The apocalypse arrived, but there were no zombies. Only unpredictable extreme weather and daily squabbles forced humans to survive on instinct alone to avoid being eliminated.
Yun Qi struggle...
"It was a bamboo viper, not very big. It bit me and then ran away." After dealing with all kinds of snakes for so long, people of all ages can now distinguish between different types of snakes very well.
Although Huang Yun rarely goes down to the ground, she has unconsciously learned to recognize these ubiquitous snakes.
"If it's a bamboo viper, it's a bit better, but you'll still suffer some physical pain." Si Zhengwei relaxed completely, knowing that Dr. Liu from Pinghe Village could cure this kind of snake venom.
However, snake venom will remain in the body for a period of time. Before the venom is completely cleared, the burning pain in the foot can be so intense that you wish you could just chop it off.
Huang Yun had witnessed the painful experiences of villagers who had been bitten by this snake. Thinking that she would have to endure the same pain for a long time, she couldn't help but accuse Si Zhengwei. It was because of arguing with him that she ran away and suffered this undeserved disaster.
Si Zhengwei nodded apologetically to Wang Liyuan and the others, then said to Si Ming, "Hurry up and carry your mother down. We need to get to Pinghe Village to find Doctor Liu while it's still early. If we delay any longer, she'll get so agitated, and if her blood circulation gets too fast, her leg will definitely be ruined."
The last sentence was said very strongly, but it had an effect; Huang Yun immediately stopped arguing.
After finishing dinner, Yunqi and Sicheng took a walk to the Liu family's house.
To ensure Gao Jie has a proper postpartum recovery, the entire Gaojia Village has not yet been informed of its relocation to the village entrance.
Yun Qi never came to the Liu family empty-handed, and this time was no exception.
"You can't bring anything next time. Since these two boys were born, they've taken so many things from you." Bai Liangfen looked at the fine cotton cloth laid out on the table, secretly pleased, but still politely said the same thing.
It wasn't that she wanted to take advantage of these small things; it was just that these kinds of things were so rare these days. With this cotton cloth, her two little grandsons could make a few more sets of clothes.
Looking at the twins who were lying obediently on the kang (a heated brick bed) and sleeping, Yunqi felt that they had grown a bit more in just two or three days.
Yunqi said, "These things are leftovers from when Junjun and Lele were born. You can leave them if you don't mind."
Bai Liangfen wasn't the kind of person who didn't know how ungrateful she was. "I didn't know how precious these things were. Just this little bit could be exchanged for a lot of grain. You've provided for our two children's food and clothing, and we feel a little embarrassed."
When Yunqi heard what she said, he began to think back and realized that it really was true. It had been so long since he had seen a newborn baby, and since it was his cousin's own child, he had unknowingly given so much.
I couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. I seemed to have been too carefree lately. I silently warned myself that I couldn't be so extravagant next time.
Gao Jie was resting at that moment, and the group chatted quietly outside.
"Uncle, are you home?" Yun Qiao's voice came from outside the courtyard.
Liu Zhijian was afraid that the boy outside might be too loud and disturb his grandson who had just fallen asleep, so he quickly got up and went outside.
"What are you yelling about? Don't you know you have children at home?" Liu Zhijian lowered his voice and stopped Yun Qiao.
Yun Qiao quickly covered her mouth, then lowered her voice just like him, "Uncle, Brother Fengya asked me to come and get the antidote for Bamboo Leaf Vitiligo from you."
"Who else has been bitten by a snake?" Liu Zhijian led him directly to a side room where some of the family's medicinal herbs were kept.
"Cheng Ge's stepmother is still at the village office," Yun Qiao said, pursing his lips. Thinking about what that woman had done in the past, he wouldn't have wanted to make this trip if he hadn't been on duty.
Liu Zhijian stopped and turned to look into the house, wondering whether he should tell Acheng about this.
Yun Qiao nearly crashed into it and complained, "Why did you suddenly stop?"
"Your brother Cheng is inside. Go tell him." Liu Zhijian thought that since Cheng was here, it would be better to inform him.
"No, Brother Cheng isn't a doctor, he won't be of much help." Yun Qiao refused directly. "Uncle, don't meddle later. It's much better for Brother Cheng not to know than to know right now."
Liu Zhijian didn't insist and turned to get him the medicine, saying, "You young people are sometimes too quick to condemn evil."
Yun Qiao lowered her voice, "Haven't you heard what her stepmother did before? We're not saints. Although we can't help Brother Cheng get revenge, there's no need for us to rush into causing trouble for him."
At this point, he leaned closer to Liu Zhijian's ear and asked, "Could we reduce the dosage by half?"
Liu Zhijian turned to look at him in surprise, "What kind of bad idea are you up to, kid?"
Yun Qiao said, "This is not a bad idea at all. It's just a way to teach her a lesson and make her suffer for a little longer. Anyway, she won't die."
Liu Zhijian gently patted his head, "Even if it doesn't kill you, the snake venom will still cause a lot of pain. Don't get any crooked ideas."
After saying that, he started preparing the corresponding antidote, without reducing the amount of medicine as Yun Qiao had said.
Seeing his serious expression, Yun Qiao couldn't help but pout and mutter, "What an old-fashioned person."
Seeing how busy they were, Si Cheng and Yun Qi didn't want to bother them any longer. They said goodbye to Bai Liangfen and headed back.
As Yunqi was leaving, he deliberately turned to the outside of the small pharmacy and called out, "Uncle, you're busy, we'll go back first."
"..." Liu Zhijian was about to say something when Yun Qiao covered his mouth.
"Sister Xiaoqi, Uncle is busy preparing medicine." Yun Qiao called out to the door.
Yunqi didn't want to go into this side room. She couldn't stand the smell of medicine inside. Perhaps because of the folk remedy, the smell could be smelled from outside the door.
"Then you two get back to work." Yun Qi said this and left with Si Cheng.
"Tell me what you kids are thinking about all day long?" Liu Zhijian put down the medicine in his hand and pulled Yun Qiao's hand away from his mouth.
Yun Qiao clasped her hands together, silently begging for mercy. Liu Zhijian shook his head helplessly and turned to continue preparing his medicinal herbs.
Yun Qiao made a victory sign behind him and quietly waited for him to prepare the medicine.
"Give this to your brother Fengya; he knows how to use it." Liu Zhijian packed up all the necessary medicinal herbs and handed them over to Yun Qiao.
Yun Qiao obediently took the medicinal herbs, said goodbye, and left.
Once outside the hospital gate, Yun Qiao looked around and, seeing no one, quickly squatted down.
After a few small actions, he carried the medicinal herbs and ran towards the village entrance.
Liu Fengya looked at the medicine in his hand and stared at him in surprise. Yun Qiao knew she had been discovered, so she quickly made a few winks at him.
Liu Fengya continued to quietly fiddle with the medicinal herbs in his hands.
They kept their little actions from the Si family of four. At this time, the Si father and son were being bossed around by Huang Yun. They asked her for water, wanted to be scratched, and someone had to fan her feet, which she said would relieve some of her pain.
