The person who just came to Xiao Mansion to report the news is named Qin Hansheng, who is very appreciated by Xiao Jinan in all aspects of his daily work in the state capital, and there is a man wearing a purple brocade robe and a simple knife hanging from his waist.

Hearing Xiao Jinan say that he was going to invite the immortal chief, Xu Mo's figure appeared in Qin Hansheng's mind, and he hurriedly ran back to the state capital.

After Xiao Jinan comforted the Niu family, he turned to look at Yu Wanquan and said, "Wanquan, what do you think?"

Yu Wanquan first saluted, thought closely, and finally said, "My lord, in our hometown, it is said that the dead do have no shadow, if Niu Yingping is really dead, then there is no shadow, it is normal." ”

"When a person dies, there is a saying, but you don't think Niu Yingping's condition is very strange, according to his wife, it has been two hours since he passed out, and when I just shook his hand, I found that his palm was still warm. ”

Yu Wanquan scratched his head and said, "That...... Then the lower official does not know. ”

In Xiao's mansion, the housekeeper Su Ruhai was taking Xu Mo to get the money according to Xiao Jinan's instructions when he left, and he didn't take much, only more than fifty taels of silver.

"Immortal Chief, is more than fifty taels enough? ”

"Enough, enough!"

Xu Mo nodded, he didn't know the price of goods and the standard of money measurement in today's dynasty, saying that it was enough just because fifty taels were heavy in his pocket, no matter how much, it would be cumbersome, when it came to the issue of the dynasty, Xu Mo actually wanted to ask when he dined with Xiao Jinan, because considering that the people around him didn't know the inside story, they would think that he didn't even know the dynasty he was in, and he was a fool, so he didn't ask again, and now, in the face of the housekeeper Su Ruhai, he also wanted to talk and stopped.

Su Ruhai said very respectfully, "Immortal Chief, Immortal Chief really wants to leave, my lord went to the east of the city to do business, he left in a hurry, when he left, in addition to letting me bring Immortal Chief to get silver, he also asked me to accompany Immortal Chief to have a good walk, and wait for the master to come back......"

"Immortal Chief, Immortal Chief!"

Before Su Ruhai finished speaking, the Xiao Mansion family over there hurriedly ran over with Qin Hansheng, who was going to invite him, raised his sleeves to wipe off the sweat on his face, and Qin Hansheng said with a dry voice, "Immortal Chief, my lord, please go to Chengdong Niu's house in an emergency, and please go with me quickly." ”

"What do you say, let me go to the east of the city. Xu Mo pointed to his nose and said.

"Yes, Immortal. ”

"Damn, what's the matter, this Xiao Jinan. Xu Mo knew very well that he was still carrying Xiao Jinan's fifty taels of silver on his shoulder, although he was foolish and mixed up with the immortal chief to rescue the Xiao family, it was natural to take the Xiao family's money at the moment, but if he didn't go, it seemed that he was not righteous, and the image of the immortal chief would be lost.

"Okay, let's go, Steward Su, you keep the silver for me first. ”

"Immortal Chief rest assured. ”

Qin Hansheng led the way in front, Xu Mo followed behind, and when he walked out of the gate of Xiao Mansion, who would have thought that the goods would stop unexpectedly, and Xu Mo, who was humming the girl by the bridge, didn't pay attention and almost hit him on the back of the head.

"Stop, what's the matter!" Xu Mo couldn't help but shout.

The frightened Qin Hansheng shrank his neck and said, "Immortal... Immortal Chief, are we going to walk over?"

"Why, you're having trouble. ”

"It's not. Qin Hansheng shook his hand and said with a smile, "I heard that immortals can soar through the clouds and mist, why don't you fly over, it may be faster." ”

"Fly a ghost, go, even if you fly, I'll fly, can you fly you." ”

"Oh!" Qin Hansheng replied aggrieved.

Xiao Mansion is still some distance from the east of the city, when Xu Mo and Qin Hansheng arrived, Yu Wanquan was arranging Si Pingwei's people to investigate around Niu's house, Xiao Jinan comforted Niu's family, Xu Mo arrived, and the dignified governor Xiao Jinan smiled and said, "Immortal Chief, Immortal Chief, you are finally here, take a look." ”

When he comforted Niu, he said that Xu Mo was so divine that when he saw the real person, Niu jumped up and sobbed, "Xu Xianchang, Xu Xianchang, please, save my husband." ”

Xu Mo felt embarrassed for no reason, and slowly supported her, "Don't worry, I'll take a look at your husband first." In fact, even if Xu Mo looked, he couldn't see anything, but he had already arrived, what else could he do if it was difficult to ride a tiger, he walked into the back room, went to observe Niu Ying's flat color, deliberately made a very understanding appearance, and learned the image of the miracle doctor he had heard before, rolled his eyelids to look at the color of his eyes, the pulse, and finished tossing, and said, "Actually, I am not very proficient in medical Taoism, you can find a husband to see it." ”

Niu Shi stopped choking and said, "I haven't looked for a husband, the situation of the shopkeeper is too weird, I'm afraid ......"

"What are you afraid of, if it is a certain disease, if it is not diagnosed and treated in time, it will be delayed. ”

"But, Immortal Chief, I don't think he's sick, he... He doesn't have a shadow!"

"What did you say?" Xu Mo leaned down, took Niu Yingping's hand to look, sure enough, under the sun, there was no trace, he finally understood why Xiao Jinan hurriedly called him here, people without shadows are too weird, especially Xiao Jinan, who has experienced the haunted female ghosts in the house, it is easier to associate with that aspect, it is really nothing to look for, Xu Mo scratched his head a little frustrated and said, "Don't be stunned, hurry up and find the Taifu, no matter what is going on, let the Taifu take a look first." ”

"Okay, okay, come on, go and ask a husband to come over. ”

Xu Mo asked seriously, "Has your husband been in contact with any strange people recently, or has there been any strange phenomena!"

Niu Shi thought for a moment and said, "I haven't come into contact with particularly strange people, every day is open in the morning and closed at night, my husband treats people well on weekdays, and he has never made any enemies." ”

"Taifu is here!"

The guards of Siping Mansion shouted and brought in a young man who was about twenty-five or sixteen years old, and Xu Mo saw that the man was young but had an extraordinary bearing, wearing a dark blue gown and carrying a medicine box.

"I've seen the governor. ”

Before Xiao Jinan could say anything, Niu grabbed his clothes and said, "Mrs. He, Mrs. He, please save my husband, save my husband." She cried and screamed, and she was already paralyzed on the ground, heartbroken and in pain.

This person's name is He Sheng, is the youngest husband in Changqing Prefecture, he came to the bedside, closed his eyes, quietly called the pulse, according to the doctor's procedure, looking at and hearing and asking is the truth of the truth, but He Sheng's diagnosis and medical treatment, often have to omit the link of asking, in his words, the person who asks is often a family member, sometimes false, sometimes unintentionally exaggerated, often not conducive to diagnosis, the number of pulses, there is an elixir to judge life and death He Shengdao "It seems that the cow shopkeeper, in is the disease of the nightmare." ”

"What is Nightmare Syndrome?"

Xiao Jinan interrogated in detail, and Niu Shi was beside him with a worried face, and his hands were clenched at the hem of his skirt to listen.

Xu Mo leaned against the door and sang the girl by the bridge, leisurely!

He Shengdao, who is young and experienced in medical skills, said, "The so-called nightmare syndrome means that you have been trapped in a nightmare for a long time and can't wake up, and there are not many records about this disease in medical books." ”

Niu hurriedly asked, "Then why is there no shadow of my shopkeeper, and what can be done to save him?" ”

"Alas!" He Sheng sighed, "I can only prescribe a side medicine first, and I'm not sure if it will work." "In Changqing Prefecture, as long as He Sheng said that he was not sure of the disease, then the eight achievements were a lack of skills, shaking his head and showing bitterness, He Sheng said, "In addition, why there is no shadow of the cow shopkeeper, I really can't answer, this matter is a little mysterious." ”

The word Xuanyi floated into Xiao Jinan's ears, and he naturally noticed Xu Mo, who was singing by the doorpost, and said respectfully, "Immortal Chief, since the matter of the illness, Mrs. He has already been diagnosed, so do you take a look at him, why is there no shadow, to be honest, I also think this matter is very strange, and I ask Xu Xianchang to take a look."

"Stinky old man, you're going to pull me into the water for anything. Xu Mo glanced at him, couldn't think of a reason for prevarication, and opened the topic and said, "Oh, drink some tea first, why don't you talk slowly, your mouth is dry, do you have to be so tired." ”

"It's true, you see I've forgotten, don't blame me, I'll go make tea. After a while, Niu Shi brought three bowls of tea, and in the process of making tea, Xu Mo thought of a way to deal with it, so he took the tea with a smile, "Your husband has no shadow, it's really strange to say, don't worry, I'll go back and check the books tonight, and I will find a solution." ”

The moment he took the tea, Xu Mo noticed that Niu's right hand only had four fingers, and he didn't ask about it, after all, it was a matter of politeness, maybe it was a mistake by a kitchen knife while cooking, or some other accident, after thinking about it, Xu Mo said again, "Don't worry, I will definitely let your husband wake up"

"Thank you, Immortal. ”

Niu made a salute and handed the other two cups to Xiao Jinan and He Sheng respectively.

Xiao Jinan took the tea, looked at it intentionally or unintentionally, and wondered, "Hey, why is the other cup not tea, but boiled water?"

"Oh, Mrs. Ho doesn't drink tea. Niu explained.

"I see, I see. It was originally a very normal thing, Xu Mo saw it in his eyes, and after detailed thinking in his mind, he felt that it was not normal, and then said, "Sister-in-law Niu seems to be very familiar with Mrs. He." ”

"No, even if we were sick before, we were all looking for Dr. Ma, hey, Immortal, drink tea, don't wait for the cold. ”

"Okay, thank you!" Xu Mo was smiling on the surface, but he didn't believe her words at all, when Niu's went to make tea, He Sheng didn't say that he didn't drink tea at all, how did she know?

"Newspaper... My lord!"

Just when Xu Mo was thinking about this question, a guard ran in from outside, He had something urgent to say, but when he saw Xu Mo and He Sheng present, he immediately choked his throat.

"None of them are outsiders, you say. ”

With Xiao Jinan's consent, the chief guard said in an air, "My lord, the Huang family in the north of the city, something happened, the situation seems to be the same as the cow's shopkeeper, unconscious, and there is no shadow." ”

"Ahh

Xiao Jinan was surprised, and the teacup in his hand fell to the ground.
