I've been reborn, who would still raise a son from another family? Go away

"The witch is still at home and is fine for the time being. Miss Xue'er doesn't have to worry too much." The old doctor said slowly.

But his eyes were full of hope as he looked at Liu Fufeng standing beside him.

Liu Fufeng recalled the recipe he had written down in his mind and said to Doctor Li: "Angelica dahurica, mugwort, houttuynia cordata........."

These were the prescriptions that Liu Fufeng had silently memorized when he was in the border area. The old doctor wrote them down one by one.

At that time, Liu Fufeng just wanted to remember the things, but he didn't remember them all. He touched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "I only remember the names of the herbs, not the grams."

The old doctor thanked Liu Fufeng and said, "It will be much easier if you have some of these things."

He stood up and called the medicine boy out, wrote down the prescription Liu Fufeng had just given him on a piece of rice paper, handed it to the medicine boy, and said to him, "Mix these things together, boil water, and share it with everyone."

Liu Fufeng also propped himself up and tried to get up.

Miss Xueer stepped forward and stretched out her hand to support Liu Fufeng.

His gaze fell lightly on Miss Xue'er's hand that was supporting him, and a strange emotion instantly overflowed in his heart.

"Is there anything else we can help you with?" Liu Fufeng asked as he looked at the busy figure of the old doctor.

The old doctor waved his hands at Liu Fufeng and the others and said, "No need. Good men, take good care of your injuries and don't go near this place."

After saying that, he turned and went into the yard and started to get busy.

Miss Xue'er looked up at Liu Fufeng and said, "Let me help you rest in the carriage."

Liu Fufeng was still running a high fever and was too weak to have much strength. He nodded in agreement, and the two of them slowly walked towards the carriage.

Liu Fufeng fell into a deep sleep until noon.

During this period, Miss Xueer went home to see the witch.

When the witch saw that Miss Xue'er's face looked a little unhappy, she wanted to drive Miss Xue'er away.

Miss Xue'er knelt down in front of the Gu Po and said to her, "Mother, Xue'er knows that you cannot tolerate these things. I was wrong to blame you for my sister's matter."

The Gu woman paused for a moment with her hand raised high, and looked at Miss Xue'er. She hadn't seen Miss Xue'er for many years and she had grown more and more beautiful. Finally, the Gu woman couldn't bear it and put her hand down.

He turned around, no longer paying attention to Miss Xueer, and walked home on his own.

But when she walked to the door, she saw that Miss Xue'er was indifferent, so she sighed and said to her, "You still remember to come back. If it's too late, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to see me again."

Miss Xueer took a step forward and hugged the Gu Po tightly, muttering to her: "Xueer knows she was wrong, so she is back now, isn't she? Is mother okay after coming in?"

The Gu Po felt warm in her heart, and took off Xue'er's veil, revealing a face that looked very similar to Liu Mubai. She raised her hand and placed it on Xue'er's face, stroking it gently, her voice a little hoarse; "You've lost weight, you must have suffered a lot outside these years, right?"

Miss Xueer shook her head with tears in her eyes.

The witch tidied up the loose hair on her forehead and said to her with a choked voice: "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."

As she said that, she was about to pull Miss Xueer inside.

Xue'er took the opportunity to ask about the plague out of curiosity. "Mom, hasn't our village always been isolated from the outside world? How could such a plague suddenly break out?"

Gu Po's expression changed, and she looked at Xue'er and asked, "Did you go to the old doctor?"

Xue'er nodded slightly, and before she could say anything, the witch hurriedly pulled Xue'er outside, lit the mugwort, and started to fumigate her entire body with the smoke.

"Why is this happening, mother?" Xue'er asked in confusion.

The witch glared at Xue'er with a look of disappointment. "The patients that the old doctor is taking care of are the ones with the most serious plague infection. What if you get infected with the disease when you go there? You are my only child."

The witch took the herbal torch and smoked Xue'er thoroughly before extinguishing the mugwort.

The Gu woman took Xue'er's hand, sat in the courtyard, and told her the origin of the plague; "Originally, the village had always been very peaceful. About two months ago, some foreigners suddenly came to the village. They said they had a way to find you, but the prerequisite was that I had to teach them how to cast the Gu."

Xue Er looked anxious when she heard this and asked, "Did you teach me?"

The Gu Po looked at Xue'er's thin face, her eyes full of heartache, and at the same time she lowered her head with some guilt, and said to Xue'er, "At that time, I was worried about you being alone outside. You hadn't come back for so many years, and I had no choice but to worry about you, so I was tempted by their Taoism and taught them some simple Gu techniques."

Xue'er looked guilty after hearing this, but she asked in confusion: "What does this have to do with the plague?"

The witch sighed and said, "Those foreigners are not good people. They want to learn how to cast Gu, so they cast Gu on villagers at will, causing unrest in the village."

"In the end, the villagers were very dissatisfied with those foreigners and wanted to expel them from the village. However, those foreigners did not keep their promises at all. After learning the simple ones, they wanted to learn more powerful Gu-controlling techniques and other Gu from me."

The more the witch spoke, the more ashamed she felt.

Miss Xueer continued to urge anxiously: "What happened next? What happened to cause such a plague to break out?"

The witch recalled and said, "Since they did this, I naturally couldn't teach them those harmful witchcraft. I refused to associate with them, and the villagers resented them and started to drive them away."

"Later, those foreigners were driven out of the village, but they did not leave directly. Instead, they called more foreigners to set up camp near the village. Then the elderly in the village began to have fevers and body aches. Finally, their skin began to ulcerate. The pain tortured them to death."

"At first it was just one or two cases, then it became several cases per household. As the same phenomenon appeared, the neighbors around the infected families also began to show the same symptoms."

"And the situation of those people is that someone in their family left the village and became like that after they came back."

Xue'er listened to the Gu Po carefully, and her expression became tense. "How many people are left alive in the village?"

"Most of them are already dead." The guilt in the witch's heart increased even more.

At this time, Miss Xue'er followed the Gu Po and said, "Mother, there is a General Liu who claims to be from Kyoto. He brought back a prescription that can cure the plague. The old doctor has asked the medicine boy to boil the prescription into water. I will go and get a bowl for you later."

When the Gu Po saw Xue'er mention Liu Fufeng, there was a hint of tenderness in her eyes and eyebrows. She immediately understood Xue'er's little thoughts.
