The sun had just warmed up and shone on my face, and I heard the sound of birds chirping in my ears.
Xu Yan suddenly woke up and found that he was sleeping in a pavilion in the park!
When I got up and came to the edge of the cliff, I could see that the fire in the Cheng family courtyard had been extinguished long ago. After all, one night had passed.
But why did I fall asleep? Why did I sleep here?
That man!
Xu Yan suddenly remembered what happened last night. The sloppy Taoist told him about the fire in the welfare home. In his excitement, he took a sip of the other person's wine, and then...he fell drunk?
It’s not that Xu Yan doesn’t drink. He also has a moderate drinking capacity. How could he drink it in just one gulp?
That person has a problem! How could the other party happen to mention the welfare home? Even if it was a coincidence, how could he not be curious about why he was interested?
After all, it had been more than ten years since that incident, and not many people might still remember it. It was strange for a young man to ask him.
Also, the Taoist actually mentioned the suspect and the details of his appearance?
Xu Yan was surprised and hurriedly left the pavilion and went down the mountain to find the other party!
There is definitely something wrong with him!
Xu Yan just raised his feet to run down, but was stunned when he saw the sloppy Taoist climbing up panting, still holding breakfast in his hand?
Xu Yan was stunned and looked at the other person doubtfully.
His energy and blood status are normal, and he looks like an ordinary old man...
"Hey, you're awake!" The Taoist raised his eyes and saw him, and greeted him with a smile, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have let you drink my wine. It was too strong. Did I make you confused with one sip?"
"Here, I brought you tofu pudding to relieve your hangover. If you don't wake up, I'll call someone to take you to the hospital!"
Xu Yan was very suspicious. This guy actually ran back. Was he confident or was he too worried?
After thanking him, Xu Yan recalled what happened last night and quietly checked. The insect nest crystal and the tube of cyan liquid on his body were all there.
At this time, the sloppy Taoist suddenly said: "By the way, you got drunk so fast last night, I forgot to ask!"
"Looking at you, you seem to know about the fire in the orphanage I'm talking about? How old are you? How do you know this?"
Xu Yan was even more confused. The doubts he had just thought of were overturned.
From watching the fire to talking about the fire last night, everything seemed to go smoothly. Could it be that I was just overthinking it?
After pondering for a while, Xu Yan raised his head and said seriously: "I am the child in the orphanage, one of the survivors back then!"
The sloppy Taoist's face trembled, then he regained his composure and exclaimed: "Good guy, is it true?"
"Oh, I asked you why you were interested. I asked you why you were upset after hearing this. You drank to relieve your sorrow. By the way, my wine is called Jie Qianchou. It's powerful, right?"
"..." Xu Yan nodded, wondering why this old man spoke so confusingly?
But the old man started talking and said with a smile: "No wonder you know me. Back then, the children in the orphanage often leaned on the railing to look at me!"
"It's really heartbreaking to say, what a wonderful group of children, what a wonderful group of adults, they were all killed by that fire!"
"I don't know how the fire started. They are all poor people, but they were bullied by God!"
Xu Yan was suspicious and frowned: "Taoist Master, didn't you say last night that you saw two suspects?"
"What the hell? Did I tell you?" The sloppy Taoist said blankly: "You remember it wrong, why don't I remember it?"
"???" Xu Yan was shocked, could he deny this?
"You really said that. You also said that you were beaten up after talking to the other party. One of them has a black mark on the left side of his face, which looks like a scar or a tattoo. It's very special!"
The sloppy Taoist's eyes widened, he thought for a moment and said seriously: "Did you drink when I was chatting with you last night?"
"I've been drinking, what's wrong?" Xu Yan frowned.
"That's alright!" the sloppy Taoist said with a smile: "I'm sorry, little brother, although I have a much better drinking capacity than you, I can't handle being too drunk. When I drink too much, it's easy to make up random things!
"
"Now that I'm awake, what you're talking about doesn't exist at all!"
"!!!" Xu Yan stared, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"The fire that year was really a pity, and I was also very heartbroken!" The sloppy Taoist apologized, "Since you were a member of the orphanage back then, little brother, you will definitely be blessed if you survive the disaster. Not bad, not bad!"
"Old man, I have a precious amulet, which can bring good luck and ward off evil spirits and improve luck in times of trouble. Are you interested, little brother?"
"..." Xu Yanren was numb. Could it be that this guy really drank too much and was bragging?
I saw him selling things many years ago. To put it bluntly, he was just deceiving people!
Xu Yan let out a long sigh. He thought that burning bloodworms would be regarded as a good deed, and he would be rewarded later on by discovering the clues from back then. But this is what happened?
"Come on one!" Xu Yan secretly smiled bitterly, he had to find out the truth himself, charlatans cannot be trusted!
But it was fate. I was given a drink and bought breakfast early in the morning to relieve my hangover. I was considered a good person.
"Okay! Little brother is really discerning!" The sloppy Taoist was overjoyed. He turned his hands and took out an obviously crudely made fake jade pendant from under his dirty Taoist robe, with some strange patterns carved on it.
"A thousand and fifty favors!"
"Are you trying to steal money?" Xu Yan felt the jade pendant. As expected, he was completely helpless. Hearing this, he was a bit dumbfounded.
The sloppy Taoist smiled sheepishly and said: "Don't worry about it so much. I can tell you are not short of money when I see how cool you are, little brother. Besides, the price of my Jie Qianchou is so high that you can't even buy it outside!"
Xu Yan gritted his teeth and was too lazy to talk to him anymore, so he transferred one thousand and five dollars via his mobile phone, put away the fake jade and left.
"Brother, be open! Add me as a friend!" The sloppy Taoist was overjoyed, "My fortune-telling skills are quite accurate, and the price is negotiable. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me!"
Xu Yan thought about it for a while, and no longer had any doubts in his mind, so he added the other party as a friend and went down the mountain.
But just as he was about to leave the park, Xu Yan caught a glimpse of his own hands and arms and suddenly froze.
That's not right. I took bloodworms last night and my hands were obviously covered with bloodline marks. Why are they gone?
Xu Yan was horrified. There were so many bloodworm evil spirits that were very dangerous to him. How could they disappear?
Is it contaminated with Qi and blood? Wouldn’t that mean he’s going to die?
He quickly sat aside to take a look, but Xu Yan looked a little weird again.
The blood was not contaminated by the blood nematodes, and everything was normal in the insect nest. It was just that the ones suppressed and stored on the arms disappeared and were refined!
But even for him, it is very difficult and time-consuming to refine so many marks on both hands. How could they disappear overnight?
The energy in the body has obviously increased by 10%, which is undoubtedly the result of the transformation of those evil spirits!
What happened in the middle?
Xu Yan was at a loss. After thinking about it, he felt that it was probably caused by some changes in the medical classics after he was drunk last night.
It seems that this is the only possibility, otherwise, couldn't it be the help of that sleazy charlatan?
Just kidding, that old Taoist, Chun Chun is just a wanderer!
In any case, it was a good thing that the evil energy in both arms was refined. Xu Yan walked easily and left the park.
On the hill in the distance, the slovenly old man looked at his back and sipped his drink. He shook his head happily and said proudly: "It's really good wine!"
At the same time, Cheng Qingfu returned to the main building of Zhishantang, his office occupying half a floor.
After getting some sleep and packing up, he looked at the office and planned to live here in the future. Anyway, the other courtyard burned down, and he and Cheng Qingtian also broke up and had no plans to go back to Cheng's house.
After all, most of the Cheng family's reputation now belongs to him, and a small part of it lies in that compound!
Just as I gathered my thoughts, the assistant brought a stack of information with a strange look on his face.
Cheng Qingfu frowned and stood up in surprise when he saw the information, "Linshan Town? In Baiyun County?!"
"Yes!" the assistant said cautiously: "I have confirmed with Vice-President Wang that it is the town where Xu Yan is a doctor!"
"President, there is one more thing...Vice President Wang's son Wang Minghao is paralyzed."
"Vice-President Wang has already visited our hospital, but there is nothing we can do. I would like to ask for help from the provincial capital hospital through you..."
Cheng Qingfu was shocked and angry. After a moment, he stared at the information in his hand and gritted his teeth and said: "Xu Yan, it's that Xu Yan again! It's the same Xu Yan!"
