Chapter 11



Food poisoning!

Looking at the subsequent mission rewards, 20 points, it is clear that human lives are at stake.

Jiang Xi's face immediately changed, and she was about to go find the poisoned person, but before leaving, she paused. As a doctor, she had no silver needles, no medicine, and was empty-handed. How could she treat the patient?

The most urgent thing is medicinal materials.

It just so happens that the medicinal materials in the system can be used.

There were still 21 points left. Jiang Xi subconsciously held Pei Hejun's hand tightly and said, "System, do you have any processed patchouli, mint, and five-finger oranges..."

System: [Yes, how much? ]

Jiang Xi reported the quantity, and the system responded: [You need a smaller quantity, 15 points in total]

Fortunately, I can afford it.

Jiang Xi asked for it immediately, and the thing soon appeared in the small box she brought with her. She opened it and saw a freshly opened medicine packet neatly wrapped in paper.

Then there was a noise outside: "Hello, wife of the military! My wife has been vomiting all day and now she has cramps. Can you see how she is doing?"

Jiang Xi walked out quickly and saw an honest and simple man putting a tall and thin woman on the ground. The woman's face looked very ugly, and it could be said that she was breathing more than breathing in.

The man's eyes turned red: "He Jun's wife, go take a look at her!"

Jiang Xi squatted down to feel her pulse, and then looked at other features. Combined with the food poisoning the system had said, he determined the basic symptoms, and then said, "Wait for me for a moment."

She strode to the kitchen, and Pei's mother also came over at this time, followed by an old lady.

Mother Pei said anxiously: "Xiaoxi, you don't know how to read these. Let's not mess around, or something bad will happen!"

It looked like Xisheng's wife was not in good condition. If something really happened, Xisheng's mother would not let her off. She would have to lose money no matter what. If she died, she would probably have to suffer a huge loss.

Jiang Xi smiled and said, "It's okay, I can cure it."

Pei's mother broke out in a cold sweat and tried to stop him: "It would be terrible if something really happened. Let's not do it..."

But at this time, Jiang Xi had already carried water in. She saw that soap was added to the water? After it melted, it made bubbles. She held a scoop and was about to pour it into Xisheng's wife. What was she doing? !

Pei's mother was so panicked that she thought this was a joke and wanted to rush over to grab the person, but was pulled back by Xisheng's mother behind her. The latter smiled and said, "Sister Guizhi, let's not go. Your daughter-in-law is so amazing, she will definitely be able to do it."

Mother Pei couldn't stop her, Qi Liao yelled angrily: "Let me go!"

Xisheng's mother refused to let her go. She didn't care about her daughter-in-law's life or death. If she died, the Pei family would have to pay for it. If she lived, that would be a good thing as they wouldn't have to pay for medical expenses.

Pei's mother was helpless and beat Xisheng's mother several times in anger. Unable to break the quarrel, she stamped her feet and cursed Xu Cui to death in her heart.

Xisheng is also a fool. He saw that his wife was in bad condition, but he still listened to his mother and sent her over.

Seeing the soapy water pouring in, Pei's mother shut up completely and could only pay the money.

Jiang Xi still didn't know why her mother-in-law broke down.

She poured the soapy water into her mouth. The man was honest and helped pry open her mouth quickly, so the water went in smoothly. She poured too much water in and soon the woman vomited it all out, making a mess on the floor.

Jiang Xi let the man hold it: "You have to drink it yourself, even if she vomits. After you're done, let her vomit it out."

The man nodded quickly and did as he was told.

Jiang Xi went in again and got the herbs prepared by the system and boiled them first. Time was too tight. Fortunately, the herbs were all processed by the system. There were many guests today and the stove in the kitchen had not been turned off, so they could be used directly now.

She had done this kind of thing, boiling medicine many times, and it just so happened that the Pei family also had medicine jars, so everything was very convenient.

After adding water and medicine, Jiang Xi didn't need to stand by and watch. Instead, he dissolved some salt water and waited for the woman to finish vomiting before feeding her the medicine.

The vomiting and diarrhea are so severe that I guess he is dehydrated.

After finishing the drink, the woman looked better, not as lifeless as before, but she still lay powerless in the man's arms, her eyes half open and half closed. The man saw it, and hugged his wife with lingering fear, choking and saying, "I was scared to death, Aimee, why did you vomit so hard?"

The woman named Aimee was too weak to speak, nor did she seem to want to speak. She closed her eyes in silence.

The two old ladies who were pulling at the side separated. Xisheng's mother ran over and took a look at her daughter-in-law's improved complexion. She regretted that she could not cheat her. She said in disdain, "Aimei has always been lazy and greedy. Who knows, she might have eaten something secretly and got into trouble. Why are you so worried? She won't die."

"Who are they?" Pei's mother muttered. Things had come to this point and she couldn't chase them away, so she went over with a gloomy face to help watch the fire.

Jiang Xi said unhappily, "She must have eaten some rotten fish or shrimp and got food poisoning. It's not too serious. It's just that she's too weak, so she reacted so badly. Did you eat these?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the man's face froze. He looked at his mother and said nothing.

Xisheng's mother waved her hands: "Where can I get this? If there's fish, shouldn't we eat it right away?"

But Li Aimei said in an angry voice: "I ate the leftover fish from yesterday. Mother wanted to give it to Xisheng, but Xisheng didn't eat it and it went bad, so mother gave it to me."

In this hot summer, how can the fish left over from yesterday not go bad today?

Jiang Xi glanced at her and warned her, "Don't eat spoiled food in the future."

Li Aimei's eyes became moist. She had just drunk some water when tears started to flow from the corners of her eyes. She looked like she wanted to say something but didn't dare to.

The man holding her also cried softly, murmuring: "It's my fault, it's my fault..."

He wanted his wife to have a bite, so he was unwilling to eat it. But his mother refused to give in. The two sides were deadlocked until the next day when the food became smelly. His mother was reluctant to let him eat it, but also didn't want to waste it, so she gave it to his wife. As a result, something bad happened after she ate it.

Xisheng's mother couldn't bear to see her son like this, so she put her hands on her hips and yelled, "What's your ambition? It's just a little illness. Doesn't he look better now? Is it necessary to be like this? You are useless!"

She was unhappy, and she urged him with a curse: "Okay, wimp, your wife is fine, leave her here alone, you come back to work with me, if you slack off again you will lose work points!"

The man stopped crying, put the woman down, carried his wife to a stool nearby, and walked away with his head down.

Mother Pei came out of the kitchen and saw that the annoying person was gone. Her expression improved, but she was still so angry that she gnashed her teeth: "This woman is really cruel! She doesn't treat her daughter-in-law as a human being! Her son is also a coward. He doesn't even dare to protect his daughter-in-law. He ran away as soon as the woman said a word. Ai Mei married such a person, it's a pity!"

The soft woman sitting on the chair burst into tears again, but she didn't dare to cry out loud. She was extremely upset.

Mother Pei was also sad. She looked at her daughter-in-law again and said with a headache: "Xiaoxi, you are really impulsive this time. It seems that Xisheng's daughter-in-law is not fully recovered yet. Why don't you send her to the clinic?"

The water boiled quickly. Jiang Xi calculated the time and watched the water change color. He immediately squeezed out some water and brought it to Li Aimei. He poured water from the two cups in turn, waiting for the temperature to drop while answering her mother-in-law's question: "Mom, I got some herbs that can cure this disease. She drank it, the poison was detoxified, and she will get better after nourishing her body."

Fortunately, it is a minor illness and the herbs needed are not very expensive. I will be fine after taking this medicine and taking good care of myself.

Mother Pei was surprised and doubtful: "Are you serious?"

"Really? I won't do anything that I'm not sure of." Jiang Xi smiled at her and gave the cooled potion to Li Aimei to drink.

Li Aimei looked lifeless, but when the medicine was brought to her lips, although the medicinal taste was still very light, the bitterness was not weakened at all. She opened her mouth impatiently, gulped down the medicine, and licked her lips as if she was not satisfied, not wanting to miss a drop of the soup.

She has a strong sense of business.

Jiang Xi felt relieved.

Li Aimei's empty stomach was relieved by the warm medicine. She felt much better and more energetic. She whispered, "Thank you very much."

"It's okay, you take a rest first." Jiang Xi waved his hands and went to wash the teacup.

Pei's mother followed behind her, expectant but also anxious: "Xiaoxi, tell me the truth, how good are your medical skills?"

At first she thought that it would be enough to cure the headache and fever. Her daughter-in-law looked too serious, so it would definitely not work. But her daughter-in-law was so sure, she couldn't help but look forward to it, wondering if she really had the skills.

"Hmm..." Jiang Xi thought for a moment, wondering what to say, and then he saw Mother Pei's nervous look, and couldn't bear it for a moment, so he whispered: "As long as there are medicinal herbs, and the disease is not particularly serious, I can cure most diseases, such as fever and cold, common poisoning, bone fractures, backaches..."

When she first learned general medicine from her master, she had treated all kinds of diseases. Later, she practiced medicine independently and also saw various diseases. However, at that time, there were many high-tech medical devices to assist. Now that she is alone, she dare not say too much and has been much more reserved.

However, the more Jiang Xi spoke, the brighter Pei's mother's eyes became, and in the end she was in a trance: "My goodness, what kind of daughter-in-law did I marry!"

He can cure so many diseases, he is much more powerful than the barefoot doctor before!

Especially since such a powerful person married her still unconscious son, Pei's mother panicked.

His son might die any day, and he only had a little pension and savings. How could he marry such a great daughter-in-law? Even without this medical skill, Pei's mother felt from the beginning that Jiang Xi could marry a better family, but the difference was not so obvious at that time.

Mother Pei suddenly thought of something in her excitement and held on to a glimmer of hope: "Xiaoxi, can you cure the third child's condition?"

Jiang Xi shook his head with regret: "I can only recuperate. Whether I can get better depends on my luck."

Mother Pei suddenly calmed down again, feeling sad.

Yes, Xiaoxi said that it doesn’t have to be a very serious case. Her son is already in this state, it is already very serious, so of course she can’t do it.

But soon the sadness in Pei's mother's heart disappeared. Her daughter-in-law was so capable. Even if her son's money ran out one day, she would not have to worry about her future life. She could also marry into a good family with her skills, which was also a good thing.

It’s just that my son is not that lucky.
