Chapter 2251 Healing
Manbao asked Zhou Liru to get the medicine box from the car, while he rolled up his sleeves and asked the host for hot water and clean towels.
She wiped off all the other person's medicine, cleaned the wound, and then looked at him with a frown.
Master Zhiren knew some medical skills, and they were not bad at all. It was a great achievement for him to stop the bleeding from such a big wound and save his life.
But the medicine he had was incomplete, and the wound was too big, so it worsened.
Manbao asked Zhou Liru to open the medicine box and take out a knife and scissors. She read out a prescription and asked Bai Shan to get the medicine, and then asked Zhou Liru to help clean up the rotten meat.
The old man stood aside and watched blankly as the two little girls took a knife and scissors and started cutting his flesh. He couldn't help but look at the monk.
The monk, however, looked relieved, and stood by, occasionally handing them something or getting them some hot water.
How could the old man be asked to do it? Since his son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren were not around, he went by himself.
Jie Chen's wound was very big, so it took a long time to heal. He was awakened by the pain in the middle of the process, and the medicine was ready, so Manbao fed it to him.
After treating the wound on her back, she handed it over to Zhou Liru to apply medicine.
The weather is hot now, so there is no need to bandage the wound, just cover it lightly with a cloth.
Manbao then went to look at the arrow wound on his leg. She frowned, and Zhiren couldn't help but ask, "Can the leg be saved?"
Manbao said: "I'll try my best."
Manbao stared at his wound for a long time, then turned around and left, asking Zhou Liru to go back to the convoy to get medicine.
Because she needed a lot of medicine, Manbao wrote a prescription for her.
She glanced outside and Bai Shan said, "I asked, it gets dark late here."
Manbao then nodded.
After some preparation, she went back in. This time, Zhiren also stood by with clean hands to help. She cut open the wound, cleared away the rotten flesh, and dug out a broken barb from inside. She waited until fresh blood flowed out of the wound before stopping. She looked at the blood, turned her head and said to Zhou Liru, "Leave the rotten flesh alone. We'll see what the poison is later."
Zhou Liru agreed.
It was almost dark when Manbao had his wound treated. The people in the car team had already allocated rooms for everyone to stay in. The villagers were very satisfied because they all had guests.
Mr. Zhuang and his family lived in the home of the eldest son of the old man next door. When she twisted her neck to come out, the old man greeted her warmly, saying that their room had been tidied and asked if they wanted to take a look.
In fact, he wanted to prepare meals for them, but after seeing the meals prepared by their cook, he didn't dare to interfere.
It would seem negligent of him to prepare it.
It was a rare opportunity for them to settle down and have vegetables and fresh meat, so Mrs. He used all her skills to prepare a sumptuous dinner for them.
Manager Li had specifically reminded her that there was a senior monk, so she also prepared a vegetarian meal.
Zhiren gratefully accepted the food and asked about Jiechen's injuries.
Manbao thought for a moment and said, "We'll have to wait two days to find out. The arrow avoided the bone, but if the flesh doesn't grow back well, we'll have to amputate it. Otherwise, if it gets worse, not only will it damage the rest of the leg, but the back injury will also be difficult to heal. If his high fever doesn't stop..."
Zhiren himself was a doctor and naturally knew how dangerous this was, so he nodded and agreed to this treatment plan.
After dinner, Manbao sat in the main room, pondering the spoiled meat. She asked Zhiren to translate for her and asked the old man, "Do you know what poisonous plants you have here that people like to smear on swords?"
Zhiren said to her, "I've asked around and have been looking for some these past two days, but I can't figure out what kind of poison it is."
After saying that, he stood up and went out to get four plants and brought them back to her. Then Koko started to make a ding-dong sound, "We found a plant that is not included..."
Manbao: "...You could have told me earlier."
Keke then said, "There are more than just these four. Has the host considered including them?"
When Koko was walking in the desert before, he didn’t find any plants worth recording, but he did find some animals, either very far away or very deep, and they would move.
Manbao and Baishan tried twice and gave up when they found that they could not include it. In the end, only the lonely ding-dong sound of Koko was left.
Because it knew that Manbao would not stay here for long, it did not make any ding-dong sounds from far away, and because she was concentrating on treating patients nearby, it refrained from making any ding-dong sounds.
Manbao began to think. Jiechen was a patient, but it was impossible for so many people in the caravan to be wasted here. Moreover, there might be a group of bandits watching them in the dark. So she was unwilling to make a decision immediately. "Wait until I ask the master and the others."
She replied to Koko in her heart and took a look at the branches in her hand. They were plump and looked tender. She picked up a piece with scissors, carefully squeezed out the juice, and then smelled it...
Manbao pondered for a while, and finally mixed several juices together, and fourteen small bowls appeared in front of him in an instant.
Fourteen bowls, fourteen different poisons.
Zhinin: ...So this is how poison is tested?
After Manbao debugged it, he slowly compared it. For this purpose, he even washed the poisonous meat and burned the washing water. The smell...
Everyone in the room rushed out, even the old man left in a daze, only Zhiren stayed in the room with Manbao.
Manbao had no choice. Not only did she stay, she also had to close her eyes and carefully remember the taste. Then she processed the fourteen different poisons in the same way, trying to find their common points.
As long as the poison really comes from these types of venom, we will definitely be able to find common ground.
There aren't many poisonous plants in one place, and even fewer common ones. Those that are smeared on arrows are mostly common and have paralyzing or dizzying effects.
Zhiren obviously knew this, so the four poisonous herbs he found were all based on this. There was another one because it had hallucinogenic effects, and Manbao was also familiar with it, which was the cactus.
Apart from this one, she had never seen the other three.
Manbao spent a long time selecting three bowls. She looked at their positions and noted the poisonous juices they mixed. Then she put the same poisonous herbs aside. After pondering for a while, she said, "These should be the two poisonous herbs."
Zhiren immediately asked, "Can you solve it?"
Manbao glanced at him, took it out and asked the old man, "What if livestock or people accidentally eat these two poisonous weeds?"
The old man was startled and said, "Just spit it out."
Manbao: ...
Zhi Ren suppressed a smile and said, "Master Zhou, I asked before, but there is no specific detoxification method for these four poisonous herbs."
Otherwise, he could give the non-toxic antidote to his disciples in turn.
Manbao thought about it and felt that he had fallen into a misunderstanding. He didn't necessarily need an antidote for them. An antidote with similar consequences would be enough.
Because the toxins that cause the same consequences are mostly the same type, since it is paralyzing and hallucinogenic, just use the antidote that can eliminate the paralyzing and hallucinogenic poisons.
