The whole process lasted nearly two hours until the incense plaster was completely dry and pasted on Hu Qingguo's left leg. I asked them to get enough gauze and wrap his left leg with gauze again.

"Is the glutinous rice porridge ready?"

"Right away, right away."

Before that, Hu Qingguo knew that he had half stepped into the gate of hell, which not only disturbed his life, but also made him collapse physically and mentally, so that he knew that he was about to leave this flashy world. Therefore, he had a state of mind of anorexia and even disgusting everything. However, just now, he completely changed this negative attitude. When Liu Dafu's cooked glutinous rice porridge was slightly cooler, he swallowed it in a few bites.

Hu Qingguo wiped his mouth, looked at me and said, "what's next?"

I said, "that's the only way for the time being. Now you can feel some pain in this leg, which can be regarded as a 20% effect. Next, you have to wait a little longer to see if the corpse poison can be discharged. However, brother Hu, let me tell you first that this method may be a temporary cure rather than a permanent cure."

Hu Qingguo nodded and said, "I know. How long will it take to see the effect again?"

I said, "two hours. If my method is really effective, that is, it can temporarily control the corpse poison, and the degree of ulceration of your left leg will slow down. If this method continues for a long time, the injury will recover in a month or two."

Hu Qingguo said, "that is, we only need to solve the problem of body spots at that time?"

I nodded.

"But even if this method works, we still need to wait two months?" Fu Hongshan answered.

Hu Qingguo gave him a white look and said, "your brain can't turn this corner. By the way, I forgot to tell you that you didn't prepare in vain before, and Xiao Qi has promised."

Fu Hongshan patted me on the shoulder and said, "brother, that's interesting."

What I did was as like as two peas and Hu Qingguo said. I just hope to delay the control of the corpse poison invasion, so that the ulceration speed of his left leg will slow down and buy us a little more time.

It was already 4:00 p.m. when I was finished with Hu Qingguo, I wanted to go home. I didn't know whether Hu Qingguo was worried or something else. Although the tone was euphemistic, it virtually forced me to stay in the courtyard. I thought about it, but it didn't matter. Anyway, I'm also an idle person now. It doesn't matter. I just stayed in the courtyard as arranged by Hu Qingguo.

Several big men had nothing to do. In order to pass the time, I played poker with Fu Hongshan and Chen Qing for several hours. Liu Dafu went out according to Hu Qingguo's instructions, saying that it was to reward me and get me a richer dinner.

The three of us have been playing since we left Hu Qingguo's room. Since it's playing cards, of course we have to talk about money, otherwise it's too boring. However, we played a small number of notes. We played gold flowers, with a bottom of five and a maximum of 100. As a result, when I was about to have dinner, I counted the record. Chen Qing won more than 3000, and I lost the least. It looked like more than 500.

When Liu Dafu brought rice and tea to the table, Hu Qingguo's wife drove and parked in the courtyard. Until she got off the bus, I didn't know the woman's last name. I quickly took Fu Hongshan by the shoulder and asked again. Only then did I know that her real name was Tao Hong.

Fu Hongshan shouted to them. "Sister Hong."

"Sister Hong." I also agreed.

Tao Hong smiled at us. She came straight to me and took out a bulging red envelope from her bag and stuffed it. "Thank you for your trouble."

I seemed a little caught off guard and didn't know whether to take it or not.

Tao Hong said, "take it."

I smiled and said, "isn't it more than half a month from the new year, sister Hong? It's too early to crush the red envelope."

Tao Hong said, "it's not crushing red envelopes. Take it."

This is a big red envelope. It's a big lump. Everyone knows that the weight inside is not light. Tao Hong gave me a red envelope for no reason. I don't have the cheek to accept it. Just as Tao Hong and I pushed each other around, Hu Qingguo dressed neatly but came to the door. Maybe he listened to our voice just now and said, "Xiao Qi, you can't buy my face. Don't you even give my daughter-in-law's face? You know, even I listen to my daughter-in-law when I have big things."

I looked a little embarrassed, but after calming down a little, I soon understood that this must be Hu Qingguo's meaning.

"Well, I'll have the cheek to take it. Thank you, sister Hong and brother Hu."

The five of us sat around, eating and drinking. We talked happily on the table and tossed about for more than an hour.

It was nearly ten o'clock in the evening. Hu Qingguo recruited me and said, "Xiao Qi, is there a result now?"

I just drank some wine on the table and my mind was a little confused. "What's the result?"

Hu Qingguo lifted his left leg. At the moment of lifting his leg, the muscles on his face twitched and shouted a pain. Only then did I understand what he meant. I hurriedly took him to the place with bright lights, and Fu Hongshan followed him as if they were curious. The moment Hu Qingguo lifted up his trouser legs, the original snow-white gauze was dark to ink, and it was accompanied by a stench.

I said, "it works."

"Really?"

Hu Qingguo seemed a little excited. He untied his belt and took off his trousers to his ankles in front of all of us. His uncivilized way is really difficult for people who don't understand the inside story to accept. But we didn't care about these at the moment. Our eyes fell on his left leg. We saw that the gauze from the root of his thigh to his ankle was all infected by the exuded black blood.

Chen Qing said, "is it that those corpse poisons have been discharged?"

I said, "yes, but it's not. The reason why I say yes is that the corpse poison is discharged from the body. As for why I say no, it's because the corpse poison has been hidden in brother Hu's body for too long. Now it can only be regarded as fur. Secondly, I also told brother Hu that my method can only cure the symptoms and can't completely cure the disease."

Tao Hong said, "brother Qi, you can think of another way. As long as you can cure my husband, I will promise you no matter what you ask."

I was stunned and said, "sister-in-law, don't force me."

"All right, all right, I know what to do about my business. Xiao Qi has been very helpful. Otherwise, my leg still can't feel any pain." Hu Qingguo motioned to Tao Hong and said, "go home first. I'll tell you what's going on."

Tao Hong pursed her lips and wanted to say something. She hesitated for a long time and looked at Hu Qingguo. Finally, she said goodbye to me and drove away.

"Happy, I've never been so happy today." Hu Qingguo laughed happily. "Xiao Qi, to tell you the truth, I don't think you have great skills until now. You see, all the major hospitals in Chongqing and the so-called famous medical experts can't cure it. As a result, you can find a way. Xiao Qi, you are not only my brother, but also my noble man. You can pull me back from the edge of death."

I said, "brother Hu, you hold me high."

Hu Qingguo said with a smile, "no, No. come on, come with me."

Hu Qingguo dragged me to his room on the second floor and asked Liu Dafu to give me a cup of tea. After Liu Dafu withdrew from the room, Hu Qingguo looked a little strange and said, "Xiao Qi, you may not understand what I feel when I step on the gate of hell."

I haven't experienced great storms, but at least I have experienced several unforgettable things. Moreover, at the same time, I have stepped into the gate of hell several times, so I quickly replied, "I know, I know."

"You may know, but you don't know me." although Hu Qingguo was happy to have two drinks at dinner, according to his drinking capacity, a little wine won't make him drunk. "You know my family situation." seeing me nodding, he said, "in fact, it doesn't matter if I die. It doesn't matter. The key is that I don't want anyone to see my jokes. Moreover, I'm still a person who has half a blood relationship with me."

I was a little stunned. Seeing Hu Qingguo's appearance, it really didn't look like he was drunk. He pulled me up at this time and talked about some private secrets, which made me really embarrassed. The extent of the relationship between people is not a word on the surface, but in the heart. In my heart, before I came here today, I always insisted on breaking off contact with Hu Qingguo, just because I know that we are not people in the world, and his way of life is completely incompatible with our way of life. The so-called close brotherhood before was all promises on the mouth, and there was no superficial relationship in the heart. The only thing I want is to cut off this connection as soon as possible.

However, at this time, I found the sincerity in Hu Qingguo's eyes and facial expression, a sincerity I had never seen before.

I said, "brother Hu, why don't you rest first? It's getting late anyway."

Hu Qingguo handed me a cigarette. He lit it for me and himself. He huff and puff and said, "I've been blocked in my heart for a long time. I can't find anyone who can say a word from my heart."

I said, "don't you have a sister-in-law?"

"She... Well, she's one, but how can I tell her directly if there are some words." Hu Qingguo took a cigarette and said: "Xiao Qi, before you came today, I really felt that I was going to die and was completely hopeless. However, I didn't think it was worth my death. I didn't care about others, but I cared. I didn't want to see my family see my jokes."

"Hu Qingwen, you've seen it, and you've seen it several times." seeing my nod, Hu Qingguo said: "Nominally, he is my half brother. Although he is not close to me to that extent, at least half of his blood relationship. At least I grew up with him. However, he regarded me as a disaster when he was young and an enemy when he grew up. He wanted to fight against me in everything. Take jubaozhai for example. My father deliberately left it to me. He fought openly and secretly for it three times and four times, If my father hadn't come out at last, the jubaozhai wouldn't have fallen into my hands, but at the same time, he got no less than me. Money and these things are external objects, which is not worth mentioning. The key is that he has a crush on my woman. "

I was surprised and said, "sister Hong?"

Hu Qingguo did not respond and said to himself: "I've known Tao Hong for more than three years. I chased her after her. But when I was preparing to talk about marriage, Hu Qingwen intervened. It was nearly half a year for this matter alone. Fortunately, Tao Hong had me in mind and finally chose to be with me. However, if I suddenly died at this time for some reasons, such as my current situation, I would die Will everything fall into Hu Qingwen's hands, even Tao Hong? "

Every family has a difficult Sutra. How dare I continue to mix this kind of thing? After all, I'm just an outsider. I quickly stopped and said, "brother Hu, don't worry. As long as it's possible, I'll never give up. It's getting late. You take a rest first, I'm tired, and then I have to make some necessary preparations..."
