Chapter 104 Divine Doctor Village [14] Hold a small hand, sweet and sweet
[When asked, Village Chief Ge said that the Medical Saint is in the pocket watch. The pocket watch is on Xia Yuliang.]
Mo Qing glanced at the message but didn't reply. He put his phone back in his pocket.
She asked Jiang Ke: "Where are you going next?"
"Back Mountain."
"Let's get together."
Mo Qing made a decision quickly.
Jiang Ke looked at her and then nodded: "Yes."
"Mr. Jiang." Mo Qing spoke in a casual tone, as if in a normal conversation, "Did you go to the back mountain this morning to find Xia Yuliang?"
"Um."
Regarding Mo Qing's speculations and temptations, Jiang Ke didn't hide anything or feel guilty at all, and should be very calm.
Mo Qing asked: "Have you found it?"
"No."
"What's your relationship with Xia Yuliang?" Mo Qing asked again.
There was a downward slope in front of the road. The road was narrow and there were lush green grass on both sides. The two walked side by side, almost shoulder to shoulder.
"She was a doctor who received the E-level professional title through my hands," Jiang Ke said. "But she left her job two months after she was given the grade. At the end of last year, I received a letter from her."
"What did you write?"
"Ask me to give money to the children."
"Is this just worth your visit?" Mo Qing's eyebrows were filled with suspicion.
A gust of wind stirred up from the sky and earth, blowing up dead leaves and dust. Mo Qing narrowed his eyes. The next moment, a hand stretched out. Mo Qing opened his eyes and saw the hand pointing upward.
fell on top of her head.
Jiang Ke took off half of a dead leaf and chuckled: "I'll sketch."
He spoke with confidence and awe-inspiring justice.
Mo Qing: "..." Write you a ghost.
Jiang Ke asked again: "Do you know where the back mountain is?"
"I don't know." Mo Qing frowned and replied, but after scanning around, he landed on the top of the mountain in the west, "Over there."
Jiang Ke was startled: "How did you guess that?"
Mo Qing: "Back Mountain Bamboo Forest."
She remembered that Jiang Ke mentioned the "bamboo forest" in the morning. Obviously, there were the most bamboos there.
"Here." Jiang Ke handed something over.
Mo Qing lowered his eyes and took a look.
Another piece of chocolate.
"It's almost noon." Jiang Ke glanced at the sun hanging directly above his head, "Aren't you hungry?"
Mo Qing didn't say much and accepted it generously.
*
Three outsiders appeared in the village, but they did not talk about being possessed by evil spirits, practice magic, raise money, etc. like the Taoist priests in the past. Instead, they wandered around the village.
It attracted a lot of people's attention.
As a result, the news that Mo Qing and Jiang Ke were heading to the back mountain spread like wildfire.
Those who were awake during the day were mostly women who were not sick, while men did not dare to go out during the day, so even if there was a ban in the village saying "No going to the back mountain", no one stopped them.
At most, it's just a reminder to them - don't go to the back mountain.
Mo Qing and Jiang Ke naturally wouldn't listen.
The mountain behind was quite big. After Mo Qing climbed up the mountain, he divided the area with his hands and said to Jiang Ke, "Let's search separately."
"Yeah." Jiang Ke nodded, and then warned, "The signal on the mountain is a little weak, so we will contact you every half hour."
Mo Qing wanted to say that there was no need to go to such trouble.
But then I thought about it, fearing that Jiang Ke would be in danger, so I said "hmm".
"be safe."
Jiang Ke warned her and separated from her.
Jiang Ke consciously chose an area with relatively complex terrain.
The back mountain is a bamboo forest, but it is also a tomb mountain. Looking at it, you can see piles of small soil slopes and tombstones. The newly built ones may be a bit grand. In addition to the unique stone monuments, the mounds are also surrounded by stones.
The older ones are treated differently, and some only have stone tablets left.
The place is shady, the bamboos are tall and dense, and the sunlight falls and is completely blocked. The air is cool, and the graves on the ground give off a gloomy atmosphere.
Mo Qing walked among the graves without batting an eyelid.
According to Ge Yi, Xia Yuliang could not be found in the grave. She could avoid a large area. But after all, the land was so big that it took a lot of time to find her.
The sky slowly darkened.
The sun dropped to the top of the mountain in the west, and the sunset dyed the sky a bloody color.
Mo Qing, who had answered Jiang Ke's call ten minutes ago, saw Jiang Ke's call again.
"Mo Qing, come to me." Jiang Ke's voice was steady but a little heavy.
Mo Qing asked: "Where are you?"
Hiding two people in this mountain is no simple matter. Mobile phone positioning is not accurate, and it is difficult to find people without a specific location.
"..." Jiang Ke was silent for a moment and asked, "Is there a stream near you?"
"have."
Mo Qing's eyes fell on the creek about ten meters above his feet.
Jiang Ke said: "You walk up the creek, I'm next to the reservoir."
"oh."
Mo Qing looked down two meters, then glanced at the long path, and jumped down without thinking.
Jiang Ke heard some noise on the phone, his heart suddenly shrank, and he quickly asked: "What's wrong with you?"
"It's okay." Mo Qing stood up from the ground and patted the weeds on his body, "I'll be right back."
After speaking, he didn't care about Jiang Ke's mood and directly picked up the phone.
She walked quickly up the stream.
This section of the road would have taken half an hour for a villager who was familiar with the terrain, but Mo Qing only walked for ten minutes before he saw the extremely eye-catching river carvings standing on the rocks.
The moment Jiang Ke saw Mo Qing, he was stunned.
Mo Qing pushed aside the branches in front of him and asked, "Where is it?"
"A little ahead." Jiang Ke replied, looking at Mo Qing carefully from beginning to end, and couldn't help laughing, "Now that you are a sheepherder, no one will doubt it."
When he reminded him, Mo Qing lowered his head and looked at himself.
There were a lot of grass clippings and leaves on her body, her feet had stepped in mud puddles, and the soles of her feet were covered with thick mud. She didn't need to look closely, but she could tell that she was in quite a sorry state.
Where is the time to care about this now?
Mo Qing said: "Lead the way."
The smile on Jiang Ke's face faded. When she walked up to him, he picked off the weeds on her head and patted the dirt on her back.
"fine."
Mo Qing was very casual. He simply patted her twice and continued walking forward.
Jiang Ke could only keep up.
Five minutes further on, there is a water reservoir and water storage tank built by the villagers to connect tap water. What they did is very simple, with basically no technical content. The water that ultimately goes to every household is originally from the mountain.
The picture is just for convenience.
Mo Qing glanced briefly: "Where are the people?"
Jiang Ke looked at her, paused slightly, and pointed to the front of the reservoir: "Over there."
Mo Qing looked up. At first glance, she didn't find anything at all. But the next moment, she saw a group hidden in the weeds and shrubs. She suddenly paused and her expression became solemn.
Without thinking much, Jiang Ke stretched out his hand, grabbed Mo Qing's hand, and squeezed it tightly. The slender fingers were wrapped in his palm, and he looked at Mo Qing with lowered eyebrows.
Mo Qing turned her head and looked at him.
Jiang Ke said: "It must have been carried nearby by wild beasts in the mountains. I found some remains, but it must be difficult to assemble."
It is not uncommon for wild animals to exist in the mountains.
However, Xia Yuliang's end was too tragic.
After her death, she was abandoned by her husband's family and could not rest in peace. A kind-hearted girl had the courage to give her a home in a corner, but she had her grave dug.
But now, it's in pieces, with its body and head in a different place.
Mo Qing has seen many ways to die. In an era when human life was not valuable, there were many ways to die.
She should have been numb, but she was still angry after seeing such a tragic scene.
How ridiculous.
How cruel.
It's just a reason for "not being able to continue the family line".
"I have checked her body and there are symptoms of poisoning. She must have poisoned herself to death." Jiang Ke said in a fairly calm tone, "Before she died, she poisoned at most a few households in the surrounding area."
Mo Qing found it funny: "If she could enter the ancestral grave, the toxins in her body would only make the land barren. After Ge Yi buried her, the villagers did not dig the grave, and her body would not be carried near the water source.
The entire village was poisoned."
"Yeah. But..."
Jiang Ke paused and continued: "I think she expected all this. She saw through this group of people and knew that she would not enter her ancestors' graves after she died, that the villagers would dig graves, and that her body would be picked up by wild beasts.
The wild beast lives nearby, and as long as heavy rains continue for a few days, she has a chance to pollute the water source."
All the clues make sense.
The truth of the story is also revealed.
Mo Qing has saved many people with her medical skills, but she has no sympathy for the people in this village.
"I'm going to get some samples." Mo Qing glanced at the west where the sun had set below the mountain, and said softly, "We'll search around tomorrow and cremate her."
"No need." Jiang Ke held her hand tightly and did not let go, "I took pictures and left some tissue for you to study. There is nothing left, so it is difficult to detect anything."
Mo Qing was confused: "I'll just take a look."
She said as she tried to break away from Jiang Ke.
However, Jiang Ke's men used force and pulled Mo Qing forward. Mo Qing, who had only taken half a step, was suddenly pulled back and came to him.
Mo Qing was a little angry.
However, Jiang Ke lowered his head, looked into hers, frowned, and said in a deep voice, "There's nothing interesting to see."
So, at a certain moment, Mo Qing suddenly reacted and asked: "Are you worried about me?"
"..."
Jiang Ke's lips tightened and he remained silent.
Mo Qing didn't insist on an answer, and glanced above the reservoir: "We can't leave like this. Are you coming?"
"Um."
Jiang Ke agreed.
Xia Yuliang's remains were collected by Jiang Ke.
Mo Qing was not afraid of that scene, but thinking of the worry and nervousness imprinted in Jiang Ke's eyes, he stayed nearby, took a tube of water, and didn't care about anything else.
She sat on the stone and looked at Jiang Ke's busy figure.
The light dimmed, and Jiang Ke shuttled through the darkness, holding a mobile phone in flashlight mode, but from beginning to end, his beam of light did not fall on Xia Yuliang's remains.
He seemed to know she was looking at him.
Mo Qing rested his head with one hand and stared at that figure for a long time, inevitably feeling a little dazed.
Is it him?
If not, what happens?
…
Half an hour later, Jiang Ke came back. His backpack was gone and he came to Mo Qing empty-handed: "Go back."
"oh."
Mo Qing stood up from the pile of stones.
She stretched out her hand towards Jiang Ke.
"Huh?" Jiang Ke didn't react for a moment, and his throat felt a little tight.
Mo Qing shook her phone and said calmly: "The phone is out of battery and I can't see the road clearly."
Jiang Ke looked at her in the dark, wanting to test something, but his eyesight was normal and he couldn't see clearly Mo Qing's expression at the moment.
"If it doesn't work, forget it..." After waiting for a few seconds, Mo Qing took his hand back as he spoke.
Jiang Ke's heart skipped a beat, and without caring about anything else, he suddenly raised his hand and held her hand.
Delicate touch, slender fingers, with a slightly cool temperature.
After the previous worry disappeared, Jiang Ke realized that her hand was so soft, thin, and cold. So he held her hand tighter.
"Let's go." Mo Qing said.
Jiang Ke said "Yeah", raised his cell phone, illuminated the path down the mountain, and led her forward slowly.
The sky is densely covered with stars again, and the sky is full of stars, twinkling and twinkling.
There is a coolness in the wind in the mountains.
When passing by the tomb, Jiang Ke obviously held Mo Qing tighter.
But Mo Qing was thinking about something else: "Goblin never contacted me."
Jiang Ke didn't react: "What?"
Mo Qing analyzed: "Maybe something happened to him."
"Hmm..." Jiang Ke paused for a few seconds and analyzed, "The men in the village are at home at night. Goblin gathered information during the day, and we didn't come out after we entered the mountain. He will easily become the target of public criticism."
"Yeah." Mo Qing said lightly, "I hope the villagers will spare his life."
Jiang Ke: "..." It doesn't have to be so serious.
It turns out that their guess was correct.
The two of them had just come down from the back mountain and walked around a corner when they saw a group of people standing in front of them like ghosts. There was no light at all. Their figures were all in darkness, which was particularly eerie and terrifying.
Mo Qing, who has a strong psychological quality, was almost frightened by this extremely hellish scene and cursed.
——Standing silently, just like a ghost.
"Mo Qing! Jiang Ke! Help -" Goblin's cry for help suddenly broke out from the crowd.
Soon, a man who was tied up was kicked to the front row.
It was Goblin.
Goblin almost jumped up when he saw them.
However, the people on his left and right held his shoulders and pinned him down, preventing him from jumping freely.
"Mu Guo, are they the ones?" A villager pointed at Mo Qing and Jiang Ke.
Kuzu Muguo stood in the center.
"It's them!" Ge Muguo was swaying, his voice was hoarse, but his tone was decisive, "My dad said that among you, you have seen the photo on Xia Yuliang's pocket watch, and it's her -"
Ge Muguo pointed at Mo Qing.
Suddenly, the light of a flashlight hit Mo Qing, making Mo Qing narrow his eyes slightly.
The next moment, the hand of the person holding the flashlight shook, and the flashlight fell to the ground and rolled several times in the haystack.
The man murmured: "It's her, it's really her!"
Others chimed in:
"I've seen it too."
"That's her."
There were also rebuttal voices: "Is it just a resemblance?"
"How could such a coincidence happen?"
"She must be the source of the curse, arrest her!"
"We'll wait until we arrest him. He must be unscrupulous if he goes to the back mountain secretly."
…
After a brief debate, the villagers agreed.
Mo Qing broke free from Jiang Ke's hand, put his palm on the back of his neck, twisted his neck, and took a few steps forward.
In an instant, the villagers in the first row swallowed their saliva and took a step back.
Jiang Ke looked at Mo Qing leisurely.
——Although he has never seen Mo Qing fight, Jiang Ke has great confidence in Mo Qing.
"What do you mean?" Mo Qing kicked away the flashlight that was still on on the ground and said in a cool tone, "Aren't you afraid that we will call the police?"
"I'm afraid of ghosts. The police station is thousands of miles away from us."
"If you're capable, just report it and see if they accept it!"
…
The villagers jeered, as if they heard a big joke.
However, Mo Qing suddenly smiled and said calmly: "Then I'll be relieved."
