Chapter 176 The Rumored Gu Doctor!
Under the leadership of Hu Bayi, everyone walked slowly to the house where Chu Jian was housed.
Along the way, everyone walked slowly, looking around at the scene in the village.
There are not many people in the village, most of them are middle-aged and elderly people, there are few children, and many young people have disappeared.
Logically speaking, in a village that has never been out of the mountains, young and middle-aged people should stay in the village all year round, but now it is hard to see.
In addition, the villagers looked at Fang Ye and the others with very different eyes.
Generally speaking, if a group of outsiders came to the village that has been out of the mountain all year round, the people in the village would look at Fang Ye and the others with curious eyes.
But the villagers in this village are not. Not only do they not show any curiosity, as if they are used to it, but they look at it like a commodity, looking at it wantonly and weighing the value.
"Look, there seems to be a red-eyed grasshopper lying on the doorstep of every household." The fat man whispered.
I don't know if Fang Ye made me sick that day. Fatty is very sensitive to bugs now. Along the way, he suddenly found a red-eyed grasshopper lying in front of almost every house.
At first he thought it was just a coincidence, or a custom, but by chance, he saw that the red-eyed grasshoppers seemed to move and looked towards them.
After Fang Ye and the others heard Fatty's discovery, especially Fang Ye, their hearts trembled.
He had teased Fatty about the grasshopper on the door yesterday, but now he found that the grasshopper was probably playing a surveillance role, that is to say, their every move in front of the door yesterday was likely to be watched by others in the eyes.
"Don't panic, just act like you don't know, and act naturally. After we confirm that there are no red-eyed grasshoppers around, we will discuss important matters." Fang Ye whispered.
But soon he raised his head, as if he hadn't noticed anything, and looked around with a smile, like an outsider full of curiosity about the mountain village.
The same is true for Fatty and the others, with no traces showing on their faces.
Soon, they came to the place where Chu Jian was placed. It was a small room. Inside was an old man with gray hair, who was suffering at the door.
"Are you here?" the old man asked with a smile.
"Yes, let's see our friend, where is he now?"
Hu Bayi asked with a smile, yesterday Chu Jian was placed in the courtyard visible from the entrance, but now he is nowhere to be seen.
The small kayak that was originally used to store Chu Jian was randomly thrown by the wall and put together with other sundries.
"He's in the room on the south right now. I've given him some medicine and he's resting right now. You can go on your own." The old man said with a smile, pointing them in a direction.
Fang Ye and the others thanked the old man and walked in the direction he pointed.
Looking at the back of Fang Ye and the others leaving, the old man couldn't help sighing, and continued to turn around to torment the medicine in the jar. Suddenly, the jar moved suddenly, as if something inside was hitting the jar.
Following the direction pointed by the old man, the group quickly found the room where Chu Jian was.
After entering, he found Chu Jian lying on the bed, counting the tiles on the roof boredly.
"Xiao Chuzi, how do you feel, are you better?"
The fat man was very excited to see that Chu Jian was fine, and patted Chu Jian's hand and expressed concern.
"It feels good, nothing serious, but I always feel itchy in my body, like bugs crawling." Chu Jian said with a frown.
If it was on the skin of his body, he could still relieve the itching physically, but inside his body, he could only endure it, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.
"This means that the bones are growing. There are no bugs. The bones in your body are growing, so you feel itchy. This is a normal thing." The fat man explained bravely.
After Fang Ye looked around, he didn't find any bugs like red-eyed grasshoppers, so he whispered.
"I feel that it might be a bug. On the way here, I saw medicinal herbs in the courtyard. Many of them are insect corpses, and many of them are twisting their bodies."
Hearing Fang Ye's words, Chu Jian sat up from the bed with a bang, and then fell down with a bang, his face full of pain.
"Damn, is it true or not, I won't be eaten away by the bugs in my body, right?" Chu Jian said with some fear.
"Don't worry, it shouldn't be a big problem. Those bugs should be good for you."
Hu Bayi recalled the strange man he had met on the road, and comforted Chu Jiandao.
"That old man is most likely not an old Chinese doctor, but a legendary Gu doctor. They use insect Gu more often to cure diseases and save people, and the effect is equally astonishing."
"But now there are not many Gu doctors in the world, I didn't expect there to be one here, so don't worry."
"This young man is right. I didn't expect outsiders to know the existence of Gu doctors. It's really rare."
An old voice came from outside the room. The old man who was decocting medicine at the door opened the door and said to Hu Bayi with a smile.
When Fang Ye saw the old man coming in, he panicked for a moment. Did the old man overhear what they said just now?
After thinking about it for a while, Wei Wei breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately they didn't say anything too personal.
The old man smiled helplessly when he saw that everyone in the room was facing an enemy.
"Don't be so cautious, I'm just a Gu doctor who cures diseases and saves people. I don't want to participate in other things."
The old man's words seemed to mean something, Fang Xuan tried to ask some topics about the village, but the old man waved his hand and didn't answer.
"You outsiders, leave as soon as he recovers. I won't say anything else about it." The old man sighed deeply and said nothing more.
After checking Chu Jian's physical condition, he left the room.
It seemed that he came here to help Chu Jian check his body because of Chu Jian's scream.
"How should I say, is this old man's words credible?" the fat man asked in a low voice.
Fang Ye shook his head, expressing that he didn't know, now that they knew too little, it was hard to tell whether the old man's words were true.
It can only be judged that the old man is still very kind to them on the surface.
"I think the old man's words are still credible for the time being, but no matter what, let's take Chu Jian back first. It's not very reassuring to stay here." Hu Bayi said.
Fang Ye and the others also agreed with Hu Bayi's words, and after discussing, they still used a small kayak to carry Chu Jian back.
After the decision was made, they went to the old man to talk about it. They thought the old man would refuse, but unexpectedly the old man didn't say anything, handed them a few packs of medicine that had already been packed, and asked them some questions about Chu Jian.
It seemed that they had expected early in the morning that they would take Chu Jian away.
In this way, Fang Ye and the others successfully brought Chu Jian back, and the smoothness was somewhat abnormal, and they carried Chu Jian slowly to the residence.
The old man stood in front of the door and watched them leave.
"Hmph, why did he take that man away?"
A figure appeared in front of the old man and said in a cold voice.
"As I said, I only care about curing diseases and saving lives. Everything else, whether good or bad, has nothing to do with me." The old man said lightly.
The black figure was silent for a moment, then said coldly, "It's best, don't forget, you still have something with us."
After finishing speaking, the black shadow disappeared, leaving the old man looking in a direction lonely, wondering what he was thinking.
