Chapter 84 The Revenge for Stealing My Husband!
When she checked his pulse for the third time, Qin Suisui finally realized something was wrong.
She had a bad feeling: "Comrade Wen, was there anything unusual about your injury before?"
Wen Lian shook his head: "There's nothing unusual, it's just a normal work-related injury."
Lin Lan patted him on the shoulder: "That's not normal! Your wound healed extremely slowly back then! It even festered once in the middle!"
Wen Lian looked at her, somewhat bewildered: "Does this count? It's hot, so ulceration is normal, isn't it?"
Lin Lan slapped him again: "Normal my ass! I take such good care of you every day, and I don't dare to do a single wrong word the doctor says. How could it suddenly ulcerate?"
The couple's argument finally led Qin Suisui to confirm: "If I'm not mistaken, Comrade Wen has been poisoned. The toxins have been in his body for too long, which is why they've affected his ability to have children."
Qin Suisui's words made Lin Lan and Wen Lian turn pale at the same time.
Sun Ruwen, who was standing to the side, also frowned: "How could they be poisoned?"
Lin Lan hurriedly grabbed Qin Suisui's hand: "Little miracle doctor, please save my man! We don't need children, just save him! I'll give you anything you want!"
Wen Lian stammered, "I... I've been poisoned?"
Qin Suisui quickly patted Lin Lan's hand gently: "Sister-in-law, don't worry. This is a slow-acting poison. It won't kill you in a short time. Comrade Wen, does your injured hand often tremble and make it difficult to hold small things? And do you sometimes feel a crawling sensation all over your body like ants?"
Wenlian nodded; he had also had to retire for this very reason.
Qin Suisui finally realized that this chronic toxin was like overcoming numerous obstacles; its initial symptom was that wounds were prone to festering and slow to heal. In this era of poor medical conditions, repeatedly festering wounds were highly susceptible to infection, and many people perished at this first hurdle.
After getting through the first hurdle, what follows is a long period of minor torment. Its impact on fertility is also a key factor. However, this stage won't have a particularly significant impact on the body.
After five years, the body will slowly and repeatedly ulcerate and ooze pus. Hospital examinations will not be able to find the cause, and the patient will eventually die from the ulceration all over their body.
Judging from the extent of the toxins spreading in Wenlian's body, he should have been poisoned for almost four years.
Lin Lan stared in shock, her eyes wide: "Little Divine Doctor, you're amazing! You guessed right, my man has been injured for three years and eleven months, almost four years! Does that mean he's about to die!"
Wenlian tugged at her arm: "Wife, don't say that."
Lin Lan quickly covered her mouth, then looked at Qin Suisui with hopeful eyes: "Little miracle doctor, you can diagnose this poison, do you also have a solution? Please, please save my man!"
Qin Suisui hesitated. Apart from her parents, no one knew that every time her grandmother took her out to collect herbs in the mountains, she would secretly teach her a unique acupuncture technique. From the age of five until she was seventeen, before her grandmother passed away, Qin Suisui had already mastered that acupuncture technique called "Midnight-Noon Flow".
This acupuncture technique corresponds to the waxing and waning of Qi and blood in the meridians according to the twelve two-hour periods of the day. "Zi Wu" symbolizes the alternation of Yin and Yang, and "Liu Zhu" is like water flowing through the meridians. The name is poetic, but the therapeutic effect is extremely powerful. Detoxifying this poison should not be a big problem, but Qin Suisui promised her grandmother before her death that she should not administer acupuncture to others without permission until the policy becomes more relaxed.
Looking at Lin Lan's sorrowful eyes and Wen Lian's ashen face, Qin Suisui gritted her teeth. Wen Lian was injured in the line of duty. Before he was injured, he was a soldier who protected the country. Not to mention that Wen Lian was Sun Ruwen's good friend, even if it was because of his status, she should save him!
I don't think Grandma would blame her!
However, some things still need to be made clear. Although the government has started to promote the "barefoot doctor" policy in these remote areas, traditional Chinese medicine is still quite sensitive in some aspects.
She looked at Wenlian with a stern face: "I can save you, but you must promise to keep it a secret. Otherwise, I can save your life, or I can take your life without anyone knowing."
Wen Lian naturally understood Qin Suisui's meaning; Qin Suisui had indeed taken a great risk in saving him.
He looked at Qin Suisui with a firm gaze: "Since you saved me, you are my benefactor, Wenlian. Whether as a former soldier or as a fisherman, Wenlian would never do anything to betray my trust."
Qin Suisui trusted him, probably because of her relationship with Pei Jiuyan; she had a natural affinity for soldiers. And she wasn't wrong—if Wen Lian dared to leak information, she could easily poison him!
Wen Lian's poison has penetrated too deeply into his body, so acupuncture cannot be performed immediately. He will also need to take a medicinal bath. Qin Suisui needs to go back and prepare some things. They agreed to start in two days.
Before leaving, Lin Lan gave her a basket of cassava and carefully taught her how to make cassava jelly.
Perhaps because of her experience in processing Chinese medicinal herbs, Qin Suisui knew exactly what to do as soon as she heard it.
Sun Ruwen saw Qin Suisui off out of the village. Before leaving, he gave Wen Lian a warning look. Wen Lian nodded firmly at him. Even if the little miracle doctor didn't save him, he would keep her secret because of Sun Ruwen.
Sun Ruwen intended to take Qin Suisui back to her family home, but Qin Suisui refused. Even though in her eyes Sun Ruwen was no different from a cousin, the family was always jealous. Moreover, it was the time to harvest rice, and Sun Ruwen didn't want to delay too long, so he only let him take him to the village entrance.
Qin Suisui rode her bicycle back, pondering what medicinal herbs she would need to prepare a medicinal bath for Wenlian. Some she had in her spatial storage, while others she might have to search for.
As they approached the entrance to the residential compound, they suddenly saw a group of people in sportswear surrounding one person, and the group was making a menacing move towards the compound. Qin Suisui, with her sharp eyes, recognized the person being surrounded in the crowd—it was Hao Ke!
This scene is really familiar. When we had mutton hotpot in Beijing, Hao Ke was also the one surrounded by people. I didn’t expect that she would become the center of attention so quickly after only a few days on Qiongtan Island.
Hao Ke also saw Qin Suisui and quickly greeted her, "Sister Suisui!"
Seeing that Qin Suisui didn't want to pay attention to her, she quickly called out a few more times and pitifully explained her purpose: "Sister Suisui, I'm not looking for Ayan, I'm here to find Brother Donglin! I just went to their dormitory, but he's not here. He should be at your house. Can you help me call him out?"
Qin Suisui frowned, not wanting to get involved.
Unexpectedly, one of the short-haired girls suddenly stopped her bicycle. Qin Suisui had to jump off. Before she could even get angry, the girl blurted out, "Hey comrade, how can you be so rude? Coco is talking to you! Since you know that Chi Donglin, why don't you call him for me? What? You're going to defend a coward like him who does things but doesn't admit them?"
Qin Suisui slapped her hand away: "Comrade, aren't you the one who's being rude? I have a grudge against Hao Ke, and I'm already being polite by not cursing at her when we meet. Why should I help her?"
The short-haired girl was stunned by the slap. She touched her reddened hand, and her arrogance finally subsided: "What...what grudge do you have?"
Qin Suisui glared at her: "The grudge of having my husband stolen! She tried to steal my man, would you help her or not!"
The short-haired girl hesitated for a moment, unable to process what she was hearing.
Qin Suisui ignored them and rode her bicycle home.
Pei Jiuyan and the other two were indeed at home. Chi Donglin, who had been missing all night, was sitting on the sofa with his head hanging down. Song Yunlai, who was next to him, was drinking soda and scolding him: "I'm not trying to be mean, but you've really messed up this time. You knew she had a plan, but you still stupidly fell for it. I think you're getting worse and worse as you get older!"
Chi Donglin clasped his hands and lowered his head: "Then what should I do? She was crying pitifully in front of me, and it was late at night. I can't just let her go home alone, can I?"
Song Yunlai glanced at him: "Go ahead and send it, now look what happened, you've sent it to bed. The worst part is you don't even know if that thing happened or not, you're so stupid!"
After saying that, she curled her lip and said, "I never realized before that Hao was such a shrewd and calculating person."
Chi Donglin opened and closed his mouth, finally managing to utter a weak sentence: "No, Coco has known us for so many years, she shouldn't make a scene about this, it wouldn't do her any good if it did."
"Are you stupid?! I'll make a scene and force you to marry me!"
...
Upon seeing Qin Suisui return, the group quickly changed the subject. Pei Jiuyan went forward to take the cassava from the back of her bicycle, asking with concern, "How did your illness go? Why did you bring back so much cassava?"
Qin Suisui nodded: "I still need to go for a few more treatments. I'll bring back the cassava to make jelly."
Song Yunlai waved the soda bottle in his hand at her: "Little sister, I drank your soda, I'll make it up to you later. I was just too worried, I couldn't resist!"
Qin Suisui chuckled lightly: "No need to compensate, but something even more worrying is coming."
Song Yunlai didn't understand her meaning for a moment and was stunned.
Immediately afterwards, Qin Suisui spoke up: "Hao Ke has already led a group of people to the outside of the family compound, cursing Dong Lin as a coward who dares to do something but doesn't dare to admit it. I guess they'll be coming to our door at any moment."
Now that she had already broken ties with Hao Ke, Qin Suisui had no intention of covering it up for her, and she was already being lenient by not exaggerating the situation.
As she spoke, her eyes kept glancing at Chi Donglin. Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, Chi Donglin stopped hammering his head, his eyes filled with shock and hurt.
Song Yunlai clapped his hands: "See! What did I tell you! They've brought people to force us into marriage! We're finished, completely finished...!"
Before he could finish wailing, the shouts of young women could already be heard from the doorway:
"Chi Donglin, don't hide inside and keep quiet. We know you're in there. You have the guts to do bad things, but why don't you have the guts to open the door!"
"Open the door! You dare to do bad things? You dare to open the door!"
"Open the door! Open the door quickly!"
