Chapter 34: The Learned Stupid
Li Qi touched his body and found nine hundred and ninety-two cents.
It was broken, and the new boss only gave the martial arts and that willow branch, but didn't give the money!
He is still doing it alone, and he can sleep in the wilderness and by the bridge, but he can't sleep in the streets at most.
But there was a woman around her... but this woman was dressed in a wealthy outfit, with a scarf and silk, and she looked very rich at first glance.
No, Sir, this seems not very safe, how dare you sleep on the street?
The most important thing is that there is no guard or anything else. Li Qi, the only one who accompanied him, was a ragsman who could tell at a glance that he was a poor man.
Just dressing up and going out, I felt like I was telling someone: "Come and rob me! Come and stole me! Not only is I very rich, but I don't have the ability to resist at first glance!"
So Li Qi took two steps on the street to divert the attention of Miss Chen, and then said to him: "Miss Chen, my name is Li Qi, you should already know."
"Well, Li Qi, my name is Chen Shuibi." Chen Shuibi's attention had been diverted, and she seemed to have forgotten her previous anger.
This made Li Qi sigh.
This monster is indeed incompetent. No wonder the human race is the world. If it doesn’t become a human race, it will become a ghost if it doesn’t become a human race.
Oh, no, it should be said... this is called innocence?
I really hope that everyone in the world is so innocent.
Li Qi walked all the way to a river with Shenshuibi.
He squatted by the river, standing behind him inexplicably, as if he didn't understand what to do.
At this time, Li Qi spoke: "Miss Chen, we will set out together in the future... Oh no, we have to start our journey together. We must know each other. I don't know anything about you except your name."
"However, understanding must be mutual. Let me introduce myself first."
Li Qi said and began to introduce himself.
His life is very thin. Apart from the outsider, it is not easy to talk about. You can't tell others that he is a time traveler, right?
Although there is actually no difference between heretics, it seems that Mr. Zhu looks like there are still quite a few people...
I don’t know if I have the chance to meet a fellow villager?
In addition, he briefly introduced the stories he encountered when he was a boatman while telling some of the stories he encountered while pulling a boat.
Such things as fighting wits and courage with Shanda Zhuang, the mountain spirits and water monsters I encountered while pulling a boat.
Generally, when encountering those monsters, there will be big men from the boatman responsible for solving them, and the boatmen will not be allowed to die.
After all, those who can run boats are not comparable to those of boatmen.
There are also some legends I have heard about when I travel around the pier, such as water insects, water monkeys, witches casting spells, etc.
He told his own story, but attracted Chen Shuibi's attention. She had never heard of these things before, and she seemed to treat Li Qi as a storyteller.
"So, because of the witch, if a child in our Dalu Kingdom is seriously ill, he will most likely not go to see a doctor, but will go to find a wizard and ask the wizard to treat the disease." Li Qi said some strange stories he had seen in the Baiyue area.
Now, I just happened to talk about the witches walking around the streets. In Li Qi's opinion, they are the profession of a barefoot doctor, and they will use some herbs or magical techniques to cure diseases.
However, at this time, Chen Shuibi suddenly spoke.
"I know this. Confucian and Taoist masters have written about the deeds of Baiyue, saying, "The common people of Baiyue are wise men. When people are sick, they will ask the witches with their eight characters. When the witch comes, they will break a chicken egg and see how yellow and white are in it to know the severity of the disease. If they are mild, they will use wine and food to treat them. If they are severe, they will paint statues in the hall. The witches are beautiful women, brag their horns, dance with gongs, and sing with a chicken with a flower pole. The dance is called the soul-red dance, the dance of breaking the fetus. The song is called the rooster song, and the song is called the warm flower song. For those who are warm, the witches will unite the garlands with colorful colors, and make them each look at a flower to celebrate. After the blessing, they will sing. This is called the warm flower. The witches will sing their arms and blood to paint the talismans, which is called Xianyang.' It is said that the Baiyue area will use witches to cure diseases, rather than to send doctors."
"So, that gentleman has scolded him, Baiyue is ignorant. There are often ten witches in the countryside, but it is difficult to find a doctor. People must live in difficulties. It is important to know that although witches can cure diseases, they cannot prevent them. In addition to curing diseases, doctors can also find the root cause, explore the cause, cure one person from the root, and cure one person, so that a hundred people will no longer get sick. However, witches can only treat one person, which is just a drop in the bucket."
Li Qi listened to these words and turned his head to look at her, his face full of surprise.
This woman... no, the banshee, although she gave Li Qi the impression that she was stupid, she always spoke in a good way. She said that Liu Zhi was the case before, and she just cited the scriptures and said that she was just citing scriptures, as if she had read many ancient books.
However, I have read a lot of books and a lot of knowledge reserves... Why is my mind still as if I am incompetent?
"It's true, what this gentleman said makes sense." Li Qishen agreed. Those wizards can cure the disease, but even if they are cured, they don't even know how the disease is cured.
Li Qi suffered it. He pulled a boat and was parasitized by the water gu. He became big belly and rounded, and his belly was full of wriggling bugs. He spent money to hire a wizard. The wizard casts spells and dances for him. Soon, the water gu died and all pulled out.
But although the disease was cured, Li Qi didn't know how to prevent it from happening later, and how to prevent others from getting sick. Even the wizard himself didn't know it, so he could only treat one.
Hearing Li Qi agree with his opinion, Shen Shuibi let out a proud hum.
It's really... worry-free.
After chatting for about twenty minutes, she seemed to have completely forgotten the previous unhappiness.
However, this is exactly what Li Qi wanted to do, but even Li Qi himself did not expect the effect to be so immediate.
I don’t know if I have too strong chat skills or the target person is too easy to cheat.
He also struck while the iron was hot and continued to say, "After talking about so many things about me, Miss Shen, you haven't told me about yourself yet. How did you come to Dalu Kingdom?"
The topic has ended here, and Shen Shuibi didn't feel anything wrong: "Me? I don't have as many stories as you. I am just the rabbit of the Empress. I have been with the Empress since I was a child. I studied, I also studied, the Empress practiced, I also practiced, the Empress eats, I also eats, it's just about a hundred years? Then you know, the Empress was chased and ran halfway, and she was afraid that I would be killed by the aftermath, so she put me on the big deer."
"But I was not lucky and was infected with a magic trick of the pursuers. That thing would turn into my guard energy, feed on my cultivation, and show my position."
