chapter 12 little boy on the train

There was no talking all night, and in the early morning of the next day, Apep Marks drove Diana Neil to work. Before getting in the car, he took a few selfies in front of the car and posted them online.

The assistant didn't have much work, and he was very free all day, so he borrowed many professional books on art appraisal from Diana Neil and studied them carefully.

At noon, the two million transferred by Diana Neil arrived in his account. In the afternoon, there was news from Ignatius Neil that one of his friends was willing to pay 11.2 million to buy all the porcelain pieces.

Apep Marks and Diana Neil discussed it and agreed to the deal. Because the buyer was familiar with Ignatius Neil, he directly asked for the account number. After he received the goods, he would transfer the money directly to Apep Marks account.

This time, Apep Marks's personal wealth actually exceeded 15 million. With the money, he began to think about the seed material from Tianhua Company, but at present, he had insufficient funds, so this matter had to be postponed for a while.

In the afternoon, Apep Marks mother called and said that her grandmother was ill and asked Apep Marks to accompany her to visit her grandmother.

When it comes to grandma, Apep Marks's memory is actually vague. After he entered junior high school, he seemed to have never seen his grandmother again.

He comforted his mother and said he would go back as soon as possible.

After get off work, he asked Diana Neil for leave and said he wanted to go home. Now that he is considered a wealthy man, he returns home to see if he can stop his parents from working so hard. By the way, I also want to explain that he found a job in the provincial capital.

At six o'clock in the evening, Diana Neil personally dropped him off at the high-speed rail station. The two waved goodbye and he got on the train back home.

As the train moved, thoughts swirled in his mind. He was wondering what to do with the huge sum of money on hand. My parents are nearly fifty and they shouldn't have to work so hard anymore.

Just as I was thinking about it, the train stopped midway and a new passenger got on the train. At this time, a middle-aged couple got into the car with a little boy and sat across from him.

The little boy's eyes were dull and he sat motionless. The couple looked very tired and worried. The middle-aged man's brows furrowed into a frown, while the middle-aged woman sighed from time to time.

Apep Marks looked at the little boy, whose eyes were unfocused. Is the child sick? he thought to himself.

After watching for a long time, his eyes penetrated the little boy's skin and bones and observed the situation inside his brain. He discovered that there was a vertical black line in the center of the child's brain. He was curious and continued to observe. He found that the black thread was slightly thinner than fishing line, with one end exposed outside the skull and the other end buried deep in the brain.

Even a CT scan cannot capture such a thin line. What on earth is it?

Apep Marks was not a doctor. Although he saw the thin line, he could not say it rashly. As the old saying goes, if the doctor doesn't knock on the door, if he does, he will be regarded as a person with bad intentions.

He continued to observe and found that the thin wire had pierced several of the child's cranial nerves. Could it be that the child's stupidity has something to do with this?

Apep Marks was a kind man. Seeing the little boy's appearance, he felt pity for him. He thought for a while and decided to ask about the situation first. With a plan in mind, he smiled at the middle-aged man and asked, "Uncle, is your child feeling unwell?" "

The middle-aged man glanced at Apep Marks, nodded slightly, and said, "This is my son Uriel. He is not in good health."

Apep Marks groaned, took out the sweet orange from his bag and handed it to the little boy. The little boy didn't even look at it, his eyes were still dull.

The middle-aged man sighed and said, "He is ignoring people now."

Apep Marks asked strangely: "Uncle, how is the child? Have you been to the hospital?"

The middle-aged man had a good impression of Apep Marks. He sighed again and started talking.

It turns out that his son Uriel was fine six months ago. Later, a wandering Taoist priest came to the village and said that Uriel had bad luck. If he could give him one million, he could help solve it.

Of course the middle-aged man didn't believe it and thought he had met a liar. But what he didn't expect was that Uriel fell ill the day after the Taoist priest left. He started to have fever and chills, and did not get better after taking injections and medicine.

After three days of illness, he became what he is now, silent, ignoring people, acting like an idiot, as if his consciousness was not in his body.

It was not until then that the middle-aged man thought of what the old Taoist priest said. He made inquiries and learned that the Taoist priest was a Taoist priest from Yunhua Temple in Shanshui County. So the couple decided to go to Yunhua Temple to find the Taoist priest and ask him to save Uriel.

Apep Marks was very curious after hearing this. There was such a strange thing! He blinked, his intuition telling him that this matter was not simple.

He thought for a while and asked the middle-aged man: "Uncle, that Taoist priest asked for one million. I guess my uncle's family must be quite wealthy."

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly: "The family situation is not bad. Alas, it's all because I love money too much. If I had agreed to the Taoist priest, Uriel would not have suffered. Now I have figured it out, as long as Uriel can be cured, even if the whole family is Even if you become a pauper, I will admit it!"

He briefly talked about his situation. His name is Aidel Leonard. He contracted the brick factory in the village in his early years, and later opened a woven bag factory. He still has a family fortune of tens of millions.

Apep Marks felt more and more that something was wrong. He had heard of Yunhua Temple and it had a very good reputation. The dignitaries in the county all liked to go to the temple to seek advice from Taoist priests.

He hesitated and said, "Uncle Zhou, I am from Shanshui County. I can show you the way when you get there."

The man Aidel Leonard was very grateful: "Thank you very much, little brother."

Apep Marks is not a nosy person, but there is something fishy about this matter, and he must figure it out.

Shanshui County, part of Gangwon City, has a population of over one million. The county is mountainous and hilly, and the economy is relatively backward.

The group got off the train station, and Apep Marks called a car to take them to Yunhua Temple.

Aidel Leonard was very grateful to Apep Marks. When he was approaching Yunhua Temple, he found a restaurant and treated Apep Marks to lunch.

After lunch, Apep Marks accompanied the family of three on a hike to Yunhua Temple. There are more than a dozen luxury cars parked in front of the Taoist temple. It can be seen that the incense here is very popular, and the people who come to ask questions are either rich or noble.

There is a pavilion at the entrance of the Taoist temple. More than a dozen people are waiting in the pavilion, each holding a number plate in their hands.

A Taoist boy was leaning on the railing. When he saw Apep Marks and others approaching, he took out a number plate from his pocket and handed it to Aidel Leonard and said, "Place the number."

Aidel Leonard took the number plate and scanned around. There was no room to sit in the pavilion, and a few people could only stand outside the pavilion.

Apep Marks chatted with him without saying a word. After a few minutes, another Taoist boy walked out of the gate. He glanced at it and said to Aidel Leonard: "My master expected you to come over, so I asked you to come over." .”

Aidel Leonard was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly. Several people, including Apep Marks, followed them into the Taoist temple, walked around a large incense burner, and entered the main hall.

The Taoist temple is very grand, with the golden body of the founder of the Three Qing Dynasties enshrined inside, and the decoration is splendid.

In front of the statue of the Patriarch, a middle-aged Taoist priest sat cross-legged. His face is white and beardless, with slender eyes and long eyebrows. His hands are as delicate as white jade, with his palms facing the sky and placed on his knees.

As soon as Aidel Leonard entered the door, he knelt down in front of the middle-aged Taoist priest with a plop and said: "Taoist Master, it was me who was stupid and didn't listen to the Taoist Priest's advice. I'm going to forgive the Taoist Priest!"

After saying that, he kowtowed three times sincerely.
