At nine o'clock in the morning the next day, Qi Lu got up lazily from the bed and saw Ding Xiaolan busy in the living room.
He had just opened his mouth to ask her what breakfast she had prepared when he heard a knock at the door.
"Mr.
Ye, Mr.
Pei, it turned out to be you."
Hearing Ding Xiaolan's greeting, Qi Lu knew that it was Ye Mingfeng and Pei Liping who came to visit.
What are they doing this morning, not to mention that Pei Liping should be in the hospital with his wife at this time Qi Lu was afraid that they were here to tell him bad news, so he quickly got dressed, simply combed his hair and walked out of the bedroom.
As soon as they met, before they had time to greet each other, Pei Liping took out a thick pile of money from his purse and gave it to Qi Lu.
"Mr.
Qi, this is the medical expenses you helped me pay yesterday, thank you very much for sending my wife to the hospital in time."
"Oh, how is your wife's health" Qi Lu didn't give in politely, so he asked Ding Xiaolan to accept the money.
"Still in the hospital for observation."
Pei Li asked with a smile: "I heard that Mr.
Qi and Master Ye are peers."
"Oh, sort of."
Qi Lu replied in a tone that didn't care too much.
Ye Mingfeng said on the side: "Lao Pei also likes to study Taoism, and he hopes that Mr.
Qi will have time to guide him." ” Only then did Qi Lu understand that it was Ye Mingfeng who revealed his identity to Pei Liping, so he no longer concealed it, "Cultivation pays attention to spirituality, and it cannot be forced.
The purpose of my visit this time is to investigate the supernatural events that happened before Ye Daochang's death, and I don't know what Mr.
Pei has to say about this matter."
Pei Liping replied categorically: "Don't listen to those rumors in the market, how could a master like Master Ye be killed by a powerful ghost" "I don't believe it either, but Xiao Ye said that he often has nightmares, which is consistent with the symptoms of being haunted by ghosts."
Qi Lu's gaze met Ye Mingfeng's eyes unnaturally, and he immediately turned his gaze elsewhere.
"Who doesn't have nightmares, my wife often has nightmares these days" Pei Liping suddenly seemed to realize something and stopped talking.
"I'm sorry I didn't have time to visit her yesterday.
If Mr.
Pei is not busy, why don't you take me to the hospital to visit" Qi Lu saw that he had nothing important to do when he came to the house, so he took the initiative to make his request to Pei Liping.
"Okay, I'll go to the hospital with her later."
Pei Liping drove Qi Lu and Ding Xiaolan to the hospital.
The hospital is located in the middle of nowhere, and the ward building has a cream-colored façade that at first glance looks like an apartment building.
"Ms.
Su, are you better" Qi Lu asked her with a smile, while Ding Xiaolan put the flowers and gifts she had just bought on the bedside table.
"It's much better, but my head is often dizzy."
Su Ling had a bandage wrapped around her head, her cheeks were supported with her hands, and she said slowly with an empty look in her eyes, "Thank you for sending me to the hospital yesterday." ” "Ah, it's a small thing, and someone else would do the same."
Pei Liping stepped forward to introduce Qi Lu and the two to his wife, and then sat on the chair next to the bed and chatted quietly, a simple-looking woman in her forties gently helped Su Ling up and put a pillow on her back, so that she could lean on it more comfortably.
This woman and Su Ling have no imagination in appearance, it seems that they are the nurses hired by Pei Liping for his wife.
Qi Lu pondered without words, and listened to Pei Liping and his wife chatting quietly.
"My throat is still very astringent, did you bring the medicine?"
asked Su Ling.
"Don't drink it in the hospital, it's not good to take medicine indiscriminately."
Seeing his wife's unhappy look, Pei Liping took out a plastic bottle from his bag and handed it to her.
At this time, Pei Liping's mobile phone rang, and he apologized to his wife and went out to answer the phone.
When Su Ling unscrewed the cap of the bottle and drank the potion, Qi Lu saw coldly that it was a bottle of compound codeine syrup, so he said to her, "Why does Ms.
Su still drink the medicine brought by the family?"
"The cold has not been good these days, and the general medicine has no effect on me, but this medicine works quickly."
"Oh" Qi Lu wanted to ask something when he saw Pei Liping coming back, so he stopped talking.

"Wife, my subordinates have bought the wrong goods, I want to rush back to take a look."
Pei Liping said to Su Ling slightly apologetically.
"Go ahead, I'm not seriously ill, and besides, didn't you ask someone to take care of me?"
After Pei Liping left, Qi Lu said tactfully: "Actually, the daily infusion in the hospital can cure your cold, so why drink this syrup again."
Besides, the doctor doesn't approve of you drinking the medicine at home. ” "Hehe, thank you Mr.
Qi for your concern."
"Why did you fall in the stairwell yesterday, did someone push you down?"
"It's because I accidentally fell down by myself" Su Ling paused for a moment, as if she wanted to say something and stopped.
Qi Lu smiled and said, "If there is anything, you might as well say it clearly, maybe I can help." ” "Alas, I was really rude yesterday, please don't be surprised Mr.
Qi.
To tell you the truth, I don't know what's going on lately, I'm always hallucinating, and I dream of ghosts at night. ” No wonder she behaved strangely when she fell yesterday, it turned out that she was hallucinating.
Qi Lu calmed down in his heart, and replied with a smile: "The illusion is born from the heart, the ghosts you see are just the psychological projections of some shadows, as long as these distracting thoughts are broken, Ms.
Su will naturally have nothing to do with ghosts." ” "I also hope that it will be as Mr. said, but those dreams are too terrible" As she spoke, Su Ling's eyes lost their luster again.
"Don't worry about those dreams, they will leave you sooner or later."
Qi Lu paused for a moment and said: "I've heard of ghost pressing, some people wake up in the middle of the night and can see the images around them, but their bodies can't move, and they can't speak, as if they were suppressed by some unknown object, so they are afraid that they are harassed by ghosts."
In fact, this is medically called sleep paralysis, because there is a slight error in the body function during sleep, and the consciousness is awake, but the muscles of the limbs are still in a state of low tension, resulting in a situation that does not listen to the command of the conscious. ” "You're saying I have sleep paralysis," Su Ling suddenly became nervous.
"Not really."
Qi Lu laughed embarrassedly, "I'm just making an analogy, hoping that you can relax your mind." ” Hearing that there was a ghost pestering Su Ling, Ding Xiaolan had already been interested, but she never thought that Qi Lu didn't care about it, she looked at Qi Lu strangely, not knowing that he had made the wrong tendon.
In the end, Ding Xiaolan saw that Qi Lu didn't mean to ask any more at all, so she stepped forward and said gently: "Don't think about those annoying dreams anymore, I often have nightmares, and some dreams can't be explained, which scares people to death."
However, some people have good dreams, and a few days ago there was a news report that someone bought a Mark Six lottery and wrote the numbers they dreamed of on the lottery ticket, and the result was actually winning. ” On the surface, Ding Xiaolan was comforting Su Ling, but in fact, she deliberately tricked her words.
Sure enough, when Su Ling heard Ding Xiaolan say this, her mood that had just been soothed by Qi Lu changed again, and she muttered: "Alas, I don't know how to say it, these nightmares are all the same dream, and I panicked in my heart, for fear that it would be a bad sign." ” Ding Xiaolan was secretly happy in her heart, and hurriedly asked her: "Is it convenient to talk to me, maybe I can interpret your dreams for you." ” "I always dream that I was walking alone on a wooden bridge with no one around.
Suddenly the bridge shook, and a man appeared behind me like a ghost, and he pushed me into the river desperately, trying to kill me."
Su Ling couldn't say any more, Ding Xiaolan saw that her hands were already trembling slightly, and she couldn't ask any more, so she could only touch her trembling shoulders and wait for her to calm down.
After a moment of silence, Su Ling continued: "I grabbed the railing and tried to prevent him from succeeding in his plot, but a human face suddenly appeared in the river, and he let out a terrible laugh, and then he pulled me down the river with the people on the bridge."
"What happened next," Ding Xiaolan asked her softly.
"I don't know, every time I dream of this, I see a monster appear on the horizon in the distance, and then I wake up as soon as it's dark."
"Sister Ling, this dream often has to be reversed to know its true meaning.
If you see someone trying to harm you in your dream, it may actually be that someone is secretly helping you. ” "Oh, that's right."
Su Ling was relieved when she heard Ding Xiaolan say this, but she asked with some hesitation: "But it's not a way for me to keep having nightmares like this." ” Ding Xiaolan was speechless for a while, in fact, she could interpret dreams there, but she was talking nonsense, wanting to know what supernatural events happened to Su Ling.
Qi Lu had already sensed Ding Xiaolan's embarrassment, and he whispered to Su Ling: "Who would have repeated dreams in their lives, Ms.
Su has been too tired recently, I think you will naturally not have such dreams again after you are discharged from the hospital." ” "I hope so."
Su Ling seemed to believe it or not.
Qi Lu saw that Su Ling was still very weak, so he politely said goodbye to her and made an appointment to come to see her next time.
Walking out of the hospital, Qi Lu and Ding Xiaolan went down the slope to the station and waited for the bus to go home.
It is a slender and winding road, and the dead leaves are scattered on both sides of the road, giving it a cold and gloomy feeling.
A cold wind blew, Ding Xiaogang couldn't help but shrink his neck, feeling that his body was about to freeze.
Suddenly, a piece of clothing was draped over his shoulders, and when he looked back, it turned out that Qi Lu had put his coat on him.
Ding Xiaolan's heart was hot, and she was about to say thank you, but she heard Qi Lu smile and say to her: "What, my dream expert, I almost showed my stuff just now."
"Hmph" Ding Xiaolan just wanted to get angry and suddenly realized that Qi Lu had something to say, so she raised her head and asked him: "Aren't you interested in Su Ling's dream, maybe he has some kind of supernatural connection with Master Ye's death." ” Qi Lu smiled and asked her: "Everyone has nightmares, is it all caused by demons?"
"But do you think it's normal for Su Ling to always have the same dream repeatedly," Ding Xiaolan asked rhetorically.
"I didn't say it was normal."
Qi Lu lit a cigarette and said, "But I don't think it's a supernatural phenomenon. ” "Why do you have this thought" Ding Xiaolan knew that Qi Lu often joked, but he was never ambiguous when he got down to business.
"If I hadn't seen the bottle of medicine that Su Ling drank that her husband brought her, I might have the same idea as you."
"The potion is poisonous, are you saying that Mr.
Pei wants to harm his wife" Ding Xiaolan couldn't help but shudder, she couldn't believe Qi Lu's words.

"Not necessarily."
At the critical moment, Qi Lu replied slowly, and then smoked and stopped talking.
"Tell me, what the hell is going on?"
"Now the country is cracking down on drug abuse very strictly, don't you like to watch lace news, and the drug addiction singers and movie stars who were reported by the Chaoyang masses this year are lined up."
"Don't talk to me about these digressions, I just want to know why you are interested in the potion that Su Ling drinks."
"Of course it does."
Qi Lu stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, and then said: "Do you know, some cough drops contain hallucinogenic ingredients, and long-term use can also be as addictive as drugs, making people hallucinate, and if they are overdosed, they can even lead to death.
But these cough drops are not drugs banned by the state, on the contrary, they are still good medicines, and many young people take advantage of this loophole and gather people to drink this potion in disco bars and song halls to find stimulation. ” Ding Xiaolan exclaimed: "Are you saying that the bottle of potion that Su Ling drank caused her to hallucinate, which then affected her body functions, and finally caused her to have nightmares every night."
"Beauty, you've finally opened your mind.
Ms.
Su drank compound codeine syrup, which contains codeine and ephedrine, which can achieve analgesic and cough effects when taken normally, and if you take a large amount, it will have great side effects, which can stimulate the central nervous system to hallucinate. ” Looking at Ding Xiaolan's surprised eyes, Qi Lu smiled again and asked her, "Do you still insist on your original opinion, saying that Ms.
Su's nightmare is the result of a demon?"
"I really didn't expect this" The worry gradually spread in Ding Xiaolan's heart, and she asked Qi Lu loudly: "Since you already know the truth of the matter, why didn't you directly explain it to Su Ling in the ward, or tell Pei Liping not to let his wife drink this potion again." ” Qi Lu said coldly: "I know them very well and remind them, I'm afraid I will offend others." ” "Then you can't watch people drink indiscriminately, what if someone dies?"
"Don't worry, I'll find an opportunity to remind Ms.
Su."
Qi Lu paused for a moment and said, "I'm just wondering, Ms.
Su is a person with good cultivation, why would she drink this kind of medicine and become addicted?"
Ding Xiaolan was about to interject, but she heard Qi Lu say, "Forget it, let's get down to business first, and go to Xiao Ye to ask about those people his father has been in contact with recently." i0 t1706231537:
