I was embarrassed to look at Wang Erming.

"Then Brother Erming, you go back first. Aunt Huang and I will go take a look."

"It's okay. I'm fine at home. I'll go with you guys to take a look." He replied.

"Okay, okay, let's go together." Aunt Huang did not stop them.

"Auntie Huang, is there something wrong at home?" I asked while locking the door.

"You, you'll know when you go and see. Your grandma said she can't help. See if you can help?"

She didn't make it clear.

I was also completely confused. What else could it be? If grandma couldn't solve it, I could. I didn't want to care less and just followed Aunt Huang and walked quickly to her home.

There are only five households in the bay where her family lives. The first one was my original home, which was later sold to the Yang family who immigrated from Henan.

The second family also had the surname Huang. I heard that they were former landlords, but their fortunes fell before liberation, so they were not persecuted.

The third family is hers. After Huang Jiahai got married, he lived with his parents. His grandfather was still alive, so four generations lived under the same roof. When his younger brother got married, he moved to the newly built house in the bay behind.

"Daughter-in-law, Liu Feng took it. Quick, quick, Liu Feng, go into the room and see my great-grandson. What's wrong with him?"

Old Master Huang was guarding the door. Although he was hunched over, he spoke with full energy.

"Grandpa Huang." I called out politely, but before I could figure out what was going on, I was taken to the room on the left.

When I went in, I was stunned. The whole family was crowded in one room, including Uncle Huang, Huang Jiahai, and his wife Lixiu, holding the little one named Tiancai.

The whole family looked at the child named Tianxi lying on the bed with sad faces.

Grandma's face was serious as she took Tianxi's pulse.

"Grandma Xu, you've been here for quite some time. Can you tell what's wrong with this child?"

Seeing grandma put down Tianxi's hand and stuffed it into the quilt, Huang Jiahai couldn't help but asked anxiously.

"It's hard to say. It looks like a weak illness, but I can't feel any Yin energy."

Grandma frowned and replied.

"What can I do? I went to the hospital but they couldn't find out what's wrong with me. They prescribed some medicine and I've been using it for 10 days but there's no improvement."

After hearing what grandma said, Sister Lixiu burst into tears immediately.

When she cried, the three-year-old Tiancai in her arms also started crying.

"Mother, take the child out to comfort him first. Liu Feng is here too. Let her take a look at the child first."

Huang Jiahai listened to the two people, one big and one small, crying. He was anxious and irritated, and shouted at them to get out.

"Come, come, come, let grandma carry you outside."

Seeing this, Aunt Huang hurriedly tried to take the child from Sister Lixiu.

But Tiancai didn't give her face. He turned over and lay on his mother's shoulder and continued crying.

Aunt Huang had no choice but to walk out of the room holding her daughter-in-law's hand. The room suddenly became much quieter. Wang Erming did not enter the room. He stood at the door and watched, not daring to say a word.

"Come, Feng'er, come and take a look at your little nephew."

Grandma asked me to come to her.

I walked over and saw Tianxi lying on the bed. The little guy was curled up in the quilt, his face pale and still twitching.

When I walked into the room, I didn't feel any evil spirit, nor did I see any ghosts.

Grandma gently lifted the quilt covering Tianxi.

When I saw the skin below Tianxi's neck, I was shocked. No wonder the child was in so much pain.

His skin looked as if it had been scalded by boiling water. The surface skin curled up, revealing the blood inside, which was bright red, as if his skin had been peeled off alive.

Seeing Tianxi like this, my heart ached. How painful it must be for him, such a young child having to endure so much pain.

No wonder his mother was standing by and wiping her tears. The child is hurt and the mother is heartbroken.

I pulled the sheet down further and it seemed that it was not yet on my legs.

After reading it, I shook my head at my grandma, indicating that I didn’t see any problem either.

"Aunt Xu, Liu Feng, do you think this child can be saved?"

Uncle Huang, who had been silent the whole time, saw the interaction between my grandma and me and asked with tears in his eyes.

"Hey, Xiao Huang, this is not something an old woman like me can handle. You should ask someone else for help."

Grandma sighed and said.

"Grandma, could it be?"

I suddenly thought of what my grandma said about the yellow fox and opened my mouth to ask about it, but was interrupted by her.

"Feng'er, let's go back. By the way, Jiahai, take Tianxi to the city hospital tomorrow!"

Grandma then said to Huang Jiahai.

I knew that my grandma must have her reasons for not letting me speak, so I swallowed and followed her out of the room.

The whole family looked worried and no one came to see us out.

"Sister Xu, how is my great-grandson? Can he be cured?"

The old man standing at the door asked anxiously when he saw us come out.

"Brother Huang, there is nothing I can do about this child's illness. I can only leave it to fate."

Grandma's words made the whole family despair.

"Then you, you, do you see any clues?"

The old man was a little unwilling to give up and continued to ask.

"You are old, take care of yourself. If you don't listen to the advice of the elderly, you will suffer. Ask your family for help. I really can't help you."

Grandma said as she pulled me out.

Isn't it obvious that grandma is talking about Brother Jiahai's catching of yellow foxes? Why didn't you let me talk about it just now?

"Oh God, please use my life to exchange for the life of my great-grandson. If I keep living like this, it will bring disaster to my descendants."

The old man suddenly said this, and I felt like the sky was falling for this family, and I felt inexplicably sad.

My grandma and I were stunned for a long while before my grandma turned around and said to the old man.

"Brother, this is none of your business. Just live peacefully and take care of yourself."

The old man had tears in his eyes. He waved at us and turned into the house.

"Erming, go back. You don't have to follow us."

Only then did grandma realize that Wang Erming had been following us.

"Grandma Xu, let me take you and Feng'er back first."

By this time it was already very dark, with only a faint moonlight. Grandma didn't object anymore, she just walked forward silently without saying another word.

Wang Erming and I followed her. The atmosphere was tense and neither of us dared to say a word.

We walked all the way to my house, and Wang Erming walked us all the way home before turning back.

After entering the house and turning on the light, grandma's expression was still very solemn and she didn't say a word. I couldn't help but ask again.

"Grandma, Tianxi, is this disease related to the yellow fox?"

"It was the yellow fox who did it." Grandma answered firmly.

"Then, why didn't you let me speak at his house just now?" I asked curiously.

"The debts owed must be repaid, and I can't change my fate!" Grandma sighed.

"Then, is it true that Tianxi's life cannot be saved?"

I feel very sorry because Tianxi is a child we watched grow up.

This child's temperament is just like his name, very cheerful. He loves to laugh since he was young and is happy all day long. Everyone in the village likes him very much.
