Chapter 73 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 began to turn blue.
Mei Jiutong has been a captain in the yamen for several years and has seen the prisoner before his death. Thinking that Le Yiyang was the one who was dying, he said to himself: "This arrow poison is so powerful that he has killed someone in just one day."
After hearing this, Cuixin walked to the bed silently, held Le Yiyang's hand tightly, tears kept flowing out, and shouted loudly: "Brother Le, can you hear what I said? Wake up quickly!"
Zhai Jingyuexin couldn't bear it, so she walked over and patted Cuixin on the shoulder, handed a handkerchief, and said softly: "Sister, Mr. Le has been poisoned for a long time, and his soul is about to leave his body. Let's not disturb him anymore." Cuixin shook her head and said: "I don't believe it! Brother Le is so kind to me, why would he leave me without saying a word? Brother Le, talk, Xin'er is by your side."
Mei Jiutong remembered what Le Yiyang said in a coma before, and felt ache in his heart, but he still said, "Cui Xin, you have a crush on Brother Le, he will know it even under the Jiuquan." When Cui Xin heard the word "Jiuquan", her body suddenly became weak and repeated, "Brother Le is really going to die? Is Brother Le really going to die?"
Mei Jiutong and Zhai Jingyue looked abnormal when they saw Cuixin. They were worried that she would not accept this reality. They walked over and comforted her and said, "Cuixin, let's go out and prepare for the funeral of Brother Le." Cuixin felt that the sky was dark and thought of leaving Le Yiyang forever, and she fainted.
Mei Jiutong hurriedly pressed her "Renzhong acupoint" and took a lot of effort to awaken her. Zhai Jingyue helped Cuixin up and walked towards the door step by step.
As soon as Zhai Jingyue stepped out of the threshold, Cui Xin broke free like crazy, ran to Le Yiyang's bed, lay in her ear, and said excitedly: "Brother Le, I thought of it! I thought of it!"
Mei Jiutong and Zhai Jingyue had not left the room yet, and they were shocked when they heard her say this. When they saw Cui Xin's hands keep moving, they were worried that she was stimulated, so they hurried over to help her up and asked, "Cui Xin, are you okay?"
Cui Xin looked at the two of them and shook her head and said, "Sister, Brother Mei, I'm fine. When I was just unconscious, I finally figured it out."
Zhai Jingyue said carefully: "Sister, don't scare your sister. Are you crazy? " Cui Xin pouted and said dissatisfied: "Sister, why do you say that your sister is crazy? She's fine?"
Mei Jiutong saw that Cuixin was rosy and her words were clear, just like usual, so she felt relieved and said, "Tuesy, your sister said that because she cared about you. Tell Brother Mei, what have you figured out?"
Cui Xin said with a "oop" and said, "I almost forgot about this important thing. Yesterday I was captured by the Dangxiang Warrior and kept making noises along the way. The Dangxiang Warriors once threatened that if I don't go with them honestly, I will try the power of snake venom."
Mei Jiutong's eyes lit up after hearing this, and she said loudly: "Snake Venom? I finally understood that it was Dangxiang's red-headed snake. I had heard from the miracle Doctor Ma mentioned it. Why didn't I think of it before? Cuixin, thank you!"
Zhai Jingyue was confused after hearing this, and didn't know what the two were saying, so she asked, "Dangxiang Red-headed Snake? What snake is at this time?"
Mei Jiutong replied: "At this time, a poisonous snake living in the four prefectures of Dangxiangxia, Sui, You and Yin is very toxic. If there is no antidote after being bitten by a mortal animal, it will undoubtedly die within seven days. Doctor Ma once practiced medicine in the military camp of Daizhou and occasionally encountered soldiers bitten by a red-headed snake, so he had a little understanding of it."
Cui Xin frowned and said disappointedly: "Although I know the origin of the arrow poison, there is still no antidote to treat Brother Le." When she said this, tears flowed down again.
Meijiu Channel: "The antidote is not difficult. I heard from Doctor Ma that you just need to find a red-headed snake, let it bite the rabbit or mouse, then take out their blood and take it to people to detoxify. You can also boil these blood into small pills and put it next to you as an antidote."
After hearing this, Cui Xin felt a little relieved, but immediately frowning again and said, "This place is thousands of miles away from the Dingnan Army. It is as difficult to find a red-headed snake as if it were to find a needle in a haystack." Zhai Jingyue also said, "Jiutong, Cui Xin is right. Even the shadow of the red-headed snake is invisible here. How can we prepare an antidote?"
Cui Xin looked at Mei Jiutong and asked softly, "Brother Mei, what are you doing?" Mei Jiutong shook her head and said, "If you can't think of a solution, Brother Le will be really powerless to turn the world."
Zhai Jingyue said: "Jiutong, I have always been unable to understand why in the tiger and wolf forest, those wild beasts are afraid of Tuoba Jiyu's horses. Will there be snakes immediately?" Mei Jiutong: "I don't understand either."
Cui Xin asked hurriedly: "Brother Mei, what bag did you find right away?" Mei Jiutong replied calmly: "Nothing else besides the reins."
Cui Xin murmured, "That's strange." After hearing this, Mei Jiutong remembered what happened in the stable and said, "Last night, two warriors of Dangxiang came to steal horses. I discovered it in time. When they fought with the two, the two threw a dart and accidentally injured Tuoba Jiyu's white horse. I went to the stable to see if I could find some clues there."
Zhai Jingyue said, "Jiutong, I'll go with you." Mei Jiutong raised his hand to stop her and said, "You're here to accompany Cuixin, I'll go back." After that, he took a big step and left the room.
Zhai Jingyue was sad and sat slowly at the table, slowly filling a glass of water, and said to Cuixin: "Sister, your brother Mei will come back when we can come back. We can't just sit there like this. You bring this glass of water to feed Mr. Le. He has been unconscious for a day and a night, and he must be so thirsty."
Cui Xin was sitting on the edge of the bed when she heard her sister calling herself, she got up and took the water cup, and brought the water to Le Yiyang. Le Yiyang still had no reaction, Cui Xin was very anxious and kept muttering in her heart: "Brother Le, you have to hold on."
Looking at Cui Xin's silent look, Zhai Jingyue comforted her and said, "Good sister, you have to be stronger. People cannot be resurrected after death." Cui Xin felt tears in her eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "Brother Le died like this, it is really unfair to be a god."
Zhai Jingyue got up and took her hand, put it in her palm and patted it gently, saying, "Cui Xin, you are stupid again. There is no fairness or unfairness in this world. If there is really fairness, we sisters don't have to grow up in brothels. Ji Yun and Yelu Zhongying, one is a daughter of a daughter and the other is His Royal Highness. Why are they born superior to others?" Cui Xin did not refute her, and shed tears for Le Yiyang alone.
Zhai Jingyue shook her head helplessly, sat back to the table, recalling the days she had been in the Farewell House, drinking boiled water alone.
Mei Jiutong walked out of the door, walked through a corridor, and met Yuan Zhenzhen. After the two approached, Yuan Zhenzhen said, "Mr. Mei, why are you in such a hurry? Is something wrong with Mr. Le?" Mei Jiutong thought that the matter was critical and had no time to say more to her, and only said, "Brothers Le were poisoned by the red-headed snake of Dangxiang. Now that their lives are in danger, I am afraid that noon will be possible."
After hearing this, Yuan Zhenzhen said in surprise: "The red-headed snake is so venomous. Hey, how did you know?" Mei Jiutong didn't want to get too entangled with her, so he replied: "Miss Yuan, this matter is long. I have to go to the stable now. It's not too late to tell you later." Then he floated sideways past her.
Yuan Zhenzhen visited Le Yiyang once before his master was in seclusion, but he did not expect his injury to develop so quickly. Thinking of Mei Jiutong's resourcefulness, he hurriedly called him and said, "Mr. Mei, wait first, I'll go with you." Mei Jiutong didn't look back and said, "It's good to do this, go to multiple helpers together."
Mei Jiutong moved forward quickly on the rugged road. Although Yuan Zhenzhen was not weak in light skills, he was still more than ten feet behind him.
Mei Jiutong arrived at the stable and gently pushed the door in. The horse was quietly eating hay, and the other horses were several feet away from it. Seeing this scene, Mei Jiutong was shocked and thought to himself: "Is yesterday's dart not poisonous?"
Yuan Zhenzhen also rushed over at this time, and was out of breath and said, "Mr. Mei, have you discovered anything?" Mei Jiutong turned his head and looked at her, and said, "Miss Yuan, I'm going to tell you, I'm here to find an antidote to cure the poison of arrows."
After hearing this, Yuan Zhenzhen said skeptically: "There is an antidote to the venom of the red-headed snake here? That's great, let's look for it quickly!" After that, he rushed into the herd of horses, and the horses were in a mess and avoided her. The white horse was still only concerned about eating grass and ignored Yuan Zhenzhen.
Yuan Zhenzhen felt strange in his heart. After walking around the white horse for a few times, he suddenly found that there was something abnormal on the haystack on the ground. He hurriedly said to Mei Jiutong: "Mr. Mei, come here quickly and see what these are?"
Mei Jiutong heard her call, walked up and squatted down to take a closer look. There were a few bloodstains on the haystack, which were left behind by the white horse in front of them. The bloodstains were densely covered with corpses of insects, including cockroaches, flies and moths, and there were a few dead mice next to the haystack. Mei Jiutong raised her head and looked at the wound on the horse's buttocks. The 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 three points."
After hearing this, Mei Jiutong suddenly became enlightened and stood up and said, "Miss Yuan, you have reminded me well. Maybe the blood of this horse can relieve the poison of the arrows on Brother Le." Yuan Zhenzhen said in confusion: "Mr. Le has been poisoned by the red-headed snake. If he drinks the blood of this horse again, wouldn't it be worse and he will die immediately?" Mei Jiutong said calmly: "Miss Yuan, things have come to this point, and this is the only way to try. If you miss this opportunity, Brother Le will never survive again. This is what the saying goes, fight poison with poison, and I hope it will be effective."
Yuan Zhenzhen was still worried, but thought that this was the only way to save Le Yiyang's life at present, and did not strongly object. She drew out the long sword with a "wow" sound and chopped the horse hard. The white horse was shocked and jumped to the side to avoid it. Yuan Zhenzhen was about to swing the sword to assassinate her 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 Young Master Le's injuries."
Meijiu Channel: "Miss Yuan, it is not undesirable for you to do this. This horse is a BMW in the Western Regions. There are only two in the entire Dangxiang clan. It is priceless. Isn't it a pity to take your life like this? Besides, the red-headed snake venom on Brother Le's body cannot be removed in a short while. Why not leave its life and take some horse blood as medicine every day. If it really works, then the snake venom on Brother Le's body will be lifted and the BMW will also stay. Isn't it better to have both beautiful things?"
Yuan Zhenzhen felt that he was right, his face turned slightly red, and said sincerely: "Mr. Mei, the little girl is short-sighted and was really a little reckless just now. Please forgive me." Mei Jiutong said: "Miss Yuan is determined to save people, so it is understandable."
Yuan Zhenzhen was ashamed and lowered his head without hesitation. Mei Jiutong laughed a few times and said, "Let's take the medicine." Yuan Zhenzhen responded, squatted on the ground, and gently drew a small mouth on the horse's legs with a long sword. The horse neighed and struggled constantly on the ground. Mei Jiutong tied the horse's body tightly with both hands, and the white horse could not move at once.
Yuan Zhenzhen took out the gourd she carried with him, poured out all the water inside, took half of the gourd blood, handed it to Mei Jiutong, took out a flower handkerchief and bandaged the wound on the horse's legs, got up and hugged the white horse gently, leaned against her ear and muttered: "Mah, horse, I hope your blood can save Mr. Le."
