Chapter 182 Treasure Root
"My last name is Li, you can just call me Xiao Li!"
Li Song grinned and pointed at the group of people behind him.
"My friends and I are going to the old mountain to look for some medicinal herbs, and we would like to stay overnight at your place!"
The tense expression on Village Chief Ge's face obviously relaxed a little, but his eyes were staring straight at Qin Yi, full of inquiry and suspicion.
"Are these people your friends? They are not comrades from the county, right?"
"No! No! We are all business friends!"
Seeing that Village Chief Ge stared at Qin Yi several times, Li Song hurriedly introduced:
"This is Boss Zhou, he's in the medicinal materials business, and his business is very big! He has connections with Hong Kong City!"
Qin Yi bowed to Village Chief Ge and said:
"Village Chief Ge, we are a few outsiders who want to try our luck in the mountains. We passed by your village on the way. Sorry to bother you!"
Although Qin Yi's words were polite, coupled with his cold face, he had an aura that could not be ignored.
"Sure, sure!"
Village Chief Ge was obviously still suspicious, but he finally put on a polite smile and turned to the man holding a torch next to him and said:
"Shanzhu, take these guests to Lao Ding's house in the west of the village to rest first."
Then he said to Li Song:
"Xiao Li! You are a guest now. You and Boss Zhou should go and have a rest with Shan Zhu first. We have some private matters to attend to. We will welcome you tomorrow."
After saying that, he waved his hand quickly and sharply, signaling Shanzhu to take the person away quickly.
Just as they were talking here, there was a sudden burst of crying and wailing from behind.
"Baogen! Baogen! What's wrong with you! Baogen!"
"Grandpa, Baogen is dying..."
Village Chief Ge's face turned pale. He no longer cared about the person in front of him. He turned around and ran back.
Qin Yi and Su Tong looked at each other and quickly followed.
When I got closer, I found that next to the blazing bonfire surrounded by the crowd, there was a stretcher, and on the stretcher lay a man in his twenties.
But the man's body was twitching constantly at this moment, and a woman was kneeling beside him, crying loudly and at a loss.
Next to the bonfire was an incense table with offerings placed high and low on it. Behind it, an elderly woman wearing a headscarf and looking strange was also terrified at this time. She was waving a wooden sword tied with a red cloth in her hand vigorously, mumbling something in her mouth, and the more she muttered, the faster she muttered.
At first glance, it is something like exorcism.
It looked like some kind of ceremony was going on here, but it was interrupted by them.
Village Chief Ge ran directly to the man on the stretcher, threw himself on him and said in a sad voice:
"Baogen--you have to hold on!"
The man on the stretcher twitched for a while, then suddenly stopped and fell silent.
"ah--"
The woman on the ground screamed, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.
“Bang—”
The witch who was dancing with the wooden sword suddenly collapsed to the ground, gesticulating wildly with her hands, with a look of fear and helplessness on her face. She was mumbling in her mouth, but could not utter a complete syllable. It turned out that she was a mute.
The surrounding villagers suddenly knelt down in a large group, wailing and making the scene look like they had been prepared for a funeral.
The situation came too suddenly, and Shanzhu had no time to lead the way. He collapsed to the ground with a look of fear on his face, crying loudly:
"Baogen! You can't leave like this!"
Although no one knew who this Baogen was, he actually made so many people in the village stay up late at night to see him off.
But Su Tong saw clearly that the person on the stretcher seemed to have fainted due to excessive convulsions, and might be able to be saved.
At this time, Qin Yi had stepped forward and whispered to Village Chief Ge:
"Village Chief Ge, I have a doctor with me. Would you like to have him take a look?"
Village Chief Ge already had a dejected look on his face. Hearing this, he turned around and looked at Qin Yi for a long while. He seemed to finally react and nodded hurriedly.
"Good! Good! Look! Look!"
Qin Yi winked at Chen Yunfeng.
Chen Yunfeng is the team doctor, so he will naturally be the first to take charge of medical matters. Su Tong is the boss's woman now, so she will not be allowed to step forward unless it is absolutely necessary.
Chen Yunfeng quickly stepped forward and felt the man's neck and forehead, then did a preliminary examination of his entire body, and said:
"The high fever caused convulsions and he fell into a deep coma."
Then he looked up and looked around, "This is not a place for patients to stay for long. We need to move back to the house quickly."
This place is halfway up the mountain. The area is flat and open, so the mountain wind is particularly strong. If you stand there for a while, you can feel the bone-chilling chill. I don't know how long this person has been lying here.
"You mean... Baogen... can still be saved!"
The woman on the ground was woken up by the person next to her. She struggled to get up after hearing what was said and asked in a trembling voice.
She looked like she was on the verge of collapse and could not withstand any more disturbance.
Chen Yunfeng only said in a deep voice:
"He is still alive, but in critical condition. It is uncertain whether he can be saved."
Without waiting for the woman to respond, Village Chief Ge shouted:
"Move! Move! Listen to the doctor! Move quickly!"
"All of you, go away! Get out of the way!"
Village chief Ge dispersed the crowd while directing people to carry Baogen.
The witch next to her also got up and hurriedly cleaned up the incense table.
Su Tong was pushed aside by the people carrying the stretcher, and happened to be squeezed next to the incense table. He accidentally discovered that among the offerings, talisman paper, incense sticks, there was actually a pen that looked quite valuable.
Having a pen is not strange enough. What is more strange is that this pen is placed in a plate like an offering and is placed in the middle. It looks like it was placed there on purpose.
Su Tong just glanced casually when she was pushed over, but the witch glared at her fiercely and put everything on the incense table into a big cloth bag.
An arm stretched out from the side to protect Su Tong.
Qin Yi's voice rang out, "Follow me closely!"
——————
Baogen was carried into a nearby house. All the villagers were sent back home. According to Chen Yunfeng's request, only three or two relatives were left to cooperate.
The team members rested in the main room for a while, while Qin Yi, Li Song and Su Tong accompanied Village Chief Ge in the inner room.
Chen Yunfeng needs to give Baogen antipyretics as soon as possible.
Baogen was in a deep coma with his teeth clenched. Chen Yunfeng dissolved the pills in warm water and wanted to feed him the medicine, but it was not convenient for him to do it alone.
Standing next to them was the woman who had been kneeling and crying just now. She was now stretching out her hands and was shaking so much that she had no idea how to help.
Seeing that Chen Yunfeng had tried several times to feed the medicine but failed, Su Tong stepped forward, took a pair of chopsticks in one hand and clamped Baogen's jaw with the other hand. He didn't know where he pinched, but Baogen's mouth opened a crack.
Su Tong immediately held Bao Gen's teeth with chopsticks, and Chen Yunfeng took the opportunity to quickly pour the medicine into his mouth in one go.
Su Tong's hands were seen on both sides of his throat, pinching or smoothing them, and he swallowed all the medicine without spilling a drop.
