2. Chapter 2 This son is not sick
Fanjia Village, there are only two small roads that can barely be called streets, less than 100 residents almost all live in mud wall tile houses, only at the end of one of the streets near the mountain and the river, there is still a Qing Dynasty style quite large mansion, the scale is grand from a distance, and when you get closer, you can see that the vermilion paint has peeled off on the door of this house, which can be seen to be in disrepair for a long time. On the left and right sides of the gate, there is a stone lion that is a foot high, and the pair of stone lions are angry and round, and at first glance, they are very bluffing.
This mansion belongs to the Luo family, who is surnamed Fanjia Village, and today, it opened its doors surprisingly early. In the corridor leading from the main gate to the inner hall stood an elderly man with gray hair, and a burly middle-aged man. The old man is the head of the Luo family, the old lady Luo Xiping, a well-known miracle doctor and a great benevolent man, the middle-aged man standing behind him is his eldest grandson Luo Wencheng, although his name is Wen Cheng, but in fact, he is a skilled martial artist, and there is really no one in these ten miles and eight towns who is his opponent.
Why did this grandfather and grandson open the door and stand in this corridor for no reason? It was all because of a dream that Old Lady Luo had last night. A white ape covered in blood came like a dream, knelt down in front of Mrs. Luo's bed, crying and begging Mrs. Luo to save its life. Old lady Luo sat up violently, and was about to stretch out his hand to check his pulse, but the injured white ape spread his legs and ran out of the old lady's bedroom, all the way to the door of the ancestral hall where the spirit tablets of the ancestors of the Luo family were enshrined. Old lady Luo quickly followed, and when the white ape saw the old lady coming, he immediately entered the ancestral hall.
Before the old lady could follow up the ancestral hall, he heard a crisp sound, and when the old lady walked into the ancestral hall, the white ape had already disappeared, and there was a fallen spirit card on the ground. The old lady bent down to pick up the spirit card, and suddenly his face turned pale. That piece turned out to be the spirit card of his son who had passed away less than a month ago.
"Xingbang, is it you? Who injured you so badly?" Old lady Luo asked softly to her son's spirit card, but no one answered.
This is the end of the dream.
After Mrs. Luo woke up, she turned over and got out of bed without saying a word, and immediately came to the room of the eldest grandson Luo Wencheng to wake him up.
"Your father has just given me a dream, it seems that he is injured and begging me to save it, you go and open the door, and cover the door with a yellow cloth, otherwise he will not be able to return to the house. The old lady said in a deep voice.
"My father, didn't we overtake him for seven days?" After listening to the old lady's words, he threw out a series of questions.
"Don't talk nonsense, go quickly!" the old lady said, turning and leaving.
As soon as the old lady left with his front foot, Luo Wencheng left the room with his back foot, and he was confused, but he still did what the old lady ordered, and he never questioned his legendary grandfather. For many years, it was the old lady who said that he Luo Wencheng was responsible for doing it.
Finally, after all the qiē was ready, the genius had just turned white. The grandfather and grandson stood in the cloister facing the gate one after the other, waiting quietly. This stop changed from early morning to dusk, and even the food was brought over by the family.
In the evening, God suddenly became angry and there was a hurried rainstorm, and after the rain had passed, a gust of wind passed through the gate and into the cloister, and the old lady's white hair fluttered in the wind.
"Here it is! Wen Cheng, go to the ancestral hall and light all the candles and oil lamps. The old lady suddenly said in a loud voice to the eldest grandson behind him.
"Hmm!" Luo Wencheng didn't ask much, and left.
The old lady didn't leave there, he still stood there, staring at the gate, as if he was still waiting for something.
"Is Mrs. Luo at home?" A shirtless man suddenly broke into the gate of Luo's house, and the man was holding a child in his hand, it was Li Laosan's father and son who came to seek medical treatment.
Old lady Luo didn't say anything, he first glanced at the man, shook his head, and then looked at the child in the man's hand, this look, the old man suddenly frowned.
"You are Mrs. Luo, right? Please save my son!" After Li Laosan saw Mrs. Luo, he confirmed the identity of the other party at first sight, so he immediately knelt down.
"Don't kneel yet!" Seeing this, Mrs. Luo grabbed Li Laosan and pushed him gently, but before Li Laosan's knees could hit the ground, he stood back in place.
"Come with me and see if there is any salvation. As the old lady spoke, she had already turned around and walked towards the inner hall.
was forcibly pushed back to the same place, Li Laosan looked at the old man's back and was dumbfounded. An old man in his old age has such arm strength, and he uses it just right, no more than no less, just enough to push himself back into place, it seems that he is really a master who escapes from the world. Li Laosan was secretly happy in his heart, and hurriedly followed the old man's footsteps and walked into the inner hall of the Luo family.
Li Laosan walked into the inner hall of the Luo family with Sanqing in his arms, and all the old and young members of the Luo family gathered here.
Wen Cheng stayed, and the others went to the ancestral hall first, looking at the candle lights. ”
As soon as the old lady spoke, the Luo family immediately dispersed. Luo Wencheng led Li Laosan to a guest room.
"Put the child in bed, and you two will wait for me outside the house first." Old lady Luo walked into the guest room, carrying a black medicine box in his hand, and said without refusal.
Luo Wencheng left first, Li Laosan hesitated, but still put Sanqing gently on the bed, and then walked out of the guest room and closed the door. Standing outside the door, I looked at the watch on my wrist for a while, frowned for a while, looked at my watch again for a while, and so on and so on.
"Listen to the accent, from the north?" Seeing Li Laosan's nervous face, Luo Wencheng took the lead in talking.
"A native of Zhejiang, I have been in the Northeast for a few years. Can I smoke?" Li Laosan turned his head to look at Luo Wencheng, and waited until the other party nodded, and then he took out a box of soggy cigarettes from his pocket.
"Great China, it's a good thing, but it's a pity it's all wet. The corners of Luo Wencheng's mouth raised slightly, fumbled and took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, and continued: "Smoke mine, Hongta Mountain, it's not a good thing, but I like this taste." ”
Li Laosan shook the already soaked cigarette in his hand, stuffed it back into his pocket, and then reached out to take the cigarette handed over by Luo Wencheng, put it in his mouth, Luo Wencheng lit it for himself, and lit it for Li Laosan. A puff of smoke poured into his mouth, crossed his throat and then drilled into his lungs, and Li Laosan's heart rippled. He quickly finished smoking a cigarette after puff, and his tense nerves relaxed a lot.
"How long has the child been sick?" Luo Wencheng held a cigarette and leaned on the pillar of the room, looking like an old god was there.
"It's been five years. Li Laosan stretched his ears and listened, but there was no movement in the guest room, so he simply squatted on the ground.
"Oh, it's been so long, and this doll is very hard. At this time, Luo Wencheng began to look at Li Laosan, and when he saw the end, he seemed to see something, and suddenly showed a smug smile, but Li Laosan didn't see it.
"When I came in just now, I passed by the ancestral hall, and I saw a new lamp lit inside, could it be that there is an old man in the family who has died?" Li Laosan asked suddenly.
"You don't have to worry about that. Luo Wencheng replied categorically.
Li Laosan was slightly embarrassed, and was thinking about how to answer Luo Wencheng's words, but the guest room opened with a "babble", and Mrs. Luo strode out of the door, shaking her head vigorously.
Seeing this, Li Laosan hurriedly got up from the ground, and then bent his legs and was about to kneel, but this time he also failed to kneel, but just pulled him back to the place where he was, and the person changed from the old lady of the Luo family to his grandson Luo Wencheng. Li Laosan turned his head, and the latter shook his head lightly at him.
"It is said that you are a miracle doctor who specializes in treating incurable diseases, you must save our family Sanqing, as long as you can cure our family Sanqing, I Li Laosan will not be kind in this life, and I will definitely pay it back in the next life for you to make cattle and horses!"
"If there is a disease, of course I can cure it, but if your child is not sick, I really can't do anything. Old Lady Luo shook her head again as she spoke.
"You're not sick, this, how is this possible! You're always merciful, and you're taking a closer look!" Li Laosan felt incredulous, his head buzzed, and it went blank.
"Not sick?" Listening to the old lady's words, Luo Wencheng, who had nothing to do with himself, was also surprised, but even if it was unbelievable, as long as it came from the mouth of his grandfather, who had been strict and cautious all his life, then this must be true.
"This child is really not sick, I have saved people all my life, there is no reason and no need not to save such a little doll. Old lady Luo shook his head and sighed.
At this time, Li Laosan was even more at a loss, and his mouth was full of muttering: "Impossible, impossible, this is the guidance of the old fairy." He began to recall the old Taoist priest in the dream, but he couldn't remember his face, only that he was leading the dog that had been blind for a day.
"Old Immortal?" Looking at Li Laosan who was talking to himself, Old Lady Luo seemed to think of something, so he stared at Li Laosan with wide eyes.
Seeing that Mrs. Luo suddenly asked, Li Laosan calmed down a little, and then told Mrs. Luo about the old Taoist priest who led the dog in his dream.
"The old Taoist priest who leads the dog!" For some reason, Old Lady Luo was shocked when he heard Li Laosan, as if he had heard something extremely terrible.
"What? Do you know that old Taoist priest?" Li Laosan hurriedly asked when he saw this.
"No, I don't know, but I think of a man who might be able to save your son. ”
Old Lady Luo suddenly became stumped, obviously hiding something, Li Laosan originally wanted to ask, but as soon as he heard that someone could save Sanqing, he didn't dig deeper, but begged Old Lady Luo again and again to show him a clear way.
"The only one who can save your doll is the old Liu Tou in the City God Temple!" Old Lady Luo didn't sell Guan Zi, and said straight to the point.
