Chapter 95 People Who Had Gone to h.e.l.l
“Mumu, what, what are these?”
Zhao walked over and was startled to see the things on the porcelain plate.
“Wenmo’s discomfort must be related to these things.” After picking out the blood-tinged things, Su Muge asked Yueru to bring the two lambs given to her by Xia Houmo to the yard.
“Xinche, go to the yard and squeeze two bowls of goat milk. After boiling the milk, feed one bowl of milk to the young master, and bring the other bowl to my room.” The two lambs had abundant goat milk every day, so she would let Xinche and others squeeze the milk for daily drinking. Xia Houmo’s expectation to eat roasted whole lamb was to fall through.
“Yes.”
Hearing this, Zhao was terrified. “Mumu, is there any problem with my body?”
“I suspect someone has taken actions secretly.”
Su Muge didn’t say much; she couldn’t make sure until she figured out these blood-tinged things.
After returning to her room, she kept observing the constantly moving blood-tinged things. At first glance, she found them look like tiny leeches, but not so much alike. Leech was not so thin after all.
Su Muge took out the scalpel and began to dissect…
“It turned out to be filaria!”
Su Muge put down the scalpel in her hand on the table. After dissection, she had known what it was.
Filaria was a parasite that could survive and reproduce anywhere. They were not so terrible but could scare people.
This parasite entered the human body in the form of eggs and then reproduced until they occupied the entire human body. As long as the belly was cut open by a scalpel, these things would flood out like maggots!
She gave little Wenmo the medicine a few days ago to expel parasites out of his body. Since she couldn’t find any problem by taking the pulse, she had to try another method.
And her guess turned out to be right!
She immediately wrote a prescription, opened the door, and walked out. “Yueru, go to fill the prescription for the next three days. Hurry up!”
This parasite had a very strong ability to reproduce; an egg could reproduce thousands of worms.
After taking the prescription and money, Yueru went out in person.
It was about noon. Su Muge went to Zhao’s room and met Meihua coming back with lunch from the general kitchen.
“Miss, you want to have lunch with Madam? I’ll ask them to take yours here.”
Su Muge nodded, and Meihua put the hamper down and went out.
Zhao had been staying with little Wenmo. The little guy had fallen asleep with no idea of what he had experienced.
“Mother, I’ve figured out the cause of my brother’s sickness. He’ll be fine after taking the medicine for three days.”
Hearing her word, Zhao didn’t recover from her low spirits. “Sometimes, I wonder if I shouldn’t have given birth to this child. I’m so useless that he can only suffer with me.”
“How can it be? He can’t be too lucky to be your child. How can he feel miserable? On the long road of life, it will not always be plain sailing. Good things never come easy. Having suffered so much, Wenmo will get better and better.”
Zhao looked up at Su Muge and held her hand with tearful eyes. “Thanks to you, otherwise I don’t know what to do.”
“Madam, rest a.s.sured. With Miss, the young master will be fine.” Meihua had returned with Su Muge’s lunch.
An dared not reduce their daily spending now, so their meals were pretty good.
“Mother, have lunch first. If you are starving and weak, who will take care of brother?”
Zhao wanted to say that she was not hungry, but she found Su Muge’s words quite reasonable.
“Okay.”
The mother and daughter came to the table and sat down. For lunch, they had six dishes and one soup.
Su Muge glanced at the dishes but couldn’t find anything strange with naked eyes.
“Madam, this is your favorite leek pancake.”
Meihua picked up a piece of pancake and some leeks with dipping sauce and put them into Zhao’s bowl.
Zhao was a southerner, but she liked leeks which were good for health. So Su Muge wouldn’t stop her.
But today, when Zhao picked up the leeks to eat, Su Muge reached out to stop her.
Zhao looked at Su Muge in confusion. “Mumu, you want to eat?”
She had asked her before, but Su Muge refused.
Su Muge shook her head. “Mother, let me see the leeks.”
The eggs of filaria preferred relatively low temperatures.
Su Muge wiped off the sauce on the leek and opened it layer by layer.
Sure enough, in the innermost layer, she found a few white particles. If they were not observed carefully, they would never be discovered!
“What, what are these?” Zhao also found the anomalies.
“These are the things that have hurt brother.” After Zhao unknowingly ate these eggs, they entered little Wenmo’s body through Zhao’s breast milk.
Zhao hadn’t felt sick yet because she had been taking the pills given by Su Muge and the dead worms may have been discharged during her defecation.
“Mother, take two more pills today and for the following ten days. During this time, feed goat milk to brother.”
“Okay.”
“Meihua, send a little maid to investigate secretly who has touched the leeks.” Zhao gritted her teeth angrily. It was unforgivable to treat a baby under one year old!
“Yes, I’ll go right away.”
“Well, let her be careful not to be discovered. After the job is done, I’ll reward her!”
“Yes.”
It was the first time that Su Muge had seen Zhao losing temper. She couldn’t help but smile, admiring a mother’s strength.
The little maid sent by Meihua was very smart. After a thorough investigation, except for Meihua, there were only two people who had touched the leeks.
The daily food materials of Su Mansion would be delivered to the back door before dawn. At that time, the leeks were mixed with other vegetables. After they were carried into the kitchen, the people in charge of the kitchen would take out a small part of the leeks and put aside, which would be sent to Zhao.
“Who is in charge of the kitchen?”
“It’s Sun Mama. She’s the mother-in-law of Li Mama’s youngest son.”
She was An’s follower, of course.
Su Muge didn’t show her opinion but looked at Zhao, “How do you intend to deal with this, mother?”
As for this matter, they had discovered and stopped it in time. But some things still had to be completely eradicated from the root!
Zhao closed her lips tightly and said after a while, “I won’t let it go so easily!”
Two days later, Su Lun invited the sage-like old Taoist priest to the house.
“Master, please come in.” Su Lun said politely.
After entering the Su Mansion, the old Taoist priest shook his white eyebrows. Su Lun caught sight of this detail and was more certain that the Taoist priest was not ordinary.
“Master, my house …”
The old Taoist priest shook his whisk in his hand and walked to the front. “Let me have a look at it first.”
“Okay, let me show you the way.”
An got the news and walked out, supported by Li Mama.
“My Lord?”
Su Lun didn’t inform An of inviting the Taoist priest to Su Mansion.
“Today, I invite the Taoist priest to come over and see. You can wait in the front hall.”
“Yes.”
After walking around Su Mansion, they arrived at the front hall.
“Master, how is it?”
The old Taoist priest closed his eyes and moved his fingertips before opening his eyes and asking, “Have a series of strange things happened recently in the mansion?”
Su Lun and An nodded after looking at each other.
“Yes, my wife is not sick but increasingly emaciated. And my son is also unwell.” Su Lun didn’t reveal his accident; he still felt a little embarra.s.sed about his tumble.
“Well, that’s right. Your mansion was haunted by evil spirits. After the acc.u.mulation of the evil spirits for a long time, all of them broke out all of a sudden. If you don’t find a way to suppress them as soon as possible, the consequences will be unimaginable. At least, you may be displaced; at most, you may die without your whole bodies!”
“What!” When Su Lun heard it, his face turned pale.
An’s look was no much better.
“Master, is, is that true? No wonder Wen’er suddenly got sick a few days ago and can’t get up now after lying in bed for so long. It turned out that …” An stumbled and fell into a chair.
“Master, what should we do?” Su Lun was slightly calmer, but his anxiety couldn’t be hidden.
“There are two ways. One is to eradicate the source of the evil spirits, and the other is to find something that can suppress it.”
“Where, where is the source of the evil spirits?”
“Let me see.”
The old Taoist priest closed his eyes and pinched his fingers again. Not until Su Lun became a little impatient did he open his eyes and say, “Is there anyone with this birth horoscope in your mansion?”
The old Taoist priest dipped his fingertips into the tea and wrote a birth horoscope on the table.
Su Lun knew nothing except for his own birth horoscope.
As soon as An looked at it, she was even more serious.
“Do you know whose birth horoscope is this?”
An didn’t answer Su Lun but looked at the old Taoist priest, “Master, what’s wrong with this birth horoscope?”
The old Taoist priest shook his head. “This is the source of the evil spirits.”
“What!? It, it is the eldest Miss!?” An was shocked, with an incredible look.
“What? It’s Muge?”
“Yes, My Lord, I remember the birth horoscope of the eldest Miss. This is hers.”
“How could it be possible?!” Su Lun frowned.
“I wonder if any accident has happened to the person with this birth horoscope before.” The old Taoist priest said again.
“Accident…” Somehow, Su Lun thought of Su Muge sitting up from the coffin!
He still clearly remembered the horrifying scene at that time!
“She, she died once. Is, is it an accident…” An whispered with trembling lips.
Su Lun looked at her; apparently, he had the same thought with her.
“Certainly! No wonder. People who died once contain the heaviest evil spirits! That’s the one who has gone to h.e.l.l!”
