Chapter 48: Mushroom Poison

"Mushrooms? Miss today hasn't eaten mushrooms...... By the way, Miss ate mushrooms at lunch yesterday, but those mushrooms were specially screened and absolutely non-toxic, how could it be? ”

Qingxi choked up with red eyes and thought about it, but he really couldn't figure out how Ran Qiunian could be poisoned.

"If it was eaten yesterday's lunch, then it would not be possible for Miss to poison today. I look at the pulse of the young lady, it should be poisoned by the red umbrella, after the poison is entered, it will be poisoned within an hour, and the person will be unconscious. It must have been something that I ate today to poison Miss. ”

Doctor Chang shook his head, a little strange.

When the old lady heard this, her face suddenly became a little bad, but she still suppressed the anxiety in her heart first, and asked Doctor Chang about Ran Qiunian's state.

"Doctor Chang, let's not mention how Nian'er got the poison, I just ask you, is there a way to solve this poison?"

When Doctor Chang heard this, he was a little difficult, but he didn't hide it, and spoke bluntly to the old lady.

"Miss's poisoning is not deep, and it can be solved. It's just that there is a special antidote to this mushroom poison, which is the snake gall of a golden-spotted snake in the mountains and forests, but unfortunately I don't have any extra snake gall in my hands. ”

"Then send someone to look for it in the mountains and forests, and dig three feet into the ground to find this golden-spotted snake."

The old lady was resolute and was about to beckon someone to go to the mountain to catch snakes, but she heard Doctor Chang sigh and continue.

"The golden-spotted snake is not a rare thing, but this snake only haunts the mountains and forests after autumn, and now it is like looking for a needle in a haystack to look for it in the mountains at this time."

When the old lady heard this, she immediately became anxious, she looked at Doctor Chang and asked repeatedly: "Then go to the Chinese medicine store in the city to buy, search for the medicine shops in the whole city, and ask for medicine with a lot of money." ”

"Old lady, if this is the case to get the snake gall of the golden spotted snake, the old man will not have such a word."

Doctor Chang shook his head, his eyes unbearable.

What does Dr. Chang mean by this? Didn't you say that this blobled snake is not a rare thing, and we can't buy it even with a lot of money? ”

Qingxi listened to it and couldn't help but speak out in a hurry, the old lady didn't blame, and looked at Doctor Chang with the same inquiring eyes.

"The golden spotted snake is not rare, but the one that can detoxify the mushroom poison needs to be fresh snake gall bladder, otherwise the symptoms will not be cured, and the poison cannot be completely lifted, and the lady will wake up and be weak, palpitations and drowsiness, and the loss is great."

This fell into a dead end, the old lady took two steps back with some unstable shape, and Ginkgo hurriedly stepped forward to support, her eyes were worried, if something really happened to the young lady, I am afraid that the old lady would also collapse.

"Old lady, please let your subordinates go into the mountains to find the golden spotted snake."

Xiu Gu, who was watching the sleeping Ran Qiu on the bed and hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly stepped forward and half-knelt at the old lady's feet, her eyes firm.

"Okay, you immediately take someone into the mountains to look for it. Ginkgo, send someone to the major pharmacies in the city to spread the news, whoever has fresh golden-spotted snake gall, no matter how much money it spends, he has to buy it back for me. ”

The old lady's expression eased, looking at the resolute look in Xiugu's eyes, she slowly regained some composure, she methodically commanded everyone to find medicine, and at the end, she instructed Doctor Chang.

"Even so, give it a try. My Nian Erfu has a great life, and I will never be defeated by a little mushroom. Doctor Chang, Nian'er has to worry more about you here, be sure to ensure that my Nian'er is safe and sound before the snake gall is found. ”

"Don't worry, old lady, you and I are gracious, and I will do my best to save Miss. It's just that Miss is in such a situation now, without eating or drinking, it may be difficult to survive three days, and the snake gall will be sent as soon as possible. ”

Doctor Chang sighed and got up to prescribe medicine for Ran Qiunian.

Now that the toxin has just entered the body, and the poisoned person can still swallow it, Dr. Chang wants to prepare a medicine for Ran Qiunian to slow down the spread of the poison.

The longer the next time dragged on, the more difficult it was for Ran Qiunian to accept the decoction fed by the outside world, and he could only rely on him to use golden needles to control the acupoints and barely survive.

Needless to say more from Doctor Chang, the old lady also knew that the longer the time dragged on, the more serious the damage to Ran Qiunian's body would be, but at this time, all they could do was wait.

After arranging the search for an antidote for Ran Qiunian, the old lady left the house and went to stand in the courtyard. She lowered her face and called Qingxi closer with a serious face.

"Qingxi, you are the most useful by Nian'er's side, her food, clothing, housing and transportation are all handled by you, let me ask you, what did she eat before taking a nap today? But what's out of the ordinary? ”

When Qingxi heard this, his face suddenly turned pale, and he bit his lip and meditated: "Miss is no different from usual today, it's too hot, and she doesn't have much appetite, except for breakfast and lunch, she hasn't eaten much......"

"What I eat every day is no different from Nian'er, they are all sent by the small kitchen together, since I don't have anything, Nian'er must have eaten something extra. Qingxi, think about it, what else did Nian'er eat today in addition to the usual things? ”

The old lady's words narrowed down the scope at once.

Ran Qiunian is not greedy on weekdays, and it is summer, the weather is so hot that people's appetite is greatly reduced, and even those small snacks in the past are eaten less, Yiqingxi quickly found out what Ran Qiunian had eaten extra.

"Special? Slave maid think...... By the way, the slave remembered that the young lady was too hot for lunch, so the small kitchen made an extra cup of lotus seed soup for the young lady to cool off, but there was no need for mushrooms in the lotus seed soup? ”

In any case, she finally had some eyebrows, and when the old lady heard this, she directly asked people to check.

"Who made the lotus seed soup, and who did it go through? Go check it out and bring the soup cook for questioning. ”

"There is also the lotus seed soup that Nian'er ate for lunch, go and check if there is any left, and bring the pottery urn for boiling soup with you, and let Dr. Chang check it."

The grandmother calmly instructed her subordinates to do it.

Although Qingxi also wanted to ask in person whether it was the cook who had accidentally eaten the poisonous red umbrella for Ran Qiunian, she couldn't rest assured of the people in the house, and left her to take care of Ran Qiunian who was unconscious.

The old lady felt distressed when she looked at Ran Qiunian who was lying on the bed and didn't know anyone, and she hated the villain who dared to poison Ran Qiunian, if she wanted to find out who was secretly harming her behind her back, whether intentionally or unintentionally, she would have to pay the price for that person.

Ran Susu should have left the villa after poisoning Ran Qiunian, so as not to set himself on fire after the incident. But she was full of hatred and unwilling to leave before the results came out, so she waited in the small kitchen, waiting for a result that satisfied her.

"At lunchtime, who made the lotus seed soup that Miss drank?"

Ran Susu hid to the side, watched the maid next to the old lady come over with people, and asked all the cooks present meaninglessly.

"It's me, it's me, Miss's soup was boiled for a full hour, and I personally sent it, Miss still likes it?"

The cook thought that Ran Qiunian was extremely satisfied with the lotus seed soup, and specially called someone to come over to send a reward, after all, this is not the first time this kind of thing has happened, in the past, she only had red eyes, but she didn't expect that it would be her turn today, and she suddenly stepped forward to claim it with joy.

"So you were the one who poisoned Miss? Someone came, tied her up for me, brought her back, and the pottery urn she used at noon, and took it away. ”

The maid's words made the cook directly frightened to the ground, but she was quickly grabbed and tied up tightly by the servants who came to tie people up.

"It's not me, it's not me, it's really not me who poisoned Miss, how dare I poison Miss? Wronged, wronged! ”

The sound of the cook's struggle and shouting gradually faded away, and Ran Susu waited in the corner for everyone to leave, and then stood up contentedly.

Ran Qiunian, I think you can turn over this time? Thinking that Ran Qiunian was about to completely disappear from this world, Ran Susu couldn't help but smile excitedly.

She took advantage of the fact that the other cooks in the small kitchen were still discussing whether the person who was taken away had been poisoned, and quietly left, taking advantage of the stalls in and out of the house to send people to ask for medicine, and mixed out of the summer resort.

When the old lady asked from the cook who the other person who had taken over the lotus seed soup was, the maid and servant woman who had been sent to the small kitchen to arrest people pounced on her.

"Old lady, in this urn where lotus seed soup is boiled, there is indeed a residue of mushroom poison."

Doctor Chang put down the pottery urn, wiped the silver needle on his hand, and gave an accurate answer.

"I hate to let the treacherous servant escape, go and continue to investigate for me, dig three feet into the ground to catch this slut who dares to poison Nian'er."

The old lady slapped the table angrily, and wanted to drive the cook who made lotus seed soup out of Zhuangzi directly, but considering that the matter had not yet come to light, she was afraid that she would be misplaced, so she asked the cook to be locked in the firewood room and wait for the delivery.

Towards the end of the evening, Ran Qiu read the news of the accident, and the well-informed people basically already knew about it.

Thinking of the Ran family's status in Splendid City, those who wanted to sell favors also helped to start buying fresh snake gall bladders everywhere, but unfortunately this thing was not in season, even if it cost more silver, it would be priceless.

The old lady was anxious and angry, and it was almost difficult to swallow dinner. It was getting late, and the mountains were almost out of sight, and those who entered the mountains had to come back with nothing.

Facing the disappointed eyes of the old lady and Ran Qiunian who was gradually weakening on the bed, Xiu Gu's face was a little ugly, and after returning to the old lady, she stood up and continued to walk out.

"It's so late, where are you going?"

The old lady asked tiredly, but heard Xiugu's voice come muffledly: "Go into the mountain and look for the golden spotted snake." ”

"It's so late, what else can you see in the mountains? Ah Xiu, you go and rest first, you're tired all day, and you'll go again tomorrow morning. ”

Seeing the reluctance in Xiugu's eyes, the old lady sighed and persuaded earnestly.

"I know you're anxious, and when I see Nian'er like this, I can't sleep at night. But we can't mess around, Nian'er is still waiting for us to save her. Let's go back and rest, and go back into the mountains tomorrow morning. ”

Xiu Gu also knew that entering the mountain at this time was full of dangers, and she couldn't see anything, and it was in vain to go there. But she didn't dare to stop for a moment, for fear that it would be too late for a while.

But Xiu Gu couldn't bear to worry about the old lady who was in a coma Ran Qiunian, and she had to worry about herself who insisted on going into the mountain overnight, so she had to obey the old lady and go back to her room to rest for the time being.
