Sitting on the cross-border trading group, the country is chasing after it

Seeing how calm and composed Mr. Zhou was, Mr. Xing immediately understood what was going on. He slapped him hard and said, "If you have an idea, why don't you just say it now? You are just trying to show off and whet my appetite!"

Elder Zhou rubbed his shoulders and pointed at Elder Xing with his finger: "You old fellow, you are still so strong."

"That means I'm in good health. Don't interrupt me. Just tell me now."

"Do you think the person who can give us so many drawings is an ordinary person? Of course not. Since he is not an ordinary person, he must be related to some puzzling things. We just need to follow this line of thought and investigate, and maybe we can get a clue."

Old Xing's eyes lit up, and he slapped his thigh and said, "You're right! The Ninth Base is still this one."

He said, giving a thumbs up.

Mr. Zhou sighed: "I hope everything goes well. I also hope that the other party's goal is to cooperate with us peacefully."

"You are too worried. I tell you, if you keep worrying about this and that every day, you won't live long."

"Are you cursing me?"

"I wish you a long life!"

People at their age have become more open-minded about death and can joke about it without restraint.

***

Jiang Ruochu and Ye Sha were on their way to the eastern part of the village when they suddenly heard a fierce quarrel and crying coming from the house next door.

After a while, a woman rushed out of the house holding a child with a red face, followed by the man chasing her closely.

The man pulled the woman, chattering in the local dialect, and refused to let her go.

Jiang Ruchu had no idea what the two were talking about, but she could see that the child in the woman's arms was in a very bad condition and seemed to have fallen into a semi-comatose state.

She immediately asked the translator: "What are they arguing about?"

"I'll go ask." After the translator said this, he shouted to the people in the yard, then walked over to inquire about the situation. After finding out the whole story, he quickly walked back.

"We found out that the girl went out to play in the sea a few days ago and got sick after she came back. They took some medicine and fed her for two days but it didn't work. It just so happened that the master came to the village today, so they asked him to take a look."

"The master said the child was haunted by a sea ghost and could not be saved. He suggested that they prepare for her death. The child's mother wanted to take her to the city for medical treatment, but her father did not want her to see a doctor, saying that this was God's will and that if they offended God, they would run into trouble when fishing in the sea in the future."

"The couple started arguing over a disagreement."

"..." Jiang Ruochu discovered that no matter where, as long as education is backward, these messy superstitions are likely to appear.

Jiang Ruochu couldn't just watch a child die in front of him, so he asked the system to use the [Magical Acupuncture] skill to scan the child's condition.

This child actually had a common cold, and because he didn't receive regular and timely treatment, he developed a high fever. If he hadn't seen a doctor, he would probably have died. Even if he was rescued later, his brain might have been damaged.

Jiang Ruochu glanced at the system prompt, which indicated that the child only needed one injection. She said to the translator, "Tell them that I can help treat the child."

The translator quickly told the couple the good news.

The woman's eyes widened with joy, and the man waved his hands excitedly and talked a lot.

Through the translation, we learned that what the man meant was "The master asked the gods, and the gods said that the child is hopeless. If the child doesn't die, these sea ghosts will definitely haunt other people in the family."

Jiang Ruochu was very experienced in dealing with such superstitious people. She made up a story: "Since it is God's will, let God decide again."

"I will ask the gods right now. If all the fish you hang on the rope fall down, it means that your gods of the sky and the sea agree."

People who live by the sea believe in the weather and fear the sea the most, so the locals worship the gods of sky and sea.

Jiang Ruochu winked at Ye Sha.

Ye Sha nodded slightly.

Afterwards, Jiang Ruochu began to worship in the direction of the sea, reciting quickly in his hometown dialect: "Watermelon and winter melon are both melons, but they are not from the same family. Watermelon tastes better when it is red, and winter melon tastes better when it is made into soup."

Although the translator could understand Chinese, he was not proficient in it. Moreover, Jiang Ruchu spoke in his native dialect and very quickly. He just thought that Jiang Ruchu was chanting a very mysterious and poetic spell.

As soon as Jiang Ruochu finished speaking, a gust of wind suddenly blew in the yard, the drying rope broke, and the dried fish fell to the ground.

"I have consulted the gods of heaven and sea, and they said it is okay."

The translator immediately translated it for the couple. The woman laughed and cried with joy, and the man knelt on the ground excitedly, thanking the gods of heaven and the sea god.

Without further ado, Jiang Ruochu immediately asked the woman to take the child back into the house.

After entering the house, Jiang Ruochu found that the house was bare and the bed, table and chairs were all made by himself out of wood, with traces of rough handicraftsmanship.

I guess this is why the master said the child could not be saved. Because the family couldn't afford it, the master naturally didn't want to treat him.

Jiang Ruochu asked the woman to lay the child flat on the wooden bed in the room, and she began to give the child an injection according to the system's prompts.

The couple had never seen such a treatment method, but they dared not say anything.
