Chapter 13
In the middle of the Li family's dilapidated thatched house, a pale-faced Mada cat lay on a broken straw mat with her eyes closed, and a rotten blanket covered her chest.
Li Maozai's sister, Li Fengmei, knelt on the ground, tightly grasping her aunt's calloused and gradually cold hands, and kept sobbing.
"Heavenly Spirit, Earth Spirit, Taishang Laojun will appear soon! The disciple holds a peach sword in his left hand and a copper bell in his right hand to drive away evil spirits, and then he manifests his spirits......"
Liao Daxian held a sword in one hand and a copper bell in the other hand to dance around the patient, chanting mantras while jumping, and shaking the bell in his hand, and the sword in his hand was also compared to the body of Ma Da Cat from time to time, very devoted.
"Stop, stop, stop...... The patients are dying, and you are still pretending to be a ghost here? Wei Shihao rushed into the house, unceremoniously pushed Liao Dashen, and leaned over to check the pulse of Mada Cat.
He went up to the mountains to pick herbs and sell them all the year round, knew many Langzhong, and knew a little about some medical skills.
Mada's pulse is very weak and the condition is critical!
"Oh, where did the demon come from? Mada Cat has been put on the body of a demon, why are you preventing me from exorcism? If there are serious consequences, can you afford it? Liao Dashen was taken aback at first, and after fixing his eyes on a young boy who came to make trouble, he shouted and reprimanded.
Abba of Li Maozai, who was already feeling desperate and squatting in the corner of the wall and smoking a dry cigarette, also immediately stood up and asked, "Dachau, what are you doing here?" Why did you stop Daxian from exorcism? ”
Li Fengmei had already collapsed, only caring about sadness and tears, everything that happened around her had almost nothing to do with her, and she didn't even bother to say hello to Wei Shihao.
"Uncle Li, what the hell are you driving away? Where are the ghosts in the world? My aunt has liver disease, and Liao Daxian also let her drink, doesn't this hurt my aunt? Wei Shihao said confidently.
Uncle Li, like most of the villagers, is an old superstitious believer and has always believed in ghosts and gods, but the more the ghosts rush to aggravate the patient's condition, which makes him feel very confused. At this time, he was speechless after Wei Shihao said this.
"This ...... Exorcism...... Isn't there no way, a dead horse is a live horse doctor? Uncle Li slapped the pipe in the palm of his other hand, and after cleaning up the ash, he said to Wei Shihao helplessly.
After Li Fengmei heard "a dead horse is a live horse doctor", she thought that her grandmother was not saved, and her crying became even louder.
"What do you know? Which disease in this world is not caused by ghosts and gods? Only by driving the demons away can this disease be cured! If you still make trouble here and provoke my Heavenly Master, the consequences will be very serious, do you know? Liao Daxian still insisted on driving out ghosts first and then curing diseases, and used a false heavenly master to scare Wei Shihao.
"If you continue to chase out ghosts, and something goes wrong, can you be responsible?" Wei Shihao did not show weakness.
"This ......" Liao Banxian was stuffed with these words, and after a pause, he said: "The ghost chaser is to govern the stage (referring to the underworld), and Lang Zhong is to govern the platform (the yang world), how can this responsibility be carried by the immortals?" Little brother, are you joking? ”
"Since you can't afford to take responsibility, go to the side and cool off. Wait for Lang Zhong to come and save my aunt, if Uncle Li asks you to drive out the ghosts, you can rush again, don't hinder me from saving people here. Wei Shihao said.
"Langzhong? I don't have the money to hire Lang Zhong? Uncle Li said in surprise.
"Uncle, don't worry! I've asked the cat boy to invite Langzhong, and I've paid the money, so I guess I should rush to the village at this time. Wei Shihao said.
"Ouch, you are my Li family's great benefactor! Please accept me......" Uncle Li wanted to invite Langzhong a long time ago, but because he didn't have the money to invite, he pinned all his hopes on Daxian. Hearing that Wei Shihao paid for the cat boy to invite Langzhong, he was so excited that he immediately wanted to kneel down and be grateful, but was stopped by Wei Shihao.
"Brother, is what you said true? My brother went to invite Langzhong? Li Fengmei stopped crying and raised her head in surprise and asked.
After getting Wei Shihao's affirmative answer, Li Fengmei grabbed her grandmother's hand tightly and cried again, but this time she cried happily.
"Grandma, we're saved. Brother Dahao, let my brother go and invite Langzhong, you hold on, it's good that Langzhong is here. Li Fengmei said excitedly.
Liao Daxian was asked to stop driving out ghosts, and he was very unconvinced, he thought to himself: "People are almost gone, I Liao Daxian can't do anything, what can I do if I invite Lang Zhong?" I want to see if Lang Zhong is powerful, or I'm Liao Daxian. ”
Liao Daxian thought to himself, so he put away his tools unconvinced, retreated to the wall and sat cross-legged. He was waiting to see the excitement, and by the way, he was not able to heal, and by the way, he took over the funeral business.
Although Master Tusi forbade the civilians in the jurisdiction to go to private schools to read and write, in order to achieve the effect of enslaving the people, Wei Darttou took the opportunity of going out to escort the darts and sent Wei Shihao to Liuzhou to attend a private school for a period of time. Wei Shihao had read some medical books and knew a little about medical knowledge, so he instructed Li Fengmei to boil hot water and wait for Lang Zhong's arrival.
After Lang Zhong arrived, after taking the pulse, putting a hot towel on Mada Cat, and pricking acupuncture, and feeding the medicine, she slowly woke up.
After Ma Da Mao turned the corner, Uncle Li, Li Maozai, Li Fengmei and Wei Shihao were all very happy, only the old face of Liao Dashen, who was sitting by the wall, was gloomy.
While everyone was happy, Liao Daxian didn't even dare to ask for money, so he secretly took the things and walked away.
Lang Zhong told Uncle Li: "After the mother cat drank alcohol, her condition worsened, and she passed out in a coma for a while, which was very critical. If I had come half an hour late, the consequences would have been unimaginable. I'm going to prescribe two courses of medicine for her to take on time, and she'll be fine in about four courses. ”
After listening to Lang Zhong's words, Li Maozai's family was very grateful to Wei Shihao, if he didn't come today, he would die.
After gratitude, Uncle Li asked Lang Zhong with a sad face: "How much does it cost to pay for four courses of medicine?" ”
"The patient's condition is relatively serious, and the drugs I prescribe are all expensive, which cost five taels of silver." Lang Zhong said.
"Huh? Five taels ......" Uncle Li was dumbfounded.
The total annual income of their whole family is less than five taels of silver, what should they do?
"Hehe, Lao Li, don't pretend to be poor with me, your son has already paid all the medical bills. Okay, without further ado, I have to rush to the Qianyuan village to see the patient! After Lang Zhong finished speaking, he hurried out of the house.
Uncle Li was very puzzled and asked Li Maozai: "Five taels of silver, where did you get five taels of silver?" ”
"How can I have so much money? It was given by Brother Dahaul. Li Maozi said, took out a few more ingots of silver and said: "There are still five taels here, he said let me repair the house, otherwise...... Otherwise...... Second Sister Wei may not marry me......"
Li Maozai said and spoke, his slender face was already red with shyness. Everyone in the village knows that Li Maozai is in love with Wei Ermei, but the two have not yet reached the time of marriage.
"And five taels? You cheeky cat, Second Sister Wei hasn't passed the door yet! Are you embarrassed to take other people's money? With so much money, how will you pay it back in the future? Uncle Li was surprised and delighted, and grabbed Catboy Li's ears and gave him an education.
Li Fengmei was squatting on the ground feeding gruel to her grandmother, listening to the conversation between the two, and couldn't help but smile secretly. Mada Cat laughed too, and laughed so happily.
Li Maozai said again: "My brother said that he earned this money, and he doesn't have to pay it back, this is called blessing and hardship!" However, I will keep an account for him first, and when I have money later, I will slowly pay him back. ”
"Oh, that's pretty much it. Where did Dachau go to make so much money? Uncle Li said, suddenly remembered that the two of them only cared about talking, but did not take into account Wei Shihao, he swept around the room, and did not see Wei Shihao's figure, so he asked, "Where is Dahao?" Where did he go? ”
"No need to look for it, he said he would go back beforehand." Li Maozai said.
