Chapter 272 The Road to Begging for Life 3
The town in front of us is still a quiet place. There is not much traffic, and there are only some vegetable farmers or hawkers on the street. People here seem to live a very comfortable life. As soon as Cheng Yao entered the town, she found that there was not even a beggar on the street here. Everyone's houses are the same. I didn't see any big high-ranking government mansions. It seems that the people here are almost the same. There is no difference between poverty and nobility.
When she first entered the town, Cheng Yao saw a sign saying "Beilun Town" hanging on the gate of the town. Cheng Yao was very excited to see that there was finally a place related to "Bei". She quickly walked into the town.
"Mu Xiangdong, shall we find a place to rest first?"
Cheng Yao came to the door of a family and knocked on the door a few times, hoping that the family could take them behind.
The door opened, and an old woman about 70 years old came out.
"Excuse me, what's the matter?"
The old woman said in a slightly trembling voice, not because of fear, but because of the old man's unique kind.
"Old woman, we are from other places. It's getting late. Can we stay with you for a night?"
Cheng Yao spoke very politely and respectfully.
The old woman looked up and down at Cheng Yao and the others, and finally looked at Mu Xiangdong.
Cheng Yao seemed to see something and immediately explained, "Oh, this is my father-in-law. Because of a disease, I took him to see a doctor before I left my hometown."
The old woman saw that Cheng Yao was also a good man, and there was a patient on her back. It was pitiful that she promised to let them live.
With the old woman's permission, Cheng Yao was very happy and went to the old woman's house behind Mu Xiangdong's back. However, Mu Xiangdong suddenly coughed violently, which scared Cheng Yao, who was excited. She quickly walked into the room and put Mu Xiangdong down to see what was wrong.
As soon as Cheng Yao put down Mu Xiangdong, she saw Mu Xiangdong's mouth full of blood.
"What's going on?"
The old woman saw Mu Xiangdong spit blood and said with concern.
"I don't know. I saw that he was fine this morning. How can he spit blood now?"
Cheng Yao trembling anxiously, afraid that Mu Xiangdong would not survive.
After listening to this, the old woman held Cheng Yao's hand and said, "Don't worry, girl, we have a magic doctor here. I'll invite him to have a look. Maybe he can cure your father-in-law's illness? Please sit down here for the time being and wait for me to come back.
The old woman rushed out as she spoke.
Cheng Yao wiped the blood stains off Mu Xiang's mouth with a dry cloth.
After a while, the old woman came back, followed by an old man with a white beard about the same age as her. The old man carried the medicine box commonly used by ordinary doctors on one shoulder.
"Girl, the magic doctor has brought it. Let him see your father-in-law."
The old woman said.
Cheng Yao, who was sitting by the bed, immediately got out of the way.
The magic doctor first took the pulse for a while, then opened Mu Xiangdong's eyelids, and then touched Mu Xiangdong's body.
"How is he, doctor?"
Cheng Yao asked eagerly, but the magic doctor closed his eyes and ignored Cheng Yao's inquiry.
The old woman motioned Cheng Yao to wait quietly, and Cheng Yao didn't ask any more questions.
After a long time, the magic doctor opened his eyes and said, "Your father-in-law must have been poisoned by the skull, right?"
Cheng Yao feels divine. She is really worthy of being a magic doctor. He even knows this skull poison that no one knows. It seems that Mu Xiangdong has been saved. Maybe he doesn't have to go to Beitian Mountain.
"Yes, doctor, you all know that, then you must be able to heal my husband."
Cheng Yao said excitedly, as if she had met a savior.
The magic doctor paused and replied, "I can't solve this poison. I can only temporarily control his toxicity and prevent him from attacking his heart. He vomited blood this time just because the poison has already worked in his body. He will slowly attack his heart and even enter his internal organs. He will slowly die in torture.
The magic doctor said it very carefully, but in Cheng Yao's opinion, there is no medicine to cure Mu Xiangdong, so what he said is a lot of nonsense.
When the magic doctor saw Cheng Yao's disappointed expression, he could almost guess eight or nine points, but no matter what, the magic doctor had no choice. That's all he can do, because this poison is not anything that can be treated.
"May I ask, how did your father-in-law get poisoned?"
The magic doctor wants to know, after all, this poison is not something that ordinary people will get.
"This is how it is..."
Cheng Yao told the magic doctor everything, and the old woman was also standing next to her.
"So that's it. I also know Uncle Chen. At the beginning, he knew it was skull poison from me. I didn't expect him to go back to guard that village. That's great."
The magic doctor sighed.
When Cheng Yao heard that Uncle Chen was here to hear about the skull poison, her eyes immediately lit up.
"So you know that Beitian Mountain? Is the sea ice real?
Cheng Yao asked eagerly.
"No one knows this, because no one has seen this kind of thing, but there is one in Beitian Mountain."
The magic doctor remembered that when he was not so old 20 years ago, he traveled all over the earth to collect medicinal materials. Once he kept walking north to the foot of a mountain. The mountain felt like it was rising from the ground. It was very steep and strangely high, and he could not see the top of the mountain. He thought maybe it was Beitian Mountain.
Originally, he wanted to climb to the top of the mountain to see the legendary sea ice, but the mountain was too high and too steep. In addition, the higher he climbed, the lower the temperature became. The magic doctor climbed down halfway.
"So there is Beitian Mountain, and the legendary sea ice may really exist."
"No one can guarantee this. Think about it, since no one can climb up, how can anyone know that there is really sea ice there? But girl, I think you are also very determined. Just try it. Maybe there is really a herb to cure him.
The magic doctor doesn't know whether there is such a thing or not, so he can't guarantee it.
"That magic doctor, is his life in danger now?"
Cheng Yao asked.
"For the time being, his spitting blood is just a sign of poisoning. When I give him acupuncture, it will relieve his pain."
The old doctor said and took out the bag in the medicine box, took out all the needles, and rubbed them on Mu Xiangdong's head.
The magic doctor's medical skills are still very good. After this, Mu Xiangdong's face looks much better.
"Girl, remember not to let him touch water or give him food, so that you can live longer."
The old magic doctor told her a lot like Uncle Chen. Cheng Yao was very moved and felt that she had met a good person.
"These people are so kind that they must be rewarded."
Cheng Yao thought secretly in her heart.
"Well, I'll go first, Li Ma, I'll go first."
The magic doctor said goodbye to the old woman.
After the old woman sent the magic doctor away, she came in and said to Cheng Yao, "Girl, don't be discouraged. At least there is still hope. When my wife left, she didn't even say a word. At least your husband still has a few months to fight for. I think as long as you don't give up, God will be moved."
The old woman encouraged Cheng Yao.
Cheng Yao's eyes immediately turned red, but her tears had been suppressed by her.
"If you want to cry, cry out, which will make you feel more comfortable."
The old woman hugged Cheng Yao and said to her. Cheng Yao suddenly felt the warmth of her mother in the old woman's arms. Suddenly, her heart softened and she cried.
In this way, the old woman held Cheng Yao and didn't know how long she had been holding her, and Cheng Yao didn't know how long she had cried. She only knew that Cheng Yao cried until there were no tears before she stopped.
"Ha ha, I feel better now. Look, my body is dirty. I haven't taken a shower for a long time, right? It's not like a girl at all. I'll boil water to bathe you.
Before Cheng Yao said thank you, the old woman went out to boil water.
After the old woman left, Cheng Yao's face has not faded with an embarrassed look. After all, her body is dirty and smelly. Not to mention girls, even a boy will not be so unclean.
Seeing the old woman go out, Cheng Yao turned her head and looked at Mu Xiangdong. She knew that Mu Xiangdong was still a little conscious at this time, so she said some words of encouragement.
After a while, the old woman came to tell Cheng Yao that the water was boiled, and Cheng Yao went to take a shower.
After taking a shower, the old woman also prepared dinner for Cheng Yao. Cheng Yao was very grateful for the old woman's hospitality.
Cheng Yao, who has used meals, is much more energetic and has returned to her previous resolute personality.
"Girl, go to bed early. You have to be on your way tomorrow."
The old woman's warm name is Cheng Yao, and her tone is so gentle.
The next morning, Cheng Yao finished breakfast at the old woman's house and was ready to go on the road.
"I really want you to stay for a few more days, but I know you are in a hurry and won't leave you. Please forgive me for the bad hospitality."
The old woman sent Cheng Yao out of the door.
"No, I have to thank you for staying with us for one night. Thank you very much."
Cheng Yao thank you.
"Girl, this is a little dry food for you. There are many demons and monsters along the way. Be careful."
The old woman said.
Cheng Yao gradually disappeared into the town in the eyes of the old woman's blessing.
