Under One: The Dragon's Wife

Chapter 474 Always feel cheated
I didn't ask any more questions, and I always felt uneasy.

Xiao Liang knocked on the door, and a man in his 50s opened the door, coughing and smoking a local cigarette, which smelled very strong and unpleasant.The sound of coughing was like a mouthful of thick phlegm stuck in his throat and he couldn't spit it out, which made people want to scratch his throat.

Fortunately, the people in this family were not as weird as the others. They didn't stare at us or stop talking. After we settled down, the man told us not to wander around, saying that the terrain here was dangerous and people who were not familiar with the environment were prone to accidents.

Xiaoliang called him Old Pengtouer, and Lao Pengtouer seemed to be the village head.

After settling down, Mr. Peng didn't rush us to do things. Instead, he asked his wife to prepare something to eat. During the meal, Xiao Liang said to Mr. Peng, "Where's your son? He Is it better? I asked my eldest sister to help him see it, my eldest sister is amazing, she will definitely show him a good look."

Old Peng's boss didn't seem to be thinking about it at all: "Eh...it's still the same, I haven't eaten or drank water for several days, and my body has lost a few layers of skin."

I asked, "Moulting? What do you mean? I don't know the situation yet, please tell me the details."

Xiaoliang took the lead: "Old Peng's son has some strange disease. His whole body is extremely itchy. If he doesn't scratch it, he will pass out. If he scratches it, his whole body will fester, and when it's over, it will scab, peel, and scab. When you look at it, it looks like snake scales, it can seep into people."

I ate something casually and put down my chopsticks: "Let me see the patient, I can go when I'm done, I'm going back in a hurry."

Old Peng said: "I can't go. It's going to rain heavily today. It's going to rain for a few days. There's no way to go. When it rains, the rattan ladder is so slippery. It's raining so hard here that there's no one there." go out."

I was a little curious: "How do you know that it will rain for a few days?"

Because according to my observation, the people here don’t even have a TV, at least the village chief, Mr. Peng, doesn’t have a TV at home, and the village chief doesn’t even have a TV at home. Can other people’s homes have one?Without TV, there is no way to read the weather forecast. Even if some experienced people can tell that it will rain, it is impossible to be sure that it will rain for a few days.

Old Peng directly ignored my question, as if he didn't hear it, Xiaoliang said to ease the embarrassment: "I have lived here for more than half my life, and I know the climate here very well. God knows if it will rain."

I didn't see anyone with a strange disease until the evening. My patience was almost exhausted, so I told Xiao Liang that if I didn't rush to do things, I would leave. I am not used to staying in this kind of place, it is too strange up.

Xiao Liang persuaded me to wait a little longer, and then he went to negotiate with Mr. Peng. After a while, he came back and told me that Mr. Peng would ask me to see a doctor for his son. Under Xiao Liang's leadership, we arrived The place where old Mr. Peng’s son lives is actually behind the main house. The bed was quilt, and the roof was still leaking, so it didn't shelter from wind or rain.

Mr. Peng also came over, but he didn't go in, he just squatted outside and smoked. From the expression on his face, it could be seen that he was very melancholy, and he should be melancholy. His son looked like he had just shed His whole body was glowing red, and he was scratched by the withered grass and was bleeding. Under the red skin, there were patches of crimson the size of fingernails. Old Peng's son desperately scratched those crimson spots. After the plaque swelled up, it bulged, and it looked shocking!

I asked Mr. Peng, "Are there a lot of snakes here?"

Mr. Peng took a breath and said, "Many, like snake nests. In the past, people here lived by catching snakes. Later, the number of snakes gradually decreased. They couldn't support the whole family, so they all farmed. , not many people make a living by catching snakes."

I suspect that this provoked the snake that opened its spirit orifice: "Does your son catch snakes? Or has he encountered any strange things recently?"

Old Peng Boss said casually: "I don't know, he doesn't catch snakes, he is lazy even in farming, and he is idle all day long. What I regret most in my life is that I only gave birth to such a son. If he is not good enough, I am afraid that my wife and I will die. There isn't even a funeral attendant, otherwise I don't care about this evil."

It seems that I can only rely on myself. I walked up to the son of Mr. Peng and asked, "Do you feel uncomfortable?"

Old Peng's son opened his eyes and looked at me: "Unfortunate..."

It's good to know how to talk, which means that he is at least clear-headed, but he is a little weak, and he is still scratching the skin on his body, regardless of the rotten skin. The ten fingers are stained with blood and thick water. It's dark, it's a bit miserable...

I continued to ask him: "What happened to you before you became like this? You have to think about it and tell me, otherwise I can't help you."

The son of old head Peng glanced in the direction of old head Peng, and then said: "I went out for a walk that day, and I met a beautiful woman, so I hugged her, and then I felt itchy on my hands. It has become like this, the old man in the village said that I was the queen who met the snake, and said that the people in the village used to catch snakes and do too many crimes, and they would be punished. I……"

As soon as Old Peng heard what his son said, he went in and hit his son on the forehead with a cigarette stick, which was quite hard, and then cursed: "You call your mother fart! Damn! I met a ghost! If the bastard is capable of finding a wife by himself, he will know that he misses someone else's family, and you deserve it!"

Old Peng's son was already feeling uncomfortable, but he was beaten up by his father, and he immediately became angry: "Are you mad at me, isn't it because no one in my family is willing to marry me? Diaoya Village is like that There are not enough young women, the village is full of bachelors, women outside are unwilling to marry, can you blame me? I’ll tell you, I stole half of the women in the village!”

Lao Peng was so angry that he wanted to hit someone again, but Xiao Liang stopped him.I felt more and more that something was wrong. If Mr. Peng's family could spend [-] yuan to treat his son's illness, it wouldn't make his son unable to marry a wife.For rich people, one hundred thousand is nothing, but in this poor and remote village, even in nearby villages, you might be able to get married with one hundred thousand. To put it more taboo, you can buy it even if you buy it from a human trafficker. One, so I feel that Mr. Peng’s family doesn’t even have [-] yuan. Even if Xiao Liang said that he saw the money, I still don’t believe it. I always feel cheated.
