Breakfast started and ended in an awkward atmosphere. None of the three people mentioned what happened last night, otherwise they would be embarrassed to death.
After eating something in a hurry, Jiang Hao put down the bowl and chopsticks and left.
Tang Zhen asked, "Where are you going?"
"Go to work." Jiang Hao hurriedly walked to the door and opened the door. She turned back and glanced at Ning Tao, who was still sitting at the dining table. "Come out, I have something to tell you."
Ning Tao didn't know why, but he glanced at Tang Zhen.
Tang Zhen gave Ning Tao a harmless smile, "I don't want you to accompany me. I made an appointment with the sisters in the community to go shopping for groceries."
Ning Tao, "..."
When did he say he wanted to be with her
Tang Zhen urged: "Go quickly, you young people, go and have fun. It's rare for you to come to Beidu. Let Jiang Hao accompany you to visit the Forbidden City Museum, the Great Wall, Prince Yong's Mansion and so on. If you don't come back in the evening, give me Just send a text message..."
"Goodbye, aunt." Ning Tao didn't dare to listen anymore, put down the dishes and stood up to leave. When passing by the sofa, he took his small medicine box.
Tang Zhen smiled and said, "Please be safe when you go out. Goodbye."
What does it mean to pay attention to safety
Ning Tao ran out of the door as if running away.
Jiang Hao waited for Ning Tao to walk into the corridor before saying to her mother: "It's all your bad idea!"
Tang Zhen spread her hands and said, "Do you blame me?"
The door slammed shut.
In the corridor, Ning Tao stopped, thinking about how to explain, but when Jiang Hao came down and stood in front of him, he didn't know how to speak.
Jiang Hao stared at Ning Tao, without saying a word, just looking with a fierce look in his eyes, as if Ning Tao owed her hundreds of thousands.
Ning Tao couldn't match her look and said awkwardly: "That..."
That thing is gone.
Jiang Hao finally spoke, "Last night..."
Nothing happened last night.
Ning Tao had an idea and smiled, "What happened last night?"
"Last night..." Jiang Hao finally said, "I was drunk last night. Did I say anything?"
"I... I don't know, I'm drunk too..." Ning Tao coughed and asked wittily, "Did you say anything last night?"
Jiang Hao's face blushed slightly, and then he changed the topic, "I guess not, forget it, let's not mention it. I called you out because I want to tell you something, I will fly out tonight Shancheng continues to follow up on the ancestor-finding project." After a pause, she added, "Don't tell anyone what I'm going to say next. Can you promise me?"
Ning Tao nodded.
Jiang Hao leaned into Ning Tao's ear and said, "I just received the news this morning. The higher-ups are going to restart the ancestor-hunting project. The Liang Keming you have met will become the person in charge of the new ancestor-hunting project. Lin Qinghua is also very likely. Was asked to join the project team.”
Ning Tao said in surprise: "That is a dangerous research, why should it be restarted? Moreover, Lin Qinghua has closed the ancestor search project and promised not to touch it again, so why should he join?"
Jiang Hao smiled bitterly, "Nuclear bombs shouldn't exist at all, but humans still developed them and are still working hard to manufacture them. The ancestor-hunting project is almost the same thing. You and I can't stop it at all. But you, You are just the doctor who cured Lin Qinghua. This matter has nothing to do with you, so you should stop getting involved. Also, you'd better not have any contact with Lin Qinghua, otherwise you will cause unnecessary trouble. "
"Is Lin Qinghua under surveillance?" Ning Tao asked.
Jiang Hao said: "I told you to leave it alone. You came to ask about his situation just after I shut my mouth. Do you know that you are causing trouble?"
"Okay, I won't ask, and I won't care." Ning Tao said, but after saying this, he had another thought in his heart.
The murderous old man had not yet been arrested, but the mysterious motorcycle rider asked him to meet again on the night of the 15th of the lunar month. He gave Jiang Hao two balls of spiritual soil and the formula of the ancestor-seeking medicine, and then cured Xin Yaolin. Tsinghua University, he is actually deeply trapped in this whirlpool. How can he get out if he wants to
What's more, he never even considered escaping. He is a natural middleman between good and evil, the owner of Tianwai Clinic. How can he avoid such difficulties and troubles? Not only will he not hide, he will also take the initiative! A very simple truth is that if there was no dispute between good and evil in this world, would it be necessary for him, the owner of Tianwai Clinic, to exist? If the world were truly peaceful, he would be finished.
But he couldn't tell Jiang Hao such a secret.
Jiang Hao didn't know what Ning Tao was thinking. She said, "As long as you understand, I'm relieved. I'm going to the bureau to make a report, and then take a flight back to the mountain city in the evening to continue my mission. You come with me." Go back to the mountain city."
Ning Tao thought for a moment, "I can't go back yet. I have to give Zhao Wushuang a second treatment the day after tomorrow. I haven't received the medicinal materials Fan Huaying promised to buy for me yet. I will return to the mountain city after these two things are done. "
"Well, I'll wait for you in the mountain city." Jiang Hao took a look at the small medicine box in Tao's hand and said, "Where are you going now? I still have some time, so I'll see you off."
Ning Tao said: "You don't have to worry about me, just go and do your work. I want to go see the Forbidden City Museum."
"Okay then, call me if you need anything." Jiang Hao left these words and left.
Jiang Hao drove away, and Ning Tao called a Didi car to go to the Forbidden City Museum.
When he arrived at the Forbidden City Museum, Ning Tao backed away when he saw several long queues lining up in front of the ticket office. Then he saw a notice board about contraband, and suddenly remembered that the dagger Ding Ye gave him for safekeeping was also contraband. He couldn't bring it in at all, so he gave up the idea and left with the small medicine box.
Jingle bell, jingle bell…
Standing on the side of the road and preparing to call a taxi, his phone suddenly rang with an incoming call. Ning Tao took out his phone and took a look at it before answering the call.
"Brother Huaying, it's me, please tell me if you have something." Ning Tao said politely.
Fan Huaying's voice came from the phone, "Brother Ning, I'm calling to tell you that the medicinal materials are almost ready, but there are two differences. One is called Chicken Blood Bamboo, and the other is called White Slough. Taoist Master Qingshui said that he has chickens there. He has ordered his disciples to pick up the blood bamboo. It will take a day and he will hand it over to you in person. I think he wants to meet you, is that okay? "
Ning Tao said: "No problem, is there another kind of white snake slough that can be found?"
Fan Huaying's voice said, "Snake slough is snake skin, which is available in traditional Chinese medicine pharmacies. Do you have to have a white snake? I checked, it is a white snake with albinism, which is extremely rare, and what you want is a fifty-year-old snake. The average snake has a lifespan of more than ten years, and the lifespan of a snake is only thirty or forty years. This is too difficult... Do you have to have a fifty-year-old white snake? "
Ning Tao said: "Yes, is there a way?"
Fan Huaying was silent for a moment before saying: "I'm sorry for my incompetence, brother Yu. I've asked everyone I can, and I've used all the connections I can use. I can find a live white snake for you, but a fifty-year-old white snake...etc. wait!"
Ning Tao's heart moved and he said anxiously: "Have you found a way?"
"Brother Ning, you don't believe it, I just received a text message..."
"say what?"
"The man said that he has a fifty-year-old white snake slough, but he wants you to find him in person." Fan Huaying said.
"Where is he?"
"Panjiayuanzi, that is a market selling antiques. The man said that if you go, he will meet you."
"I'll go right away." Ning Tao said.
"I'll rush over right away. Let's meet at Panjiayuanzi, and then go to see that person together." Fan Huaying hung up the phone.
Ning Tao was actually very curious about why Fan Huaying suddenly received such a text message, as if the person who sent the text message knew that he urgently needed these medicinal materials, but Fan Huaying had already hung up the phone and could only ask him again when they met.
Ning Tao called a taxi and went straight to Panjiayuan's house.
There is no real Bedu person who doesn’t know about Panjiayuanzi. It existed in the late Qing Dynasty. At that time, it was called the "Ghost Market". The down-and-out nobles of the Qing court and the ruined rich were unable to make ends meet in the turbulent situation. They could only survive by selling off the property left by their ancestors. But these nobles, descendants of officials and wealthy people couldn't let go of their dignity, so they took antique items and set up stalls on the streets to sell them before dawn. They avoided acquaintances, saved face, and made deals. Over time, such a " Ghost market”. Now, this ghost market has developed into an antiques market with an annual transaction volume of billions.
This is all the information Ning Tao got from Baidu in the taxi. Before that, he didn't even know there was a place like Panjiayuan in the world, let alone its history. He couldn't understand why that person chose this place to meet, but the medicinal materials for refining the low-level prescription pills were related to his family and life, and he couldn't care so much about it.
The taxi stopped on the side of the road. Ning Tao paid the fare and got out of the taxi, then entered Panjiayuan.
Panjiayuan was crowded with people, and the streets were lined with stalls. There were so many bronze objects, ancient coins, porcelain, jade, etc. that it was dazzling. There are also sellers of walnuts, bracelets, gourds and wood carvings, too many to count.
"Young man, are you selling your wooden box?" Before Ning Tao could adapt to the noisy environment, an old man took a look at the small medicine box Ning Tao was holding.
Ning Tao glanced at the old man and said, "I won't sell it."
"Make a price. If the price is right, I'll buy it for you." The old man didn't give up.
Ning Tao didn't bother to fight with him, so he walked deeper into the area with a small medicine box, looking for the person who wanted to meet him as he walked.
Before he could take a few steps, the old man caught up with him and his voice changed, "Are you the one who's looking for the white slough?"
Ning Tao stopped and looked at the old man.
