The years of reselling the haunted house

Just now Zhong Tianhai pushed his son's bed, and he didn't come out after getting in.There was finally some movement in this meeting, and the few of us stopped talking, and looked nervously at the door.

Zhong Tianhai pushed the bed board again, and slowly walked out from inside.

Zhong Xiaofeng was lying quietly on the bed, while Zhong Tianhai's expression remained the same, and nothing could be seen from his face, whether he was happy or sad, and he didn't know whether his treatment of Zhong Xiaofeng was effective.

We didn't leave, Zhong Tianhai wasn't very surprised, he just glanced at us, and pushed the bed back to its original position.

Ouyang stepped forward and asked with concern: "How?"

Zhong Tianhai smiled miserably: "Fortunately, the dog's life should not be lost, and one life was saved, but..."

With that said, Zhong Tianhai lifted the sheet covering Zhong Xiaofeng's body.Several of us looked up together.

I saw that the calf of one of Zhong Xiaofeng's legs had been amputated, and the other calf was obviously a spliced ​​leg after re-stitching.The skin color of that calf was different from his original skin color.

Not only that, Zhong Xiaofeng's body also has multiple skins that are also spliced ​​together. Since the colors of those skins are all different, it looks like his body has been patched a lot.

Seeing our surprised expressions, Zhong Tianhai smiled wryly and said, "I can't help it, Xiaofeng's injury is too serious. In order to save my life, I can only dismantle other people's bodies and put them back together. Fortunately, my medical skills are not bad." Well, the surgery was a success."

Ouyang nodded and said: "It seems that Mr. Western medicine technology is also outstanding, and the reputation of integrating three medicines into one is really well-deserved."

Pang Dahai asked: "What is the integration of three medicines?"

Ouyang explained: "Mr. Zhong is a combination of traditional Chinese medicine, western medicine and ghost medicine."

Chapter 744 Survivor

Zhong Tianhai smiled: "Mr. Ouyang's praise, this is also thanks to the blood of this little brother, otherwise, even if I have the ability to reach the sky, I'm afraid I won't be able to recover. Here, I thank you for my son."

Saying that, Zhong Tianhai bowed to me with an extremely humble attitude.

This is very unusual for Zhong Tianhai, who has always been arrogant and conceited, so I nodded in return.

But when Zhong Tianhai talked about the process of treating his son, I had a question, so I asked him: "Mr. Zhong, where did you get the materials you used to splice your son?"

I mean, his son Zhong Xiaofeng's condition is so bad, not only the body's skin is necrotic, but he also said that some of the internal organs and nerves have also failed.Then, if he wanted to rebuild Zhong Xiaofeng's body, almost all the dead parts and organs would need to be replaced.Although I don't know medicine, I also know that it is impossible without sufficient living body supply.

So where did Zhong Tianhai get so many living bodies?

And it happened that we had just counted the number of corpses lying here outside, and there were more than a dozen people who were not here.Could those people have been killed by Zhong Tianhai, or had their body organs removed?

If that's the case, what Zhong Tianhai did was against humanity, and both humans and gods were outraged.It's also extremely unfair to those people.

So the tone of my speech just now was a bit unfriendly, and it naturally brought out a little questioning element.

It may be that Zhong Tianhai is grateful to me for donating my own blood and saving his son.So he didn't pay too much attention to my tone, just nodded and said: "You have seen the corpse here, then please come with me, I will show you something else."

With that said, Zhong Tianhai turned around and walked towards the direction facing the wooden door.

We also followed behind him, Zhong Tianhai came to the front of the cave wall, stretched out his hand and patted it a few times.There was a hole in the wall of the cave.

It turns out that there is a secret door here, but because the door is made of stone, it is integrated with the mountain wall, so when the fat man and I checked it, we didn't find it.

Zhong Tianhai led us in.

As soon as I entered, I felt a special smell here, like some kind of traditional Chinese medicine after being boiled.The smell of medicine permeated the entire cave.

We still didn't understand the purpose of Zhong Tianhai bringing us in, so we just looked around each other.

At this moment, Zhong Tianhai waved to us again, and we followed him to a wall.On that wall, an oil lamp was burning.Zhong Tianhai reached out his hand from the wall and took down the oil lamp, pointed to the wall next to him and said, "Take a look."

We were very puzzled, so we leaned closer to the wall and looked at it.

By the light of the oil lamp, I saw words written on the wall.

It read: Wang Shoude, 46 years old, with a broken arm, broken sternum, ruptured spleen...

There are many medical terms in the back, describing the injuries suffered by this Wang Shoude. When these injuries add up, even if I don't know medicine, I doubt whether this person can still live.

After we finished watching, Zhong Tianhai moved the oil lamp to another place, and another person's name appeared on the wall, also marking the injuries that person had suffered.Those injuries add up to no less than a dozen kinds, and some of them are enough to cause death.

Next we saw that there were exactly nineteen names recorded on the wall.There are at least seven or eight kinds of injuries suffered by each person, and there are even nearly twenty kinds of serious injuries.

I asked in surprise: "Mr. Zhong, what are you..."

Zhong Tianhai replied: "Didn't you ask me just now, where did those living bodies come from? Let me tell you, these people are the survivors after the two buses fell from the mountain. I, Zhong Tianhai, have no other skills." , and I don’t know how to bring the dead back to life, but as long as the person hasn’t died, I’m sure I can save their life. To put it bluntly, even if the person just died, as long as the life should not die, I, Zhong Tianhai, can still save their lives. It’s just that although these people were still alive, they were all dying. I spent a lot of energy to pull them back from the gate of hell. You say...is this me, Zhong Tianhai? merit?"

After hearing Zhong Tianhai's narration, we were very surprised.Unexpectedly, there were survivors in that car, and these survivors were all rescued by Zhong Tianhai.

I nodded: "Mr. Zhong, of course this is your merit? If this matter is disclosed, I think you will be famous and admired by the world. And there will be recognition from the government and related rewards."

Zhong Tianhai sneered: "It's a joke. Do you think I, Zhong Tianhai, would care about these things? In my opinion, being famous all over the world and being admired by the world is worthless. As for the government's commendations and rewards, I don't even care."

I don't doubt what Zhong Tianhai said.A person like him must have his own strange temper.

Pang Dahai asked: "You don't draw any of these, so what are you drawing?"

Before Zhong Tianhai could answer, Ma Di said, "That's not a question. What he's drawing are the organs of these people, and everything his son needs..."

Fat Dahai snorted, and asked again: "You mean, those patches on his son's body and the newly replaced organs in his body were provided by these people?"

"That's right." Zhong Tianhai said: "The old man is right, I saved their lives and I don't need their rewards. I just ask for some parts from them, and these parts will not affect their lives. Not too much, right?"

The facts Zhong Tianhai said, if considered carefully, also have his reasons.The lives of those people were saved by Zhong Tianhai, and then Zhong Tianhai obtained some organs, skin, nerves and other substances from them to replace the necrotic parts of his son.From the perspective of Zhong Tianhai and a bystander, there is no problem.

But doing so is probably not allowed on the moral and legal levels.But we are not law enforcers, nor are we judges. Although we feel that Zhong Tianhai's actions are inappropriate, we have no right to intervene.

But we finally know that there were survivors in the incident where the vehicle fell into the mountain, and there were quite a few survivors, as many as 19 people.This ending is good, and I think it must have surprised many people.

And the third uncle and the old man Zhang came here to find the whereabouts of these people?We found this place, have they been here too?

Thinking of this, I asked, "Then where are the survivors you rescued now?"

Chapter 745

Zhong Tianhai pointed to the mountain wall: "Although they have been rescued now, they are very weak and cannot let you see them directly. I am using some special Chinese medicine to help them maintain their health. It is estimated that they will be able to recover in about a month. Get out of here."

I nodded, no wonder the smell of Chinese medicine can be smelled here.Hearing this, I feel that Zhong Tianhai's medical skills should not be called medical skills.It would not be an exaggeration to say that his divine skills are fairy arts.

You must know that the conditions in this cave are extremely limited, far inferior to those large hospitals with advanced equipment.But Zhong Tianhai did what those big hospitals couldn't do.Such a strange person has been buried in the mountains, which cannot but be said to be a loss to the world of medicine.

Since these people and these things have already appeared and happened, I have no ability to change anything.In fact, what I want to know most now is the whereabouts of my third uncle.

At this time, Zhong Tianhai took us out of the cave again.I took the opportunity to ask: "Mr. Zhong, I want to ask you about two people."

"who?"

"One is my third uncle, a Taoist priest. He used to wear a tattered Taoist robe, called Li Dongbin, also called Li Dagang. The other is a sawmaker, an old man named Zhang... have they been here before, or have you seen him? have they?"

After hearing what I said, Zhong Tianhai sneered.

When I heard his smile, I should know those two people.Sure enough, Zhong Tianhai nodded: "They came here... but... they left again."

"Gone? Where did you go?" We were more anxious and asked together.

"Well. Since you helped my son, I owe you a favor. I can take you to find them, but... I have to wait for my son to wake up before leaving. Before he wakes up, it is considered a dangerous period I'm afraid he will have an accident."

I wanted to ask something more, Zhong Tianhai waved his hand: "I think you helped us, so I am willing to take you to find them. In fact, they came here and had conflicts with me. I have already done my best for them. I don't want to say one more word, if you are in a hurry, you can leave on your own."

Zhong Tianhai only said so much about third uncle and old man Zhang, so he refused to say more.It seems that the third uncle and the old man Zhang came here and had unpleasant contact with Zhong Tianhai.In this case, we naturally couldn't leave on our own. Without clues, we don't know where Uncle San went.

In desperation, we can only continue to stay in the cave passively, and we will wait for Zhong Xiaofeng to wake up.

The matter is exactly as Zhong Tianhai said, it was not easy for him to tell us so much when Zhong Xiaofeng was still in a coma.Before Zhong Xiaofeng wakes up, once he leaves Zhong Xiaofeng to help us, if something happens to him, he will definitely regret it.And we can't afford this responsibility.

After explaining the matter almost, Zhong Tianhai returned to Zhong Xiaofeng's bed immediately, stretched out his hand to feel Zhong Xiaofeng's pulse, and then showed a relaxed expression on his face.It can be seen that everything is developing in a good direction.

I am also very happy in my heart, if Zhong Tianhai is in a good mood, he will take us to find third uncle and the others.If something happens to Zhong Xiaofeng, our hopes will come to naught again.

Zhong Tianhai saw that we were all gathered around, so he waved his hands: "Sit down, sit down... I guess if Xiaofeng is optimistic, he should wake up in three hours."

There are a lot of scattered stones in the cave, and we sat directly on those stones.

Ouyang He, an old fisherman who hadn't spoken for a long time, asked Zhong Tianhai at this moment: "Swordplayer, I don't know something..."

Zhong Tianhai waved his hand: "If you don't understand anything, just ask..."

Ouyang smiled and asked: "Why did you have a rift with your son? Could it be because..."

Zhong Tianhai struggled to listen to Ouyang Or's words, so he simply didn't let him say more, and this person is also smart, Ouyang Or only said half of what he said, and he could understand the content behind it. Seeing Ouyang Or's question, he nodded and said: " That's right, the misunderstanding between Xiaofeng and I was all because of this bone knife..."

While talking, Zhong Tianhai stared at Zhong Xiaofeng on the bed, stroked Zhong Xiaofeng's hair to the side lovingly, then gently touched Zhong Xiaofeng's face with his hand, and wiped away a little sweat from his son's forehead.

You must know that Zhong Xiaofeng is already in his 20s, Zhong Tianhai's action is a bit too intimate, and it is more suitable for children of a certain age.Maybe only when Zhong Xiaofeng was asleep, Zhong Tianhai could make such an intimate gesture.But it's not hard to see Zhong Tianhai's love for his son.

Zhong Tianhai sighed, and continued, "Do you know how precious this kind of bone knife is?"

We have all seen the extraordinary features of that bone knife, and I have personally experienced the magic of that knife. It is not an exaggeration to say that the bone knife is a magic weapon.But we, including Ouyang or, don't know the origin of the knife. It seems that there is a story in it.

Zhong Tianhai took out the bone knife again, and the knife glowed with a cold light from time to time under the light of the oil lamp.Most of the time, we couldn't see the blade, we just watched Zhong Tianhai holding the wooden handle and playing with it.This knife must be a rare treasure, especially with the cooperation of Zhong Tianhai's miraculous medical skills, it complements each other even more.With Zhong Tianhai's reputation as a ghost doctor, getting this artifact is like adding wings to a tiger.

And we also wanted to know the origin of this knife, so we stopped talking and listened to Zhong Tianhai's narration.

Zhong Tianhai glanced at Ouyang Or, and said, "Fisherman, in fact, I own this knife, and I have to thank you for it."

Ouyang was taken aback for a moment: "Bless me? Is it because more than [-] years ago..."

Zhong Tianhai nodded: "This knife is a bone knife, made of fish bones, I think you are familiar with fish, right?"

Ouyang thought for a while and said: "You and I met more than [-] years ago, cherished each other, and had a long conversation. I once told you about the sea of ​​the North Ming mentioned in "Zhuangzi Xiaoyaoyou". The fish there, They are all species that we have never seen before, I have always wanted to go but have not been able to make the trip..."

"That's right." Zhong Tianhai continued: "There is a fish in the Northern Darkness, and its name is Kun. The size of the Kun is unknown for thousands of miles. In the sea of ​​Northern Darkness known to the world, there is a fish called Kun. But tell me In the sea of ​​the Northern Darkness, in the vast waters, there are many creatures, among them is a kind of fish called ?...? This kind of fish is not big, probably similar to the carp we usually see. But it has a The most notable feature..."

Chapter 746 Eternal pain

Hearing this, Ma Su suddenly opened his mouth and asked, "Fish, plate bone flying fins."

Zhong Tianhai took a look at Ma Di, and said approvingly, "This old man has extraordinary knowledge, and I admire him. That's right? The most distinctive feature of a fish is that its bones are different. Its bones are thin and sharp, and it's not like an ordinary fish. Bone, a spine, two rows of burrs, its bone is a plane, called plate bone. It is said that its bone is so thin that it is almost transparent, but it is extremely tough. Although this fish is small, no other fish dares to eat it They. Because once they are eaten, their fish bones can easily cut through the guts of those big fish. So eating them is equivalent to dying yourself."

Ouyang or also remembered the past, and said: "At that time, you and I were just chatting."

"It can be said that the speaker has no intention, but the listener has the heart. What you said without intention touched my heart. I have practiced medicine for many years, and the world regards me as a genius doctor and ghost doctor, but I have always lacked a sharp weapon. After you and me Afterwards, I thought, if I could get that kind of fish, remove the skin and meat and leave the bone, and make a bone knife from the bone, wouldn’t that be wonderful?”

Ouyang nodded: "Later, you borrowed a fishing rod from me just to catch this kind of fish?"

Zhong Tianhai laughed and said: "People said back then that there is no fish in the world that old fishermen can't catch. It's just that I don't know why you only put in the hook and not the bait. After I borrow your fishing rod and hook with bait, I will definitely get twice the result with half the effort .”

After listening to what Zhong Tianhai said, I realized that Ouyang or before had no fish and no fish, but later he did not put bait and only hooked, which is what he looked like when we saw him.This may be a kind of sublimation of his realm.

Zhong Tianhai went on to say: "After I borrowed your fishing rod, I went to the Sea of ​​Darkness in the North without hesitation. I feared that there would be no return date for this trip. Unfortunately, my wife had just given birth to Xiaofeng at that time and needed my care very much. But at that time, my heart was fascinated, and nothing could stop me. I cruelly abandoned my wife and children, and embarked on the arduous journey of searching for the sea of ​​the Northern Darkness and catching fish. It took eight years, eight years... Only I know the hardships I have experienced, but I was so focused on looking for fish, I never thought about my wife and children who were thousands of miles away. This kind of fish not only has bones, but also has flying fins, which can swim on the surface of the sea. It leaps and glides, so it is very difficult to catch it. Fortunately, hard work pays off, and finally I went through a lot of hardships and finally caught a fish with your fishing rod in Beiming. I peeled off the skin and left the bones In the land of the Northern Darkness, there is a kind of reef, which is also extremely tough. I used that reef to polish the bone, and continued to improve the processing, and finally made this bone knife. After processing, this knife is stronger than fish bone A tool suitable for a healer, it can easily cut through the flesh, and the flesh will heal quickly."

I nodded, this knife is indeed miraculous, but I didn't expect it to come from such a source.Someone spent eight years and abandoned his wife and children just to find this knife.

Zhong Tianhai showed sadness on his face, and continued: "When I came back, Xiaofeng was already eight years old. But he didn't recognize me, it's no wonder. He was eight years old, and I went out for eight years... "

What Zhong Tianhai said was human nature.After all, he left his wife and children and went to the distant sea to look for a bone knife. In the final analysis, he wanted to improve his medical skills and give his wife and children a better life.

So I said: "It's no wonder, father and son stay together for a while, he will get to know you, right?"

Zhong Tianhai smiled wryly, and said: "That's right. But I didn't know what I was thinking at the time, maybe it was a ghost. After I got home, I found that Xiaofeng didn't recognize me and didn't even kiss me at all, so I was furious , I scolded Xiaofeng and my wife. Not afraid of your jokes, I even suspected that Xiaofeng was not my son. After that, I was obsessed with studying the inside of my bone knife. Because that bone knife, although I I have already got it, but how to use it and how to use it requires me to study it carefully. So after I came back, I still didn’t have much contact and communication with my wife and children. And they are not allowed to enter my room for half a day. step."

It can be seen that Zhong Tianhai not only devoted his time to this bone knife, but also devoted a lot of energy and painstaking efforts.No wonder he used this bone knife so handily and with ease.

But every gain has its own losses, Zhong Tianhai is too obsessed with bone knives, and he is bound to neglect his family.It is not difficult to understand that Zhong Xiaofeng has a problem with his father.

Zhong Tianhai went on to say: "Since I came back for two years, I have been using a large number of animals to test my bone knife, and finally I feel familiar with this knife, and I think I have fully understood this knife. It was at that time that I learned that my wife, who raised Xiaofeng by herself during the years when I was gone, had already suffered from overwork, but I, as a doctor called by the world, didn't know it at all. Until she lay on the bed Xiaofeng came to me when she was dying of illness. I went over to look, and it was not difficult to save her with my medical skills. She had a cancerous tumor in her lower abdomen. If I used herbs to attack and apply externally, it should be able to save her. But I was studying that bone knife at the time, and I had been experimenting with animals. It happened that she had that disease, so I wanted to use this bone knife to try on her. The result..."

Having said this, Zhong Tianhai took a deep breath and let out a long breath.It seems to be expressing all the boredom in my heart.

Judging from his tone of voice, it was obvious that the effect of his treatment on his wife was not satisfactory.

Sure enough, Zhong Tianhai hesitated for a while, and finally said again: "In the end, I thought I had mastered the knack of using this bone knife, but it was far from enough. At that time, I had already cut off the cancerous tumor with this knife." , but because of my technique, it was just that little bit, just that little bit, and it would have killed my wife... If I had been more steady in my hand and used the knife a little faster, maybe the venom in the tumor would have died. Not going backwards to attack the heart, maybe..."

Zhong Tianhai fell into extreme annoyance while talking.

Ouyang said lightly: "You don't have to blame yourself for the past."

Zhong Tianhai nodded: "After so many years, I still can't let go. This has become an eternal pain in my heart. Because I always thought that the most important thing in the world was this bone knife. Until my wife The moment I left, I really felt the pain of losing a loved one. That is the unforgettable pain."

Chapter 747

When Zhong Tianhai said this, he covered his chest with his hands, with a painful expression on his face.He said that Zhong Xiaofeng watched his mother die under his knife at that time.From then on, Zhong Xiaofeng was also a stranger to his father. Although Zhong Tianhai had been raising him, he stopped calling Zhong Tianhai his father from that moment on.

"He said, in my heart, this knife is my son." Zhong Tianhai said, shaking his head bitterly, but still staring at Zhong Xiaofeng on the bed lovingly.

"Then...how did he get hurt like this?" I looked at Zhong Xiaofeng, although he hadn't woken up yet, I found that his complexion was really much better than when I first saw him.

"When Xiaofeng was a minor, he had no ability, so he could only live under my care. I also wanted to teach him what I had learned all my life. But he kept saying, what's the use of learning, it's not the same Can't save my wife? Every time I hear this sentence, my heart hurts. But I still teach him my skills. He just listens silently every time and doesn't resist. I don't know that he has learned it. No. Anyway, all these years, I just fed him everything I knew. When he was 20 years old, he left me without saying goodbye. I had to go out and look for him. And Xiaofeng is He was hiding from me on purpose, and every time I was about to find him, he would find out in time and leave me again. I kept chasing him, and the two of us almost traveled all over the country. This kind of life has passed for another five years... ..."

I looked at the father and son in front of me. They have been displaced all these years, like a pair of happy enemies. It would be a blessing if they can reconcile as before.
