Chapter Eighty-Five: Venting

"Miss Xu, thank you so much today." Widow Wang sat on the ox cart back to the village, remembering what had just happened, and couldn't help but be afraid for a while.

If she hadn't met Xu Lan, she would have been cheated of a large sum of money in a daze.

What's more, since that person is a liar, the so-called blessing bag must be of no use at all.

When the time came, the lotus's illness was delayed, but it was really a loss for the lady and a loss for the army.

"Aunt Wang, since we are from the same village, it is appropriate to help each other." Xu Lan consciously did a good deed, and she felt very happy in her heart, which made her happier than earning ten taels of silver.

"But, will the Great Immortal come to take revenge on you?" Widow Wang said worriedly, "When I saw him finally dragged away by the officials, his eyes were always on you, and he kept scolding things like 'White Tiger' and 'Demon Girl'. ”

She is a woman raising two children, and she relies on the word prudence.

Today, Xu Lan took back the silver for her and taught the liar a lesson, Widow Wang was happy and grateful to Xu Lan, but she couldn't help but think more.

"Don't be afraid." Xu Lan puffed up her chest, "He was originally a liar, and now that everyone knows about it, can he still label me as a 'demon girl'?" ”

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Liang Wei looked at Xu Lan, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, "I won't let that person hurt you." ”

"Thank you, Brother Liang." Xu Lan smiled slightly, her little face was a little red, like a fresh peach, and she looked very cute.

The widow Wang was a person who had come over, and when she saw the appearance of these two people, she couldn't help but smile on her face.

This Liang Gongzi looks at a talent, and Xu Yatou is also a good one, no matter how you look at these two people, they are very suitable.

When she arrived in the village, Xu Lan did not go home first, but went to the widow's house.

Lotus was lying on the bed sickly, and when she saw Xu Lan, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Lie down, don't get up." Xu Lan carefully examined her, but she frowned and asked, "Do you go to the back mountain every day to collect medicine?" How often do you go under that tree to look for medicinal herbs? ”

"yes." Lotus stared at Xu Lan, she admired Xu Lan's ability to understand herbs, and only thought that one day she could become a person like Xu Lan, "I will go to the mountains every day." ”

"Brother Liang, you go out first." Xu Lan turned her head and said, "It's inconvenient for you to stay here." ”

Liang Wei nodded slightly, immediately walked out, and closed the door with his hand.

Seeing Xu Lan's solemn appearance, Lotus was suddenly startled.

Widow Wang also asked worriedly, "What's wrong with my lotus?" Could it be some kind of disease? ”

Xu Lan shook her head and asked Lotus to take off her clothes.

Lotus has a lot of trust in Xu Lan, and immediately took off all her clothes, leaving only her belly pocket and close-fitting pants.

Xu Lan carefully examined the lotus flower, and finally found a small black spot on the inside of her calf.

"Aunt Wang, bring the oil lamp!" Xu Lan saw the little black dot and said hurriedly, "Find a little more lard." ”

The widow was startled, and she didn't know what these things were, but it was about the health of the lotus, so she immediately searched for them.

"Is it itchy here?" Xu Lan dipped her fingers in a little lard and gently smeared it near the black spot.

"It's not itchy." Lotus said, "I've been itchy since I was a child." ”

"Okay, wait a minute, if you feel itchy, don't move, and don't reach out to scratch it!" Xu Lan admonished.

She was still not at ease, so she called Peach Blossom to hold the lotus's hand beside her.

"Sister Xu, what's wrong with my sister?" Peach asked nervously.

"Bugs." Xu Lan said succinctly, "Fortunately, your sister didn't catch this worm, otherwise I wouldn't be able to save it now." ”

As she spoke, she plucked the hairpin from her head and used one end of the hairpin to bake it on an oil lamp.

Soon, the hairpin head became piping hot.

Xu Lan asked the widow Wang to hold the oil lamp on the side, and she continued to shine and slowly approached the little black spot with the hairpin head.

The next moment, the black dot that originally looked like a small mole moved.

The widow almost screamed when she saw it.

Xu Lan gestured to her and told her not to panic.

"It's so itchy!" Lotus suddenly screamed, "Sister Xu, my leg is itching to death." She couldn't help but twist her body, trying to scratch the itchy spot.

Peach Blossom immediately grabbed her hand and made her unable to move.

The widow also held the lamp with one hand and hugged the lotus flower with the other, telling her not to move.

"It's going to be right away, you have to hold back!" Xu Lan heated the hairpin head again, and this time the entire hairpin head was pasted on top of the black dot.

The black dot suddenly touched the hot object, first drilled into the flesh, and then felt that the hot object was gone, and it quickly drilled out.

Xu Lan immediately slapped down with the hairpin and slapped the black dot directly on the ground.

She quickly poked the hairpin head into the belly of the black spot.

The black dot writhed a few times, and was so hot that it twitched wildly.

"It's ...... Bugger! The widow watched as the black mole on her daughter's body turned into a worm and fell down, and the worm was so hideous that goosebumps came out of her body.

"It's a bloodthirsty bug." Xu Lan held the insect high and let the lotus and peach blossoms look at it.

The lotus flower was so frightened that her legs went limp, and she almost fell to the ground.

"This bug keeps burrowing into my legs?" Her face turned pale, and her voice began to tremble, "I, I didn't even notice." ”

"Don't be afraid, if this worm wants to burrow into your body, it will take at least half a year." Xu Lan wrapped the worm in a cloth after killing it, "I checked it just now, and you only have this one worm on you." ”

"It's not going to lay eggs on me, is it?" Lotus asked uneasily.

Xu Lan shook her head.

"This insect has to burrow into the human body to lay eggs, and now that it was discovered early, it has only broken a little skin."

Seeing the uneasy appearance of the lotus, Xu Lan checked her again with Widow Wang.

Xu Lan applied ointment to the wound of the lotus, gave her some pills, and told her to take them in the morning and evening.

"I don't dare to go to the back mountain again." The lotus queen said fearfully, "If it weren't for Sister Xu, you came to see it, I'm afraid I would have been sucked by this worm all the time." ”

"Don't be afraid, this bug is also extremely rare." Xu Lan also felt a little strange, "It stands to reason that this insect shouldn't have appeared in us, it's a bug that can only be found in the hot forest in the south." ”

The village is north, and if nothing else, the climate alone is different from where the bloodthirsty insects grow.

But even in the south, bloodthirsty insects are rare.

"The weather has been cold recently, and even if there is still this insect on the mountain, it will definitely freeze to death."

Xu Lan advised: "If you want to know the medicinal herbs, I will copy some for you, and you and Peach Blossom will recognize a few every day at home, which is faster than memorizing leisurely on the mountain." ”

"Thank you, Sister Xu!" The sisters' eyes lit up.
