Chapter 14: Strange Causes
Chen Ming put the last wrapped bun in the cage drawer, but took out the bun again, looked at it carefully, looked at it for a while, and then he broke the bun again and looked at it carefully.
The green onions are the shallots that I bought from the market myself, washed and chopped by myself, and they are all the freshest and most tender parts used, without a single blemish.
The meat is the best sour meat that the most reputable butcher in the market has newly entered in the morning, with fat and thin, and a reasonable combination. This fresh minced meat is hand-mixed and hand-wrapped.
But just like that, it's not worth 80 yuan, what is its value? Why everyone is rushing to eat. It's just a bun, an ordinary steamed bun.
Chen Ming pinched the bun again and put it back in the cage drawer. From the time he made the buns, Chen Ming was thinking. If something strange happens and you can't figure it out, then put it aside and don't think about it, but so many strange things happen in a row, then you have to think about it.
In order to save money, Luo Wen didn't publicize it with much fanfare, just sent small advertisements to promote, Chen Ming can understand, the buns are too expensive to buy, and Luo Wen's bunch of strange theories, Chen Ming can barely understand.
But what Chen Ming didn't understand the most was why the guests would take the initiative to ask to stay in the hotel. Luo Wen was arrogant like a queen, with a straight face, and the guests not only didn't mind, but also begged to stay a few more days, which was a strange thing that completely violated common sense in Chen Ming's thinking logic.
Since he met Luo Wen, Chen Ming has opened the door to a new world, and since then everything has changed, he doesn't know if life has become magical, or if this world is so magical.
Chen Ming needs an explanation, and Chen Ming also knows that there is one person who can explain all this, and that is Luo Wen. As for timing, the time when Chen Ming and Luo Wen are alone every day is the best time.
The skin soaked in essential oils exuded a soft luster, and in just a few days, Luo Wen's skin was as white and delicate as a baby.
Chen Ming gently kneaded Luo Wen's skin, and asked tentatively: "Luo Wen, I have inquired about the prices of other hotels, our ordinary room has four beds, and one bed is three hundred and eighty-eight yuan a day, which can be said to be very expensive." Why do you think those guests are rushing to stay in our hotel? ”
Luo Wen said lightly: "It's good that you still don't know." It's not good to know. ”
Chen Ming said: "But if I don't know the reason, I will be very uneasy!" ”
Luo Wen paused and said, "I told you that you can, but you can only hide it in your heart and not mention it to outsiders, you know?" ”
Chen Ming hurriedly promised, "No problem, I must be rotten in my stomach, and I won't say anything to anyone!" ”
Luo Wen said: "That's good! ”
As if organizing the language, Luo Wen was silent for a moment and said, "Actually, it's not such a mysterious thing, I remember I told you that the skin disease I have is a rare genetic disease. Doctors can't cure it, they can only rely on maintenance! ”
Chen Ming nodded and said, "I said this!" ”
Luo Wen said: "In fact, there are many people who have this disease, and the people who come to our hotel to stay are basically people with this disease, once this disease is obtained, it will break out from time to time with the increase of age, and it will be more serious every time, and finally the whole body ulcers and dies." The most important thing is that there is no cure.
But as long as you live in this courtyard, no matter how serious your condition is, you will get better quickly with a little treatment, just like me. If you haven't gotten sick yet, just taking care of your skin here and then leaving it will greatly delay the time of the next outbreak. That's why they're scrambling to come and live here.
Chen Ming was surprised: "How can it be so magical? Any idea what the reason is? ”
Luo Wen said: "Ancient legends say that this difficult disease is invaded by ghost qi, the more ghost qi is contaminated, the more serious the disease will be, but no matter whether it is mild or serious, the final end is that the whole body ulcers and dies, but the length of life is different." Although this disease cannot be cured, it can be controlled, that is, find a place where yang energy is at its peak to live, and you can use yang energy to slowly dissolve ghost energy.
Chen Ming couldn't help but smile and said, "How is this possible, isn't this feudal superstition?" ”
Luo Wen said flatly: "It's not funny! The ancestors of the Luo family were those who were looking for the place where yang energy was at its peak. ”
Chen Ming: "Ah! He knew that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, you continue." ”
I only heard Luo Wen say again: "Because there is such a disease in the family, in order to save the family, my ancestors traveled all over the famous rivers and mountains to find the prosperous land of pure yang. The hard work paid off, and my ancestor really found it, so he took his people to build a house and live there.
My ancestors were not selfish people, and felt that such a good place should not be monopolized. So the inn was built, so that other people with this disease also came to live, only charged the inn living fee, and did not charge additional other fees, if the condition was serious, stay for a few more days, and if the disease was mild, stay for a day or two and leave, completely depending on the patient's own wishes.
At that time, my ancestors were not satisfied with this pure yang place, and continued to search, looking for a total of nine such places, and built inns on them to supply people with this disease to treat diseases.
The moon is full and lacking, the flowers are full and bad, with the change of the times, the Luo family has risen and fallen several times, to my father's generation, the only thing left in the family is this self-use house, after my father died, this place was inherited by my brother, because there are no ghosts and gods in this era, my brother has not been guilty of this disease since he was a child, and he just wants to be a scientist, and his mind is not on opening a store, so this place has been deserted.
After my brother died, he left it to me, and although I inherited it, I only inherited it, and I didn't have the heart to run it, because I have been studying abroad and have my own ideals.
It wasn't until later that I suddenly found out that I still had this kind of ghost qi invasion disease in my body, but I had been suppressed and didn't notice it, so I came back here. You know the rest.
After hearing this, Chen Ming said with a heavy heart: "This is your family's ancestral land, how can you sell it to me?" ”
Luo Wen smiled: "Aren't you dreaming of having a store that is completely your own?" I'll sell it to you! ”
Chen Ming said: "I can't ask for your family's ancestral land, I want to return this place to you!" ”
Luo Wen said: "In your hands is no different from in my hands. And you're needed here, isn't it? ”
Chen Ming was moved by Luo Wen's words, and he didn't speak, but his technique became more gentle.
The two were silent for a while, and Chen Ming suddenly said, "Is the treatment effect of this shop really so good?" Isn't this feudal superstition? Or is there another reason for the cure? ”
Luo Wen said: "No one would doubt this question in the past, but in modern times, especially my father, he has also doubted it and explored the reason. He also took the soil and water to well-known laboratories around the world for analysis.
Although the results were not accurate in the end, there was a very likely guess.
