Rebirth 78: Hunting for Treasure in the Mountains, Spoiling My Wife and Daughter to the Heavens

"The child is too young. Maybe try making some ginger soup, or give him some aspirin. There's no other good solution."

The kerosene lamp shone brightly in the room.

The elderly doctor released his hand from taking the child's pulse and sighed again: "The pulse is fine, it's just that the third joint of the child's middle finger keeps twitching."

"Or...or you could ask Old Mrs. Chang for a look. I remember that meant something."

Upon hearing this, Lu Weiguo looked at the old doctor with disbelief.

The old doctor used to be the village's barefoot doctor.

Later, because he had no children, he stayed in Fendou Village. Over the years, whenever someone in the village had a serious illness or minor misfortune, they would go to him for help.

It's hard to say exactly how effective the treatment is, but in the end, everyone who goes to see the doctor recovers.

Two people died at home after drinking alcohol right after seeing a doctor.

Later, rumors circulated that the old doctor had added aspirin and other Western medicines to the Chinese medicine he sold.

"I told you to ask Mrs. Chang for help! The child is so young, how could he have a cold or fever? He probably just caught something. You two stay home and watch the child."

I'll have my eldest son go to Mrs. Chang's house and invite him over!

Lu Dewang displayed an air of wisdom, proving that experience matters.

Fearing that Lu Weiguo would not listen to him, he limped out of the courtyard gate in two steps.

"Thank you, doctor. I won't let the child take aspirin anymore; it's too risky for such a young child. I'll make some ginger soup for him to drink and soak his feet to get rid of the cold."

After seeing the old doctor off, Lu Weiguo busied himself at home.

Upon hearing that his beloved niece had a fever, Lu Baojia responded incredibly quickly.

In less than an hour, they brought Old Mrs. Chang over in a wheelbarrow.

Mrs. Chang has silver hair and black eyebrows.

She had a kind and gentle face, and her simple-minded granddaughter was always by her side, acting as her helper.

This silly granddaughter usually does the shamanistic rituals and such.

Once inside, Mrs. Chang still looked like she hadn't woken up properly.

However, upon seeing Lu Jiahuan, he immediately jumped off the wheelbarrow.

Despite being over eighty years old, he was incredibly agile.

He arrived at Lu Jia Huan's side in just a few steps.

"Grandma Chang~~"

"Shh, Lu family brat? You caught that fox, didn't you? Don't make a sound."

"It's because you killed too many animals, you're carrying too much resentment, and it's coming on to your little girl!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiulian gave Lu Weiguo a reproachful look, as if to say, "Fine, I'll let you not go hunting in the mountains!"

However, in front of outsiders, Li Xiulian did not blame them, but hurriedly asked them questions.

"Grandma Chang, what should we do? The child is too young; we can't keep him burning up with fever all the time, or he might become mentally impaired..."

"Yes, let's see if we can bring the fever down quickly..."

Lu Weiguo was about to reply.

Mrs. Chang turned around and glared at him again.

"You're carrying too much malevolent energy, stay away from me. You're offending the spirits within me, and I'll show you how to heal you!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Weiguo nearly fainted.

However, for the sake of the child, Lu Baojia still pulled him to the door.

Next, Mrs. Chang asked Li Xiulian to prepare two large bowls, one filled with millet and covered with a red cloth.

Another bowl was filled with water, and two chopsticks were placed on top of it.

And believe it or not, the chopsticks stood upright in the water without showing any sign of falling over.

Even Mrs. Chang's hands were trembling like a leaf.

Those chopsticks stood up very firmly!

The bowl of millet was even more magical. It was wrapped in a red cloth, turned upside down on Jia Huan's body three times, and when it was opened, a little bit of millet was missing from the middle of the bowl.

After filling it up again and circling it three times, a small hole appeared in the middle of the bowl.

Lu Weiguo had seen this method of healing in his previous life. Back then, he only thought it was fast because there were gaps in the millet grains, and centrifugal force was used to create the holes in the bowl.

But this time, Mrs. Chang was clearly turning things upside down, flipping them over.

The fact that there's a hole in the middle of the bowl is a bit hard to explain.

"Not even three circles in, it's a Gray Fairy. Has your family offended something recently?"

After busying herself for a while, Mrs. Chang glared at Lu Weiguo before slowly speaking.

Lu Weiguo was completely dumbfounded. This was the first time he had ever met Old Mrs. Chang, whether in his previous life or his rebirth.

When did he offend her?

Why do those big, grayish eyes always glare at him?

"what!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiulian screamed!

"Oh my god, Grandma Chang, how did you know! We have two ferrets for our kids to play with, don't we?"

Those things eat meat, and I sometimes can't bear to feed them, so they've been starving. These past few days they've been catching mice all over the house.

And believe it or not, those two little devils have almost caught all the mice in the house!

"That's what I'm talking about." Old Mrs. Chang's eyes were certain, her fingers calculating as if she had everything under control: "You have an old rat in your house, it's almost become an immortal."

Those two minks killed them; it's revenge on your child.

"No way! What, you won't let us catch mice in our homes? Then what's the point of the brigade keeping cats? Why don't they just treat the mice like royalty!"

"Weiguo! Don't talk!" Li Xiulian hurriedly stopped Lu Weiguo when she saw him talking back.

"Grandma Chang, don't be angry. My husband is just a little anxious. What do you suggest? I'll take care of it right now."

When Mrs. Chang saw Lu Weiguo being scolded, she laughed heartily, almost making her dentures pop out.

The silly granddaughter kept grinning foolishly at Lu Weiguo.

Just like when I first met Lu Weiguo.

"Don't be angry, don't be angry. It's all for the child. You don't need to do anything. I'll put in a good word for you at home later."

In just two or three days, once the child develops a rash, it means the spirit has left, and the child's fever will naturally subside.

When Mrs. Chang treats patients with intestinal ailments, she never charges a specific amount of money; she only considers how much the family can afford.

Seeing that she spoke with such certainty that she could make her daughter better, Li Xiulian generously took out two yuan and stuffed it into the hand of her mentally challenged granddaughter.

"Qiu Ling, return the money. We won't charge you this time."

Just as the silly granddaughter was about to put the money in her pocket, Old Mrs. Chang, who was sitting on the wheelbarrow, stopped her.

"Um."

The silly girl named Qiuling was obedient and immediately threw the money to Li Xiulian.

"this....."

"What's going on?"

Li Xiulian was a little at a loss; as a high school student, this was the first time she had experienced something like this.

They say that when you're desperate, you'll try anything, and that's exactly the situation she's in right now.

Lu Weiguo, who had initially thought that Mrs. Chang was swindling him out of money, was now somewhat dumbfounded.

Why is this old lady setting up chopsticks and spinning millet if it's not for money?

The group stared at each other, waiting for Mrs. Chang to sit down.

That's when I asked.

"How should we thank you?"

Lu Dewang then spoke.

"Isn't your youngest son a hunter? Get me some bear gallbladder this year, and this order will be waived."

But I'm buying it! I'll pay whatever the price is!

"Bear bile?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

Is that bear someone that just anyone can fight?

If an ordinary person owed someone a favor and made such a request, they would simply agree.

Even if we can't hit them, we can still talk things out and that's it.

But this is a powerful deity; what if I fail to do it properly, or they might sabotage me...?

"Aunt Chang, look, this is putting people in a difficult position. How about we charge them some money?"

"Let him hit me, what's wrong with him!"

Mrs. Chang snorted coldly.

Lu Weiguo, who had been holding his anger in for so long, finally couldn't hold it in any longer!

He pointed at Old Mrs. Chang's nose and said!

"Fight! It's just a black bear, I'll raid its den tomorrow! But my daughter's fever better soon!! Otherwise, I'll smash your table!"
