On the edge of the stove sat a blue plate with steaming turnip cakes. Depending on the situation, these radish cakes are freshly cooked, although they are not as delicate as those cut by themselves, but the color and fragrance are better than those made by themselves.

"Can Ruyi taste a piece of that turnip cake?"

"If you can taste it, if Madame likes it, when I leave later, I will let Ah Niu pretend to be Madame for you."

"Not necessarily! Need not! I just look at the radish cake you make is better than the ones I made, and I want to taste it and see where my shortcomings are? Is there something missing in the production process, or maybe something went wrong in the production process? ”

"It's just turnip cake, how can there be those sermons spoken by Madame." The old woman groped her way to the stove, picked up the whole plate and handed it to Ah Niu: "Take it and give it to Madame to taste." My radishes are all grown by myself, the soil is different, the climate is not used, the radishes that grow will be a little different, and it is normal to have some differences in the taste of the radish cakes made. ”

Xing Ruyi took a bite gently: "The radish cake made by A-Niang is really delicious, it seems that it is not that I made it in the wrong way, but that the radish I bought back is wrong." ”

"It's okay, when I have a lot of radish, let Ah Niu give some to Mrs., and keep it for the whole winter, so that Mrs. can eat the turnip cake." The old woman said and sat down: "Although I don't often go to Yunjiaji, I also know that there was no female doctor on this set, especially after the Guo family hid that prescription, there are even fewer doctors who see patients and practice medicine. I don't know who Madame studied from, and where she came from? Do you want to live permanently on our Yunjiaji, or do you want to pass by temporarily? ”

"Mother, what are you asking Madame to do with these?" Ah Niu knew that the old woman was blind, but he still looked at her with disgust: "Madame is a good person, not the one we met before. You touched my hand, it was Mrs. Shi who helped me treat it when I was on the set just now, and it was only once that I was treated, and my hand felt a little. Although it may not be able to be cured as before, it can also help you do some work, so that your mother will no longer work so hard. ”

"Ah Niu is a good boy, and he is a mother." The old woman patted Ah Niu's hand, "Don't mind, madam, this person is blind, so he loves to think cranky." ”

Ruyi is also a mother, knowing that all mothers in the world have a common psychology, that is, they are worried about their children all the time, and there will be a subconscious defense for those who suddenly get close to their children. Besides, Ruyi also saw it, and the mountain in front of him seemed to be a little peaceful. ”

"There are some curious people who come here often, but they don't do anything out of the ordinary." The old woman had some evasive meaning in her words, and she smiled and did not continue.

"Just now A-Niang asked about Ruyi's medical skills, in fact, Ruyi's medical skills are all family traditions, and they have not officially been listed to practice medicine. As for Ruyi's origin, there is nothing to hide, Ruyi is a native of Luoyang, and has been living in Luoyang City before, making a living by selling rouge gouache. This time, I returned to my hometown with my husband, and when I passed by Yunjiaji, I stopped by to see a relative of Ruyi. ”

"Madame also has relatives in Yunjiaji?"

"Well, her surname is Bai, her single name is a Jiaozi, and she used to open a dumpling shop in Yunjiaji. Because he was unwell and needed to return to his hometown to recuperate, he entrusted the dumpling shop to Ruyi to take care of. It's a pity that Ruyi is not good at this cooking, the dumpling wrap is particularly ugly, think about it, simply go back to the old business, and change this dumpling shop into a rouge shop, which has just been renovated a few days ago. ”

"It turned out to be a relative of the White Lady, so I was relieved. That White Lady is a rare kind-hearted person, and she helped me when I encountered difficulties before. I just don't know what Mrs. Bai's condition is? How far is my hometown from Yunjiaji? If it's close, I'll ask Ah Niu to take me to see her another day. Speaking of which, Mrs. Bai helped me at that time, and I didn't even have time to say a word of thanks. ”

"Auntie, please don't worry, this Aunt Bai of mine is suffering from an old disease, and it will be fine to return to her hometown to recuperate for a while. As for my aunt's hometown, it is naturally near Luoyang, and there is also a small half-month itinerary according to this. A-Niang has bad eyes, so naturally she can't walk this way. Your heart, wishful thinking will help you bring. ”

"It turned out to be in Luoyang, no wonder I saw that this White Lady's demeanor was different from that of people in our small place." The old woman sighed lightly as she spoke: "With such a long distance, I'm afraid I won't be able to say thank you to Madame Bai in person in my life." It's just this matter, Ah Niu, you have to make a note, if you can meet this white lady another day, you must kowtow to her on behalf of your mother. ”

"Mother, don't worry, Ah Niu has written it down in his heart." Ah Niu solemnly promised, and turned to look at Xing Ruyi: "Madam, my mother's eyes, please see if they can still be cured." ”

"Good!" Xing Ruyi didn't want to say any more greetings, just as Ah Niu opened his mouth, he also sat down in front of the old woman, and shook his hand lightly in front of her eyes: "Ah Niang may see Ruyi's hand, even if it's just a vague shadow." ”

The old woman opened her eyes vigorously, and said, "Madame, don't waste your efforts, these eyes of mine have long been lost. ”

"A-Niang, why did you give up so quickly, do you not believe in Ah Niu's vision, or do you not believe in Ruyi's medical skills?" Xing Ruyi said jokingly, and opened the old woman's eyelids with her hand.

"Yes, mother, Madame followed Ah Niu all the way to this mountain just to show you this eye disease. It's good that this hasn't started yet, so you let Madame don't waste your efforts, don't you believe in Madame's medical skills, don't you believe that Ah Niu can find someone who heals your eyes?"

"It's my mother's mistake, it's my mother's can't speak, don't mind, madam. At first, I looked for people to see this eye, but they all said that it could not be cured. I also said such inappropriate words because I was afraid of delaying your time, madam. ”

"A-Niang doesn't have to explain, Ruyi understands in her heart." Xing Ruyi said, and opened the old woman's other eye to check it. "Auntie, aren't your two eyes blind at the same time?"

"It's really not, my left eye is blind later than my right eye, and it took about two years to gradually lose sight."

That's right, A-Niang's left eye is pathological blindness. This condition is caused by atrophy of the optic nerve in the eye and visual field defects. If a person suffers from this condition, if he is exposed to light, he can see a cyan reflection in the pupil, hence the name glaucoma.

Li Mao, look for a lamp and candle. ”

"There are lamps and candles here, do you need to light them?" Ah Niu took half of the candle and came over.

Xing Ruyi nodded, and he quickly lit a fire and lit it.

Xing Ruyi took the candle and brought it close to the old woman's eyes: "Look at this eye, there is a cyan reflection."

"It's faintly dark, there's some dark cyan." Li Mao said, glancing at Ah Niu: "What about you?" ”

"Is that what Madame is talking about?" Ah Niu pointed to a blue dark spot in the old woman's eyes: "Could it be that the thing that blinded my mother is it?" ”

The same can be said, but this cyan color is only a symptom of the disease, not the cause of the disease. Patients with glaucoma often experience severe blurred vision, severe eye and head pain, nausea or vomiting. In the early stage of the disease, patients will have a rainbow-like colored halo when looking at light, and as long as these symptoms appear, the patient will soon lose vision, which is often referred to as blindness, blindness, and blindness. ”

"Is there a cure for glaucoma?" Ah Niu asked eagerly: "Ah Niu also knows that her mother has been ill for a long time, and if she wants to recover as before, I am afraid it will be difficult." Therefore, Ah Niu just wanted to ask Madame, but there was a way for Ah Niang to see something slightly, even if it was only vague, it was better than the darkness in front of her. ”

"This glaucoma can indeed be controlled and treated by taking medication and surgery in the early stages of the disease. But now, A-Niang's eyes are blind, and the two methods mentioned above will not work. Ruyi is very sorry, and Ruyi can't do anything about A-Niang's left eye. ”

"If you can't cure it, you can't cure it, anyway, these days, I'm used to not being able to see things. Although the eyes are no longer visible, the heart is brighter. I think that's pretty good. Ah Niu, don't embarrass Mrs. anymore. ”

"What Madame just said is that you can't do anything about your mother's left eye? In other words, the mother's right eye, can the lady heal? ”

"That's right! For A-Niang's left eye, Ruyi is powerless, but A-Niang's right eye may still have some room for redemption. ”

Xing Ruyi said, and opened the old woman's right eye again. Only this time, she used ghost magic.

The old woman's left eye had obvious eye lesions, but there was no problem with her right eye. In other words, through the previous naked eye observation, Xing Ruyi did not notice any symptoms of lesions in the old woman's right eye, but only felt that her pupils were too dark. But after using the ghost magic, she saw a different situation.

It turned out that there was a painting hidden in the old woman's right eyeball, and the content of that painting happened to be related to the Niangniang temple in the mountain.

A long time ago, Xing Ruyi heard people say that human eyes also have a recording function, especially the eyes of the dead, which can completely record everything they saw before they died. Originally, Xing Ruyi didn't believe in this statement very much, but it wasn't until she saw the old woman's right eye today that she realized that this rumor was true. In other words, the old woman's right eye is not blind, but "dead"!
