False evidence

Chapter 348 Unlicensed Clinic (6)

Although the old man couldn't hear me speak, he had clearly recognized my presence.

"Kid, don't say anything now, just get back to where you came from!"

Erpang thought he was talking to him, and scratched his head, asking, "Should I go back to the stadium or back to the workshop?"

I suddenly remembered that Erpang's parents seemed to work at a private workshop in the county that specialized in making paper figures. The paper figure from earlier must have been specially made by them for Erpang.

"Sanzi! Don't delay, go back quickly!"

The old man shouted again, then said to Erpang as he walked, "Go back and get some sleep first. As soon as it's light, come with me to find Xiao Sanzi!"

Erpang looked around in astonishment: "Were you just talking to Sanqi? He's back?"

The old man said in a deep voice, "This kid should have been back tonight. Something must have happened to him, and he was delayed on the way."

"I can't see him... so he hasn't turned into..."

Erpang and I are very close. Realizing what was happening, he said urgently, "Hey sir, why wait until dawn? The car is ready, let's go now!"

The old man said, "Silly boy, some things can be done quickly without delay, but some things can be done slowly without rushing. Listen to me, go back first. I still need to find some things at dawn, and then we'll set off again."

Seeing the two of them on the levee, I suddenly remembered, "Do you know where I am?"
Just as I was about to chase after him, Lü Xin stopped me and said, "The old man is no ordinary person, so there's no need to say anything more. The reason he wants you to leave quickly is probably because he's worried that you're still a living soul. Once dawn breaks, if you can't return to your body, your living soul will become a dead soul, and you'll never be able to go back!"

I was shocked and quickly ran back.

Once in the car, Liang Yuan sped off at breakneck speed.

Liang Kaiyuan suddenly said to me, "A 'thirty-one' has already appeared just now."

I was taken aback: "When did this happen? I don't remember it."

Liang Kaiyuan said, "You wanted to write your name with a digging claw before. You were halfway through writing the character 'seven' when you got startled by the thunder. You didn't finish writing the character 'seven' but instead added a horizontal stroke at the end. That's how it became thirty-one!"

Lü Xin also said that it seemed to be true.

I think it's unreliable; does a typo count?
The key word was written by myself.

Liu the Blind said that as long as you see the number 'thirty-one' three times, you can find the preserved egg.

If what you write yourself counts, then let alone three times, even thirty times is just a matter of moving your wrist.
Lu Xin said, "You've misunderstood. Qimen divination is about understanding the secrets of heaven, not about taking shortcuts or doing things deliberately."

The car was parked outside the TCM clinic, and several people ran over in the rain.

Just as they were about to enter, Liang Yuan suddenly pointed to a spot and said:

"You're looking for the number thirty-one? Does the house number count?"

When I looked in the direction he was pointing, my eyelids twitched.

When I arrived earlier, I was already in a daze and didn't notice what was happening outside the door.

Looking again, one could see a rusty nameplate nailed to the door frame, which read:
——No. 31, Liujiagou!
A shout of cursing suddenly came from inside the gate:
"You son of a bitch! I'll take your life!"

Looking inside, I saw the young man in the white coat running out of the room on the left.

Yan Fengwei's eyes were bloodshot as he chased and beat him furiously while cursing.

My heart sank for no reason, and I rushed into the house.

Upon entering the room, one sees a person lying naked on a wooden bed.

An Xin stood by, silently shedding tears.

Now I finally believe that I, Lü Xin, and the others have all been separated.

Because the person lying there is me!

I saw many silver needles of varying thicknesses and lengths inserted into my chest, abdomen, and thighs. I lay there motionless, my eyes wide open, but devoid of any spirit.

This is clearly the look of someone who died with their eyes wide open!
Lu Xin strode up to me, reached out to touch my forehead, but his fingers brushed against my body.

Liang Yuan said, "It's too late, it's already past dawn."

This time, he spoke in a woman's voice.

Needless to say, this is his past life; Shen Fangyun has appeared.

Liang Kaiyuan looked around: "There's no clock here, so we can't tell the time. Maybe...maybe it's not past midnight yet, there's still a chance!"

Shen Fangyun said, "I must have been past dawn."

Liang Kaiyuan frowned and remained silent, his expression still indicating he didn't believe what she was saying offhand.

Shen Fangyun looked at him resentfully and said:

“Every day, besides taking care of my in-laws, I just wait for you to come home. One day, one month, one minute, every second… Once, the pocket watch you gave me broke and couldn’t be repaired. That’s when I realized that I’m more accurate than the watch.” I could tell that Shen Fangyun had a knack for predicting things.

I was unwilling to accept this, so I tried to touch my own body, but I still couldn't have any interaction with it.

After several attempts, I finally gave up.

Liang Kaiyuan put his arm around my shoulder, seemingly trying to comfort me, but before he could say anything, the lights in the room suddenly went out!
It was still dark when the lights went out, plunging everything into darkness.

I felt lost, standing in the darkness, unsure of where to go or what to do.

I once told the ghosts I encountered: The paths of Yin and Yang are different. Once you become a ghost, you must go where you are meant to go.

Now that I've kicked the bucket, I realize that this was absolutely utter nonsense.

When I saw him this time, he looked much older.

The old man never enjoyed the blessings I provided, yet he has to bury his son.

The preserved egg is still missing...

Liu the Blind said I could find the preserved egg. Does that mean I'll meet her in another world?

If that's the case, then it's not bad.

But what about Egg Mom, who treats me like her own son?
With these regrets, when I finally reach the Bridge of Helplessness, will I be able to drink the Meng Po soup?

A flash of light appeared as An Xin turned on her phone's flashlight.

By the light of the electric lamp, I suddenly felt that the room looked a little different.

An Xin used her phone to shine a light on me, stared at me blankly for a while, then turned around stiffly and walked towards the door.

"Brother Yan!"

She called out, but there was no response.

I suddenly remembered, why is there no sound outside?

Yan Fengwei was incredibly kind to me, but now that I've been killed by that quack doctor, he's definitely going to fight him to the death.

He mustn't actually kill the other person; that would land him in jail!
Thinking of this, I quickly followed her out, only to find An Xin standing at the door in a daze.

To be honest, I was immediately stunned when I saw the scene in the hall.

There was no one in the hall, and apart from the sound of rain outside, there was no other sound.

The counter and medicine cabinet are still there, but they have become very dilapidated.

The ground was littered with trash, and the corners of the ceiling were covered with cobwebs.

Even the main door is missing one of its panels!

This is no longer the traditional Chinese medicine clinic it used to be.

Perhaps a long time ago, it was a clinic or pharmacy, but now it is clearly an abandoned building that has been abandoned for a long time!

An Xin stared blankly for a while, then remained silent. She walked to the door and looked outside, but neither Yan Fengwei nor the young man were there.

It was still raining heavily outside. She seemed to want to go out, but in the end, she hesitated and turned around.

Just then, a loud 'bang' came from upstairs, like a door being slammed shut or a heavy object falling to the ground.

An Xin was startled by the sudden noise.

"Brother Yan!"

She called out again, but didn't dare to shout it out loud.

Watching her tremble in the dim light, all I could do was sigh.

This girl has suffered a lot; perhaps, for her, I was a turning point in her life.

However, with my death, hope instantly turned into despair.

"Dangdang!"

Another sound came from upstairs.

This time, there seemed to be shouts from other people.

An Xin's body trembled again, as if she had finally made a decision. She ran to a corner, picked up a wooden stick from the trash, and walked up the stairs tremblingly.
