This caused several women around the laundry sink to giggle. 2. A tall woman said, "Look, it's not her man who tosses him, it's her who tosses her man, otherwise how could her man catch a cold?"

Aunt Bao was a little curious, and said, "How do you know that her man has a cold?

This was obviously ambiguous, and the other women giggled again, and the tall woman took a sip and said, "Don't talk nonsense, when I came over with the laundry tub this morning, I saw her man on the road, and I saw him coughing like a shrimp on the side of the road, so I asked him what was wrong, and he said it was okay, but he was a little uncomfortable, and I said that you coughed like this, and I didn't go to find a Lang Zhong to take a look." ”

As soon as he said this, Aunt Bao interjected and said: "Their family still invites Lang Zhong, do you have the money? Besides, cough is not a big deal, just go to the mountains to pick some herbs and cook them, do you want to, my man knows some herbs, go back and call your man, and I will let the child's father pick it for you." ”

The little woman smiled and said, "Forget it, he hasn't been coughing for a day or two, I'm just because he coughs all the time, I can't sleep when I cough, my face is so ugly, why is he tossing me, he's sick like that, and can he toss me?"

As soon as they heard this, other people led the topic to coughing, some said that their uncle coughed, and some said that their old man coughed, anyway, they caught a lot of herbs and ate it was useless.

Aunt Bao listened to their discussions, so she pouted and said: "Now it's about to start winter, the cold is heavy, tell you men to pay attention, my man told me, this day is the most prone to autumn dryness and easy coughing, usually pay attention to the point should add clothes and clothes, don't be old and reckless." ”

A young woman in a plaid dress did not speak, but from time to time she covered her mouth with her hand, and then coughed softly twice, so soft that it was almost inaudible in their speech.

However, the woman in the plaid dress seemed to be forcibly holding her throat, and she stopped at the back, unable to wash her clothes, but bent over and covered her mouth with her hands.

Finally someone realized that something was wrong with her and asked her what was wrong? She still covered her mouth with her hands and coughed with her head down, looking very uncomfortable.

Although Aunt Bao's family economy is a little better, her speech is a little ugly, but she is a warm-hearted person, so she put down her clothes and walked over to pat her on the shoulder, bent down to look at her and said, "What's wrong with you?

The young woman looked up at her, covered her mouth with her hand, shook her head and didn't speak, and slowly put her hand down, but at the moment she let go, an irrepressible surge suddenly rushed to her throat, and she couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood, which was directly poured on Bao Erniang's body, and a small half was sprinkled in the clear spring water, splashing blood red.

This scared the women who were doing the laundry so much that they screamed.

Bao Erniang was also taken aback, and waited until she felt that the other party vomited blood. Shocked and disgusted, he quickly reached out and wiped the blood on his face, and said, "Oh, what's the matter with you? Ahh

She seemed to have just woken up from the shock, only to feel that the other party was vomiting blood, this time she was very shocked, and she didn't care about wiping the blood on her face, and reached out to help her.

The woman had bent down and began to cough violently, and with each cough of blood she spurted out a mouthful, spraying it on the bluestone slab in front of her and the whirlpool of clothes, and then sprinkled it in the clear water of the laundry pool, and instantly stained a small piece of water red.

An old woman was washing clothes at the other end, and she didn't talk to them before, but now when she saw this scene, she couldn't help but get angry, and said, "You really are, this is the place where you wash clothes, you see you have blood all over here, how can we wash clothes?"

The old woman is a servant of a landlord's family in the village, in fact, she is not a big landlord, but she has more land than Bao Erniang's family, so she hired a few maids, not to mention that their family can't eat meat at all, so Bao Erniang doesn't buy her account at all, and always feels that they are not better than her own family, so she glared at her, pointed at the old woman and said: "Do you have a conscience? You see that everyone is sick like this, sitting on the ground and vomiting blood, and you are still chirping there, could it be that you have not been sick?"

Several other women also glared at the old woman, and the old woman suddenly felt a little unreasonable, and hurriedly laughed: "Isn't it difficult for me to do it for everyone? This pool belongs to the whole village, what should I do if it is dirty, wash clothes, wash rice, and cook?"

The tall woman hurriedly brought a water ladle and scooped the blood-stained water out of the pool, and at this time, Bao Erniang helped the lattice woman who vomited blood to sit down to the side, and said, "The dog's family, I'll go and ask the dog to carry you." ”

The husband of the woman in the plaid coat, whose nickname is Gouzi, is a strong laborer in the village, and the dog's daughter-in-law obviously does not want her husband to worry, or has other scruples, but she still shook her head and said, "I'm fine, just rest." ”

Bao Erniang suddenly became angry and said: "You vomited blood and said it was okay, let me tell you, our man knows herbal medicine, vomiting blood like you is a serious illness, you can't joke, okay, you stay here, I will hurry up and call your man, if not, then ask my man to pull out some herbs for you, this kind of disease of vomiting blood must not be delayed." ”

So saying, she hurried to the village.

Soon the dog was called, his face was very pale, he walked with a float under his feet, to the pool, and saw his lady sitting on a stone, a large pool of blood in front of him, and blood hanging from the corners of his mouth, and he was coughing violently, and kept vomiting blood, but he was afraid that there were two large bowls of blood before and after, and his face was already white and terrifying.

But the dog didn't feel any surprise at all, but just squatted down and said, "me, can you get up and go?" ”

Bao Erniang was very surprised, and said: "She coughs like this, what's the use of you taking her home, hurry up and help her to my house, I'll ask my man to grab some herbs for her to eat." ”

Bao Erniang's husband is the only person in their village who knows some herbal medicine, their village is located in a remote mountainous area, there is no Lang Zhong in the depths of the jungle to come here, and from here to the county seat, you have to climb the slope and cross the ridge, at least half a day to arrive, so it is rare to go into the city to invite Lang Zhong to see, some minor diseases are generally found by the man of Bao Erniang's family to see.

After Bao Erniang said this, she thought that the dog would agree, but she didn't expect the dog to shake his head and say: "It's useless, we don't have any money, your man is too expensive to catch herbs, we can't afford to pay for it, this illness should be fine in a few days, this is what Master Shen said."

The reason why he was able to eat this piece of industry was that when he was young, he gave people a psychic and asked for gods, so he saved some money to buy these fields, and after middle age, he rarely gave people exorcism, he said that it would destroy the balance of heaven and earth and fold Yang Shou, and he didn't expect to make much money now, just live peacefully until he was old.

Although he doesn't do things outside, but the people in the village ask him, he still wants to be cured, this dog took his daughter-in-law to find Master Shen not long ago, and asked him to help see if the two of them have fallen into evil spirits? Compared to going to Lang Zhong to collect medicine, it is much cheaper to ask Shen Lao to see the meeting, and even don't want money, because this Shen is very generous and enthusiastic, if it is not for the need for some props and the like to make medicine, he generally does not collect money and fulfills his obligations, only says that the villagers and villagers, and does not want other people's money.

The sick people in the cottage are relatively less likely to find her husband to grab medicine, and most of the time they will go to the landlord Shen Yuanwai, Bao Erniang said: "Since you believe in his ghosts and gods and don't believe in my man's decoction, then so be it, when I didn't say it." ”

The dog supported his daughter-in-law and slowly got up and walked home, walked by the pool or nodded gratefully to Bao Erniang and the others and said thank you, thank them for taking care of their mother, especially seeing that Bao Erniang's body was stained with blood, presumably his own mother sprayed blood on others, very guilty, and smiled apologetically.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt a huge irrepressible cough instantly surging into his heart, coughing violently, and with each cough, a mouthful of blood spurted out and sprinkled on Bao Erniang who was standing next to him.

Bao Erniang couldn't imagine that the dog would be like this, and she couldn't dodge it, and her body was suddenly spilled with blood. A lot of blood was also spilled into the pool, slowly spreading in all directions.

After the blood entered the pond, it spread out with the churning pool, and slowly the blood was no longer visible.

Bao Erniangniang was angry and anxious, grabbed the placket of her clothes and kept patting the blood stains on her body, and squatted in the pool to wash her hands with the red red on her hands.

The other women looked helpless, because they couldn't help but let people wash their hands, and some women wanted to remind Bao Erniang to wash the bamboo sticking out of the pool below, but it was far away from here, and this Bao Erniang had a black face, and her temper was known to these women, so no one said.

Bao Erniang was very anxious, and said to the dog while washing her hands: "It turns out that you are also vomiting blood, what is wrong with the two of you? ”

The tall woman waved her hand and said: "According to me, I still have to ask a wizard to do it, I don't think this disease can be cured by the general Lang Zhong, it seems to be a bit like tuberculosis, I heard Master Shen once said that this kind of tuberculosis is the upper body of the hanging ghost, the neck is strangled by a rope, and the blood can't be spit out, so after he gets on the human body, people will cough desperately until the blood in the lungs is coughed out, so it is necessary to subdue demons and subdue demons, only wizards and Taoists can catch these hanging ghosts, and this disease can be cured, what can Lang Zhong do?"

The dog coughed for a long time before stopping, wiped a handful of blood from the corners of his mouth, and washed his hands by the pool, before he said to Bao Erniang: "I'm really sorry, I soiled you, or you take off your clothes and put them by the pool, and when my lady rests, she will help you wash." ”

When Bao Erniang heard him say this, she was originally angry and disappeared, waved her hand and said forget it: "Folks, I saw that you were both sick like this, and I didn't mean it, I'll wash it myself, your daughter-in-law is like that, I'm afraid I can't wash it, you quickly help her go home and lie down, I'll help her wash her clothes, and I'll send them to you after washing." ”
