Doctor, you, are you okay?" The middle-aged woman looked at Li Dong with a worried face, and stretched out her hand to dangle in front of Li Dong's eyes, probably thinking that the young doctor was frightened after hearing about the zombies.

"I'm fine. Li Dong shook his head, in order to reassure the other party, he also smiled, proving that he was really fine.

In fact, he was not frightened, but he was very curious.

Isn't a zombie a kind of ghost in folklore, something that only exists in movies and television? Isn't this eldest sister not in good spirits, or is it too hot to suffer from heat stroke?

"Eldest sister, are you sure it's a zombie and not another beast?" Li Dong looked at the other party and asked, "You, have you seen it with your own eyes?"

"Of course I have seen it, not only I, but many people in our village have seen it, or why do you think the people in our village are hiding at home and not going out? The eldest sister said nervously, and when she mentioned zombies, her face would show a look of horror.

Many people have seen it?

Li Dong looked at the eldest sister, the other party seemed to be absolutely revealing his true feelings, not deliberately playing pranks on him, he was afraid that this state could not be pretended, if the other party could really act so well, then this eldest sister should act in a movie, it is definitely a queen-level performance.

However, could this be another misunderstanding?

Just like some villages used monkeys as demons?

"Eldest sister, I'd better take a look at the eldest brother's injury first. Li Dong said that as a doctor who has seen tens of thousands of injuries, he can now determine what caused them by the condition of the wounds.

"Okay, I'll show you. ”

The woman came to the bedside, and the corner of the quilt was lifted, revealing one of the man's legs, and at the calf of the left leg, there were three wounds more than one finger long, the skin was open and the flesh was open, and the bones were visible deeply, and the strange thing was that the wound was not medicated or bandaged, and the surface had begun to become inflamed and pus, and there was even some decay, and a rancid smell made people want to vomit.

"Doctor, can it be cured?" the woman asked anxiously.

Li Dong observed carefully for a long time, then turned his head to look at the middle-aged woman and asked, "Eldest sister, are you sure, this is really scratched by zombies? Why do I feel like I was scratched by an iron weapon?

He'd seen this kind of injury before, so it was very easy to tell.

"Doctor, you don't know, zombie claws are like iron hooks. The woman said happily, "That is, my man ran fast, and he picked up a life from under the hands of zombies, and if he was someone else, he would have been eaten by zombies a long time ago." ”

Li Dong looked at the serious middle-aged woman, and still didn't believe what the other party said, even if there are really zombies, then zombies should be human, even if people's fingernails are sharp, they are still very different from iron hooks or something, and the scratches left are not the same in depth or size.

"Eldest sister, what do zombies look like?" Li Dong asked curiously, in the movie, there are many kinds of zombies, some are wrapped in white cloth, some are pale, some are rotten, and different movies have very different descriptions of zombies.

"Appeared in our village is a hundred years of zombies, wearing the official uniform of the Qing Dynasty, pale face, walking swaying, I heard that we had a big official before, and then buried in the mountains on the other side of the river, these zombies are the burial of the big official's side, because they are full of resentment, so they come out to hurt people today after a hundred years. When the middle-aged woman spoke, her whole body shivered, and the pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses in the house were also trembling and hiding behind their mothers, even when they looked at Li Dong, their eyes were full of timidity, as if Li Dong was also a zombie.

Zombies are wearing Qing Dynasty official uniforms? Isn't that a zombie only found in Hong Kong films? And shouldn't this kind of zombie walk by jumping and jumping, how did it become a swaying one?

It seems that Hong Kong films are for reference only, and the actual product shall prevail.

"Eldest sister, who did you listen to when you said these words?" Li Dong asked, since the origin of zombies was told by others, how did this 'other person' know?

"There was a legend about zombies in our village a long time ago, since I was a child, I often heard adults say, but the real sight of zombies was a month ago, when some villagers were picking wild vegetables in the nearby mountains, they saw two zombies, and in the next few days, many villagers saw them on the mountain, and there were villagers who were attacked by zombies, my man was one of them, and I knew that he would not be allowed to go up the mountain. As she spoke, tears flowed down the woman's face.

"Sister, don't be sad. Li Dong comforted, "It's just that everyone hides at home all day, it's not like that, haven't you thought of any way?"

"I thought about it, just half a month ago, two Taoist priests came to the village, saying that we have grievances here, and if we want not to be attacked by zombies, we must hang white yarn in front of every house, and we have to offer it every morning, and the offerings must be poultry and livestock, and it only takes enough for a month, and the river god here is moved, and the river god will protect the village, and the zombies will not come. ”

Taoist?

Li Dong was stunned, this Taoist priest wouldn't happen to be surnamed Lin, right?

In the past six months, he has walked through a lot of mountains and rivers, up mountains, down caves, encounters with fierce beasts, and poisonous insects, but he has never seen zombies, and he has met a lot of fake Taoists and fake wizards.

"Eldest sister, didn't you let those two Taoist priests treat this injury to the eldest brother?" Li Dong asked, since those two Taoist priests were so powerful, presumably this little injury should be nothing to them.

Taoist priests, isn't they specialized in refining elixirs?

"I found it, the two Taoist priests simply gave some medicine to the wound, and then said that as long as the offering is made for a month, the river god will bless the village, and this little injury will naturally be healed. The middle-aged woman said.

Good?

It's all very infected, it's about to rot, can it still be naturally better? If it is delayed, the whole calf will have to be sawed off.

"Cover the quilt, that's what those Taoist priests said?" Li Dong asked, he felt that all normal people would not be so lacking in heart, covering the quilt on a hot day, looking for heat stroke?

"Well, the Taoist priest said that by doing so, you can avoid the outflow of corpse qi from spreading to your family and children. ”

“……”

Li Dong was speechless, he hadn't heard that trauma could be contagious, and it was hot and sweaty, so it was strange that the wound could be healed.

"How many days has it been on the stockade?" Li Dong asked, he always felt that the two Taoist priests in the mouth of the eldest sister were liars.

"Fifteen days later, the poultry and livestock in the village have been almost supplied, and the villagers can only go to the nearby mountains to hunt to meet the needs of the river god. The eldest sister sighed deeply as she spoke, she had a few chickens and ducks at home, but now they are all available.

"You won't just throw the offerings into the river, will you?" asked Li Dong in surprise.

"Instead of throwing them into the river, they killed the poultry and livestock, put them on rafts, and pushed them into the river in front of the stockade. ”

The more Li Dong listened, the more he felt that something was wrong, if it was for the sake of supplying the river god, he could just throw it into the river, why should he kill it and put it on the raft? In this way, the raft would go down the river, and wouldn't the offerings flow downstream? Once the people in the downstream village were allowed to pick it up, wouldn't the river god get nothing? Wouldn't the offering be in vain?

Li Dong thought about it, and probably understood what was going on!
