Chapter 7: Backbone
Actually, I know that she is worried, worried that after I see her, I will remember her, and she doesn't want to remember her, because she feels that she will really lose her soul this time.
I know all this, but I didn't say it, this may be human nature, the more sad things are, the more I like to hide them deep in my heart.
I think that if I hide it and don't think about it, I won't be sad, but I deceive myself.
I couldn't sleep that night, and I didn't close my eyes until the next morning when my grandfather came to me with a bag.
said that he would take me to Jiushui to find the spiritual doctor Yang Zhentian, and in the entire northwest, only he could save An Rushuang.
Grandpa said that he was a man of great ability, not only to treat the living, but also to help the spirit, but his temper was very strange.
On the way, my grandfather also told me that Carpenter Liu was fine, but I broke his head, and after I listened, I felt a little relieved.
Spiritual doctor Yang Zhentian lives in Beijiushui, less than 50 miles away from my home, and when my grandfather and I rode a tricycle to find him, he happened to be at home.
Explaining the intention, Yang Zhentian glanced at my arm, took out the jade pendant hanging around my neck and looked at it, and then blew his beard and glared at me and my grandfather:
"I, Yang Zhentian, have seen people and spirits all my life, and I have never treated yin spirits, I won't cure this spirit's curse, find another master!"
"Sir, please come to your rescue, she is my grandson's spiritual daughter-in-law, who has saved the lives of our whole family." My grandfather looked at Yang Zhentian and said.
"I said, I can't save her, I only treat the spirit of the underworld for the rest of my life, this kind of lonely soul and wild spirit in the yang world, what does it have to do with me?!。 Yang Zhentian looked at his grandfather and me and said, his tone was extremely tough.
"As long as you can save my grandson's spirit daughter-in-law, I will agree to whatever you ask me to do." Grandpa's tone was almost pleading.
Although grandpa has calculated the lives of others for a lifetime, he is also a very face-saving person, and this is the first time I have seen him beg for help in such a low voice.
At this point, my eyes were a little blurry.
Grandpa's plea was exchanged for Yang Zhentian's anger:
"Why are you so ignorant, I said I wouldn't help that yin soul healer, but I won't! It's useless to talk more, please come back! ”
"Senior, I beg you to save my spiritual daughter-in-law, only you have the ability to save her." I still didn't give up looking at Yang Zhentian and pleaded.
After Yang Zhentian heard my words, he looked at me with an angry face and said:
"Since you like the difficulties of strong people so much, then good, you kid will kneel down and kowtow to Yang Zhentian three times today, and I will save your spiritual daughter-in-law!"
After listening to Yang Zhentian's words, I looked up at him seriously and asked:
"What the seniors say counts?!"
"Count!" What Yang Zhentian said was categorical.
I didn't think much about it, and was about to kneel down towards him, but at this moment, the wind that had saved me so many times reappeared and stopped my body that was about to kneel.
"Xiaoyi, don't kneel for others, let's go." It was An Rushuang's voice.
"Only he can save you." I persuaded An Rushuang.
"I'd rather die than you give up a man's most important dignity and backbone to kneel down to others in order to save me. Xiaoyi, I want you to remember that if a man doesn't even have backbone, he won't have much left. An Rushuang's crisp voice was resolute.
I heard her words, took a deep breath, and said:
"What if I can exchange my backbone for your life, even if you don't? If today I let you lose your soul for the sake of your so-called "backbone", I am like a cartilage person who has been stripped of his backbone, there are no hard bones, only ungrateful soft skin fat, what's the point of living?! If you die, my backbone will die, and if you are here, my backbone will be there! Today, don't say it's three kowtows, even thirty kowtows! ”
"Okay, you're going to kowtow to me thirty times today!" Yang Zhentian's voice came!
After listening to Yang Zhentian's words, I wanted to slap myself in the mouth twice, why don't you owe it? People say that they knock three, but they have to say thirty, now it's okay, don't ask for melon seeds.
Although I regretted what I said, I didn't hesitate, for fear that this weird-tempered Yang Zhentian would turn his face and change his mind again, kneel down towards him, and kowtow thirty times in a row!
I have always believed that whether it is human or spiritual, backbone and life are always intertwined. Life is there, backbone is there!
She is as safe as frost, and my Chen Yi's backbone is there!
At the moment when I knelt down, I heard An Rushuang's cry, and she cried and said:
"Chen Yi, thank you, it's my blessing to marry you!"
Although Doctor Ling Yang Zhentian had a strange temper, his words counted, and after I knelt down for him, he really didn't say a word of nonsense, and took me into the house.
In front of a water tank, I was asked to strip my clothes and soak them in, and he kept putting medicine into the water tank......
As he put the medicine in the water tank, he said:
"Although I am saving your spiritual daughter-in-law, the cause starts from you, and if you want to save her, you have to start with you first......"
These days, I spend most of my time soaking in this water tank with the jade pendant around my neck, and Yang Zhentian holds my jade pendant from time to time, with words in his mouth, and after a while, his whole body is sweating.
I don't know how much Yang Zhentian paid to save An Rushuang.
But it must be not small, because one afternoon when I went to the bathroom, I accidentally saw him vomiting blood in the corner of the wall, and his eyes were full of bloodshots, and he looked extremely terrifying......
Perhaps, he asked me to kneel for him, there is another secret, I always think that Yang Zhentian is a good person.
