Chapter 39 - Chapter 39: Ancient Views

Of course, I was the only one who heard the sound, and everyone else was paying attention to the corpse of Uncle Huang on the bed. ()

They were stunned for a while when they saw the corpse, and then chirped to discuss what was going on. They saw that he was fine a few hours ago, but he died on the bed in a blink of an eye.

The village chief was well-informed, and he went up to pick up Uncle Huang's body and said, "It's almost rotting away, it looks like he's been dead for a long time."

I found it unbelievable to hear that, just five or six hours ago, he was training us with a pipe in his mouth. Even if he died after training us, he wouldn't have died so quickly.

Shen Fu originally wanted to go up to have a look, but he couldn't do what he wanted, and he had to hold on to the wooden door to keep from falling down. Meng Changqing said that Shen Fu underestimated the subordinates and suffered a big loss from the subordinates. Judging from his current state, he really suffered a lot from the bottom.

Seeing Shen Fu's body slowly moving down, we hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and asked him what's wrong.

He just said that his head hurts a little, let's take him back to rest first.

Shen Fu's situation caught the villagers' attention. Compared with the living, the dead are naturally more important, especially the benefactors of the ancestors who have just been rescued.

Seeing that Shen Fu's expression was not right, they also stepped forward to ask what happened to Shen Fu, and Shen Fu told them not to burn the body first, he would come to have a look in the morning, and now he would go back to rest for a while.

The villagers then sent him back to his room. After sending him back, the village head found a woman who was similar to the barefoot doctor outside and showed Shen Fu.

This doctor looks a bit out of tune with the people here. It doesn't mean that she is ugly. On the contrary, she is not only not ugly, but also very delicate. Her petite body makes her look a bit small and exquisite, just like a little girl who has not yet fully developed.

When this doctor saw Shen Fu, the village head introduced her to us.

The doctor's name is Zhang Qiuxia, she is less than 30 years old, and she learned her medical skills from her father. When her father passed away a few years ago, she took over her father's medicine box and treated people in this village.

While the village head was talking to us, Zhang Qiuxia had finished reading it for Shen Fu, turned around and said, "He is not sick, but has lost his soul, and needs to be called!"

She also said that she can't call the soul, and asked if there is anyone among us who can call the soul, so that he can call the soul back.

Calling the soul and shouting shock, it is widely spread in the countryside, and different places have different names, and the person who calls the soul does not have to be a warlock, as long as he knows the method.

Meng Changqing said he would, and then walked out of the house after the villagers had prepared everything, and walked in within two minutes.

After coming in, he said that he might have to wait a while to come back. He left his soul down there, and the journey was a bit far.

After the soul call, the villagers stayed by Shen Fu's side, and Shen Fu fell asleep because of exhaustion. After he fell asleep, Meng Changqing asked Zhang Qiuxia how she saw that he had lost his soul.

Zhang Qiuxia said that she had a book at home, which recorded such symptoms.

After hearing this, Meng Changqing hurriedly asked what book it was.

Zhang Qiuxia didn't shy away from it, and told us directly that her grandfather picked up the book in the ancient temple in the village. It was called "Qing Nang Miscellaneous Compilation". His grandfather learned medical skills from this book, and then passed it on to her father. , now passed to her.

After hearing this, I thought that such good things could still be found in the ancient temple, so I had the idea of going to have a look right away, but after thinking about it, they have lived here for so many years, even if there are other good things, they would pick them up Now that we're gone, where else can we get our turn.

We stayed here for a while, and the villagers let us go to sleep. Because of Shen Fu, their attitude towards us has improved, and they never said they would send us away tomorrow.

When I was sleeping, I asked what the book was for, and it even recorded the loss of souls.

Meng Changqing told me that the book was written by a Taoist priest named Shao Zhenren, and it recorded some Taoist medical theories, which were very valuable.

I felt strange when I heard it, so I asked, "Why did you find Taoist books in the temple?"

"The villagers admit it wrong. Who doesn't regard the temple as a temple now? In my opinion, it is an ancient Taoist temple at all, not an ancient temple."

I then asked Meng Changqing why he didn't let Shen Fu know that he knew Taoism. Meng Changqing said that our situation is very complicated now, and we should pay more attention to any doubts.

A master is a master, and he takes a long-term perspective.

After knowing the answer I wanted, I fell asleep contentedly. When I woke up, the sun was already drying my ass outside. Looking at the whole room, I was still sleeping, and everyone else got up and went out.

I then got up to look for them and found them in Uncle Huang's house.

When he got to the door and didn't go in, he was frightened by the stench. He covered his nose and leaned on the window to look inside. The second uncle Huang had rotted into liquid, and the whole bed was soaked in corpse water.

The village chief kicked out the children and didn't let them see the thing. Meng Changqing asked Xiaoxiao to come out too, saying that it would not be good for them. Xiaoxiao was bored when she came out, and when she saw it, she sweetly called Brother Ye Hai, then ran to me and stayed there.
