I am an immortal in heaven and earth

Chapter 8 Starvation Syndrome
The two of them were angry and sad, but also harboring a vague hope and expectation. They walked out of the memorial tablet in the mourning hall, passed the courtyard, and walked around the screen wall before reaching the gate.

This sight frightened Mrs. Xu so much that she fainted and fell backwards. Thanks to the support of the woman next to her, she didn't fall to the ground.

Mr. Xu was even more excited. He pointed at Xu Jia and cursed: "Who are you! What kind of evil spirit are you? Why don't you want my son to die?"

Although everyone hopes that their dead relatives will be resurrected, it is still a bit scary if they are really resurrected.

What's more, Xu Jia himself died in front of them. What is happening now? How to prevent them from being afraid or angry?
Xu Jia didn't know how to respond. After all, he had no memory of this physical body. It would be very unreasonable to deceive their feelings again, but he really needed a place to stay to recover his body.

The old woman transformed into a spotted fox stepped forward and explained: "Master! This is not a monster, but a living person!"

Then he told the story to the people around him like a storyteller.

“Fellow folks, you say it’s strange or not, coincidence or not, this is exactly what happens if there is no coincidence, and if there is no surprise, it cannot be written!”

"Today, at dawn, I picked up a hoe and a basket and went to work in the fields."

"Passing by the mass graves, I saw the dark grass and shadows on the graves, and I couldn't help but feel scared. I wanted to pass by quickly..."

"Suddenly, I heard a series of calls for help. It was so muffled that I was scared! I wanted to walk away, but for some reason, I had the courage to ask: "Who is talking!" "

But it has already been sold out.

Some of the people nearby were no longer afraid, and asked: "You old woman, why are you half-talking? It's so irritating!"

"Hehe!" Huaban said with a smile, "Guess what?"

"It turns out that Mr. Xu is calling the heavens and the earth."

"I heard it was a human being, and it was daytime. No ghost dared to come out, so I walked in. Sure enough, I saw a coffin and someone was shouting inside."

"Amitabha, saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, so I used a hoe to pry open the coffin. It turned out that the young man was still alive and was stuffed into the coffin."

"After asking for his name again, I found out that he is Mr. Xu's noble son. How pitiful!"

The eyes of all the villagers came over, almost wanting to kill Xu Jia.

"But he obviously..." Mr. Xu wanted to die, but now he was alive, and Xu Jia died strangely, so it was considered a "sudden death". This made the words stick in his throat.

Mrs. Xu woke up again at this time, but she stepped down. First she stared at Xu Jia's face, then suddenly walked behind Xu Jia, pushed up the hair on her neck, and saw the mole on it.

Then he covered his mouth and burst into tears. Unbelievable, he hugged Xu Jia and looked back at Mr. Xu: "Master, he is really our child. The mole on his neck is exactly the same. He is mine. I recognize the piece of meat that fell!"

"Are you...really my son Xu Jia?" Mr. Xu's surprise and joy were beyond words, and most of his fear and anger had been relieved.

Although the piebald old woman transformed into a human form and spoke for a while, she had never had such true emotions in her life, but she couldn't hold it in any longer. She was afraid of revealing her secrets, so she said according to what Xu Jialu taught him: " I'm afraid that the young master was frightened and may not remember things, so it would be best for me and my wife to quickly ask a doctor to take a look, and we can talk about the rest later."

Mrs. Xu nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, you see, I have even forgotten this!"

He was about to invite the old woman into the house together.

But seeing Huaban, he had already left without looking back.

There are too many people surrounding him. If he doesn't leave, he won't be able to hold back his true form. The Yang energy in the crowd is too strong. Soon, the magic of skeleton transformation will be broken and the fox's tail will appear.

Mrs. Xu wanted to ask someone to chase her, but she couldn't catch up with the old lady.

He had no choice but to greet the people, followed Xu Jia's sloppy footsteps, and pulled him into the house. He also asked his servants to set off firecrackers to drive away evil spirits.

Mr. Xu is very thoughtful and wants to see if the Bagua mirror hanging in front of the house can reflect anything. This Bagua mirror was hung up by a Feng Shui master when the house was built. It is said that it can control the house and drive away evil spirits, and prevent evil spirits from entering the house.

The Bagua mirror shined on Xu Jia, but there was nothing unusual about it.

Master Xu breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as they got inside, they asked people to lift Xu Jia to the bed, wash his face, and change out of the clothes of the dead.

After hesitating for a while, he personally dismantled the mourning hall and handed the memorial tablet to the kitchen: "Take it and burn it!"

Waiting for Dr. Li from the town to come to the door, it was strange to hear that people were resurrected from the dead.

When he arrived at Xu Mansion and saw Xu Jia, he was even more shocked.

He had been invited to see a doctor before. Xu Jia's body was clearly deprived of water and his phlegm was in his heart. He died in seven days. He diagnosed it as a "ghost disease" that cannot be cured by ordinary people.

Doctor Li was also afraid of offending others, so he only vaguely mentioned that he could invite Taoist monks to come and exorcise evil spirits.

Looking at it now, although the face is as golden as paper, as if it is about to die, the face is still alive. This... can the dead really be resurrected?
Under the expectant gazes of the Xu family, Doctor Li touched his pulse tremblingly.

Xu Jia's pulse was very weak and could not be audible. It was similar to Doctor Li's previous diagnosis, which was a thin pulse and deficiency of qi and blood.

Looking at his condition, he was groggy. It was obvious that he was so hungry that the vitality of his five internal organs was damaged.

"Could it be that he just faked his death and held his breath before, and wasn't he suffering from ghost syndrome?" Doctor Li had already begun to doubt his own medical skills.

He didn't feel anything about Xu Jia's hypothermia. After all, people who have been hungry for several days do have low body temperatures.

He felt that there was something sinister about this matter, and it was hard to tell the truth. He only said: "Young master's pulse is very weak. As the saying goes, life hangs on a thread. What I just touched was a thread of pulse, but the phlegm breath from before has gone and is no longer there." Ignorant."

"You only need to take good care of yourself and slowly resume your diet, and you will gradually get better."

"What about my son?" Mr. Xu pulled the doctor out of the door.

"Is my son still alive?"

"This... Judging from the pulse, he should still be alive. Although resurrection from the dead is very rare, there are records in medical scriptures of people holding their breath and feigning death, but... I have never encountered this before."

"The Taoist said before..." Mr. Xu murmured.

Then he grabbed Doctor Li's hand and said, "Doctor, please take good care of my son. My old Xu family is just a single seedling... Please!"

Doctor Li sighed: "It doesn't matter whether I can prescribe a prescription or not. He is just hungry now. He can be cured without medicine. The medicine is poisonous. He has fragile internal organs, so he can't bear it."

"Hurry up and boil some hot water. Use the warm water to dizzy your spleen and stomach. Then you can feed her some rice soup. It would be better if someone breastfeeds her."

"After eating like this for three days, if he complains of hunger, you can make porridge with millet, add some yams and red dates, and eat for another three days."

"I'll check your pulse again to see how your recovery is, and then gradually resume a light diet. You can eat some broth or something like that."

"Don't be oily during this period. A little bit of it will cause vomiting, so remember that."

Mr. Xu carefully wrote down the doctor's instructions and said worriedly: "I see that his expression is dull and groggy. He doesn't call me dad when he sees me, and he doesn't call his mother when he sees him. Is there something wrong here?"

"Perhaps he was hungry, and since he was sealed in a coffin... it is normal for him to be a little confused and groggy." Doctor Li explained: "I have been hungry for so many days. Most people would have died of hunger long ago."
