Chapter 125 Jinjiang Debut
Upon hearing this, the people around became interested. Those who were originally preparing to leave gathered around again. Lame Brother also gave up going home from get off work and stayed with the girl. Even Gao Jin in the kitchen slowed down his cooking.
The girl was in a state of panic and could not speak a complete sentence. In order to comfort the girl, Weng Xuhua got up and grabbed some Polygonatum odoratum, Ophiopogon japonicus and Adenophora radix from the medicine shelf and made a cup of soothing tea for the girl. After drinking the tea, the girl's mood improved a lot. With everyone's encouraging eyes, the girl began to tell her story:
"My name is Ye Xian, I'm 23 years old, from the south, and now I'm an ordinary nurse in a hospital in Beijing. My job is very busy, sometimes I'm so busy that I don't even have time to wash my face, so I never paid much attention to my appearance. Until recently, I discovered that my body seemed to have some strange changes."
"It started with shoes. I sent a pair of sneakers to the dry cleaners, and when I got them back, I felt that the shoes were one size too big. I suspected that the dry cleaners' employees had handled them violently and damaged my shoes, so I went to question the dry cleaners, but they denied it, so I just let it go."
"Then there's clothes. I usually wear the nurse uniform issued by my company. I didn't think it was a big deal before, but this month I always feel that the uniform is loose. I thought I was too busy recently and lost weight, and I was a little happy in my heart."
"That's it anyway," Ye Xian concluded. "I found that many of the things I'm used to in life have become larger than usual, but I didn't take it seriously. After all, I was really too busy and had no time to think about these things. But just the day before yesterday, our hospital arranged a physical examination for its employees—"
Ye Xian said, taking out a piece of paper: "This is my physical examination report, Master, look, it says that I am 155 cm tall, but a year ago, when I did the physical examination before employment, my height was clearly 160 cm. In just one year, I became five centimeters shorter!"
Everyone made sounds of surprise. Ye Xian continued, "The colleague in charge of the physical examination in our unit also found it very strange. She reminded me to take care of my body. That's when I became really scared. I finally confirmed one thing - my body is shrinking!"
"After receiving the results of the medical examination, I immediately applied for annual leave from my company and started seeing a doctor. The doctor prescribed a lot of examination items for me. I checked myself from head to toe, but there was nothing abnormal in any of them, which means I was not sick."
Ye Xian took a breath and said, "The doctor told me that he really couldn't diagnose what disease this is. Maybe I have some rare disease that has not been discovered yet. He suggested that I go see a rare disease expert."
"But it's not easy to get an appointment with a rare disease specialist. I checked the system and the nearest one won't be available for another month. I can't wait that long! I'm afraid if this continues, my body will continue to shrink. I'll go from 1.5 meters to 1.4 meters, 1.3 meters, and finally become a dwarf!"
Ye Xian sighed, "It was at this time that I thought of you. I am your fan. I often watch your live broadcast replays when I am on night shift. I believe that the stories in your live broadcast room are true. As the saying goes, if science can't solve a problem, try metaphysics. So I came to Qingshui Town with the idea of trying my luck. I didn't expect to be selected all of a sudden. I don't know whether to say that I am lucky or unlucky. Anyway, Master, please save me!"
Bai Mian asked: "Did you feel any discomfort while your body was shrinking? Did your parents or other family members experience this?"
Ye Xian shook his head: "The doctor has asked you these questions many times. I don't feel any discomfort, I don't even feel anything, and my family has never had this situation. This is not a family hereditary disease."
Lame Brother's eyes turned and he said, "Hearing this description, it really does sound like a sorcery. We have received clients who were bewitched or cursed before, and they were all caught without knowing it."
Bai Mian nodded. Through Ye Xian's description, she had ruled out the possibility of illness. If it was a physiological disease, then when the bones shrank, the person would definitely feel pain, but Ye Xian did not.
"The only thing that can do this is evil magic, and it's not just any evil magic. It looks like we've met an interesting opponent this time."
Hearing Bai Mian say this, Ye Xian became more and more frightened. She shrank back and said, "Someone cast a spell on me? Who is it? Who wants to harm me? I'm a hardworking office worker, and I'm always cautious with everyone. I'm already pitiful enough, how could someone want to harm me?!"
Bai Mian asked her: "Have you ever offended anyone?"
Ye Xian thought about it and said helplessly, "That's too many. For those of us in this industry, it's common for patients to complain. For example, this month, I have received three complaints. The first one was from a man. I inserted a catheter in his body, but he said I was being rude to him. The second one was from an old man with presbyopia. I helped him prepare medicine at the bedside, but he said I was drinking milk tea during work hours. The third one was from a mother. She complained to me because I didn't agree to let her child jump the queue, which made her child's condition worse. Oh my God, her child just had a cold!"
Ye Xian finished speaking in a collapse, and spread his hands to Bai Mian: "This is how it is in this line of work, I'm used to it. If I offended anyone, it must be the patients of the hospital, but there are only some minor frictions between us, and it's okay for them to complain about me, but is it worth it to use evil magic to mess with me? Master, what do you think?"
Bai Mian supported his head with his hands and shook his head slightly: "No, it's not them. To use evil magic on a person, you need to know the specific time of birth of the other person. These patients only know your name and phone number at most. Even if they want to cast evil magic on you, they don't have the conditions."
Ye Xian frowned: "If someone knows my birth time, then it must be someone very close to me, besides my parents... I know, it's my ex-boyfriend's mother!"
Lame Brother repeated: "Your ex-boyfriend's mother?"
Ye Xian said sadly, "When I was in college, I had a boyfriend from the same school. His name was He Xiaofeng, and he studied finance. We graduated in the same year. He came to Beijing in pursuit of a high salary, and I came to Beijing because of him. After our jobs were stable, I talked to him about getting married, but he kept shirking his responsibilities and refused to talk to me seriously. Only after my repeated questioning did he tell me the truth - his mother did not agree with our marriage and asked him to break up with me."
"His mother said that I am from the south and he is from the north, and there is a huge gap between the two sides. Our diets and cultural habits are different, and there will definitely be friction in our lives in the future. Moreover, I live too far away from home, and it is not convenient to go home once. The air tickets alone cost a lot of money. His mother said that the two of us are not suitable, and He Xiaofeng should marry a northern girl to save trouble."
Hearing this, Lame Brother was furious: "What kind of talk is this? You came all the way to Beijing for him, but now he wants to dump you? If you think it's not suitable, why didn't you say it earlier? Why did he wait until you have a stable job? He is obviously playing tricks on you! If my daughter is treated like this in the future, I will definitely go to his house with a stick and break that guy's legs!"
Ye Xian shook his head: "Don't say that. Xiaofeng is a very good person. He was willing to marry me, but his mother insisted on breaking us up. We worked hard together for a long time. Xiaofeng even had a big fight with his mother and almost got into a fight, but his mother just wouldn't agree. In the end, I had no choice but to let go. After all, there was no need for me to persist in a relationship that had no result."
Lame brother was so angry that he stamped his feet, hating the girl in front of him for not being smart: "Are you stupid? You are still defending him at this time? I am a man, I can tell you, when you get married, the attitude of the boy's parents towards you is the attitude of the man towards you. No matter what his mother said, he acquiesced. The parents' disagreement is just an excuse. It's just that the man wants to dump you!"
Ye Xian shook his head stubbornly: "No, Xiao Feng is a good man. I have been with him for four years. I believe in his character. We broke up peacefully. Even if we broke up, I don't want to say bad things about him. The one who should be scolded is his mother!"
"After we broke up, I still kept Xiaofeng's contact information. I thought that if we couldn't be lovers, we could still be friends. Sometimes when he posted on WeChat Moments, I would like his comments. Because of this, his mother came directly to my hospital."
"When I arrived at the hospital that day, I saw a crowd of people gathered in front of the hospital. I walked closer and saw a big banner hanging at the door. It read: 'Ye Xian is a vixen, shameless, and she still pesters my son after we broke up. She is delusional.' When I saw the banner, my head suddenly filled with blood and I almost fainted."
"Later, I asked for leave from my company. I don't even remember how I got home that day. My colleagues were pointing fingers at me, and even the patients looked at me strangely. I only remember that the person holding the banner was Xiaofeng's mother! I will never forget her face!"
"After this happened, Xiaofeng apologized to me frantically on WeChat, but I didn't dare to say a word to him anymore. I cancelled all the likes I had given him in the past and deleted all his contact information. Only then did the matter come to an end."
Ye Xian said, then changed the subject: "But in the past month, I often saw Xiao Feng downstairs where I live. I suspected that he wanted to get back together with me, but I was always avoiding him, so he never had the chance to say it."
"Seeing that we are about to revive, Xiaofeng's mother must be getting restless. I think the evil magic this time is most likely done by her, no doubt about it! When I first met her, she asked about my birth time and said she wanted to find someone to look at our horoscopes. Who else could it be but her?"
Looking at Ye Xian's determined eyes, Bai Mian slowly took her pulse. After a moment, Bai Mian let go of her hand and gently shook his head at Ye Xian: "It's not her, you are wrong."
Ye Xian's eyes showed shock, and he felt a little disappointed: "If it wasn't his mother, could it be... could it be Xiao Feng who did it?"
