The car drove slowly, Xiaoqing lay on the back seat and didn't speak, only the sound of slight breathing fluctuations came into Xu Xiaobai's ears from time to time. www.biquge.info In order to prevent herself from seeing the wrong wound and causing a tragedy, Xu Xiaobai talked to Xiaoqing from time to time, as long as she responded loudly, it proved that her consciousness was still sober, and even if she was poisoned, it was definitely not deep.

"Do you still hurt?"

"Hmmm......"

"The hospital is still half an hour away, you hold on."

"Hmmm......"

"That snake should not be poisonous, this is not a barren mountain range, and there are few poisonous snakes."

"Hmmm......"

"When we arrived at the hospital, we went straight to the emergency department, and the doctor took a look at us and we were relieved."

"Hmmm......"

Xu Xiaobai listened to Xiaoqing's monotonous answer, and said in his heart that this kid was afraid that he was frightened by the snake, and he couldn't speak, only um. Xu Xiaobai is nearly thirty years old, although Xiaoqing doesn't know how old she is, but looking at her appearance, it is estimated that she is only twenty-one or twelve years old, she was still ignorant on the college campus at that age, this child is already in the dust, but after all, he is young, and he is frightened when he encounters this kind of thing, his heart is tight, and he secretly said Could it be that this child was scared out of his soul?

According to folk legends, people have three souls and seven spirits, and when children are young, their souls have not yet fully grown up, and once they are frightened, they are easy to lose their souls. Such as sudden loud noises or other anomalous phenomena, man-made intimidation pranks, lightning and thunder in storms; Sudden blows, beating or verbally abused by parents after doing something wrong; Accidental chase or bite by certain animals can cause this abnormal state. After being frightened, most children show listlessness and lack of appetite; Some have restless nights, insomnia, dreams, or babbling; Some screamed and cried. However, when people grow up, their souls have fully developed, and this kind of thing is rare, but occasionally adults are frightened, showing symptoms of anxiety, irritability, and insomnia, and loss of soul, and moodiness. Right now, Xu Xiaobai feels that this Xiaoqing is demented, isn't it also scared away?

If this is really the case, then in addition to treating the wound, she must also be cured of this soul disease, otherwise if she is demented, how can she accompany herself to find snow ginseng? Western medicine treats this disease as neurasthenia, and the drugs prescribed are all to nourish the nerves and calm the nerves, but it is said that the effect is not good. Traditional Chinese medicine uses tranquilizing decoction, which is also full of soothing Chinese herbal medicines, which are said to be more effective, but not necessarily better. Folklore is really useful for a ritual called "soul calling", presumably a feudal superstition, but it is well-known and popular in most parts of the north, and the specific operation varies, but the general process is generally as follows:

Let the person who has lost his soul, such as a child, lie down in bed, and while he is awake, let his loved ones, usually his mother, whisper to the side: "Is the baby's soul coming?" The goddess or goddess of the village was at the door of the hall, put a bowl of water in the great sun, and responded to the bowl of water: "Here it is." The mother asked again, "Has the baby's soul come?" The goddess or the god man replied: "Here it is." This is repeated until a bright spot in the water (which may actually be the refraction of the sun) slowly approaches the center from the edge of the bowl (perhaps caused by the angle of the bowl bearer), and when the point of light reaches the center of the water, the soul is called, and the goddess will cry out, "The soul is coming!" At this time, the child's father dipped the high-purity liquor in his hands, lit the flame, and shook it on the child's head and shoulders on both sides, implying that the child's samadhi fire would be rekindled, and the child's soul would return. It is said that this method is very effective, and no one has been able to say why it is scientific until now. Xu Xiaobai grew up in the countryside when he was a child, so he had an impression of this soul-calling ritual.

He couldn't help but have a sad face, if Xiaoqing was really scared out of her soul, the goddess was easy to find, but where did he go to find someone close to her? Brother Dali is lying in the hospital, and her parents don't know where they are......

Xiaoqing responded to Xu Xiaobai's words without a match, and said in her heart This person usually doesn't talk much, why is it so noisy at this time, I don't know if I'm embarrassed, can't I quietly let everyone stay for a while to relieve the atmosphere......

With their own thoughts, the two finally arrived at the nearest hospital. This hospital is a very small hospital, probably not even a second-class hospital, but a second-class hospital, Xu Xiaobai is very worried about whether there will be a doctor here who can see snake wounds. After hanging up the emergency number, he immediately went to the consultation room, and saw that he was a spirited old man, who was over seventy years old, Xu Xiaobai was a little relieved, even if this person's medical skills were not high, he should always have a lot of experience.

The old man put on his reading glasses tremblingly and said to Xu Xiaobai: "What kind of illness are you seeing?" ”

Xu Xiaobai embarrassedly let go of his body and let Xiaoqing in front: "She was bitten by a snake." ”

The old man raised his eyebrows: "Oh? At a young age, he recruited cats and dogs, and was bitten by a long worm. Naughty is not. How long ago did you bite it? ”

"Half an hour ago."

"Are you uncomfortable?"

"It hurts, no other symptoms."

The old man sighed and said, "Then what's there to worry about, it's not poisonous, don't worry." ”

Xu Xiaobai's eyebrows furrowed: "You won't show it?" ”

Only then did the old man stand up: "Just take a look." Saying that, he asked Xiaoqing to lie down, closed the white cloth curtain, and said to Xu Xiaobai in a sullen voice: "Go out and stay for a while." ”

Xu Xiaobai said in his heart that this old man is unreliable, how can he feel so unreliable. But still obediently went out. The management of the hospital in the small place is not standardized, and he didn't see the sign prohibiting smoking, so he lit a cigarette in a ventilated place, and the nurses around him saw it, but no one cared about it.

After more than ten minutes, the white cloth curtain was lifted, Xiaoqing limped out, the old man sat down to prescribe medicine, the handwriting of the dragon flying and phoenix dance was more difficult to recognize than the oracle bone inscription, and then threw it to Xu Xiaobai: "Go and grab the medicine, the internal and external application are all written clearly, if you don't understand, come and ask me again, don't worry, it's okay." ”

Xu Xiaobai accompanied Xiaoqing to the window of grabbing the medicine, took the medicine, and saw that it was all anti-inflammatory and hemostasis, and the heart should be fine, so he took Xiaoqing out with confidence. As soon as he walked to the door, Xiaoqing, who was originally silent, suddenly burst out.

Xu Xiaobai looked at her curiously and asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Xiao Qing looked at him with crooked eyebrows, and her words were a little narrow: "The old gentleman said just now, I can't see that your boyfriend is five big and three thick, this wound is really well bandaged, very professional!" ”

Xu Xiaobai was slightly stunned, then laughed and said, "The three-fold humerus becomes a good doctor, and it is me who is talking about." ”

This time, Xiaoqing was stunned, and it wasn't until the two got into the car that she asked a little embarrassedly, "What do you mean by what you just said?" ”

Xu Xiaobai snorted and said with a smile: "That is, if a person breaks a bone three times, he will be cured of the fracture." The meaning of a long illness becomes a good doctor. ”

"Oh, you're so learned." Xiaoqing stuck out her tongue and said in her heart, Is this man really a soldier, a soldier wouldn't say such a thing.

The car started again, in order to avoid bumps to Xiaoqing's wounds, Xu Xiaobai still drove relatively slowly, until he got out of the small county town and got on the national highway, Xiaoqing took the initiative to let Xu Xiaobai drive faster, don't delay the matter of finding snow ginseng, Xu Xiaobai then increased his horsepower and continued to go north.

In the evening, when the two arrived in CC City, it was already dark, and the lights on the road were on. Xu Xiaobai was worried about Xiaoqing's injury, so he didn't dare to continue his journey, so he drove into the city, and the two found a place to stay. Still found a fast hotel, Xu Xiaobai is not particular about accommodation, he can sleep as long as he has a bed, Xiaoqing doesn't care, she hasn't slept anywhere over the years.

opened two single rooms, the two tidied up, Xiaoqing went to the room to change the medicine, and the two went out to find a nearby restaurant to eat, Xiaoqing was injured, and the doctor didn't let her eat hair, so she could only pick up some light food. Xu Xiaobai was driving again this day, and he was fighting long worms, and he really felt a little hungry, so he ate two famous dishes in the Northeast under Xiaoqing's recommendation: pork stewed vermicelli, chicken stewed mushrooms.

These two dishes are so well-known that they are more popular than the pig-killing dish and the pot-wrapped meat. The pork is a domestic pig transported from the store's hometown, fed with bran and bud, the pork belly is fat and lean, and the stew melts in the mouth, Xu Xiaobai never thought that pork would be so delicious. As for the vermicelli, it is a wide noodle made by the people, and after absorbing the aroma of the pork, and the soup is infiltrated, the taste is even more delicious than pork.

As for the chicken stew with mushrooms, it is a must. Chicken mushroom stew is made with dried mushrooms, chicken and vermicelli. The best way to use wild hazelnut mushrooms for stewed chicken is the kind with a thin stem and a small umbrella, which can bring out the freshness of the chicken to the greatest extent and is worthy of the name of mountain delicacies. A simple dish can meet the nutritional principle of the modern diet of 'one meat, one vegetable, one mushroom'. There is a saying in the Northeast: "When my uncle leads me into the door, the chick scares his soul." That is to say, the new aunt went to the mother-in-law's house for the first time, and the mother-in-law must be entertained with chicken stewed hazelnut mushrooms, which shows the grandeur of this dish.

Xu Xiaobai ate heartily, and after eating a meal, his forehead was sweaty, and he was actually a little dry. He wiped his mouth, and saw that Xiaoqing was looking at him intently, estimating that this child was probably hungry, she had big fish and meat, she could only eat green vegetables and tofu, and she must be uncomfortable. So he put a pair of chopsticks and vermicelli into Xiaoqing's bowl: "Try the vermicelli, it's better than meat, this thing is fine, it won't hurt." ”

Xiaoqing didn't eat it, just looked at him, and said softly: "When I first met Brother Dali, he always took me down to the restaurant, his favorite food is pork stewed vermicelli, I always laugh at him, so eaten, so fat, it's not easy to find a daughter-in-law in the future." As he spoke, there was a misty look in his eyes, as if he had fallen into a distant and precious memory.
