As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a strange sound coming from the depths of the forest, like someone blowing a horn, whimpering, echoing in the silent forest, making people's scalp numb. Zhao Feng subconsciously held the equipment box in his arms: "What's this noise? Could it be... An encounter with a wild beast?" "It's not a wild beast," Gesang's face was a little solemn. "It's the Lhoba people's 'ghost exorcism ritual'. It seems that someone in the village is seriously ill, and they are treating the disease in their own way." After walking through the woods, the eyes suddenly opened up. A small village is located in a mountain col. Dozens of stilted houses are built against the mountain. The roofs are covered with thick thatch, and there is a faint white smoke in the rain. In the open space in the center of the village, a dozen Lhoba people wearing animal skin clothes were dancing around a fire, waving spears and machetes in their hands and muttering something. Next to the fire, there was a wooden shelf tied with a person lying on it, tied with thick rattan, making it difficult to see clearly. "What are they doing?" Mu Zhao was frightened. "During 'exorcism'," Gesang sighed, "they think their illness is due to being possessed by evil spirits, and they have to rely on dancing and roasting to drive away the ghosts. The ones lying down should be the patients." Just as they were talking, a Lhoba man noticed them and immediately rushed over with a spear raised, shouting words they couldn't understand, and his eyes were so fierce that he wanted to eat people. Gesang hurried forward and explained in blunt Lhoba language. After gesticulating for a long time, the man's expression softened slightly, but he still held the spear tightly and stared at them warily. "He said that the children in the village had a 'strange disease', had fever, vomited, and talked nonsense. The shaman danced for three days to no avail and would not let outsiders get close," Gesang translated. Mu Zhao's heart sank: "Child? We are doctors, maybe we can help." As soon as she took a step forward, the man stopped her with a spear. He pointed at the equipment boxes they were carrying, and then pointed at the sky, mumbling something with an excited expression. "He said you are bringing 'luminous devils' that will anger the mountain gods and make the children's illnesses worse." Gesang translated helplessly. Zhao Feng was anxious: "What the devil! This is life-saving equipment! If they bothered so much, if the child was really seriously ill, he would have been delayed long ago!" At this moment, a shrill cry suddenly came from beside the fire. A Lhoba woman threw herself beside the wooden frame and cried to the child lying on it. The child's body twitched violently and green foam came out of her mouth. "Not good!" Mu Zhao's heart tightened, "The child might have meningitis! If it continues to burn, his brain will be damaged!" She ignored the man's obstruction and ran towards the fire. Shen Yuhuai followed closely behind, blocking in front of her to prevent anyone from hurting her. Zhao Feng and Lin Yu also rushed over, put the equipment box on the ground, and started to unpack it to get things. "Stop!" An old voice sounded. An old man wearing a feather headdress walked out of the stilted building. He must be the village shaman. Holding a crutch wrapped in snake skin, he slowly walked up to Mu Zhao, staring at her with his cloudy eyes, as if he could see through people's hearts. "What do you want to do?" The old man's Chinese was not bad, but his accent was very strong. "I am a doctor and can save that child." Mu Zhao pointed to the child on the wooden frame. "He is not possessed by an evil spirit. He is sick and needs treatment." "Nonsense!" The old man suddenly raised his crutch. "He is trapped by a mountain ghost! Only my spell can save him! You outsiders, get out of here! Otherwise the mountain god will be angry!" "If we wait any longer, the child will really be hopeless!" Mu Zhao's voice also became louder. "Look at his eyes, the pupils are almost dilated! This is a typical symptom of meningitis. He must be cooled down and infused immediately!" The shaman was shocked by her momentum, and then became even more angry: "You dare to question my spell? I will let the mountain god punish you!" He raised his crutch and muttered to the sky, his voice urgent and fast. Suddenly, there was a thunder in the sky, and a bolt of lightning cut through the rain curtain, hitting a big tree not far away, and the tree trunk instantly burst into flames. The Lhoba people were so frightened that they knelt down and kowtowed to the sky. The shaman looked at Mu Zhao proudly: "Did you see that? The mountain god is angry!" The man took the opportunity to raise his spear and was about to stab Mu Zhao. Shen Yuhuai quickly pulled her behind him and stood up facing the spear, his eyes as cold as ice: "Who dares to touch her?"
