Ye Gui's Four Distinguishing Skeleton
On Wax Section: Tie Chariot Zuo Ming Thirteen Right Ming Sixteen
After walking out of the dungeon, Ye Gui's eyes were stung and he almost fell to the ground.
After staying in there for a few days, although he had not been tortured, Ye Gui's body was extremely weak. He reluctantly walked to the roadside and wanted to sit down and rest, but unexpectedly, he couldn't catch a breath. At this time, the fortune-teller Mr Lee appeared out of nowhere and helped Ye Gui up. He brought Ye Gui to the inn and had the waiter pass him a bowl of water to drink.
The water that Ye Gui drank in the cell was muddy and dirty, but he was much luckier than the doctor. When the doctor passed the piece of human skin to Ye Gui, Ye Gui saw that his face had already darkened to the point of becoming flesh, and he was already considered dead in terms of medical skills. It seemed that the hidden medicine was only to entrust a person's skin to find Huang Chang's descendant. After giving out the instructions, his life would be at an end.
Ye Gui drank the water, the Mr Lee ordered another plate of pastries and Ye Gui ate it. Ye Gui stuffed his stomach, remembered the experiences of a hidden doctor, and couldn't help but sigh.
Mr Lee looked at Ye Gui as he shook his head and laughed, "You just escaped from prison, why are you still looking so worried?"
Ye Gui ignored him, and only sighed.
The Mr Lee said to Ye Gui: "You are still young, your fate is many. A man who has been able to accomplish great things since the ancient times, is just too unfortunate."
Ye Gui said: "I am thinking about a fellow prisoner in the prison. His fate is much more rough than mine."
"Mr Lee looked at the mature Ye Gui," You will definitely become great in the future, I hope that you will not forget this old friend of mine after you have matured. "
Ye Gui said: "I will not be able to sustain my three meals, in the future I will definitely not forget your kindness." With that, he said his goodbyes and left.
Ye Gui was indeed a person who appreciated favors. He knew that the Xue Family was a family that specialized in medicine in Suzhou City. But unlike the Ye Family, the Xue Family was far more famous. In the Xue Clan's courtyard, there was a green wall. The Ye Family was in dire straits, so the two families did not have much contact with each other.
Ye Gui had been hanging around the Xue Family's doorstep for a long time, and had not dared to let the Xue Family's servants report him. He stood hesitating in front of Shay's house. Suddenly, a young man wearing fresh clothes walked out from the door, and upon seeing Ye Gui's skinny face, he asked Ye Gui: "You're here to seek treatment? "Why don't you go in?"
Before Ye Gui could answer, the young man said again, "Looks like he's quite ill."
Ye Gui was flabbergasted, he did not know what disease he had.
"The disease of the poor." The young man looked to be older than Ye Gui by a few years, he should be around twenty years old, but he spoke in a harsh tone, "This disease is not easy to treat." Then he laughed.
Ye Gui more or less understood that this youth should be the nephew of the Xue Clan, or perhaps the descendant of Doctor Xue. Ye Gui could not tell that this youth was joking with him, and only bowed respectfully to this youth, "This one is Ye Gui, please tell me, thank you, Doctor Xue, for saving my life."
The young man stared at Ye Gui for a long time, "You have never come to seek treatment, why thank you?"
"I will definitely repay you in the future," Ye Gui had already finished speaking, and turned to leave, "Goodbye."
The young man who left the Xue Clan behind was baffled.
When Ye Gui returned home, his family was already in ruins. They could only guard a dilapidated house. Ye Gui lied on the simple bunk. Compared to the prison, he was like heaven and earth. Ye Gui thought back to the prison and recalled the Golden Finger that the hidden doctor mentioned. He smiled bitterly in his heart, could it be that there really was such a thing as a medical skill that did not need any medicine, acupuncture, or medicine at all? If there really was such a doctor, it wouldn't be any different from the Mr Lee.
Ye Gui's imagination ran wild as he slowly fell asleep. He slept until midnight, when he suddenly felt raindrops above his head, only then did he realize that it was already raining. The roof was leaking raindrops all over the place.
Ye Gui was already used to it, so he didn't mind it at all as he curled up at the foot of the bed to avoid the rain and continued sleeping. However, in his dreams, he had a vague feeling that there was someone in the room. Ye Gui heard the rumbling of thunder in the sky and the heavy rain. He could not help but feel restless and agitated.
Suddenly, a huge flash of lightning illuminated the room, followed by a loud thunderclap. Ye Gui was stupefied. He realized that what he felt just now was right, the house was filled with people, and these people all had their heads lowered, unable to see their faces.
After such a short period of time, the room was once again plunged into darkness. Ye Gui was extremely afraid, the house was suddenly filled with people, and the sounds of rain falling outside were so loud that it sounded like beans hitting the roof, he could not hear any of them breathing or making any sounds at all.
However, Ye Gui could still sense that these figures were standing right beside the bed, very close to him. Another series of explosions of thunder sounded, but there was no lightning. Ye Gui was still trapped in darkness, amidst the rain and the intermittent sounds of thunder, he could clearly hear his own chest beating loudly.
In his terror, Ye Gui endured until the chickens crowed, and then, the sky slowly brightened. The heavy rain stopped. Ye Gui saw that inside the house, other than the ground being covered with rainwater stains, there were no footprints at all. The doors and windows were also bolted.
Ye Gui was sure that he was not a nightmare the previous night. He had personally witnessed those figures, but he was unable to explain it himself. After thinking about it, he could only find the Mr Lee to find out what happened.
Ye Gui walked to the side of the bridge where the Mr Lee was telling his fortune, and saw that the Mr Lee was entangled with a person, that person was a old woman, and was begging the Mr Lee non-stop. But Mr Lee kept shaking his head. A tall young man stood at the side beside old woman, watching them pester without saying a word.
Ye Gui walked closer, and heard the Mr Lee decline: "I am only a fortune-teller, trying to exorcise evil spirits, you have to go to the temple to find monks and Taoists."
old woman was still unwilling, she insisted on going to Mr Lee's house. Seeing that Mr Lee was adamant on going, she kneeled in front of him.
Ye Gui could not bear to watch and approached Mr Lee to ask what was going on.
Mr Lee and old woman both stopped talking at the same time with an awkward expression. When old woman saw that someone else came, he could no longer plead with Mr Lee. He only said, "When Mr Lee has time, I will come and invite you to come." Then he left while trembling. The tall young man also quietly followed old woman to the bottom of the bridge, and followed him onto the barge. The old woman shook the barge, but the tall young man stood on the bow of the barge, and the barge slowly rowed away.
Ye Gui looked at the Black Turtle Ship in the distance, then asked the Mr Lee what the situation was.
Mr Lee said after a long time, "I can't let you know about this.
Ye Gui was curious, he looked at the faraway wicker boat and asked Mr Lee: "What's going on? Is the person beside her his son or his grandson?"
"Did you see wrongly?" Mr Lee said in shock, "How could this old lady have any sons or grandsons?"
"Didn't you just follow the old lady and stand beside her?" Ye Gui said, "In front of you, how could you not see?"
After Ye Gui finished speaking, he immediately understood something, because he saw that Mr Lee was sweating profusely and his face was pale white, he had been scared silly.
"You really didn't see it." Ye Gui continued, "I was still blind."
Mr Lee wiped his sweat, "It looks like I really have to tell you, this old lady is here to find me to drive a ghost."
"You're a fortune-teller, how could you have the ability to drive ghosts away?" Ye Gui laughed.
"It's fine to drive out ghosts, but this is not the case." Mr Lee said, "This old lady is a farmer who lives outside the city. A few years ago, her family members all died from the plague, with only one granddaughter. I went to her house a few days ago. You were still in the county jail at the time. Her granddaughter was pregnant. She had been pregnant for several months and was about to have a baby. What the heck do you think I should do to drive it away, and what the heck am I supposed to do to suppress it? "
Ye Gui was curious, "Her granddaughter is going to give birth to a child, what are you hiding for?"
"Her granddaughter is seventeen years old, she hasn't betrothed anyone to her, nor is she a burden, and she's got a big stomach," Mr Lee said, "Isn't it shameful if this gets out?"
Ye Gui thought for a while, "My stomach is too big, maybe I've grown pustules, and isn't pregnant at all."
"But this sort of thing," the Mr Lee said, "I can't intervene."
Ye Gui thought for a while, then said to Mr Lee: "I'll go with that old lady tomorrow, maybe her granddaughter has something in her stomach, and will be worried about this matter."
"She won't let you cure her," the Mr Lee said. "You said that there's a young man standing next to the old lady. Can you clearly see his face? I heard that ghosts can't see his face?"
Ye Gui recalled for a while, "I really didn't notice that person's appearance. But it feels like a young man. "
Mr Lee said, "I really only saw the old lady alone!"
Ye Gui said: "If her granddaughter really has something in her stomach, then we can't delay any longer. I'll go take a look."
The Mr Lee told Ye Gui that the old woman lived at a place four miles south of the city. He had his own residence, and there was a locust tree at the entrance.
Ye Gui followed Mr Lee's instructions and went ahead. When they arrived at the outskirts of the city, they found that the southern part of the city was filled with water. Travelling by boat would involve interweaving rivers. On the contrary, the land would need to make a huge detour to reach the city. So when Ye Gui arrived at the place Mr Lee talked about, he indeed saw a great locust tree. In front of the great locust tree was a ditch, and the ebony boat was tied to the locust tree.
