Looking at this old man in front of me, I just feel that his face is kind, and there is no such scary feeling at all.
The old man bowed his hands to me and said, "I heard your master tell us our story. I want you to say sorry. I will never rely on my old age like that."
Of course I understood and nodded.
The old man said that he came here to ask Liu Ruxiang to take action. He wanted to ask Liu Ruxiang or the Liu family to save his wife.
His wife is over eighty years old this year and has only been around for a few years. He has no energy to go up the mountain every day to collect herbs. Some time ago, he dragged people up the mountain to help collect herbs. Now he has no choice but to come to us. Liu family, I hope we can find some way to completely cure the old woman's illness.
Liu Ruxiang heard the words and frowned in thought.
After a long time, Liu Ruxiang nodded.
"Of course it's okay to save people, but our Liu family always has rules for how we treat people."
At this point, the old man also understood. Why did he dare to come to Liujia Village if he wasn't ready?
However, what made people laugh or cry was that he took out a small cloth bag from his pocket, then gradually untied the rope on it, and took out a wad of money from it.
The pile of money was all large red banknotes. Looking at the old condition, you could tell how long the old man had been saving it. Maybe it was his coffin book.
I looked at Liu Ruxiang, a little curious about how to solve this.
There was a trace of embarrassment on the old man's face: "I understand the rules, but the young man and his wife can only spend so much money. When the new year comes, I will go to my daughter's house to ask for some money. How about that?"
Liu Ruxiang looked at the old man's body.
The thin clothes were already a little worn, and there was even a tear in the pants. There is also a patch on the coat on the upper body.
Patches are extremely rare these days.
Liu Ruxiang sighed: "Old man, are there nothing else valuable or useful? It's not that I can't do it for you, it's just that it's hard for us to do it if the reward is less."
The old man's eyes were dim and he was about to shed tears in his cloudy eyes.
Liu Ruxiang looked at it like this and felt sorry in her heart. Just when she was about to nod in agreement, she heard the old man say: "I don't have anything valuable at home, but my little old man heard something. Your Liu family Was there an attack by a beast before? That thing is called a corpse dog? "
Liu Ruxiang's eyes lit up with light.
"Yes, of course there is. That vicious dog attacked people in my village and almost killed them."
But the little old man smiled and said: "That's right, I don't know if your Liu family is interested in that vicious dog. My little old man not only knows where the dog usually lives, but also knows where the dog usually lives." Who did it belong to and what is its origin?"
When the old man said this, Liu Ruxiang smiled happily.
"The old man plans to use this news as reward?"
The old man nodded.
"Of course."
Liu Ruxiang was very satisfied and readily agreed.
"That evil dog did a lot of harm to people. I couldn't feel at ease if I couldn't get rid of it. But I never saw it and didn't know how to find it, so I gave the beast a chance to breathe."
The old man stroked his beard and asked, "May I ask, that vicious dog lost one of its tails? Was it broken off in Liujia Village?"
Listening to the old man's description, Liu Ruxiang was even more sure that the old man had really seen the vicious dog.
And I have seen it recently, otherwise, it is impossible to tell the changes in dog tail docking.
I recalled that dog, because it pretended to be my aunt and asked me several questions. Finally, Liu Ruxiang saw through it and cut off its tail with a sword.
That vicious dog! I gritted my teeth, really wanting to see the dog beaten to death with my own eyes.
Soon, Liu Ruxiang and I simply packed some things, and then called Uncle Peng and asked him to take us to the old man's home.
As soon as I got off the car, I heard a heartbreaking wail.
"Ah-ah-uh-"
"Ah - ah -"
An old man was suffering from some kind of pain and finally screamed.
She howled in pain, and through the wall of the yard, I vaguely saw the image of this old woman clenching her teeth, feeling worse than death.
The old man was in a panic as soon as he got off the car, and hurriedly waved me and Liu Ruxiang over. He took out the key from a hollow brick at the door, opened the door, and then hurriedly rushed into the house.
Liu Ruxiang and I came down without carrying anything, and followed closely behind.
The old couple lived in a two-room old tile-roofed house, with two small low-rise earthen houses on both sides. One of the houses was slightly cracked and considered dangerous.
When we entered the house, everything was messy, there wasn't much furniture, and it looked very poor.
We followed the old man's steps to the bedroom, and immediately saw a person lying on the bed.
The old woman's hands and feet were tied to the bed. She clenched her hands tightly, her hair was disheveled, her gray hair was messy, and some of it was stained with unknown things and caked together, making her look extremely sloppy.
The old lady gritted her teeth tightly, and a lot of blood oozed from her mouth.
"Ah-ah-ah-"
"Well--"
The old woman's roar reached my ears, which made me feel particularly harsh.
Seeing his wife like this, the old man looked apologetic and turned to Liu Ruxiang and said, "I've only been away from home for a long time and she's already like this. Wait here while I go get some medicine."
The old man ran out quickly and went to the small earthen house opposite, which might be the kitchen. After a while, he saw smoke coming from the chimney.
After the old man left, the old woman seemed to be in even more pain. She was struggling on the bed, with red marks on her hands and feet.
Liu Ruxiang sighed, took out a pack of silver needles from her body, and then asked me to lift the clothes off the old woman's belly.
Liu Ruxiang saw the right opportunity, and after finding the right position, an afterimage appeared in her hand. In just a few breaths, three silver needles were inserted into the old woman's belly.
As soon as the silver needle was inserted, the old woman stopped struggling and seemed much more comfortable, breathing heavily and evenly.
"Huh-huh-"
The old woman turned her head and looked towards Liu Ruxiang, looking at her deeply. I could feel her gratitude in her eyes.
After a while, the old man came back from the kitchen, holding a steaming soup that had been scalding overnight. It was pitch black and had a strong herbal smell.
My eyes widened as the old woman picked up the large bowl of boiling soup and drank it all in one gulp.
