Chapter 322 322 Poisoned

"Master Li, madam, help, help!"

Lao Zhang yelled outside the door with his wife on his back, and when the door opened, he knelt down in front of the two of them.

Li Changhui was also taken aback, and hurriedly helped the two of them up, but Lao Zhang's daughter-in-law almost slipped off his back. Lin He quickly reached out to support him: "What's going on, let's make it clear first."

The couple were covered in mud. In this situation, it might not be as simple as wrestling. They probably fell directly into the paddy field.

Lin He only helped her a bit before realizing that something was wrong. Old Zhang's daughter-in-law's eyes were closed tightly, her body trembling slightly, and she looked very bad.

"Snake, my daughter-in-law was bitten by a snake while picking up eggs. It was a poisonous snake. She fainted when she came to find me. I want to ask Mr. Li to borrow a carriage to go to the doctor."

Lao Zhang was also worried about his daughter-in-law, so he hurriedly told the situation. In fact, there is one more thing, he wants some money, and he can only go to the doctor if he needs money.

Half of the people who were bitten by poisonous snakes died. If they were lucky, they could be rescued, but it would cost a lot of money, which he couldn't afford.

"What!" Lin He was startled, "Poisonous snake, what poisonous snake!"

"It's Black Spotted Bamboo Yeqing, Mrs. Zhang killed the snake and brought it with her."

As soon as Li Changhui stretched out his hand, he pulled a snake out of Zhang's wife's hand. His head was smashed, but his body was still wrapped around Zhang's wife's wrist.

Lin He didn't recognize the brown spots on the snake's body, but she felt that Li Changhui would not admit his mistake.

"Put Aunt Zhang down first, I'll go get something, you find the wound you were bitten on."

After speaking, he pushed aside the empty gatehouse, there was a clean little bed inside, and hurried back to the yard.

Lin He remembered Li Changhui's ability to prepare snake repellent before, and knew that he should have a way, so he quickly helped Aunt Zhang: "Put Aunt Zhang down first, don't worry, nothing will happen."

Having said that, I still feel a little confused.

Now Aunt Zhang is not only comatose and shivering, her body has also started to feel hot, and she even has symptoms of retching.

Lao Zhang had no other choice at the moment. He put his wife on the small wooden bed and wiped the muddy water on her face. Lin He gave him a handkerchief.

"The wound should be near the wrist and ankle, and the bend over to pick up eggs is relatively low. It should not be able to bite other places. Find and clean the wound first."

Old Zhang nodded again and again, and the two soon found two marks of fangs on Aunt Zhang's wrist, and the wound had already turned black.

Lin He was worried, and checked the other cuffs and trouser legs to make sure that there was only one wound here.

Li Changhui also came back soon, with a small teacup and a fire bag in his hand.

"Have you found the wound?" Li Changhui strode in, he had already opened the torch with his hand, and ignited it with a light blow.

"I found it, here, there is only one place, do you want to take drugs?"

Just now Lao Zhang wanted to take drugs directly by mouth, but Lin He was afraid that he would also be poisoned, so he refused to let him.

"No, Xiao He, go and help me get the pen and paper, I didn't have time just now."

While talking, he had already baked it in a cup with a torch, and Lin He understood that this was taking drugs by cupping, which was indeed much safer than taking drugs by mouth.

Seeing Li Changhui's calm appearance, Lin He was also relieved a lot.

This person had an accident while working in their house. If she couldn't be rescued, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.

The teacup was soon turned upside down on the snakebite wound, which was visible to the naked eye, and the surrounding skin was tightened, which shows that 'cupping' is still very useful.

Lin He didn't read any more, and hurried back to the study to get something. She reckoned that she was going to write a detoxification prescription.

When Lin He came back with his things, there was already a puddle of foul-smelling blood beside the bed, and the teacup that was used as a cupping pot was still on Aunt Zhang's wrist.

As he approached, Lin He said pleasantly, "It looks better."

Li Changhui took the pen and paper from Lin He's hand, and walked aside: "I'll go grab the medicine later, you stay here, Xiao He will help you boil some hot water, find some clean clothes, and Lao Zhang will change it for Auntie."

"Aunt Zhang needs to rest for a few days, so I will stay here for a few days first, and Xiaohe will give them the quilt later."

There is only a small bed here in their house now. Although it is a concierge, it is still quite spacious, and it is okay to stay for a few days.

Seeing that his daughter-in-law was fine, Li Changhui was so grateful that he wanted to help fetch the medicine himself, and bowed to the two of them persistently: "Thank you, Mr. Li, thank you, madam."

"You don't need to be so polite. My aunt was injured at our house after all. I'll get you a change of clothes first. You go inside with me and get some water. You guys should wipe your bodies first."

There's still mud all over his face.

Lin He found her and Li Changhui's old clothes. The size didn't fit them well, but they were barely wearable, at least they had no patches.

There happened to be hot water in the pot. In the case of Aunt Zhang, cold water could not be used, so Lin He asked Lao Zhang to drink hot water on purpose.

Lao Zhang went to the concierge to clean up the mud on himself and his wife. Li Changhui also wrote the prescription, but before going to get the medicine, Li Changhui went to the kitchen first.

"Most of the snake venom on Aunt Zhang's body has been sucked out. With Lao Zhang watching, you don't have to worry. I'll be back soon."

"Okay, you go and come back quickly."

Fortunately, it didn't rain, and their house was very close to the county seat, and the city wall could be seen from outside the gate.

However, Li Changhui still went to the stable to lead a horse out, which would be faster.

Lin He looked at the mess in the kitchen and let out a long sigh. There were a lot of things to do this morning, but what he wanted to do has not been completed yet.

I just want to make some mutton jerky, why is it so difficult?
After taking a big dustpan to the house, the hot water that was intended to clean the internal organs had already cooled down, so I covered the internal organs with a dustpan and pressed a big stone on top to avoid wild dogs in case.

When the rain stopped, the wild dogs and cats would all come out.

Thinking that Lao Zhang should be cleaning himself and his wife at this moment, Lin He went back to the kitchen and continued to process her mutton.

Li Changhui picked all the mutton just now, and he had to cut it into strips and marinate it with spices for an hour before he could start making jerky.

It's just that today may not be a good day for cooking food. The mutton strips are working hard, and I feel happy watching them, but someone outside is looking for them again.

"Madam, Madam, someone is looking for you outside, and they say they are here to return the things."

It was Lao Zhang who spoke, and he didn't enter the inner courtyard, but shouted loudly from the main room outside.

"return things?"

Lin He sighed and put down the kitchen knife and took off his apron. What's going on today, I just want to make a jerky mutton. How many times has this been disturbed?

She thought so in her heart, but she still walked out, she was also very curious, who is looking for her at this moment, and she doesn't remember borrowing something to go out?
