Chapter 14 Chapter Fourteen The Walking Dead

Since the Zhou brothers discovered that the old man had this strange problem, they simply locked the old man in the room at night, with iron doors and iron windows, so that ants could not crawl out.After a few days in a row, everything was normal (the old man doesn't get sick every night), the brothers of the Zhou family felt that this method was reliable, so they went to sleep with peace of mind. Unexpectedly, within a few days, the old man disappeared again. Still sleeping with the wooden man in the coffin of the ancient tomb on the mountain.What is even more surprising is that the door and windows of this room are still tightly locked, and the old man seems to have gotten out like air.

Zhou Lao Er took a deep breath on his cigarette while talking, with a depressed expression on his face. Obviously, this series of strange experiences made this shrewd businessman at a loss what to do at this moment.When Wu Qi heard this, he felt even more unbelievable. Together with Ghost Wu, he immediately asked to see the old man of the Zhou family. Mr. Zhou was locked in a room upstairs of Zhou's house. He lay half-lying on the wooden floor with dull eyes, his eye sockets were sunken, and his complexion was pale. When he saw someone coming in, he raised his head feebly to look at them.As soon as he entered the door, Ghost Wu frowned, shrugged his nose slightly, glanced around sharply and said: "No, there is a strange smell!".

Wu Qi was taken aback, and he also sniffed it carefully, but the kung fu on his nose was obviously not as good as Ghost Wu, and he didn't seem to have any special feelings. "What smell? What's wrong with you?" "Weird smell! It seems that someone died in this room!" "Has someone died?" Zhou Lao Er dissatisfied: "You doctor, don't talk nonsense, this room is clean, spacious and bright, with plenty of light, and it is usually the place where the old man spends his old age. Where did the dead come from? " "Could it be the walking dead disease!" Wu Qi suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help blurting out.

As soon as Wu Qi said this, I was taken aback. I had seen the same strange disease as Mr. Zhou when I was studying "Liu Ren Qi Fang" and other medical books donated by my master.This is a horrible disease called walking dead. Patients with this disease have completely uncontrollable behavioral consciousness, so that they will do all kinds of incredible behaviors.Unlike nocturnal travel, people with walking dead disease are not ignorant of their own behavior. Usually, patients have weird thinking, always believe that they have become a corpse, and have become accustomed to treating themselves as corpses , so as to make all kinds of creepy behaviors.

Some folk medical history books have records in this regard: In the 32nd year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, Li Shi, a concubine of a rich man in the outskirts of the capital, suddenly disappeared one day. After many searches but failed, the government was alarmed.In the end, they searched with all their strength, and found her in an exposed coffin in a deserted tomb. At that time, Li Shi had begun to rot in the scorching summer, and most of her body was already covered with corpse insects.But Mrs. Li did not die. She woke up amidst the crying of her family members. As soon as she regained consciousness, she found that she had rotted to the point where only half of her body was left. Guan almost ended her suffering with a knife.After the argumentation of famous doctors at that time and the investigation of officials, it was confirmed that Mrs. Li suffered from a strange disease called walking dead.

Regarding this kind of strange disease, Wu Qi not only saw one record, but he could encounter a real case in reality, which he never expected. He didn't know the cause of this disease, but now he has a lot of interest . Hearing this, Zhou Er Er was frightened out of his wits, and added tremblingly, "You two! Is the old man really suffering from such a strange disease? You don't know, we have worked so hard to treat the old man!" Wu Qi stretched out his hand to signal him to stop, Ghost Wu followed the smell and walked straight to Mr. Zhou.When Wu Qi saw this, he also felt extremely strange: Mr. Zhou was the only one in the room, and the smell could only come from him. Could it be that Mr. Zhou was already terminally ill and entered the state of a corpse?Although there is a record in the strange book, Wu Qi still has some doubts about this kind of thing. At the moment, Ghost Wu's discovery confuses him and feels a little tricky at the same time.

"We guessed right, the old man has exactly this kind of disease, and this smell is the proof, if this goes on...!" Wu Qi looked at Zhou Er Er, and expressed his worries, Zhou Er Er was very smart that day , quickly understood Wu Qi's meaning, and asked for countermeasures in a panic. Wu Qidao: "To cure a disease, you must start from finding the cause. Now I want to know the reason why the old man got this disease, that is, before getting sick, has the old man been to any place, has he come into contact with any strange things, or has he come into contact with anyone? accurate information!"

Zhou Laoer looked distressed and replied: "This is our old man's own business. He is old, and he likes to sneak around and catch fish. Our sons can't follow him around all day long." run!" Wu Qi thought to himself that these two brothers of yours might not be filial sons and grandsons, and if you ask more questions, you probably won't be able to find anything, so he and Gui Wuyi decided to find some causes of illness from Mr. Zhou first.The two went through the procedure together, and quickly opened a note, asking Zhou Laoer to prepare according to the above. Soon, everything was ready. Zhou Er and his family's relatives and friends washed Mr. Zhou's body and soaked it in a wooden bucket filled with hot water. Wu Qi prepared the acupuncture tools and started the preliminary treatment.

"Liu Ren Qi Fang" and other medical books do not record the method of completely curing walking dead disease, because the medical theory is inherently complicated and complicated, and it will never be followed step by step.Mr. Zhou leaned forward in pain, his eyes sunken, it was due to the lack of marrow sea, the primordial spirit will be exhausted and lead to mental abnormalities, the initial diagnosis and treatment of this disease should remove toxins from the entrance of Anmian, Neiguan and other acupoints, and dredge the marrow sea Tao, the primordial spirit of nourishing the brain.

But Wu Qi inserted a few needles, and it took a long time to see that Mr. Zhou had a slight reaction. The water in the tub turned into light green ink like bile. Soon, a large bucket of clear water turned into light green ink.Wu Qi knew that this was the toxin he expelled, so he asked Zhou Erer to change the bucket of clean hot water again, and continued to give injections. This was repeated several times, until it was dark, and the stains did not appear anymore, but the old man His consciousness didn't recover much. "Is this the smell?" Wu Qi asked Ghost Wu, frowning, looking at the dirty water that had dissolved the stains.Ghost Wu didn't make a sound, just shook his head slightly, also frowning, it seemed that the matter was obviously more serious than imagined.

Seeing the situation, Zhou Laoer also realized that something was wrong, so he stepped forward and asked tentatively, "You two! Is my father cured of his illness?" Wu Qi replied: "To cure the old man's illness now, ordinary methods will not work. The method just now can't cure the symptoms but not the root cause, it cannot be eradicated!" Zhou Laoer said: "I understand, I understand! Doctor Wu, as long as you two cure my father's disease, you can pay whatever you want, and someone from Zhou promises that no one in the ten miles and eight towns will dare not give two. It's convenient!" Wu Qi couldn't help laughing bitterly when he heard this, but this guy really thought he was asking for the price, and he insisted that a businessman is a businessman, and the torrent of reform and opening up has baptized you so thoroughly so quickly, you can be regarded as an advanced element of that era . "Boss Zhou, this is not a question of money. What I mean is that if the cause is not found, the disease cannot be cured at all. This requires our cooperation!" "Cooperation? What kind of cooperation method, just say it!" Wu Qi said: "The old man got this strange disease, it's not his own fault, there must be something causing trouble, we have to find out the troublesome thing first, the best way at present can only be this way, otherwise the old man won't be able to get rid of that thing. We cured it this time, there is no guarantee of the next time!" Zhou Lao Er was still a little confused, Wu Qi continued: "Why does the old man go to the cemetery in the barren mountain every time? The problem may lie in that!" Hearing that Zhou Lao Er had only opened his mind this week, he quickly understood, and suddenly Frightened. "Doctor Wu, what do you mean... We have to make the old man fall ill again? Follow him to that cemetery?" Wu Qi was waiting to nod his head in affirmation, when Gui Wu, who was still watching Mr. Zhou, suddenly shouted, turned to Wu Qi and said, "No, there is something new, please see what it is!"
