Although he was a little puzzled, Huadong didn't take it to heart.
But right after that, his health condition took a turn for the worse. He began to become weak, often sick, and his limbs became weak.
At first, Hua Jiaqing's family thought he was too tired and that was why he got sick. But after taking some medicine to strengthen his body, they found that it had no effect at all, so they panicked.
Monks often have good physical fitness, and they rarely catch colds and fevers that only ordinary people may suffer from. Even if they do happen to catch colds and fevers, they will recover quickly.
It was also at this time that Huadong began to vomit blood, and then he could not even stand up. From then on, he was bedridden and completely unable to move.
"We went to find an alchemist, and he said he was poisoned, but he didn't know what the poison was." Hua Jiaqing's face was bitter. "Mom and I bought all the detoxification pills we could find and gave them to Dad, but they didn't work."
It was also at this time that Hua Dong realized that all this might have been caused by that small wound.
"The alchemist can't tell, which shows that it's not common. Ordinary detoxification pills can't cure the poison." Ning Zhishui said, "Besides, you've already missed the best opportunity. Even if there is a detoxification pill that is suitable for your condition, it won't be very effective."
There is an optimal time for detoxification. If you miss the opportunity, the toxicity will continue to spread and damage your internal organs.
At this time, if you want to cure him, you need more than just an antidote pill.
However, Ning Zhishui felt that the reason why Hua Dong was able to barely stay alive might be because of the effect of those detoxification pills.
"Daddy doesn't want to see the alchemist and refuses to go no matter what. I really regret it..." Hua Jiaqing's nose felt sore.
Before Daddy's accident, life at home was pretty good. But Huadong was reluctant to spend money, so he kept putting it off until he found an alchemist.
If she and her mother had held on a little longer, perhaps things wouldn't have turned out this way.
"Don't blame yourself. No one wants to see things come to this point." Ning Zhishui patted her shoulder. "How much do you know about the thing that bit your uncle?"
"The alchemist also asked Dad, and he tried hard to recall what he saw. He only said that when he looked down, he saw only dark green seaweed and nothing else. So he guessed that the thing was probably also dark green, thin, and linear, which is why it blended in with the seaweed and was difficult to distinguish." Hua Jiaqing said, "But the alchemist didn't know what it was either."
She had actually tried to look up relevant information in recent years, but she couldn't find out what that thing was.
But Ning Zhishui had a guess.
"I know a creature that is somewhat similar to what you described in all aspects. It is called the black silky snake. Its body is half the size of a little finger and very short. It should be the smallest species of snake." Ning Zhishui said.
"The black silky snake... I've never heard of it." Hua Jiaqing was stunned.
"Well, it's a very rare species, and its toxicity becomes stronger with age. Judging from your father's symptoms, it must still be in its infancy... I guess your father accidentally disturbed it when passing by the seaweed, so it bit you in revenge." Ning Zhishui said.
Childhood...Hua Jiaqing had a complicated expression.
Although she didn't know what kind of snake this was, she inexplicably believed Ning Zhishui's words.
If this is really the case, then Dad is very unfortunate, but it is also a blessing in disguise.
"Is there any way to cure this snake venom?" The next moment, she thought of something and asked hurriedly.
"Your father has been poisoned for many years. Even if there was an antidote, it is no longer effective for him." Ning Zhishui shook his head.
The light in Hua Jiaqing's eyes gradually faded.
She forced a smile and said, "It's okay. At least he's still alive. I can take care of him..."
"But I might have a way to make him stand up." Ning Zhishui said.
Hua Jiaqing raised her head in astonishment, her eyes burning.
Ning Zhishui returned to the house and talked with Huadong for a long time.
She asked in detail about the details of Huadong's bite and his physical condition in recent years.
After asking, Ning Zhishui sought his consent, placed his hand on his wrist, and then let the spiritual energy flow through his body.
At this point, Ning Zhishui also had an idea in mind.
Hua Jiaqing looked straight at Ning Zhishui without asking any questions, but her eyes betrayed her nervousness.
The two of them had just agreed that in order to avoid giving Huadong hope and then disappointment, they would not tell him that they could cure him, but only say that there might be a way to make his symptoms less severe.
"It's okay. I'm already this old and I don't have many days left to live. There's no need to make a fuss." Hua Dong saw that Ning Zhishui was silent, so he smiled and comforted her.
He had long given up hope on his health, but he couldn't bear to see his daughter sad, so he nodded and agreed to cooperate.
How could he expect a little girl like Ning Zhishui to cure him? Even the old alchemist they had consulted back then was helpless.
"I'll go write a recipe."
Ning Zhishui withdrew his hand, stood up and said.
"I'll take you to your room."
Hua Jiaqing stood up suddenly, took Ning Zhishui to her room, quickly closed the door, and then turned around and asked anxiously, "How is it?"
"As long as all the materials are gathered, I'm 80% sure." Ning Zhishui said.
Hua Jiaqing's face flushed with excitement. "Really? That's great! After selling that snail, I'll have enough money to buy those ingredients... Write it down quickly, and I'll go ask around. Some herbs are so popular that I have to reserve them early, otherwise I won't be able to buy them."
Ning Zhishui wanted to say that the several thousand crystals you have might not be enough to buy the materials.
But it doesn’t matter. If that half is not enough, don’t you still have your own half?
"Let's talk about dividing the money later. What's important is to treat your father's illness. Those more than 10,000 crystals will definitely be enough." Ning Zhishui said.
Hua Jiaqing would not agree to anything else. She had already said she wanted a share of the money, so how could she let other things take precedence?
But since it concerned her father's health, she really couldn't refuse. So after struggling for a moment, she finally gritted her teeth and nodded in agreement, "Okay, buy the medicine for Dad first. I'll write you an IOU for the remaining money. I will definitely pay you back. I will never break my promise!"
"Well, I believe you." Ning Zhishui smiled.
She wrote down the recipe and said, "All the herbs are here. If there's anything you can't buy, ask your uncle and his family for help. They'll definitely be able to help, and they won't refuse... This isn't the time to be polite or talk about backbone. Your father's health is the most important thing."
Why did Ning Zhishui reveal his identity to Hua Lin and the others?
Isn’t it just to give Hua Jiaqing some convenience when she is at the Hua family!
With me as my banner, it might be a little difficult to ask them to pay for the pills, but if I just ask them to help find the herbs, then there will definitely be no problem.
