Chapter 18: Dead
Early in the morning of the fifth day of the first lunar month, I heard Xu Kaigui's daughter-in-law crying at home, it was Xu Kaigui who died.
The matter is really serious, it is said that Xu Kaigui had a little fever on the fourth night of the first year and vomited a few times, but he didn't take it seriously, thinking that it would be fine the next day, but it turned out that he was already cold the next morning.
Xu Kaigui's daughter-in-law kept crying, cursing while crying, Cheng Changbao's brothers were naturally scolded by her, and even the village chief was scolded a lot, but no one bothered with her anymore, after all, her husband died. And even if I want to go in and think about it, no one has the courage to do this, and it is obvious that the matter of the chicken plague is true.
The village chief was very anxious and began to persuade the villagers to burn all the live and dead chickens in the house. It's sad and funny that by this time, only half of the people were really willing to dispose of the chickens and ducks at home.
Before Xu Kaigui was buried, several more people died in the village, and all of them were young adults and children, but the old people were not sick. The village chief knew that there were still people who did not want to burn the chickens in the house, so he no longer tried to persuade them, and hid in the house every day, hardly going out. Maybe everyone thinks that a few people in the village have died in a row, and everyone else will burn the chickens at home, but in fact, no, Lu Yu can still hear the rooster crowing every morning, and there are quite a few of them.
Lao Gao Ludi's family has no chickens, and they are complaining about those who refuse to cooperate. In fact, Lu Yu also felt that those people were really hateful, although he didn't have to worry about getting sick. (This is really the case in the countryside, it has been like this for thousands of years, no exaggeration)
Although Lao Gao's family has no chickens, his son Xiaocai is still sick that day, and he feels like he is dying. The old man was so anxious that he had no choice, so he went to Lu Yu's house to ask him if there was any way to save his son. Lu Yu is not a doctor, and he also thinks that ordinary doctors Langzhong will definitely not be able to cure this disease, where can there be any way. Lao Gao was a little desperate, and the tall man howled and cried in front of Lu Yu.
Looking at Lao Gao's back trembling because of crying, Lu Yu was a little uncomfortable, he had no children, but he could also feel a little bit of the mood of being a parent, if he could, Lao Gao was willing to die for his son. Lu Yu thought about it for a long time, and suddenly felt that there was a way to give it a try.
Lu Yu boiled a pot of boiling water, and drank seven or eight bowls in one breath after the boiling water became cold, until his stomach swelled into a ball and he couldn't drink a drop of water anymore. Then Lu Yu began to meditate again, letting the aura accumulated in his body go through his body several times. He felt that the water in his stomach should already be "spiritual water".
Eh, the next thing is a little disgusting, Lu Yu carefully inserted chopsticks into his throat, and then spit out a large plate of dirty water, which should be very dirty "spiritual water". In fact, Lu Yu felt that his blood should contain more aura, but he thought that in the future, he might not only save Xiaocai alone, but he didn't have so much blood to dedicate.
The aura in the "spiritual water" couldn't last long, and Lu Yu didn't wait for the dirty water to settle for a while, so he scooped a bowl and took it to Lao Gao's house. Lao Gao was about to take his son to the town to see the doctor, and he didn't have time to greet Lu Yu when he saw him coming.
Lao Gao's daughter-in-law saw Lu Yu holding a bowl of a slightly sour liquid, guessed some, and hurriedly asked him what it was.
Lu Yu asked Lao Gao to put down Xiaocai first, and told him that he had some elixirs left by his mother at home, which might have some effect. Lao Gao couldn't ask Lu Yu what kind of elixir it was, whether it really had an effect, so he hurriedly asked him to give the medicine to Xiaocai.
