Chapter 9: The Strange Binge Eating Disorder

I have seen Professor Sun's daughter Hanxiang, tall and beautiful, a typical Sichuan-Chongqing girl, a senior white-collar worker in a large private company at home, and a lot of boys chasing her around, but none of them can catch the eye - I remember that Professor Sun had the idea of accepting me as a son-in-law back then, but I was born with her to be incompatible, and I had no feelings for chatting, and in the end I only became ordinary friends.

In the past six months, a boy suddenly appeared next to Sun Hanxiang, tall and handsome, not to mention, he was unusually careful about girls, as the saying goes, beauties are afraid of Lai Hanmo, not to mention that he is still such a handsome and delicate young man, and the two began to have a formal relationship.

Ten days ago, Sun Hanxiang took the young man Ma Haoyu home for dinner, and officially introduced it, Professor Sun thought it was okay, so he didn't express any opinions, saying that the family didn't plan to interfere with Hanxiang's marriage, and they planned to fall in love and get married, and the meal ended happily.

It's only been five or six days since this incident, but Sun Hanxiang disappeared inexplicably.

Sun Hanxiang's familiar colleague came to the house to find Professor Sun, saying that Hanxiang had not been to work for two days, and the phone could not be reached, so he came to the house to see, Professor Sun hurriedly contacted Ma Haoyu, who knew that this young man was also missing for two days, in a hurry, Professor Sun immediately called the police.

The police took over the investigation and found his and Hanxiang's coats, handbags, wallets and other items in Ma Haoyu's rental room, which were identified by friends and colleagues as the two people who were wearing before the disappearance, so they used this place as a crime scene and searched carefully, but found nothing.

The only thing I found was a small bottle in the kitchen cupboard, which was soaked in half a bottle of strange black mushrooms, which was so rotten that it all fell apart with a slight shake and turned into a bottle of mud.

The investigation is in a difficult situation, and the police can only register the case and ask the police in Ma Haoyu's hometown for help, hoping that they can help obtain information... Unexpectedly, three days later, the two of them inexplicably appeared.

A night taxi driver who was passing through a demolition area saw the two men unconscious, so he called the police and took them to the hospital - this was just the beginning, and then something stranger happened!

They are in a coma most of the time every day, once they wake up, they eat desperately, eat alive, especially like to eat meat, whether they eat raw or cooked fatty meat, whether they eat and chew wildly, they know what they are doing, they know people and remember things, even the mathematics and English they have learned are not bad, but they have forgotten everything that happened in the past few days.

This eating state was by no means abnormal, Professor Sun thought that they were caused by some kind of imbalance, so he conducted an examination, and found some strange substance in the blood sample, which is not recorded in scientific literature or research materials, and the sample was sent to other hospitals for help, but also received no response.

At the same time, the bodies of the two people became fat like balloons, and the speed was jaw-dropping, and by the time Professor Sun came to me for help, they had already weighed more than two hundred, and their skin and muscles were full of body fluids, not to mention shiny and swollen, and even countless thin layers and gaps appeared because of the rapid growth rate, constantly oozing outward.

At this point, Professor Sun finally remembered me...

Professor Sun almost finished speaking with old tears in his eyes, and at the end, he looked at me with a look that was almost pleading, and his lips trembled twice before he said sadly: "Enron, Hanxiang... Han Xiang's life is complete... It's all up to you...""Don't worry, I'll get her back!" I nodded heavily and patted him on the shoulder, "Without further ado, I'll go see how they're doing now." ”

When we came to the ward, Han Xiang was in a coma, her stomach was high and bulging under the sheets, her body was swollen and swollen so badly, her exposed thighs had exceeded my waist circumference of two feet three, her tentacles were hot and almost transparent, and the green veins underneath were visible, similar to seeing things through layers of foggy glass.

The sheets were a little moist, because she was constantly oozing fluid, and the yellowish bodily fluids were waving in the air, filling the whole room with a faint sweet fragrance, and people couldn't help but want to take a bite - this desire was not strong, but it could not be contained, as if something in the depths of the soul had been stirred up...

"Not good!" I immediately reached out and pushed open the window, letting the night breeze blow in, and as the sweet fragrance gradually diluted, the impatience gradually calmed down. I turned to Professor Sun and instructed, "Keep ventilation 24 hours a day, change the bed sheets frequently, and don't let this liquid become rich, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable." ”

"We've done our best," Professor Sun explains, "and as soon as they wake up, we change the sheets, but we still can't avoid the smell... Any questions? ”

"You didn't notice?" I wondered, "You don't usually spend much time in the ward, do you?" ”

"It's not too much, I spend most of my time in the research room," Professor Sun also remembered when I mentioned this: "I'm a doctor, and every time I come, I first help Hanxiang and them open the window for ventilation, and at the same time, the time is not too long..." My heart moved, "Those people here are usually taking care of them?" ”

"This is not an inpatient department, but a ward in our laboratory, so generally speaking, a few of my students are taking care of them," Professor Sun gradually thought about when I asked strangely: "By the way, they seem to be very keen on taking care of patients lately, and sometimes they don't even care much about research topics..."

"I'll take a look!"

According to Professor Sun's introduction, he led a group of three men, four women and seven doctors, except for Chen Peng, who is also his assistant, the other six people take turns to take care of patients, including infusion injections and wiping the body, now two people are guarding in the duty room, and the other four go back to the dormitory to rest.

I didn't go in, but I first looked outside for a while, and found that only the male doctor was on duty in the room, but the female doctor was nowhere to be seen, but there was some noise from inside—Professor Sun approached me and whispered in his ear, "She should be inside." ”

Sure enough, in less than a moment, the female doctor walked out of it, still holding two big lunch boxes in her hands, it looked like it should be a supper, and I couldn't see it clearly from a distance, so I simply walked in, accompanied by Professor Sun, pretending to understand Hanxiang's situation, and chatted by the way.

After a few words on the side, I pulled the topic to the lunch box as I spoke: "It smells so good!" Is it a late-night supper? "Yes," the female doctor smiled and nodded, "I don't know what's wrong lately, I'm very hungry, and I like to eat meat, so we bought some cooked food with a meal." ”

"As the workload increases, the amount of food will naturally increase, which is normal," I said deliberately: "I was too busy some time ago, and I can eat very well, and I can't eat without meat... By the way, did you start caring for patients recently? ”

"Yes, yes, it's the same as yours, taking care of them starts to have a lot of appetite," the male doctor also responded with a smile: "It's incredible, I can eat two elbows in one meal!" ”

"If you're hungry, eat more, and eat more to have strength." I patted the male doctor on the shoulder, said goodbye, and immediately got out of the house to ask him to call the caretaker of the doctor's quarters and ask what the four doctors were doing—as I had guessed, they were now getting together for a meal, and the soup was full of meat.

I sighed deeply, and I had a rough idea in my heart, and I was going to go and find a few things overnight and come back, and try them one by one, and I could always find something useful, right? After solving the matter in front of you, let's see if you can find a way to cure Hanxiang.

Before leaving, I explained two things to Professor Sun: first, replace Ma Haoyu and Sun Hanxiang with waterbeds for treating burn patients, wash them with water at any time, and keep the windows open to reduce the time everyone spends in the house; Second, in the past few days, they have been given more food every day, and there is no need for anything else, just boiling white meat in a hot pot with clear water, and the amount is enough, and at the same time letting them stay in the duty room, and they must not let the six of them see blood, that is, eat raw meat.

As for the reason for this, I didn't say, and Professor Sun didn't ask, he didn't want to be interfered with by my theory in his so-called scientific research, but he had to follow my instructions, which is indeed a very tangled matter...

After leaving, I quickly drove towards Qingcheng Mountain.

According to my train of thought, although this situation is strange, after all, gluttony belongs to one of the karmic obstacles of the Hungry Ghost Dao, and the reasons are different, but among the thirty-six hungry ghosts, whether it is karma, karma, or fetal interest, there is always a way to deal with it, as long as I try to find them one by one, I can always find out where they belong.

It's just that it's a bit of a hassle.

Qingcheng Mountain is not close to Shu, I arrived at the mountain gate after twelve o'clock, and then drove all the way to a small street not far from Puzhao Temple, which has now been all developed into a tourist resort and a gathering place for eating and lodging, I went all the way around the end of the street, and then stopped and knocked on a seemingly dilapidated small hall.

The hall is a place for lay people and believers to eat, not as beautiful as the restaurants and hostels outside, coarse rice and rough vegetables, almost no oil beads, and the seasoning is just simple salt and chili peppers, nothing else, but the price is cheap and affordable, and the nearby rural believers will only eat this.

After knocking for a long time, an old voice responded from inside the door: "It's so late, who?" ”

"Granny Li, it's me, Enron!" I called back, "I'm really sorry to bother me so late, but I beg your pardon, for the sake of seven or eight lives, I have to find a large number of 'Fugen' and 'Three Inch Golden Nails', I hope you can help me." ”

There was a creaking sound, and the white-haired Granny Li had already opened the door, and she exclaimed, "How could such a big thing happen?" Seven or eight people, oh my God, it's too many! She leaned sideways and let me in the door: "By the way, do you need incense ash and condensation tears in front of the Buddha?" ”

"Not for now," I frowned, "These two things are rare and precious, but they just happen to be right, so I only need Fugen and a three-inch gold nail." "What's the matter with the Hungry Ghost Road?" Granny Li has been fasting for decades, but she can be regarded as an understanding person: "Okay, I'll find it for you." ”

There are several kinds of incense to worship the immortal Buddha, among them, there is a kind of incense that is composed of fragrant bones and fragrant meat, the bamboo skewer is evenly wrapped in sticky incense powder on the bamboo skewer after being dipped in water, and after the worship is completed in front of the Buddha, the remaining three inches of pure incense bone is called 'three inches of golden nails'.

Many temples have the habit of offering longevity lamps and prayer lamps for people, from ancient times to the present, the lotus lamp bowl made of pure copper is filled with sesame oil, add the wick to light and then worship the Buddha, paste the red paper with the name of the person who prays for the blessing, and wait until the end of the time of worship, these lamp oil and red paper are collected into a pile, all used to give alms to the hungry ghosts in the underworld in ancient times, to relieve the pain, and it can be regarded as a manifestation of the compassion of the Buddha, this thing is called 'Fugen'.

As for the other two things mentioned by Granny Li, they are specially used to deal with evil ghosts, and the clumsy work "The Reappearance of Gods and Ghosts" has been explained in detail, so I will not repeat them here.

Granny Li took me around several nearby temples, and finally gathered a large bucket of Fugen and two plastic bags of three-inch gold nails, and I didn't dare to stay longer, so I immediately rushed towards Mount Emei after saying goodbye.

While it's dawn, I'll have to try my luck and see if I can get the soup today.
