Chapter 25: Attracting Evil Spirits
Gu Sihan has always admired his master, thinking that since he is a person who even praises his master, then there is absolutely no medical skills, so he strongly suggested to his father that he go to southern Xinjiang to find this master's friend. Gu's father was so anxious that he couldn't sleep for a few days and nights, and when he saw that there was really no other way, he listened to his son.
It's just that this southern Xinjiang is far away, and I was afraid that my daughter wouldn't be able to wait, so I simply took two of the best doctors and a few skilled mages with my daughter and accompanied my daughter to fly straight to southern Xinjiang.
I just inquired around the local area, and only got the very sad news that the miracle doctor was said to have left home half a year ago, and no one knew where he went. For the Gu family, this is tantamount to a bolt from the blue. Especially for Gu Sihan, it is even more unacceptable. It was all after listening to his advice, the family took his sister thousands of miles to this wild mountain, if he caused his sister to die in the end, then he would not be able to forgive himself for the rest of his life.
At this moment, they heard from the locals that there was a place called Maobi Village in the depths of the mountains, where there lived a woman surnamed Bai, who was said to have very magical abilities. The Gu family was also sick and rushed to the doctor, and with the mentality of giving it a try, the group went straight to the mountains.
It's just that it turned out to be a closed door again. When they arrived in the village, they learned that the woman surnamed Bai, who was passed down by word of mouth among the mountain people, had died decades earlier, and that her only granddaughter had left the village with a man more than a decade earlier.
When I heard this, I couldn't help but be taken aback, and asked, "Is that granddaughter of the Bai family called Bai Mei?" ”
Gu Sihan was stunned for a moment and said, "It seems to be called Baimei, do you know her?" In a flash of ecstasy, he grabbed my arm violently, "Do you know where she is?" Hurry up and tell me! ”
I inhaled the cold air in pain, told him to let go quickly, shook his head and said, "She's been dead for a long time." ”
Gu Sihan let go of his hand and remained silent. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
When I saw his lost look, I couldn't help but feel a little unbearable, and said, "Can I go and see your sister?" "What I think in my heart is that the little girl of the Gu family is sick, there is just the third uncle and the dead man's face, these two old foxes are deeply hidden, maybe there can be some ways to do it.
Gu Sihan's eyes were red, and he nodded and said of course it was okay, but he hesitated a little before leaving, and said, "My sister's appearance is a little scary now, you ......"
I reassured him that it would be fine. Let's go, the two of us climbed down the rocky slope, judging from Gu Sihan's climbing movements, it is indeed after long-term training, very flexible and skillful.
Soon we descended to the ravine, and the few who were keeping watch from place to place stood up alertly. After seeing that it was Gu Sihan, he smiled and nodded, and looked at me suspiciously.
Gu Sihan waved his hand and said, "This is my friend." "Let them not care. And every man returned to you, and kept his place.
Soon arrived at the tent, Gu Sihan nodded at me and led me to open the curtain and go in. As soon as I got to the door, I smelled a pungent stench. I could easily tell it was a corpse stench.
After looking around, I saw that there were many people standing inside, and looking at the dress, I could see that two of them were about doctors. In addition, there was a person wearing a Taoist robe, a person wearing a melon skin hat, and a person wearing sackcloth, and when these three people stood there, they could feel an aura of an abnormal person, probably the mage invited by the Gu family was first-class.
In addition to these five people, there were three other people in the house. One of the middle-aged men was tall, with thick eyebrows and a broad nose, and he stood there with his hands behind his back frowning and contemplative, not angry and arrogant. The other, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, was handsome, slightly shorter than the man before, and probably a few years younger, and was whispering to a dignified-looking beautiful woman next to him.
Gu Sihan whispered to me to introduce it. It turned out that this man with great courage was Gu Sihan's father, his second uncle who wore glasses, and the other beautiful woman was his aunt.
I grew up in a small mountain village, although I usually mix with the third uncle is more wild, but since going to school, Mr. Tian has also taught us some etiquette issues, thought about it, stepped forward and called respectfully: "Two uncles, aunt is good!" ”
Father Gu was pondering, and was awakened by me, and glanced at me with raised eyebrows, as if he was a little surprised. Gu Sihan immediately introduced me, saying that he was a friend he had just met and wanted to visit his sister.
Father Gu nodded at me and said with a smile: "My son has a very high vision, and it is rare to bring back friends." The voice was thick and hoarse, apparently tired these days, "but my daughter's illness ...... Truly...... It's a little scary. ”
I immediately understood that this Uncle Gu was afraid that I would be scared, so he hurriedly said that it was okay, I had seen a lot of strange diseases in the countryside, and I wanted to come and see if I could help.
As soon as I finished speaking, someone interjected, "No! This kid is not afraid now, don't go in and scream in fright, don't startle the young lady at that time! ”
I turned my head to see that it was the one who wore a melon-skin hat, a thin old man, with two goatees on his mouth, and looked very shrewd. Before I could speak, Gu Sihan was unhappy at first: "Master Wang, how do you know that my friend is blowing nonsense?" ”
Although Gu Sihan was young, in front of Gu's father, the melon skin hat didn't dare to stiffen with him, and smiled wryly. Father Gu said in a deep voice: "Xiao Han, don't be rude to Master Wang, apologize quickly." ”
Although Gu Sihan was a little unconvinced, it was obvious that his father was deeply powerful on weekdays, and he bowed his head and said to the melon skin hat: "I'm sorry Master Wang." The melon skin hat laughed a few words and said that he didn't dare to be.
There were a few people left, and the one in the robe was a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a big beard, and his head held high all the time, and he only glanced at me when I came in, and then ignored me again. The other one in sackcloth, at first glance, looked like an old farmer, wearing a pair of cloth shoes, and kept his eyes and nose and his heart in silence.
As for the two doctors, they all suggested that they should not let me go, and that Miss's current condition is not something that children can see. However, the second uncle of the Gu family smiled and said, "Since Xiao Han said that there is no problem, there should be no problem." ”
Seeing that Gu's father also nodded, the beautiful woman lifted the gauze curtain, and as I walked a few steps closer, the smell of corpses became stronger and stronger. I saw that the two doctors, as well as the melon skin hat and the Taoist priest, all frowned, probably a little unable to bear the stench, but the old farmer in linen was still expressionless.
Gu Sihan pulled me worriedly and asked me in a low voice if I had any problems. I said it was okay, and walked to the bed, and saw a little girl in a pink and white dress lying on the bed, with short hair that reached her ears, but her original appearance was no longer visible, her face was blue, her lips were black, her exposed cheeks, neck, arms and calves were full of black spots, and there were dark purple markings in the form of clouds, and many parts had begun to rot, exuding a strong smell of corpses.
If it weren't for Gu Sihan saying in advance that his sister was still alive, this would simply be a corpse that had begun to decompose. In comparison, Lin Wenjing and Liu Nan at the beginning were more like a living person than her.
In the face of this disgusting corpse smell and extremely terrifying corpse spots, ordinary people may not be able to hold on for half a minute at all, and they will either vomit or flee. But for me, who has been working with corpses since I was a child, it was nothing. I've seen more corpses, more terrible, more disgusting.
I turned to Father Gu and said, "Uncle, I want to check on my sister, is that okay?" ”
At this time, the eyes of the whole room were focused on me, and their faces were full of astonishment, especially the melon skin hat and the two doctors, with unbelievable expressions, probably never seen a freak like me who could not change his face in such a strong corpse stench. Even the old farmer in Mai, who had been silent, turned his head to look at me.
Father Gu was stunned for a moment and said, "Yes." ”
I took out a thin pair of gloves from my pocket and put them on, pressed them to the little girl's neck, and probed the little girl's neck, and there was indeed a pulse, though it was so faint, so faint that if I didn't pay special attention, I wouldn't even notice it.
I rolled the little girl's eyelids and leaned in to take a closer look. Her pupils had shrunk into pinpoint shapes, and her entire eyeball was gray. Generally speaking, the eyes of a corpse do not change much after death, and the pupils cannot shrink into pinpoint shapes.
In front of her family, I couldn't take off her skirt, I could only check her exposed parts. Those dark purple markings in the form of clouds are indeed corpse spots, and there is nothing wrong with them. It's weird, it's the first time I've seen corpse spots on a living person.
I got up and took off my gloves. Gu Sihan came up to me and asked, "Have you ever seen a similar disease?" ”
I looked around the room, hesitated, and said, "It's a bit like you're calling for evil, but...... It's not very much like ......."
I was indeed confused. The evil spirits I am talking about are also commonly known as "rushing to the body" and "ghost upper body". This kind of is especially common in the countryside, and some people with weak yang qi are not suitable for appearing at the funeral scene, because it is easy to be exposed to the soul of the deceased who has just died. My family has been in this business for so long, and naturally I have encountered a lot of ghost things.
Some of the milder forms of the disease are gibberish and delirious, which is medically called hysteria, which means neuropathy. Those who are serious will even be directly unconscious, the water and rice will not enter, and the pupils will be strangely retracted into a needle tip.
"Evil spirits? You dare to say anything! As soon as I finished speaking, the Taoist priest who had been holding his head high sneered and said, "Do you think that all of us eat dry rice?" Who in the world has ever seen such an evil spirit? ”
The melon skin hat also snorted and said, "Little friend, don't pretend to understand here." Several people here are all big experts, who can't tell a ghost from the body? ”
I really don't know what happened to this little girl from the Gu family, and I can't refute it. Father Gu said: "Xiaojing, you and Xiaohan go out to rest first, just get your mind there." ”
Gu Sihan was also gloomy, pulled me, and led me out of the tent. I walked a few steps with my head down and said to him, "You wait here, I'll go find someone." After speaking, he went straight to the rocky slope, Gu Sihan shouted a few times behind him, but I didn't look back, just asked him to wait for me here.
