Chapter Seventy-Three: Finding the Antidote
Mei Jiutong, Zhai Jingyue and Cui Xin came to Le Yiyang's room, and saw Le Yiyang lying quietly on the bed, his face had begun to turn blue. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Mei Jiutong had been a head catcher in the yamen for several years, and he had seen the appearance of the prisoner before he died, and thought that Le Yiyang was on his deathbed at this time, and said to himself: "This arrow poison is so powerful, it only took a day to put people to death." ”
After Cui Xin heard this, she silently walked to the side of the bed, held Le Yiyang's hand tightly, tears flowed out of her eyes, and shouted: "Brother Le, can you hear what I said?
Zhai Jingyue couldn't bear it, walked over and patted Cuixin's shoulder, handed over a handkerchief, and said softly: "Sister, Le Gongzi has been poisoned for a long time, and the Yuan Shen is about to leave his body, let's not bother him anymore." Cui Xin shook her head and said, "I don't believe it! Brother Le is so good to me, how could he leave me without saying a word? Brother Le, you speak, your heart is by your side." ”
Mei Jiutong remembered what Le Yiyang had said in a coma before, and his heart ached, but he still said: "Cuixin, your infatuation with Brother Le, he will also know under Jiuquan." When Cui Xin heard the word "Jiuquan", her body suddenly softened, and she repeated: "Is Brother Le really going to die?
Mei Jiutong and Zhai Jingyue saw Cuixin's abnormal expression, worried that she would not be able to accept this reality, so they walked over and comforted: "Cuixin, let's go out, and we have to prepare for Brother Le's funeral." Cui Xin only felt that the sky was dark, and she fainted when she thought that she was going to say goodbye to Le Yiyang.
Mei Jiutong hurriedly held down her "human acupoint", and it took a lot of effort to wake her up. Zhai Jingyue picked up Cuixin and walked towards the door step by step.
As soon as Zhai Jingyue stepped out of the threshold with her front feet, Cui Xin broke free like crazy, ran to Le Yiyang's bedside, lay on her ear, and said excitedly: "Brother Le, I thought of it!
Mei Jiutong and Zhai Jingyue hadn't left the room yet, and they were all taken aback when they heard her say this. Seeing Cuixin's hands constantly moving, the two were worried that she was stimulated, so they hurriedly went over to help her up and asked, "Cuixin, are you okay?"
Cui Xin looked at the two of them, shook her head and said, "Sister, Brother Mei, I'm fine." When I was in a coma, I finally figured it out. ”
Zhai Jingyue said cautiously: "Sister, don't scare your sister, aren't you crazy?" Cui Xin pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "Sister, how can you say that my sister is crazy, and people are fine." ”
Mei Jiutong saw that Cuixin's color was ruddy, and her speech was clear, no different from usual, so she put her mind at ease and said, "Cuixi, your sister said this because she cared about you. You tell Brother Mei, what have you figured out?"
Cui Xin said "oops" and said, "I almost forgot this important thing." Yesterday I was caught by the party warriors, who threatened me to give me a taste of snake venom if I didn't go with them honestly. ”
Mei Jiutong's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he said loudly: "Snake venom? I finally understood, it turned out to be the red-headed snake of the party, and I once heard Doctor Ma mention it." Why didn't I think of it before?Cui Xin, thank you!"
Zhai Jingyue was confused after hearing this, and didn't know what the two were talking about, so she asked, "What kind of snake is the red-headed snake in the party?"
Mei Jiutong replied: "At this time, a poisonous snake living in the territory of the four prefectures of Dangxiang Xia, Sui, You, and Yin, its poison is very strong, and after mortals and animals are bitten, if there is no antidote, they will definitely die within seven days." Doctor Ma used to practice medicine in the Daizhou military camp, and occasionally encountered soldiers who were bitten by red-headed snakes, so he knew a little about it. ”
Cui Xin frowned and said disappointedly: "Although I know the origin of arrow poison now, there is still no antidote to cure Brother Le." As she said this, tears flowed down her eyes again.
Mei Jiu channel: "The antidote is not difficult. I've heard the horse doctor say that all you need to do is find a red-headed snake, let it bite a hare or a mouse, then take out their blood and give it to people to detoxify. You can also boil this blood into small pills and keep it around as an antidote. ”
After hearing this, Cui Xin felt a little relieved, but immediately frowned and said: "This place is thousands of miles away from the Dingyan Army, and it is really as difficult as looking for a needle in a haystack to find a red-headed snake. Zhai Jingyue also said: "Jiutong, Cuixin is right, you can't even see the shadow of the red-headed snake here, where can you prepare an antidote?"
Cui Xin glanced at Mei Jiutong and asked softly, "Brother Mei, what can you do?" Mei Jiutong shook his head. He also said: "If you can't think of a way, Brother Le will really have no power to return to heaven." ”
Zhai Jingyue said: "Jiutong, I have always been unable to figure it out, why in the Tiger and Wolf Forest, those beasts are afraid of Tuoba Jiyu's horses, is there a snake right away?" Mei Jiudao: "I don't understand either." ”
Cui Xin hurriedly asked, "Brother Mei, what bag did you find right away?" Mei Jiutong replied calmly: "Immediately there is nothing else except the reins." ”
Cui Xin muttered, "That's weird. After hearing this, Mei Jiutong remembered what had happened in the stable, and said: "Last night, two samurai came to steal horses, and I found them in time, and when they fought with them again, those two threw darts and accidentally injured Tuoba Jiyu's white horse. I'll go over to the stables and see if I can find any signs there. ”
Zhai Jingyue said: "Jiutong, I'll go with you." Mei Jiutong raised his hand to stop her and said, "You are here with Cuixin, and I will go back when I go." With that, he strode out of the room.
Zhai Jingyue was sad, slowly sat down at the table, slowly poured a glass of water, and said to Cuixin: "Sister, your eldest brother Mei doesn't know when he can come back, we can't just sit like this." You bring this glass of water to feed Le Gongzi, he has been in a coma for a day and a night, and he must be too thirsty. ”
Cui Xin was sitting on the edge of the bed, and when she heard her sister calling herself, she got up and took the water cup and brought the water to Le Yiyang's mouth. Le Yiyang still didn't react, Cui Xin was anxious, and kept muttering in his heart: "Brother Le, you have to hold on." ”
Seeing Cui Xin's silent appearance, Zhai Jingyue comforted her: "Good sister, you have to be strong, people can't be resurrected after death." Cui Xin only felt that her eyes were hazy, and she said in a dumb voice: "Brother Le died like this, God is really unfair." ”
Zhai Jingyue got up and took her hand, put it in her palm and patted it gently, and said, "Cuixin, you are stupid again, where is there any fairness or unfairness in this world." If it were really fair, we sisters wouldn't have to grow up in the Qinglou. Come to Jiyun and Yelu Zhongying, one is Miss Qianjin, and the other is Her Royal Highness the Princess, why are they born superior?" Cui Xin didn't refute her, and silently cried for Le Yiyang alone.
Zhai Jingyue shook her head helplessly, sat back at the table again, and recalled the days in the Farewell Love Building, drinking boiled water alone.
Mei Jiutong walked out of the room, walked through a corridor, and met Yuan Zhenzhen coming over. After the two approached, Yuan Zhenzhen said: "Mei Gongzi, why are you leaving in such a hurry? Could it be that there is an accident on Le Gongzi's side?" Mei Jiutong thought that the matter was critical, and he didn't have time to say more to her, so he only said: "Brother Le was poisoned by the red-headed snake of the party, and now his life is dying, I'm afraid he won't be able to pass noon." ”
Yuan Zhenzhen said in surprise after hearing this: "The red-headed snake venom is so powerful. Hey, how do you know?" Mei Jiutong didn't want to entangle with her too much, so she replied abruptly: "Miss Yuan, this matter is a long story, I have to go to the stable now, and I'll tell you later." Then he floated sideways in front of her.
Yuan Zhenzhen took advantage of the master's retreat to visit Le Yiyang once, but he didn't expect his injury to develop so quickly, thinking of Mei Jiutong's resourcefulness, he hurriedly stopped him and said, "Mei Gongzi, you wait first, I'll go with you." Mei Jiutong didn't look back, only said: "That's fine, let's go to multiple helpers together." ”
Mei Jiutong moved quickly on the rough road. Although Yuan Zhenzhen is not weak, he is still more than ten feet behind him.
Mei Jiutong went to the stable, gently pushed the door in. The horse was quietly eating hay, and the other horses were a few feet away from it. Seeing this scene, Mei Jiutong was taken aback and thought, "Could it be that yesterday's darts were not poisonous." ”
Yuan Zhenzhen also rushed over at this time, out of breath, and said, "Mei Gongzi, have you found anything?" Mei Jiutong glanced back at her and said, "Miss Yuan, to tell you the truth, I came here to find an antidote to curare poison." ”
After hearing this, Yuan Zhenzhen said suspiciously: "Here is the antidote to the venom of the red-headed snake? That's great, let's find it quickly!" After speaking, he rushed to the horses, and the horses were all in a mess, and they avoided her. The white horse was still only concerned about grazing, and did not pay attention to Yuan Zhenzhen.
Yuan Zhenzhen felt strange in his heart, walked around the white horse a few times, and suddenly found that there was something abnormal in the grass pile on the ground, and hurriedly said to Mei Jiutong: "Mei Gongzi, come over and see what these are?"
Mei Jiutong heard her call herself, and walked forward and squatted down to take a closer look. There were several blood stains on the haystack, which were left by the white horse in front of him after he was injured. The bloodstains were densely covered with insect corpses, cockroaches, flies, and moths, and a few dead rats next to the haystack. Mei Jiutong raised her head and looked at the wound on the horse's buttocks, the piece of cloth that bandaged it last night was still there. Yuan Zhenzhen stretched out his tongue, sighed, and said: "This horse's blood is so powerful, it is clearly a poisonous horse, no wonder the horses here are afraid of it." ”
After hearing this, Mei Jiutong suddenly became enlightened, got up and said, "Miss Yuan, you reminded me well, maybe the blood of this horse can cure the arrow poison on the brother's body." Yuan Zhenzhen said puzzledly: "Le Gongzi has already been poisoned by the red-headed snake, if he drinks the blood of this horse again, won't it be even worse and he will die of poison immediately?" If this opportunity is missed, the Le brothers will never survive again. This is what the saying goes, fighting poison with poison, and I hope it will be effective. ”
Yuan Zhenzhen still had concerns, but thought that this was the only way to save Le Yiyang's life at present, and he did not strongly oppose it. With a "whoosh", she drew her long sword and slashed at the horse with all her might. The white horse was startled and quickly jumped to the side to dodge. Yuan Zhenzhen was about to swing her sword to assassinate again, but Mei Jiutong had already grabbed the hilt of her sword and asked, "Miss Yuan, why are you?" Yuan Zhenzhen said lightly: "I will kill it first, and then take blood to treat Le Gongzi's injuries." ”
Mei Jiudao: "Miss Yuan, it's not undesirable for you to do this. This horse is a BMW in the Western Regions, and there are only two in the entire Dangxiang clan, and it is invaluable, so isn't it a pity to take his life like this? Besides, the red-headed snake venom on Brother Le cannot be removed in a moment, so why not leave its life and take some horse blood every day as a medicine guide. If it really works, the snake venom on the Shile brothers can be lifted, and BMW will stay, wouldn't it be better if the two beauties are complete?"
Yuan Zhenzhen felt that he was reasonable, his face was slightly red, and he said sincerely: "Mei Gongzi, the little woman is short-sighted, and she was really reckless just now. I beg your pardon. Mei Jiutong said: "Miss Yuan is bent on saving people, which is understandable. ”
Yuan Zhenzhen was ashamed in his heart, and lowered his head unwillingly. Mei Jiutong laughed a few times and said, "Let's take the medicine with our hands." Yuan Zhenzhen agreed, squatted on the ground, and gently cut a small cut on the horse's leg with his long sword. The horse neighed and kept struggling on the ground, Mei Jiutong tightly tied the horse's body with both hands, and the white horse suddenly couldn't move.
Yuan Zhenzhen took out the gourd he carried with him, poured out all the water in it, connected the blood of half of the gourd, handed it to Mei Jiutong, and took out a handkerchief to bandage the wound on the horse's leg, got up and gently hugged the white horse, leaned on her ear and muttered: "Horse, horse, I hope your blood can save Le Gongzi." ”
Mei Jiutong took the gourd and said anxiously: "Miss Yuan, Brother Le is still waiting for horse blood to be taken, I'll go first." After saying that, he rushed out of the door with a whoosh. Yuan Zhenzhen had just come out of the stable, and Mei Jiutong was no longer visible, she sighed to the front: "This Mei Jiutong is really not simple. Le Gongzi is only seventeen years old, and he has such a friend by his side, which has to be impressive. ”
