Mu Qingli followed Old Mrs. Luo to Old Mr. Luo's room upstairs and looked down at Old Mr. Luo who was lying unconscious on the bed.
Mr. Luo was covered with a thick quilt, but his exposed face showed sunken eye sockets and cheeks, without a trace of flesh.
"Grandma Luo, why is Grandpa Luo so thin?" Mu Qingli frowned. Could it be that he has been in a coma for a long time?
"When your Grandpa Luo first got sick, he could still eat. However, no matter how much he ate, he kept getting thinner. Later, he began to feel pain all over his body and could hardly eat. He gradually fell into a coma and then woke up at intervals. When he was unconscious, he was kept alive with Western medicine's nutrient solution. When he was awake, he ate very little, and he looked like a ghost! Poor Grandpa Luo, a 1.8-meter-tall man, but he didn't even weigh 100 kilograms!" Grandma Luo said, wiping away her tears.
"Mom! Don't cry first, listen to what the young doctor says!" The second son Luo Jingchu couldn't bear to see the old lady cry, so he hurriedly said.
Sure enough, as soon as she said this, the old lady immediately held back her tears and looked up at Mu Qingli.
Mu Qingli stepped forward and took Mr. Luo's pulse.
I found that his pulse was beating very irregularly, sometimes fast and sometimes slow.
Mu Qingli discovered that there was something wrong with the tendons and veins in his arms, which was somewhat similar to Ye Tian's original condition.
"Grandma Luo, how many years has Grandpa Luo been suffering from this disease?" Mu Qingli asked in order to confirm her guess.
"It's been twenty years now, people are worn down to this point little by little!"
After hearing this, Mu Qingli carefully checked Luo Lao's tendons and veins again. Sure enough, it was still the method of separating tendons and dislocating bones.
Mu Qingli was a little shocked. This old man had also fought on the border of Yun Province. Could it be that there was something evil hidden in that place?
Mu Qingfeng's father, Li Weiyong, also disappeared at the border of Yunnan Province. It has been twenty years since he disappeared, right?
"Grandma Luo, do you know Li Weiyong? He was also in Yunnan Province back then..."
"I know Li Weiyong. He was a battalion commander under my father. It seems that he disappeared during a counterattack against hostile elements!" Luo Jingfan suddenly said.
After they followed the two old men upstairs to the room, they stood by silently, only interrupting when necessary.
After hearing this, Mu Qingli wondered if their illnesses were related.
"Besides Old Mrs. Luo, is there anyone else who contracted some inexplicable strange disease after returning from there?" Mu Qingli asked Old Mrs. Luo seriously.
"This... I really didn't notice it. Xiaofan, Xiaochu, do you know?" Ever since Mr. Luo fell ill, Old Mrs. Luo has been taking good care of him and has no time to take care of anything else.
"I don't know about others, but one of my dad's guards, Lin Xiangdong, was the same age as me, but now he's as old as my dad! To put it bluntly, it's just like what's written in the picture book, as if all his yang energy was sucked away by a goblin! He ages so fast!" Luo Jingfan recalled.
"No wonder I haven't seen Xiangdong since twenty years ago!" Old Mrs. Luo said, and became sad again.
"Uncle Luo! Find a way to contact Grandpa Luo's former subordinates and see how many of them have contracted strange diseases and how many are intact? I suspect that they have provoked some evil people in Yun Province! They have been poisoned!" Mu Qingli looked at Luo Jingfan seriously and said.
She didn't say that she might have been bewitched.
If the symptoms of these people are different, even if they are really poisoned by a poisonous insect, they are varied and not the same kind of insect, so it will be difficult to treat.
The fact that people are still falling victim to these attacks shows that those bad elements who became active twenty years ago are still continuing to harm others.
It seems that I have to plan my trip to Yunnan Province as a major event and put it on the agenda as soon as possible.
"Okay! I'll check it out right away!" Luo Jingfan realized that this matter was no trivial matter. If that was the case, things would probably not be that simple.
Luo Jingfan didn't want to waste time here, he turned around, went downstairs and walked out.
When the people waiting in the hall saw Luo Jingfan coming downstairs, they all asked him how he was.
Luo Jingfan didn't want to pay any attention to them. He walked out with a sullen face and big strides.
This made the Luo family members waiting in the hall look at each other in confusion and start to speculate.
"Is it that the young doctor is not good enough?"
"Did you treat him badly?"
"Did you go to see another doctor?"
"I told you! How can a young girl treat a disease? Only our mother takes people seriously!"
The two daughters-in-law who had been scolded now had something to say and started to fan the flames.
Mu Qingli knew that Mr. Luo had also been hit by the bone-breaking technique, but she was not sure whether there was a Gu in his body. To verify whether the Gu was present, she was afraid that she would have to seek help from outside forces.
Mu Qingli lifted the quilt and looked at Mr. Luo's hand.
The ten fingers are black, which is a very consistent sign of being poisoned by a Gu.
"Grandma Luo! Did Mr. Luo do anything particularly strange when he first came back?" Now that Mr. Luo was unconscious, Mu Qingli could only ask as much as possible in detail.
"Particularly strange behavior?" Old Mrs. Luo began to recall.
"By the way, at that time, I don't know what went wrong with him, he actually said that raw soybeans were delicious, just like fried beans, the more you eat, the more fragrant it becomes! He would chew two handfuls every day! I don't know if he got an upset stomach from eating soybeans, but one time he had a severe stomachache and vomited several mouthfuls of black water!" said Old Mrs. Luo angrily.
After hearing this, Mu Qingli understood what was going on. Old Luo was also poisoned by a Gu, using the same method of breaking tendons and twisting bones.
However, the insect must be different from Ye Tian’s.
The poisonous insects in Ye Tian's body made his blood and energy so full that he was about to explode, while the poisonous insects in Luo Lao's body almost sucked all of Luo Lao's blood and energy dry. These are two completely different extremes.
