I saw that it was still early, so I cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks with Xiaohai. I remembered that when I woke up in the morning, she had already gotten up, sat on the single sofa next to me, looked at the cigarette stick she had brought from the wine master the other day, and carefully stroked the silverfish hanging on the cigarette stick, and looked miserable.

Cigarette sticks, silverfish, and the farewell letter, I care about them all, and I don't dare to think deeply, because no matter how I think about it, it will not end well, as if there is a closed door in the dark, if you don't push it open, what is on the other side of the door is a mystery, you can fantasize, and you can even have good hopes, but if you really want to reach out and push it open, whether the door is good or bad, you have to accept it, whether you are mentally prepared enough, even if you can't do it well in your life, you have to accept it.

So until I went to bed yesterday, I refused to open my eyes to look at that door, nor did I think about it, let alone actually reach out and push it.

But I know very well in my heart that there are some things that must not be avoided, and the door that should be pushed open will be pushed open sooner or later, and even if we don't take the initiative to push, one day, it will open itself and present the result, even if we really don't want to know the result.

So the only thing I can do now is to be as prepared as possible to accept the worst ending, I have to tell myself that Uncle Xiu is dead, and I have to order myself to accept this, only if I really accept it, can I comfort Xiaohai.

But it was really too difficult, washing the dishes, and almost shed tears.

So, let's wait for further clues, or more information, to discuss her father's disappearance with Xiaohai.

Seventy-seven-eighty-eight washed and packed up, we packed our bags and prepared to go out, looking back at Qiao Lanxiang standing on the side of the stairs looking at us silently, so we walked over and hugged her carefully, and comforted her very seriously: "No matter what, as long as there is the slightest possibility, I will find a way to help you get the medicine back." ”

She looked at me, her broken eyes dripping red with yellow liquid.

The old lazy put Xia Dongyi's authentic painting into his car, turned around and analyzed the route, and said to me: "It's more convenient for me to send Xiaohai to the hospital, so you don't have to take a detour." ”

I'm right to think about it, just let Xiao Hai his car. The lazy man rolled down the window and smiled at me, and I solemnly told him once again to hide his identity and not reveal it, whether he was dealing with the auction house or the buyer. He nodded solemnly, slowly reversed the car out of the yard, and walked away with one foot on the accelerator.

Seeing off the lazy people, I still don't feel at ease at home, I turned around again and told Qiao Lanxiang to stay at home and not go out, except for a few people we know, no one knocks on the door or rings the bell to open the door, don't answer the phone when it rings, go with it to voicemail, if there is something, call any of us, the number is pressed under the phone.

This feels a bit like a mother going out and telling her children to stay at home alone, looking at the picture against the picture, it seems to be very funny, but when I think of the depth of time, I feel a little bleak.

As I was saying the words I was instructing, my mobile phone rang suddenly, and when I picked it up, I saw that it was Chang Kun's number, and I was busy picking it up and feeding it, the voice was a little harsh, and my heartbeat was speeding up a lot.

It's really Chang Kun.

Ever since he was taken under control by the research center for forced treatment, I was a little desperate and didn't plan to hear his voice and see anyone else in the future, so now I was really surprised.

From the voice on the phone, it sounded like he was doing well, at least much better than I expected, and it was almost impossible to hear the presence of mania or the sluggishness caused by the side effects of the medication.

Thank goodness for that.

He asked me how I was doing and if anything unusual was going on. I smiled and asked him what he meant by anomaly, whether it was an event or a body. He said whatever you want. I said that I hadn't noticed anything wrong with my body so far, but the incident we investigated was full of anomalies.

He was silent for a while, and said that Ding Ping had told him everything he had found in his house, the mineral powder hidden in the quilt, and the part-time worker who had escaped that day and had not been found until now. He carefully analyzed the whole thing, and said that he had used the part-time worker aunt for more than six years, that is to say, he had used her before the serial murder in Chenjiawu, so it could not be a situation of insertion or lurking, it would only be a situation of being bought. But if you can't get her back, you won't be able to figure out who or what kind of person bought her.

Speaking of this, he sighed and said: "In fact, even if you find it back, you may not be able to ask the identity of the other party, and the people involved in the incident are extremely careful and will not show obvious flaws." I even suspect that part-time workers have been wiped out somewhere. ”

I thought so too.

So, on this line, there is basically no need to get up to hope.

After chatting for a while, I remembered to ask Chang Kun where he was now. He said that at the research center, because the new drug works very well, he can now go outdoors for a few hours a day, which will be in a picturesque place, with woods, lakes, clear water, blue sky, green grass, and no one within a few hundred meters of the vicinity, let alone surveillance cameras and listeners and other things, so he can talk with confidence.

I imagined Chang Kun in such a beautiful place, and suddenly felt that the world was very peaceful.

Chang Kun said that he had asked several experts in charge of minerals in the research center, and their clinical experiments concluded that although the damage to the brain from that mineral would be aggravated over time, if the source of the damage was completely cut off, it would not worsen in the future and would slowly get better.

"I've completely cut off the source of the damage now," he said. ”

And he said, "Thou hast saved my life." ”

I was really, really, really happy to hear these words, the smile overflowed from my heart to my face, there was the sound of wind and birds on the other end of the phone, Chang Kun was picking up a small stone and throwing it into the water, and there was a soft sound. I asked him if he was laughing right now. He didn't expect me to ask such a digressive question, and I was speechless, but I giggled and said, "I've known you for so long, I've never seen you laugh so well." ”

Chang Kun is not the kind of frivolous person, so he was silent and did not speak, but shifted the topic to me, asking me to be very careful about my physical condition.

I said, "I haven't had a problem of not being able to control my emotions, even if the minerals in the mattress have caused damage to my brain, now that the source of the damage is cut off, it will slowly heal itself, don't worry about it." ”

"That's true," he said, "but it's better to be careful." ”

I thought about it and told him about my situation, and unlike what he found in his house, instead of mineral powder, my mattress was wet, sticky, looking a bit like pearls in bubble tea, and it looked like living particles.

Chang Kun said that Ding Ping had told him before, and he had also consulted experts, and the experts of the research center could not be very sure if they had not seen the real thing, but according to several experimental cases, it could be roughly judged that it was a mixture of mineral powder called "乣" and several other minerals with different effects and special biological agents, no matter what the result was, the original intention must be to hope to have a good effect on the human body, and the side effects would be difficult to grasp if there were no samples and long-term clinical observations.

I pursed my lips and was silent, then smiled, made a calm and breezy appearance, and said: "Forget it, let it go, my life is a fluke, even if I suffer in the future, there is nothing to complain about." ”

He asked me if there were any samples of the things I found in the mattress. I said yes, Xiaohai took it. He thought for a while, and said let's keep it for now, don't rush to the research center for analysis, the situation is too complicated, and I can't grasp it.

I was silent.

Afraid that Chang Kun would say something comforting and make the two of them uncomfortable, I quickly turned back to the topic and asked him if he could find a way to get some medicine from the research center to save Qiao Lanxiang.

That's the most important thing right under my nose. When I was talking on the phone, Qiao Lanxiang was sitting on the edge of the stairs in a daze, she seemed to be about to give up her life and death, but I didn't want to give up yet. Anyway, if it's not a desperate situation, I will definitely not give up saving him, and Dai Furong.

I'm not a savior, I can't save people all over the world, I don't have such a big and compassionate heart, I just want to save the people around me.

Chang Kun said that Ding Ping had also told him about Qiao Lanxiang, they had considered a lot of plans but they couldn't work, there was monitoring in the herb cultivation room, and each herb was registered and controlled very strictly, and it was impossible to steal it out without knowing it.

I asked him, "What about the normal channels, can I get it through the normal channels?" Saving a life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, don't you take the herbs out of the underground tomb in Chenjiawu and build a special laboratory for research, just so that they can benefit mankind? Now that there are people waiting for those medicines to save them, why can't they do it? ”

He didn't speak for a while, then suddenly let out a long sigh and said in an extremely heavy tone, "It's not as simple as you think. ”

I snorted and said, "I've long guessed that things are not simple, and I have always wanted to know how difficult it is and how difficult it is." ”

He was silent for a while before he spoke, saying nonsense: "Qiao Lanxiang is a parasite. ”

I won't talk to him, wait for him to talk.

He said: "You should have seen the materials of Chen Jiawu, the parasite in the same situation as Qiao Lanxiang, and Jenny who went down to the tomb with us at that time, and three more were caught in the garrison later, a total of four. We took them to the research center, one of them died before he could be saved, and the other three, the expert team successfully used the herbs from the ground of Chenjiawu to remove the poison from their bodies, but they were never able to remove the hatred and killing intent of the black bone people in their brains, and they couldn't study how the soul was transferred, our ......"

I interrupted him: "No, there is a way. ”

Chang Kun didn't understand what I was talking about, so he paused and asked me, "What did you say?" ”

I said seriously, "There should be a way to remove the hatred and murderous intent of the Black Bone Man from the parasite's brain, but the research center deliberately did not use this method. ”

Chang Kun took a long time to say, "Yes, you are very smart. So I'm telling you, the situation in the research center is very complicated, and every step you take, you have to be very careful. ”
