It was really scary to see myself bleeding and not daring to move.
Gritting her teeth and persisting until 12:15, Guicao Po unscrewed the glass bottle she brought from the Miao village and added some yellow-white powder to the water.
She stirred it a few times with her fingers, letting the powder dissolve into the blood.
It was at this time that I suddenly felt numbness on the sole of my foot, which was a little itchy and painful.
I think about how to describe this feeling...
Have you ever had a fish spa?
It's the kind where a group of small fish will bite you in the foot soaking pool. I heard that the small fish eat the dead cuticles of the skin, which will cause a little pain, a little itchiness, and numbness.
I persisted until 12:30, the ice water had turned deep red, and Guicao Po signaled that I could do it.
I hurriedly took out my feet, but after soaking them in, I couldn't stand it any longer.
I couldn't find a footcloth, so I wiped it with Lao Qian's daughter's pillowcloth. After wiping my feet, I turned the pillowcloth over and put it away. Don't worry, I will tell others.
At this time, Guicao Po looked at me and pointed two fingers at me.
I said grandma, what do you mean?
She made another smoking gesture.
"Hey, so you want to smoke,"
I took out a piece of white sand and handed it to her, and used a lighter to light it for her.
Ghost Grass Woman took a deep breath and slowly exhaled the smoke. The expression on her face seemed to be very helpful.
Holding a cigarette in her mouth, she bent down, picked up the basin, and walked straight to the door, with me following closely behind her.
"Brother Feng, are you okay? You don't look good," Xiaomi said.
I said it was strange that my face looked good, as I had just been given a basin of blood.
Ghost Grass Woman lit a fire outside the house, then placed a basin filled with blood and water on the fire to burn, and raised the bottom of the basin with stones.
She took out another stack of papers from her bag and threw them all into the fire.
The fire surged instantly.
The flames can reach more than one meter in height.
The fire reflected the human face, and Guicaopo was kneeling on the ground, muttering some kind of Miao language quickly, which she couldn't understand.
Master Wu said: "I understand now. Alan has done it before."
I asked what this meant and why it was like chanting a mantra. It was useless.
Mr. Wu said that it was indeed useless, but this kind of Miao curse was a set of forms passed down from the Miao village. It was just like burning incense and worshiping gods during festivals. It was of no use, but many people did it.
The water in the basin began to steam upwards and gradually boiled.
Mr. Wu told me some of what he knew. I guess what he knew was what Grandma Alan told him.
This is a way to get rid of the poison. If anyone feels that he has been poisoned in the future, he can try it. It can be used without even saying it.
Jiangsu TV Classic Legend has previously filmed two episodes in a Miao village. The people in that village were all named Ma, and a folklore expert and a doctor were also filmed with them.
The reporter interviewed several villagers in Mazhai Village and inquired about issues related to removing poison from poison.
A villager told reporters: "There is a Gu Po in our village. No one dares to go near the stilt building where the Gu Po lives. If you want to go, I can show you the way, but I advise you not to go."
The reporter asked why.
The villager said: "Because if the poison is not released for a day, the whole body will feel uncomfortable, and if the poison is not removed, the body will be suffocated. Only by releasing the poison can the mother-in-law feel better."
The villager continued: "The Gu Po's poison can be on people, plants, rocks, pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep. If it infects a living person, the Poison Gu can stay comfortable for three years, and it can infect pigs."
It can be comfortable on cows for three months, and on dead animals for three days, so don't go there. If you go, don't touch the flowers, plants, trees, including stones near Granny Gu's house."
Upon hearing this, the expert doctor who was following the film crew immediately shook his head and said it was impossible, there was no poison at all.
A group of people went to the stilt building where Po Gu lived, but something happened that night.
When the reporter carrying the camera was sleeping at night, he suddenly suffered from a severe stomachache. He took medicine but the pain did not go away. The pain lasted until the next morning and suddenly disappeared. At that time, the reporter's face turned sallow, his joints ached, and he was unable to walk.
The villagers looked at it and said, "You have been poisoned. Go to the neighboring village. There are white seedlings in the neighboring village that can help you get rid of the poison."
The group of people rushed to the neighboring village.
I found a Bai Miao who knew how to cure poison. The Bai Miao boiled a basin of water and sang some unintelligible spells while burning paper. The reporter drank the water in the basin and slept all night. The next day, his whole complexion changed.
Okay, back to normal.
.....
At around 1 o'clock in the evening, blood water was boiled in front of Lao Qian's house. Guicaopo poured another unknown medicinal powder into the boiling water. She scooped some out with a cup and motioned for me to drink it.
Speaking of which, this was my own foot-washing water. I hesitated for a few minutes before drinking it.
The water has a fishy smell after entering the throat, and you can also taste the smell of herbs.
After drinking the water, Guicao Po asked me to go back to sleep. Others also went to rest. Master Wu told me that it was not finished yet. This was the first step. Once the first step was completed, the rest would be relatively simple.
It's strange to say that I didn't feel sleepy even if I didn't sleep for the past two days. After drinking the water, I suddenly felt sleepy. My eyelids swollen so badly that I lay on the sofa and fell into a deep sleep.
I still felt very sleepy after waking up in the morning. I slept until the afternoon and didn't even get up to eat lunch.
I opened my eyes again at about four o'clock in the afternoon, and most of the sleepiness had disappeared. At this time, Xiaomi came to me and said: "Brother Feng, you're awake, it's scary. Did you see the water in the basin yesterday?"
, you go and have a look."
After Xiaomi and I came out, we saw the washbasin. The dark red water in the basin had frozen last night. The ice cubes had not completely disappeared after being exposed to the sun all morning. There were a few pieces floating on the water, which looked a little disgusting.
"What happened to the water? Isn't it the same as yesterday?" I asked.
Xiaomi said Brother Feng, please pick it up and take a closer look.
"pick up?"
I picked up a small piece of ice from the basin and looked at the sun.
When I looked at the light like this, my scalp went numb and goosebumps appeared on my back.
The ice cubes are densely packed with yellow dots, smaller than yellow millet, and are connected in large pieces, like rice cakes.
I was so frightened that my hand slipped and the ice cube fell to the ground and shattered.
Judging from Xiaomi's appearance, she is more scared than me.
The words came to my mouth but I held them back. What I wanted to say was: "Thank you so much, Xiaomi. Thank you for your big dumplings. I was full of rice worms after eating your dumplings and almost sent them away."
Lao Qian's family was too young to live in, so Mr. Wu took Lao Jinmiao Guicao Po to stay in a hotel. I went to the hotel to find them and told them the situation.
After listening to Guicao Po's words, Master Wu translated: "If you want to kill all the insects, kid, from today on, you have to eat more salt, eat as much salt as you can, and drink more hot water. In addition, you
You need to eat at least one meal of ji (ji) vegetables every day. We brought some ji (ji) vegetables when we came here and will give them to you later. Just keep it like this for ten days and you will be fine."
I nodded and said yes, I will listen to you, Mr. Wu.
"Master Wu, come here, I have something to tell you." I called him aside.
"What's up?"
I asked Xiaomi what to do.
When I asked about Xiaomi, Mr. Wu asked: "Is that child a girl?"
I said yes, she is just a tomboy.
Mr. Wu added: "The child is not poisoned. If so, Lady Guicao can tell."
As he spoke, he glanced at Xiaomi over there.
"Listen to me."
Mr. Wu suddenly approached me and whispered: "Gui Cao Po didn't notice it because she didn't have Gu. After we left here last night, Lao Jinmiao told me that the child might have a big problem. That child..."
