Chapter 4: Yin Qi Enters the Body
"The lord and the lady are not good, the young master is sick again. Butterfly Dance's panicked voice accompanied her hurried steps to the dining room.
"What's wrong with Ge'er?" Ding Qiaoqiao in the hall heard this, and his face, which was still smiling, suddenly froze, and Li Yunlong, who was beside her, was roughly the same.
The husband and wife didn't ask Butterfly for the reason, but got up and ran directly to their son's room.
"Xianggong, you quickly ask Ji'an to invite the doctor. After Ding Qiaoqiao entered the room, he sat on the edge of the bed and stroked his son's little cheek, and his face instantly became ugly.
"I'll go. Li Yunlong looked at his pale son lying on the bed and hurriedly walked out of the room.
"Ge'er, what's wrong with you?" Ding Qiaoqiao stood by the bed, tears streaming from her eyes at some point.
"Mother~" Li Ge, who was in a daze on the bed, opened his eyes slightly, looked at the beautiful woman with a worried face and shouted softly.
"Mother is here, Ge'er, you lie down in peace, your father has gone to ask for a doctor, and he will come soon. Mrs. Li wiped the tears from her face, and hurriedly said to a maid standing in the room, "Qiuyan, you go and pour a cup of hot tea, Butterfly Dance, you go and bring a basin of hot water." ”
"Yes, ma'am. The two maids in the room answered and hurried out.
Then, Li Yunlong walked into the room with a worried face, and the husband and wife looked at their son Li Ge in front of the bed full of melancholy.
After a while, Jia Ding Ji'an led the old doctor who had seen Li Ge before, and hurriedly walked in.
"Doctor Huang, can you take a look at what's wrong with my son?" Li Yunlong, who had a sad face, was walking in front of the bed, and after seeing the old doctor, he hurriedly greeted him.
"Okay~Okay~ Let me show Ling Gongzi. Dr. Huang nodded, walked quickly to the bedside, and held Li Ge's wrist to call the pulse.
As soon as the old doctor grabbed the arm of the little prince of the Li family, a look of surprise appeared on his face. As his veins deepened, a hint of confusion appeared on his surprised face.
"Master Li, the sick old man of Ling Gongzi can't be diagnosed. Doctor Huang gently put down Li Ge's little wrist and said helplessly.
"Can't be diagnosed? Dr. Huang, you are the best doctor in our Meridian Town, you must find a way to save my son." When Li Yunlong heard this, he pleaded anxiously.
"If the old man can diagnose the cause, he will definitely think of a cure, but the pulse of the son is like a flat and stable, there is no abnormality, but his body is cold, and the old man has never seen this kind of cause. After Dr. Huang said a few words helplessly, he left by himself.
"Xianggong, you should think of a way. Ding Qiaoqiao returned to the bedside, clutching his son's little hand, his face full of tears.
"Ji'an, you go and invite Dr. Chen from the east end of the town. Li Yunlong stood with a sad face for a while, and hurriedly explained to the family waiting at the door.
Ji'an answered outside the door and hurriedly ran out of the Li Mansion, and after about half an hour, he stopped outside the room with an old man with silver hair on his back.
After the old man got off Ji'an's back, he walked slowly towards the house with a cane in one hand and the strap of the medicine box at his side with the other.
"Uncle Chen, you are very old, Qiaoqiao and I didn't want to disturb you, but the child is suffering from a strange illness and has to trouble your old man's house. Chen Yunlong saw the white-haired old man and hurriedly stepped forward to support him.
"Virtuous nephew doesn't need to be polite, your Li family is kind to me, how can I not come now if there is something?" Dr. Chen replied politely, and after being helped to the side of the bed, he looked at Li Ge lying on the bed, and sat on the edge of the bed holding the latter's little wrist and signaled the pulse.
After a long time, Dr. Chen put down Li Ge's hand and sighed heavily.
"Uncle Chen, what kind of disease does my son have?" Ding Qiaoqiao asked sadly.
"Who~ old and incompetent, I can't diagnose this child's condition. Dr. Chen reluctantly walked to the table on the side, sat down on the table, and said, "This child's pulse seems to be stable, his heart is calm and smooth, he doesn't seem to be sick, but his whole body is cold, I have been practicing medicine for more than 50 years, and I have never seen this kind of disease." ”
"What about that? When Ding Qiaoqiao heard this, he couldn't help but lie on the side of the bed and cried bitterly holding his son's little hand.
After Li Yunlong on the side heard this, tears flashed in his eyes, and he stood aside with his head bowed and was silent.
"This child's illness is very strange, and I can't do anything about it, why don't you go and ask Dr. Huang to come over and take a look?" After sitting at the table for a while, Dr. Chen said helplessly.
"Uncle Chen, we looked for Dr. Huang before you came just now, and he, like you, couldn't diagnose my family's illness. Li Yunlong walked to the table with a sad face.
"If he can't diagnose it, I'm afraid that no one in the entire Ningxia County will be able to diagnose it. Dr. Chen slowly stood up and walked slowly outside the house with his crutches.
"Ji'an, you send Uncle Chen back. Seeing this, Li Yunlong hurriedly got up and helped Chen Lao to walk outside the room, and explained to the family.
After sending Chen Lao away, Li Yunlong returned to the room and lay on the side of the bed with his wife to grieve together. He looked at Li Ge on the bed, a wave of helplessness rose in vain, the two doctors just now had opened a medical clinic in Ningshan County when they were young, and their medical skills needless to say, if even they said that there was no way, it seemed that this son was really hopeless.
"Father, mother, don't be sad. Li Ge on the bed saw his parents lying on the side of the bed in a daze, and said with his mouth open.
"Ge'er~" The couple who were crying heard the weak comforting sound of their son on the bed, and they held Li Ge's little hand one after another, and the sorrowful whine was louder.
At this moment, Ji'an, who was supposed to send Chen Lao home, returned with the old man on his back.
"Nephew, I remembered something. Cheng Lao walked to the room on crutches.
"Uncle Chen, what do you remember?" Hearing this, the husband and wife stopped crying at the same time, and helped Chen Lao to sit at the table together.
"If this child's illness cannot be diagnosed, in my opinion, it is not that he is sick, but that he is haunted by ghosts and caused by yin qi entering his body. Chen Lao looked at Li Ge on the bed and said with a serious face.
"Yin Qi enters the body, Uncle Chen, what is the proof for what you say?" Li Yunlong's face was full of disbelief.
"This child's whole body is cold, his body is weak, but he has no symptoms, I think it should be caused by the Yin Qi entering the body. Dr. Chen's old face showed a sense of firmness.
"Uncle Chen, what do you say you should do now? Go and ask a Taoist priest or a mage?" Ding Qiaoqiao hurriedly asked.
"Yes~ Now I only have to invite the monks to take a look, although there is no temple in our Meridian Town, there is a Daoist Ai who will invite God to catch ghosts, and you must have heard of the ability of that Daoist. Old Chen smiled bitterly and said, "That Daoist lives near my house, I think you might as well invite him over to have a look." ”
"Lady, do you want to invite the Taoist chief to come to the house to have a look?" Li Yunlong asked his wife in a soliciting tone.
It is no wonder that Li Yunlong asks this question, although many people have studied Confucian literature since childhood, they spiritually believe in the godless principles in the book "On Balance", and this is the case with the husband and wife. The main reason is that the vast majority of ordinary people have never seen ghosts and demons in their lives, let alone immortals.
"Now that Ge'er is like this, let's go and invite it, and it is better to believe it than to believe it not. Ding Qiaoqiao didn't think much about it, and nodded in response.
