Chapter 9: Corpse Snake Sores
The morning sun shone on Meng Long's face, but it gave people an unreal feeling, and the sunlight fluctuated slightly in front of this face. Suddenly, there was a feeling that there was a dead air in the window that was desperately squeezing outward, and that dead air was confused in the sun, like a dream that had plagued the two generations of the Onijiu family.
Onihisa pressed the button on the 3rd floor of the elevator, and the elevator trembled on the 3rd floor and slowly opened. The moment the door opened, Kihisa's heart trembled inexplicably. Meng Long's voice came from the right side of the door: "Little brother, come here"
Onihisa walked to the right and saw a door that was hidden, and a foul smell came from the crack in the door, which brought Oniku back to his childhood...... A closed dark space, a mixture of loneliness, helplessness, hunger, coldness, and the familiar stench, the despair of sight, touch, taste, and mind.
Pushing open the door, the smell of corpses almost drew out the baked cakes that Oni had just eaten in his stomach. The room was dark, and the little light that came in from the door was swallowed up by the darkness.
"This way," the voice in the darkness startled the ghost for a long time—though he knew it was the voice of the dream dragon.
Accustomed to this darkness, Oni Jiu carefully looked at his surroundings: the window was drawn with thick curtains, the bedroom door inside was shut, and Meng Long was depressed and shrunk on the sofa that could not see the color clearly.
"Little brother, I'm sorry, I didn't go to pick you up in the car, it's really unspeakable, my daughter has a strange illness, and she must be supervised from midnight to morning when the sun comes out, otherwise she will scratch her whole body, and she is very afraid of seeing the light." As he spoke, he opened the bedroom door, and a greater smell of corpses rushed out of the bedroom, and Oniku quickly held his breath and mustered up the courage to step into the bedroom.
Through the faint light shining through the curtains, Onihisa saw waterfall-like black hair hanging down from the head of the bed, and a slender body facing inward, lying on the bed.
Meng Long told Ghost Jiu that her daughter had a blister on her waist, and the blister began to fester, and she stayed in the hospital for more than a month, and the hospital was powerless about the disease, so she went home. Yesterday, I heard what Oni Jiu said, and I decided that he must be a master.
"I didn't have time to tell you in detail when I came back in a hurry yesterday, hey, the blisters on my daughter's waist this morning have burst many times in the past month, and they are now buckled. A week ago, a witch doctor was brought in, and she said that it was called "snake sore", and she pricked the snake's eye with a needle and amputated the snake's tail. But it didn't heal, and the blisters continued. The witch doctor also thought it was strange, she said that she had never missed a chance in treating this disease before, but she could not do anything about my daughter's illness."
Listening to Meng Long's words, Ghost Jiu was also shocked in his heart, "snake sore" is actually not a difficult disease, the method of Western medicine is nothing more than to take medicine on a drip, and if it is serious, it will take a week's injection, and it will cost one or two thousand yuan. Chinese medicine uses the witch doctor's method - acupuncture. Three injections can be cured. But neither of these methods can cure it, and there is only one possibility, that is, she has the most deadly corpse poisonous snake sore. If you have this kind of sore, the head and tail of the snake will coincide after blisters more than 7 times, and it will be completely incurable. And after the third blister episode, the body will emit the stench of a corpse decomposing. And there is only one possibility for the cause of this terminal illness, that is, after getting snake sores, she has come into contact with a dead person, and this dead person must be that kind of yin corpse. The yin corpse is the corpse that does not decompose for many years after burial.
The situation is urgent, Oni Jiu lifted the gauze on her waist, and found that the blisters were like a real snake wrapped around her, and the two snake eyes that had been pricked by needles were shining with vicious light, as if they were staring at the snake tail in front of them, and corpse fluid was flowing out of the "snake mouth".
Ghost Jiu hurriedly opened the cloth bag on his body, took out a square ink and a stone inkstone, and while instructing Meng Long to help him grind ink, he took out a silver needle and quickly pierced it into the left side of her waist, that is, seven inches behind the snake's head, only then he breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "It's really dangerous, if the letter (a string of small blisters) spit out from the snake's mouth touches the snake's tail in a few minutes, it will be bad." But now the situation is still not optimistic, these seven inches may grow new blisters at any time, as soon as the blisters come out, the silver needle to cut the pulse. ”
Ghost Jiu urged Meng Long to sharpen the ink quickly while taking out a brush. Then the girl moaned softly.
Meng Long was so excited that he almost knocked over the ink: "Xiaole has been in a coma for two days, it seems that he is really saved!" ”
Ghost Jiu shook his head: "I'm not sure yet, I'm not too sure about this, it depends on her creation" yes! Who really controls their own life in life, and who can fully know what will happen in the next moment? Although Kiku's family has been making a living by fortune-telling since several generations ago, Kiku's future has become a scar on the family, and now he can only find his own truth alone, the truth that no one can tell.
"Han Gaozu slashed the white snake and cut it in two," Ghost Jiu finished drawing this talisman on the girl's waist in one breath. Meng Long was stunned by Onijiu's dazzling technique, because it only took a few seconds for Onijiu to go from starting to closing.
This technique was taught to Ghost Jiu by his mother, who was a rare "folk Chinese medicine" on Mulan's side, and according to his mother, he was taught by the old man. Tai Lao was a friend of a royal physician in the late Qing Dynasty and once treated Pu Yi. The most amazing thing about the old man is the thirteenth department of traditional Chinese medicine "Zhu Youke", when there were several intractable diseases in the palace, the imperial doctor friends begged the old man to be cured. It's a pity that now this discipline has been positioned as "dross" and kicked out of traditional Chinese medicine.
"Ahh Oniku looked at the bubbles on his waist, which slowly shrank like sun-dried eggplants, turning into tiny protrusions like the skin of a toad. I touched the girl's pulse and made sure that she was out of danger. Oni Jiu tore open the curtain on the window of the girl's room, and a large piece of sunlight suddenly filled the room, Oni Jiu found that the sunshine was so beautiful for the first time in his life, this sunshine seemed to drive away all the haze after Oni Jiu came to Beijing, and even made Oni Jiu temporarily forget that there are unknown difficulties waiting in the future ahead.
The girl woke up completely, and the stench of corpses receded like a tide. Ghost Jiu asked Meng Long to help the girl sit up, and Ghost Jiu opened the window a little more to ventilate. Thinking that he only cared about saving people, he didn't have time to see the girl's face, so he glanced back.
"Cai Wei!" Onijiu couldn't believe his eyes: "Why are you?" ”
Ghost Jiu's worldview is completely messed up, obviously Cai Wei was still alive yesterday, why did she suddenly become a bedridden patient? No, didn't Meng Long say that she had been sick for more than a month, what was going on?
The girl blinked and timidly leaned towards Meng Long's shoulder. At this time, Ghost Jiu realized that the difference between this girl and Cai Wei was that the eyes, the girl's eyes were full of innocence and innocence, and yesterday's Cai Wei's eyes were helpless, miserable, profound, and confused. That's the difference between the two of them. If you put the two of them together, no one else can tell who is who!
"How old are you? Do you have a sister or sister? Onijiu had a hunch that the child in front of him must have something to do with that Caiwei.
"Alas......" Meng Long sighed and said: "She has a pair of twin sisters, at the beginning of the year, the university called to say that she was missing, and I haven't found her for more than half a year, I'm sorry for their dead mother, I couldn't take care of them" Meng Long choked up.
Ghost Jiu suddenly had an ominous premonition, and hurriedly asked Meng Long, "What year were they born?" Meng Long inserted his hands deep into his hair: "...... in 1994" behind Meng Long's words The ghost hasn't listened to it for a long time, 1994 If Cai Wei is her sister, then Cai Wei is 16 years old, combined with Cai Wei's face, she will definitely die, is the ghost really seeing a ghost for a long time! It's impossible, Cai Wei clearly said that she was 15 years old, what the hell is going on? If that Cai Wei is her sister, there is no reason not to come back, if it is not her twin sister, it is even more impossible, with the experience of the ghost for many years, it can be completely concluded that Cai Wei must be her sister. But looking at the furnishings of Meng Long's house, it doesn't look like a rich family, this house is rented, but how to explain the 300,000 yuan that Cai Wei gave to Ghost Jiu?
The ghost Jiu's head was a little big, and he hurriedly said goodbye to Meng Long, but he didn't even listen to Meng Long's words of thanks, and left his house as if he had fled.
