Chapter 19: The Lost Soul
In the crowd not far from Lu Fan, a woman in her thirties was crying at a loss, and many people ran over with the voice, only to hear people talking about a child who had fainted and didn't know what was going on.
Lu Fan leaned over to take a look, only to see the woman squatting on the ground, holding a five or six-year-old boy in her arms. The boy was on his back, pale, breathing weakly, and on the top of his head was a red abscess the size of a glass sphere, which grew larger as his breathing shrunk.
A couple of doctors in white coats were pointing at them, and one of them said, "It's strange, I've never heard of such chilblains in the summer." At this temperature, let alone chilblains, people's scalps are going to be sunburned. β
Another female doctor put her hands behind her back and said, "Yes, I also think it is strange that with my more than 30 years of experience in medicine, I can't see a reason. β
The old man secretly thought that this son could not live. The evil nature of this disease, now this child's pulse is weak, like a gossamer, the meridians on the top of his head are blocked, his throat is full of blood, and he can't live when he runs out of oil, and the old man just wonders, how can this onset of disease so quickly?" said a pedantic doctor with thick-bottomed glasses and a wrinkled face, shaking his head and chewing his words.
"What's the use of a few of you just talking here, why don't you save people, is this the heart of your doctor's parents?" At this time, a girl suddenly rushed out of the crowd and said very dissatisfiedly: "Since this child is not dead, you doctors must do your best, and now is not the time for you to discuss academic issues." β
"This girl's words are wrong, this son is obviously hopeless, and we are helpless, you don't know the truth when you first arrive, how can you criticize indiscriminately, young people are really too disagreeable. The old pedant blew his beard angrily and glared, and said dissatisfied.
"It's just that you're not right. The girl hurriedly squatted down and said to the desperate young woman, "Sister, let me come and see the child, I am a medical student, and I may be able to help." β
"The doctors have already called me 120, but the ambulance hasn't come yet. They are the resident doctor of the scenic spot, and they said that they have no equipment and can't help me, what can you do?" the young woman sobbed, her eyes glazed over, and she was obviously a little insane.
The girl ignored her and went directly to see the child, and suddenly lost her voice when she saw it: "Freezing, chilblains, really, really, chilblains, this, how is this possible, summer, chilblains-"
"Young man, now you know, it's not that we don't want to do our best, it's really helpless, and the arrogance of our young age is really unreasonable. β
"That's it, if you don't investigate, you don't have the right to speak, just now I said it righteously and strictly, but now I have to find a way to come out. β
"This disease is inherently evil, and I don't see any hope. The female doctor said, rolling her eyes.
"Eldest sister, you hold the child's head, I will give him first aid, try to get pus and blood in his throat, otherwise he will not be able to hold on to the ambulance. The girl didn't hear it, but quickly took first aid measures. It seems that she is planning to use her mouth to suck the child's blood.
"Wait!" At this time, Lu Fan walked out and said to the girl: "You treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and it may backfire, and even you yourself will be infected." β
"How can chilblains be infected, don't-" The girl who raised her head in a hurry suddenly changed her face and said in surprise: "Hey, why are you?"
"Qian Duoduo, do me a favor and hold this child's head. Lu Fan hurriedly took off his backpack and put it on the ground, then squatted down and pressed the boy's stomach, only to hear the sound of gurgling like a toad.
"You haven't answered my question yet, how is chilblains infected?" Qian Duoduo asked subconsciously while holding the child's head.
"It's not chilblains. Lu Fan opened the child's palm with a serious face, and saw that there were three fingers on his right hand, which were slightly red and swollen: "The child is poisoned, this is a lost soul!"
"I haven't heard of it, this is obviously chilblains, where did this mallet come from, do you have a medical certificate, how old are you, so I ran out to deceive, hey, I said, this is not your time to put on a show, and you will have a good look at it later, take out your ID card, otherwise I will call the police." The female doctor snapped.
"ID card for you!" For fear that he would delay his own rescue, Lu Fan left his ID card on the ground, and then took out a box of silver needles from his schoolbag. He didn't explain what the Lost Soul Guide was, and even Qian Duoduo was suspicious of him, but looking at his serious face, it really didn't look like a show.
What's more, he is brave in front of him, and Qian Duoduo naturally trusts him a little, so he didn't stop it, although others are talking about it, but it's just to watch the excitement. Even the female doctor said that she was going to call the police, but she didn't call until now.
Lu Fan took out a three-inch-long silver needle, and without any exaggerated movements and sounds, it was directly inserted into the boy's palm, and then he pricked a needle behind his ear, then stood up and walked to the side of the road, seemingly picking two green plants at random, crumpling them in the palm of his hand, and stuffing them into the boy's mouth indiscriminately.
"Hey, you want to kill my son?"
Just when the woman's face turned pale with fright, the child's throat, which had been immobile, suddenly let out a grunt, and then released a particularly large stinky fart. Everyone else avoided it, only Lu Fan and Qian Duoduo were the mothers, and it didn't happen.
Lu Fan hurriedly moved the child's neck away, pulled out one of the silver needles behind the neck, after the silver needles were gone, with a fishy smell, sticky black blood flowed out closely, and it was strange to say that the "chilblains" on the top of the child's head had shrunk a little, and his face looked much better, and even his breathing showed signs of smoothness.
Lu Fan nodded, and quickly pulled out the second needle, the situation was the same as just now, with the flow of black blood, the "chilblains" shrank even more, and the original red and shiny color also became dull, not so terrifying and scary.
"Little brother, I, my son, my son, he's much better, much better, is it okay-" The young woman looked at Lu Fan with surprise and joy and said.
"I can't say that yet, I'm pushing out when he spits out the blood in his throat. As he spoke, Lu Fan inserted two silver needles into the palms of the child's hands, and suddenly the child's stomach made a gurgling toad-like sound again, and after retching twice, his head tilted and squirted out green juice outward. When I sprayed it for the third time, the bag on the child's head disappeared.
"Okay, your child is fine, this eldest sister can take a picture of my ID card, I'm going up the mountain now." Later, the ambulance will come, and you will accompany him to the hospital and take good care of him. With a little bit of nutrition, you'll be fine tomorrow. Lu Fan stood up and patted the soil on his hand and said.
"Mom, Mom, I, I'm hungry!"
"Xiaoqiang, you, are you awake?" the child's mother cried with joy.
Lu Fan also looked at the child who had just opened his eyes, smiled and said: "Children, don't pick wild flowers in the mountains casually in the future, remember that the more gorgeous flowers they are, the more toxic they are, and it's the same for people, no matter when, you can't just look at the appearance." β
"Remembered. Xiaoqiang said a little weakly.
Lu Fan picked up his backpack and walked away, and when he walked out for five minutes, he suddenly turned around and said, "Come out, don't follow secretly, I've seen you a long time ago." β
"Hey, I'm sorry. Qian Duoduo shyly ran out from behind a rock, walked in front of Lu Fan in three steps and two steps, bowed his head and said with a red face: "I, I am, hey, I'm curious, no, I want to thank you, for myself, for that kid just now." I wanted to keep you yesterday, ah, noβ"
"It's a pity not to say it sooner. Lu Fan looked at Qian Duoduo's pretty face and licked his tongue very obscenely. Qian Duoduo grinned: "I know you're joking with me, and I didn't mean that, so since we are so fateful, can we travel to Longshan together today." β
"Then you're not afraid of what I'm trying to do to you, this deep mountain and old forestβ" Lu Fan smiled evilly.
"Don't be afraid. Qian Duoduo smiled: "I know that you are a good person, but I am a lot more at ease when I am escorted by my side, and I can concentrate on taking pictures and writing papers." β
"But I'm not so convenient, goodbye. "Have fun, Lu Fan came to Longshan this time, but he has a task, what's the matter with such a burden. So he smiled, quickly took two quick steps, and disappeared into the sea of clouds in front of him in a blink of an eye.
"What a weirdo. Qian Duoduo blinked in disappointment: "Fortunately, I know where your school is, and you can't run away." β
The mountains in front are all tall trees, the variety is very numerous, in the middle of summer, it is the situation of luxuriant branches and leaves, the birds and insects sing all around, the light and shadow are mottled, swaying and vivid, the scenery is very moving.
Lu Fan inhaled the air twice with his nose, looked back at the Yaowang Temple standing on the hillside, and subconsciously said: "Strange, looking at the environment here, it is not suitable for the survival of the cockscomb snake, how can it grow such harmful flowers and plants as 'Lost Soul Attraction'?"
Along the way, Lu Fan has always been very puzzled, generally speaking, the highly poisonous cockscomb snake will only grow in the primeval forest, and where there are people on SLR, they will avoid it. And the kind of very beautiful soul-lost guide, so beautiful that it can make people's souls leave the body, is a small flower that grows up in poisonous water after the cockscomb snake lays eggs. It looks colorful and graceful, but in fact, if you touch it, you will be poisoned.
Lu Fan met a few groups on the road and asked them about the nearest way to the medicine garden, but he didn't walk with them because they were too slow.
"Brother, how can there be a sweet smell here, like a gardenia, so fresh, I like it so much. It's a wonderland on earth. At this time, a girl suddenly slapped her face happily and said such a sentence.
When Lu Fan saw it, it turned out to be two young men and women who looked extremely similar, and at a glance, he knew that they were a pair of brothers and sisters, and they were probably exactly the same age as himself.
"Sister, I want to cry so much. The boy suddenly began to sob.
"Why, I feel so happy, I want to sing and dance. β
At first, Lu Fan didn't pay much attention to it, but suddenly, the sweet gardenia-like fragrance also wafted into his nostrils.
"Oh no! hold your breath!" he shouted.
