Ah Zhu did not dare to use the words ghostly face to describe it again, so he swallowed the word ghostly and only uttered the last word.
Lu Xingzhi nodded. “I’ve seen it before, and I even asked out of curiosity. You can choose to listen to the local people’s methods in the countryside. It’s up to you whether you want to try it or not.”
“Speak.”
Brother Ding lost his patience. Who would have the heart to love someone with such a terrifying face?
Furthermore, Wen Yunfang was not his biological daughter. He doted on her for Sister Wen’s sake, but Wen Yunfang had been causing trouble those few days, which had made him lose some of his patience.
A foster daughter who did not know how to make him happy would only make him upset and cause trouble for him.. Brother Ding did not feel much love at that moment.
Jiang Yao knew that Lu Xingzhi was talking nonsense, but she pretended that she knew what was going on and stood beside Lu Xingzhi.
When she heard Lu Xingzhi tell them how to treat it, she held back her laughter until her stomach was about to explode.
Lu Xingzhi said, “Mix some fresh cow dung and sheep dung with fermented rice water. After mixing it, you can apply it to your face. Do that three times a day before mealtime. Wrap it in gauze. It will be healed in about three to four days. You won’t have any scars either.”
After Lu Xingzhi finished speaking, the whole room was silent.
Fresh cow dung and fresh sheep dung mixed into the fermented rice water? That sounded disgusting.
The most amazing thing was that that guy had asked them to apply that before mealtime!
Who could eat after that?
“Really?”
Even Ah Zhu was dumbfounded.
Lu Xingzhi said, “In any case, I think the villagers did it like that. The locals said people with that disease must have accidentally offended some ghosts or G.o.ds, and that was their punishment. Ghosts and G.o.ds are afraid of dirt and smell, so that’s the cure for it. It sounds very superst.i.tious, but after those people did that, they were cured, indeed. When I was in prison, I also met a person with the same condition. He also asked someone to get those things for him, and after he was cured, there was no scar on his face.”
Jiang Yao nodded as if she was serious about it. “Yes, that’s how they do it in our hometown. The senior citizens would know about it. That sounds a little disgusting, so Brother Changshu and I thought about it all night. We did not know if we should tell you guys or not. In short, the local method is also a method. You guys need time to go to the hospitals in other places anyway. Why don’t you give it a go?”
Give that a go?
Jiang Yao muttered in her heart. ‘We’ll know if it’ll heal after we give it a try, right? There won’t be any scarring!’
“Actually, Brother Changshu did not tell you the whole story.”
Jiang Yao said, “The locals said that grimace illness is afraid of dirt and smell, so it is best to get the dirtiest and smelliest dung to smear it on the face. It will have less scarring too. However, humans are afraid of dirt and smell, so we won’t like sheep dung and cow dung even though those animals only eat gra.s.s. I heard that some people even use chicken dung, and some people use human excrement and pee. But it’s all hearsay. Whether it’s true or not, we can’t be sure.”
Jiang Yao did not care whether others believed her or not. In any case, she wanted them to feel as if Wen Yunfang’s face would not recover if they did not try it.
The medicine in her hands was infinite. With Moe as her helper, she could make Wen Yunfang’s condition worse every day. Wen Yunfang loved her face, so Jiang Yao believed that she would try it eventually.
