Tian Cai estimated the approximate distance in her mind. After she crossed the mountain, she saw a group of houses scattered at the foot of the mountain. She found a big rock and planned to rest for a while, tidy up her clothes and then go down.

Just as I took a bite of the pancake, I heard a group of people at the foot of the mountain making a lot of noise and walking quickly around someone, with someone running in front to lead the way.

Tian Cai now had sharp ears and eyes, and he could easily see that the man in the middle was not surrounded at all. He was carrying someone on his back, and the people next to him were just helping him. The group was moving quite fast, and they quickly disappeared after turning the small bridge at the entrance of the village.

Judging from their posture, someone must have been injured. Tian Cai couldn't sit still when she thought of the purpose of her trip. Isn't this an opportunity that comes right to her door? Of course, she is not an arrogant person, so she has to go over and see what the situation is.

But based on her experience, he was either bitten by a poisonous creature or suffered an external injury, such as falling down a mountain or being hit by something. If there was no internal injury, she had medicine for both!

Tian Cai wrapped the pancake casually and ran towards the path they had just left.

In Kaoshan Village at the foot of the mountain, Zhang Baocai, with a pale face, was being carried in turns by several strong young men. Today he went up the mountain with some friends, intending to hunt some wild animals to satisfy his cravings, but ended up being bitten by a poisonous snake.

Zhang Baocai half-opened his eyes and gasped for breath. He was able to lie on Luo Daqiang's back only because of the support of several people beside him. He had no strength in his arms now. Ever since he was bitten by the snake, he saw double.

As the captain's only son, Zhang Baocai knew exactly how far it was from Kaoshan Village to the county. Even if Dongzi ran back to his father to arrange a donkey cart, it would be useless. No matter how fast the donkey cart ran, it would still take more than three hours to get to the county health center, and he would be dead by then.

He couldn't help but secretly regret why he didn't listen and insisted on going to the mountain. He hadn't married yet and hadn't left any children for the Zhang family. If he died, his grandparents and parents would be heartbroken.

Thinking of his father's broom knob, Zhang Bao felt that he could still hold on.

As soon as she entered the village, Zhang Baocai's grandmother rushed over. She saw her dying grandson lying on someone's back, his calves were bruised and swollen, black blood was oozing out, and there were several blood blisters around them. This scene almost made her faint, and she hugged Zhang Baocai and started howling.

"My precious talent—"

Baocai's mother was able to remain calm and quickly arranged for someone to put him on the removed door panel. The old doctor had said before that if you are bitten by a snake, remember not to move too much, otherwise the poison will take effect faster.

The only donkey cart in the village had not returned from delivering farm tools for repair yet, so they could only find someone to carry it to the clinic of Beishan Brigade. Maybe they would see another donkey cart on the way.

After learning from Dongzi that his son had been bitten by a snake, and asking him to stop people at the village entrance, Zhang Defa hurried back. The old doctor had told him about several herbs for detoxification, one of which was called Banzhilian. Since the village was close to the mountain, he knew where it was.

He fed the crushed Scutellaria barbata juice into Zhang Baocai's mouth. After a while, Zhang Baocai opened his eyes tremblingly and blinked weakly, but still could not see clearly.

No, the poison hasn't been completely eliminated yet. Thinking of the eldest son of the Zhao family who lost his life last year after being bitten by a snake, Zhang Defa turned around and picked up another handful of half-branch lotus, "Continue!"

"I have an antidote!" Tian Cai had been there since he was feeding him the half-branch lotus. Seeing that they had antidote herbs, he thought his plan might fail. But then he realized they only knew about the half-branch lotus. Although it couldn't completely eliminate the snake venom, it could still sustain him until he could get to the hospital. "Just feeding him the half-branch lotus won't work. We're still missing several other herbs."

Zhang Defa looked at the unfamiliar girl in front of him and didn't bother to ask who she was. "Do you really have medicine?"

Facing his pressing gaze, Tian Cai nodded calmly, "It's true."

She had just asked a few other young men, and according to them, the snake that bit her was probably a pit viper.

Tian Cai took out the bottle of detoxification pills from his backpack and poured out a pill. He squatted down and stuffed it into Zhang Baocai's mouth. He pressed on his neck and saw that the dying Zhang Baocai swallowed the pill.

Seeing him swallow it, Baocai's mother wiped away her tears and pulled her mother-in-law who wanted to stop her. There was nothing worth plotting against their family, and Baocai was already in this condition. Without other medicines, the snake venom could not be completely eliminated. What if he went to the health center and it couldn't be cured?

"If she says there's medicine, does that mean it's available? She doesn't even know what kind of snake bit Baocai. What if the medicine doesn't work and it only wastes time?"

"She just asked Brother Daqiang, and she said it was some kind of viper, and it's extremely poisonous."

"What else can we do? There's no doctor in our village, and if we get bit by a venomous snake, there's no time to go to the clinic!"

"Oh, stop talking, let's take a look first!"

Not long after taking the medicine, Zhang Baocai felt much better. The feeling of being unable to move his body disappeared, and his numb left leg gradually regained sensation.

Now, even people who don’t know medicine know that the snake venom in his body has been cured.

People's eyes immediately changed when they looked at the medicine bottle in Tian Cai's hand.

Tian Cai placed her hand on Zhang Baocai's wrist and felt it carefully. This was not her first time taking someone's pulse, but it was her first time since she decided to become a doctor. With her increasingly sensitive five senses, the noisy environment around her did not affect her at all.

The slight rise and fall of his pulse corresponded to the symptoms of poisoning described in medical books. "There's still some poison left. I'll help clean your wound later."

Zhang Baocai finally found the strength to speak again, and said with lingering fear, "I thought I wouldn't survive today!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Gao Huijuan couldn't help but hit him, and Baocai's grandmother nodded. It was rare that she didn't stop her daughter-in-law from hitting her grandson.
