Chapter 328: Lame Leg
Yu Jinxiu said he was not comforted.
His hand holding the injection continued to tremble, and he asked with difficulty, "Boss, why don't we tell Mr. Xi? I'm afraid I can't handle such a difficult task."
Ruan Qi: "This month's bonus will be an additional 10,000 yuan. In addition to teaching you the secrets of acupuncture and moxibustion, I will also teach you two sets of pill recipes."
Yu Jinxiu: “!!!”
Young Master Yu, who is obsessed with medicine, cannot resist such temptation at all.
He threw away his moral integrity and immediately changed his tone: "Boss, don't worry, leave everything to me. If you lose control of your emotions, I will immediately knock you out and bring you back to the imperial capital safely!"
…
More than fifty minutes later, the taxi stopped at the entrance of a village in Gaoqing District, Shanghu City.
Ruan Qi scanned the QR code to pay, put on a mask and a baseball cap, and got out of the car with Yu Jinxiu.
Xiu Jin looked up at the stone tablet at the entrance of the village.
"Lijia Village? I didn't expect that such a remote and backward place could exist in the bustling Shanghu City. Boss, does the person you're looking for live here?"
Ruan Qi pushed down the brim of her hat and uttered a low "hmm".
"He lives in the north of the village, not far from the village entrance. Let's walk over."
Although Lijia Village is under the management of Shanghai City, it has not been affected by the prosperity and advancement of big cities.
As we walked along, we saw low, old buildings on both sides. The road was also bumpy, with not even a flat asphalt road.
Ruan Qi and Yu Jinxiu walked for more than ten minutes, one step deep and one step shallow, and finally saw a low two-story building with a mottled exterior wall.
Yu Jinxiu wiped his sweat and asked, "Boss, is this the place?"
Ruan Qi glanced at the route map Wen Ran sent her, then looked up at the two-story building in front of her, and finally nodded.
"Here."
Upon hearing this, Yu Jinxiu immediately walked forward and knocked twice on the gate.
The rusty iron gate made a "dong dong dong" sound.
Immediately afterwards, a burst of noisy dog barking was heard in the yard.
The barking of the dog continued for more than half a minute, and finally, footsteps were heard from the yard.
Yu Jinxiu was an ordinary person with average hearing, so he didn't notice anything unusual about the footsteps. But Ruan Qi raised her eyebrows slightly after hearing the footsteps.
Generally speaking, people apply force evenly when walking. Even if the force applied by the left and right feet is different when they land, the error will not be too big.
But at this time, the footsteps coming from the yard were obviously one foot strong, while the other foot was very light.
There is only one situation in which this kind of footsteps will appear -
This person has a problem with his legs.
Either one of his legs was injured, or he had a limp.
Which situation will Qiu Peng be in?
Ruan Qi was thinking when the footsteps in the yard were getting closer and closer, and then the rusty gate slowly opened.
A middle-aged man wearing a gray short-sleeved shirt and black trousers, with a slightly hunched figure, appeared in the field of vision.
Ruan Qi's eyes quickly swept over him, and finally, they landed on his right leg inconspicuously.
Although the man was wearing very loose trousers, it was still obvious that his right leg seemed somewhat deformed.
Ruan Qi stared at his deformed right leg for two seconds and quickly looked away.
According to the information Wen Ran found, Qiu Peng was a healthy man with all his limbs intact ten years ago.
Since he had all his limbs intact back then, how did this deformed right leg come about?
Ruan Qi narrowed her eyes thoughtfully, and when she raised her head again, a harmless smile appeared on her face.
"Hello, uncle. Is this Qiu Peng's house?"
