Chapter 6 Antitoxin Serum
Qin Xiangnuan helped her uncle to a corner. She told Yingge and Huangli to stand by, and quietly, concentrating her mind, she entered the space and found the snake venom serum. Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, Qin's uncle, believing she was beyond help, pretended to be relaxed and comforted her, "Little Nuannuan, don't be sad. Perhaps this is where my uncle's fate ends. When he saw the snake, he could have avoided it, but he thought about catching it and bringing it back to you to add some meat to your life."
"Your father loved eating snake soup when he was little. I didn't expect that after we separated that year, I wouldn't be able to see him again."
Uncle Qin coughed twice, obviously in pain.
He grinned, touched Qin Xiangnuan's head and said, "With such a change in the family, Nuannuan, you must grow up and be obedient. If you see your father, tell your uncle a message..." Qin Xiangnuan saw that he was about to say something, and hurriedly stopped him.
It sounds like a will.
Qin Xiangnuan held the serum syringe in her hand, covered it with the cloth on her sleeve, and said to her third uncle, "Third Uncle, I'm afraid it will be a little painful later, you have to bear it. As for those words, wait until you see Dad and tell him in person..."
Before Uncle Qin could react, Qin Xiangnuan had already injected him with snake venom serum.
There was a momentary pain when the needle pierced the skin. Uncle Qin frowned tightly but remained silent like a man.
After about half an incense stick of time, the dark blue lips of the Qin family's third uncle regained a little color, and the signs of poisoning on his body also subsided a lot. Perhaps because of his good physical condition, he was able to move his body and walk a few steps.
"Nuannuan, where did you learn such medical skills?"
Uncle Qin was a little surprised. He didn't know what Qin Xiangnuan had pricked him with, but the snake venom was gone after a while.
Uncle Qin looked at Qin Xiangnuan in surprise. In his impression, the eldest brother's daughter was willful and capricious. She seldom read the textbooks in the private school. She usually just liked to go shopping in the market in the capital with her sisters and buy some jewelry to wear. How come he had never heard that she could treat snake venom?
Upon hearing this, Madam Qin and Lady Liu also rushed over. They were extremely anxious, but when they saw Third Uncle Qin's lively and energetic appearance, they looked at each other and stared at Qin Xiangnuan.
Qin Xiangnuan smiled awkwardly, her mind racing. She grinned and explained, "When I was out playing a while ago, I met an old man in the capital. He said he was well-versed in medicine, and seeing that I had some talent, he wanted to teach me a few things. I learned a little bit from him, and I didn't expect that I could really help Third Uncle..."
The lies she made up managed to scare the Qin family.
The capital city is located at the foot of the emperor, and there are many strange people and things.
If there was any chance, that would be reasonable, so no one asked any further questions.
Qin Xiangnuan's eyes rolled slightly, noticing the sallow complexions of Old Madam Qin and Lady Liu, and then she scanned the others. The women of the General's Mansion were all frail and weak, and they certainly couldn't handle the long journey. They'd all been feeling a bit achy over the past few days, and if they ignored it, the overwork would likely lead to serious illnesses in the future. It would be better to treat them now.
"Mother, Grandmother, if you trust me, why not let Nuannuan take your pulse?"
Qin Xiangnuan found a place to sit down. After all, she was an agent who was proficient in both Chinese and Western medicine, so this little thing was not difficult for her.
Seeing that she was serious, Liu was the first to sit in front of her. Qin Xiangnuan carefully felt her pulse and found no other symptoms except malnutrition. She secretly had an idea in her mind and would find a way to take the medicinal materials out of the space later.
Then he examined and treated other female relatives. Their conditions were similar to Liu's. He took out some medicinal herbs, boiled them and drank them, and then replenished their nutrition and they would be fine.
Seeing the officials looking at her curiously, she took the initiative to take their pulses and prescribe the right medicine for each of them.
The officials were extremely surprised to see that she could accurately describe the pain she had suffered from years of overwork. After taking the prescription, they naturally became more generous and became more friendly to them.
"Cousin, I brought the snake back."
Qin Feng's voice came from a distance, and he came back panting, carrying a snake as long as an adult's arm.
Qin Xiangnuan looked at the pattern and was able to confirm that it was a silver ring snake. It is poisonous but cannot be eaten.
But before she could speak, an officer recognized the snake's species. After explaining, Qin Feng looked at the snake in his hand with some reluctance, and asked cautiously, "Cousin, how about making wine? I heard the owner of the restaurant say that making wine with snake gallbladder is good..."
Soak in wine? Qin Xiangnuan thought about it and came up with an idea.
Put the silver ring snake away for now.
After all this trouble, it was already evening. If we walked any further, we would not be able to go more than a few miles.
After some discussion, the people at the General's Mansion decided to camp there again, resting for a day to recuperate and gather their strength, hoping to catch up tomorrow by speeding up their pace. After taking the tonic potion provided by Qin Xiangnuan, everyone's spirits were much better than before, and they sat around the campfire chatting and laughing.
Qin Xiangnuan was also in a good mood. She sat on the stone and fiddled with the things she had taken out of the space.
"Big sister."
A soft voice called Qin Xiangnuan back. She saw a little girl with two buns on her head and a rosy face appear in front of her. The little girl tilted her head curiously and looked at her and asked, "Big sister, what are you thinking about? Beibei called you for a long time, but you ignored me."
"Sister is thinking about something, Beibei, is everything okay?"
Qin Xiangnuan smelled the natural milky fragrance emanating from the little girl, picked her up by the waist, and placed her on her lap. She poked her chubby face and asked, "Beibei, did you eat well today? Your belly isn't round anymore, and you look like you're feeling aggrieved."
Beibei is the youngest daughter of her second uncle and the younger sister of her cousin Feng. Because she is young, she is the apple of the eye of the whole family.
The little girl was naturally picky about food. When she was at the General's Mansion, meals were always a source of worry for her Second Uncle. Beibei only liked meat and wouldn't even open her mouth to eat a single green leafy bite. She usually had to be coaxed into swallowing a little. Now that she was in exile, even fresh vegetables were hard to come by, let alone meat. She must have been starving.
Beibei pouted in grievance, and since someone cared about her, she naturally couldn't help crying.
Seeing her tears falling like pearls, Qin Xiangnuan remembered that she still had a few marshmallows and cakes in her arms. Although they were not nutritious, they could at least fill her stomach. "Beibei, be good. Sister will give you something good. You can't tell anyone else. Not even Daddy and Mommy, understand?"
Beibei nodded, and her clear eyes made Qin Xiangnuan couldn't help laughing.
She stretched out her little finger, hooked it with Beibei's, shook it twice, took out the candy, tore open the outer shell, and fed it to Beibei's mouth.
The sweet taste instantly spread in my mouth, "So sweet!"
