Chapter 48: Blood Curse
In the next few days, she went to the government with Xing Zhutou as a witness.
The sick villagers were treated by Li Changzhou and Ding Sheng, and Zhuge Ming insisted on taking Qiao Jin away, hoping to make Miss Qiao better with the ancestral medical skills of the Zhuge family.
Subsequently, the villager Guo Shiquan was beheaded for killing the doctor, and the butcher who was hiding behind the scenes was also dealt with in accordance with the law because of his bad intentions.
This incident, which involved the people in the apricot forest, was finally avoided under the benevolence of the healer.
Yongding Riverside.
Xing Zhutou personally sent Liu Ruyan, Shen Yanchu, and Bai Zhi on board.
"A few chivalrous and warm-hearted, Xing has thanked you for the people here." With that, the forked hand bowed deeply.
Bai Zhi's eyebrows are clear and handsome, and he is at the age of high spirits, and he smiled: "As a pharmacist, it is within my duty to diagnose and prescribe medicine, and the eldest brother is polite." β
Xing Tian smiled and looked at Liu Ruyan who was standing at the bow of the boat.
Under the vast sky, the cold wind is skull, and an inconspicuous gray beard coat outlines a slender figure.
Her posture is straight, like a proud cedar, and like a willow supporting the wind, with a bit of heroism, a little free, and the rest is hidden in those spring-like eyes, which are elusive.
Liu Ruyan looked at the waterfowl that swept her wings on the surface of the lake, and dived into the water with all her might, leaving a pool of broken reflections in the end.
She sighed suddenly: "Treating the symptoms but not the root cause, human life is like a mustard." β
Bai Zhi held back her smile and looked at her who spoke amazingly: "Why do you say this?" β
Liu Ruyan's expression was faint: "The people are sick and suffering, and many people are dying." If these patients have access to medical treatment and medicine, why should they imprison doctors at risk? β
Xing Tian's expression was stunned, and he hurriedly explained: "The villages around Yanglinpo are remote and barren, and the villagers rarely have extra money to take to see a doctor, plus the mountain roads are difficult to walk, so it takes months to wait for a Langzhong. β
"In that case, why don't you open up a vacant land at the entrance of the village, set up a medical hall, and set up a medicine hall?"
Xing Tian was dumbfounded: "The villagers can't even take care of food and clothing, let alone spend money on treatment, which hospital dares to come to such a poor and remote place." β
"Then let me ask you, what about the tax money in Jifeng County?" She asked rhetorically.
Xingtian had no choice but to reply: "There is no difference in taxes in various parts of the Han Dynasty. β
"Since the people pay no less than the people, why don't the imperial court allocate silver money to subsidize the poor who can't afford to see a doctor to seek medical treatment?"
"This ......" Xing Tian glanced at Bai Zhi, "how can this be ......?"
Liu Ruyan asked rhetorically: "Why can't this be, taxes, take from the people, and use them for the people." β
"That's what I said." Xing Tian lowered his voice, "But when the Great Han soldiers fight, silver taels and grain and grass are indispensable. β
She smiled sadly: "Most of the most heroic warriors in the Han Dynasty are from Jifeng County. The sons of the family fought on the battlefield, the souls of the heroes were buried in the green mountains, and the body of the horse leather was returned. β
She looked at the tired birds in the sky, and her voice gradually slowed: "But the father and the elder of the family are lingering on the sickbed, the old man has nowhere to go, there is no cure for the disease, he is still breathing, dragging a thin body and waiting for the soul to return to the west. β
When the words fell, they were speechless, and even Bai Zhi fell into a long silence.
"If food can satisfy the stomach, there is a doctor for the sick, and there is the rule of law for evil, why worry about peace." She sighed.
"As Yan said, it is very true." Bai Zhi's eyebrows stretched, "Bai has been painstakingly studying Huang Qi's technique, but as everyone knows, the disease in this world is not just a lack of medical skills, but more of a lack of medical treatment, and no result in asking for medicine." If one day, in the name of the country, our Han can open a medical center, a medicine hall, and help the poor, this will surely usher in a peaceful and prosperous era. β
As his words dissipated, a smile appeared in Liu Ruyan's eyes: "I will wait for the arrival of that day, and from now on the country and the people will be safe, and the world will be peaceful." β
Xingtian stood on the shore: "It seems that Xing is short-sighted, if there is a chance in the future, I am willing to do my best." β
Liu Ruyan saluted him again: "Thank you Xing Zhutou for coming to see him off, today, don't say goodbye." β
"Take care." Bai Zhi also said.
Shen Yanchu glanced at him with a heavy gaze and stepped into the passenger ship first.
Bai Zhi and Liu Ruyan walked into the cabin one after another, looking at Xingtian on the shore from afar.
"Let's get on the boatβ" the boatman shouted, and slowly sailed to the surface.
Thousands of miles of Chengjiang, green peaks like clusters, a lonely boat with the waves.
On the boat, Liu Ruyan handed out the prepared dry food to Bai Zhi and Shen Yanchu. A few people sat around a small cabin, a pot of hot tea on the table, bubbling hot.
The dry food is just some coarse steamed buns, which taste a little astringent, Shen Yanchu holds a pot in one hand, pours nine points of tea into the cup, and only puts it in front of Liu Ruyan after the tea temperature is no longer hot.
She took the tea as usual, moistened her throat, and returned the empty cup to him. Bai Zhi, who was sitting on the side, looked at the two of them with a strange face, shook his head, and poured himself a cup of tea.
Bai Zhi was absent-minded and took a sip of tea, but was so hot that she put down the teacup, covered her face with her sleeves, and couldn't help coughing a few times.
"Why are you so careless." Liu Ruyan hurriedly patted Bai Zhi's back, "This water is still hot, drink it when it's cold." β
She said as she fanned him with her sleeve.
Bai Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, and her face was a little anxious: "Let me come." β
Liu Ruyan still didn't forget to fan it in his hand.
"Let him do it himself." Shen Yanchu spoke indifferently.
There was a momentary stalemate in the atmosphere, and Bai Zhi remembered that men and women were on guard, how dare she let Miss Liu get close.
The reason why he decided to go south with her this time was to fulfill his previous promise, and for this reason, he also specially repaired a letter and sent it to Yao Shengchen, informing him that he was going to travel and that his return date was undecided.
He also learned about Cangshu from Liu Ruyan, however, the yamen never found the murderer.
Bai Zhi sat up straight and said slowly to Liu Ruyan: "I don't know, what Ruyan is asking for is ......"
Her heart moved, she raised her right wrist and put it on the table, her face was no longer as casual as before: "Just half a month ago, I was unfortunately injured when I was fighting with someone, and my yin veins were damaged, so that the internal force of my whole body sank into the sea like a stone, and my true qi dissipated without a trace. β
It is not trivial for a person who practices martial arts to have his meridians damaged.
Bai Zhi's expression became cautious, he stretched out his finger to put his finger on the pulse, and did not make a sound for a long time.
"How's it going?" Seeing that the medicine fairy's face was becoming more and more ugly, Liu Ruyan was inevitably worried.
Bai Zhi raised her eyes: "Have you ever heard of the blood curse?" β
"Blood curse?" She was a little stunned.
Bai Zhi continued: "I also saw relevant records in an ancient pharmaceutical book. Legend has it that it was the Qin Dynasty, which was introduced to the Central Plains by a group of capable people. There are still some blood curses left in the people, such as head-lowering, witchcraft, and puppets. The human bones, blood, hair and other objects of the person being performed are sacrificed to control the life and death of people. β
"But this technique is too yin and evil, and it can't be cured by ordinary medicinal stones." He was silent, and his voice was a little lower, "Your Yin vein is damaged, it is caused by the blood curse, and I can't completely cure this disease." β
"There's no cure." Liu Ruyan looked at the river with a worried look in her eyes.
"The bell must be tied to the bell." Bai Zhi said.
She fell into deep thought, and suddenly, she remembered that when she was imprisoned in Wuwan Mountain, Shen Yanchu wanted to refine her into a puppet, and once put a drop of blood pill in the center of her eyebrows, the blood pill was made of the essence blood of the two of them, which was a blood curse.
At present, only Shen Yanchu can unlock the blood curse for her.
Unexpectedly, the two generations are enemies, and grievances and grievances will never be abandoned, and in the end they will be planted in his hands!
Thinking of Shen Yanchu, she simply asked directly: "Do you still have an impression of puppetry?" β
"Puppetry?" Shen Yan looked puzzled, "You mean, the blood curse you have?" β
Didn't he remember?
Liu Ruyan was surprised, how could the demon forget his best puppet technique.
"If you find the caster, you can unlock her blood curse?" Shen Yanchu suddenly asked Bai Zhi.
Bai Zhi nodded: "If the other party is willing, it will naturally be solved." β
"I'll make him will." Shen Yanchu said.
"Big brother, is this true?" Liu Ruyan was in good spirits and immediately grabbed Brother Shen's hand.
Shen Yanchu wanted to pull out his fingers, but she grabbed them tighter, and a pair of dark eyes stared at him, and his eyes looked a little strange.
"Let it go!" He drank.
Liu Ruyan hurriedly broke his fingers and swore instead: "The sky is above, the sun and the moon are for example, if you meet the one who is cursed in the future, Shen Yanchu will order the other party to lift the blood curse, if not, you will be punished!" β
"Ahem-" Bai Zhi choked on a sip of tea and coughed repeatedly.
Even Ye Xun, who was hidden in Zhihai, couldn't help but complain: "The host's trick is enough damage!" β
Shen Yanchu looked pale and didn't say anything about this poisonous oath.
