Chapter 1702 Resurrection from the dead?
Chapter 1702 Resurrection from the dead?
After drinking a cup of hot juice soup, Miss Shi felt a light sweat and felt extremely comfortable from the inside out.
She was surprised and happy. She hadn't felt this kind of freedom for a long time.
Ever since she was mistakenly diagnosed with a cold, she hasn't sweated since then. She's been feeling hot and cold, and it's been so uncomfortable being trapped inside.
Seeing the slight sweat on her forehead, Mr. Shi was also very surprised.
"Father, I feel much better," Miss Shi breathed a sigh of relief.
Mr. Shi was so excited that he almost knelt down: "Thank you, young lady, for saving my daughter's life."
Yan Ruyu supported him and said, "It's the duty of a doctor to save lives. You don't have to be so polite."
She glanced at Miss Shi and said, "Miss, can you tell me about your visit to the Xu family? Who did you meet? Do you still remember it?"
Miss Shi nodded and thought, "I went with my mother that day. There were already a lot of people there. My mother told us to go in and pay our respects to Old Madam Xu, then sit for a while, have the banquet and go back."
"I've participated in this kind of occasion with my mother before. It's not difficult."
"Everything went smoothly that day. During the banquet..."
Miss Shi suddenly paused, as if she had thought of something.
Yan Ruyu patiently guided him: "It's okay, just say whatever comes to your mind, no matter big or small."
Miss Shi glanced at her father and said, "Not long after the banquet started, I heard a commotion. I vaguely heard someone say that Madam Xu and a woman were arguing. The woman was Mr. Xu's cousin, and she came to the mansion to seek refuge."
She seemed a little embarrassed: "Mr. Xu's cousin..."
Shi Yuanwai reacted and took over the conversation, "I've heard about his cousin. It is said that her parents died and she had no one to rely on, so she went to the Xu family for shelter. It was fine at first, but after a while, Mrs. Xu was not very happy."
"This cousin is pretty..."
Miss Shi corrected: "It's not good, it's very beautiful."
Yan Ruyu raised her eyebrows slightly: "Have you seen Miss?"
"Yes," Miss Shi nodded, "When my mother heard the quarrel that day, she felt that this was a family affair and a family shame, and it was not appropriate to stay for long, so as not to embarrass the host family."
Yan Ruyu secretly praised that Mrs. Shi was thoughtful and considerate of others, and must be a good person.
"My mother and I left together, and halfway through, we suddenly discovered that we had lost our jade pendant. If it was just an ordinary jade pendant, it would be fine, but this is my mother's favorite Pisces pendant, so we went back to find it."
"My mother couldn't bear to see me running back and forth, so she asked me to sit in a pavilion passing by while she took the maid to look for it."
"I met a crying woman in the pavilion. After chatting for a while, I found out that she was Mr. Xu's cousin."
"She felt very aggrieved and told me her life story. It was really pitiful. She wanted to come and seek refuge with her relatives, but she didn't expect to cause conflicts in their family."
Yan Ruyu narrowed her eyes slightly: "Have you ever had any physical contact with her? Did you pass her a handkerchief or something like that?"
Miss Shi recalled: "I saw her crying so hard, so I handed her a handkerchief, but she just said thank you and didn't take it."
"As for other contacts," Miss Shi shook her head, "none."
Yan Ruyu thought to herself, if this woman really had some sinister plan, a simple girl like Miss Shi would be hard to guard against. In fact, it didn't matter whether there was physical contact or not.
Seeing Yan Ruyu remained silent, Miss Shi pursed her lips and said, "I don't think it's her."
“How come you see?”
"I have no grudge against her and have never met her. That was the only time I gave her some words of comfort. Most of the time she was the one talking and I was listening."
"And, I heard that she died not long after that day."
Yan Ruyu was slightly surprised: "Dead?"
"That's right," Mr. Shi nodded. "If you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have remembered it. My daughter had just started to get sick, and I was so busy that I overheard someone say that for some reason, Madam Xu had a big fight with that woman, saying that she was... In short, it was very unpleasant to hear. That woman was also very stubborn, and she hanged herself in a rage."
"I heard that Madam Xu often sees her ghost, and is frightened so much that she can't sleep every now and then," Mr. Shi sighed. "When I went to the clinic to get medicine, I heard the people there say that they had also been to the Xu family several times, but to little effect."
Yan Ruyu asked: "How is Madam Xu now?"
Shi Yuanwai shook his head and sighed: "It seems that he is mentally ill and has been locked up in the backyard."
The room fell silent for a moment, and Doctor Sun felt a chill on the back of his neck.
The clinic has been open for quite a few years, but I haven't seen many mysterious people doing this.
Yan Ruyu glanced at him and said, "Doctor Sun, can you lend me some paper and pen?"
Doctor Sun quickly took it, and Yan Ruyu picked up the pen and said, "Miss Shi, what does Mr. Xu's cousin look like? Do you remember?"
Miss Shi nodded: "Remember."
"Then tell me one by one. The more detailed the better."
Miss Shi spoke carefully, and Yan Ruyu painted seriously. After a short while, a charming face of a woman appeared on the paper.
When the abbot saw it, his eyes widened.
"This……"
Yan Ruyu remained calm and picked up the portrait for Miss Shi to see: "Look, how similar are they?"
When Miss Shi saw the portrait, she couldn't help but exclaim in amazement: "It's such a likeness, to say 100% is too much, but I really want to say 100%."
“It’s exactly the same.”
Yan Ruyu looked at the person in the painting with a slightly cold gaze - how interesting, the Erya teacher of Lanxing Pavilion turned out to be Xu Yuanwai's cousin who had nowhere to rely on.
The abbot was shocked: "But, according to what Miss Shi just said, she didn't hang herself..."
If you were to say diving or jumping off a cliff, where there is no trace of the body left and it is hard to find the body, then it is possible that the person had escaped death, but this hanging...
Yan Ruyu shook her head: "It is unknown for now, but there must be a reason."
The abbot felt a chill on the back of his neck: "And..."
Yan Ruyu signaled with her eyes not to scare the Shi family father and daughter.
The abbot had to swallow his words for the time being.
Yan Ruyu put the painting away and said to Shi Yuanwai, "Miss Shi is poisoned. It will take more than one day to cure. She needs to be cured slowly."
"You can stay here first. If you are willing, I will ask someone to help find a small courtyard nearby."
Shi Yuanwai bowed repeatedly and said, "I couldn't ask for more. Thank you very much."
Doctor Sun took over and said, "Don't look for another place. There is a small courtyard behind this clinic. It used to belong to a neighbor. He doesn't live there anymore and it's empty. He often asks me to help rent it out."
Now that they had a place to stay, Yan Ruyu asked the father and daughter to settle down first.
She asked Doctor Sun to prescribe a prescription for detoxification and left a few red fruits.
When he went out with the abbot, the abbot couldn't wait to whisper, "They said he hanged himself, how could he... appear again? Could he be resurrected from the dead?"
As he spoke, his face turned pale.
Yan Ruyu glanced at him and said, "Don't scare yourself. What do you mean by coming back to life?"
The abbot swallowed his saliva and said, "Of course there is none. That Taoist priest was reincarnated and he was reincarnated in someone else's body..."
Yan Ruyu laughed angrily: "Stop talking now. You are a high monk now. Any evil spirits will be scared to death in front of you."
"I think you look like you're scared to death by someone else."
The abbot touched his bald head and said, "Then..."
"It's nothing. This matter is related to Lanxing Pavilion. I am relieved."
The abbot was surprised: "What do you mean?"
"Of course, I'll start with the mine you found." Yan Ruyu looked back and said, "Have you forgotten who fought with you for the manor?"
