Chapter 209 What happened to the old lady?
The policewoman thought for a moment and gestured for Qi Yuxuan to wait a moment.
She quickly crossed the corridor, arrived at the sheriff's office, and knocked on the door.
"Come in."
The sheriff's voice was calm and powerful.
The policewoman pushed open the door and saw the police chief engrossed in reviewing documents.
She took a deep breath, trying to keep her tone calm:
"Sir, I just registered Mr. Qi's information, and things are a bit complicated."
The sheriff looked up, put down the documents in his hand, and sharply scrutinized her:
"what happened?"
The policewoman frowned slightly, seemingly organizing her thoughts:
“That Mr. Qi… he’s so handsome, he doesn’t look like a mental patient at all, but his words and actions are so strange. He mentioned some things that we can’t understand, and he even took out a strange coin.”
The sheriff paused for a moment, then gestured for her to continue:
"What exactly happened?"
The policewoman took the bill out of her pocket, unfolded it, and handed it to the police chief:
"This is the 'flying money' he gave me."
He said he wanted to use this to pay for his ID card. Although we're not a fee-collecting organization, this is the first time I've ever seen this kind of money in my twenty years of life, so I brought it here to show you.
The sheriff took the money and examined it carefully.
This is indeed a unique coin, and its material is quite peculiar.
He frowned, a hint of doubt creeping into his mind.
"What else did he say?" the sheriff asked.
The policewoman opened her notebook, found the notes she had just taken, and handed them to the sergeant:
“This is our transcript of the conversation. He mentioned that he came from Yangzhou in the late Tang Dynasty, and his wife was named Qiu Ziyue, who was from the Valley of Passion, while he was from the Valley of Heartbreak.”
The sheriff read the record carefully, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.
He placed the notes on the table, crossed his arms over his chest, and looked thoughtfully at the policewoman:
Do you think he was joking? Or does he have some other purpose?
The policewoman shook her head: "I'm not sure. But he doesn't seem to be lying, and his behavior just now was indeed a bit unusual."
After a moment of contemplation, the sheriff made his decision:
"Let's get Mr. Qi's ID card processed first. I'll pay for the ID card. Also, I'll take this 'flying money' to a collector to have it examined; maybe they can find out something."
The policewoman nodded and turned to leave.
"Yes, Sheriff. I'll handle it as soon as possible."
"and many more."
The sheriff called her over.
"Report on Mr. Qi's situation to me at any time. He is a rare talent. Ask him if he is interested in coming here to be a policeman."
The policewoman answered in response:
"clear."
She returned to the reception room and saw Qi Yuxuan still sitting there quietly, looking calm and composed.
She said with a smile:
"Mr. Qi, please wait a moment, we will process your ID card as soon as possible."
Qi Yuxuan nodded in understanding: "Thank you for your help."
"Mr. Qi, how old are you?"
"I'm 19 years old?"
"Hmm? 19, are you sure this is your child?"
"Yes, is there a problem?"
"Hmm? No, it's just strange. In our area, this age isn't considered the legal age."
The policewoman said awkwardly.
"So, in what year were you born?"
"The third year of the Zhonghe reign of Emperor Xizong of Tang, which is 883 AD."
"Hmm, this?"
The policewoman was completely bewildered and unconsciously scratched her head.
"Oh well, Mr. Qi, I'll register you as born in 2002. Let's go by your age," the policewoman sighed.
“Alright, when in Rome, do as the Romans do,” Qi Yuxuan said after thinking for a moment.
"Okay, Mr. Qi, you and your child need to register your household registration. You also need to provide your child's information. We will process your ID card and household registration together, is that alright?"
"Okay." Qi Yuxuan nodded.
While Qi Yuxuan was registering his information in City A, Qiu Ziyue was watching TV in a hospital in City Z.
Suddenly, he saw a news report about Qi Yuxuan's heroic rescue of a pregnant woman.
On TV, Qi Yuxuan held Minglan in his arms. Qi Yuxuan was handsome and dashing, and his good looks immediately attracted many female viewers as soon as he appeared on TV.
"Wow, who is this male celebrity? He's so handsome, he's so eye-catching!"
In Qiu Ziyue's hospital room, the female nurse glanced at the TV and immediately exclaimed in admiration.
However, Qiu Ziyue has lost all her memories of the ancient times, which confirms what the old man from the Demon Spring said.
She no longer recognized Qi Yuxuan, but watching him on television, she couldn't help but be attracted by his appearance. She unconsciously said:
"Wow, this guy is so handsome, and he's even wearing ancient costume. Is he a god descended to earth?"
Qiu Ziyue muttered to herself.
Suddenly, a commotion arose from inside the hospital.
"Qiu Ziyue, come out here! Give me the antidote, I'm going crazy!"
A woman's urgent voice called out.
"Stop her! Stop her!"
The doctors and nurses said in a panic.
When Qiu Ziyue heard her name called, she came out out of curiosity to find out what was going on.
Qiu Ziyue slowly pushed open the door to the ward and walked out into the corridor.
She froze as soon as she stepped outside.
The scene before her eyes almost made her unable to believe her eyes—Zhao Wanqing was standing not far away.
But she no longer recognized Zhao Wanqing.
At this time, Zhao Wanqing's hair was gray, and she was dressed in ancient costume, making her look like an elderly woman.
She walked and shouted, and her leg seemed to be injured, she limped and looked pitiful.
Zhao Wanqing's voice carried a hint of urgency and fear:
"Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer!"
The doctors and nurses around her tried to comfort her, but she avoided them all.
Several security guards surrounded her, trying to stop her, but Zhao Wanqing easily knocked them down, and the guards all lay on the ground groaning in pain.
A sense of unease welled up in Qiu Ziyue's heart, and she quickly stepped forward:
What's wrong with this old lady?
Upon hearing the call, Zhao Wanqing turned around abruptly, her eyes filled with confusion and terror.
Then she looked incredulous, and then burst into laughter:
"Auntie? Auntie? Hahaha, Qiu Ziyue, what are you pretending for? Quickly bring me the antidote!"
Qiu Ziyue looked confused and completely at a loss:
"I am Qiu Ziyue, do you know me? But I don't know you..."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Wanqing was filled with rage and threw a punch at Qiu Ziyue.
Qiu Ziyue reacted quickly, dodging to the side, and the two instantly engaged in a fierce standoff in the hospital corridor.
People around gasped in surprise, and doctors, nurses, and security guards tried to intervene, but the two avoided them.
Zhao Wanqing's movements were swift and sharp, each move carrying a force not to be underestimated.
However, Qiu Ziyue was equally well-trained, and while dodging, she looked for an opportunity to counterattack.
"Auntie, calm down!"
Qiu Ziyue tried to persuade him while dodging him.
"Don't pretend to be crazy, Qiu Ziyue. You want to force me to my death? I only came to this godforsaken place with you because I needed the antidote!"
Zhao Wanqing roared and threw another heavy punch.
Qiu Ziyue turned to the side again, and seized Zhao Wanqing's wrist, using the other's strength to counterattack.
Zhao Wanqing struggled fiercely, but Qiu Ziyue held her arms tightly, making her unable to move.
