Chapter 21: The Tree Again
Daoist Qian is also a capable person, he sang for two hours in a row, and the words in his mouth were not repeated, and he sang casually in a different way, Lin Ping and the three of them were stunned when they heard it next to him, this is a cow!
Tired and sweating profusely, this "ritual service" was over, Daoist Qian packed up his things, and said to Qi Jianlin: "Jianlin, there will be no more demons coming to your house." Zhuangzhuang's illness will get better slowly, so let's go in and take a look later, you can rest assured. ”
Qi Jianlin took out a red envelope and stuffed it into Daoist Qian's hand, clasped Daoist Qian's hands, and said, "Thank you Master Qian." ”
Daoist Qian took the handbag into the pocket of the robe and pinched it, and said with a smile: "It's all neighborhood, don't be so polite." I'm treating the symptoms but not the root cause, and if I want to completely cure it, I have to rely on Dr. Xu, right? ”
Daoist Qian will come to something, and he praised Xu Jie again.
Xu Jie stepped forward and cleared his throat: "Qian Daochang, this is also a science, but we don't understand it, we don't understand it, but it doesn't prevent it from having an effect." No matter what method is used, as long as it can cure the disease and save people, it is a good way. Let's go in and see how the child is doing, with me and Qian Daochang here, you can rest assured. ”
It's also rare, this kind of metaphysical thing is rejected by doctors in the name of science on weekdays, and it is rare to "unify" opinions today.
After doing the rituals, the next thing is to ask Qi Zhuangzhuang, I don't know if the child is awake.
Daoist Qian and Qi Jianlin exchanged pleasantries, paving the way for Xu Jie, and a few people walked to the left into the house.
The child woke up, turned his head to look at Qi Jianlin and shouted that he was hungry.
Qi Jianlin's wife hurriedly came in with a bowl of rice to feed the children, and drove Qi Jianlin and his wife out after dinner, which is another "unique" medical skill.
Lin Ping sat on the edge of Qi Zhuangzhuang's bed, looking at this pale child, Lin Ping felt uncomfortable for a while, when he was a child, the conditions of the orphanage were difficult, and many children had no money to go to the hospital when they were sick, and it was also like this, and some children died in the end because of death, that is, from then on, Lin Ping was full of awe and importance to life.
"Zhuangzhuang, can you tell my brother where you went at noon before you got sick the year before last?" Lin Ping looked at Qi Zhuangzhuang and asked.
Qi Zhuangzhuang's voice was very weak, and his speech speed was also very slow, speaking in the local dialect, and Daoist Qian was still "translating" for Lin Ping while talking.
The general situation is: at noon that day, Qi Zhuangzhuang was bored at home, so he went out to play hide and seek with his friends, and hid in the grass under the big tree in the yard of an abandoned house. The child was also a dead eye, and hid for half an hour, and when he saw that no one came to look for him, he simply kept hiding in the grass. It was warm that day, and I fell asleep leaning against a tree, and when I woke up, my friends were scattered, and when I came home, I fell ill.
Lin Ping asked again which tree it was, and Qi Zhuang said the location in a dignified manner, Lin Ping was not a local, and he didn't know where the tree Qi Zhuangzhuang was talking about. However, Qian Daoist immediately remembered that there was still a yard in the abandoned house, at that time, the countryside was not rich, and the family conditions that could build a yard were not bad, and it was a waste house, and Qian Daoist immediately said that it was the tree in the backyard of Zhang Qingshan's abandoned old house, that is, the tree that Zhang Xiaoxi fell ill after sleeping all night.
It's the tree again.
Lin Ping felt that this was a clue, the reason why these two people were sick was related to that tree, but just one tree, it could make people sick?
It's a little incredible, but the clue clearly points to the tree.
Lin Ping decided to go over and take a look, he was going to go after eating at noon, but he happened to hear that Qi Zhuangzhuang also had the same disease, so he was delayed for several hours.
For looking at trees, Yu Cheng and Xu Jie are not interested.
Xu Jie shouted to go to the surrounding area to see if he could find some treasures, he heard that there are many treasures in the countryside, it is easy to pick up leaks, and he has been in the antique market for a long time, although his vision is not as good as those experts and professors, but it will not be worse, so he went with him.
After coming out of the house, he exchanged pleasantries with Qi Jianlin, and he was sneering at the honest man again.
Daoist Qian asked for Lin Ping's phone number, to put it bluntly, he saw that Lin Ping's previous methods were a bit capable, and he wanted to rely on a little relationship, and if he encountered a tricky matter in the future, he would find someone to help.
Yu Cheng took Lin Ping to Zhang Qingshan's abandoned old house.
After turning around, I saw Zhang Qingshan's abandoned old house, behind a forest at the east end of the village, the earthen house looked like it was about to collapse, since the new house was built, Zhang Qingshan rarely came to the old house when he came back, and he didn't repair it and kept it like this.
From a distance, the walls of the earthen house have been cracked, the doors and windows are all gone, there are piles of moldy and rotten straw poles in front of the door, the treetops of the tree in the backyard are nearly three or four meters high from the earth, the leaves are still green, the top of the tree grows well and the dense treetops hang upside down, and you can smell the faint fragrance of osmanthus flowers from a distance of more than ten meters, although it is not the peak season for the osmanthus tree to bloom, but the taste is already very strong, but the smell seems to have a little bit of moldy smell, behind the laurel tree is a small hill more than ten meters high.
The walls of the backyard were made of gravel mixed with mud, and now the walls on both sides have collapsed, and only half of the road remains.
Yu Cheng took Lin Pingrao into the front room and walked into the courtyard from the side of the collapse.
As soon as he entered the yard, Lin Ping was stunned, this tree was too weird.
When I came here just now, because the view was blocked by the abandoned house, I saw that the top of the tree was dense and verdant, and the growth was gratifying, and now I saw the part that was covered by the earthen house, the trunk of more than one meter thick was all gray-brown, and the top of the tree was full of moss, and the bark was raised and pimpled, and the trunk inside was black cracks, which was very different from the top of the tree, just like a beautiful and bright girl with a dry, dying body, very incongruous.
"Lin Ping, why is this tree like this? It's too weird, right? I've never seen a tree look like this, and the tree at the top isn't too old, but looking at the bottom it feels like the tree is dying. Yu Cheng also noticed this strange big tree.
Lin Ping squatted under the big tree, looked up, the trunk was about a meter above the ground, the difference there was the most obvious, the top was still normal yellow-brown, and the bottom suddenly turned black, not the gray-brown of the tree lesion or aging, it was a dark gray-black.
"It's weird."
Lin Ping observed the laurel tree for a while, and also felt a little weird, looking at the roots, the tree was afraid that it had died of old age, but the branches and leaves at the top were so dense and green, it didn't look like an old tree at all, and the trunk did not appear to be obviously cracked, but narrow black cracks, no wormholes and no nodules.
"The problem is most likely in this tree." Lin Ping thought in his heart.
