Chapter 228: Eccentric Husband
Xiao Cheng danced the petals on her body, crossed her hands and lightly rested on her shoulders, a honey-colored holy aura emerged, and a white halo shone on the proprietress of the teahouse, and the healing magic was activated.
The haggard appearance of the withered proprietress seemed to have improved a lot due to magic, but her face was still extremely ugly.
Qiao Yang sighed lightly, it seems that this plague-like disease really cannot be easily cured, and it may be necessary to find the source of the problem.
However, he didn't have any research on virus monsters that could cause diseases, and he had never been in contact with them before, so he didn't know if it would be good this time.
The proprietress thanked her, raised her hand and pointed to a place in the distance, and said with a somewhat evasive expression: "I...... My husband is lying down in the teahouse to rest, you guys go, I'm a little afraid of him......"
Qiao Yang nodded, didn't force it, and walked into this teahouse that looked a little old with Lu Weiying.
The teahouse is divided into two floors, the first floor is used for business, and the second floor seems to be the couple's private residence, and the interior is very simple and evenly furnished, with only a small door at the back of the teahouse reception.
The two of them staggered over the scattered mahjong table, pushed the door in, and inside the door seemed to be a small lounge, which should be used for the owner to take a rest when he was tired.
At this moment, a man with a withered face, a bare head with a shriveled head, sunken eyes, and a shrunken nose, like a dried corpse, lay half-dead on the bed, groaning undetectably because of the pain of his body.
Seeing someone come in, a hint of surprise and wariness appeared on his sickly face, and his chapped lips opened slightly, as if he wanted to say something.
It's just that there is not a single tooth in his slightly open mouth, and his lips are sunken inward like an old man.
It's hard to believe that this is the appearance of a man in his thirties and forties who is in the prime of life.
It looks skinny, as if a gust of wind can blow it down.
On the bedside table next to it, there is a picture frame, which is a family portrait of a family of three.
An easy-going man with black-rimmed glasses, a glamorous woman with long hair, and a 7 or 8-year-old child.
The family smiled happily.
Qiao Yang used the illustrated book to check it at the first time, but what disappointed him was that the husband in front of him, who was called by the proprietress to behave strangely, did not have any text on the illustrated book.
In order to take care of the patient's emotions, Qiao Yang didn't wait for him to speak, and took the first step to explain: "Sir, don't worry, we are the demon tamers of Jincheng, and we came to Qingquan Town this time specifically to help you." ”
When the man lying on the bed heard this, his expression immediately became excited, and he struggled to sit up from the bed.
Lu Weiying hurriedly reassured: "You don't have to be excited, we probably all know about the matter, it's the whole street, many people are infected with diseases, right?"
The man was stunned for a moment, nodded dumbly, and then seemed to think of something again, his expression instantly became extremely hideous, his voice was hoarse and slow, and he said a little viciously.
"Yes...... Did the woman out there tell you?"
"Don't believe her! she's not human anymore, she's a monster!"
"She just wants to hurt me, she wants me to be like her!"
......
In the face of the man's hysteria, the two looked at each other, and after a few words of casual appeasement, they chose to quietly withdraw from the teahouse.
The proprietress waited outside the house, and immediately after seeing the two of them, she immediately stepped forward to inquire about her husband's situation, and it could be seen that she was still a little concerned about her husband.
"How's that...... My husband is he, can he still be saved?"
Qiao Yang calmly said that her husband is currently more emotional, but he has not noticed anything abnormal.
"He wasn't like this before, he was very gentle......"
The proprietress sat on the yellow bamboo stool, with little life on her body, and Qiao Yang took the opportunity to use the illustrated book to investigate, but still found nothing.
The empty data means that the Bestiary has not detected any unusual energy fluctuations that can be recognized.
"You should have a daughter, right?
"Lili was sent to the city to study, live in the school, and it is not yet time for the holidays. The proprietress said with a happy face.
Qiao Yang nodded and said that he understood, this is a very common situation, parents work hard all their lives, not just to let their children have a better growth environment.
Fortunately, she was sent to Jincheng, otherwise it would be a pity if a young girl in the flower season was also infected with such a strange disease.
"Don't worry, we'll take care of this. Nothing to find right now, but since the situation is at night, we'll come back later. ”
The proprietress still wants to say something to keep the two of them, after all, if she is alone, she will indeed be very insecure in the face of her eccentric husband.
Lu Weiying shirked and planned to explore the rest of the street.
The proprietress had no choice but to give up.
After staying away from the Four Seas Teahouse, the two looked at each other tacitly.
"Did you find anything?" Lu Weiying asked, holding his elbows.
Qiao Yang shook his head slightly, "I didn't find anything special, but as far as we know so far, we can still get some information." ”
Lu Weiying's eyes sank, and he said with interest: "What do you say?"
"I didn't pay attention to it before, but now, don't you feel that this street is a little dull?"
As soon as Qiao Yang asked, Lu Weiying immediately raised his head and looked around the surrounding environment, only to see that the windows of the entire old street of the Republic of China were gray and simple, and some of the windows still had traces of damage, and there were no more people on the street except for the two of them, as if the entire street had died.
Qiao Yang looked at Lu Weiying's expression, and said at the right time: "In combination with the changes in the teahouse couple, the disease should be very serious and very transmissible. ”
"And then you see that the scope of the outbreak of the disease is limited to this street, and the contagiousness of such a bad disease is only so small? That means that the ability of the source of the disease must be insufficient, and the level is not too high. ”
"Whatever the cause, we can at least be sure that the culprit for all of this can be dealt with within our means. ”
Lu Weiying nodded deeply, patted the arm of the chaotic general behind him, and said in a low voice: "I'm relieved if you say that, I was a little worried about whether we would also be infected." ”
"Since the level is not high, as long as we solve it in time, we should be fine. ”
Qiao Yang smiled, noncommittal, after all, it was in the face of a terrible disease, and the demon tamer was also a human being, and he would also have a fear mentality, which was normal.
"But I don't dare to pack a ticket, I really don't know much about viral monsters, and now it seems that it is still very hidden. ”
