Zhou Tong Detective Series

Chapter 49 Zhou Tong Detective Series III: Paper Burner (8)
Zhou Tong has never seen Chinese medicine since he was a child, and now this old man just uses his fingers to take the pulse. Could it be possible to find out the cause of the disease and restore his memory?Although he is well aware of the old adage that "a person should not be judged by his appearance", it is also hard for him to believe that the old man in front of him can help him.He originally wanted to scold Li Ying for this crazy girl, but he was concerned about the face of the old man opposite, so he finally shut up and just coughed lightly twice.

"Uncle Wang, how is it?" Li Ying asked nervously from the side.

But Uncle Wang looked serious, and still put his finger on Zhou Tong's wrist.

Although Zhou Tong didn't really believe in Uncle Wang's ability, seeing his frowning expression, his heart still tightened.

Uncle Wang suddenly let go of Zhou Tong's wrist, stepped forward and grabbed his chin.Li Ying was also taken aback by this sudden attack, Zhou Tong instinctively wanted to avoid it, but it was too late.

"Don't move!" cried Uncle Wang.

Zhou Tong saw that Uncle Wang didn't mean to hurt him. Although it was very uncomfortable to be grabbed by his jaw like this, he tried his best to cooperate.

"Open your mouth and stick out your tongue." Uncle Wang said in a blunt tone.

Zhou Tong had no choice but to open his mouth and stick out his tongue.

"Miao Gu, it really is Miao Gu!" Uncle Wang withdrew his hand, and sat down on the chair with a haggard look.

When Zhou Tong heard what Uncle Wang said, one can imagine the shock in his heart.A young man from the Miao family who came across by accident in the jungle once told him that his amnesia was due to Chen Xiang's "mindlessness Gu".The hospital used almost the most advanced instruments and various methods today, but it was impossible to determine Zhou Tong's condition, but this Uncle Wang just took a few minutes of pulse for him, glanced at his tongue, and said that he had been hit. Miao Gu is simply unbelievable.

"Sure enough!" Li Ying looked at Zhou Tong's expression and knew that Uncle Wang's diagnosis was true, otherwise Zhou Tong's reaction would be too strange.Thinking that he finally found the right person, he immediately smiled triumphantly.

"Wang... Uncle Wang..." Most of the doubts in Zhou Tong's heart have long since disappeared, "I've heard people say that this kind of seedling Gu is a 'Mindless Gu', I wonder if you can restore my memory, Uncle Wang... "

Before Zhou Tong finished speaking, Uncle Wang stood up, shook his head, and said, "There is nothing we can do."

"Uncle Wang, you can't ignore it. It's about human life. If you don't cure my friend, I'll follow you!" Li Ying said in a half-coquettish and half-rogue "threat".

As soon as Uncle Wang thought of Li Ying's extraordinary means, he made the family run wild, and he hadn't closed his eyes for almost two days. When he met this girl, he could only admit that he was unlucky, and had no choice but to sit down again.

Seeing that Uncle Wang was so afraid of Li Ying, Zhou Tong couldn't help being amused, but thinking of what happened to him back then, he also sympathized with this old man.

"Is there any difficulty for Uncle Wang?" Zhou Tong asked tactfully.

Uncle Wang snorted, and said in a lecturing tone: "What do you two dolls know! The treatment of seedling Gu is extremely dangerous. If there is a slight mistake, your life will be gone. Now you just have amnesia, and there is no danger of life." , why bother."

"Uncle Wang, you have also seen my current situation. If the memory cannot be restored, the truth about this murder case will not be known, and I have a friend who may also be in danger, so even if there is a danger of life, I will never back down either." Zhou Tong's words came from the bottom of his heart.

"Uncle Wang, what is this seedling Gu? The professors in the hospital are helpless. You...you really have a solution?" Although Li Ying did not doubt Uncle Wang's medical skills, but Zhou Tong's life was at stake, she still couldn't help it. Live said.

Uncle Wang's face was really displeased when he heard this, and he said bluntly: "Western medicine knows nothing! It's only a hundred years of history, and it's okay to treat some minor diseases. You must know that our Chinese medicine has gone through thousands of years, and it is profound and profound. But rejuvenation is not a problem, it’s just that there are too many bullying people in the field of Chinese medicine, and there are very few people who really understand Chinese medicine, which makes Chinese medicine worse than before and is misunderstood.”

When Uncle Wang said this, he couldn't help but sigh.

Zhou Tong doesn't know much about Chinese medicine, and he can't comment on Uncle Wang's words, but whether he can recover the memory of those seven days, the old man in front of him is his only hope.

"Most people today think that Miao Gu is just something in legends, but it is not true. Miao Gu does exist, and it originated from Miao medicine. Speaking of which, Miao medicine is actually a branch of my Chinese medicine. Originally, the technique of Miao Gu was used It came to cure diseases, but it was only spread later, and it was mostly used by people with bad intentions to harm people. I just saw related records in some ancient Chinese medicine books. Miao Gu is an extremely rare species in the Miaojiang area. Gu worms come to perform spells. These Gu worms are controlled and trained by the caster with drugs, and then they are planted in conjunction with the meridian and five elements. Contains emptiness in the middle, strong in the middle, the five elements are chaotic, and there are bloodshots on the tip of the tongue." Wang Bo eloquently said, like a few treasures.

It's just that in Zhou Tong's ears, every sentence is shocking.

And Li Ying was busy verifying Uncle Wang's words. Although she didn't know how to take the pulse, she could read it, so she immediately forced Zhou Tong to stick out her tongue again. Sure enough, there were several bloodshots on the tip of his tongue.

"Uncle Wang, it's not that I don't believe you, but with...with those Gu worms, can my memory of seven days disappear?" Zhou Tong couldn't believe it.

"If the person who planted the Gu planted the Gu in your brain for seven days and activated the Gu worm, then it is very likely that your memory of those seven days will be erased. The memory of these few days can be erased by using the drug within a few days. This kind of drug is like the nerve drug called by Western medicine, but the nerve drug can only confuse people's mind. Compared with this kind of thing, it is just a child's disease. " Wang Bo explained.

"This is too amazing!" Li Ying was amazed at the side.

Zhou Tong was also skeptical, but he couldn't find any other more reasonable explanation for his bizarre amnesia.

"Uncle Wang, hurry up and help him cure it." Li Ying didn't want to study the mystery any more, the most urgent task now was to cure Zhou Tong's amnesia.

"Here? That's not allowed!" Uncle Wang looked at the policemen outside the door and shook his head quickly.

"Where is that going to be?" Li Ying pursed her lips.

"The treatment of Miaogu requires the preparation of traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture at the same time. It takes a few days, and there are many dangers in it, so a quiet place is necessary." Uncle Wang looked at Li Ying, dumbfounded.

"No problem, I'll go to Sister Yongjie, she should have a solution." Li Ying said carelessly.

"Yan Yongjie...she...where is she now?" Zhou Tong thought silently.

Section 10 Acupuncture and Moxibustion
The night in the jungle is beautiful and weird. The bright moonlight shines through the sparse green leaves and sprinkles to the ground bit by bit.The sound of shovel digging in the depths of the jungle not only broke the tranquility here, but also startled the flying birds to scatter.

Yan Yongjie held the shovel tightly in both hands, evenly and powerfully scooped up the soil under his feet, and drops of sweat exuding a faint fragrance rolled down.Jin Dan opposite her was also holding a shovel, and was also digging, but Jin Dan would sneak a glance at Yan Yongjie from time to time, and every time he saw Yan Yongjie's charming face and delicate skin, he smelled her The seductive aura emanating from his body will make his heart beat more violently than usual.

With a "click", the shovel seemed to hit something special, and made a harsh collision sound.

"I've dug it up, really...do you really want to open the coffin?" Jin Dan showed a nervous expression on his face.

"Find out the bones that were buried that year, and only then can you confirm whether the Ai Chen you mentioned back then is the same person as the missing Ai Chen!" Yan Yongjie forced Jin Dan to take her here in order to find out Ai Chen's true identity. To dig a grave.

Jin Dan really didn't agree with Yan Yongjie's thoughts, and in the eyes of the Miao family, digging people's graves was really disrespectful, so this time he came with Yan Yongjie, he felt very uneasy.

"Don't be offended, you three. We are here to disturb you in order to help you find out the truth." Jin Dan folded his palms together and bowed three times before jumping into the pit.

Yan Yongjie also jumped down, and the two finally opened the coffin together.

But the coffin was empty and there was nothing.

"Did you see the three corpses buried with your own eyes?" Yan Yongjie looked at Jin Dan suspiciously, because judging from the situation of the cemetery, it has not been excavated before, that is to say, no one moved before them. over the coffin.

"I..." Just as Jin Dan wanted to argue, he suddenly thought of something. Back then, because he was afraid, he only saw three corpses laying beside the cemetery for burial. He really didn't see the whole process with his own eyes, but that "Ai Chen" was indeed Died in my arms, could it be...

Jin Dan couldn't help the cold sweat on his forehead.

"Do you still remember who was responsible for burying them?" Yan Yongjie asked bluntly.

Jin Dan shook his head and said, "I only know that they are three migrant workers hired by the police. As for their specific situation, we may need to investigate further."

When Yan Yongjie heard this, her heart immediately turned cold. There were still four days before Zhou Tong's court date, and it would be impossible to make it in time if the investigation continued like this.

"Are you still worried about that friend of yours? I know you are eager to reverse the case for him, but...according to the evidence that our police have so far, he is extremely suspected of murder..."

"No! It is absolutely impossible for Zhou Tong to kill someone!" Yan Yongjie said firmly.

Jin Dan was at a loss for words for a while, but suddenly a strong jealousy burned in his chest, he even looked forward to Zhou Tong going to jail, although this kind of thinking is very despicable.

It was already the next morning when Li Ying found Yan Yongjie.

"What did you say?" After hearing Li Ying's words, Yan Yongjie almost thought she was crazy.

"Sister Yongjie, you believe me, using the method of Chinese medicine will definitely restore Zhou Tong's memory!" Li Ying said swearingly.

"It's not that I don't believe in Chinese medicine, but...but now that it's entered into the judicial process, it's impossible to get Zhou Tong out of the detention center." Yan Yongjie herself is the inheritor of ancient Chinese boxing. She also learned acupuncture, acupuncture points, and meridians from her grandfather. , these things are somewhat related to Chinese medicine, but getting Zhou Tong out of the detention center is another matter.

"Then you have to find a way to help Zhou Tong." Li Ying didn't dare to be tough on Yan Yongjie, so she had to show her other skills and said with tears in her eyes.

How could Yan Yongjie not want to help Zhou Tong? She was more eager to save Zhou Tong than Li Ying, but she couldn't act willfully like Li Ying.

"There is no way, but I'm afraid I have to wrong Mr. Wang." Yan Yongjie said here and glanced at Wang Ke who had been standing behind Li Ying without saying a word.

"Wang Lao has a warm heart, and he will never mind!" Li Ying laughed through tears.

Wang Ke looked at Li Ying's back, turned his head helplessly and let out a "hum".

"I can find a way to arrange a larger cell for Zhou Tong, but I have to work hard for Mr. Wang to go to the detention center to treat him..." Yan Yongjie really couldn't think of any other better way, and doing so was really embarrassing for this An old doctor, so she couldn't help but hesitate when she spoke.

Wang Ke's face turned ugly, but Li Ying immediately leaned over, took his arm, and said sweetly, "Uncle Wang, thank you for your hard work, I will help you buy a box of 80 years old later." Moutai, I would like to condolences to you old man."

Wang Ke, who was originally tense, immediately turned rosy when he heard a box of 80-year-old Moutai, his eyes became brighter, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Physicians naturally want to help those in need, and this trivial matter is nothing to worry about."

Yan Yongjie couldn't help grinning when she saw the appearance of the old and the young.

It is said to be a larger cell, but in fact, it can barely accommodate three beds horizontally, Zhou Tong sleeps in the corner on the right, and Wang Ke also moved into this cell with bottles and cans.Because of Yan Yongjie's intervention, Wang Ke's actions are not subject to any restrictions except that Zhou Tong cannot step out of the cell.However, the police force outside the cell has been greatly increased, and every time Wang Ke enters, he needs to conduct a strict search.

Under such circumstances, Wang Ke began to treat Zhou Tong.

There was nothing special about the treatment method. Wang Ke personally tormented herbal medicine for Zhou Tong three times a day in the morning, afternoon and evening, and then gave him acupuncture.During this period, Yan Yongjie came to visit many times. She originally wanted to ask Zhou Tong about the situation, but after taking Wang Ke's traditional Chinese medicine, Zhou Tong fell into a coma, so she just stood quietly by the side, a little worried and sad, But it's more about hope, hope that Zhou Tong can recover his memory after waking up, explain the whole thing clearly, clear up his grievances, and at the same time... At the same time, he can also untie his knot.

Because of her status, Li Ying couldn't enter the cell to visit Zhou Tong, so she was like an ant on a hot pot every day, waiting for any news about Zhou Tong.Three days is actually not a long time, but to her, it seems like three centuries have passed.

Finally, it was the third day, and on this day, Yan Yongjie brought Li Ying with her to the cell where Zhou Tong was being held.

Wang Ke is doing acupuncture for Zhou Tong for the last time.A total of thirteen silver needles were pierced into various acupuncture points on Zhou Tong's brain in turn under Wang Ke's quick and accurate technique.

Acupuncture is a unique Chinese method of treating diseases.It is a treatment method of "treating the inside from the outside".Through the functions of meridians and acupoints, as well as the application of certain manipulations, diseases of the whole body can be treated.And superb acupuncture techniques pay more attention to the acupuncture points, order, priority, severity, and depth of acupuncture. If there is a slight difference in it, it will not only fail to cure the disease, but may even threaten the life of the patient.

Yan Yongjie is also well aware of the serious relationship, so she repeatedly told Li Ying to keep quiet and not to affect Wang Ke's acupuncture.

Wang Ke kept moving the thirteen silver needles on Zhou Tong's brain with his fingers. As his movements became faster and faster, sweat appeared on Zhou Tong's forehead, and the corners of his mouth began to twitch non-stop, as if experiencing Great pain.

Seeing such a scene, Li Ying on the side couldn't help but grabbed Yan Yongjie's hand nervously, and Yan Yongjie also held her breath.

Wang Ke suddenly slapped Zhou Tong's back neck like lightning with his right palm, and thirteen silver needles popped out immediately and scattered on the ground.

Zhou Tong only felt the qi and blood surge up, and his head was dizzy for a while, and with a "wow", he spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Zhou Tong!" Yan Yongjie and Li Ying rushed forward in unison, supporting Zhou Tong from left to right.

"Don't worry, the seedling Gu is broken!" Wang Ke wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Sure enough, there were some black bugs the size of rice grains struggling and wriggling in the pool of blood where Zhou Tong protruded.

Seeing these disgusting bugs, Li Ying's stomach churned and she almost vomited.

Zhou Tong seemed to wake up from a deep sleep, and Yoyo opened her eyes.

"Zhou Tong, are you okay?" Yan Yongjie looked concerned.

At this time, Zhou Tong felt as if his head was going to explode, and many messy pictures kept flashing, but it was like a dream, or more like a hallucination. When you want to fix one of the pictures, it seems like fishing for a moon in the water , nothing.

"Zhou Tong, did you remember anything?" Li Ying looked at Zhou Tong's confused eyes and couldn't help asking.

"A lot of fog...Agarwood...and Grandma...Miao Village..." Zhou Tong just repeated these words, as if he couldn't think of anything else.

"Old Wang...he...what happened to him?" Yan Yongjie looked at Wang Ke in a hurry and asked.

Li Ying is not as patient as Yan Yongjie. Seeing that Zhou Tong has not improved much, she immediately loses her temper, pointing at Wang Ke and shouting: "What disease are you treating? If he doesn't recover, I will never end with you." !"

Wang Ke's face flushed with anger when Li Ying robbed him of his whiteness, but he had no choice but to puff his beard and stare.

"Li Ying, don't mess around!" Zhou Tong came back from the daze, and when he heard Li Ying's words, he immediately scolded, "Although my memory of those few days is still very chaotic, it's not as blank as before. "
