and after a while, he heard the sound of Dr. Zhong's crutches hitting the ground.

As soon as Dr. Zhong entered the door, he asked, "What about another girl?" ”

Jiang Qu always felt that this money Ruyue couldn't give up Sima Luming, and he would not be willing to go back first. "I guess I'm going to go shopping for a while before I come back."

Doctor Zhong said, "Nonsense, it's going to be dark outside, go find someone back, hurry up!" The last sentence accentuated the tone, as if it were something that was at stake.

Sima Lu said, "My junior sister has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and if she encounters ordinary rats and dogs, she can also protect herself." ”

Doctor Zhong was so angry that he knocked on his crutches, did they think he was worried about this, worried that a girl's house would meet wicked people when she was wandering outside at night? If it's just the wicked, it's fine.

"Originally, I didn't want to tell you people from other villages, first, I thought that you wouldn't need to know if you stayed soon, and secondly, I was afraid that if I said something, I would cause something wrong. This village is full of monsters. ”

Gu Changsheng paused, "Monsters? ”

Dr. Zhong said, "The woman you saw in this hospital yesterday. None of them were originally the appearance of this old woman. And my daughter, who is only 18 years old, disappeared from her home one night half a year ago. At that time, I thought that she had been kidnapped by some bad person, and that she was going to report to the police. But she was found fainting under a mulberry tree in the village, and when she found it, she was like this. ”

At that time, he really couldn't believe his eyes, his daughter was only eighteen, young and beautiful, and she hadn't seen her for two days, and the passage of time would not make Shaohua age so fast that it was unreasonable. Later, the women of the village disappeared one by one, and after a few days, they were also found fainted in a corner of the village, and turned into a gray-haired old woman.

Rumors began to circulate in the village that there were demons at work, and every night they would come out to arrest people, and all of them were women.

There are also villagers who are bold and do not believe that this is done by monsters, who have hid behind the mulberry tree where their daughter was found for seven days and nights, and want to wait for the rabbit to catch the criminals who do not know what evil tricks they have used to harm people. As a result, no one was caught, but he was scared crazy.

Sima Luming originally felt that those women didn't look like they were infected, but more like what Fu Yan had described to him, who were sucked by monsters and became young and angry, and looked old and languishing. "Miss Juxiang can't remember anything?"

Juka shook her head.

Dr. Zhong said, "Not only her, but the other women who disappeared and were found back don't remember what happened." Every ten days in this village, a woman has an accident, and the old man is not only his appearance, but also his body is so weak that he looks like an old man who is about to die. I had no choice but to do my best to prescribe some medicine to see if I could make them live longer. ”

It's just that I've searched through the medical skills and tried all kinds of prescriptions, but it doesn't help. is like Zhang Sheng's mother, who drank the medicine he prescribed every day after the accident, but she still died.

Jiang Qu was clear, no wonder he said that how this place has changed so much in just a few years. "Since you think there's a monster at work, haven't you thought about inviting someone to get rid of the demon?"

Dr. Zhong replied, "Please, but almost all of them were scared away after two or three days." One of the Taoist priests still had a little conscience, seeing that the reward was made up by the villagers with great difficulty, and told the truth to everyone the night before he escaped, saying that this monster was too powerful, and he couldn't fight, but although he couldn't fight, there was a way to stop it, so that we used a lock coated with chicken blood every day after dark to lock the room where the women in the family lived, and the monster couldn't enter. ”

It is said in "Taiping Yulan" that when the Yellow Emperor was in power, he used the phoenix as a chicken. The rooster crows at sunrise to scare away demons. Even in some places, there is a custom, the first day of the new year is called the chicken day, and the painting paper with chickens should be pasted on the door during the New Year's Day, and the reed rope is hung on it, and the peach is inserted on its side, which is used to town house.

Jiang Qu said, "It's also true that chicken blood can drive away evil spirits, but it only treats the symptoms but not the root cause." In my opinion, the Taoist priest doesn't have much ability, otherwise he won't teach you this method, his so-called monster is too powerful, that is, relative to him. If you really encounter someone who is profound, I am afraid that chicken blood may not be able to stop it. ”

Doctor Zhong said, "Everyone was frightened by that monster, and it was already happy to learn that there was such a way to save their lives. ”

"Then I was really lucky last night, this house is unlocked, and there are two girls living in it." Jiang Qu glanced at Gu Changsheng, he had a good night's sleep last night, and he didn't notice any demonic energy at all.

"I'm not mad at you yet." Doctor Zhong glared and said, if he wasn't angered by Qian Ruyue, why would he think that they didn't know what to do, no matter whether they were alive or dead.

But thinking about it, he is such an old person, and it is a little naΓ―ve to worry about the little girl, and he is glad that nothing happened last night, otherwise he would also have a bad conscience. Doctor Zhong urged, "You also know the situation here now, while the sky is not completely dark, hurry up and find that girl to come back!" ”

Sima Luming said to Gu Changsheng, "Senior sister, let's stay here." ”

Jiang Qu also said, "Yes, Chu Ban also needs someone to take care of him." "If that monster really specializes in women, it is dangerous for Changsheng to go out and look for people everywhere. It's better to stay in the hospital, at least Chu Ban is watching.

Doctor Zhong said kindly, "This child is still sick, there is really something that can't be dealt with, let's rest at Ju Xiang's tonight." Saying that, he walked to the cabinet and took the lock, urging Ju Xiang to go back to the room, but Ju Xiang had not yet eaten, so Dr. Zhong asked her to bring the food back to the room and eat it again.

Jiang Qu said, "You don't want to go with us, do you?" ”

Doctor Zhong said, "Although the village is not big, after all, you are not familiar with it. I don't have a lot of legs and feet, but I don't have to be seen as a wreck. "If a family has a headache and brain fever, he also carries a medicine box to the clinic." You are looking for you, I will look for a few places where I found Juxiang and them before I went to the village. ”

Ju Xiang couldn't help but look worried, probably thinking of the people who were scared crazy that Dr. Zhong just said.

Gu Changsheng smiled stupidly and let Ju Xiang feel at ease, "It's okay." She didn't dare to guarantee anything else, but she believed that Sima Luming and Jiang Qu were there, and she wouldn't call Dr. Zhong to have an accident.
