Chapter 53

The couplet at the top of the door can solve people's thousands of worries, and the lower couplet can't worry passers-by. It flattens a word horizontally. This is the front of our store. It was decided after a long discussion between Jiang Yilong and me. Although it is a little simple, it contains a lot of information. Of course, in order to attract other people's attention, we deliberately use seal script for these words.

After staying in Chongqing for several years, I finally have a career of my own. I always feel that Jiang Yilong and I have a bright future. I believe that before long, we will be able to return to the village in a beautiful way. As we said when we left the broken temple, we will erect a monument and repair the tomb for our master and his old man.

When doing business, we all pay attention to a good start and a prosperous business. However, the business we choose to do really doesn't respond to this situation. It's impossible to expect something to happen at someone's home. After opening for two or three days, we didn't see anyone enter our store except the boss and clerk who were doing business nearby. And these people who had been curious to come nearby never set foot in our store again because they felt unlucky.

"Younger martial brother, you see, you see."

"Regret?"

"There's no regret, but we've been open for three days. None of us has come here except the three of us. I think this business is difficult and too difficult to do."

Bai Ling said, "what's the hurry? It's because you don't have a name. Think about it. If you don't say anything else, take this white matter first. How many people are there in Chongqing? There are people who die of illness and death every day. What will happen if these family members come to you for aftercare?"

"Li is such a reason, just..."

"Don't just, didn't you ask me how to deal with those monsters in the ancient tomb last time? I'll tell you now that your Taoism is not enough. Even if I say a way, you can't use it. It's better to take advantage of now to understand the Taoism left by your master. When I think you have this ability, I will put aside this door and tell you how to use it."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true."

"Well, well, that's settled."

Jiang Yilong has been nagging since the store opened. Now, hearing Bai Ling say so, he immediately ran to take the Tao book for details. I gave Bai Ling a thumbs up in the dark, which meant that she was clever and could stabilize Jiang Yilong. With Jiang Yilong's mouth stopped, there was not even a sound in the shop, which made me feel a little uneasy. I even wondered if I really chose the wrong way.

At this time, the phone in dianzi suddenly rang. Up to now, only Hu Qingguo and others know the phone. In the past half a month, we also had several phone calls. They also knew that we opened the store and did this business. We originally wanted to celebrate, but when this business could not open, we still put some flower baskets outside the store. So, in the end, it's just a congratulation on the phone.

Bai Ling said excitedly, "is there business coming?"

I shrugged and motioned Bai Ling to answer the phone. She quickly put the milk tea she had just bought aside, picked up the phone and said a few words like the politeness of others' stores. But after these two sentences, the joy on her face sank, handed me the phone and said softly, "it's Chen Qing."

As soon as I heard the name, I immediately thought about it. Although I haven't met their people during this period, I have made several phone calls. Putting aside the courtesy on the phone every time, I'm actually very worried about Hu Qingguo. After all, Hu Qingguo got a move in the ancient tomb. That's the case now. Maybe the so-called body spots will go wrong. But according to Hu Qingguo himself, although there are so many strange body spots every day, it doesn't affect his physical condition. Moreover, he made a special trip to a large hospital for a thorough examination. Finally, even the doctor didn't say anything unusual. Therefore, Hu Qingguo didn't take this matter to heart during this period. However, even so, I know very well in my heart that when Hu Qingguo is busy and fully prepared, he will go to Taoyuan village again.

"What's up?" seeing Bai Ling shaking his head, I quickly answered the phone and joked, "it's brother Chen. My shop has been open for a few days. Are you my first customer?"

"Bah, bah, bah, no kidding. I'm fine. I called you because Mr. Hu told me. Besides, I think maybe only you can do it," Chen Qing said.

"Mr. Hu, what is he looking for me?"

"Well, now hurry and bring things, which are necessary for you Taoists, to the Hu family's old house."

"What the hell is going on?"

"I can't say a few words on the phone. You'll know when you come."

Chen Qing then hung up the phone, but I was stunned. But after listening to Chen Qing's tone and these short words, I realized that something really happened to the Hu family's old house. Then, I told Jiang Yilong about it, and finally let Bai Ling and I go to his store.

Chen Qing's work is also a little hasty. He doesn't tell me what happened on the phone. However, I really put some necessary things into the yellow cloth bag as he said.

When we arrived at the Hu family's old house, Chen Qing still greeted us outside the courtyard. I hurriedly said, "brother Chen, what's the matter?"

"I don't know, but Mr. Hu can't help it now. I'm looking for you. I don't think you can think of a way."

"What happened to Mr. Hu?"

"It's his father, Mr. Hu."

"Master Hu?"

Chen Qing was impatient and still didn't say what it was. Then we went directly into Hu's house. But what he took us was not the living room, but Hu Yixuan's bedroom.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw several familiar faces in the room, Hu Qingguo, Fu Hongshan, and Hu Yixuan, who was a little older than Hu Qingguo and whose appearance and outline were very strange. In addition to the three of them, he was lying on the bedroom bed. When I fully noticed Hu Yixuan on the bed, I couldn't help feeling a burst of panic. Half a month ago, Hu Yixuan was still red and energetic. I didn't want to lie down in bed now. The skin on his face was loose and old, and his two eyes were completely sunken. To say a bad word, it's really no different from people dying.

Hu Qingguo said, "Xiao Qi is just in time. Come and have a look."

The stranger said, "Qingguo, is he the one you're looking for?"

"Brother, he is my friend. He has real skills. I think he can have a try."

When Hu Qingguo said this, I immediately knew that the person I had never met should be Hu Qingwen, the eldest brother Hu Qingguo told me before. On the way to Taoyuan Village, Hu Qingguo and I talked about Hu Qingwen when we had a boring chat. According to the mouth of Hu Qingguo, he and Hu Qingwen are half brothers. The age difference between them is about seven or eight years.

At this point, I have to mention the Hu family. Hu Yixuan married Hu Qingwen's mother in his early years, and later gave birth to Hu Qingwen every year, but after two or three years, an accident took Hu Qingwen's mother's life. Later, Hu Yixuan married his secret lover back and gave birth to Hu Qingguo. Maybe God couldn't get along with the Hu family. Hu Qingguo just turned one year old, and Hu Qingguo's mother accidentally lost her life again. Finally, Hu Yixuan may have understood something and had no idea of getting a wife. As for the two half brothers, it may really be because the blood flowing from their bodies is not exactly the same. They have been at odds all the time. If Hu Yixuan were not still alive, Hu Qingwen might have been tempted to mention the separation.

I nodded at Hu Qingwen, but this guy may have high eyes. He snorted at me and immediately turned his eyes away. I don't think there's anything wrong with it. I hurriedly said to Hu Qingguo, "little Hu, didn't Hu get well half a month ago? Why are you so ill now?"

Maybe the atmosphere in the room was not very good. Hu Qingguo pulled me out of the door and immediately said to me, "strange, too strange."

"Mr. Hu, speak slowly. I'll do my best if I can help."

"You also came here half a month ago. You can see my father's physical condition at that time." seeing my nod, Hu Qingguo said: "But it's strange that just a week ago, my father suddenly fell ill with a bad cold. Wang Ma informed me as soon as she found out about it, and I immediately sent my father to the municipal hospital. The doctor said that the weather had changed recently, the cold and heat had alternated, and my bones couldn't stand it. As soon as I heard that the disease was no big deal, I asked the doctor to treat it. A day later, the high fever subsided, but my father still coughed It kept coughing and bleeding. But it was strange that even after several experts in the municipal hospital were ill, they always couldn't find the cause. I thought it might be that these bullshit experts had limited medical skills, so they sent my father to Shanghai overnight. But finally, after the diagnosis, the experts in Shanghai big hospital not only didn't find out the cause, but also gave us a critical notice. "

I said, "how could this happen? Lord Hu's body is very strong. Even if he gets cold, he can resist it according to his physical condition."

"I know that too. But in fact, my father's situation is getting worse and worse. Later, my father said he might have to go, but even if he had to go, he still wanted to be at home, so I sent my father back."

"There's a reason to get sick. There's no reason for it," I said.

Hu Qingguo said, "as you said just now, it's impossible for a good person to get sick without any reason. Therefore, I came to you today in the hope that you can help."

I said, "I did know the medicine and diagnose the disease with master before, but these are small problems. Moreover, what I can do is superficial. Even experts can't diagnose the cause and cure Mr. Hu. I don't have that ability."

"No, no, no, listen to me. My father's disease is too strange. If Sanwa hadn't reminded me, I didn't even think of it myself."

"You mean brother Fang? What did he say?"

"It's likely that my father's disease is not illness, but evil."
