Chapter 4: The Corpse Holds the Wood
Her face was dark, her face was covered with red bumps, and one eye was large and the other was small, and she looked very awkward.
Mei Lin had never seen such an ugly girl.
At the same time, a voice came from the room, without any money, and dared to come here for medical treatment, do you think our medical clinic is for beggars?
was hit by a girl, and Mei Lin was angry.
A fat man in a white coat was standing at the doorway, and said commandingly.
It turned out that the girl was pushed out of the room by him.
It's really a dog's eye and people are low! Mei Lin scolded.
Although his voice was small, it was still heard by the other party.
The fat doctor's gaze fell on Mei Lin, "You are really good at talking cool things, or you will pay for her medical expenses!" ”
He said, pointing to a large stack of pill boxes on the table.
looked at the girl next to her, Mei Lin didn't know her, so there was no need to pay for her medicine.
The fat doctor said unrelentingly, if you don't have that ability, don't come here to pretend to be garlic!
Mei Lin was enraged by him, walked into the room and asked, how much are these medicines, count me in!
Unexpectedly, he was really willing to pay for the girl, the fat doctor was stunned for a moment, and soon handed over a long receipt, which actually had thousands of dollars.
Mei Lin glanced back at the girl, her body was very weak, and she was a little weak.
Mei Lin walked over to the table and didn't take the pills, but set them aside.
Then he beckoned to the girl and said, Come here!
Now not only the fat doctor, but even the girl doesn't know what Mei Lin is going to do.
She walked over suspiciously, and Mei Lin sat down on the chair on the side, and then reached out to catch the girl's pulse.
Seeing this scene, the fat doctor suddenly understood, and asked with a sneer, it turned out that you met an expert, are you here to grab a job?
Mei Lin didn't bother to pay attention to him, he squinted his eyes, feeling the beating of the girl's pulse.
Grandpa taught him a lot of medical skills, of course, not comparable to the fat doctor.
The girl's pulse is very strange, and her innate qi is very weak.
Mei Lin looked at the medicine that the fat doctor prescribed to the girl, and those medicines had no effect on her illness at all.
He retracted his hand, thinking of a cure for the disease.
The fat doctor was completely angry, pushed him, and said, you think you are something, get out of here quickly!
Mei Lin backhanded, and the fat doctor was pushed and sat on the chair.
Hearing the noise, a large group of people gathered around the door, including the doctor who had bandaged Mei Lin's wound just now.
He asked the fat doctor, Director Liang, are you okay? Or get security guards and kick him out.
Director Liang told Mei Lin, "She has a terminal illness.
If you can heal her, I will worship you as a teacher.
If you don't have that ability, we just don't have a toilet sweeper, so you can clean the toilet! ”
Hearing his words, everyone else burst into laughter.
In the eyes of others, Mei Lin is just a migrant worker who is bullied and injured all over his body, and it is impossible to treat his illness at all.
Mei Lin frowned and looked at Director Liang, and said, you have to count when you speak, I will come to you in three days!
On eye contact with Mei Lin, Director Liang was slightly stunned, he had never seen such a resolute look.
He sneered and said, "Everyone remember his words, and in three days, if he doesn't dare to come, we will go to the construction site to find him."
Let him not get off the stage! ”
Mei Lin ignored their taunts and took the girl's hand and walked out.
To his surprise, the girl's face, though black and red, was covered with pimples, similar to the bark of an old tree.
The hands are very white and delicate.
The girl looked at him suspiciously, and did not withdraw her hand, but let him pull it, and walked towards the outside of the medical center.
The girl didn't speak the whole time, more like a mute.
Mei Lin didn't care about this, he kept thinking of a prescription in his head.
I can't think of a suitable plan.
Halfway through, he asked the girl, where do you live? What is your name?
The girl said in a very low voice, My name is Shen Yanfei, I just arrived here, and I don't have a place to live.
Looking at her appearance, her situation is even worse than Mei Lin, and she is probably really a beggar.
This was a bit of a headache for Mei Lin, because he himself lived on the construction site.
But after making a bet with Director Liang, he couldn't ignore her.
He discussed with her, if you don't dislike it, you can live with us first, and I will find a way to cure your illness.
The girl hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
There are only two people living in the shed where Mei Lin is located, and the other person is named Pang Guang.
When he returned to his residence, Pang Guang told him, you took half a day off, but you went out all day, and Lao Gao was very unhappy.
Lao Gao is the person in charge of the construction site and is a very powerful guy.
He always had a smile on his face, but he was very strict with them.
Mei Lin said, leave him alone.
Pang Guang looked at Shen Yanfei and asked, who is she?
Mei Lin said that it was a relative of mine who had no place to live and planned to stay here for a few days.
Looking at Shen Yanfei's appearance, Pang Guang grinned and didn't say anything, he had never seen such an ugly girl.
After settling her down, Mei Lin thought about it for most of the night and couldn't think of a suitable prescription.
After dawn, he went to work on the construction site.
Pang Guang walked towards Nunuzui not far away, and the foreman Lao Gao walked over with his hands behind his back.
He found fault and let Mei Lin return to work several times.
There is no problem with Mei Lin's work at all, Lao Gao is obviously picking bones in eggs.
He was patient and finally sent him away.
At the end of the day, he dragged his tired body back.
After eating at the construction site, I brought one back to Shen Yanfei.
Shen Yanfei was sitting at the door of the shed in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.
Mei Lin handed her the lunch box, but Shen Yanfei was not very picky.
Eat a few bites casually and put the lunch box aside.
She rarely speaks, always looks preoccupied, and is reluctant to mention her life experience.
There was really no way, Mei Lin went to a place where no one was there and shouted a few times Master.
The cold voice came again and asked him, "Is there anything wrong with me?"
Mei Lin told her about Shen Yanfei.
Master said, "I have felt her pulse, and this disease can be cured, but it requires a very special medicine.
Find it, and that's half the battle. ”
Master continued, "The medicine is called Corpse Hugmu, and it is very difficult to find.
It is said that this tree is only found in coffins that are old for many years. ”
The little hope that Mei Lin had just seen disappeared again.
Where can you find something so bizarre?
While he was wondering, Master's voice came again, "As far as I know, there is a place where there are such trees. ”
Where, he asked?
Master said, "Even if I tell you, you won't be able to get it, and if you don't get it, you'll take your life."
You have to prepare something before you can go to that place. ”
What is it? Mei Lin asked puzzled.
Master said, a bowl of black dog blood, a one-meter-long willow branch!
It's easy to do. Mei Lin pondered.
He went to the nearest market to buy a bucket of black dog blood and broke off a willow branch from a willow tree by the side of the road.
Pang Guang asked him curiously, what are you doing with these things?
In order to avoid trouble, Mei Lin didn't tell him.
In the dead of night, he put the carpentry box behind him, and then walked into the distance according to the master's instructions.
There is a cemetery five or six miles away from the construction site.
People who died in the surrounding villages would be buried here.
It was the middle of the night, and it was dark, and occasionally one or two night owls could be heard.
The cemetery is very gloomy, and few people come here during the day.
The night is even more creepy.
Mei Lin wiped the sweat from her head and walked towards the cemetery.
Master told him that there was an old locust tree in the middle of the cemetery, and that he would be able to find what he was looking for by digging to the south of the old locust tree.
Not far away, there is indeed an old locust tree more than one zhang high.
It had long since died, and its dry branches stretched out like ghost claws.
Mei Lin put the black dog blood and wicker aside, and then put the carpentry box on the ground.
He brought the shovel and dug near the roots of the tree.
Mei Lin wondered very much, there was not even a grave in front of the old locust tree, let alone a grave.
I don't know if the master has looked away.
He sweated and dug up the dirt.
The roots of the old locust tree stretched out from the side, and the roots were very hard, and he cut them with a carpenter's axe as he dug the soil.
It took more than an hour to dig more than a meter deep.
When he looked up to wipe his sweat, he found that he didn't know when, a group of people surrounded the old locust tree.
They faced the old locust tree and wore black robes.
They knelt motionless in front of the old locust tree, with sparse hair on their heads.
Mei Lin's hairs stood on end, and he took a few steps back.
Suddenly, the men turned back together.
What Mei Lin saw were faces with no facial features like white paper!
Mei Lin was so frightened that she almost sat on the ground.
The figures stood up together and lunged at him.
A cold air that invaded the skin hit the face.
Mei Lin was just about to run back when Master's voice came, quickly use wicker to dip black dog blood into them!
Hearing her reminder, Mei Lin remembered.
He quickly picked up the wicker and threw it at them with the blood of the black dog.
Blood dripped down on them, and immediately puffs of black smoke came out, and screams followed.
The figures faded away.
Mei Lin breathed a sigh of relief.
Master said that the old locust tree itself has the effect of gathering souls. After a while, you cut off the roots of the old locust tree, and they won't appear.
With the experience just now, Mei Lin was much bolder.
He continued to dig down, and with a thud, the shovel hit something like a plank.
He carefully cleared the surrounding dirt, and a large red coffin appeared in view.
Strangely, although the coffin had been buried in the ground for a long time, it did not decay at all.
Master said, the thing is in the coffin, you have to be more careful!
Not knowing what was in the coffin, Mei Lin carefully dug up the surrounding dirt.
The coffin was exposed.
It is almost a person tall and much larger than a normal coffin.
Around the coffin was a layer of roots of the old locust tree.
They were like long snakes, trying to reach into the coffin.
Mei Lin carefully cut off the roots of the trees around the coffin.
From the outside, the old locust tree has been dead for a long time, and black water is flowing from the severed roots.
The black water was like ink, and it smelled rancid.
After a while, the dirt around the coffin was soaked with black water.
