Chapter 106: The Genetic Disease of the Lingshui Tribe (1)
By the time they found the sand cucumber, it was already a little late, and Cheng Hao and Yu Mingche wanted to call their daughter-in-law back to Liangzhou City.
But when they heard Mu Xiyun's scream, the two of them quickly glanced at each other and hurriedly ran into the woods.
When they entered the inside, they found that it was not that they encountered any danger, but that a little girl appeared, as for why a little girl could scare Mu Xiyun into screaming, it was because she had a face that was different from ordinary people.
Her face had skin as rough as sandpaper, and there were bulges on it one by one, which was already terrifying, and suddenly appeared in the dense forest, so Mu Xiyun screamed.
"Xiyun, don't be afraid, she should be a child of the surrounding Lingshui tribe, their Lingshui tribe has a genetic disease, and the serious situation is what she looks like." Raya pulled up Mu Xiyun, who had fallen to the ground, and said.
"Sister, don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person, I'm just sick, do you want to find sand ginseng? I've just gotten some out of the woods over there, and I can sell them to you cheaply if you want them. The little girl didn't have any special feelings, and seemed to be used to the attitude of others.
"Okay, you can sell it to us, how much?" Raya walked over with a smile, looked through the sand cucumbers in the basket the girl was carrying, and then said to her.
"It's cheap, just give me thirty copper plates." When the little girl heard that Raya was willing to buy her sand ginseng, she spoke.
"Twenty! Girl, do you know that if you sell these sand cucumbers in Liangzhou City, it will cost at least ten taels of silver? Raya said in surprise when she heard the price.
"My mother is sick, my brother is home alone, I have to go back to cook for them quickly, I can't go to Liangzhou City, I usually dig up sand cucumbers and sell them to dealers, and it is generally a little more expensive than this." The little girl said with some embarrassment.
"Raya, it should be that the dealer made the middle price difference, and the real diggers generally can't make any money." Wuwei heard their conversation and walked over to talk.
"Little sister, you said that these are genetic diseases on your face, can you let me take a look?" Mu Xiyun listened to the conversation between the little girl and Raya, and said to her with some distress.
"Xiyun, she has a genetic disease, it seems that many people in their Lingshui tribe will get it, and as they get older, there will be more and more." Raya also said on the side.
Mu Xiyun didn't speak, just walked next to the little girl, then raised her face and looked at it carefully, grabbed her hand again, and touched her pulse.
"Well, it seems to be just the effect of the skin, everything else is normal." Mu Xiyun said after feeling her pulse.
"Sister, can you cure my illness?" The little girl asked innocently at Mu Xiyun.
"Sister can cure it, but you have to tell me what your name is first?" Mu Xiyun bent down, touched her head affectionately and said.
"Sister, my name is Adan, please help me cure my mother's illness, she is very serious now, and she can't open her mouth." As soon as the little girl heard that Mu Xiyun could cure their illness, she quickly knelt down and said to Mu Xiyun with tears in her eyes.
"Adan, why don't you ask me to cure your illness first?" Mu Xiyun asked a little unbearably.
"Sister, my father died very early, there is only my mother in the family, me and a younger brother, now my mother's illness is serious, I can only rely on me to dig sand ginseng and sell it for some food, if my mother is gone, I will have no mother." Adan cried and said.
Mu Xiyun was a little embarrassed, if he went to their Lingshui tribe now, he might not be able to return to Liangzhou City, so he could only look at a few men behind.
Yu Mingche was a little embarrassed, he didn't want Mu Xiyun to spend his spiritual power to heal and save people again, but Adan was really pitiful.
"Okay, let's not go back to Liangzhou today, let's go directly to the Lingshui tribe, I heard that their tribe's sand snake soup is really a must." Cheng Hao said with a smile.
He glanced at Yu Mingche, and Yu Mingche also understood, these two women were very stubborn, if they didn't open their mouths to go to Lingshui today, it was estimated that they wouldn't be able to stop it.
"Then let's go, I'm still hungry." Wuwei is a human spirit, seeing such a situation, he quickly said with a smile.
Hearing them say this, Mu Xiyun and Laya happily took Adan's hand and walked out of the dense forest, and Wuwei hugged Adan to his horse, preparing to go to the Lingshui tribe.
After walking for an hour or so, in the evening, they arrived at the camp of the Lingshui tribe, and after Cheng Hao arrived, he took Yu Mingche and Wuwei to the elder's tent to meet them, while Mu Xiyun and Raya followed Adan back to her residence.
Originally, she had been mentally prepared for the condition of Adan Niang, but when she entered the tent, Mu Xiyun still gasped, Adan Niang's face was already covered with lumps, and now her whole face was deformed, and her eyes and mouth could not be opened.
"A-Niang, I brought back two sisters, and they said they could cure your illness." As soon as Adan came back, he lay on the side of his mother's bed and said.
Her mother could no longer speak, but waved her hand at them as a token of gratitude.
Mu Xiyun didn't delay, walked over directly, took her hand, and touched her pulse.
"The situation is more serious than Adan's, it has already hurt the heart, but the good thing is that there is no worry about life for the time being." After Mu Xiyun finished reading, he said to Raya.
"Sister, please help my mother heal her illness, and I will repay your kindness by being a cow and a horse for you in the future!" When Adan heard Mu Xiyun's words, he knelt down again and said to them.
Wuwei walked into the tent and called them to go to the patriarch for dinner, the two of them walked out, and Wuwei went to the outside of the patriarch's tent, they had already cooked sand ginseng and snake soup, and the fragrance could be smelled from afar.
"Today, the lord and the princess are here in person, and our Lingshui tribe has nothing good to entertain, only a little stewed soup and pheasants hunted during the day, please don't dislike it, just use some." The patriarch said enthusiastically to their group.
Mu Xiyun carefully observed the patriarch's face, which was also covered with thick lumps, but the situation was not as serious as that of Adan Niang.
Mu Xiyun sat next to Yu Mingche, he took off his cloak and put it on her, and then handed her a bowl of steaming sand snake soup, but Mu Xiyun kept thinking about the illness of the Lingshui tribe.
"Patriarch, when did the people of your tribe start getting this disease?"
"Hey, madam, don't you know, we have angered the gods, we have been punished, almost a hundred years have passed, this disease is getting more and more serious, and the children born before have some good looks, basically every child has it over the years." As soon as the patriarch mentioned these things, he sighed heartbrokenly.
"Celestial punishment? Why do the gods punish your people? Wu Wei continued to ask beside him.
It turns out that the scale of the Lingshui tribe is much more than this a hundred years ago, when a young patriarch hunted a wolf god for the sake of his clan, and then he was cursed by the wolf god, and everyone had to suffer from this disease, life after life, and eternity.
