Chapter 7: Reincarnation (1)
Shen Pang really couldn't say anything about the experience of seven days passing in an instant, he had been practicing the Dongtian Qi Cultivation Mantra on the mountain, as far as his personal feeling was concerned, it seemed that it was only a few hours, but in fact, it was seven days!
At this time, a strange thought suddenly popped out of Shen Pang's mind: In myths and legends, those masters who cultivated immortals and practiced the Tao in the deep mountains practiced the legend that there were days on the mountain for months or even years.
It's just nonsense, Shen Pang smiled self-deprecatingly, the old man is indeed quite mysterious, but to talk about the level of gods, ghosts, immortals and Buddhas, it is still too mysterious, myths are myths, legends are legends, this is a real world.
But now that he has mastered the Dongtian formula, then he can go to Wuyan Town to do the task that the old man told him, in order to survive, he will also use his dead horse as a live horse doctor, anyway, it can't be worse than before, right?
I checked out, and then went to the station to take the bus to Wuyan Town, Qingcheng Mountain is only a few dozen kilometers away from Wuyan Town, not far away.
There are only half of the passengers in the minibus, and half of the seats are empty, and the flood of private cars and the popularity of high-speed rail have made the old means of transportation go to the cold winter.
Shen Pang sat by the window, looking at the vehicles and pedestrians on the road outside, he felt very unreal, as if he was reincarnated, and it seemed that he was out of step with this world, he was clearly a person in another world, and he seemed to be a cold-eyed passerby.
It took an hour to get to Wuyan Town, and after arriving, Shen Pang got out of the middle bus and looked at the surrounding situation a little stunned, the old man didn't tell him the detailed address, Wuyan Town is not small, is the girl named "Yang Ke" from the street of Wuyan Town or from the countryside of Wuyan Town?
After a little hesitation, Shen Pang decided to eat something in the restaurant next to him, the signature craft of the store is "hot and sour noodles", he really wanted to eat, watching other diners feast on their mouths and drooling was about to flow out, but the doctor told him not to eat spicy, he could only drink porridge and eat rice, and he could only eat some green leafy vegetables.
"I want a bowl of hot and sour noodles!" In the midst of the deep groaning, Shen Pang waved his hand and ordered, it is a good thing that the old man's method can save him, if he can't save him, he will die anyway, why not let himself live this last time happily?
This hot and sour noodles are really delicious, a bowl of belly, Shen Pang is still unsatisfied, and he wants to call another bowl.
The hot and sour noodle shop is very small, the owner and the waiter chef are all middle-aged women, so they are very busy, when Shen Pang hesitated to order another bowl of hot and sour noodles to eat, two more grandmothers in their fifties came to the store, chattering, and the proprietress hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.
Shen Pang simply got up to pay and was about to leave, and when the proprietress was looking for change, he heard the two grandmothers who had just entered the store say something "living Bodhisattva", "divine water" or something, and immediately paid attention.
"Hurry up and eat and go to the queue, strive to grab a number, if you can't grab the number, you can grab the qualification of Shenshui......"
"Yes, grabbing is money, and the living Bodhisattva is the most money-conscious, but the living Bodhisattva only meets three people every day, and the one with the highest price gets it, and we can't get it, and it's lucky to grab a bottle of divine water......
The proprietress found change and handed it to Shen Pang, but her eyes looked at the two grandmothers and said, "Sister Wu, do you say that the divine water is really that spiritual?" I have rheumatoid arthritis, it hurts when it rains, and I can't be cured by taking medicine and injections. ”
"I can't do it!" One of the grandmothers immediately answered, "Wang Laoqing's grandson on the street ate a fish stuck in his throat, and he went to the hospital for a day of treatment and didn't get it well, the doctor of the town health center urged him to hurry up and send him to the big hospital in the city for surgery, Wang Laoqing went to Yang's house and begged for a bottle of divine water and gave his grandson a sip, you know, just drank a sip of water, the fish bones in the throat of the card disappeared, and the grandson was fine, this is yesterday's thing, who in the town doesn't know!" ”
When Shen Pang heard the "Yang family", his heart moved, it is estimated that there are many people surnamed Yang in this town, so it is better to inquire with them.
"I'm sorry, do you know a girl named 'Yang Ke' in this town?"
The grandmother who had just spoken glanced at Shen Pang, frowned, and said, "Don't call the name of the Living Bodhisattva like that!" ”
Shen Pang was stunned, and his heart was happy again, it seems that the name of the person they said is also "Yang Ke", but I don't know if it's the same person.
Seeing that Shen Pang didn't say anything more, the two grandmothers stopped talking about him and buried their heads in eating the noodles brought by the proprietress.
Shen Pang waited for them to leave the store after eating before inadvertently following behind at a distance, and the two grandmothers didn't notice that they were being followed at all, chatting and walking, and unconsciously brought Shen Pang to their destination.
It was a two-story bungalow on the south side of the town, with a large concrete dam in front of it, and the dam and the open space in front of the neighboring house were full of cars and motorcycles, and the dam was crowded with people.
As soon as the two grandmothers arrived, they squeezed into the crowd, and Shen Pang's goal had been achieved, so he didn't go with them anymore, and squeezed into the crowd by himself.
But there were too many people, and Shen Pang couldn't squeeze in even if he was sweating.
When he was squeezing, someone knocked on his shoulder, and when Shen Pang looked back, he saw that it was a thin man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, his eyes were dripping, and he looked like a treacherous and slippery person.
"What for?"
The thin man glanced at Shen Pang, then lowered his voice and said, "Are you here to see a doctor?" If it's to see a doctor, don't squeeze it, it's useless to squeeze, ten bottles of holy water and three places for medical treatment have been snatched up......"
Shen Pang said lightly: "Since it's over, what does it matter to you whether I squeeze it or not?" ”
The thin man grinned, took a note out of his pocket and raised it, and said proudly: "I grabbed one of the two places for medical treatment, do you want it?" I'm going to transfer it to you for 2,000 dollars! ”
Isn't this just the same "registered peddler" in a hospital?
Shen Pang pondered for a moment and then asked him, "This is too crowded, if I buy your number, can you take me in?" ”
"Of course!" The thin man replied without hesitation, "This master is my uncle and brother, as long as you buy my number, I will take you upstairs through the back door." ”
"Deal." Shen Pang did not hesitate, there were more than 3,000 cash in his trouser pocket, took out and counted twenty hundred-yuan bills and handed them to the thin man.
The thin man took the money and counted it quickly, put it in his pocket after counting, glanced at Shen Pang, and hooked his hand: "Follow me." ”
There was a back door at the back of the house, and the thin man knocked on the door, and after a while a man came and opened the door, and he knew the thin man very well, and seemed to know his intentions, so he whispered without even asking: "Come in!" ”
After entering the door, the man closed the back door tightly and locked it, and then took the thin man and Shen Pang up the stairs from the side room, and the chaotic words of the crowd in the living room outside could be heard clearly.
When I went upstairs and entered a room, there was already a person sitting on the sofa in the room, a middle-aged man in his forties, his face was a little pale.
"You sit and wait a while." The one who brought the people up said a word, and called the thin man out, and only Shen Pang and the pale middle-aged man were left in the room.
It was noisy outside and quiet in the room.
The middle-aged man glanced at Shen Pang, Shen Pang was still silent, and the middle-aged man couldn't help but ask him quietly, "Are you...... Also to see a doctor? ”
Shen Pang nodded, it is okay to say that he came to see a doctor, he was already terminally ill, if there was really someone who could cure the disease, of course he would be willing to treat it, but in fact, his purpose should be the opposite, he came to "cure".
This middle-aged man was sick, his face was pale, and his eyes were sick, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was sick.
"What's wrong with you?" The middle-aged man asked again, paused and introduced himself: "I am...... I have a strange disease, and I have to gnaw a brick every day......"
When he said this, the middle-aged man was somewhat uncomfortable.
Shen Pang also felt strange, he had heard of any disease, but he really hadn't heard of this strange disease of gnawing bricks!
"I have been suffering from this strange disease for a year and a half, and I am restless every day without gnawing bricks, and I have been steadfast after gnawing bricks, and I have been treated in a famous hospital in the country, but the cause has not been given, and the treatment is not good!"
The middle-aged man said with a sad face, then glanced left and right, and quietly asked Shen Pang: "It is said that this spirit is very good, it is a living Bodhisattva, is it true?" ”
Shen Pang spread his hands and replied: "I don't know, I'm here later than you!" ”
After pondering for a while, Shen Pang pointed to his head and added: "I have a malignant tumor here, which is already at an advanced stage." ”
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, licked his lips, and wanted to comfort Shen Pang but couldn't find anything to say.
Although the strange disease he got was weird, it was always not fatal and he was still alive, while Shen Pang's disease was incurable, and the difference was huge.
The middle-aged man saw that Shen Pang looked very young, and the childishness on his face had not disappeared, he was obviously a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, but he was far calmer and quieter than himself, but he was in the advanced stage of brain cancer!
After waiting for a while, the living bodhisattva still didn't come out, and the middle-aged man couldn't sit still looking left and right, and wanted to ask Shen Pang, but Shen Pang was still sitting quietly, and he just couldn't bear to say it.
I had to wait patiently, but it didn't take long for the sound of a police car to suddenly sound outside, from far and near.
The middle-aged man was stunned, then stood up with a swipe and said with a panicked expression: "It's not good, there are police ......"
Shen Pang said lightly: "You broke the law?" ”
"Nope." The middle-aged man shook his head.
"Is it illegal to see a doctor?"
"No Illegal ......"
"Then what are you panicking about?" Shen Pang smiled and said, "We didn't break the law, and we didn't deceive people about anything, we just urgently sought medical treatment, even if we met a liar, it wasn't our problem, what are you afraid of!" ”
"Oh, that's right." The middle-aged man thought about it, and sat down again to continue waiting with Shen Pang.
There was a commotion outside the house downstairs, and most of the people scattered as birds and beasts, just like the police arresting gambles, like chickens and dogs jumping for a while.
After a while, a few uniformed policemen came upstairs, three men and one woman, three men went to search several other rooms, the woman stared at the middle-aged man and Shen Pang and asked, "You two, what are you doing?" ”
The middle-aged man was still so nervous that he couldn't even speak.
Shen Pang replied slowly: "Come to see the doctor!" ”
