Unexpectedly, the old man who begged for food was unusually calm. He bent down and helped the old lady up and said, "Please get up, madam. The master's illness is nothing. I guarantee that the medicine will cure it."

After hearing this, the old lady couldn't help but be overjoyed, her despairing and lifeless eyes suddenly glowed with light, and she quickly ordered her servants to pour tea and snacks for the begging old man.

The old man nodded in thanks, then walked gently to the bed, looked at Mr. Li's son who was already in a semi-conscious state, said nothing, and did not go up to feel his pulse. He just took out a crumpled book from his arms.

Pass it to Mr. Li.

Officer Li looked at the old man in surprise, wondering what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

"Master, take this book, sit by the young master's bed and read it loudly, while everyone else in the room will be quiet."

Li Yuanwai looked at the old man's determined eyes and expression, and asked no more questions. He took the shabby book and flipped through a few pages. This book was very strange. It was not a poem, a poem, or an article, but all of it.

Drug name!

Mr. Li glanced at the old man again in confusion. This time, the old man just nodded with confidence and said with encouragement in his eyes: "Please pause for a moment every time you read the name of a medicine." Mr. Li no longer hesitated.

Then he picked up the book and read aloud: "Cloves, star anise, ginseng, wild ginseng, red ginseng, raw sun-dried ginseng, ginseng leaves, catechu, gulixiang, nine-spice insect, sword bean, notoginseng".

The strange thing is that every time after reading a drug name, you can hear a "beep" sound from the stomach of Mr. Li's son, as if he is responding to it, but also as if he is provoking. This is the case every time he reads a drug name. There is no exception.

Everyone in the room, including Mr. Li, was very surprised. They couldn't figure out what was in the child's belly, but it seemed to be a living thing.

Li Yuanwai glanced at the old man and saw that his face was calm and incomprehensible, so he had to continue reading: "Three ribs, ginger, dried ginger, dried lacquer, elecampane..."

Every time Mr. Li recited the name of a medicine, the child's stomach would still make a "beep" sound.

Li Yuanwai continued to read: "Fritillary fritillary, soil vitex bark, soil poria, woodworm, thunder pills." Suddenly, when Li Yuanwai read "Thunder Pills", the "beep" sound suddenly disappeared.

Mr. Li was afraid that he had heard wrongly, so he quickly said loudly again: "Thunder Pill". The "beep" sound did not appear!

Mr. Li found it a bit strange that every time he read the name of a medicine, the "beep" sound would sound. Why did the beep sound disappear only when he read the name of "Lei Wan"?

Just when he was about to continue reading, the old man standing next to him suddenly waved his hand and said: "Okay, sir, that's all. Let me go to the drug store and grab some tired pills and bring them back to the young master to take."

After the medicine was poured down, the old man took off all the clothes of Yuanwai Li's son, and then made him lie naked on the bed. Everyone in the room watched attentively, watching the reaction of Yuanwai Li's son. No one could understand this.

What kind of tricks did the old man do? Suddenly, something strange happened - a worm slowly emerged from the vagina of Mr. Li's son! The first thing that came out of this worm should be the head, and there is also a "face" the size of a little finger.

, and the "face" actually has clear eyes, nose and mouth. Although these organs appear soft and floppy, they can still be easily distinguished. Then what comes out is a snake-like, snow-white body!

Several servants in the house were so frightened that they shouted "Oh my God" and rushed out. Outside the yard, all of them turned pale, panting, and were in shock. Two people vomited, one of them.

The person even peed his pants.

Fortunately, Mrs. Li couldn't see clearly because of her old age and bad eyesight. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous. Mr. Li has traveled all over the world and has seen a lot. He has never seen anything, but when he saw this scene in front of him, he was so frightened that he fell out of his chair.

He fell to the ground. He was stunned for a while before he regained his composure.

The calmest person in the room was of course the old man. He remained calm and calm, and calmly took out a small clay pot the size of a palm, pinched the worms, put them inside, and then closed the lid tightly.

At this time, I saw Yuan Li's son suddenly vomiting, and all he vomited was smelly green water. He was vomiting and crying, as if he couldn't breathe. The old lady ran over quickly and beat her grandson.

He stretched his back and shouted loudly and distressedly: "My poor child, are you feeling better? Are you still feeling uncomfortable? Do you want some water?"

The servants also came into the house, sweeping the floor and pouring water. They were very busy.

Looking at the child again, he had recovered from vomiting for a while, and his face gradually turned rosy. Soon, he seemed to be completely back to normal, and he kept complaining that he was hungry. Except for Mr. Li, Mrs. Li, and the servants, their worries turned into joy.

Especially Mrs. Li, when she saw that her grandson was out of danger, she danced with joy and she didn't know what to do - one moment she knelt in front of the Buddha statue and kowtowed a few times, the next she knelt down to the old beggar, and the next she ordered to reward everyone with money.

Of course Mr. Li was very happy in his heart, but besides being happy, he vaguely felt that this old man had an extraordinary background and was definitely not a beggar.

Mrs. Li ordered someone to take five hundred taels of silver and wanted to reward the old man. Unexpectedly, the old man refused and said that she was just a servant in the Li family. She also told the story of what happened in the restaurant.

I told Old Mrs. Li. After hearing this, Old Mrs. Li sighed deeply, as if she was mumbling to herself or saying to the old man: "I have said before that good deeds are rewarded with good deeds. Look,

My son still did the right thing. However, no matter what you do, since you have cured my grandson's disease, you are the benefactor of our family. What else should you do?

They are almost 70 years old, so if you don't mind, just stay in my house and give my son an elder."

After hearing this, the old man quickly raised his hands and said, "Thank you, madam. My old bones are still in good health, and I can't sit still. I'll do whatever I can."

When Yuan Wai and the old man were about to leave, Yuan Wai's son had completely returned to normal. After eating, he started playing happily with a few servants. The whole family was relieved.

The old lady repeatedly told her son to treat the old man as he would treat his benefactor, and of course Mr. Li repeatedly said yes.

When he came out of Mrs. Li's house, Mr. Li noticed that the sun was already setting. In the lonely and distant atmosphere of autumn, the afterglow of the sunset was even more warm and refreshing, which lifted people's spirits.

.

And what happened on this day was as bizarre and illusory as a dream. Mr. Li pinched himself hard. It hurt. It was indeed not a dream. Looking at the old man next to him, for some reason, he felt like he had survived a desperate situation.

He felt a sense of joy when he met this old man when he was in the most despair and pain. As soon as this old man appeared, he brought him great good luck - he miraculously pulled his dying son from the line of death.

Come over. This old man with extraordinary background must be his noble person.

Because there were already many servants in his family who had become the eyes and ears of Mr. Zhang and the foreigner, it was inconvenient for him to talk to the old man much. He just led the old man and walked quickly to his study.

Mr. Li's study was built in this big house in the middle of a lake. The lake is dozens of acres in size, and only the middle part is a "small island" made of stones and soil. The house

It is built on this small island, and the house is connected to the shore only by a regular wooden plank road.

Anyone who knows architecture knows that one of the biggest advantages of building a house in this way is to ensure privacy and security. Because on the wide water, it is almost impossible for someone to get close to the house without being discovered.

The Forbidden City is so large, but there is no tree, just to prevent people from hiding in the trees and launching sneak attacks. And the more trees there are, the more hiding spaces there are, and the more difficult it is to defend against sneak attacks, so a tree

None. In a wide area, the difficulty of defending against being plotted will be much smaller.

Another advantage of this lake is that it is used to extinguish fires. Because the houses at that time were all wooden structures, the biggest threat to the houses was fire, and the water in the lake was the biggest nemesis of fire.

In addition, the beggar old man also discovered that the water in the lake is very special - the water in this lake is not stagnant "stagnant water", because if you observe the water surface carefully, you can see that the water is flowing and the water can flow.

This means that the lake must be connected to the river outside. What is the benefit of this? If someone attacks from the wooden boardwalk on the shore, you can quickly use a boat to escape from the lake to the river outside, and the old man carefully

After some observation, there was indeed a wooden boat hidden on the lake covered with lotus leaves.

The design of this house is so wonderful, it must have the guidance of a peerless expert.

In addition, from the perspective of Feng Shui, mountains and water have a concealing effect on people, so the legendary immortals are either on fairy islands on the sea or in high mountains in the forest, making it difficult for people to detect and discover them.

There is a type of people in the world who are born with a sensitive "mind-reading ability". In English, there is a special word called "mind-reader", which is used to specifically refer to people with this kind of ability. And a person is in the crowd.

The longer you stay, the easier it is for these mind readers to spy on your inner thoughts. For those who live in deep mountains or isolated islands all year round, their consciousness is obscured by mountains and water and affected by the atmosphere of mountains and rivers.

There is no need to be spied on. Those who have lived on mountains or isolated islands for a long time can smell the special "human scent" of people when they first approach people.

Therefore, such a house surrounded by water can also effectively block the prying eyes of mind readers or people with predictive abilities. In this house, Zihong and Li Yuanwai met secretly many times, had affairs, and made plans to deal with foreigners and Zhang

It was for this reason that the Jews had not discovered him, because with the Jewish ability to foresee, he should have noticed it long ago. However, it was the special location of this house that made it difficult for the Jews to understand the psychological activities of Zihong and Li Yuanwai.

The feeling is the vaguest. When the Jews "observe" the hearts of other people around them, it is very clear. Only the psychology of Zihong and Li Yuanwai, the Jews always feel as if they are separated by a thick layer of fog. No matter how hard he tries,

Perception is all in vain. The only people who can enter this study are Li Yuanwai himself, Zihong, and an old servant who is Li Yuanwai's most confidant. If he often goes in and out of this house, he will be affected by the special feng shui of this house. Therefore,
