It's because he has a loud voice and a hard-of-hearing wife at home. No matter what he does, he has to tell his wife, otherwise his wife will think he is slacking off somewhere. When she can't find him, she will beat and scold him.
Now everyone knows that he has a stomachache and goes to the toilet several times a day.
Everyone used to say that he was a straightforward person who had to go to the toilet after eating, but now it's like he has a serious illness.
Old Cheng tried his best to refute that he was not sick at the beginning, but in the end, after being scolded by the villagers one after another, he suspected that he was about to die.
The most important thing is that after he himself experienced the symptoms that Lin Anji just mentioned, he also felt that he had a serious illness.
For a moment he panicked.
He is the pillar of the family. If he falls, what will happen to his wife and children?
Not only Lao Cheng was panicked at the scene, but also those who attributed the disease to themselves or their family members were panicked.
"What should I do? Will I die..."
"My son Hu Zi was always crying out for hunger and stomachaches. I thought he was just greedy, so I beat him several times..."
…
Next to the toilet in the old Lin family house, everyone was so panicked that they no longer cared about the unpleasant smell.
There were a few silent people present. Although they did not speak, their faces were pale.
Not only do they have the symptoms that Lin Anji mentioned, they also have the phenomenon of passing white worms.
The toilets here are worlds apart from modern toilets. Even the dry toilets in modern rural areas cannot compare to them.
When the villagers went to the toilet, they held their breath and stared at the two wooden boards under their feet, for fear that someone would accidentally fall into the rice field or pond.
There were not only yellow and white things in there, but also a lot of wriggling maggots. It was disgusting just to think about it, let alone to observe it directly, so not many villagers noticed the maggots.
It is not surprising that roundworms are excreted along with rice fields, but the villagers do not understand it.
In addition, the practice of "fortune-telling" is prevalent in the area, and there have been incidents of people rubbing white bugs out of their eyes. Those people were defined as unlucky people by the "fortune-telling" women.
Once the word "ominous" is put on a person, no matter how noble your previous status and position were, it will eventually make you fall into the dust.
Therefore, when some villagers noticed that someone was expelling worms, they subconsciously concealed it and did not even tell their families.
It is precisely because of this that they have never dared to tell anyone else about the expulsion of the worms, and have kept it hidden deep in their hearts.
Now that the bug has threatened their lives, they don't care about the "ominous person" talk.
They are just farmers, not from wealthy families. As long as they have enough strength, their families will not kick them out.
After realizing this, these people stared at Lin Anji with eager eyes.
Lin Anji was startled by the stare and took a small step back. "What do you want? Want a fight?"
He felt a little weak because he didn't have much experience in fighting!
"Brother Anji, if I just pull the worms out of my stomach, I won't die, right?"
Mr. Li Erye spoke again, expressing the thoughts of the villagers who had just been silenced by the children.
"Yes!" Lin Anji nodded affirmatively. "As long as..."
The villagers, including Mr. Li, breathed a sigh of relief before they even finished listening to what Lin Anji said. Fortunately, they had all pulled the worms out.
"...Just take some medicine to expel all the bugs, big and small, and their eggs from your stomach."
After Lin Anji finished speaking the second half of his words, the scene was once again...
silence.
They thought about it and seemed that they had never seen the little bugs, or maybe they had not paid attention to them!
It’s fine as long as they are excreted. If the small bugs are not excreted, just wait for them to grow up and then be excreted slowly.
These villagers thought it didn't matter, as long as they didn't die, it was fine. Taking medicine was out of the question. It didn't cost money, right?!
Only Master Li frowned: "Do I really need to take medicine? Can't I just poop it out myself?"
Seeing someone asking questions, Lin Anji's mind raced, recalling what his third brother had said last night, before answering:
"Yes, you must take medicine. If you don't, only when there are a large number of worms in your stomach and they die can they be excreted. The rest will still torture you in your stomach."
"call!"
The villagers' faces turned pale again.
The rest of the villagers who didn't know what had happened to them came to their senses based on their conversation and expressions and realized what was happening.
Several villagers who were originally watching closely took several steps back silently after learning about the situation, looking at them as if they were carrying the virus.
The naked look of disgust made the villagers feel uncomfortable, but they didn't have time to argue with them now. The most important thing at the moment was their lives.
"Mr. Lin, how much did it cost to see the doctor and pick up the medicine?" It was Mr. Li who asked the question again.
He is old, so if he dies, it will save some food for the family.
It's the grandson in the family...
It would be best if he could spend money to save his life, as long as his family can afford it.
His family is not very lucky with children. Starting from his generation, no matter how many children he has, in the end there will only be one left.
The child in the family now is the only child in their family.
A few days ago, his grandson cried and pulled out worms. He and his wife also knew about the "ominous" rumors.
There's only one grandchild in the family, and no matter how "unclear" the fate is, we can't just throw the child away, right?!
They had no choice but to keep the matter secret.
Normally, he would appear cheerful as usual in public, but behind the scenes, his inner troubles were growing day by day.
When Lin Anji told him about his child's illness, he was moved.
If this were just an illness and not "unknown", things would be much easier.
Even if the family members of an unknown person do not despise him, there is no guarantee that the people around him will not despise him. Rumors are scary. He has lived for most of his life and knows how terrible it is.
Lin Anji's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he spoke out the words he had prepared long ago: "Master Li, this amount of money is not too high, but it is not too low either. Generally speaking, two or three hundred coins will do."
"Why is it so cheap? Maybe I was cheated."
Before Mr. Li could say anything, the villagers spoke first.
"Sixth Auntie, I'm telling the truth. I wouldn't joke about my own children." Lin Anji said seriously.
Granny Liu: "Then tell me, which doctor did you go to? It cost so little. My consultation fees alone were more than this amount before."
Lin Anji straightened his back and said proudly, "That's because she doesn't charge for consultations, only for medicine."
"Wow!"
The villagers were shocked. Where did this Bodhisattva doctor come from? He didn’t even charge for the consultation.
