Chapter 1288 1288 [Witch Doctor, Master Ma! 】(1/2)
"But---"
"But what?" Shi Zhijian looked at the tricycle driver with a smile, "Isn't Aji your best friend? Doesn't he know any miracle doctor?"
The tricycle driver was stunned by the question. He turned around and said to Aji in Thai: "The plan has changed. This Chinese is very cunning and ruthless. For the time being, you can take him to see the miracle doctor. As for whether the miracle doctor is willing to see him, it depends on his luck!"
After speaking, he turned around and took half of the banknote from Shi Zhijian, clasping his hands together: "I wish you good luck!"
…
Wow!
Wow!
Aji was driving the boat on the black river.
Lying on the stretcher, Tang Long took the initiative to talk to Shi Zhijian for the first time: "I don't want you to help me."
"I'm not helping you, I'm just curious about Thai witchcraft and want to experience it."
Tang Long looked deeply into Shi Zhijian's eyes, as if he was guessing whether what he said was the truth or a lie.
Shi Zhijian smiled slightly and asked him, "Do you smoke?" As he spoke, he took out the cigarette box from his arms, popped one out and stuffed it into Tang Long's mouth.
Tang Long couldn't open his mouth, but Shi Zhijian took out his lighter and helped him light the cigarette.
Tang Long took a puff of cigarette and coughed violently.
Shi Zhijian stood on the bow of the boat and looked at him. He also took out one, bit it on his mouth, lit it, and started smoking.
Tang Long was still coughing, but even so, he still bit the cigarette and smoked it slowly, refusing to throw it away at all.
Aji held the boat and started to sing, but it was an unfamiliar Thai song. His voice was not very good, but his voice was loud enough and very penetrating, especially in this dark night.
Soon, the boat came to a small wooden house.
This cabin is not connected to other cabins. It looks lonely from a distance, especially on the water. It feels like it is deliberately excluded by other people, or deliberately kept away out of fear.
There are two torches stuck on the deck in front of the cabin. If you look carefully, you can see that the torches are stuck on the heads of two skulls.
Shi Zhijian understood to some extent that this should be where the Thai wizard lived.
In Thailand, people have a love-hate relationship with shamans.
I love that they can help everyone heal when they are sick and unlucky; I am afraid that they have magical powers and can persecute innocent people.
Under the influence of this ambivalence, people stay away from such wizards.
When Aji saw this hut, his expression became obviously nervous, and even his paddling speed slowed down.
He turned back to Shi Zhijian and said in Thai: "I won't go in, you will go in by yourselves later! Money, give me the half of the money!"
Shi Zhijian couldn't understand Thai, so Tang Long said feebly: "He's scared, he doesn't dare to go in, let's give him the remaining half of the money!"
Shi Zhijian said: "Tell him that it's okay if he doesn't go in, but he has to help carry you down."
Tang Long told Aji again in Thai.
Aji said something angrily, as if he was saying that he was in bad luck and that he should not have listened to the tricycle driver. Seeing a wizard would bring bad luck!
Although he was reluctant, Aji helped Shi Zhijian carry Tang Long to the deck of the cabin.
Shi Zhijian gave him the remaining half of the money, and Aji hurriedly jumped on the boat and ran away, as if he was afraid of being infected by the plague.
Soon, only Shi Zhijian and Tang Long were left on the deck. Tang Long was still lying on the deck, with the torch on the skull burning brightly. It looked very weird!
Shi Zhijian had never believed in ghosts and gods, so he felt a little scared at this time. He coughed and walked forward and knocked on the door.
"Sorry to bother you, is there anyone?"
In the dark night, on the quiet river, Shi Zhijian's voice sounded a little scary even to him.
I knocked twice, but no response.
Shi Zhijian thought to himself that this was a terrible situation. He might have to spend the night on the deck with no way forward or retreat.
Just then, there was a crunch!
The door of the wooden house was opened, and a head popped out: "Who is it?"
Shi Zhijian was startled, but when he looked carefully, he saw a delicate face, with almond-shaped eyes, peach cheeks, and rosy lips, but the skin was slightly darker.
Seeing that it was a person, and a beautiful girl at that, Shi Zhijian's heart dropped to the ground, and he clasped his fists and said, "I'm sorry, little sister, I brought a friend to seek medical treatment, and I hope you can give me some advice!"
The girl glanced at Shi Zhijian suspiciously. It was rare to see such a handsome man in Thailand, and then glanced at Tang Long who was lying on the stretcher: "Wait a moment!"
Boom!
Close the door!
Shi Zhijian was stunned for a long time, then took out a cigarette from his arms and said to Tang Long: "Would you like another cigarette?!"
…
One cigarette effort——
Crunch!
The cabin door opens.
The girl poked her head out again, looked at Shi Zhijian and said, "What's wrong with your friend?"
"The spine is injured and I can't move."
"Isn't that what it means to be disabled?" the girl said. "It's hard to reconnect a broken bone. My grandfather said it can't be saved!"
Shi Zhijian said hurriedly: "How come you know that you can't save your grandfather before he even looks at it? At least take a look first!"
"I think it's okay, but if I can't save him, you still have to pay. Are you willing to give up?" The girl bargained with Shi Zhijian.
Shi Zhijian understands, this girl is just a doctor, maybe the person inside is also a big liar. When you enter the room, he will take a casual look and then say that there is no way to save, but you still have to pay because they will check you.
.
"It doesn't matter, let us go in first!" Shi Zhijian said with a smile, "For me, there is no shortage of money!"
It's better to spend the night inside than on the deck, this was Shi Zhijian's plan.
The girl smiled slightly and said, "I knew you looked quite rich, wearing famous brands!"
Shi Zhijian gave a thumbs up: "Know the goods!"
"Of course, the only people who can come to us for medical treatment are rich and powerful people, and the poor are reluctant to come!"
"Haha, the girl is right! Can you help me carry my friend into the house?"
"Okay!" the girl said with a smile, "but you have to pay more."
"No problem!" Shi Zhijian was very generous.
The girl walked out of the room, small and exquisite. When Shi Zhijian doubted whether she could lift Tang Long, the girl had already lifted the stretcher and said to Shi Zhijian: "What are you doing standing still? Let's get together!"
Shi Zhijian hurriedly stretched out his hand to help and said: "I didn't expect you to be very strong! By the way, what's your last name, girl?"
"Just call me Axiang!"
"Okay, Miss Axiang - please raise your other end, I can't help you here!"
White candles were lit inside the wooden house. There was a large altar in the front, surrounded by red and yellow cloths. Directly opposite was a very weird three-legged statue of a god. I didn't know which god it was.
An old man with his upper body bare and wearing large breeches turned his back to Shi Zhijian and the others and was worshiping the statue.
After the girl helped carry Tang Long in, she put down the stretcher, walked over to the old man and said, "Grandpa, I brought the guests in."
The old man nodded, babbled a few words to the statue, worshiped for a while, and then turned around and looked at Shi Zhijian and the others.
With the help of the candle light, Shi Zhijian could clearly see the old man, who was as thin as firewood, with a bone string hanging around his neck and ghost symbols painted on his chest. His eyes were sharp and strange.
"Hello, Master, I heard that you have excellent medical skills, so I brought my friends here to see the doctor, hoping that you would lend a helping hand..." Shi Zhijian clasped his hands together and said according to the rules of the people here.
The old man glanced at Shi Zhijian and suddenly touched the top of Shi Zhijian's head.
Shi Zhijian was startled.
The girl Axiang was also surprised.
You must know that touching someone's head is a very rude behavior in Thailand, especially when meeting someone like this for the first time, it is even more rude.
"You are very strange!" The old man stared at Shi Zhijian with his old eyes, "How is your destiny...possible?"
The old man's expression was tangled, as if he couldn't figure it out.
But the girl Axiang couldn't help but said: "Grandpa, please don't be so rude, okay? Don't let go! I'm a guest, it's my first time here!"
Hearing this, the old man released his withered hand touching Shi Zhijian's head.
Shi Zhijian was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said: "Can you speak Chinese?" It turned out that the old man just spoke in Chinese.
The old man smiled slightly: "I am Thai Chinese, of course I can speak Chinese - by the way, just call me Master Ma!"
"Hello Master Ma, can you help me check on my friend's injury first?" Shi Zhijian urged when he saw that Master Ma seemed to be worried.
Master Ma closed his eyes and remained silent.
Axiang said next to him: "According to our rules here, you have to pay money first to help people see a doctor!"
