Holy Bone

Chapter 155 Plum rain is coming

Fucheng.

At the door stood the Xue Mansion with two magnificent stone lions.

Xue Han is the eldest daughter-in-law who married into the Xue family.

Her husband's name is Xue Xiong, the eldest son of the Xue family.

but.

Something strange happened to her husband recently.

This has to start with last year.

Since the rainy season last year, my husband took some servants into the mountains to hunt.

Back from a few days in the mountains.

I started to occasionally say that my neck was numb and numb.

She didn't take it seriously at first.

It's been about half a year.

however.

The disease has never recovered.

Even later, the condition became more and more serious, and my husband began to say that his neck was numb and numb every day, and sometimes his neck was a little stiff even when he was practicing martial arts.

Xue Han thought it was because her husband practiced too much martial arts all year round and injured his cervical spine or some meridians.

The Xue family is a wealthy family and is not short of money.

So she asked the servants of the mansion to find a famous doctor in the city and show it to her husband.

In the beginning, the doctor came to the mansion every day for consultation, massaged her husband every day, massaged the back of his neck, promoted qi and relieved blood, and my husband did feel better.

This has been maintained for several months.

Of course.

Xue's family did not pay less money.

During this period, my husband did improve a lot, except that when it rained, his condition would worsen, and he felt his neck became a little stiff besides numbness.

The doctor said that this is a sign of qi and blood stasis. People who practice martial arts all the year round will suffer from some joint diseases if they do not take good care of them.

The doctor said that her husband should have suffered from some diseases after practicing martial arts all year round. In addition, when he went hunting in the mountains during the rainy season half a year ago, it may be that the damp and cold air entered his body, and he did not keep warm and kept out the cold. , A lot of moisture has accumulated in the body, so it is easy to stiffen the back of the neck and cervical spine when it rains.

The doctor prescribed several medicines.

It is said to be helpful in removing dampness.

But Xue Han knew very well that after her husband drank these medicines, it was still useless to his body.

But because the disease only appeared on rainy days, and apart from a stiff neck, there were no other adverse symptoms in the body, so the couple gradually ignored it.

just.

Not long after the peaceful days passed, the numbness and numbness in the back of my husband's neck began to recur again.

Even after this relapse, the condition of the back of the neck got worse.

It was not a rainy day, and my neck began to feel a little stiff.

The doctor's massage and massage were useless for several days, until a new doctor was changed, and the daily massage and acupuncture were used to promote blood circulation and Qi.

Only then did the condition improve.

During this period, there was no abnormality in her husband's neck.

Except when it rains, the stiffness in the back of the neck gets worse, the back of the neck is so stiff that it is difficult to turn the head, and I can't sleep well at night.

Her neck was so painful that even taking medicine was useless. When it rained, her husband would grit his teeth and endure the neck pain with cold sweat on his forehead. Xue Han could not do anything about her husband's condition except crying in anxiety.

See a doctor every time.

The doctor will only repeat that this is the root of the disease caused by martial arts and the aggravation of dampness disease. He advises to reduce the number of martial arts exercises, or even stop practicing martial arts.

But fortunately, people are normal at ordinary times.

Only when it rains does the disease recur.

And it doesn't rain a few times a year, right?

Xue Hanshi began to persuade her husband not to practice martial arts in the future, but to find the root cause of the disease first, and to cure the disease before practicing martial arts.

But not long after, the couple found that even if they didn't practice martial arts, it was useless, because Xue Xiong's condition relapsed again.

This time it got worse again.

In addition to numbness, my husband felt that the back of his neck had become stiff, and he couldn't sleep well at night. He couldn't even roll over or sleep on his side.

She searched for famous doctors in several prefectures for her husband, but this time all the doctors in Fucheng were helpless.

Especially when it rains, the condition worsens even more, to the point where the back of the neck feels heavy, and it is difficult to lower the head all day long, even raising the head.

But what Xue Hanshi didn't expect was that she didn't expect her husband's condition to deteriorate so badly and so quickly this time.

They haven't found a cure yet, and the condition is getting worse.

Even if it is not raining, it is difficult to even raise your head. You walk with your head down all day long, and when you greet acquaintances, you always respond with your head down.

Xue Hanshi looked at her husband's appearance, sometimes she was really worried that her husband would keep his head down all day and couldn't lift his head up, whether one day his head suddenly fell off and he couldn't pick it up!
That is, from that time on, the husband's temperament began to become withdrawn and surly.

Maybe it’s because I’ve been suffering from illness all day long, and I’ve asked famous doctors all but nothing. My husband’s temper has also become more and more irritable. My husband can’t bear others to look at his neck strangely. The torture of illness makes people feel inferior and sensitive .

Whenever others look at the husband's neck more than once, the husband will become furious and can't control his temper at all. Whether they are passers-by or servants, many people have been injured by the husband.

A lot of money was paid in the end.

The other party agreed not to report to the official.

And then, the husband, whose personality became more and more surly, and whose inner self-esteem became more and more inferior, began to stay behind closed doors. He shrank himself in the house all day long, eating, drinking, and messing around in the house.

Every day, people are not human, ghosts are not ghosts.

Because of not seeing the sun all day long, his complexion is getting worse and worse, his complexion is pale, his body is skinny, and he is becoming more and more silent.

There is no majestic physique of a martial arts practitioner.

It's still the appearance of the romantic and suave Xue Qinglang she admired and admired the most in the past.

It's like completely turning into two people.

Because of this matter, the elders and old ladies in the mansion, that is, her father-in-law and mother-in-law, fell on the sick bed several times, not only because they were angry, but also because there was no medicine to cure their beloved son's neck disease.

in fact.

As Xue Han's husband and wife with her husband Bai Rien.

How can I not know the pain in my husband's heart.

My husband had the idea of ​​committing suicide several times, saying that the back of his neck was so painful and heavy that he couldn't lift his head up. He began to think to himself, could there be someone sitting on the back of his neck?

There are more people sitting on the back of the neck every day, otherwise why would you wake up every day and feel that your back neck is getting heavier and heavier?

At first, Xue Han only talked nonsense when her husband was tortured by illness for a long time, but as the days passed, and after entering this year's rainy season, she found that her husband was not only physically tortured by illness, but even his mind began to deteriorate. become abnormal.

Her husband started to behave strangely every day, and his mind became twisted, which made her feel scared.

Because the husband asked his servants to fetch a basin of water, and then he nestled in the house every day, bowed his head and looked at the clear water in the basin, and talked about it all day long, so that he could see from the water whether there was a rash on his neck. Is someone sitting?

In this way, a person can see for a whole day without changing the body posture.

Xue Han once had the courage to sneak a look into the water basin.

The clear water in the basin is crystal clear, and there is nothing.

The husband's neck was empty, and no one was sitting.

She felt that the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. When she saw that her husband was holding on to the basin even at night, she secretly told the old man about it.

The old man and the old lady didn't want to believe it at first.

Until she took the master and the old lady to see her husband's weird behavior, the master was furious on the spot.

The master was furious and wanted to take away the water basin and drive the son who had become neither human nor ghost out of the house.

result!

When I saw the water basin was taken away.

Xue Xiong was so angry that he lost his mind, and even wanted to beat his biological parents.

Xue Hanshi will never forget her husband's fierce gaze that day.

Her husband's eyes were red, like a devil about to eat people, so scared that she even forgot to scream.

Fortunately, the husband was so skinny and weak due to the pain that he was finally stopped by the guards around the old man and the old lady in time, which did not lead to a big mistake of killing his father.

Seeing her husband becoming more and more insane, holding the water basin and saying those horrible things all day long, Xue Hanshi, who is a woman, was terrified.

Especially when she thought of her husband losing his mind that day and his red eyes as if he was going to eat people, Xue Hanshi didn't even dare to sleep with her husband again.

She was afraid that one day she would be murdered by her bedmate in her sleep.

And after such a commotion, the entire Xue family began to gossip, and many servants began to spread rumors in private, saying that the young master was bewitched by evil spirits.

No one dared to serve this young master of the Xue family.

No one dared to bring water in anymore.

They were all afraid that the young master would lose his mind and beat him to death.

Ever since his son killed his father, although the master fell ill with anger and said he wanted to sever the relationship between father and son, blood is thicker than water after all... Master Xue has only seen his son for a year, and he has been tortured to become so inhuman It's not a ghost.

The Xue family spent a lot of money to get a rosary that had been consecrated from the Bailong Temple in the prefectural city to ward off evil spirits for Xue Xiong.

Xue Han was pleasantly surprised to find that after her husband put on the rosary, his condition improved day by day.

Even his surly and withdrawn personality is slowly improving.

My daily eating and living habits have also returned to normal.

The person's personality began to gradually repeat and cheerful, and he began to go out to meet people. The body that was originally emaciated due to illness, gradually grew back to flesh and blood under the conditioning of medicinal materials.

Everything is going well.

The entire Xue family was filled with a festive atmosphere, and everyone felt that the young master of the Xue family had finally recovered from his illness.

After Xue Xiong's energy and blood gradually recovered, and his body gradually became stronger, he began to pick up the martial arts that had been left behind a long time ago, intending to practice martial arts to speed up his recovery.

Everyone felt that Xue Xiong's illness was cured, so they didn't stop him from practicing martial arts.

And the husband and wife resumed co-sleeping. After a long absence and drought, the couple fell asleep in the dark night and fell asleep under the co-sleeping blanket.

……

……

woohoo-

wow wow wow-

It was clear that the day was still sunny, but after nightfall it began to rain heavily, and the rain came quickly and heavily.

Fucheng.

The outer wall is covered with bamboo frames, and the five internal organs Taoist temple is still being expanded.

L.

The eaves kept dripping raindrops, disturbing people's sleep and waking them up from sleep.

"Isn't it the end of the rainy season, why is there still such a heavy rain?"

The old Taoist priest holding an oilcloth umbrella stepped on the pits and muddy water that had been dug in the Taoist temple, hurried out of the wing room, and then checked all the way for mistakes.

Move the wood and mirage ash to a dry place to avoid being wet by rain.

Then check to see if there is any rain leakage and take waterproof measures.

In the other two directions of the Taoist temple, Jin'an and Chijian are also urgently processing things to prevent the building materials from being wet by the rain.

Fortunately, during the day, the masons have already stored these building materials with experience.

Although it has entered the end of the rainy season and the rain is getting less and less, it is still in the rainy season after all, and it may suddenly rain for you at any time.

After Jin'an, the old Taoist priest, and Jian Jian checked around, and saw that there was nothing serious, they temporarily dealt with a few small details before returning to the warm temporary room.

It's just that after such a toss, and being blown by the cold wind, the three of them are completely awake, and they won't be sleepy for a while.

Now that the Taoist Temple of the Five Viscera has not yet been expanded, the three of Jin'an are temporarily squeezed into the same wing room. The old Taoist boiled a pot of hot water, curled up in the warm quilt, and took a sip of hot water happily to warm up his body.

When a person reaches middle age, it is easy to have a pot of hot water and a pot of wolfberry.

"Suck it up, suck it up, suck it up, suck it up..."

The old Taoist was holding a teacup, sitting comfortably under the warm quilt, listening to the sound of rain outside, drinking hot water loudly, not to mention how comfortable he looked.

Jin An looked at the old Taoist who was drinking water loudly, speechless.

"Old man, don't eat or sleep without talking."

The old Taoist continued to enjoy the hot drink in his hand and said, "Little brother, you don't understand, you just don't understand the enjoyment of life."

"Although it is not suitable to drink tea at night, but life is so short, don't always be a passer-by in a hurry, you must learn to enjoy the fun in the bitterness. Little brother, do you think that I am drinking hot white tea now? Wrong, I am drinking green tea now. .”

"As for drinking tea, there are many tricks inside..." The old Taoist began to talk about his way of drinking tea while sipping hot tea.

"Different teas have different ways of drinking. Drinking like you, little brother, can only be said to be reckless. Some teas are sweet, and you need to sip them with the tip of your tongue to taste the sweetness of the tea; some teas You need the back of your tongue to swallow slowly to taste the bitterness and astringency of tea; some teas need to wriggle slowly on both sides of the back of your tongue to savor the bitterness and bitterness of life in the tea ceremony..."

"When drinking green tea, it is mixed with bitterness, astringency, freshness, and sweetness. It is bitter first and then sweet, first thick and then light, first fresh and then sweet, with a lingering fragrance and a refreshing and sweet aftertaste. Therefore, after drinking in the mouth, you should not be bored in one mouthful. You should make full use of the different tastes on both sides of the tongue coating on the tip of the tongue and the root of the tongue. Let the green tea keep rolling around in your mouth, so that you can slowly aftertaste the taste of bitterness first and then sweetness. Experience the simplicity and taste of the world.”

"Isn't this just green tea mouthwash?"

Uh, Jin An was shocked and looked at the old Taoist priest with an aftertaste on his face, I believe your evil.

"I don't drink green tea."

"Green tea is not to my taste, I still like to drink simple hot water."

Jin An said hehe.

"Suck and grunt..."

Cutting the sword, which was motionless at first, listened to the old Taoist's words, and the handsome old Taoist took a sip of the hot water in his hand, and then said bluntly: "Master, the third junior brother lied."

"This is not green tea."

Old Taoist: "?"

The old Taoist's dick hurt, and he was so angry that he ignored his second senior brother and sharpened his sword.

Jin An laughed loudly, the old Taoist's face darkened even more, and he gulped down the "green tea" in his hand.

In the room with candles on, chatting and laughing for a while, in this cold and rainy night, it added a lot of popularity to this Taoist temple under the dark night.

suddenly.

Boom!

Bang bang bang!
On a rainy night, the gate of the Taoist temple was slapped vigorously. Several people with lanterns, as if they had encountered some urgent matter, rushed to the Taoist temple in the rain, and kept slapping on the gate of the Taoist temple with anxious faces.

The word "Xue" was written on the lanterns of these people.

"Taoist, Taoist!"

"The Taoist priest's life is at stake, the Taoist priest, are you asleep?"

"Human life is at stake, please save our young master and grandma!"
