"Oh, I see." Qi Lu nodded. "Are you going to get up now?" Qi Lu looked at her worriedly, afraid that she had not recovered yet.
"It's fine. You can go out first. I want to change my clothes.”Ye Meng pushed him out and closed the door.
She turned around and took out a thin green dress from her bag to change into. Her hair was still tied up with a colorful headband.
After washing her face, she finally opened the door. Qi Lu, who had been guarding the door, saw that her face had regained some color. Her black hair stood up high, and she indeed looked much more energetic.
The two of them closed the door and went downstairs.
"Sir." When the waiter saw the two of them coming down, he quickly pointed at a figure in the distance, indicating that it was their "friend" who had come to look for them.
" Isn't that..." Qi Lu was surprised to see that figure. Why was he here?
Ye Meng also noticed that the person who had his back to them was sitting at the table and drinking one glass after another.
He was still wearing a light blue robe. His long black hair draped over his back. He sat upright, exuding a gentle and refined aura that others could not ignore.
Ye Meng felt that even though it was just his back view, it was already attractive enough to attract people's attention. His entire person seemed to be emitting a gentle glow.
The people who were eating at the side also glanced at him from time to time. The man sitting didn't seem to care at all. Suddenly, he seemed to have sensed something. He turned around and glanced at the crowd. His blue eyes finally fell on Ye Meng, who was standing still in the crowd.
"Miss Ye, Brother Qi." He Tang stood up when he saw the two of them and nodded slightly in their direction.
Seeing that the other party had already seen them, Ye Meng and Qi Lu did not stop and walked towards He Tang.
"How did Doctor He know we were here?”Ye Meng asked as soon as she sat down and flipped over the teacup.
"This. It must be fate." He Tang smiled. His gentle eyes curved into a smile, making him look even more refined. "Actually, when I came out to look for some medicinal herbs, I happened to see Brother Qi on the street.”
He Tang explained. Actually, he had only seen Qi Lu's back and was not very sure if it was them. At that time, he did not pay too much attention to it. However, when he passed by the roadside, he heard someone say that someone had caught a person who was pretending to be a ghost and sent him to the East County government office.
Only then did he pay attention to it. Then, he thought about the back view he saw just now and suspected that it should be Qi Lu himself. He thought that there was probably only one inn nearby, so he came to try his luck. However, he did not expect it to really be them.
"Then why are you here?" Qi Lu asked the waiter after ordering a few dishes. He looked at the smile on He Tang's face and felt that this person was simply too persistent.
She had thought that he would not see him for the time being since he had gone out to make a house call and then she had gone out to investigate the case with Ye Meng. She did not expect to meet him here.
"That's why it's a coincidence." He Tang smiled and said," The place where I visit is in Dong County, which is nearby.”
"What?" The peanut in Qi Lu's mouth fell off and rolled on the edge of the table. "You mean here?" After seeing the other party nod, Qi Lu felt a little broken down. No way. This meant that they would have to spend time together again.
"Oh right, I'm almost done with my matters here.”He Tang said kindly," I think you must have come here for something. It would be my honor if I could help you."”
"Thank you so much." Qi Lu sighed awkwardly.
Qi Lu, eat your food." Ye Meng didn't know what he was thinking. She slapped him on the back, signaling him to stop being so weird.
Hearing her words, Qi Lu shut his mouth. Ye Meng glared at him while He Tang chuckled.
"Right, Doctor He." Ye Meng suddenly asked as they were eating. "Have you heard any strange rumors while you were here?”
"Rumors?" He Tang raised his head and put the chopsticks in his hand aside. He lowered his head and thought for a while before asking," Is Miss Ye talking about the ghost?"”
"More or less." Ye Meng nodded. "I think this haunted thing is very strange.”
"I feel the same." He Tang nodded and asked again,"Miss Ye, do you believe in ghosts in this world?"”
"I don't believe you." Ye Meng shook her head. Although it was already a miracle that she could travel from that world to this world, she would still choose to shake her head and deny it if she was asked if there were ghosts in this world.
"I don't believe it either." He Tang picked up his chopsticks again and put some vegetables into his mouth. "So I think this is man-made.”
"How did Doctor He know?”Ye Meng looked at him. If it was because she smelled the chicken blood on the face of the person who pretended to be a ghost and then confirmed that the other party was human after physical contact, how would He Tang know? Although he was a doctor, his sensitivity to human blood was definitely not lower than hers.
However, he believed that He Tang had not come into direct contact with those people. He Tang was not Qi Lu, but a doctor who did not know martial arts. If he really met her, he would not be able to sit in front of her and eat properly.
"Haha, Miss Ye, I actually met them before.”He Tang seemed to have read her mind from her expression and shook his head to deny her guess.
"You met them?" Ye Meng was a little surprised. However, he didn't seem to have been injured at all. Could it be that He Tang was actually hiding something?
"Miss Ye, what is your injury?" When Ye Meng asked him, she raised her head slightly, revealing the wound hidden in her neck. He Tang turned his head and saw it.
"Oh, this." Ye Meng pulled up her collar and explained," It was the person who sent Qi Lu to the government office today."”
"That girl's body is still tight, do you want me to take a look for you?”As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and wanted to take her pulse.
"No need." Ye Meng withdrew her hand and refused. "I'm fine now. But I am curious how Doctor He is safe and sound.”
After all, when she faced that person yesterday, she could clearly feel that his every move was ruthless. When he strangled her neck, he used a lot of strength. The viciousness in his eyes was as if he wanted to kill her immediately.
"I relied on this." He Tang took out a packet of medicinal powder from his sleeve and placed it on the table. "Although I'm not as strong as Brother Qi and not as smart as Miss Ye, I'm not as good as you. However, he had also learned some life-saving things.”
"What is this?" Qi Lu, who had been eating, finally had something he was interested in. He quickly picked up the bag of medicine and was about to open it.
"Sigh, Brother Qi, you can't!" He Tang, who reacted, quickly tried to stop him. However, it was already too late. Qi Lu shook his head and could not sit still as if he had drunk too much.
"Why are you so dizzy?" Qi Lu felt as if the world was spinning around him. Ye Meng and He Tang seemed to have turned into four in an instant. He had just finished his sentence when they fell onto the table with a loud bang.
"Hey, Qi Lu!" Ye Meng quickly pushed his shoulder but found that he was not moving at all. He was completely unconscious. " Doctor He, this is..." Ye Meng looked at He Tang. Was this the legendary sleeping drug? She suddenly recalled some scenes from the television she used to watch.
"This is called anesthetic powder." He Tang explained," This was originally used by me to prevent the patient from being affected by pain during treatment. That's why I made it.”However, the one he had just taken out had a higher purity because it was originally used for self-protection.
This anesthetic powder had the effect of making people fall asleep without feeling pain, and the high-purity anesthetic powder he had mixed for self-protection could make people faint instantly with just a slight inhale.
No matter how good a person's martial arts were, they would fall to the ground with a bang just like Qi Lu.
Of course, this was only a successful concoction by He Tang in his early years. He was the only person in the world who knew how to concoct this anesthetic powder.
Most of the drugs circulating on the streets were similar to sleeping pills, and their effects were not as strong as his.
"Then how long will he sleep for?" Ye Meng felt that she must have been speechless. She did not expect Qi Lu to sleep like a pig.
"Four hours." He Tang smiled a little embarrassedly." It's mainly because Brother Qi inhaled a little too much just now.”
Hearing his words, Ye Meng held her forehead helplessly.
"Oh, right." He Tang took out a few packets of the same powder from his pocket. He placed it in front of Ye Meng.
"This is…"
"Since Miss Ye is here to investigate, I feel that we will definitely meet their people in the future.”He Tang explained," I think if Miss Ye is left alone next time, this should be able to help you.”
"Thank you." Hearing his words, Ye Meng put away the medicine bag on the table and thanked him.
After that, He Tang told her about the usage of this medicine and the things to pay attention to.
"Oh, right." After giving instructions, He Tang suddenly seemed to have thought of something. He looked around and whispered," Two days ago, an imperial envoy went missing in East County. I wonder if Miss Ye knows about it now?"”
"To be honest, Qi Lu and I came to East County for this matter.”When Ye Meng heard him mention this, she didn't ask further even though she was a little curious as to how he knew.
"It is indeed as I guessed.”He Tang nodded and continued," This is very strange. The people here don't seem to know about this."”
"You don't know?" Ye Meng was a little surprised. She had planned to ask a waiter about that matter, but no one here knew about it? No wonder the waiter didn't mention this at all when he talked about it yesterday.
"Yes." He Tang nodded. He didn't know why either. It seemed that the local government had concealed this matter and only sent someone to inform the magistrate of Ningzhou.
Was it to avoid creating panic?
"Then is it possible that everyone here actually knows? You just avoided talking about it?" Ye Meng guessed. Judging from the strange habits of the people here, she felt that this possibility was completely possible.
" I don't know about that, but…" He Tang thought for a while and continued," There is one thing that the people here do not talk about.”
"What is it?" Ye Meng asked.
He Tang glanced at her and whispered,"Ghost house."”
