Chapter 112 Human blood steamed buns 【Subscribe】

Outside Ya'an City, inside a thatched cottage.

Chen Le looked at Xi'er who was suffering from tuberculosis again on the bed, his brows were full of worry.

Last time Ning Lang left him a spirit crystal. Although he had the money to buy medicine, after Xi'er took the medicine soup for more than a month, not only did his tuberculosis not get better, but it even got worse. How can he drink it now? The medicine couldn't stop her cough.

Yesterday, Chen Le personally went to the city to invite the most famous doctor in Ya'an City. After the doctor came to the thatched cottage to give Xi'er the pulse, he just shook his head and said: "It's too late, I'm afraid no medicine can cure her now." Tuberculosis."

After sending the doctor away, Chen Le fell into deep self-blame. If he could afford the medicine in the first place, maybe he wouldn't be like this now.

"Ahem..."

At night, Xi'er woke everyone up with a series of rapid coughing sounds.

Dong'er stood up and lit the kerosene lamp.

Chen Le wiped the blood from the corner of Xi'er's mouth with a handkerchief.

Er Niu went to fetch water from the yard.

Xiao Wen and Xiao Ping, two young boys standing beside the bed, looked sadly at the pale Xi'er on the bed.

"Brother, I'm fine, you all go to bed, I'm fine." Xi'er forced a smile and said stubbornly.

Chen Le clenched his teeth, looked at the smile on Xi'er's face, and tried his best not to show a sad expression.

"Xiaowen, Xiaoping, go to sleep."

"Brother~"

"Go!"

"Oh."

Chen Le patted Xi'er's back lightly, and whispered, "Sleep, you won't cough when you sleep."

"Ah."

Xi'er closed her eyes, and Chen Le hummed a song to lull the child to sleep.

In silence.

Xi'er finally fell asleep.

Er Niu stood beside the bed, and whispered sadly, "Brother, when the doctor left yesterday, did the doctor say that my younger sister...wouldn't live to be ten years old?"

"To shut up!"

Er Niu bowed his head silently.

Dong'er sat down by the bed, lifted the quilt up, and said, "Brother, I heard that there is an earthen method that can cure tuberculosis."

Chen Le immediately asked: "What method?"

"Human blood steamed buns."

After hearing this, Chen Le immediately said: "This is all superstition, how can eating a steamed bun with blood on it cure tuberculosis that even doctors can't cure."

"But now, is it possible that we don't do anything?"

Chen Le turned his head to look at Xi'er, and sighed heavily.

Er Niu interjected: "When I entered the city today, I saw a notice at the gate saying that tomorrow a prisoner who committed a crime of adultery would be executed outside the city. Go to the execution ground, brother, or I will go tomorrow, even if the little sister's illness can't be cured, we can still feel at ease."

"Okay, you don't need to worry about this matter, you all go to sleep."

"Brother~"

"Go to sleep!"

……

Noon the next day.

Hundreds of people gathered around the execution ground outside Ya'an to watch the excitement.

Chen Le was among a special group of people, each of them had a bowl in their hands, and a big white steamed bun was placed in each bowl.

"Why don't you come, my youngest son is just waiting for the blood bun to save her life."

"Yeah, why haven't you come yet?"

"Is this method really useful?" Chen Le held a bowl and asked a woman next to her.

The woman hurriedly said: "Of course the method handed down by the older generation is useful. Do you know Zhaojia Village? In that village there was a child who had tuberculosis, which was cured by eating blood steamed buns."

"But…"

"People are coming, people are coming."

On the high platform next to the execution ground, Mr. Ting Wei, who was wearing an official hat, threw down the beheading token and shouted loudly: "It's noon, behead immediately!"

Two officers and soldiers escorted a man in prison clothes from the stage to the stage.

The man's face was full of tears, he kept kowtow and shouted: "My lord, I was wronged, I was wronged..."

"The witnesses and the physical evidence are convincing, you don't have to quibble anymore, execute the sentence!"

"It's wrong, it's wrong..."

The executioner with the big knife in his hand took a sip of the spirits and spit it on the big knife that beheaded him.

A smell of urine spread across the execution ground.

The executioner is not surprised.

Nine out of ten people who will be beheaded will be incontinent.

"I advise you not to move around. If you go down with a knife, you are not dead, but you will suffer!"

The prisoner shouted loudly: "Ah! Don't kill me! I'm really wronged! Don't kill me! Even if I'm a ghost, I won't let you go! I won't let you go! You will die, you will die!"

The executioner seemed to be used to this kind of crazy talk before dying.

What's more, in their line of work, ordinary ghosts would not dare to look for him, after all, the smell of blood on his body is heavy.

He raised the machete and dropped it suddenly when the prisoner was mad.

"Pfft."

Heads fall.

Crimson blood spurted continuously from the prisoner's neck.

at the same time.

Two officers and soldiers walked to Chen Le's side and began to collect the money.

"Officer, and me and me."

"Officer, please hurry up, the blood needs to be fresh."

The officer and soldier said impatiently: "Don't worry, as long as you have enough money, I know the rules better than you."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Chen Le looked at the head on the ground, and the head's eyes were looking in his direction. When he was feeling weak, the officers and soldiers snatched the bowl from his hand and shouted impatiently at him, "Where's the money?"

Chen Le was stunned for a moment, then quickly took out two pieces of silver coins from his pocket and handed them to him.

The officers and soldiers took the bowls to the execution ground, and there was a wooden basin specially used to hold blood on it. The two officers and soldiers didn't care about Sanqi21. Caught in a bowl.

"Hold it well. If you want to cure tuberculosis, don't let the blood dry up."

"this is yours."

"yours."

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir."

Chen Le took the bowl in a daze, the corpse on the stage had been removed, leaving only a pool of bright red blood on the ground.

……

"Is little sister awake?"

Before he ran into the house, Chen Le shouted outside.

"woke up."

Chen Le handed the bowl to Er Niu, then ran into the room and said to Xi'er, "Xi'er, close your eyes."

"Oh."

"Brother has brought you some medicine to cure your illness. Sister Dong'er will feed you later. Don't open your eyes, just take it."

"it is good."

Er Niu and Dong'er saw the human blood steamed buns in the bowl, and they guessed what Chen Le was doing out early in the morning.

"Xiaowen, Xiaoping, you two go out, Dong'er, come here and feed Xi'er."

"Ah."

Dong'er came forward with a bowl and sat down by the bed. Chen Le was afraid that Xi'er would feel sick when she saw it, so he sat behind her and covered her eyes. Er Niu also poured a little honey to help cover up the fishy smell. in a bowl.

Dong'er endured the nausea, picked up the steamed bun and put it near Xi'er's mouth: "Xi'er, eat it."

Xi'er opened her mouth and began to eat.

She has been used to taking traditional Chinese medicine since she was young, and her sense of taste is no longer that good.

She ate the blood buns bit by bit.

After eating, Chen Le immediately asked Dong'er to take the bowl away, and wiped Xi'er's mouth clean with a wet handkerchief.

"Go to sleep, you will be cured after you sleep."

"Oh."

……

Afternoon passed, Xi'er didn't cough at all.

One night passed, and Xi'er still didn't cough.

One day, two days.

The paleness on Xi'er's face gradually disappeared, and her mental state improved a lot.

Chen Le, Er Niu, and Dong'er were all overjoyed to see Xi'er's illness showing signs of improvement.

however.

three days later.

Xi'er, who was sitting on Chen Le's neck, suddenly trembled all over her body. She shivered and said, "It's cold, brother, I'm so cold..."

Chen Le was about to put Xi'er down.

"puff."

But at this moment, Xi'er vomited a large mouthful of black blood, which spilled on the ground, and there were even bursts of smoke.

Seeing this scene, Chen Le hurriedly shouted: "Er Niu, hurry up and ask the doctor to come over!"

"it is good."

Er Niu came and went in a hurry.

Half an hour later, an old doctor was forcibly brought over.

As soon as the old doctor walked into the yard, he saw the black blood on the ground, and immediately shook his head and said, "It's like this again! Did you also feed her human blood steamed buns?"

Chen Le nodded stiffly.

The old doctor sighed: "The people who ate the human blood steamed buns started to vomit blood like her. I can't control this matter anymore. You can deal with it yourself."

After speaking, the old doctor waved his hand and left.

Xi'er also passed out at this time.

Chen Le saw the black blood on the ground, and remembered what he saw on the execution ground that day. He seemed to realize something, and quickly hugged Xi'er to the bed, and said to Er Niu and Dong'er, "Brother, go and see Mount Taihua, take good care of Xi'er, I'll be back tomorrow at the latest!"

Chen Le didn't dare to delay for a moment, and ran out immediately after speaking, and then didn't stop all the way until he arrived at Taihua Mountain.
