Guo Xiaoxiao is already unconscious.

Jiang Zhiyuan has always been nearby and has not gone far. Seeing Guo Xiaoxiao fainting to the ground, he immediately rushed to Guo Xiaoxiao's side, knelt on the ground, and held her in his arms.

"Xiaoxiao!" He called out eagerly, "What's wrong with you?" Wake up. ”

I saw her and Guo Qianqian going around, but I didn't notice anything unusual, I didn't expect to faint. Although she is not in good health, she is not delicate to the point of being so delicate.

He pinched her with his fingers, but there was no response. He hurriedly said: "Go and let Jiang Feng prepare the carriage, I will send her to the doctor." ”

"Yes." Xiaolan got up from the ground and said in a panic.

Although Xiaolan ran out of the speed of a kitten, she still felt slow in Jiang Zhiyuan's eyes. Because every minute for Guo Xiaoxiao, it may be a test of life and death.

He picked up Guo Xiaoxiao and ran to Jiangfu. In order not to hurt her neck, he deliberately leaned her body against himself.

Jiang Feng received a report from Xiaolan and knew that the matter was critical, so he quickly found the fastest horse and light carriage from the backyard.

When Jiang Zhiyuan arrived at Jiang's mansion, Jiang Feng happened to lead the horse out of the backyard. Jiang Zhiyuan didn't say a word, and got into the carriage with Guo Xiaoxiao in his arms, and Jiang Feng and Xiaolan sat in front. With a wave of the whip, the carriage sped away.

The sound of the horse's hooves was crisp and urgent, but in order to hurry, Jiang Feng had to hurry up, and the road was very bumpy, so the carriage shook violently.

Jiang Zhiyuan hugged Guo Xiaoxiao tightly in his arms, in order to avoid the car hitting her head, Jiang Zhiyuan leaned on the side of the carriage, put his right foot directly on the seat, and then let her lean on his thigh with his arm on his pillow, and pressed his right elbow against the wall of the carriage, this action was maintained until the two got off the carriage.

It was a paradise outside the city of Yangzhou, full of lilacs and small grasses. Flowers and plants surround the fence, and the fence surrounds a wooden house.

Jiang Zhiyuan got out of the carriage with Guo Xiaoxiao in his arms and walked towards the wooden house. Jiang Feng found a wooden stake to tie the horse before going in with Xiaolan.

As soon as Jiang Zhiyuan entered the door, he said, "Old gentleman, old gentleman, come and save people." ”

An old man walked out of the room and exclaimed, "Master Jiang, what's wrong?" ”

"I don't know, you save her."

"Let's put it in bed and lie down."

Jiang Zhiyuan carefully put Guo Xiaoxiao on a wooden bed, and when he found that the old man's things were simple, he took off his coat and folded it into a small pillow for Guo Xiaoxiao to cushion. He thought to himself that the things used by the old man should not be suitable for Guo Xiaoxiao, after all, there are differences between men and women, and the young and the young are orderly.

The old man first looked at Guo Xiaoxiao's complexion, and then checked her pulse, then he looked at Guo Xiaoxiao's pupils, and continued to check the pulse, and then said: "This girl is pale, her pulse is weak, and her qi and blood are free, it seems that she has been poisoned." ”

"Poisoned?" Jiang Zhiyuan exclaimed.

"Is what the old man said true?" Xiaolan asked.

"I wonder what was wrong with this girl's body before she fainted?" The old man asked.

Jiang Zhiyuan is far from living with Guo Xiaoxiao, so naturally he doesn't know.

At this time, Xiaolan thought for a while and said: "Half a month ago, Miss went to Panshan to collect medicine, and the night she returned home, she felt extremely stuffy in her chest, had difficulty breathing, broke out in a cold sweat, and couldn't sleep. ”

"What happened?" The old man asked again.

"Later," Xiaolan recalled the details, "it is strange to say, on the day that Miss felt unwell, I accompanied Miss to Yuan's Pharmacy in the morning to pick up medicine for my wife. Before the young lady left, the young master of the pharmacy actually said that he wanted to check the pulse of the young lady, and sent someone to send the medicine to the house. ”

"What did the young master of the pharmacy say?" Jiang Zhiyuan asked.

"It's not unusual, he said that when he saw that Miss was not good-looking, he took the pulse of Miss."

"How does your young lady feel after taking the medicine?" The old man said.

"After the young lady took the medicine, the next day the person immediately recovered, refreshed."

Jiang Zhiyuan immediately said: "Is the medicine residue still there?" ”

"The slave and maid poured the dregs under the pear blossom tree in the backyard every time, and it should still be there."

Jiang Zhiyuan said to the old man: "Does the old gentleman need to check the medicine residue?" ”

"Well, bring it here, I'll take a look."

Jiang Zhiyuan ordered Jiang Feng to take Xiaolan back to Guo's mansion to get the medicine residue.

Now that Guo Xiaoxiao is unconscious, the old man immediately took measures to save Guo Xiaoxiao's life. He took out a pill from the medicine bottle, handed it to Jiang Zhiyuan, and said, "Please Lord Jiang give this medicine to the girl, this medicine can relieve her pain." ”

"Thank you, sir." Jiang Zhiyuan took it, sat on the edge of the bed, helped Guo Xiaoxiao's body with his left hand, broke her mouth with his right hand, and just wanted to put the pill in, but the action stopped again.

He said, "I'm afraid she won't be able to take this pill." Is it possible to grind it into powder before eating? ”

The old man saw Jiang Zhiyuan's frowning slightly, and said "um" softly.

Jiang Zhiyuan smiled, carefully put down Guo Xiaoxiao, and went to the table to get the jar and short wooden stick for the medicine. He put the pill in it and licked it up quickly, his movements quick and nimble.

It took a while for the pill, the size of a fingernail, to be ground into powder. Jiang Zhiyuan poured all the medicinal powder into the bowl, added some more water, and stirred gently.

After stirring, Jiang Zhiyuan sat back on the side of the bed with the medicine bowl, and the old man brought a stool to put the medicine bowl for him. Jiang Zhiyuan helped Guo Xiaoxiao up and began to feed her medicine spoonful by spoonful.

The old man observed carefully and found that the medicinal powder was ground very finely, and then looked at Jiang Zhiyuan, his movements were very gentle, and the decoction always flowed down the corners of Guo Xiaoxiao's mouth.

The old man said, "You are so gentle, how can you be drugged?" ”

Jiang Zhiyuan smiled embarrassedly and said, "Then what should I do?" ”

"Pinch her chin and push it down." Seeing that Jiang Zhiyuan was hesitating, the old man said again, "If you want her to hurry up, hurry up and pour her in." ”

Jiang Zhiyuan was ruthless, thinking that the long pain was better than the short pain, so he pinched Guo Xiaoxiao's chin and quickly poured her several spoonfuls. Then, he wiped Guo Xiaoxiao's mouth with his sleeve, then let her sleep, and pulled the quilt next to her to cover her.

At this time, Xiaolan and Jiang Feng came back.

The old man checked the medicine residue and said, "The prescription is right." It's just that the most critical medicine is missing, so the medicinal properties are not strong, and it can only play a role in inhibition, not a radical cure. ”

"What?" Xiaolan exclaimed, "It turns out that the medicine I have taken for so long has been taken in vain." ”

"It can't be considered for nothing, at least it delays the onset of toxicity."

Jiang Zhiyuan said: "Dare to ask the old gentleman, what kind of poison did my cousin have?" ”

The old man said: "Sister Ling was poisoned by the snake and scorpion grass. This poison is bloodthirsty, has a long incubation period, and if it remains in the human body for a long time, it will continue to erode the human hematopoietic heart. If people do not have enough blood to feed their bodies, they will experience symptoms of chest tightness, shortness of breath, dizziness, and shock. In mild cases, the appearance is a lack of blood color on the face; If the poisoning is severe, it will go into shock until death. ”

Jiang Zhiyuan asked: "According to the old gentleman's opinion, could it be that the person who prescribed the medicine did it deliberately?" ”

"It's possible. But if you just want to kill Ling Mei, why send medicine to delay the onset of toxicity? This is redundant. ”

Just as a few people were talking, Guo Xiaoxiao frowned and called softly: "Water, water." ”

Xiaolan just wanted to go over, but Jiang Zhiyuan took the lead. After Jiang Zhiyuan approached Guo Xiaoxiao's mouth and listened carefully, he hurriedly asked Xiaolan to pour water, and then fed her water himself.

After a while, Jiang Zhiyuan said: "Right now, my cousin is quite poisoned, and I ask the old gentleman to treat Xiao Xiao as soon as possible, and other things will be dealt with after Xiao Xiao is well." ”

The old man also felt that this should be the case, so he set out to detoxify Guo Xiaoxiao.

The old man said: "Sister Ling's poisoning has been deep, and she needs to bathe in the medicinal spring for four hours, plus acupuncture and moxibustion, before she can be poisoned." ”

Jiang Feng said: "But we don't have a hot spring in Yangzhou, and it will take more than ten days to go to the nearest hot spring here." ”

The old man said, "You don't have to worry, you can use the fire method to create a hot spring environment for the girl." It's just that you need a lot of firewood to keep the water warm, and you have to work hard. ”

Jiang Zhiyuan paused and said, "It's okay, as long as you can save Xiaoxiao, it's okay to work hard." ”

Xiaolan hurriedly said: "As long as the old gentleman can detoxify my young lady, don't say that it is a fire, even if the slave maid is allowed to go to the soup and the fire, the slave and maid are willing." ”

Jiang Feng said: "The slave is willing to listen to the old man's orders." ”

"Even so," the old man thought for a moment, "I have here a special tool for soaking potions, but there is one thing I want to say ahead, if you want to save her, you must keep the firewood constant." I don't have much firewood here, so you'll need to find it yourself. Besides, my old bones can't stand the toss for too long, and you have to keep it by yourself when you make potions. ”

"That's nature." Jiang Zhiyuan got up and said, "I can borrow the old man's tools to use, Zhiyuan is already grateful." ”

"Then let's get ready." The old man opened the curtain, and a large wooden barrel appeared in front of the three of them.

Underneath the large barrel is a huge stove with a small opening for a fire. The old man's things were strange and strange, and although Jiang Zhiyuan couldn't understand the principle of this stove, he didn't say anything.

The old man glanced at Guo Xiaoxiao on the bed and said, "The clothes that Sister Ling is wearing are too thick, and I am afraid that the potion will be difficult to penetrate into the skin." ”

Jiang Zhiyuan understood, picked up Guo Xiaoxiao and walked out of the fence, got into the carriage, settled Guo Xiaoxiao, and retreated again.

Seeing Xiaolan follow, Jiang Zhiyuan said, "Take off her outer clothes." ”

"Yes." Xiaolan hesitated for a moment, "All off?" ”

Jiang Zhiyuan paused and said, "Take it all off, and then change into a dark undershirt." ”

"Yes." Xiaolan got into the carriage, carefully lowered the curtain, and deliberately covered the leakage.

Jiang Zhiyuan waited outside the carriage and suddenly said, "Under that seat, there are my spare clothes." ”

"The slave knows." Xiaolan flipped through the seat cover, and sure enough, there was a set of men's clothes.

Xiaolan smiled, thinking in her heart that Miss wears a white undershirt on weekdays, and if she soaks in potions, she will definitely run out. The young master is really careful, and it is not easy to be seen when he wears a dark undershirt.

After seven or eight minutes, Xiaolan lifted the curtain and said, "Young Master Cousin, it has been changed." ”

Jiang Zhiyuan got into the carriage and saw that although Guo Xiaoxiao's clothes were very wide, the places that should be blocked were blocked, so he picked Guo Xiaoxiao off the car and walked to the wooden house.
