??
All the guesses were based on no evidence, and Zha Wenbin would not jump to conclusions with just a flying knife and an old mouse. With these questions, Zha Wenbin returned to bed and pondered for a night, during which the most disturbing thought was who he really was?
His surname is Cha, which comes from the couple who adopted him at first, and his real name, ancestral home, all are unknown. Now a sudden bell seems to pull his sight far away, in China's 5,000-year history, there are two myths, one is the Kunlun myth 5,000 years ago: Pangu, Nüwa, Fuxi, Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the Battle of Zhuolu, the vast Chinese civilization started from here in the Yellow River basin and established the rise of this Eastern mysterious country.
The second myth is somewhat mysterious, it's about the story of mortals becoming immortals. There is a place called "Shu Mountain" that cannot be verified, but ancient texts have recorded: Huang Di's son Chang Yi married a woman from Shu Mountain, and this mountain was also mentioned; in the west of Mount Emei Temple, there is Jiang Wei City, and also a woman from Shu Mountain who lived there, she was Chang Yi's wife. Based on these two texts from historical records, it can be roughly inferred that Shu Mountain refers to a certain large mountain in the upper reaches of Minjiang River, within Sichuan Province, which was anciently known as Ba-Shu. This place has also produced a series of legends about mortals becoming immortals over 3,000 years ago, such as the famous Heavenly Master Zhang Daoling, and the mysterious but real existence of Sanxingdui.
For Cha Wenbin, this section of Shu Mountain seems to be more touching. With the establishment of Taoism, the myth of Shu Mountain has been widely spread among the people, which makes the rise and fall of this native Chinese religion consistent with its fate. Suddenly, an idea popped up in his mind: Could he be a Shu person?
The next morning, Lao Xia rushed over in a hurry, bringing two pieces of news: one was that Xiao Bai had been taken away by Mr. Yuan, and the second piece of news was that they had found a way to temporarily halt Xiao Bai's reverse growth.
"Time is running out, I'm afraid of being late, his dad wants me to come and inform you to go together. It's said that Professor Gu has brought some Americans." Old Xia slowed down and continued to say to Cha Wenbin: "And my own business, I know I've forgotten all the memories from before, don't know if it's good or bad. This time Mr. Yuan brought a team who wants to see each of us patients with abnormal conditions, I'm guessing is this an opportunity."
Lao Xia has indeed had a tough time these past two years. Not to mention that he's forgotten all about his past, but even his entire personality has changed greatly. Back when he was still called Xiao Yi, Lao Xia was someone who was always getting into trouble and coming up with all sorts of sly ideas, and together with his fat friend, they were like two peas in a pod. Now, apart from that one photo, Lao Xia often wakes up in the middle of the night, haunted by dreams of himself being in a cellar, watching as another version of himself stabs his own body with a long dagger, while two blurry figures stand beside him.
Cha Wenbin still went, before leaving he went to see Consort Ping, that kind-hearted woman.
"If everything goes well, I'll come back and marry you." This was the promise he made to her. The woman leaned against the window, watching the man's figure fade into the distance, two lines of clear tears falling unintentionally...
Gu Qinghe is a formidable figure, and the American big beard he brought with him is named Andrew. After giving Yuan Xiaobai a thorough examination, he also furrowed his brow, but appeared exceptionally excited, probably thinking this was an extremely challenging task. Through Gu Qinghe's translation, the big beard was shocked by Zhang Wenbin's method of using leeches for blood transfusion, and exclaimed: "Don't Chinese people know that they need to match blood types first? My God, it's a miracle that this girl is still alive!"
However, Big Whiskers was still very interested in the story of Zhang Wenbin and his men. He listened with relish to Gu Qing's translation, shouting "God" and "Mary" at the exciting parts. This old fellow wasn't an atheist; he believed that there were gods in this world, as well as punishment. At the same time, however, he was also a truly exceptional doctor.
A drug that would put the little white into a deep sleep was slowly pushed through her veins, one that could slow down her physiological functions to their lowest state: hibernation. Andrew had come up with this method from the characteristics of animal hibernation, saying that cold-blooded animals like snakes hibernate because they don't need to consume too much heat, but hibernation in mammals was the biggest problem.
Andrew focused on hibernation in mammals and applying the results to humans, this genius found that when dogs hibernate, the body temperature of small mammals drops rapidly, but the bear's body temperature only drops by about four degrees, although the heart rate slows down by 75%, all physical function indicators begin to be in a dormant state. Once the bear starts hibernating, its energy source shifts from food to fat stored in the body, and the chemical reaction changes dramatically.
However, when fat is burned, metabolism produces toxins, but during hibernation, the cells of bears break down these toxins into harmless substances and re-circulate them. Unfortunately, humans do not have this mechanism, if the toxins in our body accumulate for more than a week without being eliminated, we will die. So I extracted from the dog bear's cells the substance that contains this toxin-decomposing mechanism, which can help Miss Yuan get through the hibernation period, of course, this time cannot be too long.
"How long is that?" asked Zhang Wenbin.
Andrew pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and said, "Three months, beyond that time I'm afraid her organs will fail, sorry Mr. Cha, Miss Yuan's illness is currently beyond my ability to help, can only use hibernation to help her delay."
Three months, and Zha Wenbin had finally let out a sigh of relief. At least he still had three months to think of a solution. The sleeping Yuan Xiaobai was covered in all sorts of instruments, and after taking one last look at her, Zha Wenbin retreated from the crowd once again, bidding farewell. He knew that unraveling the mystery surrounding her would be far more difficult than his own troubles, just like how he had been saved by Princess Ping during his coma. If it meant sacrificing others to achieve his goals, Zha Wenbin would refuse, and he believed Xiaobai would make the same choice.
Outside the door, Cha Wenbin said with his head down: "Old Xia, I'm going to find them now."
"Who?"
"The other person in the photo is Ye Qiu."
"They aren't?" Old Xia, now renamed Xia Qiushi, naturally knew the origin of his name. He paused and continued, "I've been having dreams about them lately too. If possible, take me with you."
"No, this time let me go alone."
It's been a long time since the incident, there was once a little partner named Shi Gandang, and another one who came to join halfway called Ye Qiu. They disappeared one after another in the same place, some people said that place was an ancient king's mausoleum, others said it was a relic of a distant past, only Cha Wenbin knew it was called Bagua Tower.
No one knew how Cha Wenbin walked out of Bagua Tower at that time, and no one knew how he took Lao Xia away. The river surface in front of Zhuangyuan Village could no longer see the towering mines of the past, and this village fell into decline like a demon, rapidly declining in the following year.
It's been a long time since I've seen a stranger here. A little boy, barefoot and with his buttocks exposed, holding a beautifully packaged snack, flew towards home like an arrow. Two years ago, this was still the richest village in southern Anhui Province. But two years later, except for the blue sky, even half of the trees in the village have died. When people mention this ancient village that has been thriving since the Song Dynasty, they used to say that it's a place where top scholars are born, and where the god of literature descends upon. The people here, like the objects here, all have a rich cultural heritage, but that was in the past.
Two years ago, when people mentioned Shuangyuan Village, girls from outside would squeeze in to get married here. The first program-controlled telephone, the first tap water, and the first small car were all here. People used to spend money like dirt, holding a thick wad of cash to enter the highest-end restaurants in southern Anhui Province. Some people say that coal mines were discovered here.
Two years later, the young people in Zhuangyuan Village had all left. Some went south to Shenzhen and Guangzhou, while others followed their brothers and sisters to Nanjing and Shanghai. The only place they were unwilling to go was Zhejiang, which was just a mountain away. In Zhuangyuan Village, there is a saying: if it weren't for those outsiders who destroyed the feng shui layout left by their ancestors, Zhuangyuan Village would still be prosperous for hundreds of years. But now? A desolate silence.
Two years ago, countless eyes witnessed the sinking of that small island. It was also from then on that a plague began to erupt in this village: people's skin started itching unbearably, and with just one scratch, it would fester, with foul-smelling pus and murky blood constantly devouring their bodies. Some even pulled out live worms from inside their thighs. The sudden onset of the disease spread rapidly, ravaging the village of over a hundred households. After various medicines and methods were declared useless, a shocking announcement was made: to prevent the spread of this unknown disease, the people of Shuangyuan Village would be isolated until a treatment for this seemingly highly contagious disease was found.
Some healthy people have started to leave, some sick people are still struggling to survive, and the village of Zhuangyuan has been abandoned. It's been two years since outsiders last came here, just like the leper village back then, Zhuangyuan Village is now a forbidden land!
