Chapter 001: Medical Eye
Mu Dan'er, is my nickname, my official name is Zhang Mu, but what I want to say today is not my name, but a bizarre incident related to my eyes, when I was nine years old, I couldn't see anything because of a fever, my parents spent a few dollars in the family in order to treat my eyes, but unfortunately because there was no retina transplant for me, I ended up a little blind.
At first, I was depressed, desperate, and scared.
Because my eyes can't get better, I can't read and study, I can't grow up to be a scientist, and I can't build an atomic bomb.
The main thing is that I can't watch the hit cartoon "Soccer Kid".
When I came back from the hospital, my family did not give up on me completely, but began to find all kinds of earthwork for me, old Chinese medicine doctors, and some yin and yang, dancing gods to see me, and even my grandfather also found a blind man to see the disease, but it was not an ordinary blind man, it was a well-known "bright eye" in our township, it is said that things in the yang world cannot be seen, but things in the underworld can be seen.
The old Chinese medicine doctor, Yin and Yang, and the dancing god, didn't have any way to my eyes, but the blind man said to my family: "The peony egg has the eye to save it, but I don't know if you are willing to spend some blood." ”
Hearing the blind man's words, the grandfather asked: "Blind Wang, if you have something to say, how much is it, even if I go up the mountain to dig up ten years of medicinal materials for you, I will make it up for you." ”
The blind man said: "It's not a matter of money, Lao Zhang, you are a cultural person, and you are also an understanding person, what I said about blood has nothing to do with money, what I want is the three drops of the child's blood." ”
My dad asked next to me, "What is a child's blood?" ”
Grandpa's tone was a little gloomy and said: "I used to read a story in our county chronicle, which said that the child's blood is actually the child's lifespan, three drops, that is, three years." ”
My dad asked curiously next to him: "Why are these things still recorded in the county chronicles, Dad, when did you read the county chronicles, why don't I know." ”
The blind man said: "Your father used to be a member of a big family, and his grandfather was a great literati in the county, and he compiled the county chronicles for our county, so it is normal for him to read the county chronicles, but in your generation, the cultural atmosphere of your old Zhang family has been lost." ”
Grandpa said beside him: "Okay, Wang is blind, don't count him, what is Xiaomu's eyes, don't use the blood of a child, use my lifespan, anyway, I don't have a few years to live in this old life, a few years earlier, a few years later, it doesn't matter." ”
The blind man of the king said categorically: "It must be the blood of a child." ”
"You have thought about it, this peony will either be blind for a lifetime, or live three years less, and you will be able to see Liang'er for the rest of your life."
I remember that my grandfather and my parents discussed it for a long time, and then my grandfather asked the blind man: "Tell me, what's the matter?" ”
The blind man said: "You have read the county records of our county, you should know the fox girl tower on the eastern slope, right?" ”
Grandpa said: "I know, but wasn't that tower demolished when it was broken, and now it's a locust forest, what's the use." ”
The blind man said: "If you believe me, tonight coincides with the full moon night, let's lead the peony eggs to the ruins of the fox girl tower, and I will be able to see Liang'er in three days." ”
I was a little scared when I was listening to it, and it would be a terrible thing for anyone to live three years less, so I asked the blind man, "If you can cure your eyes, why don't you cure them!" ”
The blind man said, "My blood is not clean, the fox lady does not accept it, the fox lady wants clean child blood." ”
At that time, it was late autumn, and the night was very cool, so my grandfather carried me on his back and went with the blind man Wang to the barren mountain called Dongpo in the east of the village.
Originally, my parents were going to come with me, but the blind man said that there were too many bad people, so they didn't dare to follow.
Walking on the road, the cool breeze gusts, and a few bird chirpings can be heard from time to time.
But this night, I don't know what happened, the birds were very strange, all the birds hid, only the old eagle kept screaming.
It was said that it was no good for the old eagle to cry, so I hugged my grandfather's neck tightly, and I didn't dare to gasp for a while.
Grandpa was a little out of breath by me, but he still said very gently: "Xiaomu, don't be afraid, grandpa is here, it will be fine." ”
"Huhuhu......"
"Woo woo woo ......"
The wind blew through the mountain stream, and the sound became more and more terrifying.
My eyes couldn't see anything, so the fear of the sound was even greater.
I swallowed a mouthful of saliva involuntarily, and at this moment another breeze blew, as if something was blown to my ears, fluffy, wet, and slimy, what is this? Ghost!?
"Ahh
I subconsciously screamed, and then kept tapping my ears with my hands.
This call blinded my grandfather and the blind man, and my grandfather staggered a few steps, quickly put me down from his back and asked me what was wrong.
I squatted on the ground in fright and said, "I have something in my ear......"
Then I told my grandfather how I felt, and he checked both of my ears and found nothing.
The blind man also came over and touched my ear, and then said, "It's nothing, I guess the wind is too strong, and the leaves that have blown past have rubbed against me." ”
Continue on your way.
But I still felt that what had just appeared in my ears was not a leaf, but the nose of some animal, as if something was approaching my body, sniffing my scent, as if it was a pre-dinner enjoyment, was it a fox that sniffed me?
The fox girl tower lives with foxes, right? So when I thought about going to the Fox Girl Tower, I couldn't help but cry again with a "wow".
Grandpa asked me what I was crying about, and I asked them if they were going to feed me to the fox.
Grandpa said: "Don't worry, the fox lady is good, she doesn't eat people." ”
At this time, the blind man said in a strange manner: "Okay? A good temple should be built, why is it a tower that is being built? And it's not a worship tower that was repaired, it's a town spirit tower? Good? It's just that the person who wrote the county chronicle took its benefits and wrote it well. ”
When the blind man said this, I could feel my grandfather's body trembling.
Soon the blind man said again: "But these are not important, the important thing is that this fox lady really has a way to save the peony." ”
Grandpa was stunned at this time and did not move.
The blind man asked his grandfather: "Lao Zhang, why can't I hear your footsteps, if I miss the auspicious time, the eyes of the peony will be cured." ”
Grandpa asked the blind man: "Blind Wang, you are honest, do you want to save Xiaomu, or do you want to harm us, what you said just now is obviously disrespectful to my ancestors, my ancestors wrote county chronicles, and it was my grandfather who wrote the story of the fox lady." ”
"Also, what do you and the fox lady have to do with my family, why are you so buried in us?"
The blind man laughed twice and said, "Lao Zhang, you think too much, I just heard some legends in the market and said a few words casually, why are you still in a hurry." ”
Before the grandfather could speak, the blind man said again: "If you don't hurry up, the eyes of the peony will really be hopeless." ”
Grandpa took a deep breath and took his own steps.
For the next hour or so, I felt something in my ear several times, and the back of my neck was shaking, but it didn't touch me again, I just hugged my grandfather's neck in fright, and didn't let out any more frightened screams.
When we stopped, the blind man said to his grandfather, "Put the oons down, and then take out an iron box from my backpack, which is the one that is rusty and has a tiger's head engraved on it." ”
Grandpa tossed for a while, and I heard the sound of the iron box being turned out, and then Grandpa said slowly: "Ancestor Kaishan ......"
"Smack!"
As soon as Grandpa's three words came out, I heard the sound of the iron box falling to the ground, but Grandpa was silent.
I was so frightened that I only shouted, "Grandpa, where are you, what's wrong with you?" ”
At this point I felt a large hand grab my neckline, and then he lifted my whole body from the ground.
The neckline jammed my neck and made it a little hard for me to breathe.
Then I heard the voice of the blind man: "Don't kick, Mudan'er, your grandfather is fine, just asleep, and then I will start to treat your eyes, if you shout again, I will tear your mouth apart." ”
As soon as the blind man said this, I immediately had such a picture in my mind, a child with a tearful face, a large gap in the corner of his mouth, he opened his mouth while crying, and the whole mouth was bloody and cracked under the root of the ear.
I felt a chill on my body, and I didn't dare to speak.
At the same time, there was no wind in my ears, no sound of the blind man, not only was there no light in my world, but now there was no sound.
But at this time, I smelled a very strong smell of incense and candles, and the blind man carried me as if he was walking on a downward staircase.
What did I do badly? Could it be that when I was in school, I broke the hairpin of the lesbian table, drew a king eight in the homework book on the back table, and put a dead mouse in the drawer of the front table......
I know it's wrong, don't take me to hell.
I cried again with a "wow", and I promised to be a good student and not take me to hell.
While I wept, I muttered to the blind king, but he ignored me, and he carried me deeper and deeper......
