Chapter 664: Drought Fish

Slowly, a black arm appeared deep in the waterhole, this arm looked like the kind that had been buried in the mound of the tomb for many years and had long since rotted, except that there were no insects on it, and the rest of the shape really looked like a zombie's hand. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The moment that hand came out, I shuddered. Jumping directly back, it is not a good kind to be able to appear in this black quagmire.

I bred my spirits and stared at the rotting arm, which from the position of my thumb was a right hand, and just as I thought it should be a whole person, the arm floated to the elbow and stopped, and then began to turn slowly.

When the palm of my arm was aimed at me, I was shocked that there was a human eyeball growing in the palm of this rotten arm.

I'm familiar with that eyeball, because human eyes are different from animal ones, such as cat's eyes, which can have large or small pupils, especially in the middle of the night. The pupil of the cat's eye can spread to 90% of the entire eyeball, so cats can also have strong vision in the dark, as long as there is a weak light source, they can see voles clearly.

But the human eye is different, although the pupil of the human eye will adjust with the change of the intensity of the light, but it is definitely not as good as that of animals, the change of human pupils is not obvious, and the eyeballs on the palm of the hand are definitely the human eyeballs. But when the eyes were fixed on me, they didn't do anything else. He just kept looking at me.

I didn't know what was going to happen, when suddenly there was a squeaky sound behind me, and when I looked back, I was shocked.

A green-haired monkey, crawling on the ground with its hands and feet, ran quickly into the mud, and then sat down next to the rotting black hand. And the black hand is like the owner of this monkey, gently touching the head of the green-haired monkey with the palm of his hand.

The green-haired monkey was very docile, and I was secretly frightened when I let that hand touch me, and at this moment I saw the shape of this monkey clearly, and I suddenly remembered a creature.

A creature that disappeared after the founding of the country.

Dry.

Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, there was a custom of fighting drought and fish. As long as there is a drought in some areas, there will inevitably be a reason, and then the witch or the god stick will start to calculate, but now they are said to be witch and god stick, it is because there are indeed a group of people pretending to be. I don't know how to pretend to understand.

When I was a child, I listened to my grandmother say that there are indeed such masters in the people, and they can accurately find the drought, for example, the drought, which can bring drought, or that the drought, will harm people, in fact, when I grew up, I also analyzed it from the examples, and from a scientific point of view, I probably think that the drought, but he is a real creature, not a ghost.

I think it's probably a monkey, but a monkey with some infectious disease, and my grandmother once told me a story about a drought in a mountain village. The trouble was very fierce, very powerful, and many people couldn't cure it, and finally a barefoot doctor who traveled all over the world came, but it just restrained this so-called drought.

Here's the thing, in that small mountain village, it can be said that there are mountains and rivers and good scenery, and the family is rich, because of the seclusion in the mountain village, isolated from the world, in the early years of the Republic of China, it did not affect anything, but the people in the village lived very comfortably.

At that time, the people in the village grew their own food, and they had food and drink anyway, except for when it was a little peaceful, they sent people out to buy some necessities such as salt, so the village has been living very well.

But one day, the youngest children in the village began to suffer from a strange disease, and the children who got this disease would have pimples on their bodies, and these pimples would be blue, and after a long time, they would burst pus, and they were very itchy, but they did not dare to scratch it, and if they were scratched, the pus would flow wherever the pimples would go.

The local doctor has never been out of the mountains all year round, at most he has a headache and brain fever, and other diseases are basically incurable, so he grabbed a lot of traditional Chinese medicine for the children in the village, and he did not get better after drinking it for several days.

After a while, the adults in the village gradually developed this kind of green bumps, which were blue at first and painful. After the pus is mature, it is light red and itchy. Gradually, the whole village contracted the disease.

Later, the people in the village said that when they were chopping firewood on the mountain, they had accidentally seen a green-haired monkey digging a honeycomb.

There are many kinds of droughts, some droughts come to drought, some droughts bring floods, some droughts bring diseases, and even some droughts can bring swords and soldiers, the so-called swords and soldiers are the meaning of war.

The witch organized a group of strong men in the village and began to search the mountains, and finally caught the green-haired monkey after ten days, and the witch ordered everyone to buckle a bowl on the monkey's head, which must be a porcelain bowl. And the bowl can't fall to the ground.

When the big guys heard this, they were all stupid. The monkey is the easiest to move, look at the appearance of this drought, it is obviously a green-haired monkey, get a porcelain bowl to buckle its head, can it be obedient? That's obviously not going to be.

In the end, they tied the green-haired monkey to a cross and immobilized its body, and then put the porcelain bowl on top of the fish's head.

The witch took a piece of hemp rope and began to beat the marshal, and with each beating, a green liquid flowed from the upside-down porcelain bowl, and the smell was so fishy that it is said that the people who smelled it vomited for three days.

The green-haired monkey, that is, the drought, did not bark, but the more the goddess whipped it, the more green liquid came out of the porcelain bowl, and finally the monkey died with his eyes open, but after his death, the crisis in the village broke out completely.

All the people who smelled that stench, their ears began to hurt, and the ears began to flow out of the blue liquid, which was also extremely fishy, where could the doctors at that time cure this disease, they had to grab a few pairs of traditional Chinese medicine decoction that usually treated, but no one could cure it, but the nostrils often flowed out of the blue snot, and the smell was also unpleasant.

When the physical condition of these people deteriorated day by day, and when the strong men in the village could not work in the fields, and even eating was about to become a problem, the old people in the village brought dry food and coiled to the outside of the mountains to ask for help.

At that time, many people were invited, and when they came to the village, they all set up a bureau to cheat money, and then disappeared without a trace, and the old people in the village were also desperate, and every family did not know what to do.

Later, there was a barefoot doctor who was more than half a hundred years old, and he was also poor in his own family, and he didn't dare to stay at home because of the wars and warlords, so he wandered around the world for his family, eating a bite if he had food, and starving if he didn't eat.

The barefoot doctor entered the village and wanted to ask for a bowl of water to drink, but he found that every household was lifeless, and when he entered the village, he learned that the people here were suffering from a strange disease, and then after asking the reason, he immediately gathered the whole village together and said that he could cure this disease.

There is a classic story called The Wolf Comes, in fact, the reason for this problem is very simple, that is, the word trust.

Everyone has been deceived once, okay, I still believe you. Deceived twice, I will believe you again. Deceived three times, sorry, even if you tell me the truth, I think it's a lie.

No one believed the barefoot doctor's words, so he took a young man up the mountain and asked the villagers where they were getting water to eat. Then the lad went all over the mountains with the barefoot doctor, who was a strange man, and in only half an hour cured the young man's illness.

Of course, it didn't get good immediately, but it took an afternoon to pick some strange weeds, boil them and give them to the young man to drink, and the poisonous bubbles immediately lessened a lot.

Only then did the people in the village believe it, and then they all stood up, to say that this strange man, when he was young, he was also a member of the gang, when there were many mountains, in the troubled times of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, everyone was in danger, who still cares about the life and death of the people? Often many green forest heroes occupy the mountains as kings, burning, killing and plundering, this person is not used to it, so he broke away from the incense hall, his own family is also poor, and there is no need to go home, so he wanders the rivers and lakes. The earth is handsome.

Later, I asked my grandmother: How did the master cure the villagers' diseases?
