Chapter 138

With a scream, Pockmarked Li immediately fell to the ground, his face painfully covering his fingers and rolling.

I was a little relieved and finally woke up

At this time, the door of the antique shop was opened, and the old beggar couple rushed in. Seeing the miserable scene, they couldn't help screaming and staring at me.

I said angrily, "what are you looking at? Can you help me quickly?"

They just react, hurriedly subdue the fat man, and then ask me what happened?

"The things in the fingers are too strong for me to deal with. All the people are injured. We have to send them to the hospital as soon as possible." When I finished, I took Erkui and Pockmarked Li to the car.

Then he told the old beggar to stay in the shop and look at the fat man. The old beggar agreed with fear.

When he arrived at the hospital, Erkui was awake and found that his fingers were missing. The whole person was shouting like crazy.

After the doctor sedated him, he finally calmed down and was pushed into the operating room.

The injury of Pockmarked Li is OK. After a few stitches, it's OK.

I sat on the bench of the hospital with a gloomy face, and I couldn't stand such a blow!

I did not expect my careful preparation, but in exchange for a wounded and a disabled end.

What on earth is hidden in the trigger finger? It's so powerful?

Thinking of this, my heart suddenly became restless. Would it be too dangerous to leave the old beggar couple to watch the fat man in the shop? In case of any more casualties, how can I explain to their families?

The more I think about it, the more anxious I am. Finally, I decide to rush back to the store first.

Originally, I wanted to let Pockmarked Li stay in the hospital for one night, but at least to eliminate inflammation before leaving. But Pockmarked Li didn't trust me and insisted on going back with me.

When we got back to the antique shop, we found that something happened!

The lights of the antique shop are still on, but the shop is quiet. There is no sound at all. When I look inside from the door, I can't find the old beggar couple.

Strange. What about them?

It's reasonable to say that the fat man looks like this. It's impossible for the old beggar to leave at will.

There was a sense of foreboding in my heart. I stood at the door and shouted, "old man, are you in there?"

The answer to me is dead silence.

I took a look at Pockmarked Li. Pockmarked Li was also scared. Thinking about it, he said, "will the old couple go to the hospital to find us?"

"Fat people will go crazy at any time. Did they go to the hospital?"

"In case it's a taxi." "I think we'd better go back to the hospital!" said Pockmarked Li

"No way." I refused without hesitation. What if the old beggar is in danger? I can't wait to die.

So I took a deep breath, took out the key and opened the door.

But the moment I opened the door, it made my hair stand on end. My whole back was wet with fear.

The living room is empty. There is no trace of the family of three. And in the middle of the living room, that is, on the coffee table where the wrench is put, there is a big sticky liquid that wraps the whole table, which is disgusting.

The mucus seems to have corrosive effect, which has corroded many small holes in the fiberglass coffee table.

My first reaction was, is this mucus sulfuric acid?

But the faint, fish like smell reminds me that it's not sulfuric acid.

I cautiously walked over, picked up a bucket of water, washed the mucus on the tea table a little bit, and found that the mucus was like snot, which could not be washed out.

What the hell is this mucus? How can I run to my shop.

Where is the old beggar's family? I don't know Is it digested by this mucus?

This idea makes my scalp numb and reminds me of Er Kui who is still in hospital. No, er Kui is in danger!

Thinking of this possibility, my face turned pale in a flash. I immediately told Pockmarked Li to wait for me here, and I hurried to the hospital.

Fortunately, the doctor told me that Er Kui was being treated in the intensive care unit, and that the injury was under control. There was no life risk.

I was relieved and just wanted to go back to investigate the origin of the mucus.

But then a little nurse ran out of the ICU with a panic expression and stammered that the patient who had just broken his finger had disappeared.

A large living person, in broad daylight, will disappear in the intensive care unit?

I was surprised and asked the nurse to take me to the ICU.

Sure enough, er Kui's bed is empty.

"What's the matter with your hospital? My friend will disappear in front of the public. How do you treat the patients?" I was so depressed that I put all my anger on the doctor's head.Doctors and nurses are also confused. After all, the ICU is tightly isolated from the outside world. There is no window, only an iron door, and you can't enter without swiping your card.

I asked them to hurry up to find someone, and I went back to the antique shop exhausted.

As soon as he entered the door, Pockmarked Li came up. Looking at his mourning face, I knew that something must have happened again!

"Brother Zhang, the table was eaten..." When Pockmarked Li saw me, he stammered.

"What?" I was dumbfounded and thought I had heard it wrong.

When Pockmarked Li told me that the glass fiber reinforced plastic tea table in the living room had been corroded by mucus, I was stupid.

What exactly is that mucus?

How is such a large tea table eaten.

The fat man suddenly has a big appetite. If he wants to eat anything, will it have something to do with the mucus!

The family, strange and ancient, mysteriously disappeared. But in the process, I couldn't help anything. I felt very guilty watching them killed.

I'm confused. I don't know if I want to continue the investigation?

At the moment, I know better than anyone else that if I give up the investigation, it has nothing to do with me. No one can live, no body can die, and the police will not find me.

But if I really don't care about it, do I kneel to the old beggar?

Can you live up to your original promise?

Thinking about it, I still can't make up my mind. I just sit in the living room and stare at the disgusting mucus.

I asked Pockmarked Li, what should we do? Do we ignore it or check it out?

After a moment's hesitation, Pockmarked Li asked me, "don't you Yin merchants have a rule? Or you can stay out of it. Once you do, you'll be in charge for the rest of your life. "

I look at Pockmarked Li: "you mean Let's move on? "

Pockmarked Li nodded.

"Good." I nodded at once, firming the faith in my heart.

But what should I do next?

So the parties are all missing, even the jade ring finger. We have no clue at all. We can't find out.

Finally, Pockmarked Li gave me an idea. It's better to find out the identity of the family and go to their hometown!

I suddenly remembered that the old beggar had opened a room in a nearby hotel. Since he had opened a room, the hotel must have registered their ID card.

I hurriedly took Pockmarked Li to the hotel. After I asked for the address on my ID card, I drove there.

The old beggar's house is not far away from us, that is, four or five hours' drive. After crossing a long mud field, we finally came to a small town along the river.

It's been a small town for years. There are billboards with stinky dried tofu and farmhouse eggs everywhere.

Although it was in the daytime, there was no one on the only road that could pass. It seemed to me that the whole town was full of moisture.

This Qi makes my heart more uneasy
