Chapter 3 Chu Ying draws her gun
I looked at the second uncle and almost completely believed the words of the toad - he was right, the four people who were poisoned at the same time, except for two deaths, the seventh master and the cloth bag monk were alive and well. Ge Wei died unexpectedly, and it is very likely that his father Gu Wenzhong did not die of premature aging as we think!
"Where did you get poisoned?" The second uncle was silent for a while before opening his mouth to ask.
"Actually, Gu Wenzhong was also puzzled at first." Toad continued: "After he knew that the Gu family had premature aging, he was looking for a prescription that could inhibit or even cure, and at that time, we had only known each other for a few years. The poison on my body was not inflicted on me during the treasure hunt and tomb robbery, but by others. ”
"Oh?!" My second uncle and I were stunned again, we didn't expect that this toad would hide so many secrets related to our Gu family.
"Who's ordered?" I saw that the second uncle's mouth moved twice, and he didn't say anything, and I was shocked for a moment, and I thought of one of the possibilities, so I frowned and glared at the toad and asked.
"Gu Wenzhong." The toad said word by word, his face was still the same, as if he was talking about someone who had nothing to do with him.
Sure enough, it was the possibility I thought, and I was stunned, not knowing what to say.
"As you may have guessed, Gu Wenzhong was looking for a prescription for Progeria at the time." The toad snuffed out the cigarette butt and threw it in the ashtray: "However, there is no suitable one in the ancient books, so Gu Wenzhong searched for famous experts, rummaged through all the ancient medical skills, and found all the prescriptions related to the treatment of premature aging, hoping to find a suitable pair of all the medicinal materials in it." Not to mention, the hard work paid off, a few years later, Gu Wenzhong really extracted a new recipe from these prescriptions, and after conducting animal experiments, it was found that it has a strong inhibitory effect on the phenomenon of premature aging! But when it came time to conduct human experiments, he hesitated......"
Obediently, at this point, my second uncle and I can think of the result, and we can't help but have a trace of respect for the toad in our hearts......
"So, this bastard actually scolded me, saying that it was a great tonic of Chinese medicine, you know, I like women, and I have known Gu Wenzhong for so many years, I didn't even think about it, I took it and drank it!" The toad had a self-deprecating look on his face, as if he was talking about other people's affairs: "As a result, within a few days, I found that my body began to change, and this kind of abscess began to grow all over my body. Originally, people called me 'toad' because my hands were like a toad's tongue, fast and cruel, and disgusting, but then I became my appearance......"
"So, what else has changed besides the appearance?" The second uncle asked softly.
I glanced at the second uncle and saw that his face was grim, and it seemed that he had a great interest in this matter.
"At first, I thought it was an endocrine disorder, or a toxin in my body." The toad sneered and said, "Unexpectedly, after more than a year, I really couldn't help but go to the hospital for an examination, but I found a strange disease." This strange disease can only fight poison with poison, and in order to be able to live, I have done many dirty things over the years. But after so many years, I found that it was difficult to maintain my physical condition by using the side door, and if I didn't fight poison with poison, I would not have a few days to live......
Dirty things? I looked at my second uncle and didn't understand what the toad said.
"If you guessed correctly, the so-called fighting poison with poison, that flavor of poison, refers to the Sun Moon Lotus, right?" The second uncle unscrewed the wine gourd, took a sip of wine, and asked with a mouthful of wine.
"That's right." The toad nodded: "Later, when I looked for Gu Wenzhong, I learned from his mouth that the medicine that tasted great at that time was the prescription he found, and he experimented on animals many times, and all of them were successful." However, the medicine he had experimented on animals was only lacking the Sun Moon Lotus, because he couldn't find it at that time, so there was no way. Later, when he saw that the animal experiment was very successful, he felt that there might be no problem without Sun Moon Lotus, but he didn't dare to try, so he deceived me! The only thing that can cure the poison in my body is the complete Chinese medicine with the Sun Moon Lotus! The dirty things I have done can only be maintained, not cured. Now, it's hard to maintain. ”
I frowned, thinking to myself that in that Chinese medicine, except for the Sun Moon Lotus, the rest of the medicinal materials must also be very precious, and the "dirty" thing that the toad said should have stolen a lot of other medicinal materials to maintain his body.
The second uncle nodded: "Hmm...... So, you didn't find the Sun Moon Lotus, it ...... for you"
"It's a catastrophe!" The toad took the stubble over and said hatefully.
"However, we can't hand over the Sun Moon Lotus to you......" The second uncle put on a very embarrassed look: "Actually, after thinking about it, you'd better go to Chai Lao Wu and them." ”
"Huh!" The toad sneered, and a pair of bulging bloodshot eyes looked at me and the second uncle: "You two, don't you want to know, why am I still sitting here like last time, and talking to you about the conditions?!" ”
Well?! I was startled with the second uncle, and the second uncle's eyes rolled, but he couldn't catch any clues: "That's it, the Ming people don't say dark words, you just say it!" ”
"Good! The second master's cheerful personality is very similar to Gu Wenzhong! The toad said and bowed forward, squinted at us, and whispered, "Didn't you think about it, since I was able to drink that bowl of medicine, didn't I get the prescription that was not a secret between me and Gu Wenzhong at that time?!" ”
Wow!
As soon as these words came out, my second uncle and I were stunned: we never thought that the killer feature of the toad turned out to be that prescription! In fact, when the toad spoke just now, we should have thought of it. He said that he wanted to make up for the Sun Moon Lotus to fight poison with poison, and he naturally had that prescription in his hand!
However, if we really exchange the Sun Moon Lotus for a prescription, wouldn't we still have nothing to gain, and we could only look at Fang and sigh?! One for one, we still lack the same!
"With a prescription, we can find Sun Moon Lotus again." The second uncle stroked the wine gourd and muttered: "But if only Sun Moon Lotus has no prescription, it will be more difficult for us." Let's do it, Brother Toad, give us a period of time to think about it, there are still ten days before the beginning of autumn, and after Xu Zeming's matter, our uncle and nephew will give you a final answer, how about it? ”
The toad's eyes rolled twice, nodded and said, "It's okay, I can still wait for more than ten days." Hey, but I want to ask, how do you stop Xu Zeming from being buried alive? ”
The second uncle smiled bitterly: "I don't know, this matter, it is estimated that we can't stop it, that Tai Chi Halo is one of the ten secret realms, there are too many people who covet it, there should be someone who will stop Xu Zeming before us." We're just going to see the excitement, and if no one stops us, we'll go again. ”
I turned my head to look at the second uncle: "Second uncle, why do I think you have forgotten one thing, that old general, now that he is in good health, can he let his son Xu Zeming bury his own flesh alive?" ”
The second uncle glanced at me and asked, "Before, did you think that Zauhar died there?" ”
I was stunned for a moment, and I stopped talking.
The toad shrugged his shoulders and got up to leave, but before he could speak, he heard the door of the store being pushed open again, and a slender figure walked in, I hurriedly got up and greeted him: "Girl, why are you here?" I ......"
Before I finished speaking, I froze: Chu Ying, who was wearing a summer police uniform in front of me, wore a ponytail, and still looked neat and chic, but that pretty face was full of gloom, and those red eyes clearly showed that she had cried.
The second uncle also noticed that something was wrong and stood up - Chu Ying, this girl grew up with me since she was a child, and she also grew up under the watchful eyes of the second uncle, she has not admitted defeat since she was a child, and she has a female temperament, even stronger than many boys, and can make her cry like this, but it really shocks me a little in my heart.
"Girl, you, what's wrong with you?!" I stepped forward, reached out to take her hand, and asked softly.
At the end of June, it was already very hot in Jinan, the temperature outside was about 356 degrees, the sun was shining, and it would be hot and sweaty within five minutes of standing outside. However, Chu Ying's hand was extremely cold, as if it had just walked in from the cold winter.
"Gu Rui......" Chu Ying pouted, the pair of crying red apricot eyes were about to shed tears, but the cold light flashed, and a forward stabbing step jumped directly behind me, I hurriedly turned my head to look, and saw that Chu Ying actually took out a pistol and pointed at the toad standing three steps away, the cold was overwhelming!
My second uncle and I are stupid, we have been running an antique shop for so many years, and we have never seen anyone pull out a gun in our shop, and they are still our acquaintances!
"This ......" The toad raised his hands innocently and looked at me and the second uncle: "Why is this?!" ”
The second uncle smiled bitterly: "Girl Chu, what's wrong with you?" This is our friend, although his hands and feet are not clean, but he has never done anything to kill people and set fires, if possible, please let him go in our Gu family store. ”
Burst!
I almost laughed out loud when I heard what the second uncle said, but the atmosphere was really serious, and I hurriedly held back: The second uncle is really bad, I want Chu Ying to release a toad in our store, that is to say, as long as you leave the Gu family's store, you will kill him with one shot, and we will not say anything.
Sure enough, the toad almost cried when he heard this, glanced at the second uncle with a sad face, and was just about to speak, when I heard a "bang" gunshot, I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and instinctively bowed down......
