Chapter 36: The Snake Plague (1)

At noon, the sun was warm, and even the dim light in the room was a little brighter.

Duan Changge was sitting on the edge of the bed and checking the pulse of his wife, Bai Hanyan was standing behind him, looking at him with a serious look and a sarcastic sneer in his heart, this long song was really good at pretending.

"Divine doctor, how is my body?" Looking at his wife, her eyes lit up with hope.

Duan Changge was about to open his lips, and suddenly there was a dinging sound outside the door, and several people turned around to look, and saw Zhang Wang running in from the door in a panic, and when he closed the door, he almost caught his fingers because he trembled too much, and looked at his wife and hurriedly got up, and asked with concern: "Xianggong, what happened?" ”

Zhang Wang suddenly sat on the ground, as if he was extremely frightened, his tongue trembled, and he couldn't speak clearly: "The Wang family, the Wang family, really suffered retribution!" ”

"Retribution? What retribution? Bai Hanyan looked at him with such a frightened look, and couldn't help but be shocked.

"The Wang family has suffered from snakes! There are so many snakes, there are so many ...... A lot of snakes poured out of the king's house! Zhang Wang got up from the ground, took two steps to the bed, and hugged his wife, and her whole body trembled like chaff.

"Snakes?" Bai Hanyan's face changed slightly, and his apricot eyes sank: "How can there be snakes here?" ”

She had observed the topography of the place, except for one or two high slopes and mounds, it was an endless plain, and there were no mountains, forests, stone nests, and no snakes to inhabit.

"It's true!" Zhang Wang's face was frightened, and his voice trembled: "It's just a matter of Fang Cai, the people of the Wang family are already scared, at first it was just one or two snakes, and then it gradually evolved into dozens or even hundreds of snakes appearing together, drilling out of cellars, wells, everywhere, crawling everywhere, I'm afraid it will soon spread to the entire village!" ”

"It's just a few snakes, what are you afraid of?" Duan Changge chuckled, with a sneer in his laughter, and continued to check his wife's pulse.

Bai Hanyan looked at Duan Changge's calm appearance, and was not a little surprised, he glanced at him inquiringly, and gradually had a conjecture in his heart.

Looking at his wife, he shook his head and sighed: "Alas, what kind of sin has happened to this Wang family!" ”

Bai Hanyan immediately took the opportunity to answer, and asked curiously, "Is something wrong with this Wang family?" ”

Zhang Wang's wife stopped talking, as if there was some taboo, leaned into her husband's arms, looked up at the two of them, sighed and said helplessly: "Don't ask, there are some things you still don't want to know." ”

Bai Hanyan's lips opened slightly, and he wanted to say something, but Duan Changge took the lead, and he said with a smile: "Since this is the case, we will no longer ask each other, Mrs. Zun's condition has improved, just take the medicine on time." ”

After that, he took Bai Hanyan's arm and left, and when he walked to the door, he suddenly remembered something, turned around and groped for an object from his arms, flicked his sleeves and threw it into Zhang Wang's hand, and said with a smile: "This pack of elixir can repel snakes, scatter it around the house, and keep this place safe, no snakes will disturb you." ”

Bai Hanyan had been carried by Duan Changge to the broken house, and he broke free of him, with anger in his voice: "Duan Changge, why don't you let me ask clearly?" ”

Duan Changge looked at her, and the sneer in his eyes was obvious: "How much more do you expect to know from these two village farmers?" ”

Bai Hanyan looked at his invincible appearance, and he was angry: "Lord Duan, don't you know that when solving the case, you can't let go of any clues?" If you don't listen to them from their mouths, do you still want the people of the Wang family to tell you personally? ”

"Why not?" Duan Changge raised his eyebrows and looked at her.

Bai Hanyan glanced at him deeply, remembered Zhang Wang's words, frowned slightly, and said a little suspiciously: "You are the ghost of the Wang family's snake trouble?" ”

She lowered her eyebrows and thought about it, she didn't see Cangli after this morning, and then the Wang family suffered from snakes, where is there such a coincidence?

Duan Changge sat on the kang in his robe, stretched out his hand to pick up the bowl and took a sip of water quite elegantly, squinted at Bai Hanyan on the side, and said sharply and sarcastically:

"Sometimes you still have to rely on means to do things, you can't sit still, you have to take the initiative to hold the initiative in the palm of your hand." After a pause, Duan Changge sighed helplessly, stretched out his slender finger and pointed at Bai Hanyan's head, and sighed: "Han Yan, you should take this kind of thing with you when you go out." ”

Bai Hanyan raised his palm with angry eyes and threw it over, before it touched the corner of his clothes, he had already reached out and clasped her wrist, raised his eyebrows and sneered: "The skills are not as good as others, you still don't admit it?" ”

Bai Hanyan struggled to break free of him, flicked his sleeves, and said coldly: "I see how you can accomplish this kind of trick?!" ”

Duan Changge raised his eyebrows, straightened his clothes, calmly tasted the water in the bowl, and said lightly: "Before sunset, the people of the Wang family will definitely come to invite me in person." ”

——

Bai Hanyan sat on the wooden steps in the earthen courtyard of Zhang Wang's house, opened the door, and watched the little snakes twist their soft and boneless bodies swaggering on the path outside the door.

Looking at his wife, he pushed open the door of the house, wrapped in a robe, walked to Bai Hanyan and sat down, looked at the group of snake grandchildren outside, and said with a worried face: "Master Han, will it be dangerous for my father-in-law to go to catch snakes?" ”

Bai Hanyan looked back, saw that her pale face was full of anxiety and anxiety, and smiled comfortingly: "Don't worry, with the elixir of the divine doctor, your father-in-law will not be in danger." ”

Zhang Wang's wife nodded, pursed her lips and said no more, only looked anxiously at the door, hoping that her husband would appear in front of her in the next moment.

Bai Hanyan sighed slightly, and her eyes also fell on the door, At this moment, the sun in the sky has turned west, and she is also secretly waiting for the news of the Wang family.

The sun has been worn out by time, the sky is almost dusk, and the clouds in the sky are like a layer of blood, and they are gradually blackened by the setting sun.

Suddenly, a touch of coarse cloth clothes came into view, Zhang Wang finally walked into the door, his wife suddenly got up from the ground, raised her legs and ran towards the man at the door, and threw herself into his arms, with a cry in her voice: "Xianggong, you are finally back." ”

Bai Hanyan also stood up, chuckled and looked at the men and women hugging each other at the door, looked at the woman in his arms with one hand, his face flushed with shame, scratched his head and said a little embarrassed: "There is a miracle doctor's elixir, what are you afraid of?" ”

"It's natural, and my medicine is spiritual." Duan Changge also walked out of the house and looked at the couple with a smile on his face.

Looking at him, he was a little stunned, and when he reacted, he seemed to see the gods, bowed to him with a pious face, and said respectfully: "Immortals, you are really a god, the elixir you gave me is really spiritual, the snake is not afraid of people at all, many snake-catching villagers have been bitten, but the snake seems to be afraid of me, and when it meets me, it hides, and even does not dare to enter in front of me." ”

Bai Hanyan glanced back at Duan Changge, and saw that his expression was calm and unhurried, and he looked like he was in his chest, he silently despised him in his heart, turned around and looked at him and his wife, and pretended to be surprised: "Is it, it's really so amazing?" ”

"Yes, yes, I told them that a divine doctor came to my house to give me an elixir, and they all came to you to ask for it?" Zhang Wang looked at Duan Changge with a look of adoration.

"Them?" Bai Hanyan's heart moved slightly, and asked, "Who are they talking about?" ”

"Naturally, they are from the Wang family, when they see that this elixir is magical, they all want to ask for a copy for self-defense, and they are afraid that it is almost there at this time." Zhang Wang turned around and looked at the path at the door, his eyes lit up, and he said, "It's here, it's here, the people of the Wang family are here." ”

Bai Hanyan looked at Duan Changge in a little surprise, she didn't expect that the people from the Wang family really came, Duan Changge raised her eyebrows at her, and his face was quite proud.

Looking at the room, an oil lamp was lit on the broken wooden table, Duan Changge sat on the fire, his eyes closed and closed lightly in the flickering candle flame, the scarlet robe was slowly belted, his spirit was flying, and his bearing was leisurely and elegant, and he actually had a bit of a sense of fairy wind and bones.

The Wang family came from a man about thirty years old, dressed as a plain housekeeper, but his eyes were very shrewd, he glanced at Duan Changge on the kang, and saw that he was so young, he couldn't help but raise his chin, and said with some doubts: "You are the miracle doctor in Zhang Wang's mouth, can drive snakes?" ”

Bai Hanyan was a little depressed in his heart, this person's tone was a little rude, and he didn't seem to believe Duan Changge's methods, so he stepped forward and said coldly: "This son, my family's immortals are also fateful, looking at the nature of the face to help, if there is no eye, my son-in-law is unwilling to look at it." ”

The man was choked by Bai Hanyan, but he was also calm, and said to Duan Changge: "This immortal, you also know the current situation, do you have a way to cure my Wang family's snake trouble?" ”

Duan Changge didn't rush to answer, it took a long time before he slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were like a star, and he slowly took out a folding fan from his waist, opened it, smiled gently and elegantly, and fanned the folding fan in his hand in a chic manner, but the smile was not visible.

Bai Hanyan's eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at the fan, it was her folding fan.

"The snake likes moisture, because of the difficulty of moving, it was originally dormant at the bottom of the well, only because the people on the ground could not escape, so it had to move with its family." Duan Changge said slowly.

When the housekeeper heard this, he trembled, his eyes widened in disbelief, as if he saw a man of God, he hurriedly straightened his clothes, bowed his hands, and made a long salute: "The villain is Ma Zhenbing, the housekeeper in the old courtyard of Lord Wang Jin, if you are negligent, please forgive the immortals."

Duan Changge shook his fan, there was no expression on his face, he just said lightly: "You can talk about it." ”

Ma Zhenbing bowed gratefully before saying: "Today, the well of the Wang family suddenly dried up, and the villain led people to go down to the well to draw water, but unexpectedly, nearly a hundred snakes crawled out of the well. The villain has now ordered someone to block the well, but there are still snakes winding around, which is really uneasy to live in the house, and it is really a sin to affect the people of Wangjiapu. Please also ask the immortals to guide you in how to crack it. ”

"Crack?" Duan Changge squinted at him, sneered, and said disdainfully: "Your master is dead, how can you crack it, why don't you go and ask the demon Buddha enshrined in your family's master house, and ask if it can keep your Wang family's house safe?" ”
