Chapter 39: The Antidote
"Xia Shang, will you explain to me today's events?"
In the inner courtyard room, the eldest lady lit the incense burner while asking, and half-bowed her round plump buttocks to the old height, and an arc was as soft as water.
Xia Shang stood not far away and watched blankly......
"Xia Shang, what about you!"
"Uh-oh." Xia Shang came back to his senses, "What did I explain, eldest lady?" ”
"What can there be? Of course, what happened just now, is there any basis for what you said? And why do you advocate what yellow charms to sell? I'm not blaming you for making a mistake in making a profit, but I'm worried that if that method doesn't cure the second child, I'm afraid it will be even more troublesome in the future. ”
"That's it!" Xiaolian, who was folding the quilt in the back room, couldn't help but interject, "Take the salary of the Sai family with one hand, and earn the silver of other families with the other, so shameless." ”
"Little Lotus!" The eldest lady whispered.
There was no sound in the screen, and the eldest lady set her eyes on Xia Shang.
Xia Shang looked at the eldest lady and asked tentatively: "I wonder if Mrs. thinks that the second child is poisoned or evil?" ”
What do you mean by that? Could it be that this matter really has something to do with you? ”
"Madame wouldn't have told me if she knew the truth, would she?"
"Naturally! You all watched how the second child bullied me, if you made him look like this, it's too late for me to be grateful, how can I report it? ”
"Then I'm relieved." Xia Shang smiled, "Madam, you can rest assured that there will be no more trouble after today." Maybe the second family will be grateful to us because of this. ”
The eldest lady stood up straight and wondered, "You just believe that the yellow charm can make the second child heal?" ”
"Madam, that yellow talisman was just a random drawing I made. In fact, there are no masters at all, let alone any yellow talismans to exorcise evil spirits. Sai Lao Er is not evil, so the two hundred taels of silver are blackmailed to them. ”
"Isn't the second child evil?"
"How can there be ghosts and gods in the world? Sai Lao Er is clearly poisoned. ”
……
At this time, Sai Lao Er's house -
A piece of paper was burned, and two hundred taels of silver were exchanged for a little black ash. Sai Lao Er was lying on the hospital bed, looking at the little ashes on the table, and he couldn't give birth to any hope in his heart.
"Husband...... Madame, can just a little bit of black ash cure my illness? Will we be deceived by the boy? ”
"Sir! Don't talk nonsense, this method of asking God to ask questions is all sincerity and spirit, and the master's illness will definitely be cured. Besides, even if it doesn't work, we can still get the two hundred taels of silver back. Master, you can lie down in peace, I'll go and see if the licorice soup is ready. ”
After a short time, the decoction made of licorice was ready, and the yellow charm black ash was put into it, and the second child drank it in one gulp.
Then it's time to wait anxiously for the results.
To say that a yellow charm can cure the strange disease of the second child, none of the family believes it, but at this time, they can only hope for a miracle. However, this time a miracle really happened, not long after Sai Lao Er drank the decoction, Sai Lao Er felt a tumbling in his abdomen, followed by an earth-shattering series of farts, one after another, like a piano music with a low tone and frustration. Sai Lao Er never thought that farting could make him so pleasant, and before the fart stopped, he laughed in surprise first:
"Hahaha! Ventilated! Ventilated! Really ventilated! ”
Sai Lao Er didn't ventilate for two days in a row, and the turbid gas accumulated in the body had already deteriorated, and now the power of this stinky fart was really incomparable, instantly flushing everyone in the room outside. When he found out, even he blushed from the smell.
After a quarter of an hour, there was still the aftermath of Sai Er's fart in the room, and several subordinates covered their mouths and noses to help Sai Lao Er into the courtyard. The second lady stepped forward in surprise: "Master, how do you feel now?" ”
At this time, the solitude of the second child has been significantly reduced, and the complexion on his face seems to be a different person.
"Comfortable! It's finally comfortable! Sai Lao Er squinted his eyes and touched his stomach with one hand, which was very enjoyable.
It seems that the second child is really good.
The people breathed a sigh of relief, but the lady could not cry anymore.
"Madame! Thanks to you this time, if it weren't for you, my lord would have been really unlucky this time. ”
The second lady was still a little afraid, and wiped her tears with a handkerchief: "This time is really dangerous, if you don't happen to get that yellow talisman, our family is afraid that it will be ......."
"Huh?" Sai Lao Er suddenly became puzzled, "This is really weird!" I didn't expect that inconspicuous yellow charm to really have this miraculous effect. So, sir, am I really evil? But how could I fall for evil? Could it be that there is something unclean in the house? ”
"Why don't you find someone to cook a French style at home?"
"That's fine, just in case. I'm afraid I won't have so much luck next time. Ay! I have been choked by sins in the past two days, but I hate that quack doctor who has no cause and has received so much money from us. Settle accounts with him another day! ”
Speaking of the doctor who treated the disease, the second lady Sai also showed hatred: "Yes, you must not let him go easily this time!" Not to mention that the disease was not cured, but also wronged the sister-in-law, if it weren't for the cook in the sister-in-law's house...... Master, after this time, let's go and have a good rest with my sister-in-law and his cook. ”
As he was talking, someone outside the house came to report that the doctor who was treating the second child had come in a hurry.
"Hey! I haven't even gone to settle accounts with him, but the quack doctor actually took the initiative to send it to the door? Sai Lao Er gritted his teeth and walked out quickly.
I didn't take a few steps before I bumped into the doctor who came to me.
The doctor was happy and hurried, and he calmed down after seeing the second child.
The doctor was stunned for a long time, and after coming back to his senses, his tone was a little strange: "Second Master Sai, you ...... How did you get up? ”
"What? Don't you want me to get up? ”
"No, Second Master Sai's body is not easy to move around now. If you let the disease ......"
Halfway through speaking, the doctor found that there was something wrong with Sai Er, and said in shock: "Sai Erye, why do you look like this?" ”
"How did it get better, didn't it?" Sai Lao Er sneered, "Don't worry, this is not the credit of the medicine you prescribed." After receiving so much money from the old man, it is useless, what do you say to do now? ”
"I know, that's why I'm in such a hurry, isn't it? Tell me quickly, how is your illness healing? ”
The second lady of Sai on the side couldn't help it: "Quack! You still say it's sick? My lord is clearly evil, and he can get better today thanks to a yellow talisman to ward off evil spirits. ”
"Evil? Impossible, how can this be evil? It's obviously poisoned! ”
"You still want to quibble? Now that my lord is standing here in a dignified manner, do you still want to deceive people? ”
"Second Master Sai, there must be a misunderstanding in this! I've figured out the cause! The doctor swore and explained, "Listen to me first, I have consulted relevant classics in the past two days, and finally found a similar illness of Sai Erye in an ancient book. In addition, the second master told me that he had drunk a bowl of mung bean soup and an unknown braised pork at Saijia before. Herein lies the problem! It is recorded in the ancient book that if mung beans and dog meat are eaten together, toxins will be produced, and the symptoms are like Sai Erye. The unknown braised pork that Sai Er Ye said must be dog meat! It must be dissolved with licorice. You see, I've got you all the licorice. ”
With that, the doctor grabbed a handful of licorice from the casual package.
