Chapter 186: Cause of Poisoning]

Chen Fenghe saw that the tip of the child's nose and lips were purple, and his body was curled up like a shrimp. It was obvious that he had suffered from abdominal pain and vomiting before he fell into a coma.

She hurriedly said, "Someone, take this child inside!"

Everyone was at a loss, and after hearing what Chen Fenghe said, they didn't react at once.

At this time, a figure walked out from behind Chen Fenghe and picked up Wenxuan without saying a word.

Chen Fenghe was stunned for a moment before she saw clearly that it was Xiao Yunshuo.

She couldn't help but think of what happened at the post station that night, and couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, but after just a moment's thought, she immediately put the matter out of her mind.

The most urgent thing now is to save this child.

As she followed Xiao Yunshuo in, she continued to instruct, "Hurry up and get some water, lots of it. Also, Wenxuan's mother, tell me in detail what Wenxuan ate from yesterday evening until this morning!"

The child had just given them eggs yesterday evening, and they were fine then. So, if they were poisoned, it must have happened between yesterday evening and this morning.

Chen Fenghe looked at Wenxuan's symptoms and probably had a conclusion in her mind, but it would be better if further confirmation was needed!

The village head reacted quickly and asked the men in the village to help fetch water from the well.

Wenxuan's mother was so frightened that she was completely bewildered. Her lips trembled as she recalled, "Yesterday evening... yesterday evening, I asked Wenxuan to bring... bring eggs back to you, young ladies. We... our family had sweet potatoes and radishes for dinner. Wenxuan and I had the same meal. Then we went to bed. This morning... this morning was still sweet potato soup and wild vegetable pancakes, and I fried an egg for Wenxuan... that's all... But, apart from the egg, these were all normal food. And I ate the same thing too? Is there something wrong with the eggs? But the eggs were freshly laid by our old hen this morning..."

Chen Fenghe shook her head and said, "It's not the eggs. We ate the eggs you gave us yesterday, and there's nothing wrong."

As she spoke, she suddenly asked, "Did you put salt in the food you ate from yesterday to today?"

Wenxuan's mother was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then she quickly said, "Yes! I... I added some salt to the eggs and wild vegetable pancakes I gave Wenxuan this morning... I bought this salt from Gouzi's mother last night... The lump on Wenxuan's neck is getting worse. I heard you say yesterday that eating salt can cure this disease... Miss Shen, could it be... that the salt is the problem?"

Gouzi's mother was displeased when she heard this. She put her hands on her hips and cursed, "Great! You're deliberately trying to pin this on me! What's the matter? You just failed to stop everyone from buying my salt, and now you're instigating Wenxuan's mother to slander me? Yesterday you said salt can cure diseases, and today you're the one saying poisoning is caused by salt! I've said all the good and bad things to you, so we shouldn't say anything, right? Bah! You're still a doctor! I think you're just a quack!"

Chen Fenghe glanced at Gou Zi's mother indifferently, ignored her, and walked straight into the room.

Since he ate that kind of "salt", then the root cause of the poisoning should be correct!

Because that kind of "salt" is not real salt, but sodium nitrite, which tastes salty itself and is often used to make fake salt. If you eat too much, you will be poisoned, and in severe cases it can be fatal!

Wenxuan's mother probably didn't give Wenxuan much to eat, but because the child was young, he was poisoned even with a normal dose.

She had no time and no desire to argue with someone like Gou Zi's wife. The most urgent thing now was to save people!

Seeing that Chen Fenghe didn't answer, Gou Zi's mother became even more arrogant and said, "Ha! I told you about your conspiracy, and you have nothing to say. Now you want to get away with it? It won't be that easy! Everyone, why don't you catch her quickly! Maybe she secretly poisoned Wenxuan in order to make everyone believe in her medical skills!"
