"Haha, how do you distinguish your homes? I think your houses here all look the same." Ye Haoxuan said with a smile.
"You don't need to deliberately recognize your own home. The familiar feeling is unmistakable. Do you think it is Huihui?" Yuan Xin said with a smile.
"Yes, you can't go wrong with the familiar feeling of your own home." Huihui smiled sweetly. She hesitated and asked: "Huihui said, you are a doctor?"
"Yes, I am a doctor." Ye Haoxuan smiled.
"Are you very skilled in medicine?" Huihui asked again.
"It's not bad." Ye Haoxuan nodded again.
"Oh..." Huihui wanted to say something, but she seemed to hesitate.
"What's the matter with you?" Ye Haoxuan felt that this little girl must have something to say to him.
"No...it's okay." Huihui shook her head quickly. She quickly led the way and greeted the neighbors in the village warmly.
"Isn't it difficult to understand a girl's mind?" Yuan Xin said with a smile.
"It's indeed difficult to understand. This little girl obviously had something to say to me, but why didn't she say it?" Ye Haoxuan shook his head.
"She does want to ask you for help with something, but because there are rules here, the host cannot speak to the guests at will, so this little girl hesitates to speak." Yuan Xin said.
"So that's it." Ye Haoxuan nodded and said, "The folk customs here are very good."
"Yes, it is much better than many places in our real society." Yuan Xin nodded slightly. At least they are very polite.
"Hui Hui, what delicious food did your mother make for me to eat?" Ye Haoxuan said with a smile.
"Many, many." Huihui thought for a moment and then said, "Anyway, you will know when you arrive. My mother is the best cook in our village."
"Haha, are we having a good time today?" Yuan Xin said with a smile.
This is also the custom here. Normally when guests come to the village, the family with the best cooking in the village will warmly invite the guests to dinner. Huihui’s family was the first to invite them today, so what she said is true.
.
They didn't walk long before they arrived at Hui Hui's house. The buildings in Kongqueping Village were so similar that if Ye Haoxuan were to stay here at night, he would definitely touch the wrong door. Fortunately, the Witch's Mansion where they lived,
It is in the center of the village, and it is different from the buildings here.
"Welcome to the witch master." As soon as he entered the door, a middle-aged woman folded her hands on her chest and gave a salute to Yuan Xin. She smiled slightly and said: "Our family is honored. The arrival of the witch master will definitely bring happiness to our family."
Give us family happiness."
"You're welcome." Yuan Xin smiled. To be honest, she didn't like this kind of cumbersome etiquette, but there was nothing that could be done about it, because this village had always retained the most original and traditional things, so they were stubborn.
They believe that the witch master can communicate with the soul of the ancient witch and is a demigod, so they are very respectful to Yuanxin, who is about to become a witch.
"Both of you, please take a seat. You are also welcome." The woman smiled at Ye Haoxuan.
"Thank you for the hospitality." Ye Haoxuan smiled and nodded, and then sat down with Xinyu.
The dishes on the table are very rich. It can be seen that the hostess of this family has a unique way of cooking. The dishes on the table are full of color, fragrance and flavor, and each dish is very unique.
There are dry pot rabbit meat, white phoenix soup, pheasant stewed with mushrooms, braised pork and so on.
Moreover, this village is basically isolated from the world and has little contact with people from the outside world. Their ancestors have basically not left the nearby mountains for hundreds of miles. Everything is very primitive and natural.
Most of these things are game caught from the mountains, and because of the unique conditions here, the game here is very plump. The tender game and the hostess's superb cooking skills can make people eat it.
He almost swallowed his own tongue.
"I'm really sorry. Huihui's father seldom goes out recently, so there is nothing at home." The woman said apologetically.
"It doesn't matter, it's already very rich. Haha, if these delicious food were put in our place and placed in a high-end hotel, I'm afraid it would be worth half a year's salary of an ordinary person." Ye Haoxuan said with a smile.
"You're welcome, you're really welcome, please use it." The woman said with a smile.
"This soup is good, what kind of soup is it?" Yuan Xin said after serving Bai Feng soup all night.
"This is Bai Feng Tang. It is made from wild pigeons in the mountains. It is mixed with ginseng, angelica, lily and other things. It is best for women." The woman smiled.
"Haha, Dr. Ye, I feel that the food here is comparable to your health food restaurant." Yuan Xin said with a smile.
"I also think it's very unique." Ye Haoxuan picked up a piece of braised wild boar and put it in his mouth. It was fat but not greasy, and the meat was lean and tender. It didn't have the woody texture of pork at all, and it tasted oily in the mouth.
At this moment, a man wearing ethnic minority clothes walked in. He looked a little bad. When he walked, one foot was deep and the other was light, and his face was slightly pale.
"I'm really sorry, Lord Witch. I'm feeling a little sick, so I haven't gone out recently. Today's meal is a bit rough. I hope Lord Witch doesn't mind." The man said apologetically.
"It doesn't matter, it really doesn't matter. Let's sit down and eat together." Yuan Xin quickly stood up.
"No, no, I'm not feeling well. I'm here to offer a glass of wine to our guests from afar." The man waved his hands repeatedly. The rules here are relatively traditional. They think it is very impolite to come to eat with guests when you are sick.
Because if you are ill, it means that your fortune is not very good. If you eat with guests, you will bring this bad luck to the guests.
"You really don't have to be so polite." Ye Haoxuan smiled.
"No, this is our rule." The man said seriously: "I am Huihui's father, welcome to you."
"Thank you..." Ye Haoxuan nodded. He saw that the man's condition may have been going on for a long time. Although it was not too serious, if it continued without treatment, it would definitely not be easy for him to recover.
While she was talking, Huihui's mother had brought a brown porcelain bottle. After opening the porcelain bottle, a burst of wine aroma hit her nostrils.
This is a flower wine brewed by the villagers, and it is generally used to entertain guests. It has been around for some years. The aroma of the wine is very strong, and it does not cut your throat at all when you drink it. It is a rare good wine.
After finishing several large bowls in a row, the man asked Ye Haoxuan to sit down, and he turned around to leave.
"Your illness has been going on for a long time, right?" Ye Haoxuan frowned, because he could see that the man's illness had been delayed for too long, and if it continued like this, it would become more serious.
This place is different from other places, because this village is almost isolated from the world. The family's livelihood depends entirely on one man, who usually works in the fields, and then goes hunting in the mountains during the off-season, while the women sew and mend at home.
A standard life of men farming and women weaving.
If this man's health really breaks down, it will be very difficult for the family in the future.
"This...it doesn't matter. We already have a witch master. After a few days, the witch master will inherit the bloodline of the previous witch maiden and inherit the blood of the ancient witch. We will all be fine." The man was stunned, then smiled.
"Your illness can't be delayed any longer. There's still some time until February, and you won't even be able to participate in this ceremony." Yuan Xin stood up and said, "He is a doctor, and his medical skills are very good. Let him
Let me help you take a look."
"Then...well, thank you. I'm really sorry to trouble you." The couple quickly thanked them.
"Your situation is a symptom of wind-heat attacking the surface. Of course, this is said in traditional Chinese medicine. The main cause of the symptoms is that the evil heat invades the surface and the Wei Qi is depressed, so you have fever and aversion to cold. Have you been recurring?
Fever, slight aversion to wind and cold, followed by headache and dry mouth?" Ye Haoxuan asked.
"Yes, I've been having this kind of symptom recently." The man nodded repeatedly.
"The illness is not serious, but if you continue to drag it on, it will become a serious illness. It is not difficult to treat it. It is pungent and cool to relieve the symptoms, and some Yinqiao color is added. Bamboo leaves are boiled in water and drank. I am using acupuncture for you.
Under normal circumstances, it will be cured in half a day." Ye Haoxuan said as he took out the golden needle and started acupuncture for the man.
After a while, Ye Haoxuan withdrew the golden needle. The man felt refreshed. He moved his body a little and said in surprise: "I feel much better, really much better."
"Haha, you still need to drink the medicine. Don't you have a Miao doctor here?" Ye Haoxuan asked.
"In the past, Narcissus Witch Lord was a Miao doctor. Although she was young, she had superb medical skills. But last year she got a serious illness. She passed the position of witch to her apprentice Xinyu, and then the master and apprentice seemed to be
Something happened down the mountain, but who would have thought that the life candle of both of them would be extinguished."
In the witch clan, every witch has his own unique natal candle. If the natal candle is extinguished, it means that the witch has encountered something unexpected. Once Xinyu's natal candle is extinguished, it means that the previous and new witches
They all died, which caused a period of panic in the local area.
Because the inheritance of witchcraft is passed down by blood. If the witch dies without appointing a new candidate, then it cannot be passed down by blood, and the inheritance of witchcraft will be cut off. The existence of the village is the ancient great witch of Yanwei.
The last bit of incense burns out. Is it still necessary for the village to exist if the incense burns out?
Fortunately, the appearance of Yuan Xin alleviated the panic in these people's hearts. Only then did they realize that the great witch had never given up on them, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
"There are very few people in our village who are sick. Even if they are, usually they will be fine the next day if they go to the tribe's place to kill pigs as a memorial. However, just half a year ago, there seem to be more people who are sick. They are usually in good health."
People will get typhoid fever from time to time, and it’s useless no matter how they pay tribute." Huihui’s mother sighed. ps: Please follow my Sina Weibo "Author's Thoughts"
