Tang finally woke up, let out a long sigh, and burst into tears.
He grabbed Chen Fu's clothes and said, "Dad, think of a way to save Zhuer."
Then he turned to Doctor Li and suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to him: "Please, Doctor Li, save my child. Wuwuwuwuwu, he is only in his twenties. Please, please save him..."
Doctor Li quickly moved away and said to Shao: "Help your mother-in-law up quickly."
Mrs. Shao wiped her tears and hurriedly supported her mother-in-law.
Doctor Li sighed and went to check Chen Zhu's wound.
Chen Zhu was injured by an arrow on the outside of his thigh. The arrow has been removed and there will be no problem as long as it is treated and treated with medicine immediately.
But there was no medicine at the time, and the wound became infected and festered, causing the entire thigh to swell.
Doctor Li touched Chen Zhu's forehead and felt that he was still running a high fever.
Looking at him again, his lips were black and his face was gray. He was in a daze and seemed to be at the end of his strength. The situation seemed very bad.
"I prescribed him a decoction to clear away heat and detoxify, and applied anti-inflammatory medicine on his legs. Alas, whether he can make it through it depends on him."
Doctor Li quietly said to Patriarch Chen Fu: "Your son is in danger, you should be prepared."
Upon hearing this, Chen Fu couldn't help but burst into tears, feeling more and more sorry for his fourth son and his wife.
But now that things have come to this, he can do nothing to help except feel heartbroken.
His wife didn't look well either, which made him even more worried.
"Brother Li, please take a look at my wife as well." Chen Fu wiped his tears with his sleeve and choked up as he bowed to Doctor Li.
Doctor Li quickly helped her up, shook his head gently, and went to check Tang's pulse.
At this time, Shao had already dragged her mother-in-law onto the kang, and the two of them were crying facing each other. Seeing the doctor coming, she quickly rolled up her mother-in-law's sleeves.
After taking Chen Fu's pulse, Doctor Li said to him, "Your wife's pulse is tight and hard, and her liver fire is strong. This may be a sign of a stroke. You should pay attention to it."
Chen Fu was a little dumbfounded when he heard this, and asked hurriedly: "What should I do?"
Doctor Li sat down and wrote a prescription, saying, "Don't let her get anxious or get angry, and don't let her grieve too much. She needs to rest and recuperate. I'll prescribe a decoction first, and we'll see after she takes it for a few days."
"Okay, go ahead. I'll keep an eye out for it next time."
Afterwards, Chen Fu asked his eldest grandson to send Doctor Li back and get some medicine at the same time.
After comforting his wife, Chen Fu went to check on his youngest son. The more he looked, the more heartbroken he felt.
Seeing that I, an old man, am about to see my young son die, I wish I could die in his place.
After walking around the house for a few times, Chen Fu slapped his forehead and hurried to the West Village to find the witch Song to perform a shaman dance to exorcise the evil spirit for his son.
As the saying goes, when one is desperate, one will try any possible means. He was at his wit's end.
Therefore, an incense table was set up in the yard of Patriarch Chen's house, and incense and candles were lit. Witch Song led her two grandchildren wearing colorful ribbons to offer sacrifices to the gods and perform sacrificial dances.
There are certain rules for performing sacrificial dances, and it cannot be done randomly. The dances for curing illnesses and praying for blessings and exorcising evil spirits are different and must be performed in conjunction with each other.
A witch is also a sorcerer and a kind of shaman. They are also called alchemists by the people because they not only have some knowledge of medicine, but also communicate with gods, predict good and bad luck, and give down oracles.
Goddess Song took out the prepared medicine powder from her waist, rang a bell and hummed some sacrificial words, poured it into a bamboo tube filled with water, shook it a few times, and handed it to Chen Fu: "This is the magic medicine given by the gods, give it to your son Si to drink."
Chen Fu respectfully accepted the gift from God and gave it to his fourth son to drink.
Witch Song also followed into the room, took one look at the young man lying on the kang, and shook her head secretly.
Looking at his appearance, even though he is young, he will definitely not live for more than a few days.
After feeding the magic medicine, Chen Fu saw Song the witch ringing a bell and singing, holding a turtle shell in her hand and throwing it to the ground.
Snap! The tortoise shell broke into three pieces.
At some point, witch Song drew a circle of fire on the ground, and the turtle shell fell into the fire.
Then witch Song grabbed the tortoise shell and shouted, "The heavens have sent down a decree that this place is dangerous and evil, and we need the cooperation of the fairy boy to resolve the disaster."
Patriarch Chen asked hurriedly: "What do you mean? Who is the fairy boy?"
Witch Song blinked her eyes and said loudly, "The fairy child is in the village. She is only four years old. With her cooperation, the evil spirit in your son will surely be defeated."
Chen Fu instantly knew who the fairy boy that Song the witch was talking about was.
He was a little hesitant at the moment. After all, the child was only three or four years old. What could he do
But my son still has a glimmer of hope, and as a father I cannot give up.
Chen Fu wondered how he should tell Jiang Sanlang to ask Ying Bao to exorcise the evil spirit and cure his son's illness.
If he said something inappropriate, Jiang Sanlang would probably kick him out of the house.
The witch Song at the side glanced at him, and seeing that Chen Fu was still hesitant, she rang the bell and sang a long song, and finally said: "If the fairy boy doesn't cooperate, there is nothing I can do."
What this means is that without the help of the fairy boy, Chen Zhu would definitely die, and it has nothing to do with her fortune-teller.
Chen Fu gritted his teeth, lifted the corner of his robe and walked out of the door.
I ran all the way to the south slope and saw a little girl riding a big deer galloping towards me from the wild.
The deer is tall and strong, with ferocious antlers like a divine beast, and its four hooves stretch out at lightning speed.
The little girl was wearing a red coat and had two small buns on her head. She had beautiful eyebrows and eyes and her skin was fair and rosy. She sat straight and motionless on the back of a deer, as if she was a natural knight.
At this moment, Chen Fuyou was in a trance for a moment and thought he really saw a fairy child from heaven.
"Little... Yingbao!" Chen Fu ran over quickly, holding up the corner of his robe.
Yingbao saw the clan leader running over in a hurry and quickly stopped Yoyo. "Grandpa Chen, what's the matter?"
Chen Fu ran to Dalu, panting, and stood next to him. After thinking about his words, he asked, "Where's your father?"
"My father is digging a pond over there."
Because the Jiang family moved to the south slope, the problem of water supply became a problem. So Jiang Sanlang and his second brother took advantage of the slack season during the farming season and prepared to dig a well near the pond.
However, it is not easy to dig a well in a place like Nanpo. You need to clear out the rocks underground before you can dig deeper.
So digging a well turned into digging a pond.
Chen Fu thought for a long time before he tentatively said, "Yingbao, my Zhu'er is injured, I want...I want you to go and take a look at him."
He didn't dare mention what the witch Song said. He just treated Yingbao as a little doctor and asked her to see him.
When Yingbao heard that she was being asked to see the doctor, her eyes lit up and she nodded without hesitation: "Okay."
It just so happened that she also wanted to see how badly Chief Chen’s youngest son was injured.
Mrs. Wen once said that if one wants to improve medical skills quickly, one must treat different patients and accumulate treatment experience.
"But I have to go back and tell my mother first, and also get a medicine bag." Yingbao urged Lu to turn around.
Chen Fu was pleasantly surprised and nodded quickly, "It just so happens that I also want to go talk to your parents about it."
When they arrived at Jiang Sanlang's house, Chen Fu told Chunniang to ask Yingbao to see the patient, and he never mentioned anything about Song the witch's divination, for fear that Jiang Sanlang and his wife would get angry and drive them away.
Chunniang put away the thread stick and stood up. "Since Baoer agrees to go, I will go with you."
She couldn't let her daughter go to someone else's house alone.
Yingbao went into the cave and collected some ointments and pills, put them in the small bag made by her mother, and then came out.
"Grandpa Chen, let's go." Yingbao carried a small bag on her back, stepped on the mounting stone and rode on Youyou's back.
Chunniang also packed up everything and let Erni Huzi take her two sons to play in the yard, while she followed her daughter.
