Chapter 219: I Don't Want My Face for Black Toad Stone
"I've heard of it." Ye Xiaomei herself was still trying to figure out why she had two different memories. It was as if the current her was no longer the Ye Xiaomei she was before the age of twelve. Who exactly was she?
However, there will no longer be so many long-lived people in Changshou Town.
Military General Hospital Office.
Ye Xiaomei first gave him the report on Tang Buci's strange symptoms.
Old Xie put on his reading glasses and placed the teacup on the corner of the table. He looked at it for more than an hour.
Ye Xiaomei looked at the time and decided to send Heizi back as she still had to deliver dumplings to people at noon.
An hour later, Mr. Xie raised his head and asked, "Xiao Ye, do you find this strange?"
"Yes, there is no possibility of any dialectic." If Ye Xiaomei didn't find it strange, she wouldn't have made this trip.
Teacher Xie smiled, revealing his well-maintained white teeth. It seemed that he had found the right person. Ye Xiaomei stared at Teacher Xie without blinking: "Teacher Xie, did you see it?"
Old Xie shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, but I did encounter such a case when I was young."
Ye Xiaomei listened attentively.
According to Mr. Xie, it is a disease caused by worms in the bones. This disease is difficult to detect by taking the pulse, but the worms themselves are not harmful. They are just parasites of human worm donors. However, the most deadly thing about them is that they can secrete body fluids with anesthetic effects.
"Then where did this bug come from?" Ye Xiaomei was really surprised. How could there be such a horrifying disease?
"Have you ever heard of insects?"
Ye Xiaomei felt a chill down her spine when she heard this. She had never heard of this before in her life, but it was in her memory.
However, Gu magic was originally used to cure diseases. Of course, it can also harm people. It all depends on whether the Gu magician's heart is good or evil.
"Teacher Xie, how do I treat it?" Ye Xiaomei blurted out.
Who knew that at this time, Lao Xie kept the secret, chuckled, and said in a sly and frivolous way:
"I do have a way, but it's too valuable, and I only have a small piece of it, so I'm definitely not willing to give it to you."
Ye Xiaomei's pupils shrank: "What is it?" If Tang Bushi's illness could be cured, he wouldn't have to send people to follow him all day.
"Wait a minute, I'll open your eyes today." With that, Old Xie turned around and went back to the inner room. Then there was a sound of unlocking a door, and finally he came out with a small square box the size of a palm, put it on the table, and said with shining eyes:
"This is a treasure, it's worth a fortune, come here, let me show you."
Ye Xiaomei threw the cloth bag behind her and leaned over the corner of the table to watch.
Old Xie opened the small wooden box mysteriously and carefully. A truly foul smell hit him in the face. A black lump as big as a little finger appeared inside, and upon closer inspection, petrified toes could be found.
Ye Xiaomei sat up straight subconsciously, trying to stay away from the stench that filled her nose.
"This thing is called Black Toad Stone. It is extremely rare. I got it from an old friend 20 years ago after much persuasion. It cost me three thousand dollars."
After that, he quickly closed the lid of the small box and said proudly: "This thing is a work of nature. As the saying goes, one thing can defeat another, and two things can counteract each other. It can devour all poisonous insects without killing them."
Twenty years ago, if you could come up with 3,000 yuan, you could be considered rich enough to rival a country.
However...
Seeing that Old Xie took the square box away like a treasure, Ye Xiaomei took out a plastic bag from her cloth bag and slammed it on the table:
"Is this it?"
Old Xie, who was about to hide the treasure, stopped suddenly. The moment he turned back and opened the plastic bag, he quickly tied it again. The stench was a hundred times stronger than that of his toad leg.
But Old Xie was stunned: "How come you have a whole one?"
Ye Xiaomei was relieved now. Seeing Teacher Xie's reaction, she knew that she was right. This was the same black toad stone as his.
Having said that, he put it away and stuffed it into a cloth bag. Old Xie's eyes widened as he watched, and he didn't blink for several minutes.
"Thank you, teacher. Please tell me how to use this and how much." This is the most important thing right now.
Old Xie took a deep breath and then looked Ye Xiaomei up and down as if his soul had returned to its place. Where did this girl get such a whole one?
"Thank you, Teacher?" Ye Xiaomei saw that he had a dull expression, as if he had been stimulated by something.
"Oh, how to use it?" Old Xie quickly pretended to be indifferent and paced back and forth a few times:
"This is easy. Use Patchouli as the medicine guide. Patchouli can guide the medicine directly to the deep bones. Add two coins of black toad stone each time, boil water and take a bath. Do this once a week, three times. That's it."
Suddenly he looked sideways at Ye Xiaomei strangely. Although she looked calm, he was actually very worried. She seemed to have no idea how valuable this thing was.
"You can't finish the whole thing, why don't you give some to the teacher?"
Isn't that too shameless? Asking for something from a younger generation, never mind, face is nothing in front of such a precious herb. Thinking this way, Old Xie didn't feel so bad.
"You don't want to? I can tell you're stingy. I can pay for it... Huh?"
Old Xie looked back and saw that the office door was not closed and Ye Xiaomei had disappeared.
Hiss! Old Xie felt a pain on his face. This thing only needs a tiny amount to cure all diseases related to poisonous and evil insects. This girl must have been scared away by him.
On the way back, Ye Xiaomei treasured the Black Toad Stone even more; it was so precious.
Three thousand yuan twenty years ago would be worth more than thirty thousand yuan today.
As soon as Ye Xiaomei returned to the dumpling restaurant, she found it was unusually lively.
As expected, Shang Zhen was eating dumplings in the store with those dyeing plates. He also brought a few bottles of beer with him. At this moment, he was eating dumplings one by one and gulping down beer.
"Shang Zhen, haven't you had lunch yet?" Ye Xiaomei said as she stepped into the store. Suddenly, she saw a woman who looked out of place among those dyeing plates, sitting quietly in the corner.
Sitting opposite was her mother Zhao Mei: "I never thought I'd meet you in the city. Now that we're all family, the past doesn't count. Do you want some dumplings? Auntie will take you down."
It was Ye Xiaolin. She was looking at him straightly with a harmless smile on her lips.
"Okay, I didn't have lunch at noon."
What is she doing here? Ye Xiaomei was suspicious. How did she find this place?
"No, I played too late last night and slept until now. Luckily you still have dumplings in your store, otherwise I would have to spend money to eat out again."
Shang Zhen's words brought Ye Xiaomei back to reality.
"Yes, Sister Xiaomei, we had a great time last night, and it was this rich lady who treated us."
The person who said this was a red-haired girl who looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old.
"We also drank foreign liquor. This is the first time in my life." The girl with short green hair only had an earring on one side, which made her look particularly eye-catching.
Ye Xiaomei glanced at Ye Xiaolin in surprise. She was treating them? No wonder she found the dumpling shop so easily. But how did she really know the monk?
Ye Xiaomei saw Zhao Mei going to make dumplings, and sat down across from Ye Xiaolin leisurely:
"What on earth do you want to do?" There is absolutely no such coincidence.
Ye Xiaolin lowered her eyes and said coldly, "I just want to make a few more friends. I never had fun like this before because my family was poor. Don't you like to play? Shang Zhen, I'll invite you to the Tang family residence tonight to see the world."
When these words were spoken, Shang Zhen and others were extremely surprised, and several dyeing plates screamed excitedly.
"Really? Can we go in? I heard that only big bosses with a lot of influence there are qualified to go in."
