Chapter 127 Grandma Bai's Entrustment
"Let me check!"
I composed myself, went to the kang (a heated brick bed), and carefully scooped up the old hedgehog.
Diagnosing the pulse of a deity is also called diagnosing the pulse of a deity.
It sounds complicated, but it's actually quite similar to taking someone's pulse.
Aunt Kong stared at me, her eyes unblinking.
"It's nothing serious!"
After about three minutes, I exhaled, smiled at Aunt Kong, and said, "It's just that the energy expenditure was too great. I have a Three-Flavor Pill made primarily from six-leaf ginseng. I'll feed it to the old immortal in a bit, and he'll wake up tonight!"
"Then I'm relieved!" Aunt Kong breathed a sigh of relief.
I glanced at the old immortal who was still unconscious and instructed, "Aunt Kong, prepare me a bowl of warm water; Ni'er, give me the needle case!"
"Okay, I'll go get it right away!"
Aunt Kong nodded and immediately went to prepare warm water, while Long Nier found the needle case and pills and handed them over.
I opened the needle box and started by giving the old immortal acupuncture.
After I finished inserting the needle, Aunt Kong handed me some warm water.
I rubbed the wax pill open, divided it into twenty small pills, and carefully fed them to the old immortal.
Half an hour later, I removed the silver needles from the old immortal's body, and all that was left was to wait.
Aunt Kong took advantage of her free time to stew chicken for us.
"Thirteen, the old immortal said things haven't been peaceful these past few years; there's been some commotion over at Changbai Mountain!"
After the chicken stew was cooked, Aunt Kong glanced at the old immortal who was still unconscious and frowned.
"Is Changbai Mountain not peaceful? What did the old sage say?"
I asked.
"The old immortal said that someone was spying on the dragon vein and awakened the things in Changbai Mountain!" Aunt Kong said.
"Did the old immortal say who was spying on the dragon vein?" I asked.
"The old immortal didn't say!" Aunt Kong shook her head.
After hesitating for a moment, Aunt Kong continued, "I bet it's still the Japanese. When the Japanese were defeated back then, one unit went missing in the Changbai Mountains, never to be seen again, dead or alive!"
"Some say the Japanese buried gold in Changbai Mountain, others say they hid some rare and precious materials they plundered there. Anyway, there are all sorts of rumors!"
"Aunt Kong, do you think the descendants of the Japanese devils have come to search for treasure?" I asked.
"Um!"
Aunt Kong nodded.
"Maybe someone back home is eyeing this too!" I said.
"That's possible!" Aunt Kong said after thinking for a moment.
Half an hour later, the chicks were cooked.
After we had eaten and drunk our fill, Aunt Kong laid out a kang (heated brick bed) for the three of us in the east room so we could catch up on some sleep.
I slept until the afternoon, and when I woke up, I found Aunt Kong sitting by the window looking outside.
"woke up?"
Seeing that I opened my eyes, Aunt Kong asked with a smile.
"Are you Grandma Bai?"
I hesitated for a moment and asked.
The reason for asking this question is simple: Aunt Kong's expression was off; she had a kind and gentle look on her face, just like an old lady looking at her younger generation.
"It's me, Little Thirteen! It's been so many years!"
"Aunt Kong" nodded and said with a smile.
"It's been many years!"
I feel a bit emotional. The last time we met was when I was in junior high school and was poisoned by a curse. I saw Grandma Bai give me the medicine with my own eyes that time.
"Is that girl your wife?"
"Aunt Kong" pointed to Long Nier, who was sleeping next to me.
"yes!"
I nodded.
"This child has had a hard life, you should treat her well!"
Aunt Kong walked over, grabbed a strand of hair and plucked it out, then opened her hand, revealing a pill in her palm.
"Grandma Bai, there's no need for medicine!"
I remembered the old hedgehog I saw this morning that had hardly any quills left, and I quickly refused to go.
"What do you mean, 'not needed'!"
Aunt Kong glared at me, shoved the medicine into my hand, and said, "You're always taking your wife's pulse and treating this and that, how could you forget to treat your own wife!"
"Huh?" I glanced at Long Nier.
"What? Taking your pulse!" Aunt Kong said.
"Why!"
I nodded, took Long Nier's hand out from under the blanket, and placed it on her wrist.
"Um?"
In less than ten seconds, I frowned. "How can we have such a large deficit?"
"You don't even know your wife is in poor health?" Aunt Kong looked at me with a half-smile.
"I really, really don't know!"
I stammered a bit, "Grandma Bai, to tell you the truth, the time she used a curse on me left a huge shadow on me. Last year she came to me and said that it wasn't her who used the curse on me, but a witch doctor from the village, but I'm still traumatized!"
"Alright, that's enough. She's a good girl!"
After I stammered out my explanation of Long Ni'er's situation, Aunt Kong sighed and said, "This child, she's relied on you. If it weren't for you, she probably wouldn't have been able to crawl out of that hole!"
"That's why her body is severely depleted. Feed her the medicine I gave her, and when you get back, slowly help her recover!"
"Don't keep getting treatment for this illness and that illness, or you'll end up losing your wife!"
"Why are you crying, child?"
As she spoke, "Aunt Kong" sighed.
I turned my head and saw that a tear had slid down from the corner of Long Ni'er's eye.
"Nier?" I tried calling out.
Long Nier opened her eyes and said to "Aunt Kong," "Grandma Bai, thank you!"
"What are you thanking me for? You're a good child. Little Thirteen is fortunate to have you; it's all thanks to the good deeds of his ancestors!" Aunt Kong said.
Long Nier felt a little embarrassed by the praise and shrank further under the covers.
"Grandma Bai, why did you save Xia Wen's child?" I changed the subject.
"We have no choice but to save her. Xia Wen is obsessive, and her husband is unscrupulous when it comes to money. If that child dies, they'll definitely break up. Not only will Xia Wen hate me, but her husband will hate me too!"
"I'm not afraid of her husband; at most, I'll send a little devil over. But Xia Wen is different. The karma she carries is too heavy for me to handle!"
"Aunt Kong" sighed as she spoke.
"Are you alright?" I asked.
"fine!"
Aunt Kong shook her head and said, "It's just that it took a lot of energy, but she'll be fine after some rest!"
"It's good that you're alright!" I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Little Thirteen, Grandma has a favor to ask of you!"
"Aunt Kong" said.
"Please speak!" I said.
"I watched your Aunt Kong grow up. Her life was quite bumpy. She never met a good man. The Kong family line ended with her. If she's gone, it doesn't matter to me that I'll lose the incense offerings, but I have to think about the descendants of the clan!"
"Aunt Kong" said.
"You want me to set up an incense hall?" I immediately understood what Grandma Bai meant.
"No need, no need. In my clan, there's only one with a spiritual nature in this generation. You just need to take care of it and keep an eye on it. Feed it whatever you eat!"
"It can understand human speech, and it can handle most poisons and curses!"
"Grandma Bai, leave this to me, I'll take care of it!" Long Nier said.
