Chapter 430 Snake Venom
Bai Cha was busy running around, and because of the heat, her back was soaked with sweat, sticking to her body and feeling very uncomfortable.
With trees and several large rocks providing cover by the river, and seeing the maid with thick makeup, Bai Cha decided to wash up.
"Sister Thick Powder, can you do me a favor?"
Bai Cha turned to look at the heavily powdered maid, and Qi Lu quickly and awkwardly turned his face away. Although dressing as a woman was a necessary measure for convenience, he was not a real woman.
Having little contact with women, Qi Lu felt very awkward around Bai Cha, only able to hum and haw as much as possible, occasionally rolling his eyes as a silent mockery of Bai Cha's chatter.
"What kind of help?"
Qi Lu was about to leave when he heard this, so he paused and pretended to be impatient.
In the past, Bai Cha would have been too shy to ask her maid with thick makeup for help, but since being enlightened by Lin Yuesha, she has become less concerned about what others think.
"It's too hot. I want to go wash up by the big rock. Could you keep watch for me?"
The area is deserted, but it's not entirely safe either; you never know when someone might come.
Bai Cha said to the maid with thick powder, "Sister, how about we take turns washing her?"
"You wash, I'll keep watch for you."
Qi Lu turned his back, his face flushed an unnatural red, but the heavy powder on his face made it impossible to see.
"Sister, I misunderstood you before and talked badly about you behind your back. I was wrong."
Seeing that the maid with thick powder readily agreed, Bai Cha immediately felt a pang of guilt, realizing that she had been petty before.
Seeing the maid with thick pink hair sitting with her back to the ground, Bai Cha could see the large feet under the maid's dress from her angle. She thought the maid was shy and comforted her, saying, "Sister, our bodies and hair are given to us by our parents. We maids should be efficient and decisive. Having a pair of delicate little feet would only be a burden."
Qi Lu lowered his head and saw his shoes sticking out, so he quickly hid them under his dress.
Seeing this, Bai Cha didn't say much. She quickly took off her outer garment and went into the river to wash herself with a cloth. It was a hot day, and immersing herself in the cool river water was the best way to cool down.
The maid with thick powder on her face twitched her eyelids. He was a gentleman and was determined not to turn back. The sound of splashing in the water was enough to make anyone blush.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
A sharp whistle rang out, a signal from his master indicating that he needed to speak with him urgently. Qi Lu quickly stood up and headed straight for the carriage.
After washing for a while, Bai Cha noticed someone talking to themselves for quite some time, and the maid with thick powder didn't answer. She leaned halfway out from behind the big rock and said, "Sister, I'm almost done washing up, you should hurry up too."
When she looked around, there was no one there!
That damned, heavily powdered maidservant, she agreed so readily but then ran off without a word, leaving Bai Cha alone to wash up behind the big rock.
With no one to keep watch, Bai Cha quickly put on her outer robe and angrily returned to the carriage, intending to confront the maid with thick powder.
That's too much! If you have a problem with her and don't like her, you can just not agree. There's no need to be so two-faced. You agreed so readily, then sneaked away halfway through. I've never seen anyone with such a wicked heart.
"Miss, where is Miss Zi's carriage?"
Bai Cha searched everywhere but couldn't find the maid with thick powder on her sleeve. Not only that, but the young lady's luxurious carriage was also nowhere to be found. Could it be that the maid with thick powder on her sleeve, fearing Bai Cha would come looking for her, had tricked Miss Zi into not traveling with them?
"Oh, you mean Sister Ziyuan? She just said goodbye to me and won't be traveling with us."
Just now, everyone was discussing that Father Xiao Chenggui's injuries were showing signs of worsening. To be on the safe side, they had no choice but to risk changing from the main road to a side road, which would save them a few days' journey to the capital.
Ziyuan wasn't in a hurry to travel, believing it was safer to take the official road. After discussing it, the two sides decided to separate, thinking they would have a chance to meet again when they arrived in the capital.
"Bai Cha, didn't you dislike Sister Zi Yuan's maid?"
Seeing that Bai Cha looked unwell, Lin Yuesha asked in confusion.
"Yes, so I'm glad we'll go our separate ways."
Bai Cha gritted her teeth. Even if she left in a hurry, she should at least have told her so the girl could be prepared. The maid with thick makeup sneaked away, which showed she had bad intentions and deliberately wanted to embarrass her.
When they arrive in the capital, if the two of them meet, Bai Cha will definitely have to fight the thick-powdered maid!
The group traveled for several more days and soon reached a fork in the road. Qingxing and Qi'er exchanged a glance, and Qi'er immediately understood.
The two men planned to tamper with the carriage to make the caravan stop for the night. They received a message from their master that Fang Dazhuang had been kidnapped by bandits and taken to the mountains; the two men had to find a way to rescue him.
Before the two could make a move, the carriage in front stopped.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Yuesha opened the carriage window and peeked out, only to find that Doctor Yan had already gotten off the carriage with her medicine box.
The caravan stopped, and Qingxing and Qi'er got off the carriage to check the situation. They returned and reported, "Miss, there are two people lying on the grass stalks ahead. Their faces are bluish-purple. Doctor Yan said they were bitten by snakes and need an antidote."
Human life is of paramount importance, especially two lives.
Female doctor Yan and physician Liao got off the carriage together and began treating the two men.
"Then let's go down and take a look."
In the mountains and fields, there are bound to be insects and snakes. If you are bitten, you must learn how to save yourself as soon as possible. Lin Yuesha was watching and learning from the sidelines, which might come in handy in the future.
The three-way intersection was surrounded by narrow paths and lush vegetation. The two people who had been bitten by the venomous snake lay unconscious, and their condition appeared to be quite serious.
"Sister Yan, after being bitten by a snake, do we have to suck out the venomous blood?"
Lin Yuesha knew nothing about medicine; her meager knowledge came entirely from modern TV dramas. She would suck out the bluish-purple poisonous blood, and once the blood turned bright red, everything would be fine.
"Who told you that? Don't listen to those people's nonsense!"
The female doctor's expression was serious. A doctor must be meticulous and cannot make any mistakes, let alone talk nonsense and harm people.
When someone is bitten by a venomous snake, the first thing to do is to locate the wound and assess its condition.
"Sister Yue Sha, come and see."
The female doctor called Lin Yuesha to her side and took the opportunity to instruct her, "Two deep, pinprick-like bite marks are often from venomous snakes. Look, the wound has two dots, while the other one is shaped like the number eight."
Generally, two or four rows of teeth marks indicate a non-venomous snake, and simply cleaning the wound is sufficient.
It was obvious that the two people had been bitten by a venomous snake, but thankfully it wasn't highly venomous.
"If it were a golden ringed snake, these two would already be dead."
Doctor Yan sighed. The two of them had been unconscious for at least half an hour. Generally, if bitten by a highly venomous snake, even if they are saved, they will still suffer from significant aftereffects.
"Then how do we remove the poisonous blood?"
Lin Yuesha realized that her knowledge was all wrong, so she humbly sought guidance.
