Chapter 196 – Health Check Up
In truth, when Wei Xiao Bei imagined himself being trapped inside the censer, his back would go cold. As for the meaning of the local god when he said not more than one year, he also understood it.
It was like when prisoners were sent to the mines for work. It was easy to imagine how long they could actually live for.
No matter what was said, Wei Xiao Bei was now relieved.
He pondered for a bit before before searching on the internet. Unfortunately, the rural tourism building did not have anything luxurious like wi-fi.
Having a network plan would be the best, otherwise only mobile data could be used, which was a bit more expensive.
However, Wei Xiao Bei’s computer was back home so he only used his phone to make calls and act as a database, so he did not have a network plan.
The good thing was that it did not matter much. After all, Wei Xiao Bei was not poor anymore, so he did not care about this.
After connecting to the internet, he opened the web and searched.
He searched for articles on the Bai Ta Hill and the Lai Longgang Temple.
However, there was not much information about them.
After all, these two places were only scenic spots in the Bai Ta County. They were not even the popular scenic spots that came with pretty descriptions.
However, even if that was so, Wei Xiao Bei was still able to obtain some information.
There was not much about the Bai Ta Hill, but as for the Lai Longgang Temple, it was built during the Ming Dynasty with more than 300 years of history. It was a popular temple in the county and only second to the Shing Wong Temple on the east side of the county.
Naturally, this was only during the ancient times. Now, the only people going there to pray were old aunties. Most of the villagers would just create a simple local god spirit tablet, and eventually the amount of people visiting the temple decreased.
After searching for a bit longer, Wei Xiao Bei turned off the internet and opened the material sources he downloaded.
In truth, Wei Xiao Bei was surprised at his own enthusiasm in studying.
This might have been a residual effect of increase his learning attribute to 15 points.
Time slowly passed by until the rooster began to crow. It was already morning when Wei Xiao Bei decided to put down his phone that was almost out of battery and rubbed his eyes.
He thought that it was already time for him to change his phone. His counterfeit phone had already been with him for half a year, but its battery supply was simply too inefficient.
After getting up from the bed, Wei Xiao Bei went to take a hot bath.
In the Dust World, his Adidas were already torn up. Luckily, he had brought a change of clothes. When he changed his clothes and came out the room, he saw that the landlord was talking with the police about something, while a few military men were standing guard behind with semi automatic pistols.
Wei Xiao Bei did not pay any attention to them before and only heard a few words now.
With just a few words, he already understood the topic. The police was in charge of guarding the place and inquiring from house to house.
After all, the homicidal maniac known as Zhu Yi Duo had not yet been captured.
When Wei Xiao Bei sat in the dining hall, the police was still in the proces of questioning every person.
Wei Xiao Bei did not make any careless slip-ups. After all, his appearance was a lot different from Zhu Yi Duo.
Just the 20 centimeter difference in their height was enough to make them not bring in Wei Xiao Bei for questioning.
When the police left, Wei Xiao Bei began to eat breakfast with ease.
This rural tourism is not bad. Their breakfast is very filling.
For the eggs, there were fried eggs, sunny side up, boiled eggs, salted eggs, etc. For the vegetables, there were salted vegetables and pickled abages. There were also oil based food such as deep-fried breadstick, deep-fried doughcake, and fried dumpling. There was even vegetable porridge, pumpkin porridge, century egg porridge, and many other foods.
There were even noodles, and rice for those who wanted them.
Naturally, this much food needed a lot of people to finish completely.
When Wei Xiao Bei returned yesterday night, he did not see many people, but now, the amount of people in the dining hall increased to more than 30 people.
Wei Xiao Bei ate five bowls of porridge, ten salted eggs and stewed eggs, six dishes of tofu, 250 kg of salted beef, and two bowls of noodles.
After eating his fill, he went out to settle the bill. The landlord looked at Wei Xiao Bei a few times, doubting his eyes.
He remembered Wei Xiao Bei was someone who had checked in at night and had good alcohol tolerance and a frank personality.
However, how could Wei Xiao Bei seemed to have grown in just one night?
No matter how he looked at it, their relationship was only that of customer and shop owner.
Even if Wei Xiao Bei suddenly grew so much, he did not think about it too much. He only looked at Wei Xiao Bei a few times when he left.
Wei Xiao Bei started the minivan and drove back to the county.
Although he was already an adult, he was afraid that his family would be worried about him after disappearing for one night.
The road back was full of twists and turns.
Wei Xiao Bei encountered three checkpoints on his way back. There were fully armed police and militia at every checkpoint that carefully inspected each and every vehicle.
Thus, there was a long line at every checkpoint.
A lot of people did not like to form in line, so it would cause agitation in their hearts every time they encounter one.
As a result, Wei Xiao Bei saw one idiot that was driving a BMW, which could be considered a superior car in the county, sounding his horn when crossing the checkpoint.
This caused lot of noise there, disturbing everyone in 50 meters around him.
Wei Xiao Bei heard him curse at the police, resulting in him getting dragged out of the car and get beaten up.
Seeing this scene, Wei Xiao Bei could not help but shake his head.
Obediently crossing the checkpoint would have ended it, but he just had to court disaster.
This was also the current situation. The Bai Ta County was not economically developed, so when someone struck gold, they would feel that their positions were different, that they were above everyone and would provoke anyone.
What times were we in now?
Perhaps because Zhu Yi Duo’s case had alarmed the entire province, just because someone had a slight prerogative in the Bai Ta County did not mean that they could play around.
After returning to Bai Ta Elementary School, Wei Xiao Bei parked the car in front of the teacher’s building. When he went up the stairs and was about to knock on the door, he heard a familiar voice come from below.
It seems that mother and Zhu Xin Yi have returned.
Wei Xiao Bei hurriedly went down and saw that his mother and Zhu Xin Yi were carrying groceries. He quickly went forward and tried to take the grocery in his mother’s hands.
Who knew that Wei Xiao Bei would be berated by his mother, scolding him along the lines of how Zhu Xin Yi, such a good girl, actually liked a bastard like Wei Xiao Bei, etc.
At this time, Wei Xiao Bei remembered that Zhu Xin Yi was his temporary girlfriend!
His performance was just too bad in his mother’s eyes. He did not fawn on his beloved girlfriend but decided to help his mother first.
Although this made his mother happy, she had misgivings that this would make Zhu Xin Yi angry.
It must be known that a lot of girls nowadays wanted to be pampered and spoiled. A small inattentiveness would cause a fight to break out.
His mother cared a lot about Zhu Xin Yi and thought that Wei Xiao Bei was already 22 years old. People of the Bai Ta County married early and many senior middle school graduates have already married. It must be known that a few people among Wei Xiao Bei’s classmates were already fathers and mothers.
Thus, his mother did not want such a small matter to cause a good daughter-in-law to run away.
In truth, Zhu Xin Yi would not become angry at such a small matter. Moreover, their relationship was fake.
Wei Xiao Bei was her master. Even if she was angry, she did not dare face Wei Xiao Bei.
They entered the house at the same time and carried the groceries into the kitchen. Wei Xiao Bei’s mother and Zhu Xin Yi began to separate the edible parts of the vegetables, while Wei Xiao Bei took this chance to charge his phone.
Not long after, Wei Xiao Bei was pulled to the side by his mother and was immediately stared at.
He knew that his sudden growth was seen through by his mother.
In truth, it was not only his height but also his body size that had become more striking. When he entered the school, the uncle guarding the gate also looked at him a few times.
Luckily, Wei Xiao Bei instantly gifted him a pack of cigarettes, else the guard might have pulled Wei Xiao Bei to the side.
“Nothing’s wrong! Nothing’s really wrong. If you don’t believe me, we can go get a health check up today.”
Wei Xiao Bei was slightly helpless, and he was afraid of his mother nagging at him, so he had no choice but take the initiative to bring up seeing a doctor and prevent his parents from worrying.
Hearing Wei Xiao Bei’s words, his mother nodded her head, but her expression was still filled with worry.
After eating lunch, his mother planned to let Wei Xiao Yun accompany Zhu Xin Yi, while both him and his mother went to the hospital to get a check up.
However, Wei Xiao Bei smiled and asked Zhu Xin Yi to go with them. This made his mother fiercely glare at him.
His mother was worried about him. She was worried that if something bad was discovered, such a beautiful girl would want to dump her own child.
However, in the end the he check up went well. The eyes of the doctor-in-charge’s eyes was about to shine when he saw that such a robust man was his patient.
Luckily, Wei Xiao Bei continuously explained that he was training in martial arts. This just made the doctor envy him and only felt that having such a body was normal. Otherwise, the doctor might have asked for some kind of sample from him to study.
No matter what, the result of the check up made half of his mother’s heart calm down, but the other half was still tensed up.
The reason was simple. She was worried that the current medical field was not developed enough and was just unable to see through Wei Xiao Bei’s illness. Otherwise, there was no reason why she was given no explanation as to why her own son suddenly grew in just one night.
Naturally, Wei Xiao Bei did not plan to explain anything to his mother.
