The old man looked at the two young people in front of him, and felt a little strange in his heart, but he had been patrolling in this town for so many years, and he had never been a person, and he didn't even have someone to talk to, so he was really a little lonely.

Now that I have met such two young people who are willing to talk to him, an old man, I am also interested.

The old man sat down on the curb on the side of the street, put down the small gong in his hand, and said slowly: "Speaking of which, this Zhu family is a well-known family in the local area. The ancestors have owned nearly half of the fields and properties in this town, and they have built such a magnificent mansion in the suburbs, which can also be regarded as a rich party. ”

"But the ancestors of the Zhu family are very mean and stingy, and they usually love to be powerful, plus the mountains here are high and the emperor is far away, their family has become a local tyrant, and the people have no good impression of their family. ”

More than 20 years ago, a plague broke out here, and more than a dozen people from the Zhu family were all infected with the epidemic within a few days, and they died of violent disease. Although everyone has always been dissatisfied with their family, it is indeed pitiful enough to encounter such a tragedy. ”

Ye Feng was stunned when he heard this: "All of them are dead?"

The old man was a little dissatisfied with Ye Feng's interruption of his words, and said impatiently: "What's the hurry, didn't I just want to talk about it!" All the people in the Zhu family's mansion are dead, or the big guys in the town see them pitiful, so they helped to restrain them and handle the aftermath, and they all thought that all the people of the Zhu family were dead. ”

"Who knew that two years later, someone suddenly came and moved into the Zhu family's mansion, claiming to be the son of the Zhu family. You said that this person has been dead for two years, and no one even cares about the future, and now such a descendant of the Zhu family suddenly appears, who believes it?"

"But let's say I don't believe it, but people have the contract of all the real estate and fields of the Zhu family in their hands, and they can't help but believe it. In addition, as soon as the son of the Zhu family came back, he said that he was grateful to the big guy for helping to take care of his family's funeral, and deeply regretted that he was sorry for the villagers in the past, and he repaired bridges and paved roads, and relieved the villagers, and almost renovated the town, and did a lot of good things. ”

Everyone looked at him like this, and he didn't look like the kind of person who wanted to dominate the Zhu family's industry by impostor, so they gradually let down their guard and believed him. And he has done so many good deeds, so everyone began to call him a good man of Zhu Da. ”

Ye Feng nodded, it turned out that the name of this Zhu Dashan still had such a origin.

The old man said sincerely: "This Zhu Dashan man is really a rare good person, at the beginning, this town was remote, old and dilapidated, there were no outsiders all year round, and even many local residents wanted to move out of this place. Thanks to Zhu Dashan's people who built bridges and paved roads, and renovated houses for the town, there were gradually more foreigners who came here, and there were also people who came to open mines nearby, so the town has such a prosperous scene today. ”

He dodged his feet and said: "Now the stone road under our feet was built by Zhu Dashan at the beginning, and the shops on both sides were all built by him, and he also went around to adopt a lot of wandering orphans, all of whom lived in that big house. ”

"Fortunately, the Zhu family has a rich background, if it weren't for these family backgrounds, I'm afraid it would have been impossible to support it a long time ago. The money he has spent over the years is only enough to buy the entire town. It's a pity that he is now destitute, and looking at his family's big mansion, it is so dilapidated, it has not been renovated for many years, and it is really embarrassing to think about it. ”

Ye Feng couldn't help but think of the joy in his eyes when the child in Zhu Dashan's house heard about eating white-flour steamed buns in the afternoon, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.

This Zhu Dashan man is now living such a poor life, who would have thought that he was such a rich party back then, but his own heart to do good was unwavering, how could it not make people feel emotional?

Zhang Fatzi couldn't help but ask: "Since he is so famous here, why do you say that you haven't seen him?"

The old man said: "It's strange to say, although this Zhu Dashan man is good and famous, he is very low-key, he almost never shows his face, but silently pays money in the back, and tells others to run errands for him in everything, never sells his reputation, and there are few people in the town who have really seen him." ”

Zhang Fatzi didn't believe it, and sneered: "Maybe it's you."

The old man sleeps during the day and only comes out at night to watch, and the day and night are reversed, so he can't see him, right?"

The old man was a little angry when he heard this, but he couldn't refute it, and it was not good to have a seizure, so he could only glare at the fat man angrily.

In fact, Ye Feng didn't feel strange about this.

Zhu Dashan's legs are disabled, he is inconvenient to walk, and people with disabilities will inevitably mind the eyes of others, so it is human nature that he rarely shows his face.

After thinking about it, he asked the old man again: "In addition to the Zhu family, are there any other rich families in this town?"

The old man shook his head: "No, most of the residents here were tenants of the Zhu family in the past, and they planted all the fields of the Zhu family. ”

Ye Feng nodded, it seems that this older man should not know anything about the mysterious behind-the-scenes boss behind these shops on this street.

After the story of beating the old man was finished, Ye Feng and the others exchanged a few words with him, then said goodbye and returned to the inn to rest, and the old man continued to knock on his bamboo pole and small gong alone, walking on the dark street.

On the way back, even Zhang Fatzi couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "To be able to truly regard money as dung, and to be like what Master Kong said, a spoonful of food, a scoop of drink, and not change his pleasure, this Daddy Zhu is really a rare good person in the world." ”

Ye Feng nodded, even Zhang Fatzi could call him "Daddy Zhu", he was indeed a rare good person.

But I don't know why, after listening to the words of the older man just now, Ye Feng always felt that something was not quite right, but he couldn't say what was wrong.

So contemplative all the way back to the inn, the two of them slept peacefully, and did not say anything all night.

Just as it was dawning, there was a sudden sound of a quick knock on the door.

The fat man Zhang, who was sleeping hazyly, sat up all of a sudden with an angry face, and muttered in his heart, I was woken up twice by the sound of banging on the door this night, can I still make people sleep well?

Ye Feng walked over and opened the door to take a look, only to find that it was the boy from last time, but this time, his face was even more nervous, and as soon as he came in, he stammered: "Quick, quick, Brother Ayong, he, he ......"

Seeing that he was running all the way, he was out of breath and speechless at the moment, Ye Feng hurriedly comforted him and asked him to sit down, calm down and speak slowly.

The child waved his hands and refused to sit down, and finally said after a long time: "Brother Ayong, he, he is poisoned, and he is dying!"

Poisoning?

At this moment, even the fat man on the bed jumped up in shock, and asked eagerly what was going on.

The boy urged them to hurry up and leave, and then explain slowly on the way.

So the three of them hurriedly went out and ran wildly in the direction of the Zhu family's mansion in the suburbs.

Halfway through, the kid finally told the story and the consequences.

It turned out that after Ye Feng and the others left last night, they saw that the poisonous snake had fallen asleep, so Zhu Dashan also went back to the room to rest, and before leaving, he specially instructed the child to stay and stay in front of the poisonous snake's bed to prevent any changes in his injuries.

The child stayed according to his words and kept sitting in front of the viper's bed, but after all, he was a child, and he had just arrived in the town to invite Ye Feng and them to run all the way, so he was really tired and couldn't help but take a nap.

Just when he was half-asleep, he suddenly heard the poisonous snake on the bed moaning in pain again, and after a while, there was no moaning, and the whole person fell into a coma.

By the time the kid hurriedly ran to call Zhu Dashanren, one of the snake's faces had already begun to turn black.

After Zhu Dashan investigated the situation of the poisonous snake, he was very sure that he was poisoned, and then hurriedly asked the kid to come to the inn in the town to find Ye Feng and them.

Obviously it was the prescription left by Miss Cheng, and the poisonous snake had always been good when she took the pill she left behind, but now how could it be poisoned if she grabbed the medicine according to the prescription?

Ye Feng felt very strange in his heart, and a bad premonition appeared in his heart again.

In a blink of an eye, I arrived at the Zhu family's mansion and came to the viper's room, outside which was already full of many children who lived here, and they were all whispering something to each other.

I saw Ye Feng and Zhang Fatzi coming over

, They instinctively gave way to a way, but Ye Feng vaguely felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the eyes of these children looking at him.

Walking into the house, the poisonous snake lay motionless on the bed, unresponsive, and its face seemed to be covered with a layer of black gas.

Zhu Dashan sat on the edge of the bed with an anxious face, and a middle-aged man who looked like Lang Zhong was standing in front of the bed, using a silver needle to probe the acupuncture points of the poisonous snake.

After a while, Lang Zhong turned around with the silver needle, and everyone clearly saw that the silver needle pillow had turned black.

"It's so powerful!" Lang Zhong shook his head and sighed, "I have been practicing medicine for more than ten years, and I have never seen such a violent poison, and this blade has no other wounds on his body except for the sword wound on his chest, so I judge that this poison should be put in the diet." ”

Poisoning?

Zhu Dashanren's face changed, and he said to Lang Zhong eagerly: "No matter what, please ask Mr. to save this child." ”

Lang Zhong shook his head, indicating that he couldn't do anything about it: "I have never seen such poison before, and I have treated some townspeople who were accidentally bitten by poisonous snakes before, and I really can't treat such a violent poison." ”

He paused and said, "Unless, unless we can know what he ate and what kind of poison he had, there may be a glimmer of hope." ”

Zhu Dashanren muttered while recalling: "Ah Yong has been lying in his room since he came back here yesterday afternoon, and he has never gone out at all, nor has he used food, just ......"

He suddenly remembered something and said, "It's just that he drank a bowl of medicinal soup last night." ”

Lang Zhong asked, "Who fried the medicinal soup?"

The child next to him trembled and said, "I fried it, but it was all fried according to the medicine they caught, and nothing was added." ”

He pointed at Ye Feng and Zhang Fatzi.

Such a child, coupled with the panicked and frightened look on his face, no one would doubt that he would lie, let alone believe that he would poison the decoction for no reason.

So everyone's suspicious eyes were all focused on Ye Feng and them.

This gaze made Zhang Fatzi a little uncomfortable, and he was about to have a seizure, but Ye Feng grabbed him and said, "We are taking the medicine according to the prescription left by the doctor who treated him before, and there should be no mistakes." ”

He had told Zhu Dashan before that it was the daughter of Doctor Cheng who healed the poisonous snake, and he was very confident in Miss Cheng's medical skills, so he was right.

Na Lang Zhong snorted coldly, his eyes were still full of doubt, and asked, "Is it? What about the prescription?

Holding the prescription, Na Langzhong's face instantly changed color, and he sighed in his mouth: "Strange, strange, hey, suspicious, suspicious!"

Zhu Dashan asked, "What's suspicious?"

Lang Zhong pointed to the prescription and said: "I don't know who wrote this prescription, the drugs used to treat knife and gun trauma on it seem to be the head, but some drugs are completely wrong here, and some dosages are also unreasonable, the whole prescription looks really a little specious, nondescript, and really suspicious!"

Zhang Fatzi finally couldn't help it, and scolded loudly: "You quack! Obviously, you are rare and strange, and you don't understand bullshit, but you are here to make a lot of nonsense, what is strange, what is suspicious, I think you are a swaggering charlatan!"

Na Langzhong was robbed of this beating, his face was dull, his face turned red, and he argued: "Even though I am just a quack doctor in the countryside, after all, I have been practicing medicine for more than ten years, how have I ever seen someone use medicine like this? It is completely contrary to pharmacology, it is completely nonsense!"

Zhang Fatzi scolded: "You still dare to talk nonsense! Let me ask you, can any of this prescription be poisons, and its toxicity can cause people to be poisoned like this?"

Lang Zhong was speechless, shook his head and said, "That's not true." ”

Zhang Fatzi was so angry that he almost jumped up: "Then you are still talking nonsense here, as if we have poisoned you! If you dare to talk nonsense, see if I don't tear your mouth apart!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lang Zhong's face changed, he picked up the medicine box and turned around and walked out, muttering in his mouth: "Okay, okay, I'm a quack doctor, a charlatan, I can't cure this strange and miscellaneous disease, you better ask another smart for this poison, can't I provoke it and hide?"

After saying that, he walked straight out. Even if Zhu Dashan kept him in the back, he didn't even look back.
