As the fire below grew stronger and stronger, you could clearly see the heat rising from the huge steamer, and the unique smell of mugwort dispersed in the surrounding air.
Uncle Wu saw me standing behind, holding the wheelchair in a daze, and said with a smile, "What? You can't figure out what I'm going to do?"
I nodded honestly, not knowing what Uncle Wu wanted to do.
"I'm using the shape to help the yang. These people can't wake up just with those mugwort and medicinal materials alone. I also have some specialties with this steamer."
I looked at the steamer and thought to myself, this is really fancy. Who would buy such a big steamer so that the whole family can have a sauna and sauna together every day?
Maybe because he saw that I didn't understand the meaning of the conversation, Uncle Wu was a little helpless, "Silly girl, doesn't it smell like wine? This steamer is the one used by wineries in other villages to steam grains. Wine is a thing that connects the three realms. Yangjiu
It’s even more untouchable by ghosts. I use the winery’s steamer to soak in the essence of food all year round.”
When Uncle Wu said this, I immediately understood that this steamer really had something to say!
"I understand. The steamer in the winery not only comes into contact with the essence of grains grown through photosynthesis every day, but it is also infused with the aroma of wine all year round. This steamer is a thing of the sun!"
Seeing that I wanted to understand the key, Uncle Wu nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, that's what it means!"
I don’t know how long it took, but after the steamer was simmering for a while, Uncle Wu asked people to remove the firewood below, leaving the pot to continue to simmer. When the steam could no longer hurt anyone, he put the nine young people in it.
Steam it on top.
The heat will cause the pores all over their body to open, allowing the medicinal ingredients in the water vapor to enter the body.
Without opening my eyes, I could vaguely see clouds of black smoke floating above the cauldron, which should be the last remaining ghost poison and yin energy.
When it rose into the air, it was swallowed and covered by water vapor and disappeared without a trace.
Until the steam becomes smaller, the water temperature completely drops and becomes cool, and several people sit up in the big steamer.
The onlookers cheered excitedly, but those people looked confused. When they saw where they were, they were all so frightened that they struggled to crawl out.
The villagers who cried with joy when they saw their children come back to life gathered around, but their eyes were looking at Uncle Wu, "Uncle, can the children come down?"
Uncle Wu had a smile on his face and waved his hand, "Why don't you pull it down when you're awake? Take it home and take good care of it, replenish your blood, and don't leave the house if it gets dark at night!"
"Hey...thank you Uncle Wu, thank you Sanman!"
I didn't expect that the villagers would thank me. I couldn't adapt to it, so I nodded awkwardly and stiffly.
Those people helped their family members and left. In the end, only Zhou Xi was left in the pot, and he had not yet woken up.
It was getting late, and after this magical operation, it was going to be dark soon. The lights were already on in the wards of the health center. The village chief and his family were the most anxious, and they were surrounding the big pot.
The village chief's wife ran over with tears on her face and was about to kneel down to Uncle Wu, but Lang Hongyi and I stopped her.
"Uncle Wu, what's wrong with my Xizi? Everyone else is fine, why is he still like this? You must come up with a solution and save my Xizi!"
The village chief was also so anxious that his eyes were red. The affairs at home and in the village these days had made the old village chief almost exhausted, and his gray hair had increased a lot.
He took his wife and begged together, "Lao Wu, what should I do next? I'm counting on you!"
Uncle Wu frowned, and after a long time he said, "Okay, let's get the person down first and carry him home. Let's go back and talk!"
In the courtyard of Zhou Changgui's house, his second son is currently repairing the burnt door with tools. He has some carpentry skills, polishing and painting the undeformed door, and the work is considered to be decent.
At Uncle Wu's signal, I pushed the electric wheelchair into his house and watched people carrying Zhou Xi into his house in a hurry.
Farmers have a very high threshold for entering the house, and I don’t know what era this is a rule handed down, so we stopped, and Uncle Wu also took this time to explain his conjecture to me.
"I was so tormented before that Zhou Xi didn't even wake up. I think he probably had a private relationship with the ghost-married girl... Wait a minute, open your eyes and go into the northwest corner of his house and take a closer look to see if there is anything unusual.
"
Maybe because I am a woman, Uncle Wu said it tactfully, but I already understood the meaning.
Ancient books record that there are seven orifices in life, and each of these seven orifices has the potential to release yang and cross yin.
If Zhou Xi was already married to the ghost-married girl, then the ghost poison in his body would definitely be hundreds of times stronger than those in those people.
What needs to be investigated here is not only human affairs, but also ghost affairs.
Fortunately, Zhou Xi is a man and will not cause any ghost fetuses. If the victim is a female, it would be a lot of trouble to prevent the formation of ghost fetuses.
The people in the room came out and carried Uncle Wu's wheelchair in. I nodded slightly to him, quietly opened my eyes with the accumulated willow leaf water, and headed towards the room where Zhou Xi lived.
Lang Hongyi was by my side from beginning to end, so he naturally knew what I was going to do and followed closely.
When I entered the door, he vigilantly tapped the inner world on my back. The small wooden sword in his hand was already in his hand.
The furnishings in the room were normal, but the surrounding air was cold and cold. Even though many strong men had brought people in just now, they could not dispel the gloomy atmosphere in the room.
Zhou Xi was lying under the quilt, his face was pale and bloodless, and his eyes were closed tightly. I turned my head and looked toward the northwest corner according to Uncle Wu's instructions. This is where the ghost gate is.
In the northwest corner of the house, there is a set of large wardrobes with a small mirror on it, which was often seen in rural areas in the old days but has long been eliminated by people in the city. There are also some miscellaneous small things on it.
The cold feeling was emanating from the cabinet door next to the northwest corner. After opening my eyes, I could clearly see that wisps of black air were still leaking out from the crack in the door.
.
This is a cabinet door that is about less than one meter above the ground and is directly close to the roof. It should be a place for hanging clothes.
Lang Hongyi and I looked at each other, and I could tell from his eyes that he also noticed something strange here.
I cautiously approached the cabinet door, raised my hand, and was about to open the cabinet door and quickly retreat, when the unconscious man on the kang suddenly shouted, "Don't move!"
This voice not only caused my men to open the cabinet door without stopping, but also a group of Zhou family members ran in from outside.
When they heard Zhou Xi's voice, they probably thought that the person had woken up, but they didn't expect to face such a scene when they came in.
Zhou Xi did move. From the lying position, he threw himself on the edge of the kang. Half of his body was hanging underneath the kang, and he might slip off at any time.
Ouch... a voice suddenly came out of the cabinet door, like a child's cry or a woman's scream.
In my hand, I held up a cabinet door panel that had been pulled off due to excessive force, blocking a black cat that rushed out from inside.
Just now, when I opened the cabinet door and Zhou Xi shouted, the reason why I was so frightened was because I saw the black cat's shining vertical pupils in the dark cabinet.
The frightened black cat threw away the bloody toad it had bitten in its mouth, let out a piercing scream, and nimbly fled inside the house. In a few moments, it slipped out of the door through the gap between people's feet and ran away.
No trace.
The group of people, who were also frightened, looked at me stupidly, but Zhou Xi's brother couldn't stand it, so he walked in and helped his brother's body to the kang.
