Record of Strange News in Northeast - C174
Qin Shutong didn’t seem to understand his own situation very well, when he saw his parents’ surprised gazes, he felt very strange. Just as he was about to go out and finish eating, he was pulled back by the two elders to check on him, and after confirming that he was truly fully recovered, they hugged him and cried out.
However, anomalies happened again and again. The gentle Qin Shutong was called a parent a few days after she went to school because of a fight, but there weren’t any serious consequences. After educating Qin Shutong for a few days, she was invited again, and this time, the matter was serious. He actually tricked a classmate from the next class into the water room and strangled her with a towel.
The school attached great importance to this matter, and Qin Shutong’s parents took him back, hoping that he would stay home for a while to calm down. Qin Shutong’s parents only thought that it was on the spur of the moment, and never believed that a child who had been raised would deliberately kill others.
His parents had told him about the matter of transferring schools. The originally quiet Qin Shutong, upon hearing these words, suddenly became very resistant, said that he did not want to transfer schools, and then did not say anything else, causing Qin Shutong’s father to become angry, saying that the school no longer accepted him. There was no other way but to transfer schools, and after a moment of silence, Qin Shutong put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands, and turned around to enter his own room. He thought that would accept this fact, just like that.
The next day, when his mother went out to buy groceries, she was shocked when she returned. Qin Shutong was pressing his father to the ground, madly beating him, the old couple had to put their lives on the line to control Qin Shutong. Since that day, they didn’t dare to let Qin Shutong out, and kept him in a big iron cage.
‘s father, for the sake of this nephew who was not related by blood, had his heart broken and was stopped every time he wanted to take him to the hospital to see a doctor. Qin Shutong’s father, Qin Fen, was a person who did not have much brains.
Just yesterday, Qin Xuemei’s father received a call from his brother saying that Qin Shutong’s situation was getting worse and worse, and her attacks were getting stronger and stronger. Furthermore, she couldn’t even speak, and could only make a few simple sounds.
Hearing Qin Xuemei say this, I knew in my heart that this is not a simple mental illness but more like an evil ghost’s body, if not, it would be impossible for her personality to change so suddenly. I made up my mind, I would tell Qin Xuemei that I want to go see her brother. “You’re not a doctor, what can you look at?” I said, “If you can’t trust me, you can’t trust my master. My master is a famous Half Immortal. After following me for so long, treating a minor hysteria isn’t too much of a problem.”
Qin Xuemei looked at me suspiciously and said, “I know about hysteria, but do you really think it’s that kind of sickness?” I said, “You’ll know if you take me to take a look.”
On the weekends, Qin Xuemei and her uncle went to her uncle’s house. It could be seen that her uncle’s house wasn’t rich, but the poorer the family, the more likely they would run into evil things, because they knew that they had to pick the weak persimmon.
“Second Uncle, it’s me.” Qin Xuemei called out to him for a long time, only then did a person come out. He was not tall, yet he still walked slowly like a little old man, and he did not have much of a reaction when Qin Xuemei greeted him warmly, he observed the two of us for a while before opening the door and letting us in. From time to time, he gave me a doubtful look, which made me feel like I was on guard against thieves.
“Second Uncle, this is my classmate, he is …” I’m a doctor, a psychiatrist. ” Qin Xuemei looked at me incomprehensibly. From the looks of her uncle, if I told him that I knew how to scheme against the little half-immortal, he would probably think that I was a liar that kicked me out. He would have to lie and say that I was a doctor so that he could at least believe me.
Oh, hello hello. My name is Qin Fen. This is my niece.” At this time, his wife came in and saw us here. She looked at Qin Feng with a puzzled expression and said, “This is a classmate of Xuemei’s, and he is a doctor. He specifically came to see our child.” After the introductions, his wife chuckled twice and sat down as a form of greeting. The four of us sat together, staring at each other. No one said a word, the scene was extremely awkward.
After laughing for a while, Qin Fen then said: “About that, my wife, go pour some water.” Qin Fen even scolded her for a few words, then turned his head and continued to smile at me. I’m not laughing here, not laughing, not even knowing where to put my hands and feet.
After a while, Aunt Qin came in with two big teacups, inside it was a cup of tea that was so thick it was black, she placed it on the table with a cup in her hand. Qin Fen very naturally picked up the cup on the table and took a sip, then the two of them started to smile at Qin Xuemei and me.
“Second Uncle, where’s Shu Tong?” Qin Xuemei broke the awkward atmosphere, placing the cup on the table with a “clang” sound, he said: “Right, let’s see a doctor.” Lifting our legs to leave, we hurried to keep up.
In the backyard, he took out the key and opened the door to a small, broken house at the very end. It was pitch black inside, and with a “pa” sound, he turned on the light, and under the dim light, he saw a young man, curled up in a big iron cage, with clothes all over his body. When we entered, there was quite a bit of noise, but he didn’t seem to hear us at all.
“Wake up, the doctor your sister found for you is here. Wake up.” Qin Fen shouted twice without any reaction, his mouth muttering to himself as he turned around and walked out. When he came in, he had a stick in his hand, and I thought to myself, what is he doing, he slowly walked to the side of the cage and fiercely stabbed the stick onto Qin Shutong’s body. The person in the cage roared and jumped up, knocking his head against the top of the cage and causing the cage to sway unsteadily.
It was such a thick stick that could even break a good person. I hastily went up to stop him and said, “Uncle Qin, don’t be like this, aren’t we going to treat him? If you poke him again, he is your son.” Qin Fen took away his stick, he stared at the people in the cage and said: “He’s not my son, how can he have a son who would hit my father? I don’t know where this bastard came from, if I knew, I would have taken it back for him, but if I saw him displeased, I would have given him some rat medicine and he would have died.”
The man in the cage woke up from the shock and stared at us with bloodshot eyes that seemed to be relaxed for a second, as if they were about to pounce on us at any moment, not like a human gaze, but more like the eyes of some predator, making me feel uncomfortable all over.
Qin Xuemei walked over and lightly called his name. He looked at Qin Xuemei with a face full of vigilance, not daring to come close, as if he was afraid that Qin Xuemei would hurt him. His eyes were filled with fear, and he kept on retreating.
We helped him into the room and looked at the people in the cage, I couldn’t tell that he had too much Yin Qi on him, there was a bit of Yin Qi on him, and as his movements slowly decreased, he opened his Sky Eye and found that not only was he not surrounded by Yin Qi, instead the Yang Qi was even more vigorous than normal people.
After bidding farewell to the Qin Fen couple, Qin Xuemei and I remained silent on the way back, both of us thinking about our own matters. After a long while, she asked me: “Sun Hao, did you notice anything? I said, “I don’t see anything. Maybe it’s not hysteria. It’s psychosis.” “Impossible, my little brother was very obedient when he was young. He hasn’t been around since he was young, how could he suddenly get over it?”
That night at dinner, as I watched Fool Girl fooling around with the child in my embrace, I thought in my heart about Qin Shutong. Could he really be insane?
“Stop messing around, hurry up and eat. Hao Zi, eat more pig’s liver and make up your eyes.” Senior sister’s words brought me back from my thoughts. Just as I was about to use my chopsticks and look at the pig liver on the plate, my heart suddenly moves. Pig liver, eye nourishment, eyes … Oh yeah, I saw a familiar feeling in Qin Shutong’s eyes today. What was that?
The focus, wildness, and unrelenting feeling of staring at you closely came from his eyes. I racked my brains to recall it, then suddenly remembered, the fierce species, the fierce species I saw in the Spiritual Vein, the monsters whose bodies were covered in fur, the monsters who were nourished by the Spiritual Vein over the years, the monsters who could shed their black fur and become adults, their eyes and Qin Shutong’s eyes were so similar, could it be … Qin Shutong was a seed that had lost its feathers?
Thinking about this, I excitedly threw the bowl away, and ‘bang’ scared Fool Girl to the point that he couldn’t laugh anymore. The child in my embrace looked at me with a face full of anger, and Senior Sister asked suspiciously: “What’s wrong, Hao Zi?”
She didn’t seem to believe me at all, and it’s no wonder that she kept living a peaceful life. Who knows how many things there are in this world that she doesn’t understand, and hasn’t seen before. I made her believe me and hope that she could arrange for me to see her brother again.
Qin Shutong and Qin Xuemei are not related by blood, so there’s no need to worry about Qin Fen and his wife being powerful seeds. As long as we solve the problem with Qin Shutong, there would be no danger, I don’t believe that an iron cage and a small house can trap a powerful seed.
