72. Poisoning

"What? Nian'er and her mother are poisoned!" Xu Tianqi was taken aback, and then hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"

Xiongli glanced around, took Xu Tianqi's hand and said, "Let's go, go back to the village."

Then he said to many villagers, "Okay, let's go back, the little brother just came back and needs to rest, everyone disperses!"

After speaking, he took Xu Tianqi and walked towards Zhao Nian'er's house.

Along the way, Xiongli introduced the ins and outs of the matter to Xu Tianqi.

"It happened yesterday evening, Nian'er and her mother were picking wild vegetables in the field, but she was accidentally bitten by a passing poisonous snake, and now she is in a coma, if she doesn't rescue her, I'm afraid she won't be able to survive today," Xiongli said in a low tone.

Xu Tianqi's brows suddenly twisted, "What? The poison was in the evening yesterday? Why didn't you invite a doctor to come over for treatment." ”

"Please, there is a doctor in the village, but the doctor said that the poison in the hibiscus is the poison of the black demons, and after this poisonous snake bites people, unless they are healed with their gall, ordinary medicine is useless," Xiongli explained.

Xu Tianqi frowned after hearing this, "Don't tell me, you don't have the snake gall of this black ghost and poisonous snake."

Xiongli smiled bitterly and said, "Little brother, you are right, the snake venom of this black demon is very violent, and generally people who bite people are bound to die, and ordinary people stay away even if they see it, plus this snake is cunning by nature, and it is generally hidden in deep holes, so it is difficult to catch, and it is really impossible to find snake gall for a while."

While speaking, the two had already walked to the door of Zhao Nian'er's house, and at this time, Xu Tianqi had heard the sound of crying faintly coming from inside.

Walking in, there were four people standing in the narrow room, in addition to Zhao Nian'er's family, there was an old man and a young man, the old man was sitting on a chair, and a medicine box was placed next to him, and the young man stood aside respectfully, no need to guess Xu Tianqi knew that the old man was the doctor that Xiongli said, and the young man should be the old man's apprentice.

"Doctor Wang, how's the situation?" asked Xiongli as soon as he entered the door.

Doctor Wang shook his head, and said with a solemn face, "I have tried my best, but the poisonous gas has penetrated deep into the body, and if I can't find the snake gallbladder, I'm afraid that the poisonous gas will attack my heart in an hour, and then even if the gods come, I'm afraid there is no way."

Doctor Wang's words were silent, and Zhao Furong's mother fainted when she heard this, and was supported on a chair by the young man on the side.

As soon as Xu Tianqi turned his head, he saw Zhao Nian'er's thin figure, at this time, the little girl leaned her head on her mother's body, and a pair of thin little hands hugged her mother tightly, as if she was afraid that her mother would leave her as soon as she let go.

This little girl has suffered a little too much in her life, she has never seen her father since she was born, but she is usually rejected by everyone because her father is a monster, and she is abused and beaten by children of the same age, and now she is going to lose her only mother, which really makes Xu Tianqi sigh the unfairness of fate.

Slowly walked to the little girl's side, Xu Tianqi touched Zhao Nian'er's hair, Zhao Nian'er turned her neck like a zombie, and a pair of empty eyes turned slightly to look at Xu Tianqi, and then fell into silence like a pool of stagnant water.

Looking at Zhao Nian'er in front of him, Xu Tianqi suddenly thought of the thin and lonely figure in the past, and then recalled the stubborn woman who insisted on morality even if she was poor, and said secretly in her heart:

"You can't let Zhao Furong die like this, otherwise this little girl probably won't live for a few days, and she must save them!"

So Xu Tianqi bowed to the old man and said, "I don't know if the doctor has any way to save Zhao Nian'er and her mother, as long as you can save people, you can say what conditions you want, I will definitely do it!"

The doctor glanced at Xu Tianqi unexpectedly, then got up and said:

"You should be the cultivator that the villagers say, look up for a long time! If the immortal cultivator can find the snake gall of the black demon snake in half an hour, maybe the patient can still be saved, otherwise the old decay is really powerless."

Xu Tianqi frowned, half an hour is an hour on the earth, and it may be a little difficult to find the black demon snake in an hour, so he said

"I don't know if the doctor can give some time and suppress the snake venom for another hour or two, I will definitely find the black ghost snake by then."

The doctor shook his head and said, "Originally, the patient should have died last night after the snake venom of the black demon snake, because of the request of Captain Xiong, I used precious medicinal materials to help the patient suppress the snake venom, but now one of the main drugs, the hundred-year-old ginseng, has been used up, and without the century-old ginseng, it cannot be made into medicine at all, and now the patient has been deeply poisoned, I am afraid that even if there is medicine, there is nothing that can be done."

"Is there really no other way?" asked Xu Tianqi.

The old man shook his head.

"Is there anything else that can be detoxified besides the snake gall of the Black Demon Snake?" Xu Tianqi asked again.

The doctor thought for a moment and said, "Yes, if you can find Houttuynia cordata, it can also detoxify, and the effect will be better."

Xu Tianqi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked impatiently, "Then where will this snake cordata be?"

"Jade Bamboo Forest!" the old man spit out four words with a solemn face, and Xiong Li and the young man behind the old man were shocked when they heard it.

"No! This jade and bamboo forest is a place of great evil, poisonous insects are everywhere and demons are rampant, anyone who goes will definitely die, little brother, you must not go!" Xiongli hurriedly shouted.

Xu Tianqi smiled after hearing this, "Brother Xiong, don't worry, I'm not a mortal, I'm an immortal cultivator, what can I do with poisonous insects, and I have long wanted to go to the jade bamboo forest, I have been greedy for bamboo food there for a long time."

"But..."

"Okay, don't say it, my mind has been decided, don't say more!" Xu Tianqi waved his hand to stop Xiong Li from continuing to dissuade.

"But I don't know what this snake cordata looks like, and I have to trouble the doctor to draw me a picture," Xu Tianqi said to the old man.

"Okay, I'll draw it for you," the old man hurriedly said, so he took a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone and began to draw.

And Xu Tianqi took the opportunity to look at Zhao Furong, who had fallen asleep, and saw that she probably hadn't changed her clothes for some years, and her clothes were worn on her body to reveal an arm that looked a lot smaller, and her green clothes had been washed and turned white, and there were patches in many places, which showed that she was poor.

And now her former lean and stern appearance has disappeared, leaving only a weak and haggard face, and a frowning brow from time to time indicates that she is suffering a lot.

Looking at Zhao Furong's painful face, Xu Tianqi fell into deep thought, "I don't know if the green light amber can help her detoxify, before the green light amber can cure the dark wound of the winged tiger, it should also have some effect on this snake venom, no matter how bad it is, it can delay some time."

Thinking of this, Xu Tianqi took out a small piece of green amber, said to Xiong Li, "Take a bowl of warm water", and then used water and green amber to Zhao Furong to take.

After two minutes, Zhao Furong suddenly woke up, only to see her look around, until she saw Zhao Nian'er in her arms, she smiled slightly, and when she wanted to say something, she suddenly spit out a pool of black blood, and then continued to fall asleep, but her face was much better.

"Mother, mother!" Zhao Nian'er shouted in surprise when she saw Zhao Furong wake up.

"What's going on?" The old doctor was shocked when he saw the mess of dirty blood on the ground, thinking that something had happened, but after he checked Zhao Furong's pulse, he found that the snake venom in Zhao Furong's body had actually subsided a little, and he was a little surprised.

"The snake venom has been temporarily suppressed, and the patient can still hold on for half a day, how did you do it?" the doctor looked at Xu Tianqi and said in disbelief.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Xu Tianqi explained:

"Don't be nervous, I gave her some elixir, maybe I can make her hold on for a while longer, now is the picture of Hout cordata finished?"

When the old doctor heard this, he immediately handed Xu Tianqi a picture, which was painted with the appearance of Holtuynia cordata, and saw that this plant was as curved and enchanting as a live snake, and the leaves were like the core of a poisonous snake, which made people recognize this thing as Houttuynia cordata at a glance.
