The weather in autumn is changeable, and the cool breeze is blowing, but it can't resist the heat brought by the prosperity of Luancheng, and the streets are full of traffic and people. In the evening, the inky night quietly descends in advance, the city lights are still lit up, and the noise in the center of the city does not decrease but increases. The drizzle had just left, and the rain-washed roads on the streets were exceptionally clean, and even if you took a deep breath, you could feel the smell of the dirt under the trees on both sides of the street.

Last time, Wu Gang left with his subordinates after solving the problem of the aftermath, but Liu Qing took this opportunity to consult a lot of historical materials about the counties around Luancheng, and never found an allusion to the treatment of snake venom, even if he found a folklore, he could have some clues, but it was like God was against him, and any clues were nowhere to be found.

Liu Qing had been in Luancheng for three whole days, and he also went to some places around Luancheng, visiting the old people in the village door to door, hoping to find some clues from the old man's mouth, but in the end he was defeated by those old people.

"Grandpa, let me ask you a question." With a kind smile on his face, Liu Qing sat next to an old man in his eighties, wearing a plain blue coat, two patches on a pair of white pants, and holding a cigarette gun in his hand but never taking a puff.

"Ahh The old man nodded and smiled at Liu Qing, the wrinkles on his forehead were like dirt carved by a knife, and when he laughed, he folded into Sichuan characters.

"Do you know what to treat someone who is bitten by a poisonous snake? Is there any dirt method. Liu Qing saw that the old man was a little deaf, so he had to lean forward slightly, and almost the whole person was attached to the old man's ear, shouting loudly.

"Ah, it's just south, turn left and you'll be there." The old man stared at Liu Qing for a long time, as if he was recalling the shape of Liu Qing's mouth just now, and finally nodded after a long time, and said with a smile at Liu Qing.

"......" Liu Qing's face was a little stiff with a smile, he didn't expect the old man opposite to have his ears back to such a point, so he had to raise his voice again and asked. Grandpa, I'm not asking you for directions, I'm trying to ask you, if someone in the village is bitten by a poisonous snake, is there any local treatment, not to send it to the hospital, but the method you used in those days. ”

Liu Qing pulled his throat, almost shouting out his throat, for fear that the old man would give him a devastating answer in the end, obviously, the old man did not disappoint Liu Qing in the end.

The smile on the old man's face became more and more amiable, he shook the cigarette gun in his hand, pointed to the southeast direction of the house, as if he was afraid that Liu Qing would not hear his words, and said: "Yes, it is the south, isn't it the second baby's house, turn left, it is the direction of my hand." ”

"Grandpa, I'm not asking you for directions." Liu Qing said helplessly.

"No thanks." The old man waved his hand and smiled at Liu Qing.

“……”

In short, Liu Qing has spent the past three days in a speechless environment, because of the age, the target group he targeted is the old man in his seventies, if he asks the young people in the village, it is estimated that they don't know anything.

Liu Qing walked while thinking about which county town he should go to tomorrow, there were several towns under the county seat, and he had to run one by one. At this moment, Liu Qing has left the city center, and at this moment he has come to the door of a university, and the fifty-meter aisle in front of the school gate is full of small stalls, and some women in their thirties and forties are sitting on the side with small stools, and from time to time they stand up to introduce things to the students.

But at this moment, there was a commotion in front of him, and many students left the stalls and ran forward, and Liu Qing also rushed up with a look. In the foreground, a woman in her forties dressed in a cheap dress was sitting on the ground, the wooden board on which the fruit was placed at the fruit stand behind her was overturned, the woman's sideburns were white, her right arm was burned by a cigarette with a black-red scar, and her eyes were filled with tears.

In front of them stood a young man and woman, both dressed very fashionably, the man's hair was sprayed with an unknown amount of gel water, and the reflected light could be seen even in the dim light. The woman next to her was wearing a beige trench coat and a thick layer of makeup on her face, standing proudly to the side. Seeing more and more onlookers, the woman seemed to be a little unable to stay, and felt a little embarrassed, so she pulled the man next to her and whispered a few words in her ear.

The man nodded, glanced at the woman sitting on the ground behind him, snorted coldly, and said in a deep voice: "For the sake of my girlfriend's face, I think if you make compensation, you can't afford to accompany me, so let's give me two hundred yuan as compensation." ”

"I can't make that much money in a day in a business like mine, let alone you burned my arm with a cigarette butt, otherwise how could it burn your clothes. Please spare me. The woman's voice was a little choked, her hair was a little messy, and there was a hint of begging in her eyes when she looked at the woman, and she also knew that the person in charge should be this fashionably dressed girl.

"That's it, forget it." Some students with a sense of justice came forward and persuaded them.

"What are you,!" The man's eyes widened and he scolded.

"I just want to persuade you, why are you scolding me." A boy retorted with anger in his heart.

"What? You still want to move me? The man glared at the boy and looked at each other unruly. I can tell you, my uncle-in-law is the party secretary of the university, you should be honest with me, don't meddle with me. ”

"You." The man glanced at the woman who was sitting on the ground and sneered: "You have two choices, one is to compensate me two hundred yuan, and the other is to let me slap me twice, and let's forget about this matter." ”

"A slap and an apology to us!" The woman next to her chimed in.

The surrounding students looked at the two unconscionable men and women, their eyes revealing a look of hatred, but the other party's uncle-in-law was the secretary of the school's party committee, and with this relationship, some people who wanted to be righteous and brave were blocked, after all, there are not many people who are willing to help others enthusiastically.

"I ......" The woman bit her lip, her face turned white, tears kept rolling in her eyes, and her skin exposed to the sun looked even drier, lining the woman's simple dress, which made some people around her who wanted to lend a hand to help her sigh helplessly, but there was a nameless sadness in their hearts.

"Hurry up!" The woman seemed determined not to let go of the woman selling fruit on the ground, and urged impatiently.

"I ......" The woman looked around, the expectation in her eyes gradually turned into sadness, a crystal teardrop slipped down her cheeks quietly, and many girls left quietly, they really didn't want to see such a scene.

"I'm willing to slap you twice." The woman slowly stood up and lowered her head in humiliation, her tone a little weak. "At the same time, I apologize to you."

The last of his heart was ruthlessly broken by the two men and women standing condescendingly in front of him, like a dam bursting its embankment, and the water rushed down uncontrollably, impacting the broken stone pile. The woman's tears finally flowed uncontrollably, and she cried and did not dare to make a sound.

"I'll come." The girl standing next to the man had some excitement in her eyes, and she was eager to try, pulled the man behind her, and rubbed her right hand in the air.

The woman closed her eyes resignedly, and the two tear stains were clearly visible, and the tears were still flowing, not only wetting the woman's clothes, but also shattering the woman's dignity, like glass falling from the sky to the ground.

But after a minute, she didn't feel the pain of her palm hitting her face, and according to her thoughts, the girl opposite might have left a red handprint on her side, but fortunately her daughter was not there, otherwise what would her daughter think of the greatest mother in her heart.

"What do you want to do!" The girl scolded.

"You...... Yes. The man next to him also scolded angrily, but after only one word, the woman heard the screams of the boy opposite.

The woman slowly opened her eyes, and the man in a black coat appeared in front of her, whose shoulders were not broad, but it gave people a sense of security. From the back, it can be seen that the person who rescued her was only a young man in his twenties, probably a student at this university. She also heard the boy's words, and couldn't help but be a little timid, afraid that she would drag down the young man in front of her.

"Little brother, forget it. Your future matters, it doesn't matter if I get slapped twice. The woman said something that made Liu Qing sad.

"It's fine." Liu Qing glanced back at the woman and said with a smile.

"Brute!" Liu Qing looked at the girl in front of him with a cold face. "You don't learn well at a young age!"

"What are you pretending to be, making you look like my dad!" The girl said disdainfully. "Let go, you're hurting me!"

The girl kept struggling, unable to break free of Liu Qing's right hand no matter what, and the boy behind her stood up holding his stomach and looked at Liu Qing with a sinister face. "Which class are you, you ......"

Before he could say anything, the boy saw Liu Qing grab the girl's collar and throw the girl towards him. But where is Liu Qing's strength that these ordinary students can catch, the girl fell to the ground with the boy, and the boy in pain bared his teeth and screamed.

Liu Qing walked towards the two of them step by step like a killing god, he slowly stopped, took out two hundred yuan from his pocket, and looked at the two with a smile. "One person slapped himself and apologized to the aunt at the same time, otherwise it would be ......"

Speaking of this, Liu Qing's face became even more gloomy, and a demonic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Otherwise, I will let the two of you go to the hospital to be the mandarin ducks in distress for a year."

"Mom!" At this moment, a woman's voice sounded behind the crowd, Liu Qing felt that the voice was particularly familiar, and when he turned around, he was also stunned, he didn't expect that the woman selling fruit was her mother.
