Chapter 12 Exorcising ghosts with needles
There was nothing to say along the way, and when it was close to noon, the two rushed to Sanliangzi.After playing back and forth, Jiang Decai had a cramp in his calf (meaning uncomfortable).But as soon as I entered the yard, I heard the noise in the house again.

Hearing such a movement, Lao Jiang hurried into the house to take a look, and sure enough, the little boy Jiang Liu started to toss around again.Several people were sweating profusely and pressed hard, but Jiang Liu still arched hard, and his little face was even redder.

When the child made such a fuss, the doctor Wang Wenjing saw it, frowned first, and reached out to take the medicine box that Lao Jiang handed him.After carefully placing it on the cabinet and opening it, he took out a small silver box about an oak long and four fingers wide.

The box seems to be quite old, and some places have turned black. There is a statue of the Medicine King Bodhisattva on the front of the box. The carving is exquisite, and the kind-hearted Bodhisattva is lifelike.

After holding the silver box in his hand, Wang Wenjing looked very cautious, and ordered Lao Jiang to bring it with a candle before he opened the box.On a piece of red cloth inside, thirteen silver needles were neatly placed, and the tip of each silver needle was deeply stuck in the red cloth.

Wang Wenjing carefully took out the leftmost silver needle, held it in his hand, and then baked the tip of the needle back and forth with the flame of the candle.

With a loud shout, Wang Wenjing suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Jiang Liu's left wrist. Then, with a slight movement of his fingers, Jiang Liu's tightly clenched fist slowly loosened.

When the group of tired and sweaty people were wondering what kind of tricks this Wang Wenjing was playing, he had already aimed the needle at the side of his thumb, and twirled the silver needle in his hand back and forth between his thumb and index finger.

After the silver needle pierced into the flesh bit by bit, Jiang Liu, who was struggling just now, slowly subsided.At this time, Wang Wenjing winked at several people, implying that everyone can let go now.

A few people were still uneasy at first, and after slowly letting go of their hands tentatively, they found that Jiang Liu had really calmed down completely, so they let go of their hands and sat on the side to rest.While wiping the sweat off his face, he chatted casually, and after chatting for a few words, the result was that Jiang Liu, this little brat, really deserved to be a cattle herder, he was so energetic!

At this moment, suddenly a low, muffled sound sounded in the room, which sounded like a cow barking at first glance.The few people resting on the kang were shocked when they heard this, wondering why there were cows in the room, Wang Wenjing had already taken out another needle from the box.

After roasting the needle on the fire, Wang Wenjing thought about it for a long time before finally making up his mind.After calling Jiang Decai to straighten Jiang Liu's face, he carefully held the silver needle and stabbed it into the middle of the person.Different from the first needle, Wang Wenjing twirled the silver needle back and forth a few times, and then said in a calm voice: "Where did you come from? Go back, this is not where you should come, let's talk about it." , the child is so young, and he has no grievances or enmities with you, so you can't torment the child like this."

At this moment, everyone didn't dare to chat any more, they stared at the doctor intently and listened to his rambling speech.

At this moment, Jiang Liu opened his mouth to speak, but the voice was that of an old man.

"I can't help it. It was Daxian who dragged me here. When I said I wouldn't do it, she beat me. She is better than me, so I can't beat her."

Wang Wenjing frowned, and said in surprise, "Then why didn't you speak when I got the first injection just now?"

Jiang Liu's old man's voice sounded again: "I dare not speak. Just now, she was in the room, looking at me. Now that she is gone, I dare to speak."

"Okay, if you say that, I won't embarrass you anymore. I'll withdraw the needle and you can go." After speaking, Wang Wenjing slowly withdrew the needle.

After withdrawing the silver needles, Wang Wenjing put the silver needles into the box one by one.After another minute or so, Jiang Liu slowly opened his eyes.

Seeing that his son had woken up, Lao Jiang rushed to him, and finally took a closer look at his son's current appearance. The nearly 50-year-old man had a sore nose and red eyes.

It turned out that in just these two days, Jiang Liu's eye sockets were sunken.The child who was not fat before, lost even more weight after this ordeal.

Wang Wenjing saw the way Lao Jiang loved his son so much, and thought of his son, he quickly turned his face away, unable to bear to continue watching.

When the mood calmed down a little, Wang Wenjing tugged at Jiang Decai's arm, and the understanding Lao Jiang followed him to the yard, and Wang Wenjing turned around and spoke to Jiang Decai earnestly.

"Brother, I'm with you, and I don't hide it. To be honest, your old brother has never had a second injection after I have practiced medicine for so many years. I didn't expect to break the precept on you today, and I was arrested. Yes, I'm still an errand runner, and the owner is not on the child, and in this situation, I have nothing to do with it, old brother."

Wang Wenjing said so many long-winded words, Jiang Decai could hear what he meant, and knew that Dr. Wang had indeed tried his best, but just thinking about his son's current situation, there was an unknown fire in his heart, and finally this honest man The peasant man really felt panicked. Regardless of Wang Wenjing's presence, he hurried to the gate, pointed in the direction of the ravine in front of Sanliangzi, and pouted loudly.

"What the hell do you think you are! If you have the ability, you come to our adults? What kind of ability are you tormenting a child? Just fuck your virtue, and still practice? Fix your grandma's legs!"

After scolding for a long time, naturally there would be no reaction. The helpless Jiang Decai completely lost his temper, squatting on the ground weakly and sulking.Jiang Liu was lying on the kang in the house, and he felt quite uncomfortable hearing his father yelling like this.Thinking about it, I blame myself. If I hadn’t caused trouble, I wouldn’t have become like this, making the whole family restless, and my parents would suffer with me. Thinking about it, I blame myself for my incompetence. If I knew how to order something, would it be like this? ?
At this time, he regretted that he didn't promise Han Xiazi at the beginning. If he had followed Han Xiazi and learned his skills, would it still be like this now?
You Guofu came to Jiang Decai's house after Lao Jiang had finished scolding for a long time. He took a look at Jiang Decai who was still squatting at the gate, silent, and You Guofu sighed inwardly.He wanted to say a few decent words to comfort Jiang Decai, and even stood beside him for a long time, but he finally managed to say a decent word.

In fact, at this time, Jiang Decai under the current situation cannot be comforted by a few words.You Guofu also thought of this floor, so he went straight to the house and called those who helped press the river just now to the kitchen for dinner.

Seeing those people leaving Jiang Decai's house one after another, You Guofu walked up to Lao Jiang again, squatted down beside him, and after being silent with Jiang Decai for a long time, he said embarrassedly: "Decai, I have a discussion with you. As far as our production team is concerned, on June [-], we made a wish for rain, do you remember?"

"Well, I remember." Jiang Decai replied sullenly.

Seeing Jiang Decai talking, You Guofu hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and said, "Isn't it the autumn harvest? Our village's harvest this year is not bad, so the village wants to sing a seven-day votive opera. The problem of accommodation for the troupe has to be resolved in our village." , this arrangement comes and goes, only the Troupe Master Zhang of the theater troupe has no place to live, so I was thinking, I want this Troupe Master Zhang to come to live in your house, can you see if this will work?"

Lao Jiang was not in the mood at the moment, lowered his head and said casually: "Village chief, you can make arrangements for yourself, anyway, this child is like this now, as long as the head of the class is not too noisy, there is a place at home, a shop in Westinghouse Kang will leave his son to sleep by himself."

After Lao Jiang finished speaking, he looked up and saw Wang Wenjing who was still smoking in the yard, and then he remembered that there is still a doctor in his feelings, so he quickly stood up and shouted embarrassedly: "Well, Doctor Wang, let's go, let's go!" Hurry up to the kitchen for dinner."

After eating in the village kitchen, Wang Wenjing wanted to go back, and Jiang Decai's daughter-in-law took out the ten yuan she had prepared.But Wang Wenjing refused to accept it, and told Jiang Decai's daughter-in-law to find someone to take a good look at the child.

After tearing it apart for a long time, Wang Wenjing also confiscated the ten yuan. The helpless Jiang Decai's daughter-in-law had no choice but to pocket the money again. She sent Wang Wenjing out of the gate with gratitude, watched him go away, and then turned back to the house.

During this afternoon, Jiang Liu was sitting on the kang, sluggishly silent, staring out of the window blankly, his eyes wandering far, far away, and he didn't know what this kid was thinking about right now. What is it.

The son who had been restless all day suddenly became like this. Jiang Decai's daughter-in-law saw it in her eyes and felt pain in her heart. She made several excuses and wanted to say a few words to Jiang Liu, but all she got in exchange was the child's kindness. In the end, the rural woman had no choice but to think of Dougen instead. It's just that the child is going to his grandma's house in Tudougou now, not in Sanliangzi.

After dinner in the evening, it was getting dark, and the troupe leader Zhang came.As soon as he entered the gate, he yelled in a loud voice, "Is Brother Jiang at home?" He seemed to be a cheerful person.

Lao Jiang heard someone calling him in the room, and after agreeing, he hurried out of the room.

Before Lao Jiang walked out of the room to speak, the team leader Zhang laughed, and said: "Brother Lao Jiang, we eat a lot of food and run around. Today, I have troubled your house again. Sorry for the inconvenience. Take it easy."

It was the first time this farmer, who was digging in the soil, heard these scenes, and for a while, he didn't know how to continue the conversation, but Jiang Decai's daughter-in-law who followed came out, took a step forward, and came in front of his head , Said to this leader Zhang: "It's leader Zhang, look at what you said, we are just farmers, so it's inconvenient, you just treat this as your own home."

The word came true, what Jiang Decai and his daughter-in-law never imagined in their dreams was that a casual and polite sentence that he was capable of finally became true.
