Chapter 13 Chapter Thirteen

As soon as he got home, before the bench was hot, Liu San rushed in and grabbed Wu Qi tightly as if he was seeing his own father. "Ouch, you two genius doctors, I've lost my legs just looking for you these days, hurry up...!" "What's the matter?" Wu Qisu knew that this guy was a slippery man, and he would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing on weekdays. Seeing him in a hurry, doubts arose in his heart. He definitely didn't look like he came to collect the medicine in person. "Doctor Wu, I found you a big deal!" Liu San was so excited that he patted Wu Qi's shoulder as he said, "When it comes to medical skills, Doctor Wu, you are one of the best in the world. Don't miss this opportunity!"

"What big deal?" Wu Qiqi asked. Liu San was so excited that he was a little out of breath, and Wu Qi was even more confused, so he had to wait for Liu San to calm down and talk briefly, and then he understood the general idea. It turned out that through business relations, Liu San accidentally learned that the old man of Zhou Zhou's family in the town had a strange disease and was seeking medical treatment everywhere.This week, the boss is not an ordinary person in the local area. Even if he goes to the county town, he can be seen as a facade. He belongs to the first batch of people who got rich through the spring breeze of reform and opening up. The household is very rare, but 10,000 yuan is nothing to him.

Liu San bragged about Boss Zhou's wealth, causing Wu Qi to frown and say, "With such good conditions, why don't you just send the old man to the hospital for treatment? Why bother?" Liu Sandao: "Oh! Look at our mountain road, the old man's body is not enough to toss! Boss Zhou said that whoever can cure the old man is not only easy to talk about money, but also promises to give it to Suolong Town to our village. Build a road in the area." After speaking, Liu San lowered his voice again, and said in a mysterious manner: "The most important thing is that this old man's illness is so strange that he invited many people to look down on him. I'm not the first to think of it." You two are gone!"

Speaking of this, Wu Qi was a little moved, not because of the money, but because of what Liu San said later.The root of being poor in the mountains is information blockage. What is the reason for the blockage?inconvenient traffic.Seeing the lights and telephones across the country, this poor mountain valley is still isolated from the world, and we live together with poverty as always. Although Wu Qi is in the period of concentrating on his studies at this time, and he has not yet reached the date he set in his heart, it is Wu Qi's principle to cure diseases and save lives. Moreover, with such good conditions, there is really no reason for him to shirk. , and immediately agreed to leave the mountain immediately.

The three of them walked for a long time on the mountain road, and arrived at the Zhou Family Courtyard in Suolong Town. A strong sense of contrast emerged spontaneously. The Zhou Family Courtyard was lined with buildings and covered with flowers and plants. It doesn't always seem so coordinated.Wu Qi is a person who has seen the world, but seeing the luxury of Zhou's house, he couldn't help admiring. Could it be that he only left the city for two years, and the outside world has undergone such earth-shaking changes? Boss Zhou was very busy with business and he was not at home. The person who received Wu Qi and his party was Boss Zhou's younger brother, Boss Tuesday.The second boss is also a typical businessman. He has quite a lot of experience in hospitality and knows people well. He has heard of Wu Qi's name, and when he saw Wu Qi and others coming, he immediately treated them thoughtfully.

Wu Qi was still puzzled. It seems that in the eyes of Boss Zhou, making money is more important than the old man's illness. Why can't people with such business sense not make a fortune!He barely took a sip of his tea, and immediately got straight to the point: "Where is the old man now? If it's convenient, we have to observe the condition directly." When Zhou Laoer heard this, he showed embarrassment and said: "This... I'm afraid you have to listen to me tell a strange thing first, the strange thing about my old man!" Wu Qi was taken aback when he heard this, and even Ghost Wu, who had been expressionless all the time, frowned.Knowing that several people were puzzled, Zhou Er Er continued to explain: "I'm talking about the strange illness of the old man. This illness has never occurred during the day, but every time it is at night...!" He paused after speaking, frowning I ordered an American Marlboro for myself, and a frightened expression crossed my face.

He took two puffs of cigarettes, and then explained the whole incident: Zhou's ancestors were not of good standing, they were capitalists, they were punished badly during the Cultural Revolution, and the old man of Zhou's family was almost tortured to death in the cowshed.After the reform and opening up, people went to the sea one after another. The Zhou brothers inherited the business wisdom of their ancestors. They started from reselling leather goods and wool to Russia. richest man. Once a person has money, his interpersonal relationship must be complicated. Boss Zhou usually travels all over the country and rarely goes home. The second brother Zhou is mainly responsible for the local business.The problem was discovered by Zhou Lao Er, who invited some buddies and friends to come to the house for a drink that night.After finishing the work, I turned around and prepared to go back to the house to sleep, when I suddenly found a dark shadow in the yard, walking in the yard in a daze.He was startled, thinking that his house had been burglarized, so he yelled loudly, and immediately picked up the shovel in the yard as a protection.

Unexpectedly, the black figure didn't respond at all, and still moved lightly without making a sound, looking like a ghost.Zhou Laoer was frightened immediately, and was about to shout loudly, when the shadow suddenly turned a corner, and under the faint moonlight, he suddenly realized that this shadow was none other than his own father! This made him very puzzled, what is the old man doing when he wakes up in the middle of the night?But seeing the old man's eyes glaze over, his walking was light and light, and he didn't respond to his yell just now, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that there was something wrong, but he didn't dare to wake him up rashly, so he simply followed.

The old man still walked straight to the back door without making a sound, and Zhou Laoer followed all the way. Seeing the old man skillfully opened the back door, he even quickened his pace and went straight all the way north.Zhou's second son was even more puzzled: Zhou's house was located next to the foot of the mountain, backed by the mountain, and beyond that was the endless barren mountains and ridges, let alone people on weekdays, even a mouse was rarely seen, the old man went there in the middle of the night What is that place for? Zhou Lao Er had seen the world and heard of the word nocturnal excursion, so he didn't dare to stop it rashly, lest it would drive the old man crazy.But at this moment, if Zhou Laoer wanted to stop him, he might not be able to stop him. The old man walked like flying, walking on the rugged mountain road like walking on flat ground. Zhou Laoer fell with a black nose and a swollen face. I was already out of breath.

When Zhou Laoer saw it, he was already at the top of the mountain before he knew it, and after climbing another mountain, he arrived at Guizizhang.The old man walked around a big tree several times, muttering to himself, not knowing what he was talking about.Soon, he selected an area and began to plan the ground with his hands, as if digging something. Hearing this frown, Wu Qi thought to himself that this old man has some weird necrophilia, isn't it okay to dig up other people's graves to find dead bodies to eat? The soil in this area is very soft. It is obviously not the first time it has been dug, but it was filled in shortly after it was dug before. Zhou Laoer suspected that this is not the first time for the old man to come here. , this time I happened to meet him.

The old man's movements were very agile, and he dug a big hole in a short while, and the whole person fell into the hole, and gradually there was no movement.Immediately afterwards, a faint fragrance wafted over along the night wind, apparently coming from the cave.Seeing that there was no movement at the bottom, Zhou Laoer hurried forward to take a look, and saw that a round hole had been dug in front of him for two people to pass through. Inside was a series of stone steps, which went very deep. , the old man must have walked down the stone steps. Zhou Laoer jumped down without hesitation, and went down along the stone steps. The passage was not too long, but it was obviously carefully decorated. No one knew that there was such a strange place underground in this barren mountain , how to look at it now feels like an ancient tomb.When they came to the end, everything confirmed Zhou Laoer's conjecture. This was a square stone room surrounded by bricks and stones, which seemed to be something from a certain age. In the center of the stone room, there was a white sarcophagus impressively. Seeing this, Zhou Laoer panicked in his heart, the stone room was very low, he could only bow his waist reluctantly, held up the flashlight and scanned the surroundings, looking for the trace of the old man.The strange thing is that the surrounding area of ​​the stone room is empty, and there is no trace of the old man at all, as if the old man suddenly evaporated here. Surprised and amazed, Zhou Er Er suddenly turned his head, caught a glimpse of the sarcophagus placed in the middle of the stone room, and immediately realized something, his forehead felt hot, and he broke out in a cold sweat.After he calmed down a bit, he mustered up his courage, stretched out his hand and lifted the lid of the sarcophagus with great effort, and saw the old man lying in the sarcophagus with something in his arms, sleeping soundly, as if nothing had happened, but the thing was not What corpse, but a strange puppet in red clothes. My mother!Does the old man feel tired of staying in the world and want to enter the coffin early?Why do you dig graves and get into coffins at night?Zhou Laoer is usually domineering and arrogant in the business field, but he has no clue when he sees this situation, and he is terribly afraid.He stared blankly at the wooden man hugged by the old man, and felt more and more strange. The wooden man stared at him with a half-smile.Zhou Lao Er kept getting goosebumps, and couldn't care about anything else at the moment, so he ran out along the stone steps, and ran back without turning his head.Suddenly, he felt that it was inappropriate to leave the old man here alone in this barren mountain and wild place, so he bravely squatted nearby to guard. At about four watch, the sound of stones moving suddenly came from the silent stone room. After a while, the old man climbed up the stone steps again, skillfully filled the excavated soil again, and blocked the hole. Returning home along the same road, he fell down on his own bed and continued to sleep soundly.
