Chapter 487: It's not a curse, it's a poison
Xie Yingmian asked Yu Lingye for help.
Yu Lingye was also confused.
This relationship took several turns. He thought for a while and asked uncertainly, "Cousin?"
Lu Hesheng immediately called out crisply, "Cousin, uncle."
Xie Yingmian and Yu Lingye: ...
Okay.
My cousin is my cousin.
Xie Yingmian handed lotus leaf chicken, lotus leaf pork ribs, lotus leaf pancakes and other items to Lu Hesheng.
Lu Hesheng had already smelled the fragrance.
He was trying hard to hold back his saliva.
Xie Yingmian said, "Keep it. This is a little gift from my aunt and uncle."
Lu Hesheng hesitated for a while and shyly took the food.
The aroma of lotus leaf chicken filled his nose, and he almost cried as he looked at the sizzling chicken.
He has no memory before the age of three.
From the age of three to twelve, because my father was insane, my grandparents had to do odd jobs to earn money, and we could only barely have a bite of meat on New Year's Eve.
He hasn't eaten meat for three or four years since his grandparents died.
Lu Hesheng even felt that if he could eat this chicken and a pile of ribs, he would be willing to die.
"Eat it." Xie Yingmian said, "It won't taste good if it gets cold."
"Look how thin you are. I heard from the owner of Lai Fu Inn that you are almost twelve years old, but you look less than ten. You need to eat more."
Lu Hesheng finally couldn't hold back his tears.
Ever since his grandparents died, no one has cared about him this much.
He didn't care to be hypocritical anymore.
He divided all the food into two portions and wolfed down his own portion.
He ate so fast and furiously that he choked.
Yu Lingye casually handed over a cup of lotus drink.
The lotus drink is made of lotus and honey, and the taste is very ordinary. Xie Yingmian doesn't like it, and Yu Lingye doesn't like it either.
But Lu Hesheng, who had rarely eaten sweet food, liked it.
Lu Hesheng drank it all in one breath, his stomach was full and he felt satisfied.
Xie Yingmian waited until Lu Hesheng finished eating before asking, "Can I see your father?"
Lu Hesheng burped and said, "Aunt, I won't hide it from you. After my father was cursed, he was dazed during the day. He didn't respond when anyone called him, and he didn't eat or drink water. He would be more active at night and would eat something and drink some water, but at that time he was very strong and would always run outside like crazy."
"On full-moon nights, my father would briefly regain consciousness, only to relapse into madness again. During the day, he would become sluggish again."
"At this time, my father can't communicate with you, and he can't recognize you."
"Besides, my father is cursed. If you get close to him, you might be affected by the curse..."
Xie Yingmian: "We are not afraid of curses, open the door."
Lu Hesheng hesitated.
At Xie Yingmian's request, the door was finally opened.
As Lu Hesheng said,
The people in the room were stunned and didn't react when someone came in.
Lu Wang was very thin, so thin that he was just skin and bones, and his eyes were staring blankly at the ceiling.
Rather than a madman, he is more like a fool.
Xie Yingmian took two steps forward.
Lu Hesheng wanted to stop it, but was stopped by Yu Lingye.
"Watch." Yu Lingye said, "Your cousin is a doctor."
In order to prevent Lu Wang from struggling, Xie Yingmian gave him an injection first.
Lu Wang soon fell asleep.
Xie Yingmian took Lu Wang's pulse and his expression became more and more serious.
The pulse is taken.
Xie Yingmian came into the main room.
She said to Yu Lingye, "He's been poisoned."
Yu Lingye was not surprised by this answer.
Lu Hesheng's eyes widened: "Poisoned?"
"You mean, my father was poisoned, not cursed?"
Xie Yingmian said, "Yes."
"If I'm not mistaken, this insect should be called the Sun and Moon Soul-Bewitching Gu."
"The Sun and Moon Soul-Loving Gu releases two different toxins under moonlight and sunlight respectively."
"On full-moon nights, the Sun and Moon Soul-Loving Gu releases a potent toxin that stimulates the victim's nerves, briefly regaining consciousness."
"As the moon gradually sets in the west, the moonlight weakens, and the poison released by the insect also weakens. The weakened poison is not enough to wake the person who has been poisoned, so the person who has been poisoned behaves like a madman."
"When there's no moon or it's daytime, the insect will release another toxin. This toxin is highly irritating and corrosive. After stimulating the victim's nervous system, they will become confused and lose control of their behavior, becoming like an idiot."
Lu Hesheng felt cold all over when he heard this.
His lips trembled: "Then, can it be cured?"
Xie Yingmian said, "Of course."
"only……"
Lu Hesheng breathed a sigh of relief, then he raised it again: "Cousin, please speak."
Xie Yingmian said, "It's not difficult to remove this poisonous insect. You need a plant called Sun Moon Grass, which can lure the insect out."
"But the insect has been in his body for too long. Even if it is removed, he won't be able to recover."
Xie Yingmian felt a little reluctant: "Your father has been suffering from the erosion of these two toxins for many years. His nerve center has been damaged a long time ago. He is still alive because the two toxins affect each other and form a balance."
"If this balance is broken, he might..."
Before Xie Yingmian finished speaking, Lu Hesheng already understood.
The balance has been broken, and his father may not be able to hold on for much longer.
Lu Hesheng knelt down and said, "Please ask my cousin to help my father get rid of the poisonous insect. I, I will try my best to find the Sun and Moon Grass."
Xie Yingmian: "Have you made up your mind?"
Lu Hesheng nodded: "It's decided. I think my father would also like to die in a conscious state and as a normal person."
Xie Yingmian nodded slightly.
This child has a good character.
"Without the Sun Moon Grass, it's difficult to lure the insects out. However, I can use acupuncture to put them into a dormant state, reducing the erosion of the insect's toxins on the nerve center."
Lu Hesheng immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Please, cousin, save my father."
Xie Yingmian: "Stop knocking, get up quickly."
"This thatched hut is too small and there's not enough space. I need someone to move your father to Laifu Inn."
Lu Hesheng hesitated: "Laifu Inn may not let my father and I in."
Xie Yingmian: "Don't worry, Zang Song."
Zang Song shows up and takes Lu Wang away.
When Lu Hesheng saw the Tibetan pine tree appear out of nowhere, his eyes lit up.
No matter how young he was, he knew that he and his father had met a true benefactor.
"Thank you, auntie, and thank you, uncle."
Yu Lingye felt elated by the calls of his uncle.
This name is good, and the child is quite sensible.
"Let's go." His usually cold tone was rarely a little gentler.
Lu Hesheng scratched his head and said, "You guys go ahead, I'll sell the herbs first."
"How much can you sell this basket of herbs for?" Xie Yingmian asked curiously.
This herb is of really good quality.
Even if it is not processed, this basket can be sold for at least four or five hundred coins.
Lu Hesheng: "Thirty cents."
"Thirty cents?" Xie Yingmian was shocked by the low price. "Which pharmacy did you sell it to?"
Lu Hesheng: "I'm not selling it to the pharmacy, I'm selling it to Uncle Niu next door. We are cursed people, and the pharmacy won't accept my herbs at all. So, I sell it to Uncle Niu, and let him sell it to the pharmacy."
