Chapter 52: Ambitious

In the middle of the night, the two were worried about something. They kept staring at the door intentionally or unintentionally, and suddenly their heads popped out, almost not scared.
Chao Xi almost watched the two men run away without looking back, running and shouting, haunted, haunted.
She came out of the house with the quilt in her hand, blinking a little innocent.
In fact, I wanted to comfort them. They were too courageous and needed people to be bold, but they would be self-defeating.
Chao Xi had a big heart and didn't take it seriously. She went into the house and continued to spread her quilt. She was originally placed on the carriage, with one bed on top and one bed on the top of the carriage. It just adapted to this weather. It has been raining for the past two days, and it’s a bit humid. After a lot of drying, it smells like the sun.
There was a broken one in the bed room. It was originally placed in the grocery room. There were a lot of messy things on it. The bed collapsed a bit. Chao Xi moved the things out. The bed was repaired, making it easy to sleep.
There is no requirement for life, so it is already very satisfying.
A person doesn't need a light, just moved here and has nothing to do, so he just lay on the bed and pretended to read.
Some medical books need to be turned over from time to time for fear of forgetting.
Just halfway through the sight, I suddenly heard the hustle and bustle of the door. It seemed that there were people gathering. The fire light leaked in from the cracks in the door from time to time. There were quite a few people.
Chao Xi lifted the quilt down, kicked her shoes out, just walked into the yard, and rushed to the front of many people, all of them looked bad, holding torches in their hands, as if they would set her on fire if they didn't agree.
Chao Xi's complexion is not good, she is the kind that you treat me well, I will treat you twice, but if you treat me badly, I will treat you twice as bad. Whoever gives her a face, she gives her too .
"Who are you looking for? The owner of this house is dead."
When she first came in, there were still unburned paper money in the house, which was arbitrarily spilled on the corner, and it took a long time to clean it.
"I just moved in, your new neighbor."
Those people hushed their faces. Few people believed that in the middle of the night, Chao Xi had a book in her hand, but there was no light. The room was dark and lacquered, and there was not enough light in the yard. She couldn't see her face clearly, and she wore a dress. White clothes, disheveled hair, how weird it looks.
I heard that the woman who lived here ten years ago was dressed in white and died suddenly. There was no preparation at all. The funeral was done by them. You have a copper plate and I have two. Fortunately, there are so many students in the school, so they just got together. Come out and barely bury her.
Could it be that he did not live well underground and came back?
"Monster, you are all dead, do you even have to come back?" It took a long time for a male master to stand up and sprinkle a yellow talisman on Chaoxi.
The yellow talisman in the sky was blown by the wind, just avoiding Chao Xi and heading towards the ground she had just plowed.
"No, this woman walks too deeply!" A few people quickly formed a group, "Let's be yang, don't be afraid of her."
When I came here, I brought all male students, the kind who were strong and sturdy.
Chao Xi realized it later, and these people regarded her as a ghost, "I am not a ghost, touch it and see, my hands are warm."
Some hesitated, and some still doubted. A student tried it for a while and reached out to touch Chao Xi's hand. Before he passed, he was caught by the master who had just thrown a talisman. "Be careful of traps, ghosts are very cunning."
Chao Xi was angry, "I did a day's work during the day and I was very tired. Now I just want to rest. If you don't touch me, I want to touch you."
The word ‘touch’ is very intriguing, "How to touch?"
Chao Xi put the book aside first, rolled up his sleeves, held together, and pointed straight at one person. The person instinctively fought back, and the two of them fought together. In an instant, Chao Xi hit his chest, painful He took a breath, covered the sore spot and fell down. Others came to help, but for a moment, they were all hit and fell.
"Understand now?"
Chao Xi explained, "Ghosts have no entities, I have them, and I have shadows."
She knelt down and picked up the torch that fell on the ground, followed her hand and showed it to everyone.
There was indeed a shadow behind her, swaying with the torch that turned back and forth.
"Are you sure I am a human now?"
In fact, she was very curious, "Why treat me as a ghost?"
This is a long story. About ten years ago, this house was actually allocated to a female master in the Shuyuan, because it was the only female master. The garden was full of male masters, so it was not convenient to live together and there was no placement. There is no other way but to let her live next door.
Unexpectedly, the female master fell ill and died. I don't know if the grievance was too serious, and the two male masters who moved in later also died.
The masters live in the same courtyard, which is somewhat inconvenient. Many people actually prefer this kind of independent courtyard. They rushed to live in, but they all died inexplicably.
And they all have the same disease, exactly the same as the female master, which is very strange. Later, it was rumored that it was unlucky here. The female master had been resentful for a long time before she died and became a ghost. Whoever lives will die and whoever will get sick.
Later, Shuyuan sealed it up, but there were still homeless people who were not afraid of death. They fell ill soon afterwards. They had to crawl out before dying. They didn’t dare to die in the house for fear of being wiped out by the
ghost
. Not even the soul let go.
Because it was so vivid and vivid, as if everyone had seen it with their own eyes, people in Beijing soon heard the story of this house, and even if they had nowhere to go, they would not live in. So when they heard the movement at first sight, some people saw it 'Everyone naturally did not hesitate to suspect that Chao Xi was a ghost.
"That's it." I didn't dare to sit in the house. Everyone squatted in the courtyard. There was a wooden stake and a few small benches, huddled together to chat, "I think it may not be a ghost, but the female master has an infectious disease. ."
As soon as Chao Xi arrived, he discovered that some rare worms had grown in the corner. These worms had bitten people. Perhaps they had bitten the female master and sucked her blood. That kind of infectious disease lurked in the worm's body, and some people lived there. , Bite again and infect people, so the people who stayed in later got sick and died one by one.
She knows that this kind of insects are hard to die. Many people's illnesses will not kill them, but will lurch in them. So if the poison was poisoned to death in the morning, it was just easy. Although not afraid, it is very troublesome to get it. You need to drink the medicine and become weak. For a few days, I was observing what kind of disease I had. It took time not to mention that she was so poor and inconvenient to get the disease, and she had no money to get medicine.
Chao Xi used to deliberately let herself suffer from the same disease as the patient, so as to facilitate observation and experimentation. Of course, when the conditions are sufficient, even eating and drinking is a problem now, and she will never do such a foolish thing.
"That kind of insects have all been poisoned to death by me, and the furniture and entrances used by the lady master have been cooked by me with herbs. No one will get this kind of disease in the future." But there is a problem, "this Can the house be rented to me for a period of time? I can help you with some work. In the future, if some of you are sick, you can also come to me, and I will treat you for free."
After all, this house belongs to the Shuyuan. Although they don't want it, strictly speaking, they dare not live in it. If they can live in it, it is naturally impossible to give it to her. Chao Xi feels that it is necessary to discuss conditions with others.
There is no money, only physical strength and medical skills.
"Miss Chao Xi, are you sure you can live?" After a long chat, everyone had known each other's names.
Chao Xi nodded, "I am a doctor myself, and I have not encountered it before. Anyway, you will see that kind of bug and run away quickly. Don't be bitten by it. There are hundreds of diseases and poisons lurking in its body."
She met a patient before, and every time she was cured, she committed the crime again every few days, and not long after she was cured, the man thought she was a quack, so he ran over to question her and even smashed her place. Chao Xi found this kind of worm in his room. After being bitten, she got the same problem, and then she understood. After killing the worm, the person never got sick again, which is considered a complete cure.
This kind of insect was newly discovered by her. She hadn't encountered it before, and there was no record in the book. Chao Xi drew it herself and wrote it in the travel medicine journal for future generations to read.
"So... the girl should stay." Still a little worried, she persuaded, "If the girl is sure, I will be the master. It doesn't matter how long I stay. It has been deserted for a long time, making everyone panic. The girl moved in. It’s a blessing for us to break the rumors. But if you’re not sure, don’t stay there. There is really no place to live. When I become a doctor in my library, the library will arrange accommodation for the girl."
They have a large number of people in the library, and there are not enough doctors in the courtyard. They are too busy. There are a lot of key monthly routines. They can’t afford it. If Chao Xi is willing, he can take care of food and housing, and give a little bit of money to recruit a doctor. Happy but not for?
Hearing her tone seems to be very powerful, I don’t know how many people have been invited back and forth in this room. They are all haunted. No one has ever been associated with the bugs in the corner. This girl just saw through it one day and she said quite a bit. It makes sense, is convincing, and I have a hunch that I found a treasure.
Chao Xi was overjoyed, "Thank you, Master, for your kindness. I will live here. If you have any help in the future, just tell me and you can help as much as possible."
What she can help is some small favors. Compared with such a big house, she has taken advantage of it. The house also has a yard, a well, a kitchen, can grow vegetables, can fetch water, and don’t want it. Chao Xi was more satisfied than the pharmacy in her village.
"By the way, I brought some tea from the mountains when I came. The tea is fragrant. Would you like to try it?"
Chao Xi said that she got up, but before she could leave, several people stood up quickly, grabbed her and shook their heads, "No, no, let's go."
People who know that they have lived in the house with infectious diseases are extra precautions against those bowls, dishes, and things that have been imported by infectious diseases. Even if Chao Xi said that after using herbs, he still dare not drink. Excuse to leave.
After going out, there were still some lingering fears, and some people complained about the master, "Ms. Chao Xi is a nice person, but she is a girl after all. In case she is too bad, she is also sick, or there is no place to live and lie, let's recruit her into the library. Didn’t it lead the wolf into the room and spread the disease to the students?

Only then did the master react, "Yes, why didn't I expect it."
It is still unclear how Chao Xi's medical skills are. It is the best to heal herself after getting sick, but if it is not cured, it is very likely that she will infect others.
"What about now?" he asked.
"Don't worry, do you remember the people who got sick? Three days at most, they must be dying."
Three days later-
Chao Xi jumped around and put on the quilt at the door, and saw someone passing by and greeted him enthusiastically.
"Maybe it's her fate, no more than a week at most..."
A week later-
Chao Xi was still alive and kicking, watering the sprouts in the yard.
"Ten days, at most ten days, she must be ill..."
Ten days later-
Passing by the door of Chaoxi, I saw her awkward. How could such a good opportunity be let go, he hurried over and asked, "What's wrong with Chaoxi? Today I look at the lack of energy."
Chao Xi was sitting on the threshold with her hand on her chin, looking very sad, and said, "I saw a person and want to sleep with him, but what if I can't find a chance?"
