Chapter 221 My head is about to fall off!
After hearing the farmer's explanation, Ye Xiaoxiao became even more certain of her suspicions.
Most people working in the fields drink water from streams or rivers, or from the mountains, when they are thirsty.
Although the water looks clean, it may contain insect eggs that are not visible to the naked eye.
The farmer in front of me must have accidentally swallowed a leech while drinking untreated water.
At this moment, the farmer's bleeding finally stopped.
Ye Xiaoxiao gave him a quick cleaning and said, "Is your nose itchy now? Come with me into the sun, let me take a look at your nose."
The farmer nodded, his nose was indeed itchy: "Doctor, could I really have some kind of illness? I don't feel anything wrong with me."
After saying that, he raised his hand and rubbed his itchy nose.
Bai Qing and Qianji Daoren also went over.
The farmer tilted his head back, closed his eyes, and faced the direction of the sun.
Ye Xiaoxiao followed the direction of his nostrils and saw something sticking out like a black, pointed tentacle.
It seems to be a leech after all.
"Sir, I've checked, there's a leech in your nose. You must have drunk some tap water outside and accidentally swallowed it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of the people around him changed drastically, and Bai Qing broke out in goosebumps. It was a leech! How disgusting!
"Huh? Doctor, that can't be right. Our village has been doing this for generations, and we've never heard of anyone drinking that stuff."
A look of shock flashed across the farmer's face. Suddenly, his expression turned ashen, his face as pale as paper.
The reason was simple: he suddenly remembered a terrible rumor he had heard from the older generation when he was a child.
I heard that a woman from a neighboring village went up the mountain to chop firewood. When she got thirsty, she drank some spring water, but somehow she ended up eating a leech.
Later, she felt her scalp getting itchier day by day, so she scratched it hard with her hands.
That day, she sat in the yard scratching her head frantically. Her family thought she was trying to slack off and refusing to do any work, so they patted her on the head.
As a result, the woman let out a shrill scream.
The next instant, her head rolled to the ground, swarming with leeches!
Back then, he was young, and after hearing this rumor, he had nightmares for a whole month.
I keep dreaming about being eaten by leeches, or about leeches desperately burrowing into my calves, so slippery that I can't catch them and just watch them disappear into my calves...
"Doctor, please save me! I have elderly parents and young children to support, and I have to put the whole family at ease. I don't want to die! I don't want to die!"
Inside the small clinic, the wails of a farmer echoed.
He felt his nose was even itchier, and his head... was also slightly itchy.
Aaaaaaah! My scalp feels like it's standing on end!!!
Just then, the Taoist Qianji gently patted the farmer's shoulder with his wrinkled hand: "I told you, I didn't cause your nose to bleed. See, I'm innocent."
"Ahhhhhh!" The farmer was scared half to death by the Thousand Machine Taoist's slap.
My head is going to fall off! My head is going to fall off!
He quickly covered his head with his hands.
fortunately! fortunately!
His head was still firmly attached to his neck. He was terrified; he thought his head was about to fall off!
He turned his head and glared angrily at the old man beside him, then immediately moved three zhang away from him, afraid that the other man would hit him again.
Seeing the farmer's overreaction, Ye Xiaoxiao repeatedly comforted him, "It's alright, what you're worried about won't happen. It's just a small leech; we'll just lure it out."
The farmer looked at Ye Xiaoxiao with a mixture of belief and doubt.
The doctor spoke so casually; the older generation in the village probably wouldn't lie.
But he didn't know that although the old people in the village didn't lie, they would talk nonsense to scare children.
"Bai Qing, go to Miss Zhao's meat stall and get me some pig's blood. Not too much, just half a bowl will do," Ye Xiaoxiao instructed.
Bai Qing strode out the door.
Ye Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and realized that she was indeed lacking tools: silver needles, porcelain bottles, and an extremely sharp knife... She had to find a way to get them all.
......
On the other side, Bai Qing took a small bowl and ran to Zhao Yun'er's meat stall. He explained his purpose, and Zhao Yun'er gave him half a bowl of pig's blood.
Bai Qing took the bowl, thanked him, and stretched his neck back. The bright red pig's blood in the bowl emitted a fishy smell.
He suppressed the churning in his stomach and turned to rush back to the clinic.
"Hey, wait a minute!"
A familiar voice called out to him.
Bai Qing turned her head and saw a handsome young man. Although she didn't know him, he looked somewhat familiar.
It’s weird.
Qian Jinyun originally wanted to take advantage of her successful weight loss to come to Miss Zhao's meat stall and become a familiar face.
Today, he wore a newly customized blue outfit, radiating confidence. Indeed, when you lose weight, you look good in anything.
Unexpectedly, Miss Zhao still maintained a cold and aloof demeanor towards everyone.
This time, Bai Qing followed Doctor Xiao Xiao's instructions and came to fetch fresh pig's blood.
He looked on with curiosity. Could this thing really cure diseases?
Qian Jinyun looked at Bai Qing, her eyes revealing an indescribable suspicion: "You just said that Doctor Xiao Xiao said to use the pig's blood in this bowl to cure the disease?"
Bai Qing noticed the suspicious look in the other person's eyes and felt a little displeased by his questioning of Sister Xiao Xiao's attitude.
When he replied, his tone couldn't help but carry a hint of anger: "Believe it or not! It's absolutely true!"
Seeing Bai Qing's anger, Qian Jinyun knew she shouldn't have harbored any suspicions.
Come to think of it, if Dr. Xiao Xiao can help him lose weight, what else can't she do?
Qian Jinyun said, "Come on, I'll go with you to take a look. Miss Zhao, I'll come to see you again tomorrow."
After saying that, he looked at the girl who was raising a cleaver high behind the chopping board.
With a swift stroke of her knife, the girl split a pork bone in two.
Qian Jinyun's eyes flashed with admiration: Miss Zhao is so dashing!
he likes!
......
Inside the main hall outside the clinic, only Ye Xiaoxiao and Zhuang Jiahan remained; Qianji Daoren had gone back to catch up on his sleep.
Bai Qing quickly returned, followed by a tail.
"Sister Xiao Xiao, I'm back! Here, fresh pig's blood!" With that, he gently placed the bowl on the table.
"Dr. Xiao Xiao!" Qian Jinyun's voice rang out at the same time.
"Young Master Qian!" Ye Xiaoxiao was surprised that Qian Jinyun had come along as well.
Bai Qing, who was standing to the side, stared wide-eyed, her jaw almost dropping to the ground.
what? !
Who is this extraordinary-looking man before us? Young Master Qian?
He simply couldn't reconcile the person in front of him with the Qian Jinyun who used to be as fat as a small mountain and had no neck.
