"Deng Yuee, I warn you, if you dare to hurt Brother Cong and mother-in-law again, I will die with you even if I risk my life!"
Anna Mae pointed to the sky and cursed.
I remember what Deng Yue'e said last night that this concubine who came in late was usually on par with her sisters and was gentle and kind to others. However, she was completely different when they met her today.
"Xiaomei, you still have a baby in your belly, don't try to cause fetal distress for her." Mother Lin expressed concern.
Anna Mae calmed down, turned to smile with Song Che, and waved to the maid behind her. The maid uncovered the red silk and found a plate full of silver, including two or three hundred taels.
He Mei said: "Master Song, this is a wish from my Lin family. If you can help get rid of that evil spirit, you will get a more generous reward."
However, Song Che pushed the money out and declined sternly: "I appreciate your kindness. Killing demons and demons is the bounden duty of a Taoist. Besides, if you don't get reward for your merits, you will never be able to accept this kind of money."
"Oh, when other Taoists see money, they are eager to take it with them, but Master Song regards wealth as dirt... Mother-in-law, now the evil spirits in our family can be eliminated!"
Anna Mae was overjoyed and asked Song Che quickly: "Master Immortal, when will you get up from the altar to perform rituals to exorcise demons and collect ghosts?"
Song Che took out a list from his sleeve and handed it to Anna Mae: "Please, madam, please buy all the materials above. Today at night, we will start a ritual to subdue the ghosts."
At this time, Mother Lin came again and asked: "I wonder if the immortal master knows the art of Qihuang?"
Song Che stroked his beard and laughed: "Seeking immortals and asking questions, measuring good and bad luck, telling fortunes by touching bones, slaying demons and destroying demons, and understanding Huang's medical skills. This way is all mastered."
Mother Lin was overjoyed, "Huh? That's great. My Cong'er has been ill since Yue'e's death. I'm afraid that dirty things may have affected him. Since you, the immortal master, are here, you can also help look after Cong'er." Is it your son’s illness?”
Anna Mae said: "Mother-in-law, didn't Doctor Zhang say that Brother Cong was betrayed and was suffering from a sudden illness due to anger, and he needs to rest for a while. Master Xian has good abilities, but he is afraid that he will disturb Brother Cong. rest……"
"Then this-"
"Hey, it's okay. I just need to go over and take a look and I will know how young master Ling is doing."
Song Che didn't give Anna Mae another chance to make excuses. He stood up and greeted Mother Lin: "Old madam, please lead the way."
"Just take a look and don't bother me. Then Master Song, please come with me."
Mother Lin led Song Che to a secluded bedroom in the backyard.
Look at the bed, lying on the bed is a man in his late twenties, with sunken eye sockets, a sallow complexion and a thin face, looking extremely ill.
"Cong'er, this is Master Song from Penglai. Tell him any illness you have." The mother couldn't help but burst into tears when she saw her son's appearance.
Song Che sat on the edge of the bed pretending to be in bed, took his pulse, rolled his eyelids, looked at the tongue coating, and then asked the patient: "Did the young master have any diseases during his lifetime?"
Lin Cong even shook his head weakly.
Mother Lin said at the side: "My Lin family has been in business for generations. After my husband died, Cong'er took charge of the business and traveled all over the country. He was in good health despite the wind and rain. There are no hereditary diseases in my family. Why did he suddenly collapse? ?”
Anna Mae chimed in, "It's all that slut's fault. She didn't follow the rules of women during her lifetime, and she came to persecute Brother Cong after her death!"
She stroked her belly again, wiped her tears with one hand, and said to Lin Cong: "Brother Cong, you must get better, even if it's not for me, it's for the sake of the child in your belly!"
A healthy, middle-aged man becomes seriously ill within half a month. Even if he gets cancer, he shouldn't be so fast.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster!
Song Che said:
"I think that the darkening of your young master's hall and the extinguishing of his spirit lamp are signs of being possessed by evil spirits. In this way, the sun is shining brightly today. I will first carry the young master out to bask in the sun and replenish his yang energy, while I will stay with the Taoist boy. If a formation is set up in the room to block the invasion of evil spirits, his illness will gradually improve."
Mother Lin called the servants to help Lin Cong onto the bamboo couch, and then carried her out of the bedroom, leaving only Song Che and Lin Yue.
"Oh, Master Song Xian is really capable of scaring them into a daze." Lin Yue covered her mouth and snickered.
Song Che took out a stack of ghost-painted charms and shouted loudly: "Tong'er, stick two of these evil-proof charms on each door and window, remember to be neat and symmetrical."
"As you command, Master!"
Lin Yue went to put on the talisman.
Song Che took the opportunity to search for clues in the room, and unexpectedly found a curved hair in the seam of the bed. This hair...
"Master Immortal, have you finished the ritual? Doctor Zhang said that Brother Cong has weak bones and is not suitable for prolonged exposure to the sun." Anna Mae's voice sounded outside the house, urging him.
Song Che wrapped the hair with cloth and put it away, and Lin Yue's ghost painting talisman was also put on it. He responded and opened the door.
The servants carried Lin Cong back to the bedroom and lay down. In addition to Lin's mother and Anna Mae, a middle-aged man in his thirties also followed. He was carrying a medicine box and his posture was even better than Song Che, the immortal master. Be noble.
"Old madam, if praying to God for divination is really useful, there will be no need for us doctors to exist." Doctor Zhang sat beside the bed and said while taking Lin Cong's pulse. Obviously there was a thorn in his words.
Song Che chuckled: "If your medical skills are useful, why has Mr. Lin's illness not improved for so long?"
Doctor Zhang frowned and said in a more serious tone: "The young master is suffering from an acute illness, coupled with the stagnation of blood, it will definitely not take ten days and a half to get better. How can you, a charlatan, understand this?"
Song Che squinted his eyes.
Mother Lin hurried over to smooth things over, "Song Xianshi, Doctor Zhang is the doctor we specially invited from Ezhou. His medical skills are very good. Any disease should be treated and evil should be driven away. As long as Cong'er's condition improves, both of you will belong to my Lin family." A lifesaver,"
She called her servant again:
"Come here, prepare a guest room, cakes, tea, and vegetarian meals for the two immortal masters. Don't neglect it."
She said to Song Che again: "Master Immortal, please go down and rest for a while. When the utensils for opening the altar are ready, I will call you to exorcise the devil."
Mother Lin is a virtuous and kind person.
Song Che glanced at Dr. Zhang and then at Anna Mae. Without saying any more, he left the bedroom with Lin Yue.
During this period, Song Che asked the servant who led the way for some information, including the origins of Anna Mae and Doctor Zhang.
Learned:
Anna Mae was originally the daughter of a wine shop owner outside Ezhou City. Because Lin Cong often went to Ezhou for business, which was just two days away, he had to rest at Hejia Winery in the evening. Over time, they became familiar with each other. In addition, Anna Mae was born young and beautiful. , Deng Yuee'e was unable to have children, so the place of concubinage was naturally given to Anna Mae.
Dr. Zhang's name is Zhang Tong, and he comes from a well-known medical family in Ezhou. After Lin Cong fell ill, he was introduced by He Mei to the Lin family to practice medicine. Because Lin Cong's condition is unstable, Zhang Tong has been living in the Lin family recently.
"By the way, is Mr. Lin currently living in the bedroom where he has been living for a long time?" Song Che asked the servant.
The servant shook his head and replied: "No, the yard where Mr. Lin currently lives was originally vacant. Later, he moved there so that he could rest in peace and recuperate."
"good."
Song Che didn't ask any more questions, he already knew it in his heart.
