Chapter 30 Saved my life
Many of the poisoned people we saw along the way looked sick and had purple lips.
She had just collected some herbs for detoxification yesterday, but now so many families are in trouble, the herbs are definitely not enough.
Moreover, even if used, it may not completely eliminate the toxin.
So Zhao Chunhua simply put the matter on the table: "I can go to the mountains to search for some herbs with good detoxification effects, but it's hard to say whether they will really work."
"But if I don't find herbs to save them, they will definitely die." She could only try any possible means to cure her illness.
Zhang Ruoan frowned, thought for a while, and finally said, "Forget it, let's do it this way. Sister Zhao, just use your method. I believe in you. If something goes wrong, I will take responsibility."
Zhao Chunhua was a little surprised when she heard this, and a surge of gratitude welled up in her heart. Zhang Ruoan was indeed a dedicated village chief.
The situation was urgent, so Zhao Chunhua immediately decided to go up the mountain to find medicine to detoxify.
Seeing this, the villagers all volunteered to go along with them to look for the missing person.
Zhang Dajun and Zhang Daniu originally planned to help, but were stopped by Zhao Chunhua.
"If both of you run away, who will take care of our things? Go back and guard the house!"
Zhang Dajun curled his lips and could only take Zhang Daniu back helplessly.
With the help of her fellow villagers, Zhao Chunhua quickly collected enough herbs.
Just as she was returning with a full load, the second and third branches were surrounded by a group of angry villagers. Zhang Defu and Zhang Dunzi had both suffered physical pain, and even the usually clever Zhang Erxi was slapped twice in the chaos.
"You two are so cruel that you gave us such medicine. My son is still lying in bed. I will teach you a lesson!" After saying that, he was about to attack again.
Bai Xiaowei was extremely anxious when she saw her man being beaten. When she saw Zhao Chunhua and the others coming back, she quickly said, "Look, Zhao Chunhua is back. We have to settle accounts with her. We all followed her instructions to find medicine. This matter has nothing to do with us, right?"
But the villagers didn't believe her at all. They pointed at her nose and cursed: "Now that the evidence is solid, do you still want to frame others? I think you are a vicious woman! Your whole family is not a good person!"
Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Zhang Dunzi suddenly thought and pointed at Zhang Defu and shouted, "Uncles and uncles, this matter is all
Zhang Defu was the one who planned it all. He was the one who took the lead in finding the herbs. He should be held accountable!"
Zhang Defu's eyes widened, and he was so angry that he jumped up and down: "What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean it was all my idea? You got the benefits, right? When there's a problem, you blame everything on me?"
Zhang Dunzi was also annoyed: "If you hadn't instigated this, would I have been implicated? Why did you let me suffer with you?"
The two brothers glared at each other and began to blame each other.
Zhang Defu counterattacked: "I didn't force you to work with me. Because you can't recognize which are the poisonous grasses and can't tell the difference between the heartbreak grass and the honeysuckle, you ended up harming so many people."
Zhang Dunzi was not to be outdone: "Don't you think you are also at fault? If you said you could identify it clearly, why didn't you find out it was Gelsemium elegans? You only gave me one-third of the things you exchanged for flour, and you put most of the rest into your own pocket!"
The two of them argued endlessly.
Zhang Ruoan couldn't stand it anymore and shouted: "What are you arguing about! Isn't this noisy enough? If you keep arguing, I'll kick you out of the village immediately!"
Zhang Defu and Zhang Dunzi immediately fell silent.
Zhang Ruoan looked at the other villagers again and said, "Okay, let's talk about Zhang Defu and Zhang Dunzi later. Zhao Chunhua is cooking the antidote, why don't you go and help?"
After the village chief said this, the few people stopped making a fuss and ran to help Zhao Chunhua.
Based on previous experience, Zhao Chunhua quickly cooked a pot of detoxifying soup, which Zhang Tianfu and Zhang Dajun distributed to the villagers.
She specially added many fine medicinal herbs from her own private collection into the medicine soup, hoping that these medicines could take effect quickly, otherwise she was really worried about whether she could save these people's lives.
Seeing that Zhao Chunhua now had a lot of influence in front of Zhang Ruoan, and that the villagers were also very grateful to her, Zhu Fangfang came up with a plan in mind.
Taking advantage of Zhao Chunhua's opportunity to rest, he quickly ran to her side.
As soon as Zhao Chunhua saw Zhu Fangfang coming, she knew something bad was going to happen.
"Third brother's wife, what are you doing here? You don't want me to ask the village chief for mercy for you, do you?"
Seeing that her intention was exposed, Zhu Fangfang's face turned red and white, but she did not stop.
As the saying goes, it is not easy to be rejected when you greet someone with a smile, so Zhu Fangfang took out a bag of black flour and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I know your words carry a lot of weight now. As long as you help our family, I will give you this bag of flour."
Maybe because she had eaten too well these days, Zhao Chunhua had no interest in that little bit of black flour at all.
She sneered, "Who would be interested in your bag of flour? In previous years, you didn't even think of giving our family any good stuff. Now that you're in trouble, you come here to curry favor with us?"
"I tell you, it's too late!"
Seeing that Zhao Chunhua directly rejected her, Zhu Fangfang was very dissatisfied, but she did not dare to really turn against Zhao Chunhua.
I had no choice but to continue to agree with her: "Yes, yes, we did wrong in the past and caused sister-in-law to suffer. But no matter what, we are still a family. When the second brother was alive, he loved the third brother the most. Sister-in-law, please do it for the sake of the second brother..."
"What are you looking at!"
Zhao Chunhua interrupted her, "You guys are just trying to use the dead to justify your actions when you do bad things. I tell you, if my second brother were still alive, he would teach you a lesson first! If you dare to say something like that again, I will just hit you with a stick, get out of here!"
Seeing Zhao Chunhua's fierce look, Zhu Fangfang was frightened and quickly grabbed the bag of flour and ran out.
Everyone wanted to make fun of it even though they saw that it didn't work out, but considering the current situation, they could only hold their breath and not laugh.
Fortunately, after taking the antidote prepared by Zhao Chunhua, everyone began to recover gradually.
Although he cannot fully recover for the time being, at least he is alive.
Zhao Chunhua herself did not expect the medicine to be so effective. She quickly wrote down the names of these herbs and planned to collect more next time and store them to plant in her own space.
At the same time, Zhang Ruoan invited several influential elders in the village and Zhao Chunhua to discuss how to deal with the issues of Zhang Defu and Zhang Dunzi.
Zhang Ruoan cleared his throat and said, "This incident has affected several families. Many people want to drive these two families out of the village to take refuge. What do you think we should do?"
Zhao Chunhua said bluntly: "Just deal with them as they should! They had bad intentions and almost killed someone for a little food. It's only right to chase them away!"
After hearing this, the others nodded in support.
