Hearing what the hall brother said, the hook-nosed man let out an "oh", his eyes did not look at his son, and said lightly: "Why is it so late?" ”

The hall brother hesitated for a moment and said, "There were some forks on the way, but they were all solved smoothly." ”

The hooked nose said "um" and said, "Then who is this person?" "The person he is talking about is naturally talking about me.

The elder brother said, "It's Mr. Fang's patient, this person must follow, so ......"

The hooked nose suddenly laughed and said, "A patient? He was coming, and you let him come? ”

I saw that the hall brother was hanging his head, and in such a cold weather, a layer of cold sweat had faintly appeared on his forehead, and it seemed that he was really nervous.

"Dad, it's all this ugly monster who must come along, it's none of my brother's business!" Na Hui'er was on the side, and couldn't help but interject to defend her brother.

The hooked nose sneered, suddenly slapped the table, and said sharply: "Qiao Hui! How many times have I told you to call me the head of the house! ”

Na Hui'er was frightened, bit her lip, and said, "Family master." "As soon as you stomp your foot, you will no longer speak.

The hall brother said: "Master of the family, I am afraid that I will miss the right thing if I get entangled, so I will ...... Bring him along. His voice trembled slightly.

I grew up in a small mountain village with my third uncle, and our largest family is the Liu family, and later lived in Tancheng with Qingzi, although I have met some local snakes like Dong Ye, but I have never met this kind of so-called family with deep roots.

What is the difference between having such a home and not having it?

The thin man was very ostentatious when he was outside, but as soon as he entered the door, he shrank his head like a cat, and he didn't even dare to make a sound. As for the short and fat man named Qiao Dong, he became a marginal person, hiding aside, not daring to move.

But Ah Zi's little girl couldn't stand it, and said loudly: "Where is the patient?" Take me to see it. ”

The hooked nose glanced at us, and said to Ah Zi, "You are Mr. Fang's apprentice?" ”

Ah Zi said: "That's right. ”

The hooked nose looked at me again, his eyes flickering, and said, "Come, bring people up." Then I heard someone answering from the side, and then I heard a series of slight footsteps, probably going down.

I glanced at the rest of the room a few more times. I saw that in addition to the hooked nose and Erlang's legs, there were three people who could sit at the bottom of the head, all of them were between forty and fifty years old, and the one sitting under the hooked nose was a middle-aged man, who looked younger than the hooked nose, but his hair was very white, his face was vicissitudes, and there was sadness between his eyebrows.

These three people estimated that they should be the guest of the Qiao family, and their status should be similar to that of Gu Sihan's family, Lao Wang Lao Li and others, I heard that generally some families with some roots will raise some such capable people.

Everyone in the hall was sitting upright, without any sound, and a group of juniors of the Qiao family didn't even have a place to sit, and they didn't dare to stand there.

I felt a slight pinch on my arm, and when I turned my head, I saw that the little girl winked at me and shook her head. I can probably see what she means. Although this little girl is young, she is the eldest lady of the Gu family after all. Gu Sihan's family is definitely not small, and compared to this Qiao family, I am afraid it is far better.

She grew up in this environment, so she can naturally see the doorway. Let me not speak lightly, lest I cause trouble on myself.

I nodded at her, indicating that I understood. The little girl smiled at me, revealing a row of fine white teeth.

At this time, I heard the sound of footsteps, and I saw four people coming in, carrying in one door panel after another. A white cloth was placed on it, and judging from the bulge, it should be a person lying down.

The four men lowered the door panel to the ground, bowed to the hooknose and the others, and withdrew. Hooknose waved his hand. The hall brother immediately stepped forward and said to Ah Zi: "Please come here." ”

Ah Zi patted my arm, stepped forward and said, "Can you give me a stool?" ”

Hooknose nodded, and immediately someone brought a stool up. Ah Zi took the stool, brought it to me, and said, "Brother Big Ugly, your legs are not good, sit down for a while." He helped me to sit down, and then turned and walked to the door.

I'm not welcome, and sat down on the stool, putting my cane aside. After walking this mountain road, I had some backache, and I stretched out my arms comfortably, which suddenly attracted a cold snort from the thin man on the side. If it weren't for the Qiao family's elders, this birdman would probably have an attack immediately.

I let go and took a closer look at the door. As soon as this thing was brought in, I smelled a faint smell of corpse. The smell is very faint, and it seems to be mixed with some other peculiar smells, which may smell more like a fishy smell to ordinary people.

The big brother said, "Come here." Reaching out, he lifted the white cloth on the door panel, and suddenly an even stronger fishy smell emanated in the air.

I heard Na Hui'er retch, probably because I couldn't stand the fishy smell, and the thin man and the short and fat man also had ugly faces. From my side, I saw that there was a very young man lying on the door panel, and the skin exposed on the outside of his clothes showed a strange indigo color, especially the mouth, the lips were pale and thickly turned out, and the two eyes were bulging outward, which looked particularly strange.

Ah Zi squatted down in front of the man, stretched out two fingers and probed between the man's neck, and said, "It's still alive." ”

The eagle hooked his nose and said: "We also know when we are alive, what is the disease?" ”

Ah Zi didn't speak, but reached out and opened the man's eyelids. But as soon as he opened it, he let out an "ah" whisper, and as soon as his hand was released, his eyes closed again, as if he was startled.

I glanced at it in a hurry, and saw that under the man's open eyelids, there was a miserable whiteness, and there was no trace of black in sight.

Ah Zi calmed down, opened the man's eyelids again, looked at it carefully, untied the man's clothes, looked at it carefully, and after a long time, said: "This person should have been bitten by something, as for what it is, I can't see it for a while." ”

The hooked nose laughed and said, "Really? How did you tell if he was bitten? ”

The thin man, who was originally shrunk to the side, suddenly stepped forward at this time and shouted, "That's it! I just said that this village girl doesn't understand anything, it's just nonsense! We have already checked every inch of this person's body, and we haven't even found a bite mark, how can it be bitten? The head of the family, I said a long time ago that I would not let this village girl come. ”

The hooked nose let out an "oh", noncommittal.

Ah Zi got up and said, "You guys come and open his mouth and see." The elder brother immediately stepped forward and opened the man's mouth, and the thin man leaned in to look. After a while, I heard the two of them whispering.

The hall brother got up, lowered his head and said to the hooked nose: "This man has a bite mark on his tongue, but it is hidden under his tongue, and none of us noticed it before." ”

The hooked nose let out an "oh", seemed a little surprised, got up from his chair, and walked to the door. The elder brother crouched down and broke the man's mouth open, pointing out the location of the bite marks.

When I saw Ah Zi standing aside, I waved at her. When the little girl saw this, she came over and asked me if my leg hurt. I pulled her and asked her what the bite mark looked like. Ah Zi glanced at me and said with a smile: "You are quite curious. He leaned into my ear and whispered what he had seen.

She spoke softly, and her exhalation tickled her ears. When I heard her, I had a rough idea of what the wound looked like. It seemed to be a very sharp thing, piercing the man's tongue from below, and I couldn't help but be a little strange: "How did this bite?" ”

Ah Zi's little face turned red and said, "That's it." ”

When I saw her strange expression, I immediately understood. It can cause such a wound, and it is a bite, it can only be in a mouth-to-mouth situation. It's just that I don't understand how this can be seen as a bite.

Ah Zi was just about to speak, when he heard the hooked nose and say, "Can it be cured?" ”

Ah Zi said: "I can only save this person's life temporarily, and the rest can only wait for my master to come back and see if there is a way." As he spoke, he crouched down in front of the man and took out a syringe, which seemed to be intended for administering the needle.
