Chapter 4: This isn't a fucking human
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, I suddenly couldn't sit still.
I was shocked that my grandfather was like a god, and I already knew that someone from Gejia Village would come to me, and I was even more shocked that this Gejia Village was not from the surrounding neighboring villages!
If Gejia Village is in the villages around us, it's fine, but it's in another province, more than 1,000 kilometers in between, how did they find me?
Moreover, the symptoms of these two people are very tricky, if one of them is not good, even my life will be involved, but since my grandfather has already told me to wait for them, then there must be a purpose for grandpa, so I have to do what he says anyway.
The middle-aged man saw that I didn't speak for a long time, and said apologetically: "I heard that little brother, you cured the strange illness of the Yang family's daughter-in-law, so we rushed over to visit, I'm really sorry, if it's inconvenient for you today, then we'll come here another day." ”
As he spoke, the middle-aged man pulled his son and prepared to get up and leave.
I hurriedly called out to them, "It's okay, you sit down first, I'll make you a cup of tea." ”
I dragged my stiff legs into the kitchen, and in the process of making tea, I still had a bit of a fluke, maybe I guessed the symptoms wrong.
But when I brought the tea out and put it on the table, the next scene made my heart sink to the bottom.
I saw the middle-aged man pick up the teacup, and then sent it to his mouth and poured a big sip!
You must know that this is freshly brewed tea, and it is still steaming hot, and it is very unusual for ordinary people to feel the wall of the cup without burning their hands, and this middle-aged man actually drank more than half of the hot tea!
I held back the panic in my heart and asked, "I don't know how you found me, uncle?" ”
The middle-aged man's face was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he explained embarrassedly: "Our father and son came to your Sanmen County to do business, and overheard that the little brother cured the strange illness of the Yang family's daughter-in-law, so we inquired all the way here, and wanted to ask the little brother to show us too." ”
I listened, frowning, the man was clearly lying.
Whoever does business, who runs so far in business, although there are others, but his two bodies are sick, and his family will naturally not let them come to such a far place.
I'm sure this man is lying!
But I didn't want to expose his lies, so I nodded, and continued to ask:
"I don't know how long you've been sick, uncle, it's best to give me an accurate time, and tell me how you got sick, I'll see if I have any way here, after all, it's impossible for me to know what kind of disease you're suffering from at a glance, let alone how to treat it."
Actually, from the time I saw the middle-aged man's black eyes, I knew what was going on with the symptoms of their father and son, and the reason why I asked like this.
I want to make sure when they started these symptoms, if it's within a month I might still have a way, but if it's more than two months, then even I'm going to die!
The middle-aged man nodded, expressing understanding, he glanced at his son, sighed and said: "I am a person buried in loess to my waist, it doesn't matter if I am blind, but it is a bitter thing for my child, forget it, don't talk about it."
This matter still has to start from 20 days ago, that day I didn't see Uncle Zhang next door out of the house from morning to night, I was a little worried, after all, the old man is old, you know, I went to their house to find him after dinner, knocked on the door for more than ten minutes, and no one came to open the door.
Uncle Wang is over 90 years old, no wife and no daughter, I guessed that something must have happened, went home and called my wife to come over and bang on the door together, five minutes later, I rushed to Uncle Wang's house, and I still can't forget the scene I saw in front of me.
Uncle Wang's corpse fell to the ground, his body seemed to have been eaten by something, there were many small holes in the corpse, large and small, and there were only some bones left below the waist.
And it smelled weird, just like the charred dead animals.
You may not believe it, the day before the accident, he also came to our house, the whole person was very energetic, and he also drank several cups of sweet potato roast, I didn't expect that something like that would happen, although the village chief did not let the people of our village talk nonsense, but the people in the village said that Uncle Wang was killed by ghosts, otherwise which normal person would be eaten off the lower half of his body for no reason? ”
The middle-aged man seemed to recall the scene of that night, and he was only shivering with fright, and I added some hot water to his cup and told him to rest for a while.
Watching him pick up the cup and take another big sip, although I was still a little worried, I was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, as long as the time was within a month, it would be fine.
He drank the water in the cup, licked his lips, as if he still wanted to drink, he put the cup on the table, I thought he would say that he was bringing him a glass of water, but he was slightly embarrassed and said: "I walked some mountain roads today, and I was a little thirsty, but I was already full after drinking two glasses, so don't bother the little brother." ”
It was clear that he was lying again.
As long as you have that kind of worm on your body, you will be very thirsty, and it is impossible to satisfy it with two glasses of water.
If it is the initial symptom, for the first month, you should drink at least ten times the amount of the average person every day.
But I didn't debunk it, maybe the middle-aged man deliberately didn't want me to see that he was unusual.
However, I wondered why the young man didn't want to drink water at all, which was strange.
Suddenly, a bold guess flashed through my mind, could it be that what these two people said from the beginning was false, including the most important time of illness!
The middle-aged man interrupted my thoughts, "But if you want to talk about the strange symptoms of our father and son, it is because the next night, according to our local customs, people must stay at home to keep a night in the mourning hall after death.
At the beginning, everything was still very normal, and then it should have been when I was in the child, when I and Er Fat were a little sleepy, and began to be confused, out of nowhere suddenly a black cat burst out, and ran straight from under Uncle Wang's coffin, when I and Er Fat were immediately scared and trembled, the old man often said, the cat drilled the bottom of the coffin, and the dead body turned stiff!
At that time, a sudden gust of wind blew into the mourning hall, and the second fat and I were so frightened that we sat on the ground, thinking that this time it was over, it must be Uncle Wang who was killed by a ghost, and the grievance was not gone, and he turned into a ghost and came out to ask for his life!
But after waiting for a few minutes, there was no movement in the coffin, we thought it was okay, so we got up and prepared to take a closer look at the coffin to see if there was anything unusual, but at this moment, the second fat suddenly pointed to the bottom of the coffin and said that there were insects.
I looked down, a dense patch, and those insects are still pouring out, as long as they have touched something, they will disappear, it should have been eaten by them, when I reacted with Erfat, those insects have surrounded us.
I thought to myself, the worms were about to crawl on top of us, and my wife came over with a pot of hot water, and she threw it at the bugs, and the hot water scared them away.
However, at that time, I saw a bug burrow into my arm, and I also asked Erfat, and he also said that a bug also got into his body, and I thought it was okay.
But I didn't expect that maybe the symptoms of me and Erfat were caused by those two bugs. ”
After listening to all the words of the middle-aged man, although I still have some doubts in my heart, I can confirm one thing, the worms on these two people are 'dead worms'!
Dead insects, unlike insects in the sense of meaning, are a kind of insect called 'psyllid' that burrows into the body of the deceased (a person who has accumulated a lot of resentment in the body of the deceased), and then bites and eats the flesh of the deceased, and then becomes a dead worm, a creature that has neither the insect world nor the human world.
As long as you let this worm burrow into your body and don't drive them out within a month, you will definitely die!
But fortunately, now is the best situation, these two dead insects in the human body only exist for a month, which is a blessing in misfortune.
I nodded, indicating that I knew, and asked again, "Can I take a look at the arms of both of you?" ”
Hearing that they wanted to look at their arms, the two of them were obviously stunned for a moment, and when they saw my frowning brows, the middle-aged man quickly nodded and said, "Of course you can." ”
Dead insects burrow into the human body, and at first the organs of the human body will have obvious symptoms of death, just like the father and son, blind and deaf, and some will have different problems in all aspects of the nose and mouth.
Although the father and son have said many times that problems occur within a month, I still want to be cautious.
Of course, I also noticed some loopholes in the middle-aged man's speech, dead insects are not afraid of hot water at all!
I have to know how long the dead worms have been in their bodies, but I don't fully believe what they're saying, then I can also choose to observe their arms.
If it's really within a month, their arms will turn purple-black with tiny red spots on them.
If it is more than two months, the spots on the arm will turn into sarcomas, and the longer the time, the bigger the sarcoma will be!
The middle-aged man rolled up his sleeves, and I saw what was happening on his arm, just a few tiny red spots, consistent with the symptoms of a month's time.
I turned to look at the young man, trying to get him to roll up his sleeves and show me as well.
But the middle-aged man immediately explained with a smile: "Little brother, my son has a problem, he doesn't like others to look at his body, even me and his mother, haven't you already confirmed my arm?" I can assure you that it took us a month to do so. ”
I thought I had been a little too cautious, but I was a little suspicious when I looked at the clothes the young man was wearing, so tightly wrapped that I couldn't see any skin except his head and hands.
But middle-aged people have said so, and I'm embarrassed to really pick up other people's clothes, after all, some people do have some very strange problems.
I said, "I also understand your situation, I can cure this disease, but it will take some time, if you haven't found a place to rest, just stay with me for a few days, I am alone at home, the room is enough, you don't have to worry about this." ”
When the middle-aged man heard this, he wanted to refuse, but after hesitating for a moment, he was embarrassed to agree.
I arranged a room for the two of them, explained a few words and went out, just now Erdan called to say that Tian Fengxia was not feeling well, let me take a look in the past.
When I arrived at Erdan's house, I saw him waiting anxiously at the door, so I asked, "Is something wrong?" ”
Erdan hurriedly dragged me into the house, and said as he walked, "My sister-in-law is screaming in pain again, come and take a look." ”
When I came to Tian Fengxia's house and carefully examined her, I breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's okay, it's just a very ordinary fetal movement, it's not a big deal, it may be that my sister-in-law has been overly nervous recently, and she will be fine if she rests for a few more days." ”
Erdan was also relieved when he heard that it was okay.
He looked around, saw that there were more people, and then mysteriously pulled me into his room.
Seeing me looking at him curiously, he whispered, "Is there a father and son in your house?" ”
I nodded curiously at him and asked, "How do you know?" ”
When he heard this, his face immediately sank, and he said hurriedly: "I can tell you, these two people are very strange, I went to the river to fetch water two hours ago, and I saw the middle-aged man drinking water by the river." ”
As soon as I heard it, what's wrong with drinking water? And these two people still have dead insects in their bodies, and they love to drink water.
Seeing my indifferent look, Erdan said angrily:
"It's not strange to drink water, but the middle-aged man drank it for a full hour! And I looked like he hadn't drunk yet, and what was even more weird was that I saw the kid sneakily take off his shirt, as if he was putting medicine on his arm.
But do you know what's on that kid's arm? It's all sarcoma with big fingers! You say that the fuck is still human?!! ”
I chuckled in my heart, and the second egg said that only the middle-aged person was drinking water alone, and I forgot the most important point, after the dead worm entered the body, the first thing is that he would feel extremely thirsty, but after two months, the patient would be very afraid of water, and he could not touch any droplets.
And since the young man came to my house, he has never drunk water, and he has wrapped himself tightly, and now the second egg even says that he has a thumb-thick sarcoma on his arm, isn't this exactly the symptom of dead worms entering the human body for two months?
"Erdan, have you seen clearly? That kid really has a thumb-thick sarcoma on his arm, and he didn't even dare to touch the water? "I feel like my heart is about to jump to my throat, and I'm still a little lucky in my heart, hoping that the second egg is wrong.
"I can't be mistaken, that kid is far away from the river, he must be afraid of touching a little bit of water, I can tell you, the father and son are not fucking human at all!" The second egg shouted in horror.
