Record of Yin and Yang

Accidents happened again and again among the villagers, and there were still a few young men who got close to each other in normal times, which made the people of Nanhe Village aware of something unusual.And Zhang Caijun and another playmate named Wu Zhiye were also very panicked and scared. Some villagers who saw this said that they did some bad things together and were retaliated by ghosts, and some said it was because They offended the mountain god on this side, and that's how they ended up.

For the past few days, Zhang Caijun and Wu Zhiye were so frightened that they didn't dare to go anywhere, they only dared to stay at home. Zhang Caijun was too scared to close his eyes, and his emotions almost collapsed.The Zhang family only had such a son, so they definitely didn't want him to have an accident, so they wanted to join forces with the Wu family to raise money to invite a famous witch from nearby to do a ritual ceremony, but the witch asked for a high price, and the two pooled their money together. It was not enough, so I asked the villagers to borrow money. They were afraid of trouble, and no one dared to borrow money. The Zhang family had to come to Zhang Ji's natal family in the heavy rain to ask her natal elder brother to borrow money.

Although the village chief also thought it was a mystery, but Zhang Caijun was his own nephew, no matter how scared he was, he would not turn to death. He asked Zhang Ji how much he was short of, and found out that he was still short of 15 taels of silver.

"Why is there so much difference? How much does the witch want?"

Zhang Ji said: "She said that this matter is too dangerous, and it is too risky for her to come out and open her eyes, so she asked for 30 taels, and she will only take action when she sees the silver."

Gu Jiu listened, and felt that maybe the sorceress had heard about what happened in his house, and seeing her begging, she took advantage of the trend and opened her mouth. 30 taels. In a village with an ordinary family background, a family of laborers can only earn money for four or five years. If it is saved, it will take longer. Gu Jiu looked at the family background of the village chief's family. Not bad, but if you take out 15 taels of silver at once, your family will be emptied.

No, Gu Jiu had already heard the village chief's wife objecting, saying that it was fine to borrow, at most five taels, and nothing more.

When Zhang Jishi heard this, she burst into tears in despair. She has a younger sister, but it is not so easy for a married woman to help her mother's family. Everyone has a family to fill their stomachs.

Gu Jiu heard the sighs of people in the room, so he knocked on the door frame and walked in, "The two of us will go back with you."

Zhang Jishi looked at them blankly, "You?"

"My two sons, this kind of thing is very dangerous. Although you are doctors, you are still ordinary people..." the village head kindly reminded.

Gu Jiu smiled and said, "I didn't tell the old man before, but we actually have another identity, that is, wandering Taoist priests."

"Taoist?!" Zhang Jishi stood up and looked at them excitedly.

Zhang Ji's husband said full of hope: "It's the two of you, can you help us solve this matter?"

Gu Jiudao: "It's not sure yet, we have to check the situation first."

"Yes, yes!" The Zhang family nodded with joy in their eyes.

Gu Jiu and Shao Yi immediately packed up their things. They slept right away at noon and hadn't had lunch yet. The village chief prepared pancakes for them early in the morning, and brought them to them right now to fill their stomachs on the road.Then he took out his own ox cart, pulled the sister's family, and led Gu Jiu and the others in front.

From here to Nanhe Village, it took them more than two hours because the road was too bad, and it was already dark when they arrived.The lights were on in Zhang's house, Gu Jiu and the others stopped the donkey cart, and went to see Zhang Caijun first.

Zhang Jishi said that since Xue Ming's accident, Zhang Caijun has been eating, drinking, and sedating in the house, so even though it is winter, the smell in the house is not very good, and the floor and bed are covered with insect repellent sulfur and lime. It doesn't look like a place where people can live at all.And Zhang Caijun, a young man in his seventeens and eighteens, should be full of vigor and vitality, but now he is unkempt, wrapped in a quilt and curled up in the corner of the wall, with pale lips, two big dark circles under his eyes, and red bloodshot eyes.

Seeing them coming in, Zhang Caijun was already leaning against the corner of the wall, but he still tried his best to lean back, as if he wanted to embed himself into the wall.

Seeing such a son, Zhang Ji felt sad for a moment, and started to cry uncontrollably, and wanted to get close to Zhang Caijun, but Zhang Caijun didn't seem to recognize her anymore, he waved his hands to keep him away, and shouted in fear: "Don't come here, Don't come here! I didn't do it on purpose, I didn't do it on purpose..."

With tears in his eyes, Zhang Ji said cautiously, "Caijun, I'm your mother."

Zhang Caijun came back to his senses, and after recognizing the person in front of him as Zhang Jishi, he searched around behind Zhang Jishi, "Where is the witch, didn't you say invite the witch?" Going to Zhang Jishi's side, "Mother! Didn't you say that you are looking for a witch? Where is the witch? I want a witch!"

Zhang Jishi hurriedly comforted him: "Don't panic, talented person, we have invited Taoist priests, they can do it too."

Zhang Caijun put his eyes on Gu Jiu and Shao Yi that Zhang Jishi was pointing at. Seeing their young faces, he became even more desperate for a moment, "They? Can they do it? Are you reluctant to give up money? Are you reluctant to give up money! "

Zhang Caijun had an emotional breakdown, patted the bed and was yelled at hysterically.

Shao Yi took a step forward and struck Zhang Caijun with his palm. Zhang Caijun rolled his eyes and passed out.

The Zhang family members exclaimed, and Gu Jiu hurriedly said, "I just want him to sleep well. People who don't sleep for days and nights are prone to sudden death."

"Thank you, thank you." Zhang Jishi wiped away tears, and her husband Zhang Chengyi put Zhang Caijun away and covered him with a quilt.

Only after that did Gu Jiu have time to observe the Zhang family. In the Zhang family's house, they did not feel any trace of lingering yin.

Zhang Jishi went to prepare dinner, Gu Jiu asked Zhang Chengyi who came out, "Did your son tell you what happened to them?"

Zhang Chengyi shook his head sadly, "He refuses to say."

"Don't tell me?"

Then Gu Jiu could almost speculate that they didn't offend any mountain gods, and the secret behind it was that they did something bad to cause such revenge.

Gu Jiu asked: "Where is Xue Ming's house? We want to go to his house first."

"It's at the other end of the village. I'll take you there."

On the way, Zhang Chengyi briefly told them about the situation of Xue's family.

Because something happened to Xue Ming, the Xue family is also full of worries recently.

Xue Ming is the third eldest in the family, and because he is the youngest son, his parents love him the most. He has two elder brothers in front of him, both of whom are married.This time, in order to save Xue Ming, the old Xue family disregarded the objections of their son and daughter-in-law, and almost emptied their family, but in exchange for this, they only got a useless son who could only be paralyzed in bed in the next life and needed someone to take care of him at any time.

As the saying goes, there is no filial son in front of the bed for a long time. Taking care of a patient who cannot take care of himself for a long time will make it difficult for even the closest people not to feel resentful.Xue Da and Xue Er already have their own small family. Although Xue father and Xue mother love Xue Ming very much, but the family has no money, and Xue Ming has become a burden again. They can no longer rely on Xue Ming in the future. The second son lived a life, so even if he was his own son, in the end, in their eyes, he might still be a hot potato who wished he could leave quickly.

It's not that Gu Jiu is willing to think so badly about Xue's family, but he knows that the situation he envisioned is the easiest to happen.

Most people's hearts are like this.

When we arrived at Xue's house, we heard that Xue's family was arguing violently. Zhang Chengyi felt that it was not easy to go in now, so he proposed to stand outside for a while. Gu Jiu just wanted to hear what they were arguing about, so he agreed.

Zhang Chengyi whispered, "It's Mrs. Xue and her eldest daughter-in-law who are arguing."

Two female voices, one for you and one for me.This eldest daughter-in-law Xue is a pungent person, she is not afraid that outsiders will hear that she is unfilial, she dislikes Xue Ming and keeps shouting, which makes people upset.Mrs. Xue still loves her son very much at the moment, and these two sons and daughter-in-law are very dissatisfied with her because she used up the family's money. The challenge, the mood was restless, and finally couldn't help arguing.

Gu Jiu put his hands in his hands, the situation of the Xue family was more serious than he thought, Xue Ming had only been paralyzed for a few days, and his brother and sister-in-law were like this, and the days to come would definitely be even more difficult.

It was too cold outside, and after hearing a few more words, Shao Yi knocked on the gate of Xue's courtyard, and the noise inside stopped immediately.

"It's late at night, who is it!" Aunt Xue's voice came out impatiently.

Zhang Chengyi said, "Sister Xue, it's me."

With a sound of "squeak", the dilapidated wooden door opened, and a woman with drooping eye bags appeared in front of everyone. She looked at Zhang Chengyi, with a trace of resentment and obvious gloating in her eyes, "Zhang Chengyi, what are you doing here so late?" ? Something happened to your talent at last?"

Zhang Chengyi's face darkened, "My family is talented."

Aunt Xue's mentality is not difficult to understand. They are all children who have done bad things together. Why is her family Xue Ming so unlucky? Zhang Caijun and the rest of Wu Zhiye should be as miserable as Xue Ming.

Zhang Chengyi is quite smart, he pointed to Gu Jiu and Shao Yi and said: "Xue Ming and Cai Jun offended the mountain god, we are afraid of harming other people in the village, so we specially invited two Taoist priests to solve this matter, they came here specially to find Xue understand the situation."

"Just them?" Aunt Xue, like Zhang Caijun, didn't trust the young Taoists.

The little brother who followed Gu Jiu's feet all the way suddenly jumped onto Gu Jiu's shoulder, squatted steadily, stared at Aunt Xue with his cat eyes open, and meowed at her faintly.

People who don't know how to do it think that black cats are evil, and Mrs. Xue is no exception. She was stared all over by her younger brother, and when she tried to utter a sarcastic word, it stuck in her throat. She moved the corner of her mouth and let go of the door frame hand, turned around and said, "Come in."

During the conversation, the rest of the Xue family were standing at the door of the room, and Mrs. Xue scolded the two daughters-in-law: "What are you looking at, go back to your room."

"Who cares about it." The eldest daughter-in-law who had just quarreled with her said with a curled lip.

"I think you really have the wrong idea!" Mrs. Xue left Gu Jiu and the others and rushed to the door, kicking the door and cursing, and then came back, impatiently leading them into Xue Ming's room.

Xue Ming's room was filled with a smell of blood, and under this smell, Gu Jiu also smelled the smell of urine.

In the medically advanced world before Gu Jiu, caring for a paralyzed person was a very laborious task, but in this world, things will only be more troublesome.Xue Ming couldn't move, because the injury hadn't healed yet, and he couldn't move him at will, and he couldn't do catheterization, so he could only let him urinate on the bed.

Gu Jiu looked at Mrs. Xue and saw her frowning. She didn't know if it was because of the paralyzed Xue Ming, or because of these mixed and unpleasant smells.
