Chapter 3 Ergot Mushrooms
The ambulance took the injured to the hospital, and the traffic police collected evidence from the scene and quickly came to a conclusion.
It was the driver of that luxury sports car who was racing and lost control and crashed into the car on the opposite side.
A young traffic policeman muttered: "Coming out in the middle of the night to drag racing, it's really looking for death." ”
In fact, since the popularization of unmanned driving 50 years ago, people who like to control the steering wheel themselves have either gone to the racing track or come out at night to find an empty lane and take a few laps to have a good time.
For example, why does he want to be a traffic policeman, that is, he likes to drag racing without scruples when he goes out to the police. Otherwise, why do you have to go to work, isn't it nice to receive benefits at home and watch football and play games every day?
"Let's do things, look at this car, look at this brand, and you will know who someone's child is." The slightly older traffic policeman gestured with his chin to the license plate number.
Yes. The domineering seven eights are clearly announcing the owner of this car.
The Fang family, the large square half of the city, it is said that almost half of the industry in this city belongs to the Fang family, or is related to the Fang family. Moreover, this is only a part of the Fang family's industry, and there are many of them distributed outside, and everyone doesn't know, anyway, this "Fang Bancheng" is enough to scare people.
After the news of Fang Yi's injury in a car accident was transmitted back to the Fang family, although it was late at night, the people of the Fang family also flocked to the Rende Hospital controlled by the Fang family.
In the corner of the hospital, the third floor of an independent building is brightly lit.
Many people stood in the hallways outside the intensive care unit waiting for news.
Only Old Lady Fang and his son Fang Liming walked into the ward.
"How?" As soon as he entered the door and saw his grandson who was still lying unconscious on the bed, Old Lady Fang asked anxiously, and although his son Fang Liming, who was holding him next to him, did not speak, he also looked grim and nervous.
Since Mrs. Fang learned the news, Mrs. Fang's personal medical team took over the treatment work.
Mrs. Fang has a hospital, a pharmaceutical company, a medical research institute, and a dedicated private medical team.
Mrs. Fang, who is 114 years old this year, is still in good health, and usually looks similar to ordinary people in her seventies and eighties, but she may be too worried and anxious today, and she looks older than usual.
"It's fine, it's just that the aftermath of the impact vibration is large, and I fell into a coma. It should wake up in half an hour. One of the doctors in charge said.
"Are there any other injuries?" Old Lady Fang and Fang Liming breathed a sigh of relief, and their steps as they approached the hospital bed paused, and their figures visibly relaxed.
"There was only a slight abrasion on the outer skin, and it would be healed in a few days. The protective device on the car protected him well. The doctor said.
Old Lady Fang sat down on the chair next to the bed, stretched out her hand, and touched the head of her grandson, who was still unconscious.
The contrast between the hands with loose skin and age spots and the young man's smooth-skinned face was stark, and the hands trembled involuntarily.
Old lady Fang withdrew her hand, and gently patted her grandson's hand exposed outside the quilt, obviously looking a lot relieved, "It's okay." ”
In fact, he also knew that the sports car was custom-made, and the car was equipped with multiple gyroscopes, which would rotate to avoid the impact and not tip over. Most of the people in the car are safe.
It's just that when I heard that the person who had the car accident was my favorite grandson, I would inevitably be nervous and worried.
Who let him have a son in old age, he had Fang Liming's youngest son at the age of 65, and at the age of 94, he had this lovely grandson, and this lovely grandson looked so much like when he was young.
Therefore, it is inevitable to favor favoritism.
Now the old man's expression has returned to mildness and calmness, and his temperament has become more elegant, he raised his head and said to his son who was standing beside him: "I heard that the people in that car are Professor Chen Yunping of the Department of Mathematics of GL University and Professor Hall of HF University who came to do academic exchanges, they are both famous mathematicians, you should visit them in person and apologize." ”
Fang Liming nodded and said yes, looked at the person on the bed, and said to his father again: "Dad, you can go back and rest first, Doctor Xu will take care of him." ”
"Well, you go, I'll wait here for him to wake up." Old lady Fang waved her hand at her son, adjusted her sitting posture slightly, leaned her body on her back, and was obviously not ready to leave.
Fang Liming said to Dr. Xu next to him, "I'll leave it to you." He turned and walked out of the room.
Outside the door, some were standing, some were sitting, and some were leaning against the wall, there were a dozen or so people, but it was very quiet, and when they saw Fang Liming pushing the door out, they were divided into three groups.
Three of them stood in the closed doorway, facing outward. That was Old Lady Fang's assistant and bodyguard.
The two stood behind Fang Liming, one on the left and one on the right, and that was Fang Liming's assistant.
Several others gathered in front of Fang Liming, shouting: "Uncle", "Uncle and grandfather......"
Fang Liming raised his hand to stop them, "Fang Yi hasn't woken up yet, you guys go back and rest first." ”
One of the young men in his twenties said, "I'm going to see him." "I just want to go to the hospital room. A man next to him grabbed him.
"Great-grandpa is still inside."
Fang Liming just said again: "Let's all go back." Then he took two assistants, walked through the crowd, and left.
In the ward, the young man lying on the bed was still unconscious.
The old man who was sitting had his eyes slightly closed.
The rest of the medical team has left, and only one young doctor remains in the room.
He picked up a freshly printed piece of paper from an instrument by the wall, glanced at it, frowned slightly, and let out a slight "Huh?" "Turn around and type some letters on the keyboard of a nearby instrument.
The old man, who was sitting with his eyes closed, had opened his eyes and looked at the young doctor, but he did not speak.
Because he knows and trusts this person very well.
Xu Weinan, 30 years old, has been called a genius by the medical community, and is also a doctor of brain science and neuroscience, and an important member of his Fang Medical Research Institute.
Xu Weinan seemed to confirm something, turned to face the old man, and his face was already unshocked.
"Young Master Fang Yi has found ergotoxin in his body, he should have eaten food containing ergothorns." The voice is low, neither hurried nor slow.
"Ergot." The old man repeated these three words in a low voice, word by word.
"This is a fungus that likes to parasitize on gramineous plants such as rye, wheat, oats, etc., and eating food with this ergot fungus causes people to have all kinds of strange hallucinations and uncontrolled nerves. If the dose is large, it can poison people to death.
Ergot was rampant for a long time in medieval Europe, when it was believed that witches were tricksters with potions. Later, the flour manufacturing process was improved, and there were no more cases of poisoning from eating flour containing ergot.
Ergotamine, the active biological ingredient contained in ergotamine, is now also used as a hemostatic agent for the treatment of postpartum hemorrhage and as an astringent for uterine recovery. Xu Weinan's voice calmly explained the role of ergot fungus.
"Does it matter?" The old man asked simply. The meaning, of course, is that it doesn't matter if the toxins in the grandson's body are important.
"It's okay, the portion is not very heavy, and it will be eliminated naturally in a few days." Xu Weinan looked at the young man on the hospital bed, "I will prescribe some suitable prescriptions for Young Master Fang to promote metabolism." ”
"Thank you, Fang Yi will hand it over to you in the next few days." The old man said gently, nodding slightly at the young doctor in thanks.
He was silent for a moment, half-closed his eyes, and spoke, "That thing has hallucinogenic effects?" ”
Xu Weinan didn't answer, just quietly looked at the screen of the monitoring instrument on the desk of the hospital bed.
Because although this is a question, in fact, the old man does not want people to answer.
He was just asking himself.
What happens if his grandson eats food that contains hallucinogenic effects and then goes out for a drive?
However, his grandson has been paying attention to food, clothing, and clothing since he was a child, and the family mansion is also heavily secured, so how can he let unclean things enter his grandson's mouth?
The old man's eyes suddenly opened, and the expression on his face was grim, and the gentle and kind color on his face was gone, replaced by a cold majesty.
He was about to speak, when he heard Xu Weinan's peaceful voice:
"He's going to wake up soon."
