Chapter 25 Abnormal Humans
After leaving the antique shop, Gu Qing did not go home directly, so he went to the pharmacy.
Gu Qing carefully checked the book "Wang's Materia Medica" and found no abnormalities, so he burned the book. Anyway, he had already understood and digested the contents.
He opened the door of the medicine shop and then made potions in the inner courtyard that could make the characters invisible. If someone came to buy medicine, his hearing and keenness would be enough for him to notice in advance.
Moreover, if you open a pharmacy and don’t do business, it will be suspicious. Since you are doing acting, then do the full set.
The ingredients of the potion on the envelope had been analyzed by him, and the next step was to pinch the amount, which was not difficult for him. However, Gu Qing felt that his tools were a bit simple, and he felt increasingly that he needed a secret room specifically for pharmaceutical production and research on various things.
This secret room is not suitable for a pharmacy shop, it is better to be at home.
Fortunately, the yard where he lives originally had a cellar, which could be completely renovated into a secret room. Before renovating the yard, there was no shortage of tools at home. Gu Qing could first make a mechanism to cover the cellar in the past two days. As for the ventilation, drying, and various reconstructions behind it, it can be carried out slowly.
Of course, in addition to using various means to promote his practice, he also has another worry, that is, the whereabouts of the monster.
When will it come again?
Gu Qing was worried about this matter, but he was not afraid of it. If the monster appeared again, he believed that he could solve it and at the same time he also finished his mind.
After an afternoon, there were only two patients who came to buy medicine, which was very in line with Gu Qing's expectations. The fewer patients, the better, but it cannot be left.
Gu Qing also successfully made the potion.
After checking the pharmacy, Gu Qing closed the door and left.
I didn't encounter any strange things yesterday during this period.
It seems that the monster may not come to him today.
Its injuries last night should not have recovered. If the monster did not appear tonight, Gu Qing could make a very likely judgment that the monster still has a clear mind and knows the interests of the relationship.
If it loses its mind and wants what it wants, it will come to Gu Qing again regardless of what it wants.
A sane monster will be harder to deal with than a sane monster.
But if Gu Qing could catch it, he would have the opportunity to obtain the information he wanted, such as the true origin of the Buddha statue and whether it had other functions and effects.
Gu Qing returned home and began to transform the cellar.
Fortunately, the only thing Xu Guruan in his yard is adjacent to him. Xu Guruan is sick again and will not be moved here for the time being, so no one has noticed the movements of renovating the appearance of the cellar.
The latter is an internal reconstruction, which is even less easy to detect.
For two days, Gu Qing was trapped in the work of renovating a secret room as long as he was at home.
The external transformation has been completed, leaving only the internal details, which can be regarded as a long-term thing and there is no need to rush for a moment.
During this period, the monster did not appear.
But in the evening, Gu Qing met Xu Guru.
She came alone, her face was still very pale, and she could tell she was just recovering from a serious illness. Although she usually looks weak, she now feels like she falls when the wind blows.
Xu slowly carried his pocket and contained clothes.
"Sorry, I asked you to wait for two more days." Xu Gu Qing said with some blame when he handed the clothes to Gu Qing.
Gu Qing took the clothes and looked around, confirming that there was no one.
He said, "Miss Xu, the night you were sick, I was attacked by a monster. It looked very much like a zombie."
Xu Guru's expression changed, but he didn't say anything.
Gu Qing said: "You know it."
He said without asking, but with a very firm tone.
Gu Qing stared at Xu Guru, without any intention of moving away.
Xu Guru first lowered his head, as if he couldn't bear it, so he raised his head. Her eyes were very clear, but it gave people a feeling of indescribable sadness.
"I know." Xu Guru finally responded.
She seemed to breathe a sigh of relief from this.
Xu Gu continued to show a reluctant smile and said, "I really don't know how to lie. Mr. Gu, you don't seem to be a big deal, I'm actually very happy."
Gu Qing was a little surprised to see Xu Guru's answer so calmly, but this shows that Xu Guru is either too scheming or really a girl who is neither hypocritical nor artificial.
He neither believed in the former nor the latter. Gu Qing's judgment of Xu Shuangshuang should be dynamically changed from now on.
Gu Qing said: "That night, when it ran away, I heard a strange sound of musical instruments. Did you play that?"
Xu slowly pondered for a while, as if he had made some determination, and then said, "Mr. Gu, if you want to continue to understand, your destiny will fall into an unpredictable situation."
Gu Qing said: "Everyone's destiny is unpredictable."
Xu said slowly: "No, you should understand that most people know what he will do tomorrow. Some people think this is a day after day repetition, it is boring and meaningless. Some people want to escape this repetition, while others think it is a kind of protection. Staying in a familiar situation will make people feel safe. Not everyone wants their lives to change suddenly."
Gu Qing said: "Do you like a life that is not changed?"
Xu said slowly: "I like to make clothes, listen to music, read novels, and taste delicious pastries. I would rather live such a life every day, but I can't. I heard Grandpa Fang talk about you. I envy you a little. From the day I saw you, I can feel the tranquility and indifference on you, which is what I envy."
Gu Qing said in his heart: "You are wrong, that's just numb."
His past experiences have made him develop this numbness. Even if this life is different from the past, the deep-rooted numbness will not be easily changed.
Gu Qing also tidied up the yard, hoping to use the enthusiasm of life to dilute this numbness.
He said: "Everyone has something that others envy, for example, others also envy you... how good you look."
Xu Guru blushed and she said, "Thank you."
Gu Qing didn't want to continue this topic anymore and said, "I hope to thank me with the truth."
Xu Guru sighed and said, "Since you insist on knowing this, I will tell you. You are a practitioner."
Gu Qing nodded, there is nothing to hide at this moment.
Xu slowly said, "Cousin is the same. You are all the same practitioners. And I am different from you, although I have some ability beyond your imagination."
Gu Qing said: "Then what are you?"
Xu slowly said: "Psychic, I can hear, see, feel many sounds, lights and shadows that are wandering in the void. The most important thing is that I can communicate with the consciousness of those who have passed away. We are abnormal humans."
