Looking at the dead silence of the clinic, I took a deep breath.

I first motioned for Xiaobai to put me off his back, and then glanced at him to make him smarter.

"Why is this happening? Lao Hu Mingming said not to worry, he can guarantee his safety. Xiao Bai's face instantly became gloomy.

Lao Hu is the only doctor in the clinic, he was a wandering langzhong back then, and he opened this clinic when he was older.

The two of us have a good relationship with Lao Hu, and he has helped us a lot before.

Xiaobai fled here last night, and it was only with the help of Lao Hu that he had a place to stay.

I glanced at Xiaobai, and I could see a deep look of worry in his eyes.

If something really happened to Lao Hu, Xiaobai would definitely be unhappy in his heart.

In the entire Haicheng City, Xiaobai has few friends, and Lao Hu is barely one.

I patted Xiaobai on the shoulder: "Calm down, let's go and have a look first, and be careful later." ”

Xiaobai nodded, walked in front with a straight face, carrying a steel pipe.

I followed closely behind, pulled out the bronze coin sword, and clutched it tightly in my hand.

The night was dark, and the clinic was blinded by the black lights, and I couldn't see my fingers.

We both held our breath and moved cautiously forward, occasionally shouting tentatively.

As soon as I walked into the clinic, I smelled a strong smell of medicinal herbs, which was pungent and not good.

Of course, there is a reason why it is said to be the smell of medicinal herbs, not the smell of medicine.

Lao Hu kept saying that he was an authentic Chinese medicine practitioner, the kind with a complete inheritance.

But most of the prescriptions he usually prescribes are home remedies tossed from the folk, and the medicinal materials are strange.

I took things like cinnabar, yellow paper, and black dog blood from Lao Hu, so I can imagine how peculiar the medicinal materials in his hands are.

It doesn't matter if the home remedies are the right prescriptions, the ones that can cure the disease are good prescriptions.

Lao Hu's medical skills are not said, he has a lot of experience in incurable diseases, and he may not be helpless if the hospital can't cure it.

"Whoa......

Xiaobai suddenly kicked something, and all kinds of medicinal herbs were scattered all over the ground.

Although we couldn't see the road clearly in the dark, Xiaobai and I were clear about the layout here.

Something will be kicked down, indicating that the furnishings in the clinic have been changed, or even have been in a mess.

I was more cautious, my nerves were tense all over my body, and someone secretly attacked me at any time.

As it turned out, I guessed correctly, and I turned on the lights as I remembered.

The room was full of light bulbs, only barely dim, and the others had been shattered.

With the light, I breathed a sigh of relief, at least not to continue to worry about it in the dark.

The clinic is in disarray, some of the furnishings have been badly damaged, and there is a high probability that there will be a big battle here.

After looking around, the two of us didn't see Lao Hu.

The only suspicious thing is the large pool of blood on the ground, I don't know if it was left by Lao Hu.

The atmosphere was very depressing, and Xiaobai and I were a little heavy.

The blood stains on the ground were shocking, if this was really left by Lao Hu, his situation was worrying.

"Ahh

A scream pierced the silence of the night, which seemed to be Lao Hu's voice.

The sound came from behind, and the two of us rushed towards the back without hesitation.

The clinic is not much bigger than my small shop, and there are two rooms in the back except for the front hall.

One is Lao Hu's bedroom, I don't know if the word "bedroom" is appropriate enough.

Lao Hu is very particular about personal hygiene, eating, drinking, and sleeping all in one room.

This point once made Xiaobai hate Lao Hu, and he resolutely refused to have close contact with Lao Hu.

The other room, which Lao Hu used for acupuncture and massage for patients, was very small and only had one bed in it.

Of course, with Lao Hu's lazy character, that ward would not be too clean.

Last night, Lao Hu originally planned to let Xiao Bai temporarily squeeze in the ward for a night, but Xiao Bai unceremoniously refused.

The bedroom lights were on, and the two of us rushed into Lao Hu's bedroom first.

The furnishings have not changed much, as sloppy as ever.

It's strange that Lao Hu is not here.

Xiaobai and I glanced at each other and slowly approached the door of the ward.

The door of the ward was closed, and Xiaobai kicked it open.

Immediately, a foul smell hit my face, and I almost fainted.

"Click!" Xiaobai turned on the light.

The scene in front of me made me and Xiaobai stunned at the same time.

Lao Hu was half-lying on the hospital bed shirtless, with his back against the wall, looking at the two of us with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Strangely, his body was covered in silver needles, and he looked like a hedgehog.

"Lao Hu, how are you?" Xiaobai rushed to the bed, but he was a little at a loss.

Lao Hu's current situation makes us both completely clueless.

I also know a little bit about medicine, and I used to learn a little bit about Chinese medicine from my grandfather.

Later, when I came into contact with Lao Hu, I was more or less exposed to it and mastered some things.

But I couldn't understand the path of the silver needle on Lao Hu's body at all, and I wasn't sure whether I should pull the silver needle out.

Judging from the technique of piercing the needles, those silver needles seem to have been pierced by Lao Hu himself.

However, acupuncture requires a good understanding of the acupoints, and piercing the wrong acupoints can have serious consequences.

The silver needles on Lao Hu's body are disorganized, and even the death hole has been pierced with needles, if ordinary people are tossed like this, I am afraid that if they don't die, they will lose half their lives.

"Lao Hu, what the hell is going on? What should I do? I asked anxiously.

Lao Hu looked weak, cheered up and whispered: "Write down the number of needle paths I have, I succeeded!" ”

I frowned: "What succeeded?" ”

"Don't ask, remember it! Moment of Truth...... Use it on your grandpa! Lao Hu suddenly became very serious.

Obviously, Lao Hu was already weak and couldn't say much.

Seeing him tell me so solemnly, my heart sank, and I didn't dare to slack off.

After roughly jotting down the position and technique of the needle on his body, he sighed again.

"It's broken, the inheritance of this vein is going to be broken in my hands!"

His eyes widened and he suddenly grabbed my hands.

I was about to speak, but he leaned over and closed his eyes.

"Lao Hu, what's wrong with you? Wake up! Xiaobai was a little anxious, but he didn't dare to move Lao Hu.

Lao Hu's hands were cold, I observed it carefully, and shook my head helplessly.

Xiaobai looked at me in a daze, with a look of disbelief: "Lao Hu is dead? Didn't he say he would live a hundred years? This old liar! ”

I can understand Xiaobai's mood at this moment, he must be very self-blaming.

I won't feel better than him in my heart, Lao Hu should be affected by us.

Lao Hu once joked with us, saying that he would live a hundred years old, and maybe he would send the two white-haired people to the black-haired people.

At that time, Xiaobai and I were dismissive, laughing and scolding him for not waiting for that day.

Looking back on it now, I feel very uncomfortable.

"Calm down, Lao Hu has no relatives, let's handle the aftermath and send him to the end." I sighed.

Xiaobai's eyes were a little red, and he nodded silently.

Both of us were very depressed in our hearts, and silently helped Lao Hu tidy up his remains.

No matter how urgent the situation is, I can't let Lao Hu just lie here in a slightly embarrassed way.

When I helped Lao Hu pull out the silver needle on his body, I remembered the position and technique of his needle again.

I wondered in my heart, the old nonsense said that this set of needles can be used on my grandfather at a critical moment?

He was about the same age as my grandfather, but there was no intersection between the two, and I rarely talked about my grandfather to Lao Hu.

Although I didn't quite understand what Lao Hu meant, I still firmly remembered his last words.

At the same time, I also found another problem, the time of Lao Hu's death is a bit strange.

When he pulled out the needle, his body was stiff, and there was not a trace of heat in his body.

Under normal circumstances, when a person has just died, the body still has body temperature, and it takes a while for the body to stiffen.

I didn't tell Xiaobai about this, but I kept an eye on it secretly.

Then Xiaobai went to Lao Hu's room and rummaged through it, and found a dilapidated box under the bed.

In the box was a book and a shroud.

"Keep this medical book and pass it on to those who are destined. The shroud is ready, this is the style I like, sloppy for a lifetime, let me walk cleaner. I'll leave everything else to you two little ones, help me choose a good cemetery, and send me a roast chicken and some good wine when I have time." ”

There is also a small note in the box, which is Lao Hu's handwriting, and his handwriting is like a chicken scratching, which is absolutely good.

When reading this suicide note, Lao Hu's voice and smile came to mind again.

I have seen life and death many times, but it is the first time I have such a deep feeling, Lao Hu is really gone.

I put away the medical books left by Lao Hu, I am self-aware, and I am definitely not the "destined person" in Lao Hu's mouth.

Actually, I really don't have much interest in medical skills, let alone any talent, so I won't spoil his inheritance.

After Xiaobai and I helped Lao Hu put on his longevity clothes, we called the funeral home and asked them to pick up Lao Hu's body.

For the time being, the danger of the two of us has not been lifted, so we can only wait until we survive this crisis to help Lao Hu hold a funeral.

"Actually, Lao Hu dresses up well, he is not so sloppy, and he is also a handsome old man." Xiaobai looked at Lao Hu's remains and squeezed out a smile.

I nodded, Xiaobai didn't say nonsense, Lao Hu must have been a handsome guy when he was young.

In the past, Lao Hu boasted to the two of us that he was particularly attractive back then, and wherever he went, there would be big girls and little daughters-in-law peeking at him.

Of course, the two of us have no way of knowing the truth, only that he has been single all his life, and maybe he is also a person with a story.

But who knows his story, and how many people will remember him in the future?

People die like lights go out, and no matter how colorful the experience of a life is, it will eventually be lost in the long river of time.

"When I die, you can help me get dressed up. Even in the underworld, I am still handsome and chic, and the jade tree is in the wind, maybe I can seduce a few beautiful female ghosts. Xiaobai said with a smile.

My heart trembled and I stared at him for a few seconds: "What do you mean?" ”

This mentality of his made me very uncomfortable, and I had to think again about getting rid of him and keeping him out of the crisis.

The smile on Xiaobai's face gradually froze, and his tone became very cold: "Don't worry, I'm talking about the future." I don't want to die yet, some guy owes us one life, and I'm going to pay it back with ten lives! ”

As soon as the words fell, a gust of wind hit, and I couldn't help but shiver.

"Smack!" The light bulb in the room exploded.

"When did you become so cowardly, what are you dragging me for? Let go, I'm going to fall! Xiaobai muttered casually.

I suddenly had a bad premonition in my heart, I stood there and didn't move, and I didn't reach out to pull him!

The next second, a big cold hand grabbed my arm.
