Ma Pingchuan shook his body and galloped towards the top of the mountain, and we had to follow, until we reached the halfway point of the mountain, and the crazy old man shouted: "Stop, don't go, it's getting late, let's go there to rest today." As he spoke, he pointed to his left.

We looked in the direction of his finger and found that there were more than a dozen corner towers, located in the mountains and forests, and at a glance we knew that they were the villages of ethnic minorities.

Ma Pingchuan glanced at the top of the mountain, turned his head and swept towards the corner tower, a few of us followed, and after a while arrived in the village, the crazy old man lied that we were tourists, but was warmly received, and soon negotiated a place to live at night, the head of the household was a man in his forties, honest and honest, very strong.

As soon as we went up to the corner tower, our eyes were immediately straight, and the room was full of all kinds of animal skins, among which there were two blind bears, no need to ask, the head of this family must be a good hunter.

The crazy old man gave the man a sum of money and asked him to prepare some game, but the man insisted on not wanting to, which made me very surprised, this is in strong contrast with the Nanshan car god, and I must talk to the Nanshan car god in the future.

After a while, the crazy old man put the money away, and when he gave us a look, we smiled. Although the crazy old man is a very picky person, he hasn't picked the door yet, and he is probably ready to leave the money when he leaves.

After a while, the man brought the meal, which was very hearty, a braised rabbit, a wild garlic fried bacon, a large plate of roe deer legs, a large crockpot of mountain mushroom stewed pheasant, a cold wild vegetables, full of local flavor, and brought a large jar of home-brewed rice wine.

As soon as the wine and food were together, the man beckoned us to sit down to eat and drink, and poured a big bowl of rice wine for each of us, this rice wine was very thick, almost all of them could be piled up on the bowl noodles, the entrance was sweet, and the wine taste was very light, even Qianying and Xue Bing were full of praise.

After drinking two bowls, everyone began to get acquainted, and praised the man's dishes for being delicious, and the man showed a sincere smile, rubbed his hands and said: "It's also forced, my daughter-in-law is sick all the year round, and I can't get off the ground, I only have to do it myself, it's not delicious, and I can barely import it." ”

When the crazy old man heard this, he immediately glanced at Xue Bing, turned his head and smiled: "Coincidentally, my granddaughter-in-law specializes in treating all kinds of incurable diseases, we just happened to eat your wine and meat, and you don't want to give money, so we will cure your daughter-in-law's illness for you, what do you think?" ”

I listened to it, Xue Bing poured out surprisingly no blush, I found that since returning from the East China Sea, Xue Bing has become much more generous.

When the man heard this, he didn't show a happy expression, but drank a big bowl of rice wine in a sullen voice, and then wiped his mouth and said: "I won't hide it from you, my daughter-in-law has been sick for several years, although we are from the mountains, I can get by with marksmanship, hunt some animal fur, and exchange some money, and I have taken her to a big hospital." ”

"But everyone is helpless, in the past few years, I don't know how many hospitals I have run, how many experts I have found, and I can't even find a cause, I have accepted my fate, maybe, I killed too many living beings, and God gave me retribution!"

As soon as we heard it, we immediately understood that this man didn't believe in Xue Bing's ability, but it was no wonder that Xue Bing was a girl, and it was normal for her to lack authority compared to those experts in big hospitals, but in terms of means, those experts might not even be as good as Xue Bing's little fingers.

The crazy old man said, "So powerful? Can you tell us about what's going on? How did you get this disease? ”

The man sighed and said: "Everything that can be checked, all have been checked, and nothing is wrong, but I have chills all day long, and I can't warm up no matter how I cover it." And he couldn't stand up, as soon as his feet hit the ground, the whole person softened into a ball, and the others were no different from ordinary people. ”

"I don't know how I got this disease, my daughter-in-law used to be in good health, one day I came back from hunting, my daughter-in-law was fine when she ate, and after a while after eating, she sat down on the ground, and since then, she has never stood up."

The crazy old man nodded, "It may be hypochondria, this disease has been cured by my granddaughter-in-law several times before, let's go and see it later, if it can be cured, it can be cured, and if it can't be cured, do your best, what if it can be cured?" Right? ”

The man also nodded and said, "Okay, good!" Everybody eats. Several of us looked at each other and smiled, and it could be seen that this man didn't expect Xue Bing to cure his daughter-in-law at all, and I even began to imagine what his expression would be after Xue Bing cured his daughter-in-law.

Everyone was full of food and drink, and as the man arrived at the opposite corner tower, as soon as I entered the room, I found that something was wrong, the corner tower was divided into two rooms, the outer one was fine, and it was covered with animal skins everywhere, and even the wooden planks on the ground were paved, but the room was still cold and swishing, and it was very cold.

The man smiled: "My daughter-in-law is afraid of the cold, everyone is smiling." ”

The crazy old man glanced at me and motioned for me to wait and feel and see if it was some kind of demon that was causing trouble, and I nodded my head to indicate that I knew what to do.

At this time, a female voice sounded inside: "Is there a guest outside?" ”

The man said, "Yes! There are a few tourists who have to come up to visit you. "He didn't say that we were going to treat her, because he was afraid that she would be disappointed again!

We didn't say anything, we haven't noticed anything unusual so far, and to be honest, we don't know anything about it. Inside, the cold was heavier, a woman in her forties was lying on the bed, and at a glance she knew that she was a very simple woman from a mountain village, but her face was pale, her eyes were slightly red, she had been sick for a long time, and she looked very thin, lying on the bed, looking at us.

The crazy old man stepped forward to greet the woman, Xue Bing approached and took a closer look, while I closed my eyes to see if the woman was entangled by some demon.

I couldn't sense it at all, I could only sense a chill enveloping this woman's body, and I couldn't sense the presence of any demon spirits at all.

I shook my head at the crazy old man, the crazy old man frowned, and Xue Bing also shook his head at the crazy old man, obviously I didn't see any clue, and I was a little frustrated.

But the mad old man did not give up, and continued to talk with the woman, and after three and two turns, he brought the topic to the woman's illness, and asked her how she got it. The woman smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know! That day, I went to the stream to wash vegetables and fetch water, and when I came back to cook, I was fine, but suddenly it didn't work, this is fate, alas! ”

The mad old man continued to ask, "Didn't you encounter anything strange by the stream?" Like a snake or something? ”

Unexpectedly, when the woman heard this, she immediately said casually: "Don't say it, there is really one thing, if you don't say it, I haven't thought of it." That day, I was washing vegetables by the stream, and suddenly there were two fish swimming on the water, one black and one red, which was very beautiful, and we had good water here, and there were a lot of fish in the stream, so I didn't care. ”

"But when I was washing vegetables, the black fish had been swimming beside me, chasing the vegetable leaves to eat, so I grabbed it with the vegetable basket and fished the fish, which was half a catty."

"The fish is the general carp, often seen in the mountain stream, I came back to burn, the head of the family into the mountains to hunt just came back, we to eat, at the time did not feel anything, and then I felt cold all over the body, I wanted to go into the house to get a piece of clothing to wear, to the house, the body bones can not hold up, since then, never stood up."

When the crazy old man heard this, a pair of small eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked while gesturing: "Is that fish only the length of chopsticks, but the width of a palm, the whole body is pitch black, there is a small pimple the size of a soybean on the head of the fish, and there are four whiskers on the lips?" ”

The woman thought for a moment and said, "It seems like this, I can't remember how long and wide it was, but I remember clearly that there was a little lump the size of a soybean on my head." ”

The crazy old man slapped his face, turned his head and said to the man: "That's it, that mountain stream, is it straight to the top of the mountain?" ”

When the man saw it, he vaguely knew that the crazy old man had found out the cause of his daughter-in-law, and he suddenly became a little excited, and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, the water source of that mountain stream is the mountain spring on the mountain, old man, do you mean, my daughter-in-law's illness has something to do with that fish?" But I also ate that fish! Why don't I have anything? ”

Hearing him say this, a few of us were also confused, yes! This man is right! He also ate fish, so why didn't he do anything at all?

The crazy old man smiled and said: "Of course you have no problem eating, the fish can only be eaten by men, men eat it, strengthen the body, and all diseases will be dispersed, I dare to guarantee that you have not even had a cold or flu in the past few years, right?" ”

When the man heard this, he didn't think about it and nodded again and again: "Not bad!" I used to go into the mountains to hunt, my leg was broken, and then although it was better, but when it came to a rainy day, it was sore, since my daughter-in-law was sick, I never committed this problem again, usually there is no headache and fever These small problems, I have always thought that it was because of my good health. ”

The crazy old man laughed and said: "That fish is a good thing for men, but it is fatal to women, and when a woman eats it, she must be cold, and her body has no strength, as if she has been pulled out of her bones, let alone stand up, and she can't even sit still." After a long time, I am completely unconscious from the neck down, and I can't control my urine and urine to say something ugly, right? ”

When the man heard this, he immediately knelt down in front of the crazy old man with a "poof", and kowtowed again and again: "Immortals! Please save my daughter-in-law! The woman's face became agitated, and she pleaded with a chorus of pleas.

In fact, not only the man and his wife were excited, but we couldn't help but be curious, what kind of fish is this, and it has such an effect, I only knew that some fish can poison people, and it is the first time I have heard that there are fish that can only be eaten by men and women cannot eat.

The crazy old man hurriedly picked up the man and said: "Don't worry, if I don't know about this, forget it, now that I have met, I will definitely save your daughter-in-law, but this matter is a bit cumbersome, you wait first, I will discuss with a few children to see how to save it." ”

After speaking, he gave us a look, took us outside, looked up at the top of the mountain, and said with a long sigh: "Grandma's, I guessed correctly, there is really a dragon vein here!" ”
