Chapter 57
Yang is only in her early forties this year, and she is already haggard like an old woman in her sixties. She raised her hand and gently brushed the hair hanging down from her sideburns, and saw that the firewood in the stove was about to go out, so she quickly grabbed the fan next to the stove and shook it gently, and the fire in the stove was rekindled.
Probably because the temperature was a little high, fine sweat broke out on Yang's forehead, and she wiped it with the back of her hand casually, unaware that it was stained with soot.
She looked at the door of the thatched house, and sighed slightly with a worried look in her eyes.
After a while, the medicine was decocted, Yang took a rag and wrapped the edge of the casserole and picked it up and put it on the ground, extinguished the fire, and then poured the medicine into the bowl, and then brought it into the thatched house.
"Lao Lin, it's time to drink medicine. β
The thatched house was very simple, except for the kang, which only had an old table that looked old.
There was an old man lying on the kang, who was Yang's husband. At this time, his face looked very terrifying, his entire face was rotten, especially his lips were half festering, and even pink gums and white teeth could be seen.
Yang's face was very calm, she put the medicine on the table, bent down and picked up the wooden basin placed on the side of the kang and went out, came back with a basin of water, and wrung a handkerchief to wipe Lao Lin's face.
Carefully avoiding the festering skin, she rubbed it very carefully and carefully, and the force was very light, as if she was afraid of hurting the other party.
"Don't wipe it...... It's just rotten...... Save yourself a drag ......."
Lao Lin, who was lying on the kang and dying, whispered weakly, his eyelids were also a little rotten, and he couldn't open them completely, and if he insisted on opening them, they would crack and bleed, so he could only squint at Yang.
When Yang heard him say this, his heart ached, he forcibly endured his sadness, reluctantly pulled out a smile, and said angrily: "What did you say! I asked the doctor, and the doctor said that as long as you drink the medicine well, you will get better soon!"
Lao Lin looked at Yang's stiff smile, and his heart was also very painful, and he hated why he was infected with such a strange disease...... My son has died of this strange disease, and now he has to ...... Losing two close relatives at once is a huge blow to the Yang family, how will she live in the future?
"Come, just drink the medicine......" Yang helped Lao Lin up, took a cushion and stuffed it behind him so that he could lean on, picked up the medicine and blew it gently: "The medicine is not hot, come and I'll feed you......"
Lao Lin dimly saw a bowl appear in front of his eyes, he slowly shook his head, and said weakly: "...... Still is...... I'll do it myself......" he said, raising his hand to take the bowl.
As soon as he touched the bowl, he had no strength to support it, and he trembled and fell back to the kang.
Yang hurriedly pretended to be angry and said, "What's the matter, you hate me, if you don't want me to feed you, just say ......."
"Nothing...... Hello you...... Hello you...... Alas......"
Yang Shiqiang smiled: "I won't bother with you this time." Come, drink! ...... not bitter" took a spoon and scooped up a spoonful of dark brown concentrated medicine and gently brought it to Lao Lin's mouth.
Lao Lin opened his mouth slightly, and Yang fed it.
The medicinal juice flowed down the festering part of his lips, and Yang Shi hurriedly put down the spoon and grabbed the handkerchief to wipe the corners of Lao Lin's mouth, his heart was sour, and he almost shed tears.
"Isn't the medicine bitter? I added rock sugar to it...... I know you don't like bitterness the most......"
Lao Lin wanted to smile at Yang, but he couldn't laugh when he thought that this very simple action of laughing would cause his skin to be torn apart, and he would have to reapply the medicine at that time, and the family had spent all his savings to treat him and his dead son.
Yang fed him medicine spoonful by spoonful, and his movements were very skillful, and he could wipe it clean with a handkerchief in time whenever the medicine juice flowed down.
After feeding the medicine, Yang helped Lao Lin to lie down again, and went out to wash the bowl with a bowl.
Looking at the medicine residue in the casserole, Yang's eyes were finally wet, and she didn't dare to cry, for fear that Lao Lin inside would hear and worry.
In fact, the family has no money for a long time, and the money for this medicine is still borrowed from her own brother Dongzi. Lao Lin is strong, even if the family is in difficulty, he has never borrowed money from anyone, but this time the Yang family is hiding it from him.
Yang's younger brother Dongzi is a good person, and he asked him to borrow money without saying a word, and he didn't mention when he would pay it back.
Because of this strange disease, the people in the town are not doing very well, and Yang has seen someone drive his parents out of the house who are suffering from a strange disease, and threaten to ask his parents not to drag down a large family, and to find a place where no one knows and no one goes to fend for themselves as soon as possible, and save everyone from harming everyone is also a merit.
At that time, the Yang family scolded in his heart, this is simply an unfilial son, a brute with a rotten heart.
But she couldn't take care of it, her son was also sick at the time, how could she care about the life and death of others.
Not long after, her son died, and in her heartbreak, she also learned that the parents who had been driven out had died in a cemetery in the suburbs, and her bodies were dead in the wilderness.
It is said that the flesh and skin of the two old men were stinking and festering, and the rotten water and flesh were soaked, and the two corpses were glued together, tightly inseparable from each other. In the end, it was the well-wishers who paid for a thin coffin to be buried together.
After that, it didn't take long for Lao Lin to also catch a strange disease.
While thinking about the past, Yang poured the medicine residue on the side of the road, hoping to get rid of the old forest's illness with the help of passers-by's trampling.
In the distance, several men and women walked up, all dressed as peasant families.
Yang looked at them, and bad thoughts flashed in his heart.
"Lao Lin's family, listen up!"
The man at the head shouted loudly, his face awe-inspiring.
Yang frowned, this man was the vicious beast who drove his own parents out of the house.
She stared at a few people tightly, and asked carefully, "I don't know what happened to you coming to my house?"
The man seemed to be very excited, his face was congested and reddened, and he said in a loud voice: "Of course we are here for your good! Before you know it, an immortal master has appeared in our town! The immortal master has boundless power, he told us that he has a way to cure the strange disease! We are here to inform you, if you want to cure Lao Lin's strange disease, please let us send him to the immortal master's immortal mansion in the town!"
It's not that the Yang family is not in a hurry about Lao Lin's strange illness, it's just that when her son was sick, she went to the mountain temple to kneel and pray, and in the end, her son still left her.
Moreover, she was very disgusted with the shameless man in front of her, and what the man said deepened her suspicions even more.
It's just that she also knows that it's not good to refuse all at once, otherwise she really doesn't know if the man will do something more vicious. How can a brute who can abandon even his own parents regardless of life and death, how can he treat outsiders with kindness.
Yang pulled a smile and said, "It's really good! Since everyone says so, then the immortal master's ability must be up to heaven! In this way, I don't want to bother you, wait for me to go to my brother's house to borrow an ox cart, and then bring Lao Lin to the town to treat the immortal master." I'm really tired of you running this trip......"
The man smirked, thinking to himself that he would not be happy not to have to touch the patient personally. He had seen people with strange diseases who were ugly and disgusting, with festering flesh and skin...... He wanted to vomit every time he thought about it, and was glad that he had wisely kicked out the two old wasters earlier.
"That's good! We have an ox cart to pull us, and we save our effort. That's it, you hurry up and bring Lao Lin to town, we have to hurry up and notify the next family!"
After the man finished speaking, he swept the thatched house with disdain in his eyes and left with a few people.
Yang saw that the people were gone, so she relaxed, and she had to go to her younger brother Dongzi to discuss.
After entering the thatched house and seeing that Lao Lin was asleep, Yang covered the door of the house and went to his younger brother Dongzi's house and repeated the man's words.
When Dongzi heard this, he immediately got angry and said, "How can this be true! What a bullshit immortal master! It's just a liar!"
Although the Yang family was also a little skeptical, he was not as sure as Dongzi, so he asked, "Brother, why are you so sure that the immortal master is a liar?"
"This ......"
Dongzi hesitated for a moment before saying, "Anyway, you will know later, so I'll tell you in advance...... Isn't Da Niu's uncle gone?"
Yang nodded and motioned to continue.
Dongzi swallowed his saliva and said, "Hey, it's also evil...... When Uncle Niu was about to be buried, the coffin was crawled over by a cat!"
"Ahh
"Yes! Uncle Niu has become a zombie! I was not there at the time, I didn't see it. Da Niu told me that all the people were scared away at that time! Zombies chased a Taoist priest, who do you guess that Taoist priest was?"
Yang hesitated: "...... Immortal Master?"
"That's right! It's this liar! Da Niu told me, this liar was chased by zombies and fainted in fright! It can be seen that what can cure strange diseases is fake! I can't even subdue demons and subdue demons, so I can't cure diseases? I don't believe it! Andββ"
Dongzi dragged out his voice and said with a mysterious face: "I guess the master who subdued the zombies is in Da Niu's house!"
Yang's eyes widened and he asked curiously, "How do you know?"
Dongzi's face was unfathomable, and he waited for Yang to urge again and again before he said slowly: "Da Niu recently had a guest at home, and I went to his house when his uncle was seriously ill that day, and I saw that there were a few faces I didn't know. Later, Da Niu asked me to help him in the evening, and two of his guests were also there, so the zombie was pinned to the side! I quietly asked Da Niu, and although Da Niu didn't say it explicitly, I was sure that they were the ones who subdued the zombies!"
Yang nodded, looking thoughtful.
Dongzi glanced at his sister and said, "Da Niu's daughter-in-law is too, and those few may also go to him." To expose the lies of that liar, we need all of us together. In this case, let's go to Da Niu's house to discuss with him now!"
Yang agreed, and she really wanted to see what the master in that brother's mouth was like.
The two set off without delay, and when they arrived at Da Niu's house, they found that those people had already come, and the man was still lobbying Gao Da Niu loudly as a representative.
However, Gao Daniu looked impatient, which showed that he didn't take it seriously.
The man was very dissatisfied with the attitude of the tall bull, and gradually spoke harshly.
Inside, a woman opened her eyes.
At the same time, Zhu Yuanyu, who finally succeeded in getting rid of the second spiritual wisdom after exsuming all his energy, was being carried by Qi Yi in the direction of the tall Niu family.
