Although he drank wine in the morning, he would get drunk all day, but Yang Xianmao was born a wine worm, and when he heard wine, he had no reason to refuse, so he smiled and said: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, since it's so arranged, let's go." ”

They went to the village house, where a banquet had already been set up. Several leaders of the Yiren army followed the beggar brother to accompany Yang Xianmao to drink.

Each person drank a jar, and it began to smoke a little. Full of wine and food, Yang Xianmao took Liu Dongyan to follow the beggar brother to wander around the villages.

Everywhere they went, the villagers warmly received them and brought out the best things in the house. Yang Xianmao found that in addition to mothers, daughters, and sons, these families had no daughters-in-law or fathers, only uncles, cousins, and cousins.

Yang Xianmao now understands that in the case of these Yi tribe marriages, the marriage is not stable in one family for a long time, but exists in the form of getting together at night and separating during the day. Some men and women are fixed, while others are not. After giving birth to a child, he was raised by the woman, and the man just shook his hand to take charge of the shopkeeper, which looked really strange, and couldn't help but remind him of the scene when Jimma urged him to leave at dawn, and wondered whether to go to Jima's house again at night.

Thinking of Jimma's fiery body, Yang Xianmao's blood couldn't help but boil for a while.

When they arrived at a village, they passed by a stilted building and heard weeping from the upper floor of the stilted building.

The beggar brother said to Yang Xianmao: "Something should have happened, let's go and see." ”

A few of them went up the stairs and knocked on the upstairs door. When the door opened, an old woman came out, recognized the beggar at once, and quickly stood aside in fear. While wiping away tears, he gave a salute to carry them into the house.

The beggar stepped in and saw a young man, probably in his early twenties, lying beside the fire. After asking, I learned that it was the son of the weeping old woman. About 10 days ago, I had a sudden headache, nausea and vomiting, and the vomiting has worsened in the last two days, and I can't eat or sleep.

Last night, he suddenly had a severe headache that he couldn't bear, and then he fell unconscious. Now that he was so angry, he invited the witch doctor to come and see it, saying that he had hit the evil and wanted to do something. The wizard had gone to get things ready. Because the patient was so sick, the whole family was crying. The son is the breadwinner of the family, and if he dies, the family will fall into poverty.

Yang Xianmao got into the fire shop and came to the patient, squatted down, took his wrist to check the pulse, pushed open the window and pinched his cheeks, looked at his tongue, pondered for a moment, and said, "I want to show this family feng shui, is it okay?"

The beggar nodded and said, "There is a chief of the road." ”

Yang Xianmao took out the small golden compass from his arms, measured the direction of the house at the staircase, then circled around the house, returned to the lobby, and put down the compass in the center of the house.

After reading it, he looked at the opposite mountain peak and said in a deep voice, "Do you see the mountain on the other side? There is a big tree, which grows very strangely, like a golden snake." The snake is facing this way, which is why it will make the family angry. This kind of evil is called the Golden Snake Evil!"

The beggar brother hurriedly asked, "Does this kind of money snake matter?"

"If you are hit by this kind of evil, the golden snake will plant snake eggs in the head, and if it is not treated in time, it will hatch a baby snake and swallow his brain, causing him to die. ”

When the old woman's two daughters heard this, they couldn't help but be very frightened, and looked at the beggar brother together. Because they didn't understand what the origin of this Han Taoist chief was, and when they said such things, they didn't participate in the moon banquet in the village where Jima was located, so they didn't know Yang Xianmao.

After the beggar introduced Yang Xianmao, several people suddenly realized and asked anxiously, "What should I do?"

Just then, I heard footsteps outside the house. A familiar voice said in a loud voice, "I'm here, are you ready?" ”

Then, the door creaked open, and the witch doctor mage that Yang Xianmao had seen before walked into the room, holding a wooden box and some magic weapons in his hand, he went to prepare magic weapons to prepare the practice.

Seeing Yang Xianmao, the wizard couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then looked at the beggar brother and said, "The leader is also here, are you here to give him a practice?" Then he turned to the old woman and said, "If you invite the Han Taoist chief to do it, then I have something to do? Then I'll go." ”

With that, the wizard turned and left. In a panic, the old woman hurriedly ran over and grabbed his hand and said, "Master, you must not go, you can save my son, and I am waiting for you to come." They weren't invited by me, but the leader overheard us crying and came up to ask what was going on. Don't be surprised. ”

The beggar brother frowned, and said to Yang Xianmao: "Dao Chief, look at this child's illness, what's going on with this golden snake?"

Yang Xianmao pointed to the strange pine tree on the opposite peak, and said: "That tree is like a golden snake, and its head is facing your cottage, swaying in the wind, swaying around, like a snake's head swaying everywhere, so there may be people in the nearby villages who have fallen for this golden snake." Yesterday I was with Jima at the bottom of the mountain by the water, and I saw Shama's dead sister. When I asked about the onset of the disease, it was almost the same as the current patient. I suspect that Shama's sister is also a golden snake. Therefore, the wizard's approach is only afraid that it cannot be stopped. If you don't believe me, you can ask the wizard how many such patients he has treated. I'm afraid that none of the people who have gone through his methods will survive, and most of them are already dead, and the death should be the same as Shama's sister. ”

The beggar couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at the wizard, and said in a deep voice: "Mage, may I ask a patient like this, how many methods do you have to exorcise evil spirits?"

The wizard was a little embarrassed, and said, "There are about a dozen." ”

"How many people died after you did it?"

The wizard was embarrassed and whispered, "As far as I know, none of them survived." It seems that this evil is very powerful. My spells can't restrain him, and I can only do my best, and they are begging me. ”

The beggar raised his eyebrows and said, "If you encounter this kind of disease in the future, report it to me quickly, and ask Yiwen Daoist to do something." - Alright, you can go back. This side will be handled by the Taoist chief. ”

The wizard agreed, bowed his head, turned and went downstairs.

The beggar brother said to Yang Xianmao: "Daoist Yiwen, please come and cast a spell to save it." ”

Yang Xianmao nodded and said, "I don't know if I can find the meerkat ? I need a meerkat to live." ”

"No problem, I'll call the hunter to catch it right away. There are quite a few on the mountain, and if you're lucky, you should be able to catch them quickly. What does the Taoist want to do with this?"

Yang Xianmao pointed to the strange pine tree on the lonely peak on the opposite mountain, and said, "That's the shape of the snake, the image of a golden snake, and the meerkat eats snakes." I need the blood of the mongoose to dip it in cinnabar and stick it on the door to stop this evil spirit. Then, I have to draw the evil qi out of his body, so I need the blood of the mongoose, and it must be alive, and you have to send someone to catch it quickly. ”

The beggar brother hurriedly agreed, and quickly ordered his men to send the best hunter in the tribe as soon as possible, and be sure to catch a mongoose as soon as possible.

Their cottage is surrounded by dense forests and many animals, and if several hunters go out in groups, it is not too difficult to catch a meerkat.

During this period, Yang Xianmao immediately prepared for surgery.

He carried the patient to the brightest room in the room, and opened all the windows, but did not allow anyone else to watch from the sidelines, so as not to be injured by the evil qi in his body, and this time, he did not call anyone else to watch, because the patient was a man, and there was no problem of avoiding suspicion.

He quickly set up the operating table, had the patient carried onto the operating table, and then removed from the box all the needed medicines and instruments, which had been sterilized beforehand.

He gave the young man the boiling powder and antibacterial and anti-inflammatory medicine to drink. By the time he was preparing, the hunters had already captured the mongoose, and it seemed that they were moving really fast. Yang Xianmao's hands had been cleaned and disinfected, and he couldn't waste any more time, so he asked the hunters to put the mongoose in a bamboo cage and put it downstairs.

He himself closed the door of the room and forbade anyone to approach, and he had to take out the evil qi from the patient's body, which was dangerous, and if others approached, they might be injured.

Yang Xianmao sat the patient on a chair and tied it to the chair with a cloth strap, which would reduce bleeding from the wound.

After making a straight incision in the midline of the posterior cranial fossa, cutting open the soft tissue behind the neck to expose the posterior atlantovertebral arch and exposing the skull, he drilled a hole with a bone drill to open the dura mater from behind the ear, fully exposing the vermis of the cerebellum and the cisterna magnum.

After the dura mater was cut, he saw that the citrusal cisterna arachnoid membrane had lost its luster and thickened, and the cerebellar tonsils had herniation of varying degrees. Cutting open the arachnoid membrane of the cisterna magnum and pulling open the cerebellar tonsils, a white sac, translucent oval, fills the entire median foramen.

The sac is wrapped in a strange kind of bug, the head segment is round, there are four suction cups and a protrusion, and there are two small hooks on the protrusion, which really makes people's scalp tingle to look at.

The reason why Yang Xianmao judged that there were insects in this part of the patient was from the record of Hua Tuo's "Green Capsule Sutra", and he made a judgment from the patient's condition, but he had never encountered such a case before, and he had never seen such a worm grow in a person's head. The sight of the terrible bug scared him.

He carefully used scissors to cut the adhesion near the median hole and enlarge the median hole. The insects inside are more clearly exposed, and the round eggs are like grapes, and if these eggs are taken out directly, there is a risk that they will break and contaminate the head, and new insects will grow. So, after taking out the syringe and pricking it, he sucked out the liquid from the worm first, and then removed it one by one.

After these are removed, the sherbet rinses the surgical site with saline to prevent the fluid from the missed eggs from contaminating the brain tissue and growing new worms.

When he was sure that the cleaning was complete, he placed an external drain, sutured the dura mater tightly, and the soft tissue layers corresponded neatly, intermittently sutured, and the operation was closed.

Yang Xianmao has been paying attention to the patient's vital signs during the operation, and found that the signs are stable, which is a sigh of relief.

Yang Xianmao carried the terrible bunch of grape-like eggs in a small tray, went out of the door, called the patient's mother and the leader of the beggar brothers, and others, pointed to them, and said, "This is the snake egg laid by the golden snake in the patient's head." This thing can grow up very quickly, and it will eat away at people's brains and make people go crazy and die. I'm glad I met him, otherwise, he would have died. ”。

When everyone looked at the egg, they couldn't help but gasp, and his mother was blindfolded and didn't dare to look at it more. However, his two sisters looked very attentive and blinked, very surprised.
