Chapter 119 Fate really loves to play tricks.
Qin Suisui cursed and slapped her face with all her might. At first, Hao Ke could still twist and turn a few times and curse a few times, but the more she cursed, the more Qin Suisui slapped her. She vaguely felt that her cursing was like cheering on this bitch Qin Suisui. Finally, she stopped.
Of course, the main problem was that she was in so much pain that she couldn't make a sound, and blood was also seeping from the corner of her mouth.
Qin Suisui spoke for seven or eight minutes straight before the security personnel finally arrived. They naturally recognized Qin Suisui and, seeing the conflict, rushed over to ask what had happened.
Seeing someone approaching, Hao Ke's previously lifeless eyes suddenly lit up. Just then, Qin Suisui stopped what she was doing. She struggled to get up, pointed at Qin Suisui, and prepared to accuse her.
Unexpectedly, Qin Suisui nimbly jumped off her and spoke first: "Comrade, I want to report her for engaging in feudal superstition! She just kept talking about some jinx and even spread rumors about our great People's Liberation Army comrades!" As Qin Suisui complained, she embellished Hao Ke's words.
It should be noted that most of the security personnel are now disabled veterans or children of military families, and they are all highly conscious. When they heard that someone had come to the entrance of the military compound to spread feudal superstitions and spread rumors about the great People's Liberation Army comrades, the security personnel immediately took it seriously.
Hao Ke stared wide-eyed at Qin Suisui in disbelief: "You hit me, fine, but you're the one who's accusing me first?"
Qin Suisui retorted righteously, "How could I call that hitting you? I was correcting your decadent bourgeois thinking, teaching you to recognize reality, so that you wouldn't be infiltrated by capitalist society and undermine our proletarian revolutionary faith. The leaders have said that anyone who engages in superstition is a counter-revolutionary. Comrade Hao Ke, are you trying to be a counter-revolutionary?!"
Qin Suisui opened her mouth and began to accuse Hao Ke of one label after another, making Hao Ke look terrified and the security comrades excited. They never expected that Commander Pei's wife, who usually seemed so gentle and delicate, would have such a firm class stance and such a good grasp of quotations! Truly worthy of being Commander Pei's wife! The two of them must often study behind closed doors at home, encouraging each other! What a great revolutionary couple!
On the other hand, Comrade Hao Ke had also briefly lived in the family compound for a period of time. Unfortunately, just as Comrade Qin said, this female comrade was not firm in her class ideology and did many immoral things, even harming Battalion Commander Chi!
So Hao Ke was taken away by the security guards while cursing.
Qin Suisui clapped her hands, concealing her merits and fame.
When they got home, Zanzan was squatting in front of Aunt Tang's house playing in the mud. When he saw Qin Suisui coming back from afar, he immediately ran and jumped into her arms.
To be honest, it would be a lie to say that Qin Suisui wasn't depressed and upset during this period. Every time she looked at Pei Jiuyan lying there silently with his head wrapped in gauze late at night, she couldn't help but shed tears.
She was worried about Pei Jiuyan's injuries, worried that she wouldn't be able to cure her poison, and even more worried that Pei Jiuyan would never wake up again.
Chi Donglin is right. She needs to vent, otherwise she'll get sick from holding it in. Beating up Hao Ke just now definitely made her feel much better.
She caught Zan Zan, who rushed towards her, and hugged him tightly: "What are you doing, Zan Zan? Have you been eating properly these past two days?"
Zan Zan put one arm around her neck and held up one of his little fingers with the other: "I ate well, okay? I ate a bowl of noodles in the morning, a steamed bun at noon, and three small fish!" He made a "3" gesture with his fingertips still covered in mud.
Qin Suisui smiled, patted his head, wiped the mud off his hands with a handkerchief, and then opened the front door of her house while holding him.
I haven't been back for a few days, and the yard has changed drastically. After the typhoon, most of the vegetables in the garden were blown over, and many cucumber trellises were also knocked down. Perhaps because the weather has improved in the past few days, the cucumber vines that haven't completely withered have recovered and are now growing long on the ground, with fresh cucumber buds hanging on them, intertwined with the watermelon vines.
She remembered that the tomato seedlings had been blown over before, but she didn't know when they had secretly stood up again and even bloomed with many yellow flowers.
Qin Suisui straightened and tied the cucumber trellis back up, and simply swept the withered branches and leaves aside.
Zan Zan was squatting on the ground picking up mangoes that had been blown away by the wind but weren't completely spoiled when he suddenly exclaimed, "Mom, the honey has gotten much better!"
Qin Suisui turned around to look, and the honey that had been mostly harvested before the typhoon was now hanging high again. In just a few days, it had probably grown almost a pound.
Perhaps after the storm, the flowers and plants on Qiongtan Island grew more lush, attracting more bees. With more bees, there was more nectar, and naturally, the honey production increased rapidly.
Standing under the mango tree, gazing at the once chaotic but now vibrant courtyard, her heart was filled with renewed hope. After the disaster, everything would be alright again, and so would Pei Jiuyan.
After tidying up the yard, Qin Suisui went inside, found a few changes of clothes for Pei Jiuyan, and then found several bottles of snake medicine in the drawer of the dressing table in the room. The Li ethnic boy had given her when they were in the wilderness forest. She had mainly come back to find this.
Besides taking care of Pei Jiuyan at the hospital these past few days, she spent most of her time secretly researching the poison in his body in her spatial dimension. To be honest, she hadn't had much experience with snake venom before, so she hadn't thought about it in that direction.
But this morning, she suddenly discovered that the poison Pei Jiuyan had been bitten by seemed to have a similar effect to the snake venom that Su Yunyi had been bitten by before. When Su Yunyi was bitten by a snake, she didn't know the specific species of snake, so she could only temporarily suppress the poison with an antidote to keep her out of danger, but it could not prevent the snake venom from causing other damage to her body.
The poison that Pei Jiuyan and Chi Donglin were also poisoned with was the same one she used to detoxify Wen Lian. This could help suppress the toxins in their bodies and ensure that they would not be in mortal danger, but it could not prevent the toxins from having other effects on their bodies.
Moreover, she was almost certain that Pei Jiuyan's coma was also related to the poison. In other words, because the toxin had a longer incubation period in Pei Jiuyan's body, he had more toxins in his body than Chi Donglin.
There are far fewer venomous snakes in Jiangcheng than on Qiongtan Island, so my grandmother's knowledge of snake venom was limited, as was hers.
But when snake venom was mentioned, she quickly thought of the Li ethnic boy she had met when she and Jia Zhenzhen went to the wild forest to collect herbs.
As early as her childhood, she learned through various supernatural tales and travelogues that there was a very mysterious branch of the Li people on Qiongtan Island who lived in seclusion in the deep mountains. They worshipped a snake god and were skilled at training snakes and making snake medicine.
In earlier times, they could even communicate with the gods through snake dances and snake medicine, use snake-patterned pottery jars for sacrifices, use live snakes for divination, and hold rain-seeking and plague-driving ceremonies every year. In short, they were a mysterious people.
Perhaps the solution to the poison in Pei Jiuyan and the others can indeed be found in this way.
Qin Suisui put the snake medicine into her spatial storage, packed a few of Zanzan's clothes, and went downstairs to the kitchen. The watermelons, cucumbers, tomatoes, and other fruits she had picked on the day the typhoon hit were still uneaten and were piled up on the wooden shelf in the kitchen.
Fortunately, they were all irrigated with water from the stream in the space, so they can be stored for much longer than ordinary fruits and vegetables.
Qin Suisui took out a basket, filled it with a little of each kind, put the rest into her spatial storage, filled it with some rice and flour from the cabinet, took out a fresh piece of pork from her spatial storage, and finally carried a large watermelon. She then took Zanzan to Aunt Tang's house.
Aunt Tang was at home making clothes for her unborn child when she saw Qin Suisui coming over with a pile of things. She quickly stood up and asked, "Why did you bring so many things? How is Ayan?"
Qin Suisui briefly explained Pei Jiuyan's situation, looking somewhat apologetic: "Sister-in-law, Jiuyan needs someone to stay with him, and Zanzan might have to bother you for a while longer. Please take these things and eat them; I'll bring them over when you're done."
Aunt Tang's pregnancy was quite obvious. Perhaps because pregnant women are more sentimental than others, Qin Suisui's few words brought tears to her eyes. She wiped away her tears, stroked Zanzan's head, and said:
"You're being too polite. I've watched Zan Zan grow up. To put it bluntly, he's my child too. You can rest assured leaving him with me. You also need to take good care of yourself and not overwork yourself. Ayan and the child both need you."
After talking for a while, Qin Suisui said goodbye to Zanzan and Aunt Tang and went to the hospital again.
Chi Donglin and Song Yunlai were there to relieve her. When they saw her return, they excitedly asked, "Sister, how did it go? Did you find the snake medicine?"
Qin Suisui nodded and took out the watermelon she had taken out of her space earlier: "Brother Yunlai, Brother Donglin, we haven't finished eating the watermelons we picked at home. You guys eat some watermelon and rest well. I'm going to do some research."
Neither of them were curious. During this time, when she said she was going to research the antidote, she would usually go into the bathroom of the ward, close the door, and do the work. Chi Donglin and Song Yunlai didn't understand, but they never suspected anything.
After Qin Suisui closed the bathroom door and entered the space, she couldn't wait to go into her little pharmacy and find the medical books left by her grandmother.
Long before she emptied her home and Yang Jiankang's belongings, she had already chosen one of the dozen or so empty factory buildings in the space to set up her own pharmacy. All the medicinal herbs from her home, some that she collected after coming to Qiongtan Island, and those that she obtained in Changbai Mountain were all stored here.
Her previous "medicine-making station" at home was also placed there, and now Qin Suisui was sitting in front of the medicine-making station, concentrating on studying those bottles of snake medicine.
Times have changed. Back home, whenever she sat at this table, she was mostly researching "harmful" gadgets to "harm" people she disliked. Now, however, she's sitting here, focused on researching an antidote to save her lover. Fate really loves to play tricks.
