The Rural Doctor of the Mountain Spirit

  Just as we were getting anxious, a villager suddenly shouted: "Dr. Wu Xian is back!"

  At the sound, we turned our heads to look back, and Wu Xianyi had indeed appeared behind us. However, at this time he was extremely disheveled, covered in blood all over his body. In his hand, he was holding something that looked very strange, like a dipper, with half a dipper of water inside.

  As soon as Wu Xianyi appeared, the crowd suddenly fell silent and made way for him. Wu Xianyi also seemed to be exhausted, he didn't speak to anyone, and walked straight over.

  When Wu Xianyi walked to the side of Er Gou's body, the two candles on the ground had almost burned out. He was not flustered at all, and he fumbled in his backpack again, pulling out a gourd.

  "Although the Second Dog's physical body has died, his yang lifespan is not yet exhausted. Today, I, Wu Guoliang, a brave ghost doctor, request the presence of the four-sided spirits and the ancestral ghost doctor to assist me in reviving him and bringing back his soul."

  Wu Xianyi muttered to himself, one hand holding a dipper and the other holding a gourd. After he finished speaking, he suddenly poured the water in the dipper onto Er Gou's body, then opened the lid of the gourd. And from within the gourd, a stream of cold air actually emerged.

  The people around who witnessed this scene all stared with wide eyes, wanting to see if there was any reaction on Er Gou's body. However, after Wu Xianyi poured the water and opened the gourd lid again, there was no change on Er Gou's body, still the same as before.

  The onlookers suddenly felt a bit disappointed, after all, this person was already dead, how could they still be saved?

  Just as everyone was sighing and whispering to each other, Wu Xianyi didn't care at all, but instead took out a needle and thread. Wu Xianyi worked very seriously, as if he didn't understand the situation at all.

  It was Er Gou's mother who became anxious, she rushed to Er Gou's body and wailed loudly: "Er Gou, how could you leave so early in your life? Your father also left early, what kind of sin has our family committed?"

  The mother of the two dogs was crying loudly, and Wu Xianyi had already threaded his needle and was preparing to sew up the wound on Er Gou's neck. But unexpectedly, Er Gou's mother stopped him: "Wu Xianyi, I know you're very skilled, but this person is already dead, how can you still save him? Don't cheat me anymore, and don't disturb my child's corpse either, let him rest in peace."

  Wu Xianyi took a look at Er Gou's mother, didn't say anything, and continued to sew up Er Gou's neck. Er Gou's mother also didn't continue to stop him, but instead started wailing loudly again.

  He cried for a long time, and the two candles on the ground finally burned out and went out completely.

  Just then, a weak voice came from the direction of Er Gou's body: "Mom, why are you crying?"

  The mother of the two dogs suddenly stopped crying, and he seemed to be in a daze, staring blankly ahead for a while.

  Just then, I saw Er Gou's head move and heard his voice: "Mom, where am I? Why are there so many people?"

  The voice of the second dog was small, but exceptionally clear. Because, just as he spoke, everyone around him covered their mouths, widened their eyes, and had disbelieving expressions on their faces.

  Suddenly, the second dog propped himself up with his hands and climbed up from the door panel. He looked around curiously and asked his mother, "Mother, what's wrong with you all? Why isn't anyone speaking? Today feels strange and weird somehow?"

  "Er Gou..." Er Gou's mother let out a wail again, and she rushed over to hug his body. I saw Er Gou looking puzzled, his face bright red from being hugged by his mother. The people around us also burst into loud sobs at that moment, I don't know if they were moved or just too excited.

  My gaze was also attracted by the second dog, and when I was excitedly shedding tears, Wu Xian's big palm suddenly stretched out: "What are you crying about? Hurry up and pack your things to go home."

  I wiped away the tears that had flowed out of my face unconsciously and stared at Dr. Wu Xian, saying: "How can they cry, but I'm not allowed to?"

  Wu Xian glared at me: "Huh, still talking back? I said no crying, so don't cry."

  Suddenly, Wu Xian's palm slapped me in the face, and my face instantly felt scorching hot.

  Before leaving, Wu Xianyi pulled out the silver needles from Er Gou's body. The whole person was like a wooden stake, seeing the villagers crying uncontrollably, he didn't have any reaction at all.

  He handed me his backpack, kicked me in the butt with one foot and directly kicked me back home. However, although I was beaten by him, at this moment I didn't hate him at all, probably because he saved Erdou's life.

  After arriving home, I also found out that Wu Xianyi was equally exhausted. Before entering the house, he threw me a box of medicine and said coldly: "If you don't want to get rabies in the future, give it to him to eat."

  The days went by, and the next morning, Wu Xianyi also left early. I got up early that day too, before Wu Xianyi had even left the house.

  I found Wu Xianyi to be particularly weak this morning, as if he had aged a lot. His face was very pale and his steps were a bit floating. When he walked past me, I called out to him, wanting to ask if he was okay, but Wu Xianyi turned around and glared at me, and my words immediately got stuck in my throat.

  It was also from that day on that I began to think that Wu Xianyi might be a good person. Because it became like this, even if you use your toes to think about it, it must be because of saving Er Gou last night.

  I had been thinking about Er Gou all along, so I ran to his house early in the morning. As expected, I saw Er Gou jumping around in his house. He seemed completely unaware of what happened yesterday and was eating two bowls of rice with a big bowl.

  His mother, with red and swollen eyes, looked at him beside her, a relieved smile on her face: "Ergou, eat some more, there's still some in the pot."

  As soon as I arrived, Second Dog immediately poured out his grievances to me: "Xiao Sen, can you please persuade my mother for me? I've lost my appetite, but she's forcing me to eat."

  The mother of the two dogs immediately scolded: "What are you talking about? What's called forcing, you've just recovered from illness, of course you need to eat more."

  "Mom, I really can't eat anymore, my stomach is stuffed. Don't make me eat anymore, okay?" Er Gou held his bowl with a look of grievance on his face.

  I took a look at Er Gou's bowl and found it was filled with quite a few eggs and pork. In the countryside, although there are many livestock, people generally don't eat them often, unless it's during Chinese New Year. Today, however, Er Gou's mother had brought out all the good stuff.

  Time flies, half a year has passed.

  In the past six months, I have become thoroughly familiar with everyone in the village and can be considered a small slippery head in the village. Since we encountered Crazy Dog Three half a year ago, Crazy Dog Three has never appeared again, and it is unknown whether he is dead or what happened to him. Wu Xianyi, as usual, gets up early every morning and goes out, only returning at night.

  I'm really curious about Wu Xianyi, who gets up early and returns late every day. Where exactly does he go? Several times I wanted to follow him to take a look, but I restrained myself.

  In the past six months, I haven't done much except help Wu Xian plant a good vegetable garden and raise two pigs for him. Apart from that, every day I'm with Er Gou and the others, sometimes going up the mountain to hunt, sometimes down to the river to catch fish, and my body is gradually getting stronger.

  But half a year later, something happened to Wu Xianyi.

  That morning, Wu Xianyi went out as usual. However, he returned alone by noon. He was walking on the small path between the fields, and from a distance, I could tell it was Wu Xianyi. At that time, I only felt strange and didn't notice anything unusual about his body.

  As Wu Xianyi walked closer, I found him with his head down and blood constantly oozing from his body. Without saying a word, I hastily went up to greet him and anxiously called out "Wu Xianyi". He didn't react at all, his body continued to slowly move forward, his steps somewhat unsteady.

  I followed him in, and saw Wu Xianyi enter the house, walking towards his own room, and then lying directly on the bed. Before he lay down on the bed, I clearly saw that Wu Xianyi's eyes were tightly closed, and he had completely lost all consciousness.

  I walked over and shook Wu Xianyi, but he didn't react at all. He had already fainted.

  Seeing him like this, I was frightened and quickly ran to Er Gou's house, calling Er Gou and his mother. Er Gou's mother, after all, is an adult, has to calm down a lot, he went into the room and checked Wu Xianyi's body, as a result, he turned around and said to me with great disappointment: "Wu Xianyi, I'm afraid he won't make it."
