Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Flood

I didn't dare to move a little, so I took a closer look at the house, and after my eyes adjusted to the darkness, I could see that this was a more traditional suite, and the middle one was a hall room, with tables and chairs and other similar furnishings to the living room, and there was an inner room on the left and right, separated by a small moon door, and the curtains were half hung down, so that I couldn't see the situation inside.

Listening to the cry again, it seemed to come from the Westinghouse, although it was a little faint, but it could be heard whimpering very miserably. In addition to the crying, there is also an intermittent, faint coughing sound.

I crept to the front of the West House, lifted the curtain through a crack, leaned over and looked inside, the room seemed to be quite large, there was no candle light, and I couldn't see any figure from this angle, and I couldn't figure out where the sound was coming from.

Whatever the case may be, there is no way to act in such darkness, you have to get the light first. When I turned back to the hall, I saw that there was a candle on the table in the middle, and there was a tool for lighting the fire next to it.

I knelt on the chair with one leg, hunched over and leaned over to light the candlestick, and just wanted to reach out to pick up the whole candlestick, when I suddenly felt a yin qi coming straight behind me, which was considered to have been tested for a long time, so I quickly turned to one side without hesitation and jumped away.

When I looked back again, sure enough, there was a person standing at the door of the West House, dressed in white, with long hair and a shawl, covering his face with his sleeves, full of female ghost appearance!

I was shocked in my heart, and subconsciously wanted to run away from the door, but the female ghost asked, "Who are you?" The voice was soft and tactful. There is no murderous aura at all, just nervousness and fear.

Then I remembered that I was actually an intruder to her, and it was really inappropriate to talk like that. Besides, it doesn't matter if it's a human or a ghost. As long as she's willing to talk, it's always right to talk first.

At the moment, he put away his defensive posture, stood up straight, bowed his hand, and bowed: "My name is Tao Yong, and I came to see you." You're Miss Lemei, aren't you? ”

"Well," she replied, and asked strangely, "Tao Yong." Are you a doctor? ”

I didn't expect her to ask that, and replied a little hastily, "Well, yes...... Right. ”

"I didn't expect it...... I'll be coming to see ...... doctor," she said as if talking to herself. As he spoke, he walked over to the table and sat down. The candlelight shone on her face, and although most of it was covered by her sleeves, her beautiful eyes could be seen. Although it became red and swollen from tears. The eyes are full of melancholy, and I can still see that she is definitely a beauty.

What's more, her eye waves sparkled in the beating candlelight, which was a manifestation of the overflow of human yang energy, this girl was definitely not from the ghost!

After muttering a few words to herself, she seemed to be sad again, and tears fell into her eyes again. His shoulders fluttered with sobbing.

The most fearful thing about me in life is that a woman will cry, and she will cry like this. I immediately started to feel at a loss, and I didn't know what to say.

"Uh, Miss Lemei, you...... Is there anything uncomfortable? "I wanted to break the deadlock, so I just followed her words and asked.

She also seemed to realize my embarrassment, wiped her tears lightly with the corner of her sleeve, lowered her arm, and looked up at me.

When I saw her face clearly, I was shocked!

I saw that this face was already seriously swollen, the face was much bigger than ordinary people, the facial features were squeezed in the middle by the swollen face, which looked extremely incongruous, plus the face was pale, and there were serious eye bags under the eyes, if it weren't for the fact that the eyes were still a little bright, it was like a drowned corpse!

Because of the nature of my work, I have seen countless terrible faces, but after all, it is the first time to be alone with such a person in the dark, and I really can't help it!

This is...... Water sickness, severe water sickness.

Western science has always said that more than 70% of the human body is water, but this water basically refers to the chemical H2O, which has no special meaning. The belief that people are made of water in Chinese medicine is not such a simple meaning.

The "water" mentioned in traditional Chinese medicine does not specifically refer to a certain liquid, but refers to a fluid form of substance, and when it is manifested in the human body, most of it is not a liquid, but a state of partial gas. The human body has temperature, and the nature of warm qi is to rise, so it will give the human body some similar "buoyancy" and upward power.

There is an interesting phenomenon that can be corroborated by this, that is, a rice bag of the same weight and a person, when carrying rice, will feel extremely heavy, and when carrying people, it will feel lighter. It is because the gaseous "water" in the human body invisibly provides the reason for the "buoyancy".

The organ that keeps this "water" circulating in the body in a form close to gaseous is the kidney. After a person dies, the kidneys no longer continue to work, and the gaseous water will slowly condense and no longer provide "buoyancy", so the dead are much heavier than the living.

"Swelling" is a manifestation of severe problems with the kidneys when a person is not dead, and the gaseous water is seriously liquefied, unable to circulate normally, and is clogged in various parts of the body.

As the saying goes: men are afraid of swollen feet, and women are afraid of swollen heads. The girl's face was swollen like this, and it was already at a very serious stage of water disease. The bags under the eyes are also a sign that the kidneys are overwhelmed.

No wonder this girl asked me if I was a doctor, because she knew how serious her illness was. Just by looking at the clinic, I already feel that her illness is quite unoptimistic.

At that time, a thought flashed through my mind: Why was such a seriously ill girl locked in the deep palace? Is it just for us to be the goal of some competition?

This competition is also ridiculous, what is cowardice, where is this evil, it is obviously a disease!

But if it's evil, I don't have the ability to help her dispel it, but if it's sick, it's not impossible to try.

The girl looked at me and looked at her in a daze, did not speak, looked a little nervous, and asked, "Is my face so terrible that it scares you?" As soon as the words came out, the circles under his eyes were red again, as if he was about to cry again.

I quickly waved my hand and said, "No, no, no, I'm just diagnosing your condition." ”

"That'...... What do you think? She asked timidly.

"This ......" Before I could reply, she sighed deeply and interrupted me, "Actually, I don't have much hope anymore, I have no intention of getting out alive after coming to this place." I was just...... I don't want to die so ugly......" The voice was full of sadness.

My heart moved and I asked, "What is this...... Where? ”

She looked at me suspiciously, and said, "Don't you know?" ”

I shook my head and said, "To be honest, I just followed the little eunuch, this palace is so big, I really don't know where I went......"

"This is the cold palace." She said. (To be continued.) )
