The doctor said that it was highly toxic, and it was not enough to just take medicine and rub medicine. But she only had 15 yuan on her, and when she came, she brought 5 yuan, and only spent 1 yuan on the bus, and now it was noon, and she was hungry, so she walked out of the hospital and ate 1.5 yuan of hot dry noodles at a simple food stall on the street, and then returned to the hospital for hanging injections.

Before the hanging money, pay 2.5 yuan for the test injection, and the nurse has to wait for a quarter of the needle to observe, if she is allergic, she can not be slinged injection.

These processes, what impressed her the most was the payment, and there was only 11 yuan left on her body, and she thought vigorously: It's really unlucky, touch that damn hedgehog and get poison gas. It seems that the money from selling hedgehogs has been overused, and it is not known whether the root of the scrapie can be cut off. She was worried about the itch, and the itch really haunted her.

She hung the needle for three hours, the sun was already in the west, her body was still faintly itchy, and when she came home to swallow pills and potion, she still tossed and turned at night, and she couldn't sleep well. The husband simply slept in a separate bed with her, not because he disliked his wife, but because he was afraid that he would also get itchy and the family would have no money to treat it.

A few days later, the balls were swallowed and the ointment was exhausted. After washing the body with warm water, there were still red bumps like toad skin on the skin, which hurt and itched lightly, and pus was still in some parts. At this time, my mother-in-law came to see and said that this poisonous gas is really powerful, and Western medicine may not be able to cure it, so it is better to find a Chinese medicine doctor to take a look and prescribe some Chinese medicine to decoction and wash, maybe it will have an effect. Liu Mei asked Wang Meng to take her to Hou Pei, a famous Chinese medicine doctor in the town.

Hou Pei saw her symptoms and said that his pharmacy only had decoction water to drink, not decoction and washing, so he made a list of names of medicinal materials such as willow leaves, calamus, and neem seeds, and asked her to dig in the wild. But this is summer, there is no neem seed at all, neem seed is only available in autumn, Wang Meng asked this question, Hou Pei looked for it in the medicine cabinet, but he couldn't find it, he said: There is no neem seed, but the effect is slightly worse.

At this moment, Wang Meng and Liu Mei thanked Hou Pei and walked out of the pharmacy. The sun was scorching outside, and Liu Mei, who was so hot that her body was uncomfortable, walked to the side of the road with tree shade. Wang Meng found a willow tree by the ditch in front of him, so he hurried over to pick willow leaves, and picked a lot of willow leaves, Liu Mei also came, she pulled a thin and soft rattan in the thorn bush by the roadside, and tied the willow leaves. Wang Meng said that now I will send calamus, I will look for it by the ditch, you stand under this willow tree to rest in the shade!

Where can Liu Mei be idle? Carrying a small bundle of willow leaves, he searched for the green grass on the side of the mountain, and Wang Meng was still exploring by the ditch, but he could not find it, and he suddenly thought that the iris does not grow on the edge of the ditch, but generally grows on the shore of a shallow lake. Yes, there is a Mashi Lake on the other side of the mountain, because the shape of the lake is like a horse, and the grass on the lake is like a lion's hair, so the locals call it that.

Leading to Mashi Lake is a wide loess road that connects a mountain range with thorns and miscellaneous trees, and green masson pines growing in between. Liu Mei followed the loess road up the mountain, her husband had already crossed the mountain quickly, and his figure was gradually obscured by a large tree with lush foliage.

Standing on the mountain, Liu Mei felt hot and stuffy, the blue and cloudless sky was dominated by the sun, and the air seemed to be surrounded and spread by a dark fire, she felt that it was difficult to walk, her forehead was already sweaty, and her whole body was itching uncomfortably, she could not help herself scratching or rubbing on the itchy parts, and looking at the green branches of a pine tree in the forest holding up the cone-shaped light red spikes, how I hope that it is also a medicine for itching! But she didn't understand its medicinal properties, it was just an unrealistic delusion.

Suddenly, three men appeared in the forest, walking towards the loess road where Liu Mei was walking, all bald, wearing robes, obviously monks, two of them were older, one fat and one thin, they could be called old men, the fat face had obvious age spots, the thin face was full of wrinkles, and a young monk carried the luggage, walking very smoothly. At their feet is a forest bird path that leads to the loess road.

When Liu Mei saw someone coming, her itchy hand stopped moving, even if it was uncomfortable, she endured it. She retreated to the shade under a stout pine tree in front of her, which was like a green umbrella that held the sun in the air like raindrops, and although it was hot under the pine, it was more comfortable than being exposed to the sun.

There was no good place to sit here, she stood, hoping that the three monks would hurry up and walk over, but the three monks went on the loess road, but they walked very slowly, their eyes were always staring at the ground, as if they were looking for something, which made Liu Mei have a sense of curiosity, what are they looking for? On the loess road, there are only messy rotten leaves, gravel and dirt, as well as the green leaves of the yellow trees that have fallen shortly away, which have been wilted and curled by the sun.

Amitabha! A little monk suddenly put down his burden and quickly moved one foot away, and an ant was trampled half to death, half of its limbs still moving, while the other half of its limbs were broken and stuck to a grain of sand. The little monk looked at it, showed a look of repentance, and reverently folded his palms and recited several Buddha names, hoping to surpass this poor ant.

The fat monk looked at him and reproached: "Little novice, go slowly, don't step on the reptiles on the road." Reptiles also have spirituality, they suffer in the reincarnation of the animal path, we must know how to pity the living beings in the Buddha's door, and do not add suffering to them, Amitabha!

Di listened to the three monks speak, Liu Mei thought it was quite interesting, she stood under the pine tree on the side of the road, peeping at them casually walking by, the fat monk still had a string of Buddhist beads hanging around his neck, he twisted it with his hand, his lips were moving, as if he was chanting, but the voice was very small, Liu Mei could not hear. They walked a few meters forward, Liu Mei quietly followed, these three monks were very interesting, walked so far away, no one looked back.

This gave Liu Mei a sense of security, she could tickle freely, and it was also strange that she only scratched it twice, and her body was not very itchy, although the heat emitted by the scorching sun was still very hot, but she seemed to have forgotten about it, and had a sense of curiosity about the monks, because this was the first time she had met them, and she began to hate their strange appearance in her heart, and when she really saw it, she changed her mood, and they were all kind and kind, and she could conclude that they were definitely good people.

She followed behind, up a gentle slope, to the highest part of the mountain, you can see the Mashi Lake under the mountain, the lake is full of green calamus, the center of the lake is clear like a blue mirror. Liu Mei's man was bending down to pull clumps of iris in the shallow lake. Liu Mei was a little excited, and wanted to walk downhill quickly and wade into the shallow lake to pull calamus with her husband.
