Song Ci held the ID card and the ticket, and asked Han Zhan, "Are you still going?"
Han Zhan said, "I have received a message."
"Um?"
Han Zhan told Song Ci: "Your grandma, she is still alive."
Song Ci's eyes widened.
She thought of the letter she saw in her grandfather's room. The owner of the letter claimed to be Nangong Yingying, a medicine man imprisoned in Mo's house! Could it be that Nangong Yingying is really her grandmother
Song Ci was curious about how Han Zhan got the news. "Han Zhan, how do you know my grandma is still alive?"
Han Zhan: "I have already got in touch with the people from the Mo family. My informant told me that there is still a medicine man detained in the Mo family. The medicine man is over seventy years old and is called the medicine mother-in-law. .Because Granny Yao is getting older, the head of the Mo family is always watching her, trying to take her heart away to save his daughter."
"Grandma Yao" Song Ci couldn't help asking, "Did your informant tell you the real name of Granny Yao?"
Han Zhan: "Nangong Yingying."
Song Ci completely believed it now.
She bit her lip and said, "I have to talk to Song Fei carefully about this matter. By the way, the daughter of the head of the Mo family, is that Mo Fengying? What's wrong with her?"
Han Zhan: "It is said that the Mo family is a cursed family. The children of each of their patriarchs will not live to be twenty-five years old. And Mo Fengying, who has turned twenty, is only five years away from her death. The Mo family Patriarch, I can't wait any longer."
"Cursed family? Cursed by whom?"
"As for who was cursed, I don't know."
Song Ci said he knew.
She immediately picked up the phone and made a wechat video call to Song Fei.
Song Fei also received the email and was staring at it in a daze. She didn't want to go to Mo's house in her heart, and she didn't dare to bring Song Ci back to Mo's house, fearing that she would never return.
After receiving Song Ci's video, Song Fei asked, "Did you receive the email?"
Song Ci nodded, "I got it, and you got it too?"
"Um."
"Song Fei, I got some news."
"Huh?" Song Fei asked her, "What news?"
"Han Zhan told me that our grandma is still alive and is currently imprisoned in Mo's house. Song Fei, if Dad is still alive, will he save grandma after he knows the news?"
Song Fei didn't make a sound.
The answer, both sisters knew in their hearts.
Knowing that the mother is in trouble but not helping her is called unfilial piety. And Song Tingyun is the most kind-hearted, knowing that there are mountains of swords and fires ahead, he will go to save his mother.
Song Fei let out a breath slowly, she squeezed the letter in her hand tightly, and said, "Song Ci, this time, let me go alone."
Song Ci sneered, "You're dreaming! Grandma is our common grandma. It doesn't make sense for you to be a filial granddaughter by yourself. I have to stay at home and be a turtle."
"But Song Ci, you can't enter Mo's house!"
Song Ci thought for a while, and she said, "Let me think about it and see if there is any way to suppress the fragrance of the medicine man." The so-called policy is above, and there are countermeasures below. The Nangong family has produced so many medicine men. Isn't there a way to hide the medicine man's breath
After Song Ci hung up the video, he went to find Han Zhan again.
Han Zhan was talking on the phone in the study, and he was speaking German, which Song Ci couldn't understand.
Seeing Song Ci coming in, Han Zhan didn't avoid her, he stretched out his right hand towards Song Ci. Song Ci held Han Zhan's crippled right hand and stood in Han Zhan's arms consciously. After Han Zhan hung up the phone, Song Ci asked him, "Brother Han, is there a way to curb the smell of medicine on my body?"
Han Zhan nodded, "Yes, but you will suffer."
Song Ci's eyes lit up, "What is it?"
"Removal of sweat glands."
The breath on the human body, whether it is aroma or odor, is emitted through sweat glands. Some patients suffering from body odor, in order to get rid of body odor, they will remove the sweat glands under the armpit.
Han Zhan said: "After the armpit sweat glands are removed, the medicinal fragrance on your body will be removed, but you must pay attention, and the Mo family must not discover the traces of your operation."
Song Ci: "Okay, arrange surgery for me."
Han Zhan felt sorry for Song Ci. He turned Song Ci around, lowered his head, put his forehead on Song Ci's forehead, and asked distressedly, "Cibao, aren't you afraid of pain?"
Song Ci: "Anesthesia is a good thing."
"But after the anesthesia, it still hurts."
Song Ci's face was indifferent, and she said: "No matter how painful it is, can it be more painful than giving birth?" She has given birth to the child, so is she afraid of two more stabs in the armpit
Han Zhan stroked Song Ci's hair pitifully, and said, "Song Ci, you make me proud."
There were only ten days until the Lantern Festival, and Han Zhan contacted the doctor for Song Ci that afternoon, and Han Zhan took Song Ci to the Armed Police Hospital that night. As soon as the doctor went to work the next day and finished the ward rounds, Song Ci performed a sweat glandectomy.
Today's sweat gland resection is a minimally invasive operation, and Song Ci didn't feel much pain after the operation, but Han Zhan still regarded her as a porcelain baby, and was reluctant to let her walk and eat by herself.
Han Zhan also asked Bei Zhan and Li Li for leave, the reason being that he wanted to stay at home with his wife who had undergone surgery. Bei Zhan and Li Li thought that Song Ci was seriously ill, so they drove to the hospital to visit Song Ci after work on the evening of the sixth day.
After discovering that Song Ci had just undergone minimally invasive surgery to remove sweat glands, the two looked at Han Zhan with disdain.
Han Zhan accepted their gaze generously, and said without blushing, "The injury is on Song Ci's body, and the pain is on my heart. You can't understand."
"Can you act more fake?" Li Li was about to be laughed at by Han Zhan.
On the contrary, Bei Zhan looked at Song Ci strangely, and asked Song Ci, "Sister-in-law, why did you think of removing your sweat glands? You don't have body odor."
Song Ci lied and said, "There are two small tumors growing under my armpits, it's more reassuring to have them removed."
Li Li was a little surprised, "The tumor can grow to the armpit?"
Song Ci: "I'm also surprised, but it's just growing."
"Oh, so, then you have a good rest."
After Bei Zhan and Li Li left, Song Ci asked Han Zhan, "Tell me, Bei Zhan, does he believe what I say?"
Han Zhan shook his head, "He's a ghost, he won't believe it." But Bei Zhan is a smart person, he doesn't know how to ask the truth, even if he doesn't believe it, he has to pretend to believe it.
Song Ci was discharged from the hospital the next day.
Song Fei knew that Song Ci had cut her sweat glands, and felt sorry for her. When I came to see Song Ci, Song Fei's car was full of old hens, eggs, and other nourishing ingredients.
"Take good care of your body. When you go to Mo's house, my sister will find you a place." Song Fei sat beside Song Ci's bed, her expression looked cold, but her eyes were full of distress.
Song Ci nodded, "Song Fei, once you enter Mo's house, you must win, and you must rub that dog Mo Fengying under your feet!"
"Good." With that good voice, Song Fei should feel weak.
When she got home, Song Fei opened the book of Chinese medicine, and when she saw the names of those complicated Chinese medicinal materials, she felt a headache. Damn it, she can't remember it at all!
With her half level, what would she use to fight against the Mo family and other contestants
Song Fei was a little sad.
The time was getting closer and closer to the Lantern Festival. On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, Song Ci ate the Lantern Festival with the children and Han Zhan in advance. On the night before departure, Han Zhan and Song Ci had a long talk all night, explaining many things to her.
Song Ci was deeply shocked when she learned that Han Zhan had already laid a dark line in the dark. It is also a human brain, why is Han Zhan so smart
The next day, Song Ci was drowsy and was sent to Song Fei's house by Han Zhan.
Song Fei was wearing a leather jacket, a pair of denim leggings, and carrying a bag, and dragged Song Ci to the airport. They flew to Chengdu and found the station on the ticket.
When the sisters arrived at the station, they met another twenty-nine contestants in the station's third waiting area.
Every contestant brings an assistant.
The appearance of Sister Song Fei attracted the attention of others.
Song Fei is the youngest virus expert, and she is well-known in China. As soon as she came, she was recognized by others. A man in his thirties greeted Song Fei respectfully, "Teacher Song Fei, are you here too?"
Song Fei is still young, but she is worthy of the honorary title of teacher. She pulled Song Ci to sit down on the empty seat before asking everyone, "Did everyone go to Mo's house to study?"
"Yes, Mr. Song Fei, I didn't expect that you are not only good at virology, but also proficient in Chinese medicine. You are really young and promising! The young people nowadays are really scary!"
Song Fei's expression was calm, but she was crazily complaining in her heart: After knowing the true level of my Chinese medicine, you will be surprised.
Song Ci also dressed very low-key today. She was wearing a hat and sitting beside Song Fei. Song Ci looked at the people who were studying together, and she whispered to Song Fei, "Did you see, there is an uncle in his fifties."
Song Fei glanced back, and indeed saw an uncle. The uncle was wearing a gray padded jacket and glasses, and at first glance he looked like a middle-aged man who liked to be quiet.
Among this group of people, Song Fei and Song Ci were the youngest, and they were also one of the few women. "Calm down." Song Fei told Song Ci, "We are going to be in the top three."
Song Ci nodded, "Yes."
Song Ci never doubted that Song Fei could successfully break into the top three. In Song Ci's eyes, her sister Song Fei is a genius, outstanding in all aspects.
To Song Fei, Song Ci is a mindless worship.
After waiting for more than twenty minutes, the Mo family's special car arrived. It was a bus whose body was printed in light gray. Everyone got on the bus and found their seats to sit down.
The driver is from Sichuan, and he is very enthusiastic. He is familiar with himself. He bowed to Song Fei and the others when he got in the car, and said, "It is my honor to serve you, ladies and gentlemen. Fasten your seat belts, we are now We're about to go."
Song Ci and Song Fei had already fastened their seat belts.
The car drove on the spacious provincial road for a while, and then entered a winding mountain road. The mountain road is not a little bit curved, and often encounters that kind of 120-degree turn.
Song Ci and Song Fei can still get used to it, but some people who rarely ride mountain bikes have already opened their plastic bags and started to vomit. For a while, there was a sour smell in the car.
Song Ci's expression was very distorted. Song Fei hurriedly opened the window of the car to let the cold wind blow in, blowing away the nauseating smell.
The car staggered and continued to drive for an hour and a half, and the motion sickness person even vomited gall water. Everyone's legs were shaking when they got out of the car.
Song Ci and Song Fei stood at the place with the fewest people, looking at the small town in front of them. The town is a typical market town in a remote mountain village, and there may be only such a town tens of kilometers nearby.
There are many people in the town today, and Song Ci saw many old people carrying bamboo baskets on their backs, going to the market to buy things on the street. She grabbed an aunt and asked her: "Auntie, is it a market day in this town today?"
The aunt seldom saw such a beautiful girl as Song Ci, and she was very enthusiastic, "The little girl is from another place, right?"
Song Ci understood what Auntie said, she nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, yes, we are here to visit relatives."
The aunt laughed tolerantly, and she said: "Our side goes to the market every five and nine." Today is the fifteenth, which happens to be the market day.
Song Ci thanked the aunt, walked up to Song Fei, and said to her, "Every fifth and ninth is the market day here. It looks like this. The neighborhood is not considered rich. How could the Mo family live here?"
"The more remote the place, the more suitable it is to do illegal things." Song Fei looked up at the surrounding mountains, and said, "This is really a good place to commit crimes behind closed doors."
The two sisters were talking when they saw the Mo family coming.
The Mo family sent a steward in his forties. The steward stood at the front of the car and bowed to everyone, then said: "Everyone came from a long way, and we are welcome from afar. I am Mo Suiyun from the Mo family. Next, I will personally welcome everyone to Mo’s house.”
"Everyone, please get in the car."
Rows of black Volkswagen cars were parked behind Mo Suiyun, which looked full of grandeur in this remote town. Song Ci complained to Song Fei, she said: "I thought we were going to hike up the mountain."
Song Fei: "Have you read too many novels?"
Every four people take a car, Song Ci sisters take a car with a couple. Among the couple, the wife is a Chinese medicine doctor, the husband is an assistant, and both are over forty years old.
After talking in detail, Song Ci realized that this aunt was actually the director of a traditional Chinese medicine hospital in the south, and she immediately felt disrespected. But the aunt felt honored to be able to ride in the same car with Song Fei.
The roads here are all built against the mountains. Below the road is a cliff more than ten meters high, and below the cliff is a river. And above the road, there are mountains.
Song Ci took a video and sent it to their WeChat family group.
When Yan Jiang saw the road, his legs trembled a little.
After driving for more than half an hour, the car stopped in a parking lot. Song Ci and the others got out of the car, and when they looked up, they saw a row of stone stairs reaching to the sky.
Song Ci's legs were a little weak.
Song Fei glared at Song Ci, "Crow's mouth!" Said that climbing a mountain means climbing a mountain!
Song Ci felt innocent.
Mo Suiyun stood on the first step, facing everyone with a smile, and said, "Everyone, the Mo family is on the top of the mountain. The stone ladder in front of you is called Wanbu Stairs. The first difficulty. There have been countless masters of traditional Chinese medicine who are afraid of walking through this ten thousand-step ladder. Everyone, please follow me up the mountain."
After Mo Suiyun finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and climbed the mountain first.
Song Ci and Song Fei walked among the crowd, climbed two or three hundred steps, and then left many people behind. The higher she climbed, the faster Song Fei's breathing became. Her physical strength was not as good as Song Ci's, so she leaned against the railing to rest when she was tired from climbing.
Looking back, Song Fei's feet trembled a little. Song Ci hurriedly covered Song Fei's eyes, "Don't look."
With her eyes covered, Song Fei felt better. She sat on the stone ladder with her legs hanging down. Song Ci unscrewed the mineral water and gave Song Fei a sip. Song Fei drank the water, and her heartbeat finally calmed down a lot.
"Let's go, keep climbing!"
It is said to be a ten-thousand-step ladder, but in reality there are only a thousand steps. Finally, Song Ci and Song Fei reached the top. Standing on the top of the mountain, Song Ci took out his mobile phone, took a video of the mountain, and sent it to the WeChat group.
Seeing this video, Han Zhan felt weak in his legs. He wondered if the Mo family had a brain hole, built the house on such a high mountain top, and specialized in treating fear of heights
Song Ci and the others waited on the top of the mountain for more than an hour, and other talents climbed to the top of the mountain one after another. Everyone was out of breath, but looking at Mo Suiyun, his face was not red and his heart was beating, even his breathing was calm, everyone admired him.
Opposite Mo's house is also a big mountain. At this moment, the sun has already set behind that mountain, and night is about to fall.
Everyone rested for a while, and then heard Mo Suiyun say: "Before the sun sets, we have to enter the house. Everyone, rest well, please come with me."
A group of people followed behind Mo Suiyun, walked through the wide square, and came to the city wall built by the Mo family. The closed gate was opened, and everyone looked up, and saw a majestic gate about ten meters long and seven meters high.
On the jet-black gate hangs a plaque with a sense of history, which reads 'Mo's family in Shu, the holy hand of the country'. These four characters were written by an emperor in ancient times.
Looking at that door and the majestic eight characters on the door, Song Ci felt his scalp go numb.
Before seeing the true face of the Mo family, he was already shocked by the momentum of the Mo family.
Mo Suiyun bowed solemnly in front of the door, and said loudly: "Disciple Mo Suiyun has returned with 30 students from other races, and asks to open the door!"
After a moment of silence, the black door was rumbled open from the inside. Inside the gate, there is also a long stone alley. On both sides of the alley, there are various herbal medicine houses next to each other. At the end of the alley, there is a three-story ancient building called Shensi Building.
At the entrance of that ancient building, there is a stone platform, on which a bow and arrow is offered. The bow and arrow were all red, and the afterglow of the setting sun fell on the bow and arrow, making the bow and arrow full of murderous aura.
Song Ci stared at the bow and arrow, and the blood all over his body suddenly started to flow backwards.
Suddenly, her scalp went numb, and she felt a shuddering feeling that her soul was being summoned.
Song Ci squeezed Song Fei's hand suddenly, and asked her in a low voice, "Song Fei, did you hear that?"
Song Fei asked her: "What?" Seeing that Song Ci's face was not quite right, Song Fei thought of Song Ci's identity as a medicine man, so she quickly held Song Ci's hand and reminded her: "Song Ci, keep calm."
Song Ci took a few deep breaths, stared at the bow and arrow, and said in a low voice, "Song Fei, I heard a woman crying in my ear. The voice was so loud, her lungs cracked, and she was so desperate."
Song Ci suddenly started to cry, the uncontrollable kind. "Song Fei, I feel so uncomfortable."
Song Fei hurriedly moved her steps to stand in front of Song Ci, preventing others from seeing Song Ci's tears. Song Ci took the opportunity to wipe away her tears, and together with Song Fei, walked quickly to the building with everyone.
Passing by the bow and arrow, Song Ci couldn't help but quietly raised her head, and saw a row of small characters engraved on the bow and arrow——
Nangong Xian.
Song Ci quickly lowered her head, even though everyone walked into the building. Driven by Mo Suiyun, everyone bowed to the ancestors of the Mo family in the building to show their respect.
After paying homage to the ancestors of the Mo family, everyone went out through the back door and came to the square behind the building.
Standing on the square, they proudly glimpsed the true face of the Mo family. The Mo family was built in a valley surrounded by mountains. On the high mountains in all directions, according to different altitudes, there are precious medicinal materials that cannot be seen by the outside world.
The Mo family mainly lives in the valley, and a part of the Mo family lives on the mountainside. Between the mountains and the mountains, tour buses are used to pass.
So when people stand on the square and look down, they can see countless railway stakes and cables, which are like a net, protecting and imprisoning the Mo family.
Everyone was shocked by the scene in front of them, and they didn't speak.
This is a paradise isolated from the world, and everyone in it is a genius of traditional Chinese medicine.
Mo Suiyun distributed the room number to everyone, and each contestant shared a room with his assistant, and their rooms were all arranged halfway up the mountain to the east.
Song Ci and Song Fei took the cable car to the mountainside of Dongshan and found their small building. After entering the room, Song Ci threw the things on the table, she fell on the bed, held down her beating heart, and said in a low voice, "Song Fei, as soon as I entered Mo's house, I couldn't breathe."
Song Fei didn't have the same feelings as Song Ci. She was very worried about Song Ci, so she hugged Song Ci and comforted her: "Song Ci, you're just too nervous. Rest for a night and you'll be fine tomorrow."
"hope so"
There were many herbs drying in the yard in front of the small building. Song Ci smelled the smell of those herbs and soon fell asleep. Song Fei wanted to make a call, picked up the phone, only to find that the phone had no signal.
It's really a secluded place.
After Mo Suiyun arranged everyone, he took the cable car to the north mountain and met the old head of the Mo family. The old Patriarch's name was Mo Zhangkuang, and he used to have an older brother named Mo Qingkuang.
Mo Zhangkuang is in his seventies, but he doesn't look old, he is very tough.
When Mo Suiyun asked to see him, Mo Zhangkuang was watching the news broadcast.
"Old Patriarch." Mo Suiyun nodded to the Patriarch, and seeing that the Patriarch hadn't turned to look at him, he continued: "All the students have been brought back, thirty, no more, no less. I followed the old Patriarch's instructions. I ordered that I paid special attention to this group of students, but no medicine man was found."
Hearing this, Mo Zhangkuang turned sideways and took a look at Mo Suiyun. He said, "Did no one notice any problems when passing by Shensi Building?"
The Shensi building is the building dedicated to the ancestors of the Mo family.
Anyone who is a medicine man will be summoned by the Sun Chasing Arrow when passing through the Shensi Building, and the blood in his body will boil. At that time, the medicine fragrance on the medicine man's body is the strongest, and any Mo tribe can smell the medicine man's breath.
