In his previous life, Yunbei had read some information and knew that there was a kind of mask that was made by tearing human skin directly from a person's face and then sticking it on another person's face.
Before this can happen, the peeled face must be processed, using some medication. Those medications will leave residue. If someone wears such a face for a long time, poisoning is inevitable.
Obviously, this is the case with Old Man Hu.
He is not Old Man Hu, but in order to become him and prevent others from discovering his fake identity, he has to wear a mask every day.
Over time, the residual poison on the mask entered his body, causing him to be poisoned.
It seems that she has found a place to put her pinhole camera.
Yunbei calmly withdrew his gaze and followed the captain into the main hall. The room wasn't very busy and clean. At first glance, there wasn't anything extra besides the tables, chairs, and benches.
The captain was a little surprised to see such a clean main room. He smiled and said to Old Man Hu, "Uncle Hu, you are quite diligent. You cleaned this room really well."
"If there's nothing to do, just sweep it. Besides, I'm the only one at home, so I can't get too dirty," Old Man Hu replied casually. But this remark made the captain sympathize with him. If his son hadn't sacrificed his life for his country and his wife hadn't died from the shock, he wouldn't be alone now.
But the captain didn't know that the person he should have sympathized with was already dead. The reason why the man who replaced Old Man Hu was so particular about hygiene and cleaned the house so cleanly was simply because he was afraid of being exposed.
Because although he replaced Old Man Hu, some living habits could not be changed all at once. He was afraid that someone would come to his house and notice his differences, which would put him in danger.
Yunbei saw the captain's sympathy for Old Man Hu, but she didn't say anything. Even if she told him that Old Man Hu was a fake, he probably wouldn't believe it. So, everything still needed to be proven.
Therefore, she directly said to Old Man Hu: "Comrade Hu, can I go into your room and take a look?"
As soon as these words came out, Old Man Hu's face changed. However, he soon regained his composure and said, "What's so good about an old man's room like mine? Let's just forget it."
Hearing this, Yunbei's eyes flashed and he said, "Comrade Hu, I just checked your yard and this hall, and didn't find anything poisonous. So, if possible, I would like to check your house inside and out."
"Doctor Yun, you are not trying to use the examination to do something else, are you?" It's no wonder that Old Man Hu was suspicious. He had actually gone to the hospital to ask in the morning and knew that Yun Bei's medical skills were quite impressive.
He felt that since Yunbei knew he was poisoned, there must be a way to cure it. As for her claim that she had to find the source of the poison before she could know what kind of poison he was poisoned with, he felt that it was an excuse and pure nonsense.
Yunbei was instantly delighted. He looked at Old Man Hu and said, "Comrade Hu, from what you said, you don't seem to have any shameful secrets. People say that if you are the kind of person you are, you will suspect that others are the same kind of people. I have good intentions, but you actually misunderstood me like this. It's hard for me not to think too much."
"Nonsense." Old Man Hu was furious and said directly to the captain, "Captain, you brought her here. Now take her away from me and don't come to my house again. I don't welcome you."
As Old Man Hu spoke, he pushed the team leader to get him out.
However, the captain regained his balance after being pushed a few steps. He looked at Old Man Hu and advised, "Uncle Hu, don't be angry. Although Doctor Yun may have been a little offensive, she was also kind-hearted and was concerned about your health. You can't let us know that you've been poisoned and then just do nothing. If that happens, how can I explain this to the villagers and to the higher-ups?"
"What good intentions? I think she has bad intentions." Old man Hu glared at Yun Bei fiercely, as if she was an unforgivable criminal.
"Uncle Hu, you must have misunderstood. How could Dr. Yun have bad intentions? She's a doctor, and she definitely wants her patients to be well. How about you reconsider it and come back another day?"
Yunbei also acted angry at this time and said to the captain, "Captain, I think it's better not to come. They clearly don't welcome us, so why should we bother trying to please them? Besides, he won't live much longer. At this rate, he'll be dead in six months at most. He's seeking death himself, so why are you trying to stop him?"
After saying that, Yunbei stormed out with the medicine box on his back.
The captain saw that Yunbei was also angry and didn't know what to do. He glanced at Old Man Hu, stamped his feet in anger, and turned to chase Yunbei.
When Yun Bei was about to step out of Old Man Hu's courtyard, the captain stopped her and said to her, "Doctor Yun, don't go."
Then he continued, "Doctor Yun, Uncle Hu is old and has a bit of a strange temper. Please be patient with him and don't bother with him."
"I don't want to make a fuss, but listen to what he said. As a doctor, what purpose could I have? It's as if treating him would bring me any benefit."
"Yes, yes, yes, Uncle Hu can't speak, I apologize to you on his behalf. But, you see, since you're here today, you can't give up halfway. So, you wait outside for a while, and I'll go and persuade him properly, okay?"
"Since the captain has said so, what else can I say?"
Yunbei agreed reluctantly, as if for your sake, which made the captain feel relieved.
After persuading Yunbei, he went back to persuade Old Man Hu.
When Old Man Hu saw that Yunbei was really angry, he felt relieved. He thought that he might have overthought it and Yunbei really wanted to treat him.
As for the source of the poison that Yunbei said caused him to be poisoned, he also looked for it, but found nothing.
At this moment, he never thought that it was the human skin mask that caused her to be poisoned.
The captain returned to Old Man Hu and advised, "Uncle Hu, look how angry Dr. Yun is! How could you say that to her? If I hadn't invited her, she wouldn't have come. And I'm also worried about your health. After all, the higher-ups have specifically instructed the village to take good care of you. Just listen to me and let Dr. Yun give you a thorough examination, okay?"
Old Man Hu still had a hint of reluctance on his face, but it was much better than before. The captain noticed his inner wavering and continued to persuade him, "Uncle Hu, they say a good death is worse than a miserable life. You heard what Doctor Yun said just now. Do you really only plan to live for half a year?"
