Li Xiaodong also knew that the river was lifeless, and most of those boats still didn't dare to pass, but since they had come here, he felt uncomfortable if he didn't inquire about any news downstream.

At his insistence, the two walked to the river, and asked one boat by boat, and it didn't take long for a boatman to point to a dilapidated fishing boat in the distance and said, "That's the boat that came back in the morning, the ship's boss is surnamed Chen, we all call him Uncle Chen, you can go to his boat and ask." ”

The two of them followed his direction, walked along the river bank for a distance of one or twenty meters, and boarded the old fishing boat.

A dark-skinned boy of fourteen or fifteen years of age, shirtless, was climbing on a high cockpit, holding a hammer and striking it as if he were nailing a piece of iron, and the two of them could see clearly that there was a row of holes in the cockpit, and the glass of the windows had been shattered, and it was clear that the ship had been subjected to heavy fire.

"You ...... Is there anything wrong with you?"

When the young man saw two strangers coming, especially when he saw the beautiful and compelling Leng Ran Bing, he couldn't help blushing a little, and even spoke a little babbling.

Li Xiaodong smiled and asked, "Little brother, is Uncle Chen there?"

The boy shook his head, "No. ”

"Where did he go?"

"My sister was sick, and he took her to Granny Miao. ”

Li Xiaodong asked, "Who is Granny Miao?"

"She's a goddess who knows how to see a doctor. ”

"Oh, it turned out to be a witch doctor. Li Xiaodong nodded.

He knew that in many places, especially in poor and backward places, there would be witches and gods, some of these people knew some charms and remedies, and they were reluctant to treat incurable diseases, but some were pure liars and just mixed food.

Li Xiaodong learned from the young man's mouth that the boat was also very unlucky, although it did not touch the mine, but the Red Turban soldiers on the shore who were responsible for blocking the river damaged the hull with an anti-aircraft gun, and more importantly, the young man's sister was frightened and touched her head while dodging the shooting, and the whole person became a little demented.

The reason why the boat did not touch the mine was not due to luck, but because the fishing boat avoided the main channel of the river and bypassed the key water area from a fork in the river, so that it narrowly returned to the dock.

The fork in the road is easy to run aground, the larger ships cannot pass, and the boatmen who are not familiar with the water conditions of the river cannot guarantee the safe passage of the boats.

The young man's name was Chen Shuisheng, the son of Uncle Chen, and after Li Xiaodong chatted with him, he asked him to get off the bridge and asked, "Your sister fell her head, why don't you go to the hospital for a check-up?"

The young man hung his head shyly and said, "It costs a lot of money to go to the hospital, but it doesn't cost money to go to Granny Miao, and it is very difficult for the family to make ends meet, and there is not so much money at all." ”

After Li Xiaodong heard this, he looked him up and down a few times, and saw that his pants were tattered, and the rubber shoes he was wearing under his feet were also open, and he knew that he was right, this fisherman's family was really difficult, so he took out a stack of banknotes from his wallet, handed him and said, "Take this money and give it to your sister to recuperate." ”

Seeing this, Leng Ranbing also took out a stack of banknotes from his wallet and handed it over.

"Y-who are you? You're a charity?"

The local area was poor, the young man had never seen so much money, and it was all red Huaxia bills, there were thousands of yuan, he was so excited that he trembled, he only dared to put a pair of hands behind his back, and he didn't dare to follow.

Especially during this period of war, which has a great impact on the fishing industry, in order to maintain his life, his family has already owed foreign debts, and life is almost unbearable.

"We are out-of-town tourists and we want to go to the Silver Triangle downstream, but ......"

Li Xiaodong paused, grabbed one of his hands, stuffed all these banknotes into his hand and said, "Let's not talk about these first, put the money away, lead the way, let's go to meet your father and your sister." ”

"Thank you, thank you, big brother, thank you, big sister, you are all good people, you will definitely have a good reward......" The young man bowed again and again, surprised and moved, and tears were about to flow.

Li Xiaodong shook his head secretly, as for it, isn't it just a few thousand yuan, so you can use it so impulsively?

Naturally, he didn't understand what kind of concept these thousands of dollars were equivalent to in a poor local area.

The young man ran all the way, and soon took Li Xiaodong and Leng Ranbing to a riverside house two miles away.

In the small courtyard, the boy's father, Chen Bo, was sitting on a bench with a big girl with a vacant eyes and a frightened expression, waiting for Granny Miao to come out of the hall.

The young man wanted to go up and introduce his father, but Li Xiaodong stopped him, and stood aside with Leng Ranbing, watching quietly.

Li Xiaodong wanted to see if Granny Miao, who was chattering and worshipping the Bodhisattva in the hall, really had two strokes.

I saw that Miao mother-in-law was dressed in black and pants, holding three pillars of incense in both hands, with her back to the outside of the house, facing a shrine on the wall and bowing and worshipping, with words in her mouth.

Leng Ranbing saw that the statue of the god and Buddha in the shrine was a peculiar female shape, so he pulled Li Xiaodong and asked in a low voice: "Who is the god and Buddha that this Miao Po worships?

Li Xiaodong shook his head slowly and replied: "No, it's the Ten Witches, known as the Moon Goddess and the Mother of All Things, the Female Snail Niangniang." ”

Leng Ranbing nodded lightly, and looked at him with slanted eyes, a little puzzled in his heart, in addition to being proficient in medical skills, did he also know some side ways?

Li Xiaodong does know a little bit about the side door, such as Fu healing, aura healing people and other witch medicine, in today's secular eyes, these are called side door left way, it seems that it can't be put on the table, but in fact, even today's widely spread Taoism is also derived from witchcraft.

In ancient times, witchcraft was officially named Zhu Youshu, or Zhu Youke, which is a branch of white witchcraft, and in the temples of ancient dynasties, there was a special official institution of this kind of official body, which was responsible for praying for blessings, sacrifices, curing diseases, and so on.

Li Xiaodong's talent and vitality and high medical skills all come from the generations of the Li family, but the mountain doctor is destined to divination, this metaphysical five arts are originally a family, and the witchcraft handed down from ancient times has a deep origin, so while he learned the way of medicine since he was a child, he will naturally have some involvement in these so-called "side doors".

Moreover, in addition to the inheritance of his father, Li Xiaodong's mother also has special skills, and the influence on him is also great, thinking that when he was ten years old, it was precisely because his mother was also a special talent that he would be taken away by the ghost and the sorrow with his father, otherwise with the style of the ghost and sorrow organization, there is no interest in collecting and taking away ordinary people.

His mother was actually a witch doctor.
