Chapter 044: Peach Blossom Gu (1)
"Girl, I'm not a demon, I'm really not a demon." In the Baicao Hall, a person shrank in the corner with his back to Nan Jinyi and waved his hand repeatedly.
"Whether it's a demon or a disease, you have to let Miss Nan show you." Qin Ye dragged the man to Nan Jinyi: "With Miss Nan's proof, those people can let you go." You don't want to be treated like a monster by them, so let's kill you. β
Qin Ye said, deliberately glancing out of the door.
There were many people crowded outside the door, most of them to see the excitement.
The man covered his head and tried his best to get rid of Qin Ye and squat in the corner. Seeing this, Nan Jinyi signaled that Qin Ye didn't have to be embarrassed for him, walked to the corner of the wall, and said softly: "I know you're not a monster, you're sick, let me see." β
"I'm afraid to scare the girl." The man shrank down again at the base of the wall.
"I'm a doctor, and I've never seen any kind of illness." Nan Jinyi stepped back, gave Qin Ye a look, and asked Qin Ye to pull his arm down.
Most of the man's hair fell out, and something seemed to grow under his scalp, forming small bumps. The scalp is red and covered with marks from a man's scratches. Nan Jinyi only glanced at it and made a judgment, got up and grabbed the medicine.
There is an old folk saying that in the first half of the night, the ghost presses the bed, and when he wakes up, the ghost shaves his head, and the man's head is shaved by the ghost. This ghost is not the kind that ordinary people understand, but a disease, which has something to do with not sleeping well in the middle of the night.
Hai Ai, parsnip, peppermint, and Huoxiang are all medicines for treating ghost shaved heads, Nan Jinyi carefully prepared according to the prescription, and threw the packaged medicine bag into Qin Ye's hand: "This money, Qin Zhutou will give it?" β
"The girl is really joking, where do I have the money to catch a little fast? Besides, I haven't paid it this month. Otherwise, the girl will keep an account first, and go back to our family. β
"I don't dare go to your family." Nan Jinyi stretched out his hand: "My store is small, and I don't take credit." β
Qin Ye glanced at the man, and reluctantly took out a few grains of broken silver from the placket: "It's really difficult to be a head catcher!" β
"No matter how difficult it is, it's better than me, the little shopkeeper who runs a store." Nan Jinyi accepted the silver, turned to the man and said: "Take six bowls of water and fry them with the medicine, bring the water to boil and put them in a wooden basin, smoke the noodles with hot air first, and then dip them in a cotton cloth to wash, three times a day, and avoid the wind after washing." Remember, don't eat fishy, spicy things. β
After that, he gave the man the broken silver that Qin Ye had just given her: "Remember, the money for the medicine was given by Qin Zhutou, and I will pay him back in the future." β
The man was grateful, and thanked Qin Ye again and again.
Qin Ye was a little embarrassed, cleared his throat and walked to the door, and said to the people who were still watching: "You have heard, he is not a monster, he is just sick." It's okay, don't spread the rumor, if one of you accidentally kills someone as a monster, one of you counts as one, and you all have to go back to the yamen with me. β
Nan Jinyi said those words, they also heard it, and when they heard Qin Ye say this, they each bowed their heads and discussed it before they dispersed.
After Qin Ye left, Nan Jinyi found a new silk book and simply recorded the affairs of Dongze Township. Qin Xiaodie and the old beggar are both hard-working people, and they are both monsters who are not human and demonic because they are too obsessed. Qin Xiaodie's obsession lies with her mother, she wants her mother to come back to life, and she wants to get a real maternal love from her biological mother that she has not had since she was born. The old beggar's obsession lies in hatred, he resents his father, resents his fate, and wants to punish the old monk in this way of eternal life.
Nan Jinyi didn't know how the Taoist priest did it, and before she could ask him clearly, he died, bitten apart by the locusts that poured out of his own body. Nan Jinyi has seen similar symptoms, and the medical book calls it "Gu".
Putting pen to paper on the word "Gu", Nan Jinyi's heart moved, and he turned to the relevant medical books.
As soon as he turned to the record of "Gu", the Birch bird flapped its wings and flew in.
The old woman, who claimed to be surnamed Xu, had come from Linquan County next door. The one who followed her was their young lady, who was suffering from a strange illness and had come to see her.
Nan Jinyi first helped the girl check the pulse and confirmed that the girl's pulse was normal. Looking at her face again, her face was ruddy, like a peach blossom, and there was no sign of illness. She asked the girl what was wrong with her, and she shook her head first, and then said; "I didn't get sick, but I felt that something was missing in my heart, a little uncomfortable, and I couldn't sit still."
Before the girl finished speaking, the old woman hurriedly added: "My young lady used to be lively and cheerful, but since the incident, the young lady has been depressed, and always seems to have something on her mind. Asked Miss, Miss couldn't tell herself. Seeing that the young lady was annoyed day by day, she inquired and begged the girl. I heard that the girl is the best in traditional Chinese medicine in Anping County, and I asked the girl to save my young lady. β
The old woman hid her face and wept as she spoke, "The girl doesn't know that my young lady hasn't slept for ten days. β
"Ten days?" Nan Jinyi checked the girl's pulse again: "Miss, this pulse doesn't look like she hasn't slept for ten days." β
"The nurse is not lying, I have not slept for ten days." The girl whispered: "Don't say sleep peacefully, I haven't even dozed off." β
"You have a ruddy complexion, and you don't look like a sleepless person." Nan Jinyi repeatedly confirmed: "Did Miss ignore anything?" β
The girl pursed her lips lightly and hesitated: "Although I have never fallen asleep, I have been in a daze for a long time, always for a while." When I was in a daze, I seemed to have entered another place, where there was not only my father, but also my mother. There is not only a nurse, but also a ......"
"What else?" Nan Jinyi asked, smelling a hint of an unusual smell.
"There's also a husband." The girl blushed: "A husband who is particularly handsome and very good to me." β
"Miss has a sweetheart?"
"Never?" Knowing what Nan Jinyi was guessing, the girl hurriedly retorted: "I don't have a favorite person!" My father did mention to the nurse that he would give me a family affair when I was eighteen years old, but I didn't ask him about the details. My father loved me very much, and the nurse also said that he would never choose a family business for me, just let me wait. β
"Did the young lady ever imagine what her future husband would look like?"
The girl shook her head: "I'm not very concerned about getting married, whether I marry or not, and who I marry, it doesn't make a difference to me." β
"Girl, this isβ"
"People like us pay attention to the right people, and my father chose for me, not necessarily what I like, but it must be suitable for me. She said, I just need to learn to be a good housewife. The girl pinched her hand: "My mother is suitable to marry my father, but she didn't control her heart, she fell in love with my father, but my father didn't like her." She is the young lady of the Xu family, but she is not the sweetheart of the young master of the Xu family. My mother died depressed. The nurse loves me and is afraid that I will follow my mother's old path. β
The girl raised her head and looked at Nan Jinyi: "I am sensible, so I will teach me not to move at will." β
