Chapter 106: Could It Be That Little Girl Is Acting Strange?
ising him: "Er Bo is amazing! You became an official even without passing the imperial examination! Zhi Min said that Uncle Liu often causes trouble in the yamen. Those officials who serve with him al...The old woman was startled and didn't understand what had happened.
But Dr. Zhang wouldn't hurt her, would he When she came to her senses, she raised the green flower in her hand and intended to throw it far away.
But, it was too late by then.
Two dark figures shot out from the branches like lightning.
In the blink of an eye, he was right in front of her. Jia Yin was so startled that her heart skipped a beat, sensing something was wrong.
She instinctively flinched, before she could even look at what had entered the space, her grandmother let out a scream and collapsed to the ground.
A muscular man's finger-thick green snake was clamping down tightly on her arm, refusing to let go.
People from afar heard the commotion and all ran over, dropping what they were carrying.
Li Laosi snatched the girl from his daughter-in-law and then hugged his mother.
Old Mrs. Li trembled with pain, but she still stared fixedly at her granddaughter.
Just now, they were two snakes. Did the other one bite the granddaughter
Jia Yin was so scared that she couldn't make a sound, her tears streaming down her face.
How did she just take in a snake!
If both are taken in, how could grandma be bitten!
Zhang Shenyi swiftly untied his belt and bound Old Lady Li's arm.
Then he shouted loudly to the crowd, “Quickly bring torches! Hurry and save him! It’s the Green Goblin!”
No one else had heard of the Green Beauty, but Liu Biao's face changed drastically. He drew his dagger directly and handed it over.
Doctor Zhang brushed and cut open Old Lady Li's sleeve, then carefully stabbed the dagger into the green snake's seven inches.
The little green snake was in so much pain that it nearly curled up. Its mouth slowly loosened its grip on Grandma Li's arm.
The divine doctor Zhang quickly cut open the snake’s belly, extracted its gall bladder, and crushed the green flower into juice. He then mixed the juice with the gall bladder.
"Lao Si, suck out the snake venom, and be sure not to swallow any of it, not even a drop."
Li Laosi didn't hesitate for a second, he bowed his head and sucked on his mother's arm.
Bit by bit, he coughed up blood that was almost black.
Everyone was so frightened that they didn't even dare to breathe loudly. The old and young of the Li family even pinched each other's arms, desperately trying to endure and refusing to shed tears.
They can't cry, Grandma will be fine!
Soon, the blood Li Lao Si exhaled finally turned a vibrant crimson.
Master Zhang, with a solemn expression, drew a cross on the old woman's arm to ensure no venomous fangs remained. He then applied a mixture of snake bile and flower extract, carefully bandaging the wound.
Everyone watched him expectantly. He wiped his forehead and after a long pause, he spoke.
"Fortunately, I was nearby and arrived in time to save him. He should be out of danger. But tonight, watching him, he's not feverish, just needs to get through it."
In a word, it finally allowed everyone to breathe.
"Oh my god, what happened How did your aunt get bitten by a snake"
"That's right, we all smeared the medicine from the divine doctor. We haven't encountered any snakes these past few days!"
"The good fortune of Aunt Fu is great, fortunately Doctor Zhang is by her side."
Liu, the鏢 head, saw that Zhang, the Divine Physician, was indeed tired and didn't want to trouble him. So, he said to the crowd:
"This snake is called the Green Beauty. I heard about it from a friend. It mates only once every three years, and when it does, it needs to find a green flower. The scent of this flower is what these snakes like best, and it can make the female lay more eggs."
Zhang the Divine Physician also nodded, pointing at the remaining green flower. "It must be that these two snakes had their eyes on this flower. When the flower was picked, they went mad and followed all the way back. We just discovered it early enough, so their fangs didn't sink into the old woman's flesh. Otherwise, even a Great Luo Golden Immortal couldn't have saved her."
Everyone shuddered in shock and instinctively took a few steps back, away from the flower.
At this point, Zhang Shenyi suddenly remembered and asked, "Wait a minute, there's only one here, where's the other snake!"
This sentence completely terrified everyone. Those with children hugged their children, those who had shelters flipped through them, and some even moved their baskets and luggage.
I was afraid the snake might be hiding somewhere and come out to cause trouble again in the middle of the night.
Only the Li family remained still because the old lady was holding Jiayin at the time, and Jiayin was crying so terribly, it was obvious this had something to do with her.
But Jia Yi cried even harder, "That flower was picked by me, ohhh, I didn't know there would be a snake that bit grandma!"
Jia Yin was also crying in hiccups, it was because she thought the flower was pretty, so she asked her brother to pick it!
Li Laoer pulled his son up, red-eyed and reprimanded, "What are you crying for, useless thing! Be more careful next time, don't do stupid things again. Now focus on taking good care of your grandma."
Li Laosì carefully picked up his old mother and walked toward the shack.
Now that everyone has taken their children, Lao Li lay down and Jia Yin immediately struggled to crawl beside her, staying perfectly still as a guard.
Jiayi was also squatting outside the kennel, unwilling to leave.
Everyone else was unable to stay, so Zhao Yuru stayed behind to look after the old woman, while the rest went about their busy work.
At this point, the rest of the villagers couldn't find the little snake and could only give up.
The pork feast, which should have been fragrant and delicious, tasted a little less savory because of this turn of events.
On the one hand, everyone was worried about Old Madam Li. On the other hand, the fear of the mountains and forests added a few more points of anxiety.
Even a small snake can now be fatal.
Keep going, who knows what dangers lie ahead.
The Li family members ate haphazardly and then stayed by the old woman's side.
Zhang Shenyi almost dug up the whole place just now, he didn't know what he was looking for.
It was like that vanished little snake, yet it seemed like more than just a snake!
He tugged at his beard impatiently, and suddenly saw the shed of Li's house. His heart skipped a beat.
When Ye was at the Li household, he favored the youngest girl in the Li family.
Just now, when the two snakes pounced over, Old Li happened to be holding this little girl...
Could everything strange be coming from the little girl
He then shook his head vigorously, shaking the absurd idea away.
A one-year-old baby can't even speak clearly, he must be overthinking it.
Jia Yin didn't know that Zhang Shenyi had taken a liking to her, and even if she did, she wouldn't have the time to care.
The old woman was bitten by a snake. Nowadays, one would need to receive antivenom.
Although the old woman's wound has been drained of poison and medicated, there may still be some residual toxins.
Otherwise, Dr. Zhang wouldn't have reminded him that tonight would be difficult and that he had to endure it to completely escape danger.
Her small courtyard didn't have any antivenom. She could only use the freeze-dried powder again.
Boosting immunity should also help the elderly woman fight off any lingering toxins, right
She didn't care if it worked or not, she pulled Zhao Yuru to get her some water.
Seeing that the old woman was still, Zhao Yuru went out and poured half a bowl of water, bringing it in.
Jia Yin held both hands, placing them by her side, quietly sprinkled dried powder into them, and was about to feed the elderly woman.
Zhao Yuru didn't know there were good things in the water, and she still tried to stop it, but Jiayin insisted, "Drink, Grandma drink!"
Zhao Yuru still wanted to ask Zhang, the divine doctor, but Tao Hongying walked in.
"Sister-in-law, give it to mother. Fu Niu won't harm her grandmother."
Zhao Yuru was unable to, so she could only help Tao Hongying pick up the elderly woman and feed her the whole half bowl of water.
I don't know if the water really worked, or if Lao Si Li's bloodletting was thorough enough, but by midnight, Old Lady Li didn't have a fever. Instead, she got up and drank half a bowl of congee.
The old and young of the Li family were all relieved, some sitting, some lying down, trying their best to close their eyes.
Even the lovely sound of music couldn't keep him going. He was so tired, he snuggled up next to his grandmother and fell asleep.
At this moment, the campsite is finally about to welcome a rare peace.
But no one knew that a greater danger was stealthily approaching.
A river gurgled and flowed in the distance, washing away the bloodstains left by a pig slaughter at the riverbank, then slowly carrying the bloody smell away...
