Chapter 3: Pandora's Box
The woman looked at our reaction and understood what it meant, she pointed to the statue and said, "This is my husband, who died three months ago, and after he died, the child became ill, and went to three hospitals, and I found many doctors who couldn't see it well." ”
She was widowed and sick, and when she said this, she couldn't restrain herself, covered her mouth and began to cry.
This woman's voice is still a little sharp, and crying makes my heart feel uncomfortable. I said in my heart that I thought she didn't look for a doctor, but now I look at it, it's not that she didn't look for it, but that after three months of searching, the doctors are helpless, so why is her son so sick?
Pan Zi was the first to speak, and he also deliberately raised his voice, and "roared" at the woman, "I said, old sister, you take us to see your son, don't let us stand here to admire the remains, which one is more important, haven't you counted?" ”
The woman also reacted, and Lian Xingguan was right, and took us to another room, pointing to the bed for us to see.
I found that this woman has a lot of personality, and this room is connected to the room where the portrait is placed by a door, so I am not afraid of getting into evil spirits. And on this bed lay her son.
This kid is only seven or eight years old, I don't know what he was like before he was sick, anyway, now he is so thin that he can barely see the human form, and the whole thing is a skeleton frame full of skin and bones.
This is nothing, a large bruise on his head is black, it doesn't look like blood, it should be caused by the slow fading of his skin, and he closed his eyes tightly, he didn't realize that an outsider was coming, and his lips were trembling, looking very uncomfortable.
I thought to myself, what the hell is this? Why does it look so weird? I had a guess and asked Ah Feng, "This kid is poisoned, right?" ”
Lu Yufeng didn't rush to answer me, he sat down next to the child, took off the child's pants, and poked his fingers at his thigh.
By the time he retracted his fingers, the child had a pit in his leg and was visibly edematous. And he is already so thin and edema, which is very revealing.
Lu Yufeng stared at me and Pan Zi, in fact, he was just thinking about things, and looked at us unintentionally. We didn't have any good advice, so we had to shut up, and then the room was cold.
The woman kept glancing at us, her mouth moved several times, she wanted to ask, and she was afraid of disturbing the work of the star officer, so she forcibly held back.
After a while, Lu Yufeng had an idea and said, "This kid needs an infusion, you find a hanger and I'll dispense the medicine." ”
I did as he told me to do it, but I was confused, because the infusion needed saline, where are we going to get this thing.
But when Pan Zi and I came back with the hanger, Ah Feng was taking out some medicine from his bag, including a small bag of saline, of course.
I'm convinced, he's a special informant's backpack, even if it's for travel, he has to carry these things.
There is no instruction manual for this medicine, and I don't know what it is, anyway, Lu Yufeng found a table, and he was busy, and it didn't take long to prepare it.
We were given an infusion at his house, and we waited next to the boy for fear of adverse reactions.
We talked for a while, and then brought the conversation back to the woman.
Lu Yufeng said, "Sister, take the liberty of asking, can you tell me in detail about the child's illness and your husband's death?" ”
The woman watched the star official's question, but she didn't dare not answer, she choked up and chatted with us.
Her husband, who works as an editor at the town's newspaper, brought back a box five years ago and said it was a Pandora's box that the family must not open or there would be disaster. She also took her husband's words to heart, and even put the box on top of the cabinet so that the child could not touch it.
One day three and a half months ago, when she returned from her parents' house with her children, she found her husband Tie Qing sitting on the bed with a face, and the box had been opened. She was stunned and asked her husband what was wrong. But the husband didn't say anything, and put the box back on the cupboard.
Originally, she was worried for a while, thinking that the box would make the house evil, but then she didn't see anything strange happening, so she gradually forgot about it. Until one afternoon three months ago, someone in the town said that his husband and children had fallen into a well, and she hurried over, but when she rescued him, his husband was already dead, and he was very strangely red, and the child was fine, and he was a little unsane. She thought that the child was scared, and her husband had just died, so she focused on dealing with the aftermath.
But as soon as the funeral was over, the child became seriously ill, thinner and thinner day by day, and more serious day by day, and we will know what happened later.
She said for a long time, and when I finished listening, I felt a little blocked in my heart, sympathizing with what happened to this old lady.
Lu Yufeng comforted her a few words, and then asked her, "I see that you have always thought that it is the problem of Pandora's box, can you take out that box and show it to me?" ”
The woman nodded, moved a stool, and stood by the cabinet to remove the box.
This box is black, the size of a book, if it weren't for the presence of the three of us "star officials", she would have screamed in fright when she touched this box, so when she handed it to Lu Yufeng, her hand was still a little shaky.
Lu Yufeng didn't believe this, and he wasn't afraid at all. Pan Zi's face was very strange, and he fed it.
The meaning of his voice was obvious, if this box was really weird, wouldn't we be asking for trouble if we opened it?
But Lu Yufeng said to Pan Zi, "Let's take a look at the secret in the box, if it is really related to the child's illness, we can also prescribe the right medicine." ”
I nodded approvingly. Lu Yufeng slowly opened the box again.
I originally totaled what could be contained in this big and small box, but I never thought that it was a Xinhua dictionary inside.
Pan Zi was a little out of breath, but when he saw the situation inside, he was happy again, pointed and said, "If a dictionary is Pandora's box, then this kind of box in this world is a sea." ”
Lu Yufeng was very serious, he took out the dictionary and flipped through it. I watched from the sidelines, I didn't see anything, but Lu Yufeng suddenly frowned.
Then he put the dictionary back and asked the woman to put it away.
The woman was very obedient, we talked about something else, and when the child finished the infusion, she took us to another tiled house to rest.
There is still a kang in this tiled house, and we are not the kind of delicate people, so we thanked her and freshened up.
We were already tired after a day of tossing, and we turned off the lights after lying down.
But in the middle of the night, the woman banged on the door, waking us up. Lu Yufeng was closest to the door, he got off the kang with his clothes on, opened the door and asked what's wrong?
The woman cried when she saw Ah Feng, and said, "Lord Xingguan, it's not good, my child is in a very bad condition, if you don't go to take a look, I'm afraid he won't survive until dawn." ”
When I heard this, I was anxious, and I said in my heart that there was a problem with Ah Feng's infusion, which not only did not cure the disease, but worsened the condition?
I just want to beckon Pan Zi to go down to the kang and go over with Ah Feng to have a look. Ah Feng couldn't stop the two of us, let us continue to sleep, and he could go by himself.
Although I was a little reluctant, but all together, how could we help? We're just star officials with false names.
When Ah Feng left, I didn't have the heart to sleep, and I deliberately left the light, and I would come back later to ask him how he was.
It is estimated that after half an hour, Ah Feng came back in a hurry, but he didn't talk to me and took out a syringe from his bag.
This syringe contains milky white liquid, I chuckled in my heart, and said that this thing is not good and it is a heart booster or something, and Ah Feng can't save people like this, right? In the short term, it can make the child feel better, but what should I do after the medicine?
Before I could say anything to him, he swooped out again.
When he came back again, the milky white elixir was gone, and the needle was filled with red blood.
Seeing what this meant, Ah Feng drew blood for the child again. I didn't understand why he was doing this, so I asked him.
Lu Yufeng sat down against the edge of the kang and said to me with a wry smile, "I'm a half-person in pharmacology, if only Li Feng's wife were here, she is a drug expert." ”
I only know that Li Feng is a policeman, and he has been in contact for so long, and I haven't heard him say anything about his daughter-in-law, how can I hear Ah Feng say this, his daughter-in-law is still a very good character?
I really wanted to take the opportunity to ask about Li Feng's daughter-in-law, but at this time, I reacted to another thing, and it scared me out of a cold sweat.
I asked Ah Feng tentatively, "Brother! Then will you see a doctor? ”
