This matter has come to an end, but Wei Linjuan's physical illness is still fresh in my mind. Every time I recall the dark patches and ugly black hair on her body, I feel pity, how could such a beautiful girl encounter such misfortune.
I kept thinking about it, and after a while I couldn't help it anymore and told Liu Ruxiang about it.
"Such a disease is really rare. Well, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time to cure..."
"What does this little girl look like? Are you so interested in her? Do you like her?" Liu Ruxiang's eyes turned towards her with a fierce evil aura.
I shuddered immediately: "No, no, I don't have puppy love. How could I like a strange girl with black spots all over her body and weird behavior? Impossible."
Liu Ruxiang sneered and called me a "coward."
"Don't laugh at me. I just feel pitiful when I look at her, and I want you to help her. After all, she is my deskmate. If you cure her disease, I will feel better."
I always feel a little embarrassed when I say this.
"Well, bring it back to me someday. It will need to be further analyzed based on the facts."
After getting Liu Ruxiang's consent, I couldn't help but feel happy.
After I tried my best to persuade her, Wei Linjuan was dragged to my home three days later.
She was still dressed in the same thick clothes. Even though Qiu Laohu had not left and the weather was still very hot, she was unwilling to take off any clothes. She also said that as soon as she took them off, her body would shiver with cold.
Liu Ruxiang felt something was wrong the first time she saw Wei Linjuan. She walked up and asked, "Are you the same age as Wenshan?"
Wei Linjuan nodded.
"Little girl, sit inside. If Wenshan bullies you in the future, come and tell me, and I will punish him." Liu Ruxiang led Wei Linjuan into the main room, turned on the TV to play cartoons, and then took out a cardboard box from the room. A small foreign drink was brought out.
Normally I have to sing well in order to get a bottle as a reward, but today I am taking advantage of Wei Linjuan.
"Don't be shy, show me to sister." Liu Ruxiang rolled up Wei Linjuan's sleeves, and the black scars on her white forearms appeared.
Liu Ruxiang rubbed it gently for a long time and then asked: "When you were a child, you fell into the water and suffered a disaster. You touched some unclean things and were poisoned, right?"
Wei Linjuan's eyes widened, and then she nodded repeatedly.
"If I guess correctly, you were born on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, which was the 30th day of the seventh lunar month that year. It was probably before dawn in the morning, right?"
Wei Linjuan nodded immediately.
I stood on the edge and watched, dumbfounded.
I didn't even know Wei Linjuan's birthday, and she didn't tell me. How come Liu Ruxiang guessed it right away?
Wei Linjuan didn't understand either and looked at Liu Ruxiang with an incredible look.
The cook smiled and said: "There are black spots all over the body, the shape is like birthmarks, the heat is too hot in the dog days, and the lips are often pale. These are the symptoms of evil poison invasion, and most of the patients have four-pillar pure yin horoscopes, and their birth dates are reversed. It’s not difficult.”
"Your strange disease itself is very rare, and not many people know how to treat it. Moreover, over time, the evil poison has already penetrated deep into the bone marrow."
When I heard what Liu Ruxiang said, I immediately looked at her nervously: "Can it still detoxify?"
Seeing my caring look, the cook glanced at me jokingly: "Of course, just treating diseases and saving people is not something that can be done in a day. Girl, you have to come and sit here more often."
I was happy in my heart. If Wei Linjuan comes every day in the future, wouldn’t I be able to drink a bottle of Little Foreigner every day?
Liu Ruxiang continued to talk about the disease: "Ask your family to find some fresh peach tree roots, take half a catty of roots and one tael of old tofu, wash them and boil two catties of water. When the water changes from two catties to half a catty, then Take the rooster's blood, drink a sip of tree root water, and a sip of fresh rooster's blood. Drink it before dinner every day. Once a day, come to me every three days, and you will be cured in one month."
Liu Ruxiang said, picking up the pen on the other side and writing down the words.
Wei Linjuan stretched out her hands to take it, looked at Liu Ruxiang gratefully, opened her mouth, and finally said coyly: "Auntie, how much does this cost?"
Liu Ruxiang waved her hand: "It's just a little effort. This peach tree root is not expensive. Let your father find a lumberyard and treat the owner to a meal, and I will guarantee you to use it until you recover."
"However, I am curious about where the water you fell into is?" Liu Ruxiang asked her.
"I can't remember exactly. One winter I went to visit relatives in a place called Mojia Village. At that time, I went to play on the ice with several children from other families. As a result, I brought stones to the ice and broke the ice. I fell in and almost drowned. I haven’t been there twice since then, and I can’t avoid the pond.”
Wei Linjuan said calmly, my pupils quickly enlarged, and I was stunned for a moment.
It turned out to be Mojiacun.
"Where is that pond?" I immediately asked her. Mojiacun is a large place with several ponds.
"Where... I can't remember clearly, but there were several persimmon trees beside the pond."
Her words brought a long-ago memory to my mind. The pond was at the edge of the threshing floor at the east end of the village. The two rows of persimmon trees by the water were planted by an old blind man many years ago. Times have changed, and now it is as thick as a human waist, and it produces so many persimmons every year that the whole village can eat them.
There was a lot of cold sweat on my forehead, and I asked her, "Were you six years old when you fell into the pond and were later rescued by your great-aunt?"
Wei Linjuan looked incredulous: "Yes, you can also tell fortunes?"
That seems right. The day Wei Linjuan fell into the water, I had been kept at home by my grandma all winter, and she was repeatedly ordered not to play with ice or water. She said that the granddaughter of Mr. Mo and his family in the east of the village, who was visiting relatives, fell into the pond and almost drowned. When I fished it out from the pond, my face turned purple. I wiped it with hot water several times and covered it with a hot quilt for a long time before breathing out.
Check this information one by one with Wei Linjuan, I'm afraid it can't be wrong.
I couldn't calm down at all, so I turned to look at Liu Ruxiang and confessed: "It's the pond where my brother is buried."
Wei Linjuan was kept in the dark and confused.
I explained to her: "I used to live and grow up in Mojia Village. Before I was born, one of my brothers died in childbirth. According to the custom there, he was not allowed to be buried, so he sank in that pond."
"Very strange things happened in that pond. For example, apples are obviously lighter than water, but the apples my father threw down during the New Year worship quickly sank to the bottom, as if there was a hand in the water, taking the things down. ”
Wei Linjuan was so frightened that she turned pale when she heard what I said.
When Liu Ruxiang saw that things were getting complicated and some things were difficult to discuss, she asked her to take the prescription home and take the medicine first, and then come back tomorrow afternoon.
