Chapter 73: Solving the Mystery (2)
"Fa'er, don't say that, he is a little miracle doctor, and he will definitely cure your illness."
After saying that, the village chief Ding brought a chair from the hall and put it on the side of the bed, and let Ding Yiguang sit.
After Ding Yiguang sat down, he said to Wang Jinfa very politely: "Ah Fa, please stretch out your right hand and give me a pulse, okay?" ”
Wang Jinfa, who was lying on the bed, heard Ding Yiguang's kind voice, his lips moved, and without saying anything, he obediently stretched out his right hand from the quilt.
Ding Yiguang finished taking the pulse, and then asked Wang Jinfa to open his mouth and stick out his tongue to take a closer look: "How did you feel when you had dinner recently?" ”
"To ...... When it's time to eat, see ...... When I saw those meals, I didn't have any appetite at all. Wang Jinfa's voice replied in a very weak voice, like a gossamer about to break in the wind.
Village Chief Ding shook his head and said, "I asked someone to stew pangolins, turtledoves and other mountain things for him to eat, and I smelled that the soup was fragrant, but he had no appetite and didn't want to eat it." ”
Wang Jinfa seemed to have a stomach full of grievances, and defended: "My stomach is indeed very hungry, but for some reason, I want to vomit when I see those things, how can I eat?" ”
Ding Yiguang frowned and pondered: "This ......"
"What disease does my son have?" Village Chief Ding pointed to his son and asked Ding Yiguang anxiously.
After some looking, smelling, asking, and cutting, Ding Yiguang had already understood the cause of Wang Jinfa's illness for three points, and replied: "You see that his face is so pale, and his tongue is white and thick, this is obvious anemia, and it is severe anemia. ”
"Ugh." Village Chief Ding sighed and said, "Some Lang Zhong also said the same thing after checking his pulse. What medicine can you prescribe? ”
"A few years ago, in order to cure the skin disease of my third sister-in-law in my village, I went to Tianlu Mountain to pick mountain herbs, and I saw a lot of southern medicine." Ding Yiguang recalled.
Village Chief Ding couldn't wait to ask, "Then have you seen any mountain herbs to cure my child's illness?" ”
Ding Yiguang nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Village Chief Ding said excitedly: "Then, I will go up the mountain with you to pick." ”
Ding Yiguang said: "Village Chief Ding, you take care of Ah Fa at home, and I will go up the mountain to pick mountain herbs." ”
"I'll go with you, and one more person will take care of each other." At this time, Ding Hanwei, the nephew of the village chief Ding, heard the news, just heard their words, looked at Ding Yiguang, and said with concern.
Ding Yiguang saw that Wang Jinwei was reasonable, so he was embarrassed to refuse, nodded, and said, "Okay then." After that, he carried Wang Zhifen back to the west room to rest first, and then went out with Ding Hanwei with the bamboo basket.
Village Chief Ding stood outside the gate of the compound and said loudly to Ding Yiguang and Ding Hanwei: "Ah Hui, Ah Wei, you must pay attention to safety, I am preparing meals at home and waiting for you to come back." ”
Ding Yiguang turned his head, waved his hand to Village Chief Ding, and said loudly: "Okay! Village Chief, don't worry. ”
After Ding Yiguang and Ding Hanwei left, after the village chief Ding instructed the figurines to prepare a table of meals, he was always restless when he sat at home, and from time to time he walked out of the high pier at the entrance of the village, rested his hand on his forehead, and looked into the distance. It wasn't until the shadow of the sun was slanting and the sky was darkening that Ding Yiguang and Ding Hanwei came back with a basket full of mountain herbs.
Village Chief Ding hurriedly rushed forward, but because he was walking too quickly, he stumbled on a stone under his feet, and staggered forward. Ding Yiguang's eyes were quick, and he rushed forward with an arrow step, reaching out to support him.
Village Chief Ding asked Ding Yiguang, "Have you picked all those medicines?" ”
Ding Yiguang patted the bamboo basket, nodded and said, "I picked it." ”
Village Chief Ding: "That's great! That's great! ”
After Ding Yiguang and Wang Jinwei entered the compound with Village Chief Ding, Village Chief Ding said with concern: "Ah Hui, put down the bamboo basket first, wash your hands and eat." I see that you have picked most of the Tianshan herbs, and you are all tired. ”
Ding Yiguang put down the bamboo basket, wiped the sweat on his forehead with his shirt sleeve, and then poured those mountain herbs on the ground, and said to the village chief Ding: "This is raspberry, this is black fungus...... These mountain herbs are used to cure anemia. ”
Village Chief Ding and Wang Jinwei listened attentively on the side, nodding their heads from time to time, and making a "um, um" response sound from their mouths.
Ding Yiguang didn't care about being hungry, so he first divided these mountain herbs into seven parts, taught Village Chief Ding how to decoction, and then how to give it to Wang Jinfa.
"Okay, I'll do as you tell me tonight." After dinner, Ding Yiguang personally demonstrated, cooked the mountain herbs, and gave them to Wang Jinfa to drink.
After a bag of cigarettes, Wang Jinfa's face had improved, and he had an appetite.
Ding Yiguang asked the village chief Ding to tell the cook to cook a bowl of soup powder and put some shredded meat and chopped green onions for Wang Jinfa to eat.
After Wang Jinfa drank the bowl of soup powder and even the soup, Ding Yiguang's mother and son got up and went back to the west room to rest.
After a few days, Wang Jinfa took five or six doses of medicine in a row, and his spirit seemed to be better, and his drowsiness was not as serious as before.
But it can be seen that Wang Jinfa's illness has not been fundamentally cured, Ding Yiguang shook his head helplessly and sighed.
Seeing Ding Yiguang's demeanor, Village Chief Ding hurriedly stepped forward to comfort: "Ah Hui, don't blame yourself, Fa'er has taken your medicine, and she is much better than before, and she wants to eat the rice." ”
At breakfast the next day, the village chief Ding told Ding Yiguang straight to the point: "Ah Hui, Fa'er was fine yesterday, but for some reason, in the second half of the night, there was a cry of wild ghosts outside, and Fa'er was so frightened that she got into the quilt and curled up tremblingly, not daring to move. ”
"Ah......" Ding Yiguang remembered that when Village Chief Ding first met, he had mentioned that Wang Jinfa was afraid to call "there is a ghost" at night, thinking that this was his nightmare nonsense, so he didn't take it to heart.
Hearing what Fa'er said, I listened carefully, and sure enough, the cry of a child came from outside the village. I forced my composure and walked out of the entrance of Fengshan Village, and there were indeed bursts of cries from wild ghosts. Village Chief Ding said.
Ding Yiguang looked at Village Chief Ding with surprised eyes and asked, "Village Chief Ding, did you really hear the cry of the wild ghost?" ”
"I heard it clearly last night, the cry of the wild ghost came faintly from the dark mountain stream, you can't help but believe it!" Village Chief Ding recalled.
Ding Yiguang asked again: "Village Chief Ding, is that wild ghost's cry really like a child's cry?" ”
"Yes, Ah Hui, the cries of those little ghosts are really terrifying and creepy......" Village Chief Ding said with palpitations.
Ding Yiguang touched his head and said, "Is it really that serious?" ”
"Yes, what child would run to Longtan in the middle of the day to cry?" Village Chief Ding said inexplicably.
After the sun came out, the village chief of Ding, who had not slept all night, dared to go out and went to the village to ask from door to door.
"In the middle of the night last night, I got up and unhooked my hands and suddenly heard the cry of a child from Longtan, so scared that I didn't even pee, so I went to the house, it was too scary."
"yes, I was so scared that I locked the door tighter. My children were so scared that they hugged me all night before they could sleep. ”
“……”
After listening to Wang Cun's thoughtful narration, Ding Yiguang lowered his head and pondered, touching his memories of a past incident when he was in Jizuiyan.
After thinking about it for a while, he naturally had some speculation in his heart, and said to Village Chief Ding: "Have you gone to Longtan to find out?" ”
"I asked the boldest family in the family, Lei Leopard, to find out. But as soon as he left the village, when he heard the cry, he was so frightened that he even pulled down his pee. Village Chief Ding shook his head and said.
"Could it be ......" Ding Yiguang said this, and stopped talking again.
Seeing that Ding Yiguang wanted to speak and stopped, Village Chief Ding asked strangely: "Ah Hui, could it be what it is?" ”
"I didn't ...... It's nothing ......" Ding Yiguang knew that it would be futile to tell him now, so he waved his hand and replied.
Village Chief Ding said inexplicably: "Ah Hui, what's wrong with you?" ”
Ding Yiguang's eyes lit up a few times: "I'll go to Longtan in the middle of the night tonight to check it, and there will naturally be an answer then." ”
Village Chief Ding asked in astonishment: "You go to Longtan in the middle of the night, aren't you afraid of ghosts?" ”
Ding Yiguang laughed: "I'm afraid of ghosts? I think the devil is afraid of me. ”
Village Chief Ding was concerned: "Do you want to bring any weapons for self-defense?" ”
"Weapons? No! Ding Yiguang waved his hand, "You just need to prepare a torch for me." Village Chief Ding, do you dare to go with me? ”
Village Chief Ding pondered for a while, and finally made up his mind: "Okay, for the sake of my precious son's life, even if I fight for my old life, I will go with you." ”
Ding Yiguang looked at Village Chief Ding and said, "If you are willing to go with me, just ask a few bold people in the village to follow us, if there is anything, it is easy to take care of it." ”。
Village Chief Ding lowered his head and thought about it, and muttered, "The two nephews in the village, Ah Qiang and Ah Wei, should be the most courageous...... "Village Chief Ding raised his head and said loudly, "Okay, let them go together tonight!" ”
Ding Yiguang nodded and said, "Then it's decided." ”
