Chapter 36 Chapter 36: Dragonscale Horn

"What's wrong?" the village chief asked when he saw me stop. "No!" I hurriedly said, "Does that freak have any other symptoms?" "It's nothing else!" The village chief shook his head and said, "Young man, you don't know, the midwife was frightened at that time, and she only yelled that she was a monster, which attracted everyone in the village to look at it, and then—— came to the village next door. The old man also came over to have a look. My old man discussed with some old people in the village. I am afraid that the child is not a good thing. I want to solve it. But the way the little girl is crying, she is talking about the child, and there is nothing else. Symptoms, staring at me with wide-eyed eyes, and even... even laughing..."

"Such a small child can laugh?" I asked in puzzlement. Anyone with some knowledge knows that a child cannot laugh from birth. The instinctive reaction is to cry, opening his mouth wide and screaming. .Senior obstetricians and gynecologists can know the health status of children as long as they listen to their cries. Most of those with loud and clear voices have well-developed lungs and organs and are physically strong.Only wait until the child is about two to three months old before laughing. It is even explained in modern medicine that people's facial expressions are not innate, many of them are acquired, and laughter is one of them, even the appearance, in addition to congenital chromosomal genetic inheritance, acquired influence is also very important big.

However, this theory has never received substantial evidence. "The old man also feels strange!" said the village chief. "This is really strange!" I shook my head and smiled wryly, "How can such a big child laugh? Ethics, he can only cry!" "That's not it!" The village chief shook his head and said, "I and several experienced old people in the village agree that this child is unlucky, let the little girl get rid of it, if she doesn't do it, leave it to us, we I don't care about being a villain—anyway, my daughter-in-law is young, and her man is also strong and strong. It will be very easy to give birth to another child in less than two years. But the daughter-in-law is reluctant, saying that the child is her lifeblood If we insist on drowning the child, she will take the child and hide in the deep mountains. The old man can't do anything, he can't drive a good woman to the deep mountains to feed the old wolf! Think about it, if the child has nothing else Abnormal, let her keep it!"

The village chief said this in one breath, then shook his head and sighed, and then took a deep puff of the dry pipe. "What happened next?" I asked curiously. "Unexpectedly, the child who looked good at first, was born two days ago, and died inexplicably on the third night. The little girl is crying like something, hey..." The village chief sighed and took another puff of dry pipe "My old man thought, it's good for the unlucky thing to die, but it's not easy to say this in front of the little girl's wife, so I asked two women in the village to comfort her and bury the child." On the Mass Burial Mound in Xishan."

"Ah..." I exclaimed, "Is that child also buried in the mass grave in Xishan?" "Yes!" The village head nodded, "We are in a mountainous area. I heard that in the big cities outside, they are all cremated. After death, nothing will be left behind, only a handful of ashes?" "Well!" I nodded, "Yes, there is nothing. Sometimes I think about it, life is really meaningless. From the moment I make a sound, it means the final outcome of death. The difference is only the process. Early death, To die late is to die..." "That's what you say, but few people can see through it!" The village head shook his head, "Look, my old man is still old enough to see through it!"

"What happened later?" I was curious, and asked again, "The little girl you mentioned, did she have another child, and is the child healthy?" "No!" The village chief shook his head and sighed, "That's why I said that the child is a monster, and he came to harm people!" "How do you say it?" I could hear the indescribable helplessness in the old village chief's tone, and asked hurriedly. "The child died for half a year, and the little girl's wife's man went hunting in the mountains and never came back. The little girl's wife cried herself to death - this is also God's will, but her mother-in-law said that the daughter-in-law's life is hard, she gave birth to evildoers, and she can't die Since then, I have made things difficult for her. I asked my woman to tell her a few times, but it’s just that honest officials can’t break up housework. Send a letter to the natal family of Xiaoya's daughter-in-law, asking them to take Xiaoya back and find someone else to marry." The village chief said.

"It's dangerous to go hunting in the mountains. How can I say that the daughter-in-law forced her to die?" I shook my head, not knowing what to say, and asked, "That little girl, did you get married later?" "Married!" The village head nodded, "Her natal family took her back half a year, and someone came to propose marriage. She looks beautiful, and I don't know how many men liked her at the time. Now, she is in the next village. You can tell me , the man treats her well, and now she is pregnant again!" "That's good!" I nodded with a smile.

While I was talking to the village chief, Wang Jiren's house was already in sight, and Wang Jiren's house was next door to the old village chief's house, so it was very close.I asked the village chief, "Does Dr. Wang have any family?" "No, he's alone!" the village head shook his head. "You didn't introduce him to a woman?" I asked jokingly. "I don't care about it. It's just a doctor, who is always more respected!" The village chief laughed, "Someone in the village next door made him a matchmaker and introduced a pretty girl. That's all!"

"Weird one!" I laughed. "You too!" The village head laughed. "What's wrong with me?" I shook my head busy, I always thought that I was considered normal, at least in our industry, I was much more normal than many people, "My brother is the weirdo, I am a little No wonder!" "Your brother?" The village chief looked at me wonderingly. "Yeah!" I nodded and said, "He's been doing well all these years, relying on the unique skills passed down by his master, he's flourishing in big cities." "Your medical skills are also good, why don't you go to a big city?" the village chief asked in confusion.

"I was also in the city!" I sighed, "After my friend died, I went into and out of the mountains to find medicine, treat people's illnesses, and ask for incense from hundreds of schools." "What kind of medicine are you looking for?" the village chief asked in confusion. "Phoenix Black Lotus Seed!" I smiled wryly, "The legendary thing that can change fate against the sky!" "He's also a weirdo!" The village chief smiled at me, pointed at me with a dry pipe, and said, "You still say you're not a weirdo? It's your destiny, you... think about it, even if you really ask for it." Xianghuo, if you find that miracle medicine, it is impossible for your friend to come back to life."

"Yes!" I nodded and said, "It's impossible for me to change my life against the sky and summon his soul, because I didn't even find his corpse!" "So miserable?" the village head asked in surprise. I nodded and sighed: "When he died, he was less than twenty-one years old! Let's not talk about this, go to that doctor Wang first, it's important to find the antidote." "Yes, yes, yes!" the old village head said, and walked to the door of Wang Jiren's house, and knocked on the door with his fist. However, after watching for a long time, no one came to open the door, and there was a dead silence inside.I wondered in my heart, the village chief slammed the door, even if Wang Jiren fell asleep, he should be woken up at this time, right? "Doctor Wang, I'm the village head!" The village head slapped the door, and when no one agreed, he immediately shouted at the top of his voice. However, the village chief's voice was very loud and he called several times, but Wang Jiren didn't wake him up. The door creaked open at his own house next door. Shanyue came out wearing a coat and saw the village chief and me. , asked: "Father, what are you doing, it's midnight, Doctor Wang must have gone to bed early!" "I want to find him to cure diseases and save lives!" The old village chief shook his head and said, "It's just in time for you to come, let me yell, I think I'm dead asleep, and you don't hear knocking on the door like this?" "Father, you are confused, isn't this a ready-made doctor?" Shanyue pointed at me and smiled. "I don't have an antidote for Wushan's poison, so he must take it!" I spread my hands and smiled wryly. "Oh?" Shanyue glanced at me, didn't ask much, walked to the door, slammed on the door twice, and called, "Doctor Wang, someone is sick, are you at home?" However, despite Shanyue's high voice, the door of Wang Jiren's house was still firmly closed. "This is really strange!" Shanyue said, "Why is Doctor Wang so dead? I'll call at the window, you wait—" He walked towards the window while talking, patted the window, and shouted , "Doctor Wang..." Still no one agreed, I was suspicious in my heart, such a call, unless Wang Jiren was not at home, or he was really dead, otherwise, I heard it no matter what, even if he didn't want to save Wushan, he should have said something. "Haven't you ever looked for Dr. Wang in the middle of the night before?" I asked curiously. "Why not?" The village chief shook his head and said, "Who doesn't have a headache? If you are an adult, you can still bear it for a while. If you are a child, can you not make a fuss in the middle of the night?" "Then—is it so difficult to call the door?" I asked, the village chief and I had yelled more than ten times in front of Wang Jiren's house, and the door slammed loudly, and I wished I could break it open. However, Wang Jiren seemed to be dead, and there was no sound at all. "Never before!" Shanyue shook her head and said, "Doctor Wang is usually a nice person, but if anyone calls at midnight, he will always be there on call. There has never been such a thing." "Is it possible that something happened to Dr. Wang?" I said deliberately. "What happened?" The village chief and Shanyue looked at me in confusion. "Although he is also a doctor himself, but with his body, it is difficult to guarantee that he has a high-blood disease heart disease, God knows—" I spread my hands, and then, asking the village chief, "Shall we go in and have a look?" The village chief and Shanyue understood what I meant in an instant. Obviously, if Wang Jiren didn't open the door, I wanted to break in. After all, this small wooden door really didn't bother me.
