Chapter 417: A Feast After the Rain



He Jianhua was transferred to Linzhi Military Hospital that night.

He was out of danger three days later.

Xie Wan was not able to go to Linzhi.

That night, she fainted while explaining the patient's condition to the experts at Linzhi Military Hospital.

Fortunately, two experts from Linzhi said after the examination that she fainted just because she had just become pregnant, had consumed too much physical energy, and was too mentally stressed.

The two experts from Linzhi were embarrassed to let a pregnant woman accompany them during the transfer, so they took over all of He Jianhua's subsequent transfer and treatment.

Xie Wan rested for a night and was basically recovered.

Opening the window, the fresh air from the plateau after the rain refreshes one's heart. Qin Muye has already gone to work. Before leaving, he asked Xie Wan to take a day off. If there is any problem in the bathroom, Xiao Huang will come to find her.

Xie Wan heard the children talking outside the yard.

When I pushed the door open, I saw the eldest girl from the Wang family next door carrying her youngest brother on her back, followed by the second and third sons of the Wang family, carrying baskets and walking out.

"Girl, what are you going to do?"

“Auntie Xie, let’s go pick mushrooms.

It just rained, and there are a lot of mushrooms on the grassland. "

When Xie Wan heard this, saliva began to flow from her mouth. She had been suffering from severe morning sickness in the past two days and really didn't want to eat anything, but a plate of stir-fried pork with mushrooms seemed like a good idea.

Zhang Xiaolan might have heard Xie Wan's voice at home, so she ran out and shouted, "Xiao Xie, come in and sit down. Let the children go pick mushrooms. I'll give you half of the mushrooms we pick."

Xie Wan had nothing to do today, so he wanted to experience the fun of picking mushrooms himself. He shook his head and said, "Sister Zhang, I'll go and have some fun with you."

Zhang Xiaolan was entrusted by Qin Muye this morning to help look after Xie Wan. She said worriedly, "Xiao Xie, you just got pregnant, you shouldn't be so exhausted. I heard that you fainted from exhaustion after saving a soldier yesterday. You should rest in bed for a day today.

I'll make lunch for you, just don't move."

With Xie Wan's personality, no one can stop her from doing what she wants to do. After much persuasion, Zhang Xiaolan finally had to instruct Da Niu and Xiao Bing to take good care of their Aunt Xie.

Xie Wan went back to the house, carried a bamboo basket, and happily followed the children to pick mushrooms.

The plateau meadow after the rain seems to have been washed, fresh and peaceful.

The early morning sunlight shines through the thin clouds and onto the wet grass. Crystal clear water droplets hang on the green grass, like pearls given by nature.

The air is filled with the fragrance of earth and grass, and the Himalayas in the distance seem like a secluded palace in the sky.

The eldest girl and her two younger brothers were like happy little birds, chirping non-stop.

The little treasure on the big girl's back sipped on Xie Wan's White Rabbit milk candy and blinked his eyes with satisfaction.

"Big girl, put Xiaobao down. I'll lead him away."

The girl supported Xiaobao's butt and said, "He walks slowly and delays things. I'll put him down when we get there."

Xie Wan likes the eldest girl very much. The other children in Zhang Xiaolan's family were all raised by her on her back.

This child is sensible and hardworking.

There is a forest at the foot of the mountain, and the children usually collect firewood there.

The big girl said there were the most mushrooms there.

The muddy ground after the rain was soft and slippery. The children ran through the woods like they were treasure hunters, looking for mushrooms everywhere.

"Look, I found it!" The girl suddenly shouted excitedly. She squatted on the ground and pointed at a round, green mushroom. "This is a blue-headed mushroom. It's so beautiful!"

Xie Wan walked over, took it and looked at it. She had never seen this kind of mushroom before: "Girl, can this green-headed mushroom be eaten?"

The eldest girl said with certainty, "They are edible and very fresh. I picked a lot of them a while ago and brought them back to my mother. My mother even killed a chicken and stewed them together."

Xie Wan imagined the taste of chicken stewed with mushrooms and swallowed.

The types of fungi she knew were limited to a few that were commonly seen in supermarkets in later generations. Since the big girl said that the green-headed mushroom was edible, Xie Wan looked for it accordingly.

Soon, she found one too.

The soldier was not to be outdone. He found a mushroom not far away and ran over excitedly: "Thank you, Auntie. I found one too!"

In his hand he held a colorful mushroom with red and white spots.

Xie Wan heard that the more beautiful the mushroom, the more poisonous it is, so he hurriedly called the girl over to identify it.

When the girl saw it, she knocked the mushroom out of the soldier's hand and said, "Soldier, you can't eat this mushroom. It's a fly agaric, it's poisonous."

Xie Wan suddenly realized, "This is the Amanita muscaria?"

She had seen in medical books that the fly agaric is one of the most poisonous mushrooms. It contains agaricin, ibotenic acid, and muscimol. Agaricin has a hallucinogenic effect and can penetrate the blood-brain barrier, while muscimol can stimulate the parasympathetic nerves. Small doses can produce neuropsychiatric symptoms, while large doses may cause epilepsy and coma.

This thing is useless to others, but it might be useful to Xie Wan. She reached out to Xiaobing and asked for it: "Xiaobing, can you give me this fly agaric? I'll take it back and study it."

The girl hurriedly emphasized to Xie Wan, "Aunt Xie, you must not eat this mushroom. You will go crazy if you eat it."

Xie Wan repeatedly assured that he would never eat it.

"You forgot that my aunt is a doctor. I need to study it to know how to treat patients if I encounter one who has taken the drug."

The children were very naive and thought that Xie Wan really took it for research, and when she saw the Amanita muscaria, she specially gave it to her.
