067 "Ploughing Cattle Killer" hook kiss

More than half an hour later, the seventh son came back with what Li Banxia needed.

"Doctor Li, I've already got back what you wanted, can we start now?" Qizi ran sweating profusely, but in his words: For our cattle, no matter how tired it is, it's worth it!

"Brother Qizi, take an extra rope and tie your cow a little tighter. The process of inducing vomiting was very difficult, and I was afraid that the ox would break free of the rope and hurt people. Also, tie all four of its legs so you don't get kicked and hurt anyone. "If the cows were willing to eat on their own, it would save a lot of trouble.

The seventh son agreed, found a hemp rope in the house, and went to the bullpen to tie the ox again. He also tied the rope in a knot and tied the four legs of the ox.

At the same time, the seventh sister-in-law carefully brought a pot of rice soup, and the soup was filled with a few medicinal herbs that Li Banxia asked the seventh son to buy.

Guati, Changshan, and quinoa, these three herbs can induce vomiting, but those who are weak should not use them. Although this cow is not to the point of physical weakness, for the sake of safety, Li Banxia gave a smaller dose.

The three of them came to the cowpen with the rice soup and put it in front of the cow for him to drink.

The cow was lying on the ground with a few handfuls of grass thrown beside it, and it hadn't eaten anything since last night.

The rice soup was placed in front of it for a while, and it didn't move. In desperation, I had to give it a drink and let it drink.

Qizi opened the cow's mouth, and Li Banxia took the rice soup and poured it into his mouth. After pouring in the rice soup, the cow's mouth was closed, and the two of them quickly retreated from the cow pen.

After a cup of tea, the cow began to vomit.

There was a lot of movement in the barn, and the loud sound of vomiting could be heard clearly outside.

After waiting for another half an hour, Li Banxia saw that it was almost time, and brought the green onion soup prepared by the seventh sister-in-law in the morning. According to the previous method, the cow was allowed to drink, and the vomiting slowly stopped.

After this vomiting, the old cow lay on the ground. Motionless. Although it seemed that the cow was even more depressed, the convulsions on its body slowly subsided, and there was no foam coming out of its mouth.

It seems that this method still has some effect.

The seventh son and the seventh sister-in-law also found out, and a glimmer of hope secretly rose in their hearts.

After the cow induces vomiting, Li Banxia will have nothing to do if she stays here, she has to quickly find out the cause of the cow, and then prescribe the right medicine.

Before leaving, I asked the seventh sister-in-law to prepare some more delicious food for the cow and put it aside. When the cow's spirit recovers, he may eat something. Replenish your stamina.

After noon, the cattle of the Seven Sons family finally got up from the ground and ate a little. Ate only a little bit though. The seventh son and the seventh sister-in-law still jumped up with joy.

Especially the seventh son, he also deliberately went to the medicine house to tell Li Banxia the good news.

Li Banxia was also happy for them, and on the other hand, he added another layer of pressure to his heart, thinking that he must do his best. Rescue their cattle.

Li Banxia came out of the seventh son's house and went straight to the medicine house, Zhao Langzhong went to the outside clinic, and he couldn't discuss with him, so Li Banxia had to find out the cause by himself.

In the afternoon, she went to Nanxing and Saihua's house. Find out what happened two days before and after the death of their cattle. The news I got was exactly the same as what I saw at Qizi's house, which at least concluded that these cattle were caused by the same cause.

After that, she flipped through a lot of medical classics in Zhao Langzhong's library. There's also the Poison Sutra or something. It was getting dark, so Li Banxia said to Chuanwu, took these books back, and planned to read them at night.

When Li Banxia returned home, it was already dark. The rest of the family has also returned. are all waiting for Li Banxia to eat.

Liu Dongshan saw Li Banxia bring back a stack of books, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her move the books into the house.

When eating. Li Banxia told the big guy what happened today, and as soon as Ma heard that it was a big deal to save the cow, he asked Li Banxia to go back to his house and go busy with himself after eating.

Li Banxia hurriedly ate a few bites of food, then ran back to his house and looked through them one by one.

The pine oil lamp lit in ancient times, the light was very small, and Li Banxia's eyes were almost pasted on the paper to see what words were written on it. Fortunately, the characters in this era are not very complicated, and they are not much different from modern simplified characters, otherwise Li Banxia would have become half illiterate, and it would not be easy to gnaw on these books.

When Liu Dongshan pushed the door and came in, Li Banxia was leaning back on the chair and rubbing his eyes. Thinking that this is not a solution, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and such a small firelight is dazzling.

"If you're tired of watching, rest for a while, the night is still long, don't be in a hurry." Liu Dongshan didn't know when he came behind Li Banxia, holding a cup of tea in his hand and putting it in front of Li Banxia.

Li Banxia took it with a smile, opened the lid of the tea, and was just about to drink it, when a fresh fragrance filled his nose.

"...... this?"

"This is honeysuckle tea, you just brewed it for me last time, did you forget?" Liu Dongshan is funny, she is really busy and confused, and she can't even smell honeysuckle tea.

Li Banxia covered the tea lid, put the cup on the table again, and let out a long sigh.

"Hey! ――”

"What's up, this is?" Liu Dongshan asked.

"I also saw a grass that looked so much like honeysuckle, I should have recognized it, but I couldn't remember anything." Li Banxia shook his head, at the end of this day, his head was about to hurt.

Liu Dongshan didn't squeak, frowning and thinking about something.

Li Banxia didn't care either, and said to himself: "I found this grass that looks like honeysuckle in the grass that the seventh son's family gave to the cow today. I could tell it wasn't honeysuckle, but I couldn't figure out what it was called. Or maybe the recent spate of cattle deaths in the village is related to this grass......"

Liu Dongshan's eyes flickered, as if he thought of something.

"But like I said, 'maybe', maybe it's just an ordinary piece of grass that has nothing to do with the dead cow. Who knows? Anyway, I don't have a clue...... Yes! My head is about to crack, I'm scared~~"

Li Banxia hugged her head and yelled, it's really annoying, everyone else's cattle are dying, she has no way at all.

Liu Dongshan suddenly smiled, "It looks very similar to honeysuckle, what do you want to say is the broken intestine grass?" ”

"Broken intestine grass? …… Right! Yeah! It's the Broken Intestine Grass! How did I forget, that grass is the broken intestine grass! Li Banxia got up from the stool and walked around the room. As he walked, he turned back to Liu Dongshan and said, "I remember when I was a child, I still used this broken intestine grass...... No, what's our name there...... Hook kiss, yes, hook kiss. I took the hook kiss for honeysuckle and picked it back to make tea. My grandfather was frightened when he saw this, and immediately put away the grass, and told me that this grass should not be touched or eaten. ”

Liu Dongshan looked at Li Banxia, who was wilting one moment ago, and immediately became lively the next moment, smiling and shaking his head. However, when he heard the word "grandpa" in Li Banxia's mouth, a question couldn't help but rise in his heart: as far as he knew, this Banxia's grandfather died of a stroke before she was born, so who was the grandfather she was talking about at this time?

Li Banxia was excited, he didn't think about it so much at all, he just said vigorously, "Found it, found it, found the cause~~"

As soon as it is prompted, many things come to mind.

The name of the broken intestine grass, Li Banxia has still heard of it.

In modern times, there have also been many homicides caused by broken intestine grass, such as the poisoning case of hot pot, where broken intestine grass was mixed into hot pot, causing the death of others. There was also a problem with honeysuckle herbal tea, which was determined to be a broken intestine grass, so many people died.

It's just that Li Banxia has never encountered this situation in her life, and she only heard her grandfather talk about it when she was a child, so her memory is slow and she can't remember it for a while.

She vaguely remembered that her grandfather said that people who were hit by the broken intestine grass were not without solutions, and they hurriedly poured fresh sheep blood to detoxify. It just sounds a bit dramatic, and I don't know if it's true or not.

Thinking that it was the Broken Intestine Grass, Li Banxia spent the rest of his time focusing on finding records about the Broken Intestine Grass.

After two hours of reading, Li Banxia finally had another layer of understanding of this broken intestine grass.

The ancient Broken Intestine Grass is different from the Broken Intestine Grass in the modern general sense.

In the modern sense, "Broken Intestine Grass" is not the scientific name of a plant, but a general name for a group of plants. There are different kinds of bowel-breaking grass in different places - those plants that are highly poisonous, can cause vomiting and other digestive reactions, and can kill people, seem to be labeled as "gut breakers".

For example, the wolf venom of the Ruixiang family, the aconitum of the buttercup family, and the tripterygium wilfordii of the euonymus family are all members of the "Broken Gut Grass Family". Among these poisons, the most famous is the hook kiss of the genus Machampa. There is also a saying that the broken intestine grass is called hook kiss in the south, and in the north, it is called wolf poison.

And the poisonous weed that I love to encounter today is the hook kiss in the south.

Hook kiss, as soon as you hear the name, you know that this is by no means a good stubble. Hook is a perennial evergreen vine of the family Nux Nux family. Its main toxic substances are alkaloids such as hook and vine line. The roots are pale yellow and have a sweet taste. It is poisonous all over the body, especially the roots and leaves are the most toxic. It is mostly found next to villages, roadsides, and in grass or bushes on hillsides. Medicinal whole herb, can be harvested all year round.

It has been recorded that if the intestines are swallowed by mistake, the intestines will turn black and sticky, and people will die of abdominal pain.

Legend has it that when Shennong tasted herbs, he encountered a kind of vine with opposite leaves, with small pale yellow flowers. He picked a few young leaves and put them in his mouth to taste, and as soon as he chewed and swallowed them, he was very poisonous, and before he could eat the antidote, Shennong's intestines had been broken into a small piece, a small section. This kind of rattan that made Shennong die of broken intestines is called "broken intestine grass".

This legend of "leaf broken intestines" is a bit too dramatic, if it were not for the sharp blades or strong acids and alkalis, our intestines would not have broken into several knots in an instant.

Therefore, in the general modified version of folklore, the attribute of the broken intestine grass has been changed to "after eating, the intestines will turn black and sticky, and people will die of abdominal pain".

From this point of view, this "cattle killer" lurking in the village is undoubtedly this broken grass.
