Chapter 24 Section 23

On New Year's Eve, I went to my uncle's house for a middle-aged meal, and couldn't help asking my grandfather about Jiutuo.Although Changshan Village is only a few mountains away from Wentian Village and Huamei Village, the customs of Chinese New Year are different.We in Changshan Village have an early New Year’s meal, that is, we have a New Year’s meal early in the morning on New Year’s Eve to start the New Year’s Eve.Wentian Village celebrates the New Year's dinner, and the dinner on New Year's Eve is the beginning of the New Year's Eve.In the thrush village where grandpa lived, middle-aged meals were eaten, and breakfast was casual as usual. At noon, the gate was closed, the gate was closed, and the gate was re-opened with firecrackers to announce the arrival of the New Year.

So I often celebrate the New Year twice a day, eating early meals at my own home, and then going to grandpa’s for middle-aged meals. If I had asked these things on the first day of the new year when I was a child, I would have been criticized by my grandpa, but this time he didn't seem to care. "How could I help him? I promised not to take care of these things." Grandpa laughed. "But he's fine." I didn't believe it. "What does it matter to me if he is well?" Grandpa raised his chopsticks and asked.Even during Chinese New Year, he still has to use serving chopsticks.

"He did it according to the method you said." I refused to let go. Grandpa waved the serving chopsticks and said, "I don't have the slightest credit for this. It's his luck that Jiu Tuo is healed. I guess that he became pimples because he was poisoned by the dog, like a wool boy. Whenever he eats dog meat, he feels hot and uncomfortable. It’s just that Jiu Tuo’s body is more sensitive to dog meat, so he turned into that frightening appearance. It doesn’t matter which dog tooth he uses to open the wound, the key is to let him bleed some bad blood , the bad blood flowed out, and those illnesses will naturally heal.”

"Then what happened to him biting people like a mad dog at home? He even broke free from the iron chain. Could it be Second Grandma's dog doing the trick?" I asked. Grandpa said casually: "It's like having a high fever. It's the heat generated by the body's resistance fighting against the virus. It's the same with Jiu Tuo. After the bad blood is released, his resistance can fight the virus. So he has a high fever. Talking nonsense like that is insane. As for the chain, he said that when he came to thank me the other day, he was already well at that time, regaining consciousness like a person with a fever, so just use the key to open the lock on the chain Yeah. So, this matter has nothing to do with that dog from the beginning to the end, and it has nothing to do with me. I just said a way to send him away, and he cured himself by mistake. "

Although my grandfather said it perfectly, I still don't believe it.In particular, he used a high fever as an example, which confuses me even more. When did grandpa study the principle of high fever so clearly?Maybe he prepared an excuse in advance, just waiting for me or someone else to ask. But after this incident, Jiutuo was reborn again. He no longer sneaked around, but worked diligently.His family situation improved immediately, and not long after, matchmakers from all over the world began to step into the threshold of his family.However, at this time, Jiu Tuo was not in a hurry, and sent back the matchmakers who had worked so hard to come one by one.

Later, he actually raised a dog!
