Raising Ghosts Records

Chapter 58 Seven Medicines for Dumbness

Ye Feiji's grandmother gave us the address of her cousin in Shanjiang, which is also Ye Feiji's cousin, but what Ye Feiji couldn't accept was that we had to go there on foot.

I don't care. Walking more than ten kilometers is not a little stressful for me except that it is a little slower. For Xiao Jianzaki to speak, it is nothing.Maybe Ye Feiji's uncle can really be cured. At that time, a lively little loli will sing to us, say "Jiaohe Brother" on the left, and "Sister Feiji" on the right. What a happy thing that will be.

Ye Feiji has never met her cousin, and originally asked her grandmother to accompany her, but her grandmother is old, and if we walk more than ten kilometers, we will be tired, and her old man still feels tired after ten and a half months of rest.

Asking for help is not allowed to come empty-handed, and we did not dare to be sloppy. We bought a large piece of [-]-jin pork, two chickens, some fruits and other gifts in Fenghuang.Fortunately, after walking for a long time, a tractor passed by. Ye Feiji stretched out his hand, and the enthusiastic driver uncle stopped the tractor.

We got on the back of the tractor, and almost broke our waists along the way, but it was better than walking. It didn’t matter if we got blisters on our feet, and the worst thing we feared was getting lost.

The tractor drove for 10 minutes, and the driver stopped in a village. Ye Feiji asked him how far he was to Shanjiang, and the answer he got was that it took half an hour to walk across the village.

After getting off the tractor, we walked for more than half an hour, and finally arrived at Shanjiang Town, but only after asking did we know that it took at least 40 minutes to walk to the village of Ye Feiji's uncle Ye Feiji we went to.

Shanjiang Town is also a gathering place for Miao people, and you can see grandmothers wearing national costumes like Ye Feiji's grandmother everywhere, but it is rare for young people to wear them.

I had a snakeskin bag tied to my shoulder, and I held a chicken in each hand. Ye Feiji carried Xiao Jianzaki on his back. After another hour of hard walking, I came to a village.

To be precise, it can't be counted as a village, because there are only five families scattered vaguely on the mountainside.

I laughed at Ye Feiji, is your uncle a legendary out-of-world expert who hid here to cultivate immortality!Otherwise, why did you come to live in such a remote place? Seeing that your grandma has moved to Fenghuang County.

Ye Feiji sat down on a lawn by the side of the road to rest, constantly complaining about being tired. She said that her grandma told her that her cousin's family were all in town!He has stayed in the mountains all his life, and he is not used to being away from the mountains.

After resting for a while, we went up the mountain and walked for nearly 10 minutes to a house.The house is built with wood and bamboo. There are several rice fields and vegetable fields in front of the house, and a small stream left on the left side of the house.If this place is used to live in seclusion, raising hundreds of chickens and killing one a day is indeed a fairy-like life. For people like me, this kind of life is also very tempting.

I don't know if we came at the wrong time, the door was closed tightly, Ye Feiji knocked on the door, but there was no response from the room, maybe it was really not at home.After I tied the feet of the two chickens to a bamboo, I sat with Ye Feiji on the woodpile at the door and waited.

Soon Komizaki reached out to me, and I knew she was hungry, so I gave her an apple to eat.Xiao Mizaki just took a bite of an apple, when an old Miao hunter in a turban came down the mountain with a shotgun on his back, carrying a few birds whose names he didn't know.

The old hunter was estimated to be in his early 60s, with a roll of tobacco in his mouth. When he saw us sitting in front of his house, he hurriedly asked who we were looking for.Ye Feiji immediately called his uncle, and said the names of his grandmother and mother.

This is Ye Feiji's cousin, he was stunned for a moment, then he realized that he was talking to Ye Feiji with a smile, and I couldn't understand Miao dialect.

My cousin threw the birds into a wooden bucket at the door, then opened the door and invited us into the house.This house is the same as the thatched hut on the mountain that I met in Guigang. The walls are full of wild animal fur and hornets, as well as bundles of dried herbs and ganoderma.

I took the ten-pound pork, fruit and some other gifts out of the snakeskin bag and handed them to my uncle. He politely said why his family had to buy so many things, it was a waste of money.

Ye Feiji and his cousin kept talking non-stop. Her cousin couldn't speak Hakka, but he could listen, but I couldn't understand Miao, so I couldn't communicate, which was quite embarrassing.

Ye Feiji talked with her cousin for a long time, and finally remembered to cook, so he went back to the kitchen to boil water, and killed the few birds that came back.He also killed a chicken that I brought, and added the foxes, hares, and pangolins that he usually cured, and made a big table of dishes.

Nothing in the countryside is better than in the city, except the food is definitely better than in the city. All kinds of game are hard to buy with money. Such a meal now costs at least 5000 yuan.

During the meal, I asked Ye Feiji to tell her cousin the purpose of our visit this time, and when her cousin asked about it again, Ye Feiji said it in detail.The cousin nodded while listening, and served Xiaomizaki with vegetables at the same time, saying that he would show Xiaomizaki after eating.

At this time, Xiao Mizaki was holding a chicken leg with both hands and gnawed, his mouth was full of oil, and the apple with two bites was thrown on the table, and uncle Ye Feiji teased her and ignored it.

My uncle asked Ye Feiji, and Ye Feiji said that my uncle asked me if I heard Xiao Jianqi speak.

I said it to her when her grandfather died in my hometown last time.

Uncle Biao said that it may be fake dumb, that is, he can speak, but he doesn't know how to say it, but he has to try it to know whether it is true or not.

I asked what method to try, as long as it is not dangerous.

Uncle Ye Feiji smiled and said nothing, grabbed a rabbit leg and gnawed it fiercely, like an old beggar who had been hungry for half a month.

After the meal, my cousin asked Ye Feiji to take a bath for Xiao Jianqi with boiled water with herbs, and my uncle was at the door to grind the powder with a medicine grinder.After the powder was ground, a bowl of boiling water was poured into it. After pouring the powder into it, the whole bowl of water immediately turned blood red.

After the medicine in the bowl cooled down, my cousin asked me to cover Omisaki's eyes, and then brought it for her to drink.After Xiaomizaki drank his uncle's half bowl of blood-like soup, he fell asleep within 3 minutes.

After 5 minutes, Xiaomi Qi woke up again, got up and sat on the bed in a daze, and my uncle signaled us to talk to Xiao Jianqi, so Ye Feiji and I sat on the edge of the bed.

I asked Komizaki what's your name!

Komizaki looked up at me, and replied in a low voice that she was a little dumb girl.

Hearing Komizaki speak for the first time, his voice was immature and cute. I was so excited that I didn't know what to say. The feeling was the same as winning a big prize.

Ye Feiji was also very happy, she asked Xiao Jianzaki again, how old are you this year!

Xiao Mizaki turned to look at Ye Feiji, and replied that he was four years old this year.

Ye Feiji couldn't help clapping his hands, and kept praising his cousin for being amazing.

But my uncle shook his head and said that it was just drugging her mind, just like being drunk, and the child would not be able to speak after the effect of the drug wore off.

After Ye Feiji told me what my uncle said, we all sighed and wondered how he could be cured.

The uncle added that he did this just to see if the little girl was really dumb, and now it seems that she is not, so there is a way to cure it, but...
As soon as we heard that there was hope, we quickly asked how it could be cured and what conditions were required. We must do our best to achieve it.

The uncle put out his hand and tapped Omisaki's forehead, and she immediately fell into bed and fell asleep. The uncle asked us to go to the hall to explain in detail.

After we got out of the hall, we found stools and sat down. My uncle told Ye Feiji a lot, and Ye Feiji told me the exact words of my cousin. For some reason, Xiao Jianzaki never spoke. The ears are not deaf, which is like a person with good legs, but he would rather sit in a wheelchair than walk every day.

When Ye Feiji said this, it reminded me of Chen Guigui and his son who adopted Xiaomizaki. The weirdness of that old house might be some factor or curse suppressing Xiaomizaki's instinct to speak.

Ye Feiji told me that her cousin can cure it, but she needs seven kinds of medicinal materials, and use these seven medicinal materials to make a medicine that can cure Xiao Jianzaki's dumb disease.

I can't wait to ask what kind of medicine it is
Ye Feiji stretched out his hand, counted a finger and said a medicine, namely toad skin centipede feet chili loach cobra poisonous cicada slough crystal blood
I couldn't help frowning when I heard that, toad skin, centipede feet, chili loach, cobra, venomous cicada slough are all easy to get, except for cobra venom, which is a little difficult to get, everything else is close by, but what is this crystal blood, I haven't even heard of it.

Ye Feiji asked her cousin what the crystal blood was

Uncle Biao had just rolled a cigarette, took out an iron lighter and lit it, puffed a couple of puffs before speaking to Ye Feiji.

Ye Feiji translated it for me. This crystal blood is a kind of blood called crystal fish. This blood is different from the red blood of most animals. It is as transparent as snot water.

The crystal fish lives in an extremely deep underground river. It has a leg as thick and long as a human, and its whole body is as transparent as a crystal pillar.This fish is very rare because it lives in underground rivers all its life and rarely emerges from surface rivers.Ye Feiji's cousin saw one in the spring at the bottom of the mountain when he was catching frogs when he was a child, but he got back into the hole of the spring immediately.This kind of crystal fish lives underground for many years. Its blood is extremely cold, and it is an extremely valuable medicinal material. If you want to catch this kind of fish, it is hard to come by.

I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, the name is so tall, it turned out to be a kind of fish blood, I have Tongtong here, what fish can't be caught!

Of course, I will not foolishly talk about Tongtong to my cousin Ye Feiji, Ye Feiji doesn't know my little devil's ability to catch fish, I just promise my cousin that I will definitely give him the seven herbs within a day together.

Ye Feiji told me not to talk big things, because the cobra venom alone cannot be obtained in a day, and the snake has not come out of the hole yet, so I don't know where to go to catch the snake, and the snake is very poisonous and very dangerous.

Uncle Ye Feiji waved his hand and said that he knew of a cobra, which had grown to more than three meters long last year, and that it was inconvenient for one person to catch it.
