Chapter 106: Bile alum poisoning
He Yan Xiu suddenly felt that his brain seemed to be a little unable to turn around, but he immediately subconsciously moved his body back slightly, "What?"
"There seems to be something quite you, and it has been against the waist of the servant." Su Yujin complained.
But it's ......
He didn't!
He Yanxiu's head went blank.
Seeing that He Yanxiu was silent, Su Yujin simply twisted his eyebrows and stretched out his hand to grope around He Yanxiu's waist for a while, and after a while, he pulled out a dagger, "Oh, this is it."
"Can the second master put it away properly?"
This dagger is so hard that even if she doesn't wear it thinly, it will make her waist hurt.
Su Yujin looked at this dagger extremely unpleasantly at this time.
The blood on He Yanxiu's face recovered little by little, and he breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out a hand and took the dagger, "This is what you said."
"Or else? What does the second master think the servant said?" Su Yujin tilted his head.
"No, nothing." After He Yanxiu paused, he shook the horsewhip that he had been holding in his hand, "I thought this was what you said."
"The road ahead is a bit difficult, so you should hurry up so that you don't go down."
He Yanxiu hurriedly changed the topic.
Su Yujin saw that the road ahead was quite steep, so as He Yanxiu said, he grabbed the front edge of the saddle harder and harder.
After walking for another half an hour, the group reached the valley at the foot of the mine mountain.
Because of this incident, the valley seemed to be shrouded in a haze, and the faces of the people present were very solemn, busy taking care of the sick who were weak at this time, and even a few who were already a little unconscious.
Two or three Lang Zhong arrived here earlier than He Yanxiu and Su Yujin and others, and they were checking their pulses and checking their symptoms.
Su Yujin also began to check the condition of nearby patients.
After taking the pulse, looking at the patient's pupils, checking the condition of the limbs, and asking about the number of vomits, Su Yujin checked the food that those people had eaten.
Using the silver needle test, and then sniffing the smell of those meals and vomit, Su Yujin's brows tightened.
"How?" He Yanxiu asked.
"I guess it's because I ate the alum." Su Yujin said, "Bile alum can be dug in the copper ore, it has the effect of decorroding and detoxification, it is an excellent medicinal material, but bile alum also has the effect of inducing vomiting, a small amount of food, people only vomit symptoms, if it is overeaten, in addition to vomiting, it will cause severe pain in the gastrointestinal erosion, and in severe cases, it will cause respiratory failure, excessive liver and kidney damage and worry about life."
"Fortunately, the amount of food these people eat is not much, and there is no worry about their lives for the time being, but they can't be delayed, and they need to be treated in time, so I will write above and go to grab the medicine and boil it as soon as possible."
"Okay." He Yanxiu hurriedly ordered someone to bring a pen and paper, and instructed Qu Zhiwen to inform the person who went down the mountain to buy medicinal materials.
"Go down the mountain to grab the medicine and then take it back to boil, it will take half a day to come and go at the earliest, it is really a delay, you can't wait in vain at this time, it is best to take something that can protect the stomach and intestines and prevent the spread of toxins too much." Su Yujin asked. "I wonder if there are eggs and soybeans here?"
"Yes." Qu Zhiwen replied.
"It's for the best." Su Yujin said, "Soy milk made from egg whites or soybeans has the effect of protecting the stomach and intestines after taking it, preventing the further spread of toxins, so you can take a little at this time to see if it can have some effect."
"I'll arrange for someone to do it." Qu Zhiwen hurriedly called someone over to prepare egg whites and grinding soy milk.
By the way, he told everyone that everyone had been poisoned by bile alum, and that there was already a recipe for detoxification, so he sent someone to grab the medicine and boil it.
Sudden vomiting for unknown reasons and pain in the abdomen made everyone panic, but now that the cause is clear, and knowing that they are not worried about their lives, everyone can also feel at ease.
And Su Yujin's side, after everything was arranged, checked a few more patients to make sure that they were indeed all bile alum poisoning, and then he was slightly relieved and went to check the condition of a few Lang Zhong after feeding the patient's egg whites.
A series of actions and arrangements can be described as smooth, and there is no superfluity.
The most important thing is that after drinking the egg whites, the faces of those poisoned people were slightly better, which shows that Su Yujin's judgment is also very accurate.
Even those Lang Zhong, who were invited to see him, praised Su Yujin again and again and expressed his affirmation.
It seems that this Su Yujin is really a person with outstanding medical skills.
It's no wonder that after He Yanxiu heard about the situation here, his first reaction was to bring Su Yujin over.
In this way, the reason why He Yanxiu loves Su Yujin so much is because she is really outstanding.
Qu Zhiwen sighed in his heart, but he was also busy placing patients and Zhang Luo's follow-up matters.
He Yanxiu on the side tightened his eyebrows.
Since this gallium is available from copper mines, it is now that these people are doing it because they have eaten it......
Could it be ingested?
Or did someone do it on purpose?
Qu Zhiwen said that before the meal, the guys tried the meal, and there was nothing abnormal, but after the meal was opened, something happened.
After He Yanxiu walked around twice, his eyes fell on the cauldron and beckoned to Su Yujin, "You come and check the food in this pot, is there the gallium you mentioned?"
According to He Yanxiu's words, Su Yujin carefully inspected the cauldron where there was still a lot of food left in the four mouthfuls and the steamed buns in the cage drawer, and quickly came to a conclusion.
Whether it's the rice in the pot or the steamed buns in the cage drawer, there is no alum.
But in the food they ate, there was gut.
In this way......
He Yanxiu asked, "Where are these dishes and chopsticks placed before the meal?"
"They are all in the house over there, and they will be brought out and scooped up for everyone before the meal begins." A fellow replied.
"Moved the rest of the chopsticks out."
After receiving He Yanxiu's instructions, the men hurriedly moved several large baskets of dishes and chopsticks in front of him.
Su Yujin carefully inspected these bowls and chopsticks again, and found that these bowls and chopsticks were all contaminated with bile alum to varying degrees.
"The reason why these gallium can be stained on the bowl and chopsticks is that the gallium is dissolved in water first, and then soaked in the bowl with this water, this gallium is not pure enough, there are many impurities, and the color is a little light, so no one notices."
Su Yujin said, "But I've been a little strange since just now, this gallium tastes astringent and bitter, even if the amount of food on each bowl is not much, and there is food to cover it, but the taste is not good, how can no one feel inappropriate?"
"I just inquired about this matter, and said that although the meals made in the four cauldrons today are different, they all add braised pork to them, and there are a lot of them, and I think it's because there is meat to eat today, and I don't want to say that it tastes bad, so as not to eat it in the future." Qu Zhiwen replied.
