Chapter 22

: Pulling seedlings to help grow

This is a way to expel the white-headed red fire ant recorded in the notes. The notes say that the white-headed red fire ant is also a dangerous thing. It is best for ordinary people not to contact them. If you find this white-headed red fire ant, you can mix it with lime water and garlic juice to expel it.

Previously, Xie Lin was planning to use this method to drive away the white-headed red fire ants at the door to avoid anyone being harmed. However, later, the white-headed red fire ants suddenly disappeared and the matter was left to nothing.

Mr. Liu brought the quicklime just now, and Xie Lin finally remembered the method to expel the white-headed and red fire ants. Although he didn't know whether this method could be used to treat the strange wound on Aunt Zhang's feet, now he can only do it as a living horse. Let's give it a try.

Moreover, according to the notes, this garlic is also one of the most commonly used things to prevent Gui and relieve Gu. In the past, many people would bring a few garlic with them when they went to Xiangxi where witchcraft was prevalent. Once they encountered suspicious people or suspicious things, they would chew a clove of garlic in their mouths to avoid being accidentally gushed.

It is said that many gu drugs or gu insects hate the smell of garlic very much. Many people who raise gu are both disgusted and liked garlic, because gu people are often afraid of being gued by others, so they should beware of it all the time.

In ancient times, this Gu raised and slapped Gu was always excluded from the 365 elements. It belonged to the alternative, that is, it was not among the regular business students, not among the workers, peasants, soldiers, and scholars, and was one of the eight external qualities.

There are golden dots in the outer eight lines, beggars, loud horses, thieves steal, fight back, walk mountains, lead fire, and collect water, collectively known as the "Five Elements and Three Family". The golden dots are fortune telling lines, the loud horses are robbing lines, and the back-to-to-beat robbers are robbed lines.

However, this statement is not accepted by most people, because there are many overlaps and ambiguities, such as ringing horses, walking on mountains and collecting water, which are actually all robbers.

According to another theory, these eight external abilities generally refer to eight industries, including "thief gate", "gu gate", "mechanical gate", "thousand gates", "orchid gate", "shentuo gate", "red handkerchief" and "shouming gate".

Among them, the most terrifying thing among the eight external abilities is this "Gu Gate".

However, it is said that although this "Gu Sect" is powerful, the number of people in the Gu Sect has been small since then. Even if they have the ability to detect gods and ghosts, they will find it difficult to gain a foothold in the world. It was not until the late Tang Dynasty that the Pai Sect, which was also in Xiangyin, was engulfed by the Gu Sect, that the Gu Sect rushed into the eight ranks of the outer eight.

In the "Gu Gate", this garlic has a strange name, called "crescent jade", or "half-month".

Therefore, Xie Lin decided to try the method of expelling white-headed and red fire ants mentioned in the notes to see if it could cure the strange wounds on Aunt Zhang's feet.

However, when Xie Lin poured the lime water mixed with garlic juice on Aunt Zhang's right instep, Aunt Zhang started to scream again, her whole body trembled violently, her right foot twitched, and her face became very distorted, and she almost fainted.

Xie Lin was shocked and stopped quickly.

Uncle Liu also exclaimed, held Aunt Zhang and asked her how she was doing.

"It hurts so much, why does it hurt so much!" Aunt Zhang shook her head and kept moaning, looking in pain.

Xie Lin and Uncle Liu couldn't help but look at each other.

"Xiao Xie, can this method work?" Uncle Zhang couldn't help but feel a little suspicious and asked.

Xie Linze smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest, I don't know either. I think it's better to take my aunt to the hospital for a look."

Uncle Liu nodded and persuaded Aunt Zhang to come.

However, Aunt Zhang waved her hand and refused to go to the hospital, saying that the hospital now is too scammed, so she didn't go.

Uncle Liu couldn't help but feel a little anxious and shouted: "My wife, how can you avoid the doctor like this? No matter what, go to the hospital for a look!"

Aunt Zhang glared at Mr. Liu, took a long breath, and gritted her teeth and said, "Didn't you take Zhang Lang to the hospital in the morning? What's the result? They didn't even see any disease! Didn't you tell me all this? Did you forget?"

Uncle Liu was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Xie Lin, sighed lightly, smiled bitterly, and felt a little embarrassed.

Xie Lin was also a little helpless.

However, Aunt Zhang waved to Xie Lin at this time, sighed and said, "Xiao Xie, you go ahead. I feel much better now and it doesn't seem to hurt that much."

Xie Lin couldn't help but be surprised. He looked down at Aunt Zhang's right foot, but found that Aunt Zhang's right foot seemed to be swollen more severely, and the skin on the right instep became more transparent, as if it was about to drip out of water.

It seems that the weird injury on Aunt Zhang’s right foot seemed to have become even worse.

Shelin couldn't help but hesitate even more.

"It's okay, Xiao Xie." Aunt Zhang thought that Xie Lin was afraid that he would hurt too much, so he hesitated there, so he comforted him: "How much pain can it hurt? I can persist, so you can try it with your method."

Seeing that Aunt Zhang said this, Xie Lin did not hesitate anymore, nodded, and dripped some lime water on Aunt Zhang's instep.

As soon as the lime water was poured on Aunt Zhang's instep, Aunt Zhang suddenly hissed, took a breath of air conditioning, her eyes widened, her face became extremely painful again, and her right foot trembled sharply, but this time, she gritted her teeth tightly and did not scream.

Xie Lin looked up at Aunt Zhang, after hesitating for a moment, he drank some water on Aunt Zhang's right instep.

This time, Aunt Zhang couldn't help it and screamed in pain again, heart-wrenchingly. Beads of sweat as big as beans on her face rolled down, just like it was raining, and her body was thrusting, and her eyes suddenly turned white, and she almost couldn't breathe and fainted from the pain.

Uncle Liu was also anxious and helped Aunt Zhang and shouted, "Old lady, don't hold on, you'd better go to the hospital. What if you have a few things, what should I do if you ask me!"

As he said that, Mr. Liu was a seven-foot man with tears in his eyes.

Xie Lin also stopped quickly and followed Uncle Liu to persuade Aunt Zhang.

To be honest, he regrets it now. It is almost unfounded to come up with such a bad idea. Now it seems that it is useless.

After all, Aunt Zhang is not an iron man, and she seems to be in such pain that she can't bear it. She waved her hand, lay down on the bed, moaned softly, and said weakly: "I didn't expect it to hurt so much, so let's forget it, think of other ways."

"How could there be any other way?" Mr. Liu was very anxious and stomped his feet and said, "Why are you so stubborn? You don't listen if you ask you to go to the hospital..."

But at this moment, Aunt Zhang suddenly sat up and stared at Mr. Liu.

Uncle Liu was so scared that he jumped away quickly and said nervously: "Okay, okay, if I didn't say anything, you're angry..."

"No, who is angry with you..." Aunt Zhang gave Uncle Liu a blank look and looked down at his left foot, "Why doesn't my foot hurt so much now..."

Xie Lin and Uncle Liu were stunned and quickly looked at Aunt Zhang's right foot.

They found that Aunt Zhang's right instep seemed to have really swelled a little. Although it was not very obvious, it could hardly be seen.

However, the white spots on the instep seemed to have become bigger, although not very obvious.

But no matter what, Aunt Zhang said that it doesn't hurt so much now, and it should be a good thing.

Aunt Zhang, who was originally a little disappointed, also regained her confidence and urged Xie Lin to continue.

Although Uncle Liu was surprised, he didn't stop him anymore and nodded to Xie Lin.

Xie Lin dripped some water on Aunt Zhang's instep.

However, when the lime water mixed with garlic juice poured on Aunt Zhang's right instep, Aunt Zhang still felt very painful. She could barely hold it back the first time, but the second time, she almost fainted from the pain.

But soon, the pain will be relieved a lot.

After Aunt Zhang took a break for a while, she finally breathed, and Xie Lin continued to pour some lime water on her feet.

After repeated this, the swelling on Aunt Zhang's right instep slowly subsided, and the color turned redder again. However, the pain became lighter and lighter. Only when the lime water was poured on, it would still hurt severely.

However, what surprised Schelling and the others was that the white spots on the skin of the instep were getting bigger and bigger, as if they were growing slowly.

At first, Xie Lin and the others suspected that it was because the insteps of their feet had decreased and looked much smaller, so the white spots seemed to be getting bigger. However, after more than an hour, the white spots, which were originally the size of rice grains, actually increased to soybeans.

At this time, Aunt Zhang's instep had almost completely reduced the swelling.

The white dots as big as soybeans also seemed very abrupt. Because Aunt Zhang's insteps were swollen and her skin tightened, the white dots were also obviously protruding outside, with only a little bit sticking to the skin of the insteps, like fruits hanging on a tree.

Aunt Zhang touched these white dots or white balls by herself, but she didn't feel anything. It seemed that this thing didn't grow on her.

However, when Schelling poured lime water on it, it hurt a lot.

Aunt Zhang didn't dare to move these white spots casually, so she just asked Xie Lin to continue to pour lime water on his feet.

After a while, the white balls that had grown to half the size of a small fingernail suddenly started to move themselves, trembling gently there.

After trembling for a while, these white balls fell off Aunt Zhang’s instep and fell to the ground like ripe fruits.

But after another trembling slight on the ground, the white balls stopped moving.

Uncle Liu took the scissors and carefully cut a white ball open, but found that the white ball was hollow, which was very similar to the silkworm cocoon.

Inside the white ball, there was a translucent fleshy big white ant curled up.
