Chapter 15: The Root of the Strange Disease
After lunch, Mrs. Ji's grandson had taken the medicine for more than half an hour, but there was no effect at all.
Uncle Wang's brows furrowed even tighter, and he wondered: "Impossible, this child's condition should be suffering from slow liver wind, very photophobic, I use a finger-long licorice and pig bile, and rice soup to make a medicine, it should have a miraculous effect!"
"Mrs. Ji, you better tell me the truth, if you don't tell me the cause and effect of this child's illness, it will be difficult for me to prescribe the right medicine!" Uncle Wang looked at the middle-aged woman and said meaningfully.
Mrs. Ji turned her head a little embarrassed, and when she wanted to speak, Uncle Wang saw Mrs. Ji like this and said: "If Mrs. Ji still has some concerns and concealment, then Ling Sun's illness will really be difficult to cure!"
Mrs. Ji seemed to have made a big decision, so she gritted her teeth and said: "A few days ago, my husband and my son suddenly hurried back home, explained something, and then left the next day. ”
"They were originally working as coolies in the county town, but suddenly a person claiming to be an archaeologist approached them and asked them to help find a group of people to dig an ancient tomb, and they also took out a document approved by the government, promising the workers 200 yuan a day and an additional 1,000 yuan in management fees, which is equivalent to their income for several months, so my husband and son readily agreed.
My husband and son knew that these people were tomb robbers, so they also fled in a hurry, and after escaping home, they stayed overnight, and the next day they were very worried about being confessed, so they were ready to flee to other provinces to avoid the limelight, but as soon as they left, my grandson began to become very strange, and slowly became like this, and could not see a little light. ”
"This tomb robbery is originally a criminal matter, but my husband and son are unaware, and I ask Dr. Wang not to report it!" Mrs. Ji said with some pleading.
After hearing this, Uncle Wang asked even more suspiciously: "Don't worry, is it that simple? Are you sure you haven't missed any important details?"
"By the way, when my son was running away, because he didn't get paid, he took a very strange thing in his hurry, a paw the size of a baby's palm, and he said it was an antique and very valuable, and told me to hide it, and I put it in a drawer, and the next day my grandson took it out and used it as a toy. The middle-aged woman seemed to remember something, and added.
"Then take out that claw and take a look, maybe the root of the problem lies here!" Uncle Wang said with some uncertainty.
Mrs. Ji walked to the back room and quickly took out the claw, this claw is very small, the whole body is silvery-white, I can't see what material it is made of, it still looks very new after being buried in the ground for so long, and there is nothing abnormal on the surface.
Uncle Wang's eyes froze, staring at this claw, but there was a storm in his heart, looking at the breath of this claw, isn't this a cultivator's magic weapon?
Speaking of magic weapons, he now has a low-level magic weapon in the shape of a brush in his hand, which was given to him by his master when he taught him to draw charms, which can increase the power of the charm.
Don't look at Uncle Wang is just an ordinary doctor, his master is not an ordinary person, but a Taoist who cultivates, Uncle Wang traveled around the world with his master when he was young, looking at appearances, looking at feng shui, making charms, he learned some fur from the master, if it weren't for the wisdom root he didn't practice, he would be the successor of the master's mantle, but the master still took him to see a lot of bizarre strange things, but after the development of science and technology in recent years, these strange things began to become more and more rare.
Hu Jiu also looked this little paw up and down, he felt that there was a strange energy swimming in this claw, and suddenly a strange feeling sprouted in his heart, how to see how this paw looked like a baby, and began to breed an urge to take it for himself.
Uncle Wang said with some embarrassment: "You should put this claw away quickly, don't touch and show people casually, this child is nine times out of ten because of the evil qi in this claw, it has become like this." ”
I didn't bring all my things today, and I have to go home to prepare, you wait for me for two days, and I will come back the day after tomorrow, Uncle Wang refused Mrs. Ji's reservation for dinner, and led Hu Jiu to leave in a hurry.
On the way back to the village, the sky began to get darker and darker, Uncle Wang took out a torch and lit it, faintly protecting Hu Jiu to walk beside him.
For Hu Jiu, there is almost no big difference between the night and the day, the terrain and movements within a range of 200 meters around him, everything is under his control, but walking at night in this mountain where there is no village in front of the village and no shop in the back does require enough courage and guts.
Thinking of the matter of the Ji family boy, Hu Jiu began to ask suspiciously: "Master, what is that claw?
Uncle Wang smiled angrily and said: "I said now that you kid won't understand, I followed the master at the beginning, and I only knew these things in my thirties, and I will tell you when you grow up, so as not to scare you." ”
Hu Jiu continued with some anxiety and expectation, "Master, I feel that paw is a treasure, if we cure the little brother of the Ji family tomorrow, can you let Aunt Ji give it to me as a reward?"
Uncle Wang looked back at Hu Jiu with wide eyes and said, "Do you kid know what that is?" That thing is very dangerous, it is not something that we ordinary mortals can touch, and if we don't do it, we will die." Only a strange person like my master can control it. Uncle Wang seemed to be stuck in memory.
"It's a pity that I followed the master for a short time, until the master and his old man later became feathered, I only learned his medical ways, and I only knew a little bit about other skills, and I blamed the teacher for being too stupid. ”
"Master, the master is so powerful, is he a cultivator?" From the master's words, Hu Jiu heard that the master was the same kind of person as himself, so he guessed and asked abruptly.
Uncle Wang, who was striding forward, suddenly stumbled, stopped and turned his head to stare at Hu Jiu: "How do you kid know about cultivators?"
Hu Jiu looked at Uncle Wang, his eyes turned, and he said with some hesitation: "Aren't those strange people called cultivators in the TV series? Hu Jiu asked the question just now with some regret, and almost revealed that he was a cultivator.
Uncle Wang looked at Hu Jiu, smiled and recalled: "You kid knows how to watch TV, how can those cultivators played on TV compare with real cultivators!"
Looking at Hu Jiu, Uncle Wang continued to reminisce: "My master and his old man are indeed considered cultivators, he is unparalleled in medicine, fortune-telling, feng shui, and making charms. Ah Jiu, there are many bizarre things in this world that science can't explain, so you have to learn to accept it, but you just need to know it, and you can't talk to outsiders. ”
Hearing the master's words, Hu Jiu was even more sure that the master must be the same kind of person as himself.
