I went back to the house, cleaned of the plague virus from my body, and then entered the door.

Everyone was there, so I put the needle and wire on the table and asked my grandfather, "Grandpa, do you know this?"

Grandpa reached out and picked up the embroidery needle on the table, looked at it carefully, and then sniffed it lightly and said, "How can there be corpse gas on this?" The tip of this embroidery needle is still stained, and it looks like corpse fluid, which was taken off the corpse?"

"Yes. I glanced at the crowd and said, "Everyone saw the video in the orphanage that day, right?"

"Hmm. Everyone nodded, and Grandpa said, "Two black-robed men dragged the corpses to spread the plague. ”

"The embroidery needle and steel wire were taken down from the black-robed man, but the two black-robed people were not living people, they were also two corpses, but their actions were all based on the wire, as if someone controlled them with the wire, like a marionette, the thread moved, they moved, that day I saw them walking around so swaying, I thought they were drunk, I didn't want to be dead. I explained.

"Marionette?" everyone's expressions were surprised, but the most surprised was my grandfather, because everyone else was not Hokkien, this marionette is a feature of Hokkien, and the puppet show is also called puppet show.

"That's right. I nodded, and I said, "It's the kind of puppet show that people invited to perform at home when I was a child, you should have heard of it, and it's not the thunderbolt puppet show that has been very popular on TV in recent years, it's true, it's a puppet show, I used to like to watch it." ”

"I've seen it, I've seen it. Wang Yue also said with great interest: "Su is really powerful." ”

"Don't interrupt, let's get down to business. Old Man Wang glared at Wang Yue, and he was silent in an instant.

Grandpa sighed, his face was very solemn, he said: "There used to be a puppet show class on Ludao, but now it is almost lost, and modern people don't like to watch that, although now you can still find people, but almost no one wants to learn, we used to have a theater troupe called the Five Tigers Class, and the specialty of this class is the story of the Five Tiger Generals of Shu during the Three Kingdoms period, so it got such a name, and I used to like to watch it, but this class disappeared inexplicably. ”

"Grandpa, what is the connection between this Five Tigers Class and this embroidery needle?" I looked at my grandfather, as if I had something on my mind.

"That's all the old calendar. Grandpa sighed and said, " In the seventies and eighties, the puppet troupe wanted to survive even more difficult, every household wanted to eat is very difficult, unless it is a large family, the family will invite the troupe to perform, but the general large households, if you want to please will also invite the Gaojia opera troupe, which is called a big drama in southern Fujian, and the puppet show is called a small drama, Gaojia opera is a real person to perform, about a dozen people, puppet show is much simpler, as long as two or three people, plus a musical instrument, so in that era, the survival of the troupe is very difficult. ”

"And then?" I asked, impatiently.

"There are five people in the five tiger classes on Ludao, three are from the Putian Puxian puppet show Puxian Gate, two from the Quanzhou puppet show of the Jiali Gate, the five tiger class, the five people in the five tiger class are also capable people, all of them have real skills in their hands, and then one person came up with a way, that is, to sell the puppet show, that is, to select a large family, and then use their hands and feet in the big family's house, so that the family members of the big family get sick, such as smallpox, the medical conditions at that time were insufficient, or traditional Chinese medicine as the mainstay, supplemented by Western medicine。 Grandpa sighed and said: "At that time, there was such a big family came to me to treat the disease, the whole family was sick, I went to see that it was smallpox, there was a special medicine that could be treated, if you use Chinese medicine, it can also be cured, but the speed will be slower, and then I told the family that it can be treated, and I began to treat, after a course of treatment, I received an anonymous note." ”

"Note?" everyone looked at Grandpa in surprise and asked almost at the same time, "What is written?"

"The note reads: If you dare to cure this family, you will wait for death!" Grandpa smiled bitterly and said: "I thought that the master's family had found me a Chinese medicine doctor, but I didn't want to find a few before, and those few were not incurable, but they were all scared away by such a note." ”

"Are you cured?"

"Hmm. Grandpa nodded and said, "My husband has something to do and something to do, so how can I not treat the disease and save people because of this threat?" This is not the principle of being a doctor. ”

"After you're cured, then what?"

"After leaving this family, no one came to me for trouble, because I also practiced, although not as good as you are now, but it was good at the time, maybe those people saw that I was also a practitioner, so they didn't do anything to me. Grandpa said with a smile.

I don't know why he's still laughing, is this just the end of it? I asked puzzledly, "Then if that's the case, how did you know that the Five Tigers Class was doing these things?"

"That's because half a month after I came back, the housekeeper of the family came to me again, saying that the family was sick again, and I was stunned, after I had smallpox, if I had been cured, I would not get smallpox again, so why did I get sick again? Grandpa thought for a moment and said, "I asked this old man if he had a feud or offended anyone?" He resolutely said no, and he treated the township well, and I wondered at the time, I thought I should talk to the person who wrote the note, to see what the crux of the problem was? Because the disease is easy to treat, this grievance is not easy to cure. ”

"Found the crux of the matter?"

"Of course, these people didn't show up, I only found out later, most of the rich families in Ludao will get all kinds of strange diseases, but I also found out that as long as these people get sick, they don't need to ask a doctor, as long as they go to invite the puppet troupe Wuhu Class to perform a show, and distribute food to the poor, they will naturally be cured. Grandpa thought for a while and said, "I didn't help the family treat the plague, but told them to invite the Five Tigers to perform the Lulu opera, and then distribute food to the neighbors, and they could be cured. ”

"And then, is the family okay?" I asked.

"Well, they really invited the Five Tigers class, and I met two of them, and after the performance, the next day, the master's illness slowly improved, and I left. Grandpa smiled and said: "On the morning of leaving, I found another note on the windowsill of the guest room, which read: Thank you for your understanding, in the era of green and yellow, it is really not easy to find a bite to eat!"
