Chapter 251 Powerless
The villagers also gathered around and began to persuade him.
"Old aunt, the scholar is really acting strangely. He might have run into some evil spirit. Please ask someone to take a look at him."
"That's right. Look at how crazy the scholar was just now, jumping up and down, shouting and yelling. It was really scary."
"Exactly. Look at him now. His eyes are lifeless, he's in a daze, like a fool. He's definitely possessed by an evil spirit."
"If this isn't cured quickly, what will happen to it in the future? Auntie, you have to hire someone to take a look at it quickly. Don't be reluctant to spend money."
"I heard there's a shaman in our neighboring village who specializes in curing this kind of strange disease. He's very effective. Why don't we send someone to invite him over?"
"Shaman dance probably won't work. I think I should go to the temple and pray, and ask for a talisman or something to ward off evil spirits. Maybe that will work."
"In my opinion, it would be better to invite a Taoist priest to perform a ritual to exorcise the evil spirits, and then invite the shaman as well. With a two-pronged approach, it will definitely heal."
"Yes, yes, that's a good idea!"
"Okay, what you said is not right. My brother-in-law was definitely not possessed by evil spirits or ghosts." Liu Dashan squeezed forward from outside the crowd.
When Old Lady Chen heard this, she hurriedly asked Liu Dashan, "Father-in-law, what do you think happened to Zhan Cai?"
Chen Qingqing in the crowd was stunned. Did he see something?
If he could cure the poison, she wouldn't be able to punish the arrogant villain.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Liu Dashan frown and say, "In my opinion, Zhan Cai must have been bitten by a dog and contracted rabies."
"Oh, my dear old relative, please stop talking nonsense. My Zhancai is a scholar. Why would he run to a pile of mad dogs for no reason? You are talking nonsense!"
"You make it sound like mad dogs won't bite scholars." Liu Dashan looked sad and shook his head repeatedly. "If you really have rabies, there's no cure. You'd better prepare for your funeral!"
Hearing what Liu Dashan said, Liu Fengjiao on the side was not happy. "Dad, how can you talk like that? Zhan Cai just behaved a little abnormally, why are you preparing for his funeral?"
"My silly girl, you don't know that being bitten by a mad dog means death. Have you forgotten that there was a man named Wang Laoba in our village who was bitten by a mad dog and died within three days."
Liu Fengjiao said sullenly, "Dad, I know better than you whether Zhan Cai has been bitten by a dog, so don't worry about it."
"What? Never been bitten by a dog?" Liu Dashan was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "You know he hasn't been bitten by a dog, but do you know if he's ever stepped on dog poop?"
Liu Fengjiao stamped her feet in anger, "Dad, are you done yet? How did this get involved with dog shit again?"
"You silly boy, you don't understand anything. I won't talk to you." Liu Dashan looked at Old Lady Chen, "Mother-in-law, regardless of whether Zhancai was bitten by a dog or not, I think he is 80% likely to have rabies. If you don't believe me, find a doctor and you will know for sure."
"If anything happens to Zhancai, it will cost me my life!" Old Mrs. Chen was so anxious that she jumped up and down and shouted to Chen Zhanliang, "Second brother, don't just stand there like an idiot. Go get a doctor."
Stepping on dog shit? Rabies? Listening to the conversation, Chen Qingqing almost couldn't help laughing.
Chen Zhancai really has a terrible teammate. He must suffer today.
"Okay, I'll go right away." Chen Zhanliang turned around and was about to leave when Dabao beside him called him back, "Dad, where can you find a doctor? My sister Qingqing can cure illnesses!"
"Yes, yes, yes. Look at my brain. How could I have forgotten this?" Chen Zhanliang said, looking at Old Lady Chen. "Mom, Qing girl can treat illnesses. Can you quickly ask her to take a look at Zhancai?"
"Her?" Old Lady Chen glanced at Chen Qingqing sideways, then waved her hand at Chen Zhanliang, "Don't make things more complicated. Go get the doctor right away."
"Mom, saving people is the most important thing now. This is not the time for you to act up or lose your temper."
"Yes, old lady, Zhan Liang is right. Saving lives is important. If something unexpected happens, it will be too late to regret. You should ask Qing Yatou to help take a look!" Wu Baoan also began to persuade.
Old Mrs. Chen was muttering in her heart. Last winter, when people in the village had some minor illness or disaster, they were all cured by this dead girl.
Even a blind cat catching a dead mouse is not so lucky.
Furthermore, Chen Zhanliang's leg was broken, and he thought he would become disabled, but unexpectedly, he was cured by the dead girl.
Based on these, we can conclude that her medical skills are indeed good.
But this damned girl has always been at odds with the Third Brother's family. If I let her treat my precious son, what if she has a bad conscience and does something bad or doesn't try her best to treat him? If something unexpected happens, it will be too late to regret it...
In a flash, Old Lady Chen analyzed the pros and cons thoroughly, and she decided not to use Chen Qingqing.
"Baoan, I know you're worried about Zhancai, but this is a matter of life and death. We should go to the next village and ask Doctor Wang for help. After all, he's older and more experienced."
Wu Baoan shook his head helplessly, "Okay, Zhancai is your son, I support your decision."
Old Mrs. Chen breathed a sigh of relief. If Wu Baoan insisted that the dead girl treat her precious son, she really had no way to refuse.
Looking at Chen Zhanliang standing there motionless, Old Lady Chen was furious and cursed with a sullen face, "You bastard, what are you still doing standing there? Go to the next village and ask a doctor to come over."
Chen Zhanliang was so angry that he had to let someone with high medical skills run errands instead of using him.
I really want to give up, but Chen Zhancai is now a scholar, exempted from corvée and taxes, and the family's life will definitely get better and better.
If you act foolishly now, they might become ungrateful and cruel, and all your previous efforts will be in vain.
Thinking of this, he quickly ran out of the yard.
Chen Qingqing watched coldly. The Datura stramonium in her space had been highly purified. No one except her could diagnose what was going on, and there was no way anyone could detoxify Chen Zhancai.
Guihua Village was not far away. In just a stick of incense, Chen Zhanliang and Doctor Wang returned.
At this moment, Chen Zhancai stretched out his legs, his eyes wide open, and he let out a whining sound...
Ruhua was the same, her limbs twisting non-stop, her bruised face flickering between joy and anger, her expression shifting unpredictably...
After asking about the symptoms, Doctor Wang hurried forward to take the pulse of the two. After the examination, his expression became more solemn, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Old Mrs. Chen looked anxious and couldn't help asking, "Doctor Wang, what's wrong with my son and daughter-in-law?"
Doctor Wang shook his head and sighed, "Old sister-in-law, to be honest, I have been practicing medicine for many years and have never seen such a strange disease. I really can't diagnose the cause. You should seek help from someone else!"
Guihua Village and Nanshan Village are separated by a river, and the Chen family's character has long been a laughing stock between the two villages. Now that Chen Zhancai has passed the imperial examination and become a scholar, Doctor Wang does not want to get into trouble, so he picked up his medicine box and left in a hurry.
Old Mrs. Chen collapsed to the ground, covering her face and crying loudly, "My life is so miserable! My son just passed the imperial examination and I have to send him off. How can I live like this?"
Old man Chen also kept wiping away tears.
Wu Baoan's expression was calm and composed. "Alright, Zhancai is not dead yet. Let Qingya take a look at him. Maybe he can be saved."
