When Master Liu carried Lin Zenan to the clinic, there was no dry spot on his body. Despite this, his body was still hot. His wet clothes stuck to his body, and the part next to his skin was still steaming. It was a bit scary to look at.
When Master Liu arrived, the door of the clinic was closed. The rain was very loud, and he knocked hard for a while before the door opened. The one who opened the door was a little old man in his sixties. He was the Chinese medicine doctor of this small clinic. But then again, he was the only doctor in the whole clinic, and he had two apprentices helping him. The old man's surname was Yu. He didn't like Western medicine, and he didn't like others calling him a doctor. You could call him Doctor Yu, or Master Yu, Old Man Yu, or Master Yu, but you couldn't call him Doctor Yu.
Although Old Man Yu is over 60, with a long face and small eyes, he looks very energetic. He also has thick black hair that does not match his age. This black hair is what Old Man Yu is most proud of. Hey, it is all maintained by himself. He shows off this black hair to everyone he meets, especially those who are familiar with him. He blows it three or four times a day.
Master Liu is an old acquaintance of him. Master Liu runs a martial arts school. It is inevitable that people who practice boxing and kicking will bump into things. Sometimes, if a bone is broken or there is an internal injury, he will carry the person to Old Man Yu without saying a word.
As soon as Old Man Yu opened the door, he saw Master Liu quickly carrying the person in and putting him on the wooden bed, and said anxiously: "Doctor Yu, hurry up, this person has a high fever. If he continues to have a fever like this, I am afraid he will die here today!"
He did not dare to say that he was sent to the small clinic because the hospital was far away, the rain was heavy and the road was not clear. In front of Old Man Yu, Western medicine was a taboo. But now most people like Western medicine, after all, it works quickly.
Old man Yu is also a person who knows the importance of things. Without saying anything, he closed the door and turned on the light, walked to Lin Zenan's side flexibly, and reached out to touch Lin Zenan's forehead. He knew it was bad when he touched it. My goodness, the temperature is at least 40 degrees.
Old man Yu put his hand on Lin Zenan's wrist and felt his pulse. While feeling the pulse, he instructed Master Liu to take off Lin Zenan's wet clothes and wipe his body back and forth with hot water several times. Then, old man Yu began to help Lin Zenan with acupuncture. Old man Yu has always treasured this needle. Most people only use it for minor illnesses, but this time, he took it out with a heavy face and told Master Liu: "This young man's pulse seems very strange. I'm afraid it's not just a fever. Whether it will get better or not, we can only leave it to fate." Master Liu's face darkened when he heard it. After thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and said: "Or... send him to a big hospital." Master Liu looked at the sky outside. It was only afternoon, but the sky was gloomy and the rain was heavier, but the thick fog seemed to have dispersed a little. Old Man Yu's face turned cold after hearing this, but he didn't stop working. He took a moment to glare at Master Liu: "Xiao Liu, I'm not saying anything bad about you. I chose this place because there is no hospital. It takes half an hour to drive there, not to mention walking. You want to take the person away now, I won't say anything, but I'm afraid that when you get to the hospital, the person you send in will be dead." Master Liu was frightened by this and his face turned pale, and he didn't mention going to a big hospital. Although Old Man Yu's words were unpleasant to hear, they were not wrong. This place was indeed a bit remote, and it was difficult to send people away in this heavy rain. Seeing that Master Liu acquiesced, Old Man Yu was still a little angry and taunted: "You'd better not go to the hospital. It's not certain whether the hospital can diagnose this disease. Who knows, after a long examination, they may say it's a high fever and give you a fever-reducing injection directly, which may kill you." Old Man Yu always hated Western medicine and hospitals, and he had vowed in his heart that he would never coexist with them.
His son and daughter-in-law died in the hospital bed. It was obviously just a minor illness, but they were killed by some quack doctors. At that time, Old Man Yu had a symposium in another place, and his family thought it was a minor illness and didn't tell him. When he found out, the two children had already passed away.
It's really a case of the old man sending the young to their deaths.
If it weren't for the two little grandchildren to raise, Old Man Yu would have wanted to die with that damn hospital and that damn quack doctor.
Master Liu didn't say anything, just stood aside and watched Old Man Yu give acupuncture.
Two hours later, Old Man Yu finally stopped the needle. At this moment, his old face was full of sweat. He felt Lin Zenan's pulse again, but he was relieved.
He was saved.
At 11 o'clock in the evening, Lin Zenan woke up.
He opened his eyes, a strange little broken house, a strange bed, the whole house was dark, and there was no one. Outside the window, there was the sound of dripping rain, which made people feel annoyed. The door was closed, and the window was open on one side, and cool breeze blew from the window from time to time.
Lin Zenan just set his eyes on the window, but suddenly saw a person appear in the window, turning his head to look into the room. Lin Zenan sat up in shock, his heartbeat fluctuated, and he almost cried out. He was not a timid person, but the current situation made him a little unbearable.
The man seemed to have a mobile phone with a lit screen, and he also shone it inside. Seeing Lin Zenan sitting on the bed, he seemed to be startled.
The man came back to his senses, patted his chest and walked away, cursing: "You kid want to scare me to death? You sit upright in the middle of the night without making a sound, with your eyes wide open, like a wronged ghost, isn't it scary!" As soon as I heard the voice, I knew it was Old Man Yu.
While cursing, he walked to the door, pushed it open, pressed the light switch on the wall, and the light came on.
The sudden strong light made Lin Zenan a little uncomfortable. He covered his eyes with his hands. After a while, he slowly took his hands down and stared at the strange old man in front of him. Lin Zenan asked the question in his heart: "Who are you, why am I here?" According to his original intention, he wanted to hold the old man's neck and ask him how he got him to this broken place and what his intention was. Children from rich families, whether they are young or old, will always be targeted by certain people, kidnapped or otherwise, either paying money or killing them. Lin Zenan is particularly aware of this.
However, he found that he had no strength in his body, and he was only able to sit up because he was scared.
He was in someone else's territory, and he couldn't move now, so he could only give in.
When Lin Zenan asked questions, Master Liu had already come over. As soon as he saw the light on this side, he immediately came over here. As soon as he entered the door, he heard Lin Zenan's words.
Master Liu took over directly and said, "I found you in a car on the side of the road. You had a high fever at the time, so I sent you here."
Hearing this, Lin Zenan breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as his mind was relaxed, his body fell limply on the bed, still awake, but without strength.
Master Liu was startled when he lay down, and was afraid that something would happen to the young man. He hadn't finished asking questions, so he walked over and was about to get Lin Zenan up.
Old man Yu stopped Master Liu, "It's okay, this is a normal phenomenon, it will be fine in three days. I just discharged some toxins from my body, and I feel a little weak. I have to lie down for a few days."
Master Liu wiped the sweat from his head, feeling depressed. What a thing. However, he still walked to Lin Zenan's side and asked, "Did you see a person named Lin Bing before you fainted? What is your relationship with her?"
Lin Zenan was lying on the bed, looking at Master Liu, and asked slowly, "Who are you and why are you asking this?" This middle-aged man looked honest, exuding the temperament of a soldier, and was very serious.
"I am Liu Hongbing, Lin Bing is the granddaughter of my former boss's old boss. I was supposed to come here to learn some boxing and kung fu, but I had something to do at the time, so I postponed it for a few days. I suddenly received her call for help this afternoon, so I came out to look for her, but when I found the place, I only saw the mobile phone, not the person. You were the only one in the car at the time." Master Liu is an honest man and is too lazy to tell lies.
"I'm Lin Zenan, Lin Bing's brother." Lin Zenan had a sincere smile on his face at this time. He was a soldier under his grandfather's command and was going to be Lin Bing's master. He seemed to be reliable, so Lin Zenan did not hide it. "I remember that the car was out of gas at that time, so I went to the trunk to get gasoline. But as soon as I opened the trunk door, my body hurt and I fainted. When I woke up, I was here. I remember my sister was in the car at that time."
Master Liu's heart sank. It seemed that there was still no whereabouts. It must have happened after Lin Zenan fainted. He fainted suddenly. Could he have been drugged? By the way, since he fainted outside, someone must have dragged him into the car. So, it was later that Bing called him for help. That is to say, it happened not long after Lin Zenan fainted. Was it a human trafficker, a thief, or a kidnapper?
There was no camera on that street. It was a bit chaotic at night, but it was better during the day.
It's impossible to commit a crime in broad daylight, but it's hard to say with such heavy rain.
Old man Yu is old, and seeing that Lin Zenan is fine, he went back to his room to sleep.
Later, Lin Zenan asked Master Liu for help, and he called Grandpa Lin with Lin Zenan's mobile phone, and after the call was connected, he held the phone in his hand and put it to Lin Zenan's ear. Lin Zenan told Grandpa Lin everything that happened in the afternoon.
Hearing that Lin Bing was missing, Grandpa Lin didn't speak for a long time. Later, he only heard someone sighing on the phone and said, "I will tell your second uncle about this. We are short of manpower now. You are in H City. I will leave the task of finding your sister to you. You should hurry up and don't fall behind. You should hurry up and do your work within five days at the latest. If you still can't find Lin Bing within five days, you don't have to look for her. Come here quickly. I have already lost a granddaughter. I don't want anything to happen to my grandson. Remember, five days! Also, you have to thank Xiao Liu. You owe him a great favor. By the way, let Xiao Liu answer the phone."
Lin Zenan tilted his head and said directly to Master Liu, "Let you answer the phone."
Master Liu put the phone to his ear with some doubts. When he heard the voice, his expression immediately changed, and he was very serious. He said, "Yes, don't worry, I will definitely help. I have nothing to do these days. Yes. No thanks, no thanks, this is what I should do! Have a good rest, good night."
Master Liu was relieved only after he hung up the phone. Answering a phone call was like fighting a war.
After that, Lin Zenan stayed in the small clinic temporarily. After all, he was sick, and he had to get better before he could leave.
*
The heavy rain lasted for two days, and almost all the low-lying areas in the city were flooded. On the third day, the rain stopped and the sky cleared up.
Lin Zenan recovered well. On the morning of the third day, he found that he could get out of bed and walk, but his steps were a little slow, probably because his body was still a little weak. He got up early in the morning and walked around the room alone. He was upset. It was obviously a minor illness, but it made him like a useless person. He could only lie down and sit for the past two days. It was too uncomfortable.
The things that grandpa asked him to do were not finished yet. His subordinates said that they didn't find Lin Bing, and there were a lot of troubles.
He walked back and forth while thinking.
Walking and walking.
As he walked...
He realized something was wrong. Hey, where is the ground? Why isn't it hard under his feet? He slowly lowered his head and looked carefully at the bottom of his feet. He felt that his eyes were blurry. He rubbed his eyes again, looked again, and still felt that it was wrong. He rubbed his eyes again. It must be his eyes.
How could his feet not touch the ground!
He must have seen it wrong. How could his feet be suspended in the air! Even if it was only five centimeters, it was wrong!
