"Yeah, it stinks like eating canned herring. Come on, hurry up..."
At the intersection of Traditional Chinese Medicine Street, Hou Liangbing was wearing takeout delivery clothes. Not only was he wearing a hat, he was also wearing a mask. He was standing at the corner of the intersection, keeping his head lowered for fear that others would see his similar appearance.
People passing by could smell the fishy stench emanating from his body a few meters away. They couldn't help showing disgust, holding their noses and hurried away.
Hou Liangbing lowered his head to dodge, and finally saw Jiang Minghao coming out on an electric bike. He immediately ran over. Jiang Minghao was startled and immediately braked to a stop. He looked at the package and couldn't see his face, but he recognized him as a takeaway.
Little brother Hou Liangbing.
But there was a foul fishy smell emanating from his body, which was stronger and more unpleasant than the last time Jiang Minghao saw him.
Just like when you go to the beach and smell the strong fishy smell of dried fish by fishermen, compared to that, the fishy smell emanating from Hou Liangbing's body is even more terrifying. Jiang Minghao frowned and couldn't help but cover his nose and asked: "
Liangbing, what's been going on with you recently? Why do you smell so fishy? Have you switched to seafood and selling dried fish?"
"I…"
Hou Liangbing pulled down his mask and looked nervous, as if he could not speak.
Jiang Minghao put down the hand covering his nose and said to him: "If you have anything to say, just say it. Don't be secretive. It just smells like fish. Why don't you just go home and take a shower?"
"It's not Dr. Jiang, I just want to ask you to come to my house." Hou Liangbing looked panicked, grabbed the front of Jiang Minghao's electric car and said urgently.
"Is someone in your family sick?" Jiang Minghao asked in confusion.
"Uh-huh."
Hou Liangbing nodded in panic, and Jiang Minghao saw the situation and said: "Okay, then you wait for a while, I will go back to get the medical kit."
"OK."
Hou Liangbing nodded, but then he pulled Jiang Minghao to the front of the car and said awkwardly: "Can you go alone? Don't bring anyone else with you?"
"Um?"
Jiang Minghao looked back at the nervous Hou Liangbing. Although he thought he was a little strange, he didn't ask any more questions.
After all, some patients had hidden secrets and didn't want others to know, so Jiang Minghao didn't think much, nodded and went back to the hospital to get the medical kit. Hou Liangbing rode an electric car and took Jiang Minghao back to the rental house where he lived.
In a rental housing village in Huangcaolang Town, Nancheng, Jiang Minghao rode an electric bike with Hou Liangbing for fifteen minutes before returning to the downstairs of the rental house where he lived.
"We're here, Doctor Jiang."
Hou Liangbing opened the rental door and asked Jiang Minghao to push the electric car in.
At this time, the elevator door opened, and several young men and women came down. They immediately covered their noses and looked at Hou Liangbing with disgust. Some even muttered and cursed: "It stinks to death."
These words made Hou Liangbing lower his head and Jiang Minghao, who was carrying the medical box, raised his eyebrows, but he didn't say anything.
Although Hou Liangbing smelled really strong and really unpleasant, Jiang Minghao didn't dislike it, thinking that he was working in aquaculture, so that's why he had this unpleasant smell.
"Let's go, Doctor Jiang." Hou Liangbing walked into the elevator, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Um."
Jiang Minghao nodded, followed the elevator, watched Hou Liangbing press the button for the fifth floor, and then said: "Can't you make money delivering food? Why do you still work in aquaculture?"
"I…"
Hou Liangbing hesitated to speak, lowering his head and not knowing how to answer.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Minghao raised his eyebrows, looked at the nervous Hou Liangbing, and asked, "Liangbing, do you have anything to say?"
"Um."
Hou Liangbing nodded, Jiang Minghao smiled and said: "Then just tell me, I won't tell anyone else."
Hou Liangbing raised his head, looked at Jiang Minghao and gritted his teeth and said, "Doctor Jiang, you have to promise that no matter what you see later, you won't tell anyone else, okay?"
Seeing Hou Liangbing's nervous look, Jiang Minghao said with a smile: "What, you have a treasure hidden in your home? It's very mysterious, I promise you."
"Um…"
When the elevator door opened, Hou Liangbing said no more and took Jiang Minghao out first. But then he saw a few people gathering at the door of his house. They were cursing: "It stinks, landlord, the 513 residents must be punished."
Drive them away."
"Yes, Landlord, smell how stinky it is. I live across from him and can smell it. How much salted fish did he put in his house to have such a strong smell?"
"Don't tell me you live across the street. Now the residents in the entire building can smell this fishy smell, which has seriously affected our daily lives."
"Landlord, you have to give us an explanation. You have to talk to the 513 resident. If that doesn't work, kick him out."
"Okay, everyone, calm down first. I'll open it and see how much dried fish is in it. It really stinks."
The middle-aged landlord also covered his nose and took out the key to room 513 in one hand to open the door, wanting to see what was going on inside the room.
Hou Liangbing was anxious when he came back and saw this scene. He immediately ran over to block the door and stopped the landlord, saying anxiously: "Boss, boss, you can't go in..."
"You're back."
The landlord looked at Hou Liangbing blocking the door and said dissatisfiedly: "What's wrong with you? Why is there such a fishy smell in the house? How much fish do you store?"
"Landlord, he's back just in time. Either let him move out or let him deal with the smell." The neighbors around them all covered their noses, glared at Hou Liangbing, and cursed unceremoniously.
Because during this period, the fishy smell coming from their house has seriously affected the lives of the surrounding neighbors.
"Get out of the way first, I'll go in and see what's going on."
The landlord held the door key, but Hou Liangbing stood in front of him and said in a panic: "Boss, neighbors, I'm really sorry, but don't worry, give me a few days, I will definitely handle it."
"How many days? I don't want to wait for a moment. Either you move out or open the door and let us see what's going on in your house?" A young neighbor scolded Hou Liangbing unkindly.
"That's right, if you move out, it will stink to death for us..." Other neighbors also shouted.
Hou Liangbing looked panicked and anxious. He gritted his teeth and said to the landlord and others: "Okay, I will move out tomorrow, but please give me a day. When I find a house, I will move out tomorrow."
"Okay, then I'll give you one more day."
The landlord nodded, and the neighbors gave up and went back one after another.
And Jiang Minghao frowned and walked over with a medical box. It turned out that the foul fishy smell came not only from Hou Liangbing, but from the rental house where he lived. The strong fishy smell made Jiang Minghao feel a little agitated.
It’s uncomfortable, let alone these neighbors.
"Liang Bing, what is going on with you?"
Jiang Minghao was also curious, could it be that his family had already opened a fish stall? But even the fish stalls in the vegetable market did not have such a strong fishy smell.
"Doctor Jiang, don't be afraid no matter what you see later, and don't go out and tell others, okay?" Hou Liangbing looked at Jiang Minghao and begged again.
"Well, the more you say that, the more curious I become."
Jiang Minghao was really curious, nodded and said: "Don't worry, I won't go out and talk nonsense."
"good."
Hou Liangbing took out the key, inserted it into the keyhole of the door and opened it.
Jiang Minghao looked curious, but as Hou Liangbing opened the door, the pungent smell of fish hit his face, making him frown and cover his nose. The smell was so sour.
As Hou Liangbing entered his room, the simple small living room was relatively clean. It could be seen that Hou Liangbing was not a sloppy character, and he was also single.
"Didn't you say there is a patient? Where is it?" Jiang Minghao looked at him and asked.
"Well, this way."
Hou Liangbing pointed to the closed room. Jiang Minghao smelled it and found that the fishy smell came from his room, so he followed him out of curiosity. Hou Liangbing gritted his teeth before opening the door and going in...
The huge fishy smell made Jiang Minghao frown and couldn't help but cover his nose before following Hou Liangbing in. Suddenly a huge bathing tub appeared in front of him, which made Jiang Minghao stunned for a moment.
But then, a very beautiful woman emerged from the water and patted a fish tail with blue scales. Jiang Minghao's eyes were filled with shock. He couldn't believe it and exclaimed: "Mermaid..."
