Chapter 367 Four Joys
Just as Lu Qingqing arranged for someone to follow Jin Diandian, an unusual commotion came from the woods.
"What's wrong?"
Mo Lang's brows furrowed. "The sound of swords piercing flesh!"
The two of them rushed inside.
In the woods, two doctors, their abdomens and arms covered in blood, were bandaging themselves.
There were several assassins on the ground whose throats had been slit.
"Girl, after the Gu was removed, they went berserk and grabbed knives to attack people when they woke up. Their eyes are already showing signs of delirium," the soldiers quickly explained.
"It seems they've been under the influence of the curse for a long time. Are there any survivors?"
"Yes, some didn't go crazy, but they weren't lucid either. They were just dumbfounded and didn't know who they were."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Old Pang shouted, "Two more have died!"
Those two were completely oblivious to everything, as if their heads were empty, and now they've suddenly died, bleeding from all seven orifices.
"Alas, the venom of the Gu worms has already damaged his brain; it's been too long," Old Pang sighed.
We haven't even found out who they are!
However, he has at least regained some of his senses.
Although he's not quite normal anymore, he can still remember some things.
As expected, they were all soldiers from Shangguanyu's army.
“Gather them together, treat them with medicine, and see how well they recover.”
Lu Qingqing thought that as long as they were alive, even if they were mentally challenged, even if their families abandoned them, she would still make sure they had a peaceful life for the rest of their days.
On the other side.
Wang Jincai glanced sideways at Wang Mazi and Liu Lizheng, who were still whispering and discussing something.
"Sixi, why do I feel like neither my father nor the village head can remember what your father looks like?"
"His brain is really not working properly, and he's not even seventy or eighty years old yet!"
Si Xi didn't speak; he was removing the poison from someone.
Although he was looking for his father, he was also a doctor.
We need to remove all the Gu poison from these people as soon as possible.
At the same time, needles are inserted into the heads of four or five people. Then, when the Gu worms can no longer bear it and start to move, they can be driven away with needles until they are dug out from the arms.
"Sixi, these people are so pitiful. Few of them have good faces, and some are even missing an ear."
"Sixi, does your dad look a lot like you?"
"Four Joys..."
"Four Joys..."
Wang Jincai kept calling out as he pulled at the person.
Four Joys.
Four Joys.
"Mother, I have a son..."
"Mom, let's call him Sixi."
May you have peace and happiness throughout the four seasons.
The blank, lifeless eyes of one of the assassins flickered, then flickered again.
Four Joys...
"Sixi, I've looked through it briefly, but I couldn't find it. Don't worry, I'll look at it again," Wang Mazi said as he walked over.
Si Xi hummed in agreement: "Thank you, Uncle Ma Zi."
Wang Jincai was displeased: "Open your eyes wider, how can you not find him? Have you forgotten what Uncle Yousheng looks like?"
You have no conscience! You two grew up together!
If it were me, I could recognize Si Xi no matter what he looks like or how many years have passed!
Ptooey!
He quickly blurted out the ominous words: "I will never separate from Sixi."
"Hey, you..." Wang Mazi was about to curse.
The occasion wasn't right, so he didn't yell; he shut his mouth and went looking for something in silence.
He would rather have forgotten than not have Sixi's father in this!
Whether he's dead or alive, at least I'll get to see someone.
"Jin Cai, don't worry. There are so many people here, and they all have scars on their faces. It's really hard to recognize them," Sixi said to Wang Jin Cai.
Wang Jincai grunted in response.
He wasn't in a hurry; he was just worried about Sixi!
Despite being both worried and scared, she still calmly and steadily administered acupuncture to save the person.
No wonder my aunt said that not just anyone can be a doctor.
Even if you kill him at this point, he won't be able to stay calm.
Si Xi was focused on digging out the Gu worms from the person under his hand when the person he had just treated suddenly opened his eyes.
The man's eyes were glazed over and unfocused. He grabbed a stone with both hands and threw it at Sixi.
"Sixi, be careful!" came a hoarse, cracked shout.
Wang Jincai kicked the stone away and pulled Sixi back.
Then the two of them looked in surprise toward the source of the sound.
The man had several scars on his face, causing uneven muscles and asymmetrical features; he was practically disfigured.
father?
Is it Dad?
Si Xi stared wide-eyed at the man, speechless.
"Father, Father... Father, come quickly!" Wang Jincai shouted, jumping up and down.
Like a startled donkey.
Wang Mazi and Liu Lizheng ran over together.
Lu Qingqing, who was in the distance, glanced in this direction and then walked over.
"You Sheng, is that you, You Sheng?" The village head stared at the man.
He had just skimmed through this one and couldn't make heads or tails of it, so he was in a hurry to move on to the next one.
"You have some leftovers, I'm Wang Mazi, the Wang Mazi who lives in the back room of yours! You have some leftovers, don't you?"
The man's eyes glazed over again, and he mumbled something unintelligible.
"Uncle Ma Zi, think quickly, does my father have any other distinguishing features?" Sixi asked anxiously.
“Other features, other features… Let me think, let me think… Ah, that’s it! Your dad was gored by a cow when he was a child, and he has a scar on his stomach from that gore!”
Wang Jincai leaped up and, with lightning speed, ripped open the assassin's clothes.
However, there are several long scars on his stomach, and the small scars from the cow's head are nowhere to be seen.
The assassin's body, however, had developed a habitual memory, wildly waving his arms as if trying to kill, his face contorting into a ferocious expression, and he threw Wang Jincai aside.
"Sixi! What did your aunt teach you?"
Lu Qingqing shouted sharply.
Si Xi was startled, and the panicked look on his face disappeared.
Calm and composed.
Even if it's your own grandmother or aunt, and they're on the verge of death and collapsing in front of you, you must keep your heart and hands steady!
Si Xi seized the opportunity, rushed forward and subdued the man, swiftly inserting silver needles into his Dazhui (GV14) and temples...
Lu Qingqing had also arrived.
"Then insert needles into Neiguan, Qihai, and Yongquan..."
Based on the symptoms of those people bleeding from all seven orifices, Lu Qingqing added acupoints to guide the fire downwards.
But this can only keep people alive for a while; it cannot change their inevitable death.
Now let's see if this is Si Xi's father.
Finally, the father and son were reunited, which put an end to a regrettable matter.
After a series of acupuncture treatments, the person gradually calmed down.
Si Xi placed the last needle at Baihui, which awakened the mind and opened the senses.
"Four joys... Four joys... Four joys..."
The person's muttering voice could finally be heard clearly.
"You're really here!" Wang Mazi shouted excitedly.
"Sixi, he's your father, that's who he is! That's how your father talks!"
When Sixi's dad is in a good mood, he speaks as if he's coaxing people, and he likes to add an "oh" at the end.
That's what it means to have some left over!
How did he become like this?!
If I had known, I wouldn't have argued with him so much before...
Wang Mazi covered his face and began to sob.
Si Xi's tears flowed freely.
"father--"
