Chapter 0375 - What Smells, Beriberi?
Tokai Medical University?
Sure enough, she smiled softly and continued:
"My name is Zhong Xiaoxuan, and I study at the same university as you. But it's a year older than you, and you shouldn't know me. ”
Zhong Xiaoxuan?
Sounds like a familiar name, huh?
It seems that Wang Miao mentioned it to me before......
"Oh-I remember, you are the so-called president of the Detective Literature Club, Zhong Xiaoxuan."
It dawned on me that after the incident in the underground cave, there were rumors throughout the medical school.
Among them, the closest to the truth is the version guessed by Zhong Xiaoxuan in front of him.
"Haha! I didn't expect you to recognize me, the little girl is really flattered! ”
Zhong Xiaoxuan hugged me like an ancient chivalrous woman, and then handed the bone-setting wine to Zhong Laohan.
Knowing that we actually knew each other and were still college classmates, Zhong Laohan was very enthusiastic to entertain all of us to stay for lunch.
It's hard to resist hospitality.
So, we said goodbye to Bai Qingshan and stayed at Zhong Laohan's house for the time being.
Looking at Zhong Laohan, who limped back to the house to cook, I couldn't help but ask Zhong Xiaoxuan curiously:
"What's going on with your grandfather's legs?"
"What else can I do, I accidentally fell! I'm so old, and I don't pay attention to things, which really breaks my heart as a granddaughter. ”
Zhong Xiaoxuan pouted, and asked me in turn:
"Why are you here? String relatives or passing by? ”
I said it was all a coincidence, but I came to Qingshan Village specifically to investigate one thing, but I didn't expect to meet her.
Zhong Xiaoxuan smiled, and said with a mysterious look at me:
"Investigate things? What can we do in this small mountain village to investigate. If you want to talk about the big thing that has happened recently, it is the sudden drowning of Uncle Qingshan and his daughter-in-law. Is this what you are here for? ”
Good boy!
This girl's logical analysis ability is too strong, and I feel that it is a bit condescending to be a criminal policeman after graduation.
In this case, I won't hide it anymore, and tell Zhong Xiaoxuan directly about Juanzi's corpse.
After Zhong Xiaoxuan heard this, a shocked expression suddenly appeared on her face.
It was the first time she had heard of such a thing, and it somewhat subverted her worldview.
At this time, Mr. Zhong beckoned us into the house for dinner.
And I looked at Zhong Laohan's limping leg, and suddenly the yin and yang eyes of my left eye jumped twice involuntarily.
Then, I saw a faint trace of yin qi coming out of his sick legs!
During the meal, I took the initiative to say to Zhong Laohan:
"Old man, I feel that there is something wrong with your legs, it seems to have a smell, not ordinary!"
"What does it smell, athlete's foot?"
Zhong Laohan said with a smile.
I shook my head softly, and said in a serious way:
"It's not athlete's foot, it's yin! Don't play dumb riddles with the boy, let's talk about how your leg hurt first! ”
Hearing this, Zhong Laohan's face also became serious.
Strange to say, according to his own description, the leg was just a fall, and at first it was painless and itchy, and he didn't take it seriously.
Unexpectedly, when I got out of bed the next day, I felt cold and stinging, a bit like a sign of old cold legs.
Later, he applied the boiled plaster for a few days, and although the stinging pain was relieved a lot, it was still inconvenient to move around.
Zhong Xiaoxuan was very worried about her grandfather's leg disease, and immediately said:
"Because of this, when I came back this time, I actually wanted to take him to the city hospital for a check-up. But grandpa is stubborn, if you have to say that it will be good with plasters! ”
"However, it has been a few days, and the leg disease is still not gone, and I am really afraid that it will leave the root of the disease."
I said thoughtfully:
"It stands to reason that rheumatism and cold legs are understandable to be plastered with a few plasters, but it is strange that just a fall caused such a big symptom, which must be different."
"Old man, if you believe me, let me help you look at your legs!"
After dinner, we went to the bedroom, and I asked Mr. Zhong to roll up his trouser legs.
I saw a plaster attached to the ankle, and it would be slightly painful to press it lightly.
I tore open the plaster and found that my ankle was a little swollen, so I took a copper coin out of my pocket and put it in the swollen area.
Strange to say, the cold touch of the copper coin made Zhong Laohan breathe a sigh of relief.
But after a while, I took off the copper coin, but found that the surface of the copper coin was faintly blackened.
Looking at the ankle again, a faint black handprint appeared.
It looks like a baby, but it only has four fingers, which is extremely weird.
Seeing this, Zhong Xiaoxuan covered her mouth in surprise, but her dodging gaze still exposed the fear in her heart.
"Sure enough, there is evil at work, where did you fall, old man?"
I asked in a deep voice.
Zhong Laohan recalled:
"It was on the bridge at the west entrance of the village, when I went up the mountain to collect medicine, it was almost midnight when I came back, and when I passed the bridge, somehow, my foot slipped as if someone deliberately tripped me, and then I fell."
I frowned slightly, and muttered to myself:
"Crossing the bridge and tripped inexplicably? Could it be that the water ghost is haunting and looking for a stand-in? But why didn't Zhong Laohan be killed immediately, but let him go? ”
I accidentally saw Zhong Laohan wrapped a belt tied with a red rope around his waist, which was woven with a vajra knot.
When asked about its origin, it turned out to be made by Zhong Laohan's deceased wife.
Older people generally prefer to use rope instead of a belt.
And Zhong Laohan's wife believed in Buddhism before his death, and braided a red rope for him as a belt with the technique of braiding a diamond knot.
I think it was precisely because of this belt that he saved Zhong Laohan's life at a critical moment.
"Good deeds are rewarded! This is also the old man, you have been blessed so much that you have escaped a catastrophe! ”
I sighed, then turned my head and said to Zhong Xiaoxuan, who was stunned on the side:
"By the way, Senior Sister Zhong, can you go and get me some millet, by the way, I am preparing a knife, and warm water, I want to prepare to treat the old man's leg disease."
