Yun Youtian stopped walking outside, turned around, nodded to Wang Xuemei, and said, "Alright, Fusheng's wife, what are your thoughts? Tell me."
Wang Xuemei had already prepared her words for a long time, and seeing that Yun Youtian was willing to listen to her, she was naturally happy. She quickly pretended to hesitate and said, "Dad, although the doctor said that Mom's illness is probably an allergy, he's not sure, is he? I think we should prepare for both possibilities, right?"
"Hmm?" Yun Youtian frowned subconsciously, then asked, "What do you mean by 'two-pronged approach'? I don't quite understand what you mean."
Wang Xuemei continued, "Dad, this is what I'm saying. You know, even though it's almost spring, the weather is still so cold that it's no exaggeration to say it's still winter. Not to mention insects, even fleas on the bed can't survive, let alone the insects in the open fields outside."
"Besides, not to mention you, even I have lived in this village for so many years and have never heard of any insect that is so powerful."
“I think maybe my mom accidentally offended something. How about we... invite a skilled shaman to come back and exorcise the evil spirits from her?”
"Of course, I know this might not work, but it's always worth a try. It's still a way." As he spoke, his eyes flickered slightly, but then he added 'sincerely', "Anyway, hiring a sorceress costs at most a chicken, a bowl of rice, and 12 cents. It's cheaper than taking medicine, don't you think?"
Yun Youtian still felt a pang of heartache thinking about the things he would need to hire a "spirit medium." After all, he had already spent a considerable amount of money, and the chickens and rice at home could all be sold for cash.
However, upon further reflection, the medicine is so expensive. If it's effective, who knows how long I'll have to take it? It costs several dollars a day. In just a few days, it will drain all the money in the house.
If the medicine doesn't work, you have to go to a traditional doctor, which still costs money.
We've already wasted over ten yuan, so what's a little more? If it works, it'll be a win-win situation. Besides, we might be able to return the remaining medicine, and if we can get a few yuan back, that would just cover the cost of hiring the sorceress, which would be great.
After thinking it over, Yun Youtian made a decision. He nodded and said, "Fusheng's wife, what you said makes some sense. In that case, let's invite a shaman to come back and exorcise the evil spirits. If it works, your mother will suffer less."
Then, he turned to Yun Fusheng and instructed him: "Fusheng, make the fire burn brighter. After you finish eating, go and invite a spirit medium. I heard... that Guo spirit medium in Sanli Township is very powerful. Go and invite her later. Say nice things and choose an auspicious time for her to come and exorcise evil spirits for your mother. Today would be best. You know your mother's condition. Dragging it out will only cause her more suffering. Do you understand?"
Yun Fusheng nodded, but couldn't help but 'advise': "Dad, when you're sick, you should see a doctor and take medicine. Would it be useless to ask a sorceress for help? Sorceresses don't cure diseases."
"You brat, don't talk nonsense. How can the fairy not cure diseases? If the fairy can't cure diseases, why would so many people go to ask her for help? Let me tell you, you better watch what you say later. If you anger the fairy, she'll make you suffer, and I won't apologize for you."
