Ye Qiu was startled and quickly stepped back three meters, then shone the flashlight to look.
It was only after waiting for a long time that he could see clearly. It turned out that this was not a face. but a human face.
However, this human face was a bit terrifying.
There was a piece of dried skin on the face, wrinkled, and the two eyeballs protruded, slightly whitish, just like the eyes of a dead fish.
At this time, these two eyes were staring at Ye Qiu motionlessly.
Ye Qiu looked at the other parts of the person’s body again and saw that the person was sitting on the ground, with very long hair, wearing a tattered clothes, and there was a stench coming from the body.
This stench was exactly the same as the stench exuded by those who died from the poison of Datura stramonium.
That is to say, the person in front of him was also poisoned by Datura stramonium.
Doubts couldn’t help but arise in Ye Qiu’s heart.
Who is this person？
Why is he staying inside the Buddha’s head？
And how could he be poisoned by Datura stramonium？
Ye Qiu took a half step forward, wanting to get closer and observe the person carefully.
But at this moment, Ye Qiu suddenly saw that those eyes like a dead fish actually moved slowly.
Ye Qiu’s footsteps stopped, and he asked in surprise, “You, you’re not dead？”
”Almost… almost dead.” A weak and emotionless voice sounded.
At this moment, Ye Qiu’s goosebumps all over his body stood up. The other party’s voice made people’s scalp tingle, just like a wandering soul.
”Who are you？”
When Ye Qiu asked the question, he quietly clenched his fist, ready to take action at any time.
“You can call me… Ghost… Servant！”
Ghost Servant？
This doesn’t sound like a person’s name！
“Why are you staying inside this Buddha head？” Ye Qiu asked again.
“The extremely yin place can suppress the poison of Datura. ” Speaking of this, Ghost Servant seemed to have caught his breath and spoke like a normal person.
“How many years have you been staying here？” Ye Qiu asked again.
“If I remember correctly, this year should be the twenty-fifth year.”
Ye Qiu was shocked. Didn’t it mean that this guy had already been staying here before he was born？
For more than twenty years, in the dark, how did he persist？
Ye Qiu was a little curious and asked, “When were you poisoned？”
“I was poisoned before coming in.” Ghost Servant replied.
“What？” Ye Qiu was greatly surprised and said in disbelief, “How is this possible！ Datura is a strange poison. Once an ordinary person is poisoned, they can’t last more than two hours. How could you have persisted for more than twenty years？”
“This is an extremely yin place, which can suppress the poison of Datura. Otherwise, I would have died long ago, cough cough…”
Ghost Servant coughed violently and was in a very bad state.
Ye Qiu thought for a while and said, “I am a doctor. How about I take a look at you？”
“It’s useless. There is no antidote for the poison of Datura. More than twenty years ago, even the three great national medical masters were helpless against this poison. If it weren’t for accidentally discovering this extremely yin place, I’m afraid I would have died long ago, cough cough…”
Blood began to cough up from the mouth of the Ghost Servant.
Ye Qiu asked again, “As far as I know, Datura has been extinct for hundreds of years. How did you get poisoned？”
“I was harmed by a treacherous person.”
When saying these three words, Ye Qiu saw that in the Ghost Servant’s fish-like eyes, endless hatred suddenly burst out.
“Who are you？” the Ghost Servant suddenly asked Ye Qiu.
“I am a doctor.”
The Ghost Servant stared at Ye Qiu’s face, his eyes motionless. Gradually, surprise and doubt appeared in his eyes…
Then, he began to murmur to himself, “So similar, so similar…”
“Similar to what？” Ye Qiu felt a little baffled.
“You, what’s your name？” the Ghost Servant asked.
“Ye Qiu！”
Ye Qiu clearly felt that when he said his name, the Ghost Servant’s eyes lit up a little.
“You also have the surname Ye. How old are you？”
“Twenty-four and a half.”
“The age also matches.” The Ghost Servant’s eyes became even brighter, and even his voice was slightly trembling as he eagerly asked, “Do you know Ye Wushuang？”
Ye Qiu shook his head and said, “I don’t know.”
“You really don’t know Ye Wushuang？”
“Don’t know.” Ye Qiu looked confused： “Who is Ye Wushuang？”
“It seems you really don’t know.” The light in the Ghost Servant’s eyes dimmed instantly, and his face was full of disappointment. After a long while, he asked： “As a doctor, why did you come here？”
“I came to investigate a case.” Ye Qiu said： “There is a residential building on this Buddha head, and five families live in it, a total of twelve people. They all died two days ago.”
The Ghost Servant said： “When they built the house back then, I warned them that digging on the Buddha head without reverence for the gods would definitely lead to no good end. But they didn’t listen and insisted on building a house on the Buddha head, and said that doing so could make a fortune.”
“Do you know that all these twelve people died of poisoning, and it was the poison of Datura.”
Upon hearing this, the Ghost Servant’s body trembled, as if he wanted to stand up, but in the end he still didn’t.
“After all, it was I who harmed them.”
The Ghost Servant sighed faintly.
Ye Qiu quietly opened his Celestial Eye and took a closer look. Only then did he discover that the Ghost Servant’s legs were empty from the calves down, and his feet were gone.
And it seemed that his feet had been lost for many years.
It’s hard to imagine how a person who is poisoned by a strange poison and has lost his feet can survive in this Buddha head where there is no sunlight at all？
“You look a bit like an old acquaintance of mine. What’s your father’s name？” The Ghost Servant asked.
“I have never seen my father.” Ye Qiu said. “Nor do I know who he is or what his name is.”
“Then what about your mother？”
“My mother’s name is Qian Jinglan.”
The Ghost Servant’s pupils suddenly widened, and he asked in surprise, “What did you just say？ What did you say your mother’s name is？”
“Qian Jinglan.”
“The eldest daughter of the Qian family in Suzhou and Hangzhou, Qian Jinglan？” the Ghost Servant asked again.
Ye Qiu was very surprised and asked, “You know my mother？”
The Ghost Servant stopped talking and looked at Ye Qiu with those dead fish-like eyes. Gradually, tears rolled down.
“What’s wrong with you？” Ye Qiu asked.
“Hahaha, the heavens have eyes, the heavens have eyes…” The Ghost Servant suddenly laughed, as if he had encountered something extremely happy. As he laughed, blood began to flow from the corner of his mouth.
“Brother, for twenty-five years, I… finally… did not disappoint the trust.”
“I found him…”
When the Ghost Servant said this, blood poured out from the corner of his mouth. Looking at Ye Qiu, he said with difficulty: The thing is… under the stone bed… left for you… Remember, don’t go to the capital, never… never go to the capital…”
“Don’t mention… Ye Wushuang… Otherwise, you… will… be in great trouble！”
Pfft——
The Ghost Servant spat out a mouthful of blood.
In less than half a minute, he passed away suddenly.
Until he stopped breathing, the Ghost Servant looked at Ye Qiu, with a happy smile on his face.
For some reason, at this moment, Ye Qiu felt an extremely sharp pain in his heart, as if he had lost a close relative of his own.
