Chapter 4: Autumn Moon Eclipse List

The thing was round and dark brown in color, and after stuffing it in my pocket, I went back to Huaihua Street.

I took the fried mustard out of the fridge and tore off the plastic wrap and sniffed it vigorously. The pungent smell rushed to the top of my head.

I coughed violently several times, and I really couldn't understand why anyone would be so interested in this food.

Su Quan didn't understand what I was doing at all, and I didn't say anything when I asked me.

I poured the bowl of mustard greens into a plastic bag, and I went out and hailed a taxi to the hospital. Su Quan also jumped into the car with me: "Tang Xiaofan, didn't we just go to the hospital?" What are you going to do now? ”

"Go ghost hunting!"

When I said these three words, I clearly felt that the taxi driver was stunned.

Su Quan asked me, "What do you use to catch ghosts?" How do you catch it? ”

"Use this!" I pointed to the plastic bag in my arms.

"Can this catch ghosts? Isn't this food? Su Quan's face was inexplicable.

I didn't say anything more, in fact, whether this thing works or not, I don't have any bottom in my own heart, I just hope that my dad's judgment is correct.

I guess I think Su and I are all insane, and the taxi driver is driving fast. In less than twenty minutes, we were at the hospital.

It's eight o'clock in the evening, and it's time to visit the sick.

Su Quan and I put on the two stolen white coats again, and after finding two masks to put on, we walked directly to Daniel Zhang's ward.

This time we did not go in directly, but stood at the door and looked inside through the glass, in addition to Daniel Zhang, there was a doctor and a nurse in the ward. Daniel Zhang is awake, but he still seems to be delirious, and his condition seems to be much more serious than the last time we saw it.

Although he was tied to the bed, he craned his neck and screamed into the air.

The mouth is still uttering that kind of vague words, what "revenge", "death is wronged", "retribution" and the like, people feel furious in their hearts.

A woman, small and thin, stood by and stared at the man on the bed, looking very helpless with a pitiful appearance.

She should be Daniel Zhang's wife, the man has become like that, which woman is not worried.

After the doctor made some notes with the nurse, he explained something to the woman next to him and left. When they came out, Su Quan and I dodged for a while, and it wasn't until after they left that we pushed the door and entered the ward.

When Daniel Zhang's wife saw that the doctor had just left, two more people in white coats came in, and they didn't know what was going on for a while.

The woman stepped forward to ask something, and I took off my mask and shushed her, telling her not to speak. Then, I looked at Su Quan again and motioned for him to come over and help.

Daniel Zhang on the hospital bed saw us approaching, and seemed to have an instinctive rejection.

As soon as I opened the plastic bag containing the mustard greens, the pungent smell immediately hit my nose and choked on me.

I said to Su Quan: "You, come and help me hold his mouth!" ”

Seeing him standing still, I said again: "What are you doing in a daze, do you want to catch that female ghost?" I tell you what to do, and you just do it. ”

Su Quan was stunned, finally mustered up the courage, stepped forward and just grabbed Daniel Zhang's neck, and the woman next to him suddenly pounced. Her nails scratched Su Quan's neck several times: "You are not doctors!?" What do you want to do? ”

Su Quan screamed in pain, and quickly dodged away.

The woman turned around and pushed me back, don't look at this woman's small stature, her strength is really great at a critical time, and she almost pushed me to the ground, a big living person.

Although some of the mustard greens in my arms were spilled, most of them were still in the bag.

She kept yelling at us, and there were people coming and going, and if this woman continued to mess around, it would be all over if someone found out.

So I gave Su Quan a look, and after he realized it, he took off his white coat as a rope and tied the little woman to the chair. She was still struggling, and I took off my white coat again, crumpled my sleeves and stuffed them into the woman's mouth.

When it was over, I breathed a sigh of relief, and finally quieted down.

The woman was quiet, and her husband Daniel Zhang was still roaring. Su Quan and I stepped forward, broke Daniel Zhang's mouth again, and directly stuffed the fried mustard greens into Daniel Zhang's mouth.

The smell hit the back of my head just by smelling it, not to mention Daniel Zhang's mouth full of throat.

The mouth full of mustard greens directly stimulated Daniel Zhang's Tianling Gai. He struggled even harder, the metal clattering of the bed frame, but the strap that bound him was thick enough, otherwise it would have broken long ago.

Stimulated by a mouth full of mustard greens, Daniel Zhang struggled desperately. Suddenly, his eyes froze, staring straight at the ceiling, and his body stopped struggling.

Seeing this, Su Quan was frightened, and he looked at me: "Tang Xiaofan, what's the situation, he won't die, right?" ”

Looking at the scene in front of me, I actually didn't know the bottom of my heart.

At this moment, the body froze Daniel Zhang's body trembled again, and I saw that his throat contracted a few times, as if there was something in it, which was constantly emerging outward.

It was too late, it was too late, and a stream of black-brown mucus squirted out of Daniel Zhang's mouth.

Seeing that the smelly things finally came out of his stomach, the heart I had been hanging on finally let go. And Daniel Zhang, his body softened, and there was no major movement.

Just as I was breathing a sigh of relief, the door was suddenly pushed open.

The frightened little nurse looked at me and Su Quan, then at the patient lying motionless on the hospital bed, with black mucus and mustard greens on his lips, and then turned his head to see the woman tied to the stool again.

She screamed and ran out......

The police soon came, and Su Quan and I were also put in the detention center without suspense.

That night, I slept soundly, and I slept all night without dreams until dawn, and the reason for my peace of mind was that Daniel Zhang spit out all the black slime.

If it weren't for that, I should have stayed up all night.

As I expected, early the next morning, Su Quan and I were released.

The person who picked me up was my dad Tang Sihai.

When I saw him, my hanging heart finally let go. We went to the hospital again, Daniel Zhang had recovered, the whole person was completely conscious, but his physical strength had not yet recovered, and he wanted to speak but had no strength.

Su Quan asked me if the female ghost was gone, I nodded, and I said that I had sent her away with a spell, and she would never come back to mess around in the future.

Hearing me say this, Su Quan's complexion was much more relaxed.

Back at the noodle shop, my dad asked me what Su Quan meant by what he said, and I told him everything that had happened. After listening to this, he pondered for a moment and asked me if I had read his book "Autumn Moon Eclipse List".

That "Autumn Moon Eclipse List" was found by accident under my dad's bed, originally I was not interested in reading it, and the store was off the Internet in those days, which was really boring, so I simply flipped through it.

Seeing that I confessed, my dad was silent for a moment: "You don't have to worry when you should study, it's very positive to read these idle books." ”

I laughed a little: "How can that be considered an idle book?" The "Autumn Moon Eclipse List" is full of common sense of food and mutual restraint, and it also records a lot of ingredients and spices that have never been heard of. ”

Seeing that I said with relish, my dad continued to stare at me: "So, that's what you saw about the thing, that's where you looked?" ”

I nodded again, and my dad motioned for me to continue.

Clearing my throat, I said the following:

That day, Daniel Zhang and Su Quan ordered a bowl of chicken noodles by themselves, and also ordered two big dishes, a hot crayfish and a plate of spicy herb crucian carp.

After looking at the mucus at the corners of Daniel Zhang's mouth, I thought of something recorded in the "Autumn Moon Eclipse List" - Ghost Moon. It is a spice that grows in the 100,000 mountains of the southwest. Thumb-sized round and dark brown in color.

Devil's cardamom is a kind of nutmeg, but its fragrance is several times higher than that of ordinary nutmeg, but there is one biggest problem, that is, it is easy to hallucinate if you eat too much.

Therefore, this kind of ghost is listed by the food inspection department as a spice prohibited by order.

The marinade that Su Quan went to the vegetable market to buy was precisely added to this ghost, and the fragrance smelled quite attractive, so Daniel Zhang couldn't help but eat all those sacrifices in the mahjong room.

Later, I was on the floor of the stall where Su Quan bought braised vegetables, and sure enough, I found a piece of ghost that fell out of the braised pot.

With that, I took the piece of devil's coke out of my pocket and handed it to my dad.

Taking the things in my hand, my father put it on his nose and sniffed it, and asked me again: "If Daniel Zhang was hallucinated by eating that braised vegetables, there should be many people buying braised meat at that stall, why is Daniel Zhang the only one in such a serious situation?" ”

I said yes, and then walked out of the noodle shop and plucked a leaf from the flower stand on the side of the street.

This is Huoxiang, a kind of Chinese herb that grows in summer, and can also be used as a condiment or ingredient in cooking, adding a little when cooking spicy crucian carp, the unique taste of Huoxiang is mixed with the deliciousness of crucian carp meat, and the taste is unique.

My dad took the leaf in my hand and looked through it: "That's right, in the "Autumn Moon Eclipse List", it was said that when Huoxiang encounters a ghost, it will increase its hallucinogenic ability by hundreds of times, which is why Daniel Zhang suddenly went crazy, plus before the dementia, Daniel Zhang heard Su Quan talking about the female ghost, so after going crazy, he subconsciously thought that he was a female ghost. ”

My dad said, "Then why did you come up with mustard greens?" ”

I poured my dad a cup of tea and said, "Mustard greens that have been dried in water and stir-fried in an iron pot will produce a very pungent taste. Actually, it's the wasabi used for Japanese sashimi. This kind of thing is spicy but not pungent, but eating a lot of this kind of thing can clear up the cranial nerves that are paralyzed by the devil's cardamom. This is also what is said in "Autumn Moon Eclipse List", I tried it, and sure enough, the effect is obvious. ”

Hearing my words, my dad yawned, turned around and walked to the second floor.

When this noodle shop was rented, it was five meters high, and my dad cut it off two floors from it, and did business below, and two bedrooms on the top, one room for me and him.

He said as he walked: "It's a pity that my bowl of mustard greens, sealed for so long, the smell comes out, if you put some sesame oil balsamic vinegar or something cold to eat, it tastes much more authentic than the Japanese wasabi sold in the spice shop." Well, I'll go buy some more tomorrow and get something to eat. ”

I groaned, and the thought of the smell made my head hurt.

At this time, I suddenly thought of a question, so I asked him: "Dad, when Daniel Zhang went crazy in the store that day, he said two words vaguely in his mouth - Jiu Ge." What does this mean? ”

"Jiu goose ......" my dad lowered his head and squinted his eyes: "What he said should be - save me." ”

"Help me? Why do you say these two words? Could it be ......" I was shocked: "Could it be that Daniel Zhang really got ghosted?" Didn't he hallucinate from eating the cardamom and the herbs? ”

My dad asked me, "You haven't finished reading "Autumn Moon Eclipse List" yet, have you?" ”

I said, "I've read it early, and I haven't missed a word?" ”

My dad walked upstairs slowly with his hands behind his back, and he didn't answer my question, but said, "Xiaofan, there are many things in this world, which are not as simple as what you see in your eyes and think in your mind. ”

I reacted to my father's words for a long time, but I couldn't understand them.

"Old Tang Chicken Noodles" is finally open for business again, I originally thought that everything was calm, but I didn't want a small thing to change the fate of me and this noodle shop......
