Chapter 4 Porridge for the Human Brain

[The book continues from the above, the last book said that by the Bada River, Zhao Liang heard that Mu Qingming said that the human brain can cure madness in the rivers and lakes, so he decided to believe it or not, and ordered his subordinates to thoroughly investigate the madmen in the city. And Mu Qing, who returned home, thought that there were many fish and dragons in the ghost market, and there might be clues, so he took Mo Han to Happy Horse Mountain again and met the blind woman. Led out the old Li Shi ordered the mouth of the nine fingers, never thought that Mu Qingming on the horse mountain was one step ahead, asked for the clues of the nine-fingered trick doctor, went to the trick doctor's booth to ask how to treat madness, and the nine-fingered trick doctor Dao Ming cured the weird home remedies for madness. 】

At night, everything on the Yuantong Mountain, which is long from east to west and narrow from north to south, is blurred in the shape of a willow leaf. The mountains and rocks, as well as the trees and grasses on the walls, can only be seen vaguely.

In the provincial police department in the courtyard of Yuantong Temple, only a few houses and duty rooms are still lit today. Most of the policemen were sent by Zhao Liang to inquire about the various madmen in the city.

The icy night wind whistled around the courtyard; The night was getting darker and darker, and the entrance to the side courtyard was dark. The two cherry blossom trees on the left and right outside the door cast a large shadow in front of the doorway.

The guard who was supposed to stay at the door didn't know where he had gone at this time, only the policeman Lao Li Shi stood under the cherry blossom tree on the left side of the gate, and after seeing that there was no one around, he stared at the darkness under the cherry tree opposite with his eyes, and whispered softly: "What must we meet now?" Still here? ”。

There was also a slight vigilance in his tone, and he couldn't help but look left and right as he spoke.

"Mu Qingming took Mo Han to Happy Horse Mountain." In the darkness opposite Old Master Li, a soft male voice came; Gentle and calming.

"The eldest sister said that you are solely responsible for this plan, so you must be notified of this matter." After a pause, the man opposite Lao Li Shi was in the darkness and couldn't see his face clearly, and asked in a low voice, "It's the Nine Fingers that you guided that person to find." Now that Nine Fingers is on Happy Horse Mountain, do you want me to send someone to kill Nine Fingers? ”。

Hearing this, Old Master Li, who groaned, thought for a while, took out a paper cigarette roll and put it in his mouth, and said softly: "Go ahead, nine fingers will die for the sake of insurance." ”。

As soon as the words landed, a soft beam of light shone from the downstairs of the provincial hall not far away, followed by steady footsteps.

When everything was silent, the sound of footsteps was particularly piercing.

"What are you doing here?" The beams were getting closer, and so were the footsteps. finally stopped in front of Lao Li Shi, and after Lao Li Shi finally saw clearly the flashlight that emitted the beam, it was his boss Inspector Zhao who was standing.

"Smoke a cigarette." Old Master Li, who frowned and quickly unfolded, calmly took out another cigarette roll from his pocket, as well as a box of foreign fire.

"How's the crazy guys going?" Zhao Liang took the cigarette roll handed by Lao Li Shi, and subconsciously turned the flashlight to the cherry blossom tree opposite Lao Li Shi.

The flashlight swept by, and Zhao Liang's eyes also moved with the beam, and finally landed where the beam reached. But there is nothing but cherry blossom trees that wither and have few leaves in the winter wind, and cherry blossom leaves that are lazy on the ground.

The person who had spoken to Lao Li Shi before seemed to have never appeared.

But before that, Zhao Liang was sure that he vaguely heard that Old Master Li seemed to be talking to someone, although he didn't hear what he was saying, he was sure that he did hear a slight voice coming from the door, and it was two.

"Alas, the scope of this investigation is too large." Old Master Li sighed lightly, lit the match in his hand and handed it to Zhao Liang first, lit the cigarette in his mouth before lighting his own, and then shook the matchstick in his hand that was about to burn out a few times to extinguish the flames.

After taking a puff of cigarette, Zhao Liang turned the flashlight and shone it forward, but there was nothing except the courtyard wall of the temple and a few small shrubs planted under the wall.

The fox suspicion then flashed away in Zhao Liang's heart, and then put it away again, and after spitting a few smoke rings, he said to Lao Li Shi: "Continue to investigate, this matter would rather be believed than not." Otherwise, there is no way to explain where the scorched corpse disappeared and where the brain went! ”。 As he spoke, he turned off the flashlight.

"Hmm." Old Master Li nodded his head and took a puff of paper cigarette rolls, and the already dim cigarette butts suddenly brightened.

"Inspector Zhao, come and take a look at the corpse." At the same time, a young policeman rushed out of the small courtyard behind them in a hurry and stood beside Zhao Liang.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Liang asked after flicking the cigarette ash.

"The forensic doctor said, and the gall of the charred corpse is gone." The little policeman gasped heavily.

"What?" Zhao Liang, who blurted out an exclamation, was suddenly stunned, and then an angry look appeared on his face, his eyebrows were raised upward, but his mouth was grinning downward......

On Happy Horse Mountain, the pines and cypresses swayed in the wind, and the shadows of the trees swayed with them, like monsters with teeth and claws.

The blind woman did not rush to answer after taking the money; She first put the silver dollar to her mouth and blew it, and after quickly moving the silver dollar to her ear, she showed a little joy after listening to the sound, and then slowly spoke: "Young master, there is a specialization in the art industry; The old woman is good at Gu and touching bones, and as for curing incurable diseases, you have to ask the trickster Nine Fingers!".

"Nine Fingers of the Trickster? Who is that? Mu Qing groaned for a while, and immediately asked.

The blind woman laughed and said nothing, and once again stretched out her right hand in front of Mu Qingming.

Mu Qingming took out another silver dollar and put it in her hand.

The night wind whipped up the leaves on the ground, blowing them swirling in mid-air and flying upward.

"Nine Fingers is just a nickname, who doesn't even know the old man and other stall owners, only that he is the most powerful doctor in the ghost market of Happy Valley. In his opinion, many incurable diseases are nothing. The blind woman grinned after taking the silver dollar, and said in a slightly gloating tone: "This man is a drug idiot, and he often studies strange pathologies and strange drug properties. But in the early years, he liked to gamble money, and was arrested in the casino, and then cut off one of his fingers according to the rules of the casino, so everyone later called him Nine Fingers. ”。

Mu Qingming bowed slightly when she heard this, and then said to the blind woman: "Thank you." After that, he picked up Mo Han and strode away.

"Come again." She didn't raise her head, but just fumbled and counted the silver dollars in her hand, and said with a smile.

Mu Qingming didn't say anything, just walked and looked, looking for the nine fingers that the blind woman said, while Mo Han pouted slightly with a little unwillingness: "It's too expensive." ”。

"What's too expensive?" Mu Qingming's eyes looked left and right, looking for the nine-fingered person among the many stall owners, and asked casually at the same time.

"Two yuan, two yuan can buy more than 70 catties of rice, how many words did you ask?" Mo Han quickly pinned the hair in his ears that was blown by the cold wind behind his ears, and his voice mentioned a little, and said urgently: "Do you think you have a lot of money?" The last time I asked Daddy Liu, it was the same, and this time I asked the blind woman like this, you are a loser. ”。

"Money can make ghosts grind, don't worry about Zhaoxue for the murder." Mu Qingming suddenly stood still after answering lightly, and after turning his head, his eyes were fixed on the stall beside him.

Mo Han still wanted to reason with him, but after looking as far as his eyes could see, he hurriedly swallowed all the theoretical words that were almost on his lips.

I saw that instead of spreading a layer of rags on the ground and placing goods, the stall set up a small table on the ground, on which there were some strange medicines in addition to a small pillow.

Mu Qingming swept the things on the table, and saw that there was a jar of human urine named Renzhongbai, the five spirit fat of flying squirrel feces, and the blood charcoal of the fever charcoal, etc., all of which were strange Chinese medicines, just like the private pharmacy at home.

Sitting behind the table was a thin, middle-aged man with old clothes and patches. The right hand shaking a folding fan is missing the finger in the middle.

"Nine Fingers of the Trickster?" When the man looked at Mu Qingming, Mu Qingming just opened his mouth to ask.

"Exactly down there." The man smiled kindly and squinted his small round eyes in response.

With such an amiable smile, it is impossible to associate him with the word trickster.

"I heard that you are a ...... in the ghost market" Mu Qing paused before he finished speaking, thinking that the word trickster doctor was somewhat derogatory, so after a little thought, he changed his words: "You are the miracle doctor here, I have a few questions I want to ask you." ”。

"It's not a miracle doctor, it's a trick doctor." Nine Fingers smiled disappreciatively; It seems that the word weird does not have a derogatory meaning in his opinion, but rather a kind of pride for him.

"Okay, Nine-Fingered Trickster." Mu Qingming didn't talk nonsense, just nodded lightly, and blurted out the lie he had made up in his heart before: "Someone in my family has a mad disease, and the doctors in the city can't cure it. ”。

"Were you scared crazy, or was you born that way?" The Nine-Fingered Trickster looked at Mu Qingming and Mo Han and asked softly, his eyes rolled.

"Excuse me, is there any difference between the two?" Mu Qingming's tone was sincere.

The nine-fingered trickster smiled softly, but did not speak; Instead, like the blind woman, she stretched out her hand towards Mu Qingming first.

The stall owners of the ghost market are shrewd people, and most of them are greedy for money; For Mu Qingming, who often goes in and out of ghost markets in various places, he is used to their behavior of selling guanzi to make money, so he took out a silver dollar without saying anything, but he didn't rush to hand it to the other party, just shook the silver dollar in his hand, and said: "Tell me the difference, and how to treat it, then this dollar is yours." ”。

As soon as he saw the silver dollar, the nine-fingered trickster suddenly brightened his eyes, stared at the silver dollar that was flashing brightly under the light of the oil lamp, nodded quickly, and said slowly: "The innate treatment is not good, and the acquired one who is scared crazy can be cured." ”。

"In fact, the prescription is not difficult, madness is nothing more than being frightened and confused. It's just that you have to be a little brave to get all the drugs on this prescription. After a pause, the nine-fingered trickster shook the folding fan with one hand, stroked the goatee slightly rolled up under the chin with the other hand, and said softly: "One fresh human brain and one human gall, add water and millet to boil into porridge, and give the patient to drink and eat porridge." ”。

Does the Nine-Fingered Miracle Doctor's strange prescription work? Is the nine-fingered miracle doctor who knows this home remedy the murderer? Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.
