July and a half, Hungry Ghost Festival.Demons and monsters, all ghosts run rampant.

Chanyi made a dough figurine of the little ghost there all morning, bought a lot of lotus lanterns, and placed a five-flavored bowl of cake and barley at the door.

She was busy there when Xu Hang patted her shoulder from behind, making her almost jump up: "Master! Today is the Ghost Festival, you can't pat your shoulder, be careful to attract ghosts!"

Legend has it that there are three lamps on a person's shoulders, and patting them will turn off the lamps.

Only then did Xu Hang remember that today is the day to worship ghosts.If the door to hell is really open, how many souls will come to Jin Yantang?

Not afraid of the dead, but afraid of those living little ghosts, still restless.

The brothers and sisters of the Zhang family seem to have left Hezhou City on a boat today. I heard that it was not so early, but Zhang Yinxi's health suddenly deteriorated, and he fainted several times in the past few days, so he had to be sent back to Shanghai for a look.

Duan Yelin pretended to send someone to bid farewell for a while, thinking in his heart that he could finally send away these big troubles.

After Xu Hang found out, he also packed a box and asked someone to deliver it to the ship, saying it was for Gu Fangfei in Shanghai.

"I just left like this, I think it's strange." Duan Yelin looked at the workers who were loading and unloading luggage at the pier, with a vague premonition in his heart.

On the deck, Zhang Xiuming leaned against the railing, looked at Duan Yelin from a distance and smiled, picked up his hat, and waved it.

Chilling.

In the pharmacy hall, Xu Hang taught the new pharmacists knowledge, pointed to a tuberculosis patient and wrote a prescription, and specifically told him: "The tuberculosis patient, the diet should be the most taboo, and fish without scales must not be eaten, otherwise the old disease will easily recur. .I will write you a taboo list later, you have to memorize it."

"Remember, remember," the medicine apprentice took notes while nodding like pounding garlic, "It's just a reminder to the rich, poor people can't afford to buy fish!"

"It's good to be careful."

The medicine apprentice was aroused by Xu Hang's words: "Speaking of which, the fish ban was just lifted today. I haven't eaten fish for a long time, and my mouth is watering just thinking about it."

Xu Hang glanced at him, then moved away without a trace.

The poor cannot afford to eat the expensive fish during the fish ban period, not to mention the selected scaleless fish. Only those rich and wealthy will continue to drink and eat, and will be rich and sick.

Obedient patients have always been favored by the heavens, but only patients like Zhang Yinxi never dreamed that their daily meals at the Japanese consulate were all spells to make them sick.

Even if you know you can't eat scaleless fish, the young lady doesn't know the grains and doesn't work, she won't pay attention at all.What's more, she is in the consulate, not in her own compound in Shanghai, and there is no servant who takes care of her food.

This time, he wanted to know where the Zhang family could find the next Shen Jingmo.

When the sun was high and the dogs were squatting on the steps lazily sticking out their tongues and panting, Xu Hang had time to take a break and drink some tea.

Before I could swallow the tea, a little guy broke in from outside, shouting: "Help, help! Help!"

The little guy was dressed in rags, he seemed to be a child from a poor family, with an anxious look on his face, as soon as he ran in, he rushed to Xu Hang and knelt down: "Doctor Xu, my mother is sick, please do me a favor, come rescue me Save her, okay?"

Then he kowtowed desperately, which meant that if Xu Hang didn't agree, he would kowtow to death here.

Dr. Hu hurried forward to help the child, and said kindly: "Don't worry, get up and talk, okay?"

The child refused to get up and knelt stubbornly. Xu Hang looked at him for a while and asked, "Where is your mother?"

"At home, my house is in a dilapidated nunnery on the side of Shangjiu Road."

Xu Hang nodded, put a small package of acupuncture tools in the cabinet into his sleeve, and then got up with the medicine box: "Then you lead the way."

The little guy was very happy, and he was busy leading the way to lead Xu Hang out, and went all the way to Shangjiu Road.

Shangjiu Road is the closest road to the river. It is relatively remote, and it is also a place where many poor people gather.The important thing is that Shangjiu Road is close to the wharf, where many poor people make a living.

There are several dilapidated nunneries by the pier, where some poor people who cannot afford a house live.

Along the way, although the child was walking ahead, he had to look back at Xu Hang from time to time, for fear that he would disappear out of thin air.

The child turned and turned, and stopped in front of a broken nunnery. Then, with a nervous face, he pushed the door open carefully.

"Doctor Xu, this is the place."

Xu Hang stood in front of the door, but did not step in for a long time, but stared at him.The child was so hairy, he broke out in a cold sweat: "Doctor Xu...my aunt is here..."

"It's so quiet." Xu Hang said so suddenly.

"what?"

Xu Hang's eyes sharpened a bit: "Little guy, there are always a lot of people living together in the broken nunnery. Don't you think that the broken nunnery where your mother lives is too quiet? It's like... there is no one at all. .”

The child swallowed, his eyes widened, and then suddenly ran away, whistling while running.In almost an instant, a few people rushed out from the broken hut, grabbed Xu Hang's arm, and dragged him in!

The medicine box fell to the ground, the bottles and jars inside were smashed to the ground, and the medicine was mixed together.Xu Hang almost staggered, and then he was pulled hard by someone, barely standing up straight.

In the broken nunnery, the sound of leather shoes stepping on the ground gradually came. Looking up, Zhang Xiuming, who was supposed to leave by boat at the pier, appeared in front of him, slowly took off his hat, and played with it in his hands.

He smiled and approached slowly, the sunlight leaking from the dilapidated wall cast half a shadow on his face, making him look extraordinarily weird.

Xu Hang adjusted to the dim vision for a while, and then said under his throat: "You haven't left yet?"

"My things fell, how can I go?" Zhang Xiuming reached out to touch Xu Hang's face, Xu Hang twisted his head, and hid, he struggled, but his hands were tightly clamped, and he couldn't move at all. no.

Zhang Xiuming smiled lightly: "Don't struggle, it's not good if you break my beauty bone. In fact, I should have done this a long time ago. I used the wrong method before. Although it is a little violent now, it is a shortcut. Woolen cloth."

After speaking, he took out an injection from his pocket and unscrewed the needle cover. Xu Hang saw a little medicine dripping from the needle, and Zhang Xiuming approached step by step.

"What do you want to do?" Xu Hang's spine shivered, and he glared angrily.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..." Zhang Xiuming grabbed the hair on the back of Xu Hang's head, raised his neck, and comforted him gently, but the needle in his hand was against Xu Hang's skin, "Sleep, I will Take you to a good place."

The needle pierced into the skin, and after a slight chill, Xu Hang frowned, his body soon became paralyzed, and gradually even his eyelids became heavy.

As soon as the needle was pulled out, Xu Hang fell down, Zhang Xiuming picked him up horizontally, and the servants pushed open the door of the broken nunnery, walked all the way to the pier, and boarded the boat.
