Jiang Shuyue glanced back at Gao Mu and Cang Yun, and Gao Mu reacted very quickly.
He suddenly appeared in front of the man.
No one saw how he moved. The man seemed to faint, his body went limp, and he pressed down on Zhang Man. The man was too big, and Zhang Man stumbled and almost fell.
Gao Mu reacted quickly, reaching out with his right hand to catch the man securely.
Cang Yun quickly lent a hand, and together with Gao Mu, they placed the man on a bamboo chair in the main room.
The woman holding the child was stunned by the scene before her.
After a moment of stunned silence, she looked at the aloof and otherworldly Jiang Shuyue.
He stammered, "Are they... are they... here to treat illnesses?"
"You're from the Qing family, right? Don't be afraid, my guards have put him to sleep with a pressure point, he's just temporarily asleep."
Just to be on the safe side, Jiang Shuyue asked her husband about his daily routine.
Today, to celebrate my birthday, I'm working on the farm. My wife and the other women from the village have gone up the mountain to cut grass to feed the rabbits.
While cutting grass, I picked some mushrooms to make soup.
As soon as dinner was served, the baby started crying, so she went to breastfeed the baby.
The husband thought he would take over taking care of the child later so that his wife could have a quiet meal, so he ate dinner by himself first.
After the wife finished feeding the child, she saw her husband grinning foolishly in the main room, as if he were possessed.
After listening to his wife's description, Jiang Shuyue confirmed that the problem was with the mushrooms.
"Miss, the water temperature is just right. Should we force-feed Qingsheng this water immediately?" When the head steward learned that Qingsheng had been poisoned, his first thought was to induce vomiting.
He was worried that there wouldn't be enough water, so he specially found a very large soup bowl.
"Don't rush, wait a moment."
As usual, Jiang Shuyue took her pulse first.
Seeing that Jiang Shuyue's pulse diagnosis showed she was indeed skilled in medicine, the villagers craned their necks to wait for the results.
A woman, curious, went inside the house to get a closer look, but was stopped outside by the village head.
Zhang Qiu found a wooden basin from somewhere and placed it at Qing Sheng's feet.
"Miss, I can handle the vomiting."
Zhang Qiu was worried that the filth would splash onto Jiang Shuyue's clothes.
Zhang Man supported Qing Sheng from behind the chair to prevent him from slipping to the ground.
Gao Mu and Cang Yun stood on either side of Jiang Shuyue, looking ready to be deployed at any moment.
After making the diagnosis, Jiang Shuyue decided to induce vomiting first and then give the patient the antidote pills.
She said to Gao Mu and Cang Yun, "Wake him up, then feed him that bowl of water."
Gao Mu tapped Qing Sheng's chest with his index finger as swiftly as lightning.
When Qing Sheng woke up, her gaze was fixed on the person in front of her, as if she had lost her soul.
Gao Mu took the soup bowl from the head steward and said to Qingsheng, "I apologize for my inconvenience."
Cangyun quickly restrained Qingsheng's hands, rendering him unable to move.
Gao Mu grabbed Qing Sheng's chin with one hand, and with a "glug glug" sound, he poured the whole bowl of water down her throat, not leaving a single drop.
Qiuju tugged at Jiang Shuyue's sleeve: "Miss, let's go wait over there."
After drinking a large bowl of water, Qing Sheng was so full that his eyes rolled back in his head.
Seeing Jiang Shuyue and Qiuju walk away, Gao Mu suddenly jabbed his index finger into Qingsheng's abdomen.
"Wow!"
A loud "whoosh" sound rang out, and the room was immediately filled with a foul stench.
Qiuju pulled Jiang Shuyue back to the doorway.
Once the vomiting stopped during the birthday celebration, his wife, disregarding the pungent smell, went over to him.
The woman held her child and wept with joy, saying, "He threw up, he threw up everything, thank God."
The woman wiped away her tears, turned around, and knelt down before Jiang Shuyue. "Thank you for saving my life, young lady. If it weren't for your help, Qingsheng..."
The woman choked up and couldn't continue speaking.
Jiang Shuyue said, "Get up quickly. You're still holding the child. Your husband isn't completely out of danger yet. We'll need to observe him for a while after he takes the medicine to see if he's alright."
Qiuju was also worried that the woman might bump into the child because she was too excited, so she quickly reached out and helped her up.
When the village head heard that medicine was needed, he stepped forward and bowed, saying, "I am the village head. If you need a prescription, I will immediately send someone to prepare pen and ink. There is a doctor in the next village. Once you write the prescription, the medicine can be brought back in just half an hour."
The head of the village picked up the conversation, "We can send Zhang Man and Zhang Qiu."
A woman at the door chimed in, "My stove is still burning; leave the medicine-making to us."
"Thank you, Uncle Village Chief, thank you, Uncle Zhang's family, thank you, Auntie." Qingsheng's wife didn't know what to say, so she kept bowing and thanking everyone.
“Qingsheng’s family, you just need to take good care of the child. Poor thing, your parents-in-law passed away early, and your aunt can’t just stand by and do nothing.”
As she spoke, the woman reached out and took the child from the wife celebrating her birthday, then handed it to a woman in a blue dress under the eaves, saying, "Elder sister, take the child back and settle him in."
Seeing that Qingsheng had vomited until there was nothing left to vomit, Zhang Qiu quickly took the wooden basin and went out through another door.
After vomiting, the person was almost completely exhausted and slumped in the chair.
The village head and everyone else looked at Jiang Shuyue with expectant eyes, hoping she would say that she could prescribe medicine.
Jiang Shuyue took out a white porcelain bottle, poured out a few antidote pills and placed them in her palm.
"I was worried about the snakes and rats on the estate, so I carried antidote pills with me at all times, so there was no need to prescribe medicine or decoct it."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Jiang Shuyue's explanation.
Zhuang Tou hurriedly said to Qing Sheng's wife, "Quickly, bring another bowl of water for her to take the medicine."
Gao Mu, worried that the lingering stench in the room might bother Jiang Shuyue, came over and took the pills.
Celebrating his birthday, his wife was also an honest person; she brought over a large bowl of water in a soup bowl.
When Qingsheng saw the bowl of water, he couldn't help but shudder.
"Should I give it to you or will you drink it yourself?" Gao Mu opened his palm and handed the pill to Qing Sheng.
"Brother Qingsheng, don't be afraid. Just swallow the pill. You don't need to drink the whole bowl of water."
Zhang Man sensed Qingsheng's nervousness and quickly explained.
After being forced to vomit, Qing Sheng felt dizzy and her vision blurred.
He looked up and saw that the people in front of him seemed to be able to transform, with countless figures moving in front of him.
From everyone's conversation, he vaguely sensed that he had just returned from a brush with death.
He reached out to take the pill, but his vision was blurry and his hand had gone astray.
"Open your mouth."
Gao Mu was worried that even if he got the pill, he wouldn't be able to find his mouth, so he took advantage of Qing Sheng's open mouth.
With lightning speed, she stuffed the pill into his mouth.
Qingsheng's wife quickly brought the bowl close to her husband's mouth. After taking a sip of water, Qingsheng refused to drink a second sip.
After taking the medicine, Qingsheng sat quietly, no longer babbling incoherently, and no longer clamoring to go fishing in the river.
Everyone just thought the medicine was working too fast.
No one knew that Qing Sheng was intimidated by the two strange men in front of her.
The person in front of me crossed their arms and stared intently at me with a blank expression.
It felt as if the other party would strike a pressure point if I made the slightest movement.
