Chapter 58: Ready
"Yo, the straw man!"
Luo Tian didn't need to look back, just listening to the voice, he knew that it must be Zheng Ying, that voice was really annoying.
"Oh? Walk carefully, be careful in the streets, and sit on again, it will be too unsightly. ”
Luo Tian's words made Zheng Ying's face flush all of a sudden, this is talking about sitting on by being scared by a chai knife yesterday, which is not justified at all.
Fang Miao laughed, she understood that Zheng Ying saw Luo Tian planting a straw man, and thought that she had found an opportunity to laugh, so she spoke up, but she didn't expect that Luo Tian would be blocked back with a word.
This is absolutely self-inflicted - this is called self-inflicted humiliation.
Noticing the smile on the corner of Fang Miao's mouth, Zheng Ying became even more embarrassed and said, "Do you want to use this straw man to cure diseases?" You can't really be selling plasters, are you?! Hahaha! It's ridiculous! ”
"Why not? The great man once said that no matter whether it is a black cat or a white cat, the one that can catch a mouse is a good cat, what does it matter if the grass man is not a grass man? ”
"Yo, and to quote the great man! The problem is, you cat can't catch mice at all! ”
Zheng Ying squinted at Luo Tian, "Are you comparing yourself to a great man?" ”
"I don't dare, but what's the point of you laughing at my straw man? My straw man is useless, so what's the use of your scientific instruments? How many days have you been here? Did you find out anything? Do you know how Oishimura's illness came about? ”
Luo Tian's words smashed into Zheng Ying like a cannonball, but he couldn't say a word: there was no way to answer Luo Tian's words.
"Good! Good! I'll see how you're going to use these straw men to cure the disease in Dashi Village!" ”
After holding back for a long time, Zheng Ying had to put down such a sentence and turned to leave.
Shaking his head, Fang Miao said, "Is there something wrong with this person's brain?" ”
Luo Tian understood what Fang Miao said was that Zheng Ying ate turtles every time, but he still came to smoke it, isn't this a problem with his brain?
"The man is an animal with the surname of male~, and he will be like this when he sees you."
Fang Miaoqiao's face flushed, of course she understood that this was indeed the case, but she would definitely not admit it, and said, "This has nothing to do with me." ”
Laughing, Luo Tian didn't dwell on this issue, but said, "Whatever!" I've always been a person who doesn't offend me, I don't offend anyone, people or offend me, I will offend people, no matter what Zheng Ying's kid is for, as long as he wants to make trouble with me, then I don't need to give him face - I must find trouble with him first. ”
"Hmm."
Fang Miao nodded lightly, she found that this was indeed the case, although she had not known Luo Tian for a long time, she found that the other party was indeed such a surname.
"Mr. Luo, ...... you are?"
Luo Tian looked back and found that this time it was not Zheng Ying, but Ruan Liren. For Ruan Liren, he is still quite respectful, after all, this is a well-known expert on infectious diseases in the country, in the SAR~ epidemic incident, this person has made a great contribution and saved countless people.
"Oh, I'm a straw man."
Ruan Liren's brows furrowed, of course he could see that Luo Tian was planting a straw man, he just didn't understand what Luo Tian's purpose was in doing this.
"You're going to use this to cure the people in the village?"
Nodding, Luo Tian said, "Yes, that's right, that's exactly the case." ”
"Does it really work?"
If it weren't for the positive expression on Luo Tian's face, Ruan Liren must have thought that Luo Tian was joking.
"It's useless or not, just try it and you'll know, it's not a bad thing anyway, is it? And there is nothing to lose. ”
Ruan Liren was stunned, he found that he was too persistent, Luo Tian was not wrong at all, this is exactly the case, no matter what method Luo Tian used, as long as he could cure the illness of the people in the village.
"Dr. Ruan, there are many phenomena in this world that we can't explain with science, don't you say?"
As a Western doctor, Ruan Liren's belief in life is, of course, science, but even if he believes in science, he has to admit the fact that there are too many things in the world that cannot be explained by science.
After being silent for a while, Ruan Liren nodded and said, "Yes, it is true. ”
Putting down a straw figure that had just been tied in his hand, Luo Tian said, "So, even if I can use my method to cure the people in the village, there is nothing strange about it, right?" As far as I know, scientists have always had a belief that there is no phenomenon or thing in this world that cannot be understood by science, but it is not yet known. From this point of view, even if you don't understand the methods I use, they are just not known to scientists like you for the time being. ”
Ruan Liren nodded heavily and said, "You are not wrong at all, no matter how strange and incredible the method you use, it is only because we don't know it for the time being, not because we can't know it." ”
"Mr. Luo, then I look forward to you showing your might."
After Ruan Liren left, Fang Miao raised a big finger at Luo Tian and whispered, "Powerful, it's too powerful!" I really can't imagine that you still have such ability, even a scholar-like figure like Ruan Liren agrees with your point of view. ”
"Hey, that's because I have a point!"
Luo Tian was not ashamed, and as he spoke, he grabbed another handful of straw at his feet and continued to tie up the straw man.
After the eighteen straw figures were tied, Luo Tian made torches from finger-thick branches and straw that had been prepared long ago, and then soaked them in buckets filled with butter to make torches.
The sky had slowly darkened, and not long after the sun had set, the vision had become very blurry, even if Luo Tian and Fang Miao were only less than a meter away from each other, they could no longer see each other's faces clearly.
"Finally ready!"
Luo Tian looked at the firewood knife, eighteen straw men, and thirty-six torches in front of him, and let out a long breath.
"So we can start now?"
When Fang Miao heard this, she immediately jumped up with excitement. She stayed by Luo Tian's side all day, watching Luo Tian boredly tie up the straw man and prepare torches, in order to wait for this moment.
"It's early, wait until twelve o'clock in the night."
"Why wait until then?"
Fang Miao didn't understand this time, twelve o'clock? Why do you have to be twelve?
"Twelve o'clock is the time when the yin qi is the heaviest, and it is also the time when the power of the curse of the hanging straw man is the strongest, and at that time, you can sweep away all the power of the curse."
Oishi Village's illness is due to a witchcraft curse, and to break this witchcraft, it is necessary to break it in a powerful way when it is at its strongest, so that it can solve the problem once and for all.
