Chapter 5
With a slight smile, Lan Di changed the subject: "The snow muscle soup is warming on the stove. Ying'er, you stayed up late last night, drink some to restore your complexion."

"Okay. By the way, look at the corpse I caught." Shui Ying took out the copper coins and released the headless female corpse.

Abi jumped on the table and picked up the peanuts on the plate.

Shuiying likes to eat peanuts, which are always available in the medical clinic.She can eat it whenever she comes.

The female corpse stood motionless.

Lan Di inspected the gap in the female corpse's neck: "It's quite smooth, and it can be said to be a decapitation with one knife. To this extent, a very experienced executioner is required, and the knife must be good enough. There are cervical vertebrae in the human neck. If the knife is not good or the strength is not enough, it cannot be done." arrive."

Shui Ying understood: "Can you tell whether he was chopped before death or after death? If it was before death, this would be a murder case."

"Before she was alive." Lan Di picked up the sleeves of the female corpse and looked at her wrists: "There are traces of binding on her hands. She must have been tied up hand and foot, and she watched the knife fall. As for whether it was man-made or demonic, it's hard to say. Exorcists have some skills. It can also be done.”

Abi played with peanuts with her paws: "It was said that he died for 20 years. Can you still see traces on the body?"

"An ordinary corpse will turn into bones after 20 years. This corpse is extremely well preserved. I guess she was refined not long after her death. Her nails and hair are still growing. Please help Ying'er, it is definitely not an ordinary corpse." Lan Di picked up a cloth and wiped his hands.

After wiping, he threw the cloth into the nearby stove and burned it.Lan Di sat at the table and peeled the peanuts: "Has she killed anyone?"

Shui Ying shook her head: "Isn't it strange? No matter how you look at this look, you feel that it is extremely vicious. But she was not stained with blood evil spirit, but she attacked me last night. Someone took her head specifically to suppress her soul. Or Yes, sacrifice.”

Lan Di placed the peeled peanuts on the table.

Abi lies down comfortably and eats when she wants to, and plays with her paws when she doesn't want to.

"It seems that an exorcist is involved. I don't understand the details. I'll put the banknotes away." Lan Di took away the banknotes, stood up, put them in a wooden box, and took out his account book to record them.

Linglongtang's entire food and clothing expenses and purchases were all handled by him.

"Doctor Lan, is Doctor Lan here?"

A woman's voice came from outside.

Shui Ying immediately took the female body back into the copper coins.

Lan Di put down his pen and packed the box.He opened the curtain and went out, and was a little surprised to see the visitor: "Miss Xue."

"Doctor Lan, it's good that you are here. My young master is injured, please come to see me. The consultation fee is negotiable." Xue Hongqing said anxiously.

"Okay, wait a moment." Lan Di went back and told Shui Ying.Qi Yang has packed up the medicine box and handed it over.

"Let's go." Lan Di took the medicine box and went out first.Xue Hongqing felt at ease and quickly followed.

Shui Ying opened the bead curtain and stood at the door, hesitating for a moment: "Abi, go and watch. Don't let A Di get into trouble."

"Put it on me." Abi jumped in the air and climbed to the roof several times.From the roof of Linglong Hall, passing through the branches of locust trees, it leads neatly to Zhiyun Hall.

At that time, Lan Di had just entered Zhiyun Hall.

Abi entered the house with light steps, from the roof to the beams.

In the master bedroom of Zhiyun Hall, there was endless wailing.Lan Di put the medicine box on the table, turned around and went to see the patient.

Xu Yi was lying on a red sandalwood bed, his face as red and swollen as a steamed bun.

He was in pain all over and dared not move, so he could only howl: "Ouch! It hurts so much, Juyi, hasn't the doctor come yet? Master, it hurts so much, it hurts so much, it hurts so much..."

Liang Juyi stood beside the bed worriedly and comforted: "Master, Hongqing went to ask the doctor and he will be back soon."

Not saying it was okay, Xu Yi started to complain again: "Why does it take so long to hire a doctor? Do you want to hurt me to death? Oh, you are going to rebel, you are going to kill me. I will definitely fly away in six months after I die. Snow, severe drought for three years..."

"Doctor Lan. My young master..." Liang Juyi was always worried that his master might be up to no good.

Xu Yi turned his head and his eyes widened, and he quickly covered himself with the quilt: "Landie?! Hongqing actually invited you."

Lan Di sat beside the bed and pulled away the quilt: "You are the patient and I am the doctor. Isn't it natural for Miss Xue to invite me?"

Xu Yi choked at these words and didn't know what to say.He endured the embarrassment and let Lan Di take his pulse and look at his wounds.

I just want it to end quickly.

"Skin injury, nothing serious." Lan Di stood up, took out a porcelain bottle from the medicine box and handed it to Xue Hongqing.

She caught it with both hands and felt relieved.

Lan Di said with a smile: "Apply externally. The results will be seen in a few days."

Xue Hongqing nodded in agreement.

Xu Yi had mixed emotions: "Doctor Lan, it's not difficult to start your own business with your medical skills. Why do you have to live in Linglong Hall? Everyone knows that Shui Ying is jealous of money. She must have stolen all the money earned by the medical clinic, right?"

"The world only knows that Ying'er loves money. But they don't know why she loves money." Lan Di lowered his eyes, "When the medical clinic first opened, we didn't have enough money and couldn't buy many medicinal materials. A patient came to see him. I have a serious illness. I need valuable medicinal materials."

Xue Hongqing felt sorry.

Liang Juyi sighed slightly.

Lan Di's tone was very light: "Ying'er traveled around, trying her best to find all the medicinal materials. Only the most expensive ones are the same, and we can't afford them. The master who collects them is willing to sell them, and that's a price that makes us daunting."

"What happened next? Judging from Shui Ying's temperament, she must have snatched or stolen the medicinal materials." This was how Shui Ying looked in Xu Yi's eyes.

Lan Di smiled and shook his head: "Then we watched the patient die. Ying'er said that the patient was right, and the person selling the medicinal materials was also right. What was wrong was that we had no money and could not do anything to save the lives we were supposed to save. From then on From now on, she worked very hard to make money.”

Earn money to buy medicinal materials and provide medical supplies to poor people.Ever since Lan Di met Shui Ying, he had only seen her cry that time.I raised my face and wept silently, for my own helplessness, for the fragility and loss of life.

There are also the patients’ gratitude and comfort before they die.

It’s not about regretting it once and then forgetting about it.But every time they think about it, they still feel pain in their hearts: It would be great if they had money back then...

A penny stumps a heroic man.Shui Ying no longer wanted to experience the pain of having no money, and she no longer wanted to see the lives that could be saved disappear little by little.

Lan Di closed the medicine box and put it on her shoulder to leave: "After seeing the doctor, it's time for me to leave. Shenghui 20 taels."

"A bottle of medicine costs 20 taels?" Xu Yi was shocked.What medicine?How much does the medicine for bruises cost? Why does it cost 20 taels?

"You also need to pay for chatting. It's a small business and we don't accept credit." Lan Di smiled and extended his hand.

"..."

That appearance is exactly the same as Shui Ying.Xu Yi waved his hands speechlessly: "Give it, give it to him."

Xue Hongqing asked Lan Di to wait outside, handed the medicine bottle to Liang Juyi, and told her to apply the medicine carefully.

Liang Juyi took it, took it away and smelled it, it was quite refreshing.Xue Hongqing went to get the silver coins, while Lan Di stood waiting in the courtyard.

Abi jumped down from the eaves and landed on his shoulder.

"Ying'er asked you to come?" Lan Di grabbed Abi's chin.

Abi squinted her eyes and raised her head, stroking and touching her.

Xue Hongqing took out the money and said, "My young master has caused trouble for you. I hope you don't mind."

Lan Di smiled and nodded, took the silver and left.

Xue Hongqing saw her off politely, and when she arrived at the gate, she saw people from the Feng family.

I was so busy that I forgot about the guests.

She immediately went up to him: "Steward Feng, why are you leaving in such a hurry? We haven't had a good talk yet..."

"What are we talking about? We've been sitting here for a long time without even saying hello to anyone. Is this how you treat guests?" Feng Shun, the steward, was quite angry.

I went to call an exorcist, but they didn't pay any attention to me.Except for a few cups of tea, the real owner never showed up.

Xue Hongqing hurriedly explained: "My young master had an accident. But don't worry, we won't delay your affairs."

"I don't need you for my master's affairs. Huh." Feng Shun walked away with his sleeves.

Xue Hongqing chased them to the door and found that they were heading straight to Linglong Hall.Lan Di nodded lightly and turned to go home.

"Oh, there's business. I can't make enough money, I can't make all the money at all. I guess I'll stay up late at night. A Di, I also want to drink Xuejitang."

"Okay." Lan Di was helpless and gentle.

After the business went to the other side, Xue Hongqing turned around and went back to tell Xu Yi.

Liang Juyi was applying medicine to Xu Yi, and his clothes were half off.

Xue Hongqing hurriedly turned her back: "Master, the people from Feng Mansion have gone to the other side."

"Oh. Huh? Feng Mansion? The guest you mentioned before? Why did he run to the other side?" Xu Yi was shocked.

"We were busy with your business, young master, and forgot about the guests. They felt neglected and chose to replace them." Xue Hongqing said cautiously.

"Who should I change, but Shui Ying?" Xu Yi punched the bed angrily.The injury was stretched, causing him to gasp in pain.

Xu Yi struggled to get up: "No. Help me over. How could she take away my business?"

The two couldn't persuade them.

Xue Hongqing and Liang Juyi had no choice but to change Xu Yi's clothes and help him go to the opposite side to fight for a chance.

Linglong Hall.

After Lan Di came to see the doctor, Shui Ying scooped up a bowl of Xuejia soup that was warm on the stove.She was sitting in the hall drinking, and the loud shouts came from far away and came closer.

"Xiaoying, Xiaoying, are you in the house? Xiaoying..."

Shui Ying raised her head and looked at the door, knowing this loud voice was all too familiar.

Pan Ling appeared at the door with her hands on her hips and said proudly, "Xiaoying, so you are here. I thought those detectives would make things difficult for you. It's great to see you're okay."

Entering the house, Pan Ling sat down next to Shui Ying.She is good-looking, with thin skin and tender flesh. She especially has two pear dimples around her mouth when she smiles.

Shui Ying took the teapot, poured a glass of water and handed it over: "Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Pan Ling sipped her water happily: "Can you pay this month's rent a few days later? My family hasn't received their wages yet."

"Why are you delaying wages again? Is there something wrong with the boss? If you find something is wrong, tell him. It will be fine if the rent is slow." Shui Ying agreed.

"Okay. Thank you." Pan Ling drank the water in one gulp. "I'm not worried that the child is still at home. I'm going back first."

Shui Ying nodded and walked slowly.After such a delay, the soup became a little cold.She got up and planned to warm up.

By chance, Lan Di accompanied Feng Shun and others in.

Shui Ying put down the bowl and stepped forward: "Who are these guests?"

Lan Di invited them to sit down, gave them a brief introduction, and then poured tea and water.When the sun rises, it calls out that there is a patient.

In response, Lan Di left to let them talk.

Feng Shun was very satisfied with Lan Di's hospitality and started talking after taking a sip of tea.

He frowned and said, "The house has been a bit uneasy recently. There is a strange mirror that eats people, and handsome men disappear one after another. Some people say they saw the monster in the mirror with their own eyes, a monster that eats people."
