Chapter 373 Nothing but Greed
At that time, she told her own story from the perspective of a mentor.
Her daughter was seriously ill, and she had hoped to gain a breakthrough in the treatment from the jellyfish experiment. However, her daughter had no memory at all and was like a walking corpse.
A walking corpse with no memory? Ye Xiaomei chewed on this sentence carefully.
Qin Rong later said that at that time she changed her research direction, and wanted to know about animals that had spirituality, memory, and immortality. Later, she began to visit the people and gradually collected legends about animals becoming spirits for research.
Later, she discovered the method of the white snake's spirit possession. In this way, people can not only possess the memories of the spirit snake for hundreds or even thousands of years, but also have the spiritual energy of the thousand-year-old spirit snake.
In this way, man has a soul.
Plop! Hiss... Ye Xiaomei had filled a teacup with water without knowing when, which burned her hands. With a clang, the teacup fell to the ground.
Shang Zhen saw through the situation immediately: "You've been distracted recently because of the tattoo. Look at how hot the water is. I say that the world is full of wonders, but since it exists, there must be a reason and value for its existence. You don't have to be absent-minded every day. If you check it out, you will know the reason."
Shang Zhen hurried forward to help pick up the teacup, took the kettle from Ye Xiaomei's hand, poured a cup of tea and handed it to her.
Ye Xiaomei seemed to have thought of something: "Shang Zhen, have you ever heard of spirit possession?"
Shang Zhen sat down and said nonchalantly, "I've heard of it. In the past, there was a fortune teller in our village who specialized in fortune-telling. She said she was the spirit of the Queen Mother of the West, and she made a lot of money. But sometimes she was a charlatan and sometimes she was just a liar."
Ye Xiaomei sighed: "You are talking about being possessed by a ghost, right?"
"I think they are quite similar." Shang Zhen said while eating, "There is no difference. Anyway, I heard that people like this are just empty shells when they are alive, and they are controlled by some unknown things."
Ye Xiaomei knew that she couldn't be manipulated: "Stop talking nonsense, go to sleep after eating."
Ye Xiaomei washed her feet and tucked them into the quilt.
The next day, Ye Xiaomei went to the hospital without hesitation. Feng Jin's attitude changed 180 degrees, and he said in a strange tone:
"Are all the students in your No. 1 Middle School so amazing? Now there is another talented person. If this continues, the research results you promote will not have much value."
Ye Xiaomei didn't bother to talk nonsense with her and went straight to the point: "Sister Feng, what theory did Wang Chunlu rely on to achieve this breakthrough?"
Feng Jin was sorting out the documents on the table without even looking at Ye Xiaomei: "Don't you have a work badge? Database, genetic case, number 306."
"Thank you, Sister Feng." Ye Xiaomei stood up and left.
The database contains many cases of successful cure, as well as data on rare genetic disease treatments and unsatisfactory outcomes.
After finding the drawer, Ye Xiaomei glanced at the number on the tag and quickly took out the information from the file bag.
This one doesn't look like a big deal. Usually, the documents are in a thick stack, but here there is only one piece of paper, and there is only half a piece of writing on it.
The treatment plan is vague, and the source of the treatment plan is just a few words - Neichuan Zhuyoushu.
Zhuyoushu? Ye Xiaomei had heard of it. It was a very mysterious way of curing diseases. It was said to be traditional Chinese medicine, but it was very different from traditional Chinese medicine.
This... Ye Xiaomei flipped through the back and made sure there was no extra information.
Ye Xiaomei carefully read the recipe, the incantation talisman, and added——
"Black toad?" Ye Xiaomei exclaimed, Black toad, silver snake gall, this must be referring to the gall of the white snake.
But Wang Chunlu didn't know about the existence of the black toad at all. Did Professor Qin tell her before he died?
That's not enough. If Qin Rong had a way, she would have cured her daughter's illness when she was alive.
What's more, Ye Xiaomei remembered that she used the Black Toad Stone to treat Tang Bushi's illness for three courses, and the recovery period lasted more than a month. How could she cure Qin Xiaoyi's illness so quickly?
But the key point is this Zhuyou technique, can it shorten the treatment time?
Ye Xiaomei had a bold idea. She wanted to find a patient with severe bone deformity to try it out. Although there was no white snake, Zhang Erquan said that places with black rocks could attract white snakes to build nests.
Thinking of this, Ye Xiaomei quickly packed up and prepared to leave the hospital and go home to dig out the black toad stone.
As soon as I came out of the data room, I saw Wang Chunlu and Qin Xiaoyi talking to Feng Jin and other members of the research team from afar in the corridor.
——That’s great. I didn’t expect that Qin Xiaoyi’s indicators were all normal.
——Yes, you are so awesome, much better than Ye Xiaomei.
Feng Jin also looked at Wang Chunlu a few more times, thinking to himself: What kind of world is this? Are all the students speeding? Will doctors like them, who have a lot of experience, still be able to survive in the future?
All indicators are normal? Ye Xiaomei approached suspiciously: "Sister Feng, let me see."
She acted as if she didn't see Wang Chunlu and Qin Xiaoyi, and directly took the checklist from Feng Jin's hand.
She read every test sheet carefully. The data that was previously said to be highly matched with snake blood was replaced by normal human blood, and her indicators were indeed normal.
Is this...really that magical?
Wang Chunlu saw that she was examining it carefully and did not interrupt her. She raised her chin and said, "How is it? Is it cured?"
Ye Xiaomei was speechless.
Feng Jin took the medical report from her and said to Wang Chunlu, "You are a real hero when you are young. If you work hard, maybe you can join our research team. It will be published in the newspapers in the next few days after you return. Maybe a TV station will even ask you for an interview."
Ye Xiaomei is not interested in these honors.
After returning, Ye Xiaomei took advantage of the fact that no one was around to dig up the black toad that she had buried. It didn't matter if she dug it up this time.
The black toad's belly bulged, and Ye Xiaomei was so scared that she sat down on the ground.
My God, didn't she cut off one of his hind legs when she used him to treat Tang Buci? She also gave Teacher Xie a front leg. Now, it was intact, and there was a nest of translucent spherical objects as big as glass beads under its buttocks.
"Oh my God, it's still happening?" Ye Xiaomei was indescribable.
Tang family residence.
Tang Buci was drinking tea and living a god-like life. When he learned the purpose of Ye Xiaomei's visit, he immediately stood up from his wheelchair:
"What did you say? The black toad gave birth?"
Ye Xiaomei couldn't figure it out either. She buried the black toad under an elm tree in the afternoon when she rented the house. Now the elm tree was bare, but the black toad was still alive and gave birth.
"Well, I don't think it's safe to go anywhere else, and this thing attracts white snakes, so I can only send it here."
Ye Xiaomei took out a plastic bag from the cloth bag. There were at least seventy, eighty or even hundreds of black toad babies in it, all connected together by layers of mucus. The black toad mother was still tirelessly secreting liquid to wrap the follicles. If nothing unexpected happened, they would be petrified soon.
Tang Bushi didn't know if he was too happy or was feeling mixed emotions. Sometimes he held his forehead and laughed out loud, and sometimes he pinched his eyebrows and looked in pain.
At least he didn't refuse in the end: "Then we can only put it in Baiyu Temple."
Seeing that he agreed so readily, Ye Xiaomei quickly added: "Once you attract the white snakes, don't touch them. I still have great use for you."
Tang said nonchalantly, "Sell it for money."
"..." Ye Xiaomei looked at Tang Buci as if he was an idiot. Now, there is something more important than money, okay? For example, her own changes:
"I'm not as money-conscious as you are." After saying that, Ye Xiaomei turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly stopped:
"By the way, Tang Buci, do you know the art of incantation?"
"Do you know what happened? A tradition that basically relies on drawing talismans to cure people's illnesses has been passed down in a very suspenseful way."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaomei immediately perked up. Although this guy was good for nothing except being greedy, he read a lot of books. She could at least give him another specialty, which was reading a lot of poetry.
