Celestial masters don't count

Mao Jiu climbed into the boat and returned the scorpion to the mother-in-law.I took some money out of my pocket to pay back the candles and liquor just now, but the mother-in-law said no.The mother-in-law said that those things were meant to respect the river god, but now the water ghosts are making trouble, dirtying the name of the river god.Getting rid of it is more useful than offering sacrifices.

Mao Jiu was silent for a while, put her fist on her lips, coughed and said, "Grandmother, we scholars should not talk about ghosts and gods. If you don't speak, you will be confused."

The mother-in-law smiled, opened her toothless mouth and said, "Grandma has never read."

"...Grandma, we are the successors of socialism, and we must talk about science."

The mother-in-law just smiled and looked at him, with a calm attitude of "you brag, you brag, if you blow off Tianxin, the mother-in-law loses with one word".

Mao Jiu: "...mother-in-law is very imposing."

Mao Jiu sat down on the seat next to her mother-in-law and waved. Xiao Shan quickly ran over and took the army green water bottle out of the cloth bag, opened the lid and handed it to Mao Jiu.The latter drank the water in a slow manner, not paying attention to the many sneaky eyes around him, those eyes were dubious, full of inquiry and awe, and naturally there were also doubts.

At this point the child was brought up on deck, soaking wet and covered with a large towel.His face was pale, his lips were bloodless, and he looked frightened and weak.

The child's mother rushed up and hugged the child, crying and beating the child lightly: "Call you naughty! If you fall into the water, the water monkey will catch you, and you will almost see King Yama. You are so worried to death, mother." !"

"Mother……"

The captain advised the child to fuck his mother: "Don't blame the child. If you are scared, give him a drink of water, change the wet clothes, let him rest, and take it easy."

The child's mother nodded gratefully, and was about to hold the child up when she suddenly realized that something was wrong with the child.The boy in her arms was trembling all the time, his lips were trembling and turning purple.The eyelids are fighting, and the whites of the eyes can be seen rolling.The child's mother was startled: "Little brother, what's wrong with you? Don't scare grandma!"

"Mom, Mom, I'm cold, and my legs, legs... hurt."

The captain also heard it, and hurriedly lifted the big towel, and was startled when he saw a large black mark on the boy's calf.This intimidation attracted everyone, and they were shocked when they saw the mark on the boy's calf.The female student just pushed aside the crowd and knelt down and said, "I'm a medical student, let me take a look."

She knelt down to check the black mark on the boy's calf, and found that there seemed to be something flowing under the mark, and suspected that some parasite had run into it.

"I'm afraid I stayed under the water for too long just now, and got into the parasites. Those insects are sucking blood, and it will be fine to squeeze them out."

The captain frowned and asked, "Are you sure it's a parasite? I have been sailing in this water area for ten years, and I have never heard of any kind of parasite that burrows into the human body. Its appearance is as black as ink." Yes, the stuff inside is as big as an adult's little finger, and it's still poking around. And you heard what he said? It hurts, and it's cold!"

The female student is also difficult to grasp, but she is sure that it is a parasite.Far less than ten percent of the biological species on the earth have been discovered so far, and it may be a new type of parasite that has never been discovered.

The captain said: "Are you going to say that it is an undiscovered species, just like the thing under the water just now is an undiscovered fish?"

The female student nodded, she thought so.Even after seeing Mao Jiu and the others' weird moves below, she still believed so firmly. After all, because of the angle, she and most of the people on the boat did not see the hair that climbed onto the rubber boat.As for the screams, in fact, many people thought they were hallucinations, because they were so much like hallucinations.

"We have to send him to the doctor as soon as possible, choose the nearest port to stop, and send the child to the hospital—"

The boy's mother suddenly remembered the cold-faced young man who saved her child, picked up the child and pushed through the crowd, then ran to Mao Jiu and prayed: "Master, master, save my child. I beg you—"

Mao Jiu got up to avoid the kowtowing, squatted down and asked, "What's going on?"

"My child, there is something strange in my child's calf, please help me, Master."

Mao Jiu pushed aside the towel, grabbed one of the boy's legs to check, and frowned when she saw the black mark on the calf.

Ghouls.

A kind of worm the size of an adult's thumb crawling out of the corpse of a dead person. Because the grievances on the corpse linger for a long time, the grievances become grudges. When ghosts attack people, they get into the human body and suck the flesh and blood.

The way to get rid of them is not difficult, they are all evil spirits and ghosts, and they can be easily removed with Maoshan exorcism.

Mao Jiu raised his head and asked the captain, "Can you give me some white cloth, knife, red candle and white wine?"

The captain nodded: "Okay." He turned around and asked the crew to fetch these things.

Mao Jiu comforted the child's mother: "It's fine, and the child's life and health will not be harmed. Don't worry."

The child's mother shed tears of gratitude.

Mao Jiu looked up and saw people surrounded him, and found that they were all holding a strange brick-like thing facing him.

Mao Jiu looked up and saw people surrounded him, and found that they were all holding something like a big brick in their hands, facing him.It is a touch-screen smart phone, of course Mao Jiu knows it, he has seen it many times on TV, and he has also seen many young people who go home for the holidays often play with it in their hands.It's just that he doesn't know what these things called smart phones are for, what's the significance of their invention, and they can't be used to smash walnuts.

Mao Lao once brought him a touch-screen smartphone, the Apple model he took a bite of.Before Mao Jiu could figure out its function, he smashed a walnut when he smashed it.I hate it so much, nothing can compare to Nokia.

He told the captain to drive these people three meters away: "There are too many people and the popularity is strong, which will make them more excited."

The captain did as he did, and the crowd stepped back two or three meters in dissatisfaction.Suddenly a thin girl jumped up to Mao Jiu and sternly accused: "The child is infected by parasites. If you are not a doctor, you will kill people if you lie to others!" Turning around, she gently persuaded the child's mother: "This Ma'am, I can understand your anxiety now, but you can't go to the doctor in a hurry. Look at the social news, how many people were killed by these so-called celestial masters. They are a group of liars who care about human lives! I am a nurse, I know how to save your son."

It turned out that this girl was a former female student. Although she spoke earnestly, she could not convince the child's mother at all.Because it was Mao Jiu who saved the boy before, so now she regards Mao Jiu as a straw and only trusts him.

Seeing that the mother could not convince the child, He Qing turned to stop Mao Jiu who had taken the things he ordered the captain to fetch, "You are not allowed to act recklessly! Do you know that you are killing people in this situation? Do you know that you are doing this?" Is it against the law? You actually believe him? He is a liar! This is superstition!"

Mao Jiu's body flickered, but he didn't know how to do it, and no one could see his movements clearly.In the blink of an eye, he passed Mao Jiu and squatted in front of the child. The little boy blinked weakly: "Brother..."

Mao Jiu smiled on his serious and tense face, and his aura like a deep pool suddenly became warm, extremely soothing: "Don't be afraid. You will be fine."

He Qing saw that these people are really crazy, they should go to the hospital if they are sick!But everyone believed the young man, and she admitted that he was a good-looking man, but he was a liar.Now is an era that emphasizes science, who still believes in ghosts and gods?A group of superstitious and backward fools.

But they are stupid, but He Qing can't give up on them, and can't just watch a person die.Just as she stepped forward to stop Mao Jiu, the captain stopped her.

Mao Jiu did the same thing, poking out a small piece of cinnabar, pouring it into white wine and mixing it into an ink-like liquid, and drawing symbols on the white cloth with his index finger and middle finger.After painting, light the candle, pour white wine on the knife and put it on the fire to sterilize it.After doing all this, he lightly cut a gash on the boy's calf, but no blood flowed out, and the gash would not have been seen unless he looked carefully.

Mao Jiu held the boy's calf with his right hand and his ankle with his left hand, squeezing out the ghoul insects inside like squeezing poisonous blood.He was very strong, the child struggled in pain, he said calmly without raising his head: "Press him."

The child's mother hurriedly held down the struggling child's hands and feet, and then saw black thumb-sized worms being squeezed out.It was so disgusting that she turned her head and didn't dare to look at it.

Mao Jiu squeezed out these things and wrapped them into the white cloth with the talisman drawn on them, then rolled them into a ball-shaped bun and threw it to Xiao Shan.Xiao Shan put this thing together with the bottle that the water ghost had received before.

Pulling a piece of white cloth to bandage the child's leg, Mao Jiu raised her head and said, "Okay, I'll take the child to the hospital near the shore later and let the doctor see it. Don't let the root cause of the disease fall."

The child's mother was grateful and kept saying thank you.

He Qing broke away from the captain and ran over to check, seeing that the boy's calf was indeed healed, he was both surprised and suspicious.He got up and ran to Mao Jiu, who was sitting down to rest, and asked, "You, are you a doctor?"

Mao Jiu raised her eyes to look at her, cold and serious, looking like an important person who is not easy to get close to.

He Qing was startled, a little afraid.Looking at this man, she seemed to be facing the dean, bit her lip, and summoned up her courage again, and asked provocatively, "Are you really a celestial master? What kind of ghosts are those really? Are you a Taoist priest who catches ghosts?"

Mao Jiu frowned, looked at her seriously, and said with condemnation: "You are a college student, why do you still believe in ghosts and gods? You have to believe in science."

The corner of Xiao Shan's lips twitched when he heard it.

here we go again.Brother Jiu, who is obviously a master of heaven, likes to teach people to believe in science, and all unsolvable puzzles must be solved with scientific thinking.

He Qing choked for a moment, speechless for a while.

"Just, just now Dajiangli—"

Mao Jiu interrupted her: "That's a big fish. Afraid of loud noises and firelight, I scared him away."

"Legs, children's legs—"

"Parasites. There is a kind of worm in the river that likes to burrow into animals to suck blood. It will come out when it is close to a heat source. I just made a cut with a knife and used fire to attract it."

He Qing opened her mouth, not understanding why she was the one who clearly broke the superstition, and why was this magic stick instilling the idea that science should not be superstitious in the end?

Mao Dean Jiuyi is serious: "Little girl, don't be superstitious all day long, read more. Believe in science."
