The autumn wind is bleak, and waves of coolness are coming, reminding people on this land that it's time to put on extra clothes.
Song Cheng, whose clothes were relatively thin, put his hands in his sleeves and walked on the cool autumn road with his neck curled up.
Ye Ming rode his donkey upside down, taking out the gourd from his waist from time to time and taking a sip of wine, which was very satisfying.
Lei Ling lay on the back of the donkey's neck, curled up, and looked very comfortable.
"Mr. Yang, can you give me a drink to warm me up?"
Song Cheng felt that his nose was about to flow out.
Ye Ming turned the gourd mouth downward, shook it, and said:
"Look, it's gone."
"Alas~~"
Song Cheng sighed, but saw Ye Ming put the gourd to his mouth again and took a sip of wine.
Song Cheng:? ? ?
"Mr. Yang, you gourd, do you recognize someone?"
Song Chengcheng was curious about this magical gourd.
Ye Ming tied the gourd back to his waist and said with a smile:
"you guess."
"..."
I do not guess you guess guess?
After walking for a while, Song Cheng felt tired and hungry, and couldn't keep up.
"Mr. Yang, we have been walking for so long, why don't we take a break?"
"Are you tired? I'm not tired at all!"
Ye Ming patted Donkey Gen's butt again,
"Donkey Gen, are you tired?"
Donkey Gen snorted and continued walking forward.
Ye Ming shrugged and looked at Song Cheng:
"Look, Donkey Geng is not tired, and everyone is not tired. Take a break and keep walking."
Song Cheng had no choice but to grit his teeth and follow suit.
Walking until outside a small town, Song Cheng almost burst into tears when he saw the town in the distance. He finally reached a place where he could rest.
"Old Song, do you have money?"
"You didn't?"
"I only had seven cents with me, and it all disappeared with your hut."
"I didn't even have time to bring out the money..."
"That's good, everyone has no money."
"What should we do?"
Song Cheng was a little anxious. He was tired, thirsty and sleepy now. If he had no more money, he would die!
He immediately thought of a way:
"How about we try begging?"
"Old Song, you are so unambitious. How can you be stuck with a little money? Let's go, I will take you to eat delicious food and drink spicy food, and you can also have a good time."
Ye Ming rode his donkey root and walked towards the town.
Song Cheng didn't know what Ye Ming could do, but now he could only believe him and follow him step by step.
Ye Ming arrived in the town and went straight to the house of the largest wealthy family in the town.
"Old Song, go up and knock on the door and tell me that a miracle doctor is here to treat you."
When it comes to instructing people, Ye Ming has always been handy.
Hearing Ye Ming's instructions, Song Cheng felt a little weird.
How could he know that someone in this family was sick and yet be so confident in coming to treat him?
"Hurry up, don't you want to eat, drink and sleep?"
Ye Ming urged Song Cheng to act quickly.
Song Cheng had no choice but to knock on the door.
When the concierge opened the door, he found a scholar wearing a kerchief and asked politely what happened.
When things came to a close, Song Cheng had no choice but to tell Ye Ming what he said.
When the concierge heard that they were here for treatment, he hurriedly welcomed the two into the house, and then called a family member to inform the old lady in the yard.
Soon, someone brought the two to the living room for a meeting.
Ye Ming gave the donkey root to Jia Shengzi and asked him to take good care of him before entering the hall.
Lei Ling jumped onto Ye Ming's shoulders arrogantly and followed her.
Song Cheng looked at Ye Ming with a guilty conscience, wondering if he could do it.
The current person in charge of the family is a worried-looking old woman, accompanied by her three sons.
The eldest son heard that Ye Ming could cure diseases, so he quickly asked Ye Ming to save the old family leader, their father.
The second son believed that Ye Ming's origins were unknown and could not be trusted, so he refused to allow Ye Ming to see a doctor.
The third son was still a young boy, and he was just curiously observing Lei Ling on Ye Ming's shoulder.
Ye Ming was indifferent to the family's doubts or trust.
In the end, it was the old lady who asked Ye Ming for consultation.
When he arrived at the door of the old master's house, Ye Ming kicked Song Cheng in the butt:
"You are here to cure this disease."
"I?"
Song Cheng had an expression of disbelief on his face,
"How can I cure diseases and save people? How can I cure them?"
Ye Ming pushed him into the house and closed the door with a bang.
The old woman and her sons and housekeepers were all confused when they saw that the person who came in was not Ye Ming, who was threatening to cure his illness, so they stepped forward to ask.
Ye Ming just smiled and explained:
"Only he can cure this disease."
Everyone was doubtful, but Ye Ming blocked them from entering, and they couldn't get in. Seeing that Ye Ming didn't show any signs of running away, they felt at ease and waited together.
Song Cheng, who was forced into the room by Ye Ming, was confused, but Jindu came in to see how the patient was doing.
Song Cheng came to the bedside and saw the old master.
The old master's face turned pale and his expression was painful, as if he was undergoing some kind of torture.
Song Cheng didn't know medical skills, but he had seen other people's ways of treating doctors, so he tried to reach out and touch the forehead of his old master.
As soon as his hand touched the old master's forehead, he suddenly felt like being pricked by a needle. Song Cheng subconsciously retracted his hand and looked at his palm.
There were no scars, but it just felt like a burning pain, a bit like being stung by some kind of insect covered in poisonous stings.
Although Song Cheng was not knowledgeable in medicine, he also understood that this situation was not consistent with any disease and was very strange.
After noticing the strangeness of his old master, Song Cheng began to think about what Ye Ming meant when he said that only he could cure it.
After thinking for a while, he reached out and felt the pulse of the old master.
The result was the same. As soon as it came into contact with the old patriarch's body, his palms felt like needles pricking him, and the pain was unbearable.
Song Cheng thought about it for a long time, but couldn't find a solution, so he wondered if his contact time was too short and he would try to contact him more.
Thinking of this, Song Cheng reached out his hand again and placed it on the forehead of the old master.
The pin-pricking feeling appeared again, but this time Song Cheng endured the pain and refused to let go.
Soon, red spots appeared on Song Cheng's palms, as if they were bleeding from needle pricks.
Song Cheng gritted his teeth and insisted not to stop.
At a certain moment, I suddenly heard a muffled sound, as if something exploded.
After the muffled sound, the needle-pricking feeling receded like a tide, and the old patriarch's expression was no longer so painful.
But Song Cheng noticed that the muffled sound just now seemed to come from under the bed board under the old master.
Song Cheng tried to move the old master's body away a little, uncovered part of the bed board, reached out to fumble, and found something that was a bit prickly.
He gently took this thing out, and it turned out to be a scarecrow with needles all over his body.
There was also a talisman affixed to the scarecrow's body. The talisman had a person's birth date written on it. At this time, part of the talisman was burned in the middle and seemed to have lost its effect.
Seeing a scarecrow like this, coupled with the talismans and needles on the scarecrow, can't help but remind people of something...
"There has been no movement for so long. Is it okay? Is something going to happen to my father?"
The eldest son waited anxiously, as if he was worried that something would happen to his father.
The second son said dissatisfiedly in front of Ye Ming:
"I told you that people with unknown origins like this can't be trusted!"
Ye Ming didn't care about his attitude and just sat by the wall drinking.
The old lady advised her two sons to stay calm and wait.
After a while, the door was opened, and Song Cheng's figure appeared in front of everyone.
"Father, how is he?"
The eldest son looked at Song Cheng expectantly, eager to know the result.
Song Cheng said: "Boss and Jiren have their own destiny, so it's okay."
When everyone heard this, their faces showed joy.
Song Cheng, who was facing his eldest son, felt that his eldest son's smile seemed a bit forced. After thinking about it, he took out a scarecrow from behind and displayed it in front of everyone:
"The boss of your house is not sick, but has been cursed. This was found from the mezzanine of the boss's bed."
Everyone was shocked when they saw this. When the second son heard this, he said angrily:
"Who did it?"
After the eldest son's expression froze for a moment, he also looked angry and clamored to find the murderer.
The old lady took the scarecrow and checked it, confirming that the birth date and birth date on the talisman belonged to the old family master.
The eldest son immediately asked for orders:
"Mom, someone in the house is plotting to kill dad, please allow me to investigate the matter thoroughly."
The old lady looked at her eldest son, then at everyone, and finally said to the housekeeper:
"Lao Li, you take your family's long-term workers and search the rooms of everyone in the house. Everyone else stays here and no one is allowed to leave."
The steward took the order and went with the long-term workers.
"Mom, Uncle Li is an outsider after all. It is more reliable for a child to lead the investigation..."
Before the eldest son finished speaking, he was interrupted by the old lady.
"I told you that everyone else should stay here and are not allowed to go anywhere!"
With that said, he went into the house in person to check on the old owner.
After confirming that the old family leader's condition had improved, he felt relieved.
Time passed little by little, and everyone present looked at each other, secretly guessing who was harming the old patriarch.
After a while, the housekeeper came back, holding a box in his hand.
When the eldest son saw the box, his face turned pale, and he knelt on the ground with a "pop" sound.
"Mother, I was wrong, mother!"
...
The reason why the eldest son harmed the old patriarch was because he heard privately that the old patriarch wanted to hand over the family property to the second son for inheritance.
How can the eldest son, the eldest son, be reconciled to this?
But he knew that his second brother was better than him in everything, and if he really wanted to compete, he would definitely not be able to compare with him.
The only advantage is his status as the eldest son.
As long as the old man dies suddenly before leaving any last words, he can successfully inherit the family business by virtue of his status as the eldest son.
At this time, an old Taoist priest passed by and offered to help him kill the old master for a fee.
The eldest son spent five taels of gold in exchange for two cursed straw men, one placed under the bed of the cursed person and the other under the bed of the caster.
In this way, within seven days, the cursed person will definitely die.
Six days had already passed, and there was only one day left to complete the project. Unexpectedly, it was interrupted at the last moment, and it could be said that the work fell short.
It's a pity that the old Taoist priest took the gold and disappeared, and there was no way to find it again.
After half a day, the old head of the family finally woke up. After learning that it was his eldest son who was harming him, he almost died of anger on the spot.
After finally regaining his composure, he burst into tears and cursed his eldest son for being unfilial.
The head of the old family had told his second son many times in private that he would need to take more care of his eldest brother in the future, as the eldest brother was not capable of maintaining the family business.
This is not nonsense of the old family master, but the consensus of everyone in the family.
Because the boss likes to take care of things, but his management skills are a mess, and he basically never gets anything done. If he really takes over as the head of the family, then their family will really be doomed.
Ye Ming was not interested in how to deal with the family's personal grudges.
But the old lady was still very grateful. She arranged for the two of them to live in the best wing and served them with good wine and food.
Song Cheng hadn't eaten so much delicious food for a long time, and he was really hungry and thirsty today, so he ate in an unimpressive way.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Song Cheng finally remembered to ask Ye Ming:
"Mr. Yang, how do you know about this family, and how do you know that I can break the spell?"
Ye Ming smiled mysteriously:
"Because I can figure it out."
Is that so?
If Ye Ming said this before, Song Cheng would definitely be suspicious.
But after experiencing this, he felt that Ye Ming might really be able to figure things out.
If this is the case, think about what Ye Ming said about the big houses, fertile fields, beautiful wives and concubines...
For a moment, Song Cheng was looking forward to it.
...
