Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 586 Fu Da

The young men still looked frightened and moved slowly towards this side, their speed comparable to that of a turtle.

It was the middle-aged steward who cared more about the old man. He came forward and helped Song Ying pull him up from the ground.

Song Ying observed his movements and standing posture, and it seemed that his legs did not show any signs of injury, so he said, "You go in first. My uncle and senior brothers are here. Let them take a look at you first."

The wealthy old man nodded and said, "Okay, thank you, young doctor."

He glared at the young men again and said, "You useless bastards, what are you still standing there for? Get out of here right now! I'm getting mad just looking at you guys eating for free!"

After cursing, he turned around and was about to go in, but when one foot stepped over the threshold, the other foot was actually retreating. Caught off guard, he split his legs again and almost fell.

"Master, be careful!" the middle-aged steward exclaimed and hugged him to prevent him from falling.

Song Ying blinked and his eyes fell on his left leg as it retreated. He was very confused. The movement of lifting his leg when he retreated was very natural. It didn't look like a twitch caused by a meridian problem. That was the normal movement of a leg when it retreated.

She was no longer in a hurry to get the food. She faced the scorching sun and said gently, "Tell me about your illness. What are the symptoms?"

The wealthy old man gave a bitter laugh and said, "My name is Zhou Dafu, from Fushun, Xuzhou. A few years ago, I was transporting salt to Chengdu. On the way, I was robbed by robbers and I was chopped on the head. The wound has healed..."

Chengdu is the provincial capital and the capital of Jinchuan.

"His head was chopped off? Where was it chopped off?" Song Ying was so shocked that he couldn't help but interrupt. The robber's chopping was definitely different from an ordinary person being accidentally cut by a knife. He was so lucky to survive!

Zhou Dafu lowered his head and pointed to a spot on top of his head. "Here, there was a lot of blood. I fainted, and because my face was covered in blood, the robbers thought I was dead and left me alone. Later, the government officials arrived and found that I was still breathing, so they took me to the hospital and saved my life."

There was no need to reach out and look carefully. As he parted the hair on top, Song Ying saw a long scar slightly behind the top of the head. That was the bald spot, which Chow Tai Fook had covered with the hair in front.

The head is a delicate place. Although Song Ying often pricks the acupuncture points on the top of the head when giving acupuncture, she doesn't know much about the brain.

It's not just her, Dr. Lin is the same. She once said that she was most afraid of encountering patients with brain diseases, some of which were completely inexplicable and she had no idea how to treat them.

Some people were only hit lightly on the back of their heads by the door frame and died in the blink of an eye; others had shattered skulls and slightly leaked brain matter, but were able to survive the high fever of the dog days and finally lived well.

The human brain is like a wordless book - their needle tips can touch the veins under the skin, but they cannot explore the mysteries hidden deep in the marrow.

Zhou Dafu said with a bitter face, "After I recovered from my illness, I found that my left hand would sometimes become uncontrollable. I would try to button my clothes, but as soon as I buttoned them with my right hand, it would immediately undone me. I thought I was possessed by an evil spirit, so I quickly went to see a monk or a Taoist priest to exorcise the evil spirit.

But it didn't help at all, and it got worse. Not only did my hands not obey me, but my legs didn't obey me either. I couldn't walk or take a step, and I had no idea when it would start to act up."

Everyone around him thought he was possessed by an evil spirit. Some even said that the original Chow Tai Fook had died at the hands of the robbers long ago, and the one who was alive now was a ghost crawling out of hell.

Chow Tai Fook was a businessman, and these rumors had a great impact on his business. The merchants he cooperated with stopped cooperating with him, and even the salt sold in his store was boycotted by the people, saying that the salt was contaminated with the evil spirit he had.

Although Chow Tai Fook also felt that he was possessed by evil spirits, he did not think that he was replaced by an evil spirit. He felt that if an evil spirit possessed him, it would control his hands and feet.

First it was his left hand, then his left foot, and one day, the evil spirit might really replace him.

So he gave up his business and wanted to find a great monk who could help him expel the evil spirits from his body.

Some time ago, when he was drinking tea in a teahouse in Chengdu, he overheard people talking about the candidates who had passed the imperial examination this year. Someone mentioned Lu Xu, the top scorer in the Book of Songs. It was said that he had been retaliated by the locust tree spirit in the past, and he would get malaria whenever he went to take the imperial examination. Fortunately, Taoist Yuanrong of Qingfeng Temple exorcised the evil spirit, and he was able to pass the imperial examination successfully.

After hearing about it, Zhou Dafu immediately went to ask Lu Xu, and heard him personally admit that the rumors were true. He was so happy that he took his housekeeper and several servants and traveled day and night to Qingshui County.

Early this morning, he went to Qingfeng Temple, but after hearing about his experience, Taoist Master Yuanrong said that only a person with great fortune could survive a disaster, and ghosts would not dare to approach such a person easily.

He said he was not possessed by evil spirits but was sick, and asked him to come to Huichuntang for a try.

After recounting the entire story in one breath, Zhou Dafu eagerly asked, "Little Doctor, do you know of this disease?"

After listening to Taoist Master Yuanrong's words today, Zhou Dafu felt that the huge stone that had been weighing on his heart for a long time had been lifted a little.

As long as you are sick, there is hope of recovery. It is much easier to find a doctor with superb medical skills than to find a truly capable monk.

Moreover, it is basically certain whether the doctor's medical skills are good or not. Many of the Taoist priests and monks are actually scammers in disguise. He has been deceived many times in the years of seeking exorcism.

After hearing this, Song Ying actually felt that Zhou Dafu seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit. When she was supporting him just now, she roughly took his pulse and found nothing wrong for the time being.

"Ahem," she cleared her throat twice, "Go in first, I'll give you a thorough diagnosis first."

At this point, she looked towards the threshold. Zhou Dafu had failed to successfully cross the door twice, and it was uncertain whether he would succeed again. She simply said to the Zhou family's servants, "Carry him in."

Upon hearing this, several young men simultaneously shrank their necks and took a step back.

This made Zhou Dafu feel extremely embarrassed. He glared and cursed, "Come here quickly! Didn't you hear Taoist Yuanrong say that I'm not possessed by evil spirits, but I'm sick?"

Several young men had smiles on their faces and said yes, but they didn't move an inch.

Zhou Dafu was even more embarrassed and explained to Song Ying, "Though these bastards are timid and afraid of ghosts, they are good at fighting. When you go out, safety is the most important thing."

Song Ying smiled, realizing that these young men were Zhou Dafu's bodyguards.

She said, "Brothers, I believe you have been following Master Zhou for quite some time. Even if there is an evil spirit in his body, it hasn't done anything to you. It's okay to lift him up. Besides, it's noon now, when the Yang energy is at its peak. The evil spirit won't dare to come out."

"Noon isn't the time when Yang energy is at its peak," a young man said in a trembling voice. "When I was a kid, I went to my cousin's house in the countryside. At noon, I went with him to the mountain to move the cattle. As we passed a bamboo forest, we saw a female ghost in red passing by."

Song Ying: “…”
