066 Getting closer to the mystery
066 is getting closer and closer to the mystery
"Whatever the outcome, I'll give you an answer by tomorrow night—"
This is the only thing she can commit to them at the moment, and in this limited day, she will make the most of it and do her best to find out the cause of the cattle.
Qizi patted her shoulder, "Doctor Li, that's going to trouble you~~"
Li Banxia hurriedly shook his head, "Brother Qizi, don't say that, I'm embarrassed and can't help you." ”
"If Dr. Xiao Li says such a thing, it will bother the two of us, and it will be very troublesome for you to let you come." The two of them are polite here, but the seventh sister-in-law is looking at her own cow bar and crying.
Qizi bumped the woman's arm, "Child, what are you doing, what are you crying about?" Our cow isn't dead yet. ”
"Doctor Li, it's not that I can't believe you, it's just that our cow doesn't know if I can wait until you come up with a way~~ Brother Nanxing and Sister-in-law Saihua's cow died before they lasted a day. Our cattle are not bigger than theirs, can I rest assured~~"
Li Banxia nodded, the seventh sister-in-law was right.
Although she could not diagnose the disease of the cattle now, she deduced that the cattle might have been poisoned, and she could do something about it. At the very least, it's better to do than to do nothing.
In modern times, if you are poisoned or mistakenly ingested any pesticides or poisonous things, you often do gastric lavage. Of course, there are no such instruments and medical equipment here, but the ancients have always had a method of inducing vomiting.
For example, if a person is poisoned, take the yellow of the person, dilute it, and feed it to him. The poisoned person vomited because of the smell, so he vomited a lot and vomited the toxins in his body.
Taking Renzhong Huang on cattle is obviously a bit unreliable. Li Banxia has always studied herbal medicine. I also know a few herbs that gush out. Today's situation is urgent, and I have to give it a try.
Li Banxia told his seventh son and seventh sister-in-law his idea, and the seventh sister-in-law also agreed to try. After all, there are precedents in front of you, and if you don't give it a try, the cow may die soon.
Before inducing vomiting on the cow, Li Banxia asked Qizi to take a prescription she prescribed and go to the medicine store to grab some medicine and come back. After inducing vomiting to the cow, it should be supplemented with the corresponding stomach clearing powder, antidote herbs and antiemetic powder. Otherwise, if the vomiting is successful, the loss of cattle will be huge, and the weak cattle are likely to die like this.
And the seventh sister-in-law. Before that, hurry to the kitchen and prepare the green onion soup. Green onion soup can stop vomiting, after inducing vomiting on the cow. A bowl of onion soup is essential.
Of course, there are many ways to induce vomiting and stop vomiting, but now that time is urgent, and the sanitary conditions in rural areas are poor, we can only think of the simplest and most primitive methods.
Both of them went outside to get busy. Li Banxia thought about the safety issues that should be paid attention to when inducing vomiting on cattle. Giving vomiting to animals is not like giving people, especially animals like cows and dogs, which are not to be underestimated, and they may be injured in the process.
Fortunately, there is a rope in the cattle pen, and in order to prevent the cattle from running around, they will usually tie a rope to the cows. Oxen, on the other hand, can only move as far as the rope can pull. As long as the person who induces vomiting is cautious and checks that the rope is firmly and strongly, there will be no problem.
During the period of waiting for the seventh son to return. Li Banxia didn't have anything to do, just looked around the yard.
The seventh sister-in-law is preparing green onion soup in the kitchen, the child is studying in the school, and the family has seven sons and seven sisters-in-law. Li Banxia had no one to take with him, and it was not convenient to run around. Just take a casual look in the yard.
Outside the cattle pen, there is a fence. Inside the fence is grass for the cows. The cattle have shelters above them to keep out the sun, and there is sand underneath them to keep the grass water.
Li Banxia remembered what the seventh son and the seventh sister-in-law said in the bullpen just now, and he put all his energy on Qingtan Ridge and the pool, but he forgot to pay attention to the grass cut every day.
However, this possibility is relatively low, because the mowing is near the door of the house, and it is generally not far. And almost every day to mow the grass is to go to so many places, if there is a problem with these grasses, then something should have happened a long time ago, and there is no need to wait until today.
And that Qingtan Ridge is where the people in the village have only recently found, and coincidentally, several families have gone wrong there to graze cattle. This is not a simple coincidence, and the connection is intriguing.
However, a very low probability does not mean that there is no possibility at all, and many things happen largely because of almost impossible events with a very low probability. It's fine here anyway, so it's okay to see.
Li Banxia bent down, took out a handful of grass, pinched it in his hand and looked at it carefully.
These grasses are the most common thatch and some aquatic plants on the side of the ridges, and the cows eat this, so I can't see any difference.
Li Banxia put this one back, continued to take it out, and stretched out his hand to remove the grass around him, wanting to see it clearly.
The seventh sister-in-law came out with a basin of water, and saw Li Banxia looking at the grass, so she came over and asked, "Little Doctor Li, I see that you have been staring at these grasses, could it be that there is something wrong with this grass?" ”
"Oh~~ No, I'm just idle, just take a look~~" Li Banxia put back the handful of grass, turned around and said to the seventh sister-in-law.
The husband and wife of the seventh son and the seventh sister-in-law are a little different from other couples.
The seventh sister-in-law is a child daughter-in-law, five years older than her man. Li Banxia is one year older than the seventh son and four years younger than the seventh sister-in-law, so this title is a little awkward.
However, although the seventh son is not very old, he is a young man, and those who generally don't know their situation will never guess that the seventh sister-in-law is older than the seventh son, and there is a difference of five years.
The seventh sister-in-law is a diligent and virtuous woman, and the parents of the seventh son left very early, and she single-handedly pulled the seventh son to grow up, so the relationship between the two has always been very good.
The seventh sister-in-law saw that Li Banxia must have thought of something, but she didn't tell her. Fortunately, she can't help with this matter, but I hope that Dr. Li can find out the cause of her cattle as soon as possible and save the cow.
"Dr. Li, let's go to the house to sit outside-"
"Okay." Li Banxia nodded, followed into the house, the seventh sister-in-law poured tea for her, and fried the pumpkin seeds that had been left at home for a long time in a hot pot, brought Li Banxia a plate, and let her sit and eat slowly.
Li Banxia couldn't shirk it, and when she saw her take out the melon seeds, she knew that she was going to fry them for her to eat, and after pulling with her for a long time, she still couldn't pull her.
I heard my mother say that this seventh sister-in-law is a warm person, and she is very polite when she arrives at home, and there are many courtesies, and today Li Banxia can be regarded as having seen it.
However, no matter how well the seventh sister-in-law covered it up, Li Banxia still noticed the deep sorrowful line at the corner of the seventh sister-in-law's eyebrows-
Li Banxia sat in the house and chatted with her seventh sister-in-law while munching on pumpkin seeds, and the topic still revolved around the handfuls of grass she saw just now.
"Seventh sister-in-law, when was the grass next to the cowpen cut?"
"It was cut yesterday afternoon, when the child's father was herding cattle." Mowing grass was originally near the house, but yesterday it was the child's father who went to herd the cattle and let the cows graze on the ground, so he took the time to cut a few handfuls of grass. This way, you can save a little time and do something else.
"When the cattle were grazing, they were cut...... In other words, that grass is the grass on the Cheongdam Ridge? Li Banxia suddenly raised his voice and said.
“…… Oh, yes. What's wrong, Dr. Li? The seventh sister-in-law was startled by her, Li Banxia put down the handful of melon seeds she was holding in her hand and ran straight to the fence outside the bullpen.
Grabbed out a few handfuls of grass inside, Li Banxia untied the grass tied to the grass and spread a handful of vegetables on the ground. Then I looked at it one by one, trying to find something unusual.
For some reason, Li Banxia had a strong feeling that she was getting closer and closer to the end of the mystery-
There is no problem with the first, there is no problem with the second, and the third is also not, and when it comes to the fourth, Li Banxia finally sees a different grass.
This is...... Honeysuckle?
How can there be honeysuckle in the grass? Did you cut the grass too quickly and accidentally brought it in?
Thinking about it, it should be like this, it is not unusual to have two flowers in a handful of grass.
But something felt wrong, she was very familiar with honeysuckle, and although this grass was very similar to honeysuckle, there were subtle differences.
First of all, the leaf texture of this grass is leathery, and the leaf surface is smooth, a bit like our common holly (large-leaved boxwood). Honeysuckle, on the other hand, has papery leaves and dull leaves.
Li Banxia looked carefully at the things he was holding in his hand and touched it with his hand, the touch was very good, and the leaf surface was smooth. The texture of the leaves is really different from that of honeysuckle.
Secondly, this grass is different from the honeysuckle flowers, this grass flower is apical or axillary, and the flowers are trifid branched umbrella inflorescences. Honeysuckle flowers are axillary and generally appear in pairs.
The affirmation in Li Banxia's heart deepened a little.
In addition, the color and shape of the flowers are different, and this grass flower is funnel-shaped, with a combined petal flower and a length of 1~1.6 cm. The corolla lip shape of honeysuckle is a petal-shaped flower, the flower tube is more slender, and the flowers are smaller than this grass.
And the flowers of honeysuckle are white when they first bloom, and they become golden after one or two days, the old and the new are coherent, and the yellow and white are set off, so it is called "honeysuckle".
Thinking of this, Li Banxia could almost conclude that this grass was not honeysuckle.
Something flashed through her mind as soon as she thought of it, but when she tried to catch it, she fled without a trace.
Li Banxia held her chin and stared at this grass, always feeling that she recognized this grass, strange, why didn't she remember~~
After thinking about it for a long time, the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't come up with a clue, so Li Banxia had to put away the grass, wrap it in a handkerchief and put it in his arms.
This grass should be brought back and studied slowly, and maybe something will be rewarded.
Li Banxia finished reading the grass, tied them up again, and put them in the fence. patted his chest, entered the house, and waited for the seven brothers to come back from buying medicine.
Li Banxia, who was chatting attentively with her seventh sister-in-law while munching on melon seeds, would never have imagined that the honeysuckle-like grass in her arms almost caused an irreparable disaster for her-
