"You're quite angry!" As soon as Wang Qingliu lay back on the hospital bed, he heard a very familiar voice coming from the door.
When he looked up and saw the couple, he immediately felt that he was saved. He immediately climbed up from the bed and sat up. He looked at them excitedly and asked, "When did you two come back?"
Zhang Meng noticed that he was talking quite loudly, especially the noise of their quarrel just now. Maybe everyone in the entire building heard it. It seemed that her previous worries were unnecessary.
"I just came back today, and as soon as I got back, I heard that you were in the hospital, so I came to see you. I was worried that I would see you covered in wounds here, but now it seems that I was overthinking it. Your body is in better shape than those of us who are not sick." Zhang Meng said with a smile.
Wang Qingliu gave a bitter smile, "Zhang Meng, please stop teasing me. I've been resting for half a month now. Half a month ago, when I was admitted here, I was nearly half dead. The doctors here asked my colleagues to help me call my family to come and take care of my funeral. Do you think my condition was serious?"
Zhang Meng was startled and immediately sat down in front of him. "What happened? Aren't you usually very careful? How did you become like this?"
Wang Qingliu's smile froze, and he looked at the couple with a serious expression, "Brother Gu, Zhang Meng, I found some clues about the missing woman's case. Would you like to hear about it?"
Gu Mingtai stood beside the bed, looked at him coldly and said, "Is it related to those local officials?"
When Wang Qingliu heard what he said, he immediately jumped out of bed and looked at him in surprise, "Brother Gu, how did you know about this? Did you find out about it too?"
Gu Mingtai revealed a mysterious smile, "I didn't find out, you told me yourself."
Wang Qingliu looked puzzled. "I'm telling you, I haven't even contacted you. How could I possibly tell you this? Brother Gu, you must be mistaken."
"Just now, when you were on the phone, you were so rude to Director Mao, and he refused to do his job. Based on these two clues."
Wang Qingliu immediately looked at him in admiration, "Brother Gu, you are amazing. You guessed it based on these two things. Amazing."
Zhang Meng smiled at Gu Mingtai, then quickly turned her head anxiously and touched Wang Qingliu's arm. "Stop flattering me and tell me if it's true."
The smile on Wang Qingliu's face slowly faded. "Brother Gu's guess is correct. I discovered that the mayor of this town is involved in this matter. I also discovered that he has close contacts with people from Country R. I suspect he may not be from China."
"Have you investigated this matter clearly?" Zhang Meng raised her eyebrows.
"I checked it very clearly. If I hadn't checked it very clearly, I wouldn't have suffered this disaster." Wang Qingliu said gritting his teeth.
After he finished speaking, the surroundings were quiet for a while. At this moment, Gu Mingtai suddenly said, "Don't worry about this matter for now. Just stay in the hospital and recuperate. We will investigate this matter for you."
Zhang Meng suddenly remembered the black fish meat she had brought with her, and immediately took it out and placed it in front of Wang Qingliu with a mysterious look on her face. "This is for your health. Eat it well and don't waste it. This thing is hard to buy even with money."
When Wang Qingliu heard that it was hard to buy with money, he thought it was ginseng or something, and opened the bag of dried fish with a happy face. However, as soon as he opened it, a fishy smell rushed into his nostrils. When he opened it completely, he saw dozens of pieces of dried fish.
"Zhang Meng, do you think I, Wang Qingliu, am poor? I just said a few pieces of dried fish are hard to buy even if you have money. Let me tell you, if you give me a few dollars, I can buy you twice as much dried fish. Do you believe it?"
Zhang Meng chuckled and snatched the bag of dried fish from his hand. "You know what? This dried fish is not ordinary dried fish. Have you heard of snakehead fish?"
Wang Qingliu was stunned and shook his head. "I've never heard of this. Is this fish expensive?"
Zhang Meng swallowed and explained to him seriously, "Not only is it expensive, it's also hard to find. Do you know where it comes from? From here!"
Zhang Meng pointed to the ground.
Wang Qingliu was stunned at first, staring at the ground for a long time. Suddenly, his eyes widened and he looked at Zhang Meng in disbelief, "The underworld?"
He stammered these three words.
Zhang Meng nodded and gently poked his forehead. "It seems that you are not stupid. You came from the underworld. So, what do you think about this fish meat?"
"Can the things in the underworld be eaten?" Wang Qingliu asked with a pout.
Zhang Meng snorted, "I've been eating it for several months. Do you think I'm dead?"
Immediately afterwards, Wang Qingliu actually reached out and pinched the back of her hand.
Zhang Meng hissed in pain and glared at him angrily, "Why are you pinching me? It hurts so much."
Wang Qingliu laughed when she cried out in pain and apologized, "Don't they often show on TV that if you want to know if someone is dead or not, you just pinch them and you'll know!"
Zhang Meng rolled her eyes, pinched him back, and gritted her teeth, "Don't lie to me. Is that how it's played out on TV? They were just acting. They pinched me because they were dreaming. Who would pinch someone to decide life or death?"
Wang Qingliu hissed and said with an embarrassed look, "It seems not."
After rolling his eyes a few times, Wang Qingliu immediately snatched the dried fish from Zhang Meng's hand like a treasure, "You gave me this dried fish, do you have the nerve to take it back?"
Zhang Meng chuckled a few times, "I don't know who complained that the hospital gift I gave was too light."
Wang Qingliu's face immediately flushed with embarrassment, "That's because I didn't know your stuff was so good!"
Gu Mingtai watched from the side with a smile on his face. After seeing Wang Qingliu, the couple finally left the hospital.
After finally arriving in the town, the couple did not sit back immediately, but walked on the streets and alleys of the town.
When they walked to a clinic, Zhang Meng suddenly stopped.
"Gu Mingtai, I want to make an elixir!"
Zhang Meng said this in a very low voice, so that only the couple could hear it.
Gu Mingtai, who was walking, stopped immediately when he heard her announcement. "Are you sure?"
Zhang Meng touched his chin, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly nodded vigorously, "Yeah, I'm sure!"
Gu Mingtai smiled and shook her hand, "If you are sure, then practice!"
Zhang Meng smiled, but the smile soon faded. "It still doesn't work. We don't have any herbs around us. I looked through that book, and it says that in order to make an elixir, you first need herbs!"
Gu Mingtai suddenly smiled.
Zhang Meng, who was worrying about the medicinal herbs, looked up at him as soon as she heard his laughter. When she saw the star-like smile on his face, an unbelievable answer flashed through her mind.
"Gu Mingtai, do you know where to find medicinal herbs?" She asked, holding his arm tightly.
