Chapter 135 The most vicious curse
According to the peasant woman's description, what the little boy suffered was more like a curse than a disease.
He is healthy most of the time and looks no different from other people his age.
But once the curse strikes, the whole person will become very uncomfortable, including coughing, chest tightness, difficulty breathing, breathlessness, and sometimes headaches and abdominal pain.
The peasant woman took the child to seek help from the lord, but the herbalist in the territory could not tell what kind of disease the little boy had. However, an old woman from the same village who had swept the floor at the temple said that her child might have been contaminated by something. Tangled up.
The more the peasant woman thought about it, the more it made sense, but asking the Silver Moon Church to expel the filth would require a large sum of money, which she could not afford.
She happened to hear that Li Yu was going to compete with Adele in his medical skills, so she took her children and walked for three days and nights to try their luck in Green Field.
After hearing this, Li Yu pondered for a moment, then flipped through the "General Practitioner's Manual of Diagnosis, Treatment and Prescription" at hand, nodded and said to the peasant woman, "Okay, your child can count as one."
When the peasant woman heard this, a look of surprise appeared on her face. At this time, she didn't care whether Li Yu was a heretic or not, she pulled her son and kept thanking him.
Seeing that one spot was allocated so quickly, the crowd couldn't help but commotion and became more active. Before Li Yu could ask, many people had already shouted out their illnesses.
Li Yu then walked up to a man with the loudest voice and asked, "Where did you just say you hurt?"
The man was overjoyed. Without saying anything, he took off his boots and showed them to Li Yu. He saw that his feet were red and swollen, especially on his left foot, which had a bulge that looked very scary.
The man complained, "I got this strange disease about a year ago. It started with my left foot. It was only red and swollen at first, but gradually it became severe and unbearable pain. Whenever I got sick, it was difficult for me to even walk. You can rely on the support of your family, but it usually only lasts for half a month at most, and then it will gradually get better
"The swollen areas used to be swollen, but recently the disease has become more and more frequent, and my right foot has also started to hurt. Now even my fingers are swollen."
Li Yu put on rubber gloves and gently touched the man's instep. The man immediately let out a scream.
Li Yu stood up again and asked, "What do you do?"
"I am the butcher of Black Rock City." The man answered despite the pain.
"Then you must eat meat often."
"Well, I eat meat every day. I can't live without meat. Usually when people ask me to kill pigs, they will leave some meat for me as a reward, especially the nobles in the city. They don't eat the offal of pigs and sheep, so they leave it to me. Sausage.”
"No wonder."
The butcher didn't know why Li Yu asked him what he did. As for eating meat, wouldn't everyone eat it as long as they could afford it? The butcher didn't think this had anything to do with his strange illness.
He just looked at Li Yu with expectant eyes, and kept saying, "How about it, can you choose me?"
"Okay, I can cure your disease." Li Yu said.
When the butcher heard this, he roared three times excitedly. Without putting on his boots, he walked to the mother and son with the help of his family.
Then Li Yu picked out an old man and a woman through questioning.
Just when all the patients were guessing who he would choose as the last person, Li Yu pointed his finger and said, "It's just you!"
The crowd fell silent instantly, and everyone opened their mouths in disbelief.
The chosen person also had a look of confusion on his face. He first looked around, then looked behind him, then turned back and said with some uncertainty, "You, are you referring to me?"
"That's right, it's you." Li Yu said.
"But I'm not sick!" The man was a mercenary. Hearing that there was a lot of excitement in the green field, he ran to see it with his companions, but he didn't expect that he would become the one being watched in the end.
After a pause, he added, "That's not right. My feet are very smelly. Is this a disease?"
His words also caused a burst of laughter.
Li Yu didn't laugh and asked again, "What's your name?"
"Tom, they call me Funny Tom." The mercenary shrugged.
"…………"
"Funny Tom. Do you have this nickname because you are good at telling wisecracks, or because the hair on the top of your head is falling out at a young age and you can already see the bald skull."
The mercenary named Tom fell silent when he heard this.
Good looks are the best stepping stone to love no matter what era you are in.
Especially for an ordinary person like Tom who comes from an ordinary background, but because of his hairstyle, he has missed his true love several times.
Once, he specifically chose winter to go on a date with the woman he loved. He wore a hood the whole time. The two were flirting and flirting. Seeing that their relationship was heating up, they couldn't help themselves. He ran to the hotel and took off his cloak, but the other person fell silent again.
Tom wanted to die at that time.
Although he is usually humorous and jokes one after another, there are a few people who can truly understand the depression deep in his heart.
Tom asked in a trembling voice, "Can my hair be cured?"
"Okay." Li Yu said, "But there may be some side effects."
"What are side effects?"
"It may bring some other curses." Li Yu tried his best to explain in a way that the mercenaries could understand, "You can consider it."
However, Tom said resolutely, "Don't think about it. What curse can be more vicious than having no hair?! If you can really make me grow hair again, then I am willing to directly join your religion and believe in your god!" ”
After saying that, he took big steps and stood together with the butcher, peasant woman and others.
At this point, Li Yu has completed his selection.
It happened to be at this time that an uproar broke out on the other side.
Li Yu looked in the direction where Adele was, and happened to see the girl also choose someone, and that person turned out to be a blind man!
After learning that he had been chosen and had the opportunity to see again, the blind man couldn't help but shed tears of excitement.
There was also a sound of praise for Pisiya from the crowd.
Adele looked pious, and walked towards another person while the believers were worshiping. This time the crowd screamed louder, because the person finally chosen by the priestess was even more exaggerated than the previous blind man, and simply lacked one leg.
Li Yu couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.
As expected, the Silver Moon Church had no intention of openly competing with him on medical skills from the beginning, and directly raised this competition to the realm of "magic".
Even the drama of blind people regaining their sight and severed limbs regenerating was staged.
I don’t know, I thought there was a sequel to Fullmetal Alchemist
But since the Silver Moon Church doesn't want to take the right path and wants to play magic, Li Yu doesn't mind letting the other party see what real magic is. (End of chapter)
