Chapter 345: Poisoned! (18)
He first opened his eyes to take a look, then sniffed his breath.
I noticed that my pupils were beginning to dilate a little, my nasal breathing became weaker, and my breathing was rapid.
Old Li's expression also looked somewhat serious.
Under Song Shiwei's nervous gaze, he pinched Zhou Tingyue's pulse and felt it.
As soon as he placed his hand on her, he frowned. This was the sparrow pecking pulse, with disordered pulse patterns, beating fast and weakly. After the pulse beat four to seven times, it would temporarily stop, circulate back and forth, and even begin to become a leaky roof pulse.
The roof leaking pulse is like water dripping from a house, beating an average of twenty-five to forty-five times a minute.
Obviously he was poisoned!
Song Shiwei's heart also fluctuated as he watched.
"Uncle Li, how is Tingyue?"
Lao Zheng, Liang Li and Li Kaixuan also looked nervous.
"Yeah, Uncle Li, what happened to Tingyue?"
"Please save him!"
"Yeah yeah!! "
Old Li neither nodded nor shook his head.
Instead, he turned around and looked carefully at the wild boar that Song Shiwei mentioned.
He noticed the same thing as Song Shiwei. There were a lot of brown bloodstains on both sides of the wild boar's waist and abdomen, but they were obviously not its own. It was obvious that its fur had pierced Zhou Tingyue's pants and left bloodstains.
In other words, this blood belongs to Zhou Tingyue.
He observed the two bloodstains bit by bit, not missing any details.
Song Shiwei also squatted nervously on the other side and watched carefully.
She just wanted to find some clues as soon as possible to save Zhou Tingyue.
At this moment, Old Li suddenly exclaimed: "That's it!!"
Song Shiwei hurried over to take a look, and saw Old Li pointing at some green juice mixed in with the brown blood, and there were also some fragments of purple petals on it.
It should have been brought out by a wild boar passing through the bushes, and Zhou Tingyue used too much force during the fight, and the friction with the wild boar's skin crushed the plant!
It’s okay if the wild boar has thick skin!
But his legs were covered in blood!
"What's this?"
Song Shiwei asked hurriedly.
Old Li's face didn't look particularly good.
"This thing is called Aconitum. There are a lot of them in the mountains. It is very toxic, especially the aconitine in it, which can cause human poisoning, causing symptoms such as tingling in the mouth and tongue, numbness in the limbs, difficulty breathing, and arrhythmia. In severe cases, it can be fatal!"
Hearing his words, Song Shiwei was so scared that he sat down on the ground.
Lao Zheng, Liang Li and others were even more frightened.
"Is it highly poisonous??"
"What should we do then?"
"Uncle Li, please save Tingyue!"
Old Li also looked very unhappy.
"The poison has been acting up for too long. The poison has spread all over the body. I only have a limited amount of medicine. I don't know if I can save him. I guess it all depends on God's will!"
Song Shiwei cried and grabbed Old Li's arm, begging, "Uncle Li, please, please save Tingyue! Please..."
Seeing her like this, Old Li felt uncomfortable too.
How could he want anything to happen to these soldiers?
If it weren’t for them, the lives of ordinary people in Eastern Province wouldn’t be so peaceful!
"Don't worry, I will do my best to save him, but old man, I have a request. If I save him, are you willing to cook for me for a year?"
He didn't give Song Shiwei hope for no reason. The main reason was that he had just observed the remains on the wild boar and they didn't seem to be particularly numerous.
Although Aconitum is highly poisonous, it is also a traditional Chinese medicine.
The mother root of Aconitum is used as medicine, called Aconitum, and its lateral roots are used as medicine, called Aconite. There are differences in Aconitum. Chuanwu is the mother root of Aconitum, and Caowu is the tuberous root of Aconitum.
Chuanwu and Caowu can warm the middle and dispel cold, remove wind and relieve pain, while Fuzi can restore yang and rescue the adverse condition, replenish fire and assist yang.
If used properly in clinical practice, it can cure serious illnesses and save people from danger.
Among them, Aconitum carmichaelii is more toxic than Chuanwu, and Aconite root is a processed product of the root of Chuanwu, and its toxicity is less than Chuanwu.
Its flower stems are even less toxic.
Therefore, Old Li felt more confident.
Song Shiwei learned about Aconitum and Aconite from watching palace fighting dramas, because Aconite Decoction is often seen in harem struggles. It can cause miscarriage in pregnant women. Aconitum is used for poisoning.
Old Li took out his medicine box and urgently prepared some pills for Song Shiwei.
When he is away from home and has no conditions to boil medicine, Old Li always brings some prepared and ground medicine powder with him.
Mix it with honey or medicine to make pills for consumption.
"Give these pills to him by putting them under his tongue every hour!"
Song Shiwei nodded.
But Zhou Tingyue didn’t know whether it was because his body was stiff or what, he couldn’t open his teeth.
Lao Zheng came over to help and pinched his jaw hard to open his mouth.
Song Shiwei quickly placed the pill under his tongue.
Her fingertips touched his still warm tongue, causing her heart to feel sour again.
"Tingyue, please get better soon, please, you must get better..."
Old Li used scissors to cut open the pants on both sides of his thighs, wiped the venom off the outside with clean water, cleaned the wound, and applied the detoxifying ointment he had prepared.
Finally, wrap it with gauze.
After dealing with Zhou Tingyue, they also have to find a way to leave here as soon as possible.
No matter what, staying in Death Valley for a moment longer would be life-threatening.
Moreover, Old Li also said that given Zhou Tingyue's condition, it would be best to send him to the hospital. Now he can only try to delay time for him and save his life. If he wants to get fully well, he may have to undergo treatment for a while.
Song Shiwei also understood, but Liang Li and Li Kaixuan were not in very good physical condition. Now, let alone walking, they still felt a little dizzy even when sitting.
The main reason is that during this period, they can't eat or sleep well, and they have to force themselves to travel at night every day. After all, they are not young anymore and their physical fitness can't keep up.
If they hadn't been trying so hard to stay alive, they would have fainted from exhaustion long ago.
Now that we see them, we know that they came in from outside the valley, which means that as long as they get out of this Death Valley, they can get out!
There is salvation!
That nerve suddenly relaxed, and the problems caused by the two people's physical overdraft instantly came.
He tilted his head and started snoring instantly.
Old Zheng has been exhausted these days and is covered in injuries. If his injuries were considered, he would definitely have to be sent to the hospital for treatment.
Although they were all superficial injuries, the wounds were almost all over his body. First, he was poisoned by a snake, then his arm was bitten by the wolf king, and then his back was torn by the wolf king!
If Old Li hadn't been with him, he would probably have died of poisoning, or died from excessive blood loss and festering wounds!
Seeing that Liang Li and the others had fallen asleep, he knew that they could not leave for the time being, so he simply leaned against a big tree and took a short rest, waiting for Liang Li and Li Kaixuan to recover before setting off again.
