Section 8: Unusual encounters

It was another morning, the sky was high and the clouds were scattered, and Shi Erniu, who had known him for a short time, came to the clinic to see a doctor. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

"I'm sorry to trouble you again." He smiled.

"It's your first time, isn't it? Sit. He sat down, and I asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

β€œ...... I have a headache. ”

"I remember that three days ago, Tan San invited you to get drunk, this is the sequelae." "Stretch out your right hand." I say.

"Hehe, you're really sharp-eyed." He laughed again.

I pressed the pulse of his right hand, and felt that his mouth was swollen and swollen, which was caused by the exchange of good and evil qi, "You have a cold in the Du Pulse, and the intersection of the Du Pulse and the Sun Bladder Meridian must be painful!" ”

"Interchange? Where is it? ”

"It's here." I pointed to the bun in the center of his head.

"Yes, yes, that's it, it really hurts!" He stroked his forehead.

"You are in strong health, you don't need to take medicine when you are sick, you can do acupuncture." I said again, "Tan San can drink better than you, I guess he can't slow down these days." ”

"I almost forgot if you didn't mention him, I haven't seen Tan San in the last three days." His eyes were melancholy.

"Looks like he's gone out of town." I say.

"No, his family said that he never came home, and it has little to do with whether he went to another country."

"Yesterday?" I asked.

"The day before yesterday."

"The day before yesterday, everyone drank at the Jinyuan Hotel." I muttered to myself.

"His family said that it was after he went out for a drink the day before yesterdayβ€”"

"No need to doubt!" Tian Fang carried the kettle, lifted the curtain, came from the back room to the front room, and interrupted Shi Erniu's words, "He wants to drive by himself, and he scolds me!" I got out of the car halfway in a fit of rage! ”

Shi Erniu looked at Tian Fang, who was angry, "He's so drunk that it's a problem to even walk, can he drive?" ”

"You question me? It's a fact! Tian Fang said loudly.

"But he never came home!"

"What do you have to do with me!"

"You sent him home, and you are responsible!" Shi Erniu pointed to Tian Fang.

"Humph! Am I responsible? He is dying****** does he have ......" Tian Fang suddenly covered his mouth, his face panicked.

"How do you know this if you're not a local, and who did you listen to?" Shi Erniu questioned her.

"You can't care!" Tian Fang refused to answer.

I think the same as Shi Erniu, no matter whether Tian Fang is right or wrong, she knows that Tan San forced ****** to death, which is indeed suspicious. What's more, I didn't mention it to her, and her landlord Ma Erfeng would never mention it. Because, Ma Erfeng is also one of the people who forced ****** to death!

She continued to be busy, and I did Shi Erniu's acupuncture. Separate acupuncture: Dumai Shenting acupoint, Fengfu acupoint; The sun bladder is accumulated through the bamboo acupoints; and less yang gallbladder through the wind pool acupoint. After that, I covered him with a quilt and lay down on the hospital bed to rest. When he woke up, I was standing next to his bed.

"How?" I asked.

β€œ...... It's a lot better, you're really in the world! He gave a thumbs up.

"I'm glad to be able to get patients out of their pain."

"You've got a lot of talent!" He praised me.

"Small hidden in the wild, hidden in the city, big hidden in the court, talented people are very low-key. On the contrary, it takes means, not talent, to climb to the pinnacle of power. ”

"Incisive!"

I sent Shi Erniu out of the clinic.

"Drink less alcohol these days to avoid a recurrence." I told him.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I forgot to say one thing. ”

"What's the matter?" I asked.

"Yuan Min asked me to ask you, when will the pill be ready?"

"......" I hesitated.

Two months ago, Tan San asked me to customize pills for Yuan Min, and I readily agreed. I understand that women are born to be good-looking, but I have always been prejudiced against Yuan Min, I think she is arrogant and snobbish, and it is rumored that she has an improper style before marriage, and has a love history with Lin Kaixuan, a well-known person in the town! Therefore, I don't want to send it to my door, and I forget it after a long time.

"The pills have already been prepared, you can send them for me." I say.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It didn't seem right, she said there was something else. ”

"Something else? What's up? ”

Shi Erniu shook his head, "I don't know." He also said, "She generally doesn't like to talk to others, it is probably a big deal!" ”

"Really?" I doubt it.

β€œ...... Maybe. He said.

"Go out and fall to your death!" I heard Tian Fang cursing loudly in the house.

"Don't mind, my apprentice is hard-mouthed and soft-hearted." I say.

He frowned, very helpless, "Alas! I'm convinced. ”

"Don't worry, I'll deliver the pills myself."

"Hmm."

I watched him leave, but my mind was full of suspicion of Yuan Min.

……

……

At noon, I went to Yuan Min's house, and the chores in the clinic were taken care of by Tian Fang. I got on that old bike and went down the wind. The brim on both sides of the dogskin hat on his head trembled with the bumpy road.

Near the center of the town, the concrete road was flat, and the pedestrians and drivers on the street looked at me with strange eyes, as if I was an authentic hillbilly in their eyes. Then there are the vendors who set up their stalls, they go their own way, and no one seems to be paying attention to the recent disappearances and deaths in the town.

Looking into the distance, a few dozen meters ahead is the Tan San Hotel. The sign is wide, with yellow letters on a red background that is eye-catching. I meant to go to her house, but I guessed she was in the hotel.

Locking the car, taking off my hat, I entered the hotel.

"Who are you looking for?" A waitress asked me.

I glanced around, full of people and chirping. "I'm looking for the proprietress of the house."

"Wait a minute, she's busy."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ All right. "I sat down at an empty table.

"Let him come!"

This voice is so familiar, I looked at the source of the sound and found that it was Yuan Min.

I was brought to her, plump, cross-headed, rounded, puffed, and scarlet-liked, standing half a head taller than the cashier in the bar.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Doctor Hou, there is a lot of negligence. "She's a lot more polite than before.

"The pills are here, a total of three hundred yuan." I put the pill box on the bar.

"You come with me."

I followed her and pushed the door open into a hut where it was so quiet that I could hear each other's heartbeats.

We sat down.

She suddenly lost control and cried, "He has been missing for three days, we have searched all the places, I heard Erniu say, it was your apprentice who sent him home, is there a problem here?" ”

I explained, "Tian Fang and Tan San don't have a deep hatred, and besides, she is not a local, so it is impossible to harm Tan San." Moreover, she said that Tan San insisted on driving by herself, and scolded her for being drunk and crazy! So she got off halfway. It is conceivable that Tan San may have run to a remote place and had a car accident. ”

"Impossible!" She was very excited, "Erniu said that he was already drunk that night, and it was a problem to walk, how to drive?" Your apprentice hurt him! She covered her mouth and wept.

"Anyway, you have to have proof, I understand you."

She wiped away her tears, stopped sobbing, and suddenly her eyes flashed, "Someone mailed a package, the address is here, but the signature is you!" ”

She pulled open the drawer and placed a package on the table.

"Where does the package originate?"

"Mudanjiang City!" She replied simply.

"I don't have any relatives out of town, so why isn't the parcel mailing address a clinic? Who will the mailer be? "I wondered.

"Is it - has something to do with him?" She said.

"Who is he?" I asked.

"My Tan San!"

"You're saying this package is related to Tan San's disappearance?"

"Hmm!" She nodded.

I stared at the package.

"Knock knock!" There was a knock on the door.

"Enter!" Yuan Min said.

The door was pushed open, and a little girl wearing a snow-white cotton hat entered. She has small eyes, a small nose, a cherry mouth, and a blue face full of pimples.

"Xiaoxue, is there something wrong?" Yuan Min asked the little girl.

The little girl didn't speak, but she gestured, and I finally understood that she was mute!

"So that's the case, you want to ask for leave to accompany your mother to see a doctor?" Yuan Min understands mute language.

The mute nodded.

"Go ahead." Yuan Min said.

The mute smiled.

"Whose child is she?" I asked Yuan Min.

"......******."

"****** daughter!" I was shocked and pondered, "I think at the beginning, ****** borrowed Tan San's usury to do business, and I lost everything!" As a result, the arrears are rolled over and cannot be repaid. There were many people who came to the door to force debts, and in the end, as long as everyone did not want interest, he still could not repay, and finally he committed suicide by drinking medicine. After that, the account fell on the shoulders of his family, but no one went to collect the debt frequently. Of course, this is just a rumor, I don't know ******, and I don't know that he has a mute daughter. ”

The little girl turned to leave, and I called out to her, "Wait, I can heal your mother." ”

She turned to look at me, just blinking.

"Xiaoxue, he is Dr. Hou's superb medical skills, he can't be wrong!" Yuan Min praised me.

The mute nodded and gestured to me.

"What did she say?" I asked Yuan Min.

"She said that your surname is Hou, your name is Hou Ting, and you are the owner of Hou's Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic in Xinzhan Village! She believes in you! ”

I thought, "I haven't met her, how does she know me?" Then, I looked up at Xiaoxue and saw her smiling at me.

……

……

I drove Xiaoxue out of the hotel, my bicycle crushing the snow, and she showed me the way. Turning left along the concrete road is downhill, the dirt road bumps and the path gets narrower and narrower, and after a while, she pats me on the shoulder, and I understand the place.

She pushed open the courtyard door, and I helped the cart into the courtyard. Looking around, the courtyard is full of snowdrifts. Following the sweeping path, I followed her to the adobe house. The room is cold, and the plastic-sheeted window has a big hole to "whir" to breathe!

When I entered one of the rooms, I turned my head and found a woman sitting in the southeast corner of the kang, looking at me with a quilt, her hair disheveled, and her face sallow.

"Who is she?" The woman's kiss is fierce.

After Xiaoxue gestured, the woman said, "You are Dr. Hou, I don't have any money, you can go!" ”

I'm embarrassed"...... I don't want money, it's free. ”

She coughed twice, her eyes widened, and the whites of her eyes were bloodshot, "They are the ones who caused my family to be ruined, and my illness is caused by them, I want to kill them all!" ”

I found a kitchen knife peeking out of the corner of her quilt.

Xiaoxue gestured to comfort her mother, but her mother was ruthless, "Get out!" What can you do as a dumb person? If you have the ability, you kill them for me, you speak! ”

Xiaoxue bowed her head and was silent.

I carefully sat down on the edge of the kang...... Anyway, cure the disease first, you see? ”

"Hmm." The woman had no expression, just nodded.
