Chapter 945 Zombies?
"Doctor, you, are you okay?" The middle-aged woman looked at Li Dong worriedly, and kept dangling in front of Li Dong's eyes, probably thinking that the young doctor was scared after hearing the zombie. His soul flew away.

"I'm fine." Li Dong shook his head. In order to reassure the other party, he even smiled to prove that he was really fine.

In fact, he was not frightened, but he was very curious.

Isn't zombies a kind of ghost in folklore, something that only exists in movies and TV?Is this eldest sister not in good spirits, or is it too hot and heatstroke?
"Sister, are you sure it's a zombie, not some other beast?" Li Dong looked at the other party and asked, "Have you seen it with your own eyes?"

"Of course I've seen it. Not only I have seen it, but many people in our village have seen it. Why do you think people in our village are hiding at home? It's all caused by zombies." The eldest sister said nervously , Whenever a zombie is mentioned, there will be a look of panic on his face.

Many people have seen it?
Li Dong looked at the elder sister. The other party seemed to be showing his true feelings. He was not intentionally playing a prank against him. This state of fear cannot be faked. If the other party can really perform so well, then this elder sister should act in a movie. Definitely a queen-level performance.

But, is this another misunderstanding?

Just like some villages used to regard monkeys as monsters?
"Eldest sister, I'd better show elder brother the injury first." Li Dong said, as a doctor who has seen the injury to tens of thousands of people, he can now determine the cause of the injury through the condition of the wound.

"Okay, I'll show you."

The woman came to the bed and lifted a corner of the quilt, revealing one of the man's legs. On the calf of the left leg, there were three wounds that were as long as a finger. There was no bandage either, the surface had already begun to inflame and pus, and there was even some rot, and a rotten smell made people want to vomit.

"Doctor, can it be cured?" The woman asked anxiously.

Li Dong observed carefully for a while, then turned his head to look at the middle-aged woman and asked, "Sister, are you sure that this was really scratched by a zombie? Why do I feel like I was scratched by an iron object? Like an iron hook or something?"

He had seen this kind of injury before, so it was easy to tell.

"Doctor, you don't know that the claws of zombies are like iron hooks." The woman said happily, "That is to say, my man ran so fast that he saved his life from the hands of zombies. If it were someone else, he would have been killed long ago." Zombies ate it."

Li Dong looked at the serious middle-aged woman, but still didn't believe what she said. Even if there were zombies, then the zombies should be transformed by humans. No matter how sharp human fingernails are, they are still very different from iron hooks. , The scratches left behind are different in depth and size.

"Sister, what do zombies look like?" Li Dong asked curiously. In movies, there are many kinds of zombies. Some are wrapped in white cloth strips, some have pale skin, and some have rotten bodies. And different movies, yes Zombie descriptions also vary considerably.

"The ones who appeared in our village were century-old zombies, wearing the official uniforms of the Qing Dynasty, with pale faces, and walking swayingly. I heard that we had a high-ranking official before, and they were buried in the mountains on the other side of the river. These zombies It was the person who was buried next to that high official, because he was full of resentment, so he came out to hurt people a hundred years later." When the middle-aged woman was speaking, her whole body shivered, and the pair of twins in the room , tremblingly hid behind her mother, even when looking at Li Dong, her eyes were full of timidity, as if Li Dong was also a zombie.

Zombies wearing Qing Dynasty official uniforms?Isn't that a zombie only in Hong Kong movies?And shouldn't this kind of zombie walk bouncingly? How did it become swaying?
It seems that Hong Kong films are for reference only, and the actual product shall prevail.

"Big sister, who did you listen to these words?" Li Dong asked, since the origin of the zombies was all told by others, how did this 'others' know?

"Our village has had legends about zombies a long time ago. I have often heard them from adults since I was a child, but I really saw zombies a month ago. When a villager was picking wild vegetables on a nearby mountain, he saw two zombies. In the next few days, many villagers saw it on the mountain, and some villagers were attacked by zombies, my man was one of them, if I knew it, I would not have let him go up the mountain." The woman shed tears as she spoke.

"Sister, don't be sad." Li Dong comforted, "It's just that it's not the case that everyone hides at home all day. Haven't you thought of any way?"

"Thought about it, just half a month ago, two Taoist priests came to the village, saying that we have resentment here, and that if we want to avoid being attacked by zombies, we must hang white gauze in front of every house and offer sacrifices every morning." , the offerings must be poultry and livestock, and it only takes one month to touch the river god here, and the river god will protect the village, and the zombies will not come."

Taoist priest?

Li Dong was startled, this Taoist priest couldn't happen to be named Lin, could he?

In the past six months, he has traveled many mountains and rivers. He has gone up mountains and down caves. He has encountered fierce beasts and poisonous insects, but he has never seen zombies. He has encountered many fake Taoist priests and wizards.

"Sister, didn't you ask those two Taoist priests to heal the injury?" Li Dong asked, since the two Taoist priests are so powerful, presumably this injury should not be a big deal to them.

Taoist priests, aren't they the ones who specialize in refining elixirs?
"I found it. The two Taoist priests simply gave some medicine to the wound, and then said that as long as the offering is made for a month, the river god will bless the village, and the wound will naturally heal." The middle-aged woman said.

it is good?
It's all so infected, it's about to rot, but can it heal naturally?Any further delay would have to amputate the entire calf.

"Covering the quilt is also what those Taoists said?" Li Dong asked, he felt that no normal person would be so careless, covering the quilt on a hot day, looking for heatstroke?Moreover, this eldest brother already has obvious characteristics of heatstroke.

"Well, the Taoist said that by doing this, you can prevent the outflow of corpse aura and infect your family and children."

"..."

Li Dong was speechless, he had never heard of trauma being contagious, and he was sweating from the heat, so it's no wonder the wound healed.

"How many days have you been worshiping in the village?" Li Dong asked, he always felt that the two Taoist priests that the eldest sister said were liars.

"It's been fifteen days, and the poultry and livestock in the stockade have almost been supplied, and the villagers can only go hunting in the nearby mountains to meet the needs of the river god." The eldest sister said with a deep sigh. Originally raised a few chickens and ducks, but now they are all offered up.

"You won't just throw the offerings into the river, will you?" Li Dong asked in surprise.

"It's not thrown directly into the river, but the poultry and livestock are killed, then put on a raft, and pushed into the river in front of the stockade."

The more Li Dong heard it, the more he felt that something was wrong. If it was to feed the god of the river, he could just throw it into the river. Why did he kill him and put him on the raft?In this way, if the raft goes down the river, won't the offerings flow downstream?Once the people from the downstream village picked it up, wouldn't the river god get nothing?Wouldn't the offering be in vain?
Li Dong thought about it, and he probably understood what was going on in his heart!
