"Dad, I'm sorry..."
Yuan Ye finally realized his mistake and apologized to his father.
At this moment, he no longer doubted whether he was his father's biological son.
The main problem is that I'm already in a bad mood, and asking this question now would probably make me furious.
At that moment, Lin Yu used a silver needle to pick up a Gu worm from the blood on the ground.
However, the moment it pierced the Gu worm, the Gu worm turned into pus and blood that slowly flowed down.
"It really is a Void Gu!" Lin Yu couldn't help but nod. All the characteristics of this Gu worm matched the characteristics of the Void Gu he had seen in ancient books. It seemed that his judgment was correct.
The only way to deal with this kind of Gu worm is through special sound waves.
"thump!"
Liang Zhenxing, who was standing to the side, suddenly knelt down, his face very unnatural, and he seemed somewhat ashamed.
"Liang Taidou!" Yuan Fang exclaimed in astonishment.
It should be noted that Liang Zhenxing is a leading figure in traditional Chinese medicine in Harbin, a person whom even the mayor treats with great respect. Unexpectedly, he has knelt down at this moment.
Liang Zhenxing said with a look of shame, "I made a bet with Commander Lin before, and now that Commander Lin has won, I naturally have to kowtow to him!"
Although Liang Zhenxing was somewhat arrogant, he was also a man of his word and accepted his loss. He immediately began to kowtow to Lin Yu.
He slammed his head against the ground with a loud thud.
"Liang Taidou! You absolutely mustn't!"
Yuan Hong was so excited that he almost fell off the bed. Fortunately, Yuan Fang and Yuan Ye caught him.
Yuan Hong quickly said to Lin Yu, "Commander Lin, Liang Taidou was just worried about my condition. If he has offended you in any way, I apologize on his behalf!"
"I'll kowtow to you!"
Yuan Hong was also a grateful person. Although Lin Yu saved his life, he would have been dead long ago if it weren't for Liang Zhenxing. He wouldn't have been able to wait for Lin Yu.
Therefore, in his eyes, Liang Zhenxing was also his benefactor!
Yuan Hong struggled to climb off the bed and tried to kowtow to Lin Yu. Upon seeing this, Lin Yu quickly stepped forward and helped him up.
With a helpless expression, he said, "Forget it! I didn't make him kowtow to me. He wanted to kowtow himself. We're all just trying to treat and save lives. I'm not that bored!"
As Lin Yu spoke, he looked at Liang Zhenxing and said coldly, "However, Master Liang, traditional Chinese medicine is profound and extensive. We can only glimpse a part of it in our entire lives. When treating patients, how can we be arrogant and complacent? We should use a humble and pragmatic heart to climb the peak of medicine and save more people. This is what we doctors should do! Let's leave it at that for today. I hope we can encourage each other!"
Upon hearing these words, Liang Zhenxing's old body trembled, and his face grew even more ashamed. He sighed and said, "Mr. Lin's words were like a wake-up call! I have learned a lot! Compared to Mr. Lin's bright moon, I am like a firefly. I am truly ashamed. From now on, wherever Mr. Lin is, I will give him my due respect. I will take my leave!"
Liang Zhenxing couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. Carrying the medicine box, he walked outside with a face full of shame.
"Take care, Liang Taidou!"
Yuan Hong immediately stood up to see him off. But after taking only two steps, he swayed and was supported by the siblings.
Catching his breath, he clasped his hands in a fist salute to Lin Yu and said, "Commander Lin, thank you for saving my life. I, Yuan Hong, will never forget your great kindness. In the future, as long as you call upon me, I, Yuan Hong, will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Although Yuan Hong was a businessman, his writing had a certain江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the world of martial arts and chivalry) spirit.
However, Lin Yu was not paying attention to that at the moment, but staring intently at the Gu worms on the ground.
As the blood congealed, the illusory Gu gradually turned into blood and disappeared.
"No need for formalities. I'm wondering who you've offended that would do something as vicious as casting a curse on you!" Lin Yu said, his eyes flashing.
This kind of Gu poison is very rare. If he hadn't read the relevant ancient books, he wouldn't even have recognized it.
Yuan Hong's expression froze, and for a moment he didn't know how to speak.
call!
After a long while, he took a deep breath and sighed, "Retribution! It's all retribution!"
"Retribution?" Lin Yu was slightly puzzled.
Yuan Hong nodded and said, "I started feeling unwell after I entered the ancestral hall to pray..."
"Commander Lin, you don't know, fifty years ago, our Yuan family ancestors committed a grave mistake, and even now, it remains a bloody debt!"
Yuan Hong shook his head, closed his eyes tightly, and his body trembled slightly.
Lin Yu frowned. "Mr. Yuan, since it was fifty years ago, you should have been a child back then. This matter shouldn't concern you. Why don't you tell us about it?"
Yuan Hong nodded and began to recount: "Fifty years ago, in the 1960s, there was a famine in our area. Our Yuan family was considered a large household at the time, and we had some grain. My father was afraid that the commune would steal the grain, so he hid it in the ancestral hall! But on the very night the grain was hidden, a child sneaked into our ancestral hall, discovered the grain, and threatened my father on the spot, saying he would report our family!"
“In those days, as you know, if word got out about something like this, our whole family would be arrested and imprisoned. We would face being labeled and having our class background questioned! My father was terrified. He discussed with the child, planning to use grain to silence him, but the child made outrageous demands, asking for half of our family's grain. In the ensuing argument, my father accidentally killed the child…”
After Yuan Hong finished speaking, he took a deep breath, feeling extremely heavy-hearted.
This incident had a significant impact on his entire childhood.
Lin Yu couldn't help but shake his head upon hearing this. No matter what, it was still a human life, and the Yuan family had indeed committed a terrible sin.
However, Lin Yu was still curious, "So, what does this have to do with the Gu poison you're suffering from?"
"Of course it's related!" Yuan Hong clenched his fists tightly and said nervously, "I was there at the time and saw the child struggle and take his last breath. But before he died, he said something that sent chills down my spine!"
"What did you say?" Lin Yu asked anxiously.
Yuan Hong's eyes flickered, and he said with a solemn expression, "He said that he would not die in vain, but would become a maggot clinging to our bones, chasing after our Yuan family's descendants for all eternity to collect his debt! After he finished speaking, his body began to rot, and then maggot-like worms crawled out of the rotten parts, just like the worms you just saw, and soon turned into pus and blood and disappeared!"
"So that's how it is?"
After listening to Yuan Hong's account, Lin Yu fully understood what had happened.
So, this Gu worm really is related to a murder case from decades ago!
