Chapter Forty-Three: Mutated Bluegrass
Jin Cheng asked the driver when he took the bus to the county seat, and the last bus back to Xinqiao was five o'clock in the afternoon, so he had to hurry up and rush back in the evening.
When the waiter Xiaomei brought the dishes, Jin Cheng began to gobble up, sweeping away the dishes on the table like a whirlwind, and it only took ten minutes before and after, during which she also ate three bowls of rice, and the waiter Xiaomei looked at the gluttonous man released from the hunger prison in a daze, with a trace of disdain in her eyes.
"Sister, uh...... Checkout. Jin Cheng came to the bar and said to the waiter with a full hiccup.
"185 yuan, count you 180." The waiter said with a smile.
"Where's your boss?" Jin Cheng took out two hundred-yuan bills and put them on the bar.
"I'll call now, you wait." The waiter Xiaomei found Jin Cheng for twenty yuan and trotted to the kitchen.
Two minutes later, a chubby middle-aged man in his thirties came out of the kitchen, followed by the waiter Xiaomei.
"Listen to Xiaomei, do you want to inquire about the original boss, the third brother?" The middle-aged man asked with a smile.
"Yes, let me make it clear, the original boss's surname is Jin, is my cousin, I was in high school here four years ago, and I often came here, and I haven't been in touch since I was in college, so I'm looking for you to inquire." Jin told the truth, so as not to cause misunderstanding among others.
"Oh, so that's the case, Boss Jin transferred the store to me, and he co-opened a big hotel, five hundred meters east from here, the name of the store is Minghui Hotel."
The third brother's name is Jin Hui, he likes to fight and brawl when he is young, he is very righteous, and he is also well-known in the road.
Because both husband and wife can bear hardships and stand hard work, the business is running well, and they bought a house in the county seat in a few years, and transferred the store to the current boss a year ago to seek greater development by themselves.
Jin Cheng said goodbye to the shopkeeper, he didn't go to his cousin Jin Hui, he came to the county seat today to have other important matters, and his cousin's matter was just asked by the way, and he would go to see him again when he had time in the future.
Room 302, Unit 1, Building 16, Meilin New Village, Wenfei Road, this is the address Jin Cheng is looking for, he called a taxi, and the taxi driver sent him to Xincheng District, where he stopped at the gate of a residential area.
Jin Cheng walked into the community, and under the scanning of his divine sense, he quickly determined the direction.
Ten days ago, Jin Cheng saw a post asking for help on the forum, and according to the address provided by the landlord, Jin Cheng came over and wanted to verify in person whether it was as he thought.
Since April last year, this family of five has successively developed neurasthenic symptoms, insomnia, lack of concentration, trance, and even occasional hallucinations, and the situation is getting worse and worse.
Jin Cheng stood downstairs and used his divine sense to probe the situation in this family's house, and found that the five members of this family were all at home, and everyone was full of gloom and malaise, either sighing or having empty eyes.
"Sure enough." Jin Cheng said to himself. He took out his mobile phone and dialed the phone number left by the owner.
"Hey, may I ask if you are Mi Jianhua?"
"yes, may I ask who you are?"
"I'm Jin Cheng, I saw your post asking for help on the Internet, I think I can help you." Jin Cheng said.
"Oh, where are you?" Mi Jianhua was like a person who was about to drown, grabbed a life-saving straw, and immediately came to his senses.
"I'm downstairs at your house, you open the door, and I'll be there shortly." Jin Cheng said.
"Okay." Mi Jianhua hung up the phone, hurriedly opened the security door in a few steps, and stood at the door and looked at the staircase.
After a while, there were footsteps downstairs, and an ordinary-looking young man walked out of the staircase and came to Mi Jianhua with a smile.
"You are Jin Cheng?" Mi Jianhua asked suspiciously, this young man is too young!
"Yes, won't you let me in?" Jin Cheng said with a smile.
"Okay, please come in, sit casually, I'll pour you a glass of water." Mi Jianhua was also disappointed when he saw Jin Cheng so young, and invited him into the house out of politeness.
"No need, I'm in a hurry, take a look and leave." After Jin Cheng finished speaking, he went straight to the living room, squatted down in front of a pot of bluegrass under the wall-mounted TV, he stared at the bluegrass for a while, and suddenly asked, "Did you bring this pot of bluegrass from the old house?" ”
"yes, is there a problem? Isn't this Mo Lan? Mi Jianhua came to Jin Cheng's side and looked at this pot of bluegrass and asked in surprise. His wife was originally leaning on the sofa, listless, but her eyes were brightened by Jin Cheng's question, and she hurriedly came to Jin Cheng's side and looked at Jin Cheng expectantly. The family had been tormented by this inexplicable situation for several months, and they were about to collapse, and at this time, they seemed to see hope in Jin Cheng.
"Where did this bluegrass come from? When did it come into your house? Jin Cheng stood up and asked Mi Jianhua.
"This ...... Dad, you brought the bluegrass back! Mi Jianhua racked his brains for a long time, and finally remembered, he came to the bedroom door and asked his father.
Mi Jianhua's parents were in a daze in the bedroom, and when they heard their son's question, it took a long time to react, "Yes, what's wrong?" ”
"When did you bring it back?" Mi Jianhua asked anxiously, he vaguely felt that he had caught a clue.
"It seems like March." The old man struggled to recall, and said uncertainly.
"It's the end of March, I remember, Dad, where did this bluegrass come from?" Mi Jianhua's wife slapped her thigh, as if she suddenly realized, and asked eagerly. The family started the disease in April, and the timing was right.
The old man looked a little dazed, stood up and walked to the door of the room, and said to Mi Jianhua: "I dug it from the mountain, is it ......?"
After listening to the old man's words, Mi Jianhua and his wife turned their eyes to Jin Cheng together, hoping to get an answer from his mouth.
"Yes." Jin Cheng said affirmatively, "Look at this orchid grass, the leaves are obviously wider and thicker than ordinary Mo Lan, this is a mutated Mo Lan, old man, do you remember where you dug it from?" ”
"Remember, it's on Wuyun Peak in the south of the city." The old man thought for a moment and said.
"Old man, take me to the place where you dug the bluegrass and find the place, I have a way to solve this situation in your family." Jin Cheng didn't tell the truth, he was eager to know where the bluegrass was found, so he had to fool this family, but the method he said was actually very simple, and it was also what he was doing, I saw that he took out a large convenience bag that had been prepared, packed this pot of bluegrass, and then tied the bag tightly, as long as the culprit was taken away, the Mi family's condition would slowly heal itself.
"Okay, I'll take you." The old man simply agreed, so Jin Cheng and Mi Jianhua and his son took a taxi to the south of the city.
Wuyun Peak is a mountain about two hundred meters high, there is not much vegetation on the mountain, the slope is not large, in Jin Cheng's eyes, it is a small dirt bag, and it cannot be compared with the mountain peak behind Gangtou Village.
There was a winding path leading to the top of the mountain, and Jin Cheng and Mi Jianhua helped the old man climb up.
The old man's body was quite healthy, but he was exhausted by this nervous breakdown, which also led the three of them to climb the mountain very slowly, and they had to rest for a while after walking for a while.
"What are you doing, young man?" The old man sat on the ground and gasped.
"I'm a doctor, and I'm a Chinese medicine practitioner, and I have research on herbal medicine, so I just heard that Master had told me about the mutant Mo Lan in advance, and I saw the situation of your family on the Internet, and I roughly guessed it."
"Doctor Jin, you don't need to be modest, I have seen a lot of Chinese medicine experts, but they are all in vain, and I can't even find the cause, how can I treat them? It's not that it's not at all effective. Speaking of the experience of seeking medical treatment, Mi Jianhua is angry.
Jin Chengxin said: You really can't blame the doctor, this kind of dragon beard grass mutation is quite special, if you guess correctly, there may be something very special in the underground where the dragon beard grass grows.
When the old man had rested enough, the three of them continued to move forward, and finally came to the halfway up the mountain, the old man pointed to the side of the road and said that he had dug up Molan in this nearby area, but he didn't remember the specific location.
Hearing the old man say this, Mi Jianhua was anxious, "Dad, think about it again, our family is counting on you!" ”
