I looked at the sachet in my hand, feeling a little dazed.
Tian Sanjiu closed his eyes and asked, "Is this something? Who gave it to me?"
I remembered that day.
This sachet was sold to me and Dou Sprout by Mr. Hu, and he forcibly charged me fifty yuan. Dou Sprout threw it away because it got soaked when he first went into the water, but I have always kept this sachet with me.
I almost forgot about it.
I'm not sure if it's because of this.
When you bring the sachet closer, you can smell a light fragrance.
Tian Sanjiu went over and smelled the sachet a few times. He took a deep breath and said, "It's very comfortable. After smelling this fragrance, I feel a lot more relaxed."
"You haven't told me where this thing came from."
I hesitated for a moment and said that Mr. Hu had given it to me not long ago.
"Master Hu?"
Tian Sanjiu sat upright, frowned and said, "Is it the old man who lives alone in the hut in Guiziling?"
I said yes, you met me that night.
I don't know why, but after Tian Sanjiu smelled it a few times, the smell of the sachet became much weaker. He passed it to Master Ji and let Master Ji smell it a few times, and it basically lost its smell.
There were also seven or eight people who had problems. These people had vomited all night, almost vomiting out bile. They had no strength and their faces were sallow.
The sachet was almost smellless. Tian Sanjiu thought about it, frowned and said, "Although I don't know the principle, this thing is really useful. Now it's a critical moment and it's not convenient for me to leave. You go find the old man and ask for two."
This morning, I finally went to the ranger Lao Hu with full doubts.
Lao Hu was used to living alone and was still playing chess by himself in the house. He asked me what I wanted to see him for.
I didn't say it directly, but said: "It's nothing, Mr. Hu, you sold me two sachets for 50 yuan last time, do you remember?"
Lao Hu yawned and said: "What are you talking about? Last time I wanted to buy briquettes and I still had a hundred yuan short, so I got fifty yuan from you. What? You are here to get that back today.
Fifty dollars?"
"No, no, it's not."
I waved my hand, changed the topic, and suddenly asked him: "Hu Liqun, do you recognize him?"
"Hu Liqun?"
"Who is it? I don't know him." Mr. Hu said puzzledly.
The reason why I ask this is because it suddenly occurred to me that both of his surnames are Hu.
The old man stood up and said with a somewhat dissatisfied expression: "Are you okay? You're okay, I'm okay. I'm going out to town soon. If you want to refund the fifty yuan, just wait until I get my salary next month.
"
I immediately stood up and said, "Master Hu, you really misunderstood. I want to get a few of the same ones. Do you have any more here?"
He waved his hand and said, "No, those two were bought by the way when I was shopping for new year's goods in the county town during the Chinese New Year. They cost one yuan and a half each. They are no longer sold in the county town."
After saying that, he issued an eviction order and said that he would take the noon train to the town for business.
I locked the door and looked at Mr. Hu's back gradually walking away with his cloth bag in hand, I frowned and said nothing.
Because they didn't get the sachets, several people suffering from vomiting and diarrhea were sent to the county hospital for examination in the afternoon, and no one expected the examination results that came back.
Acute food poisoning.
There must be no problem with the cold vegetables and pork head meat, because everyone ate them, but only those who have seen the strange mole and smelled the stench have problems.
The only reasonable explanation is that the old Xiumei in the medicine box was responsible.
When I was at a loss, a strange phone call told me something very important.
"Hello, Mr. Xiang."
"Who are you?"
I took the phone and walked quickly to a deserted place.
The other party's voice was low and his age could not be discerned, so he said: "I am a secretary in Hunan. You don't need to ask me who I am, and I won't meet you."
"My godfather asked me to check some people and tell you that I'm busy with time. Next thing I said, you listen and try not to interrupt me."
The other party seemed to be reading information, and said in a cold voice: "Shehuo Wuchou was established in Yang County during the Guangxu period. The fourth generation leader was He Cai Lao. This person died of illness in September 1973. Now Wuchou's
The leader's name is Self-Injury Snake. I can't find an identity photo, but what I can confirm is that Self-Injury Snake is under 45 years old."
"Lao Wu, female, is a dwarf. She is 38 years old. Information shows that this person has some hybrid geckos who can blow mouth arrows. The mouth arrows are coated with boiled gecko essence, which is poisonous."
