Chapter 115 Detoxification
Hearing this, Mu Xi immediately put aside the half-woven straw mat in his hand and walked over quickly.
This is obviously mushroom poisoning.
But the two of them ate mushrooms together tonight, and he hasn't shown any symptoms so far.
When cooking, he confirmed again and again that it was cooked, added enough garlic and oil, and fried it for more than half an hour before serving.
"Are there any other symptoms? Are you feeling unwell?"
Zhao Yeqing shook his head. Apart from being able to see the subtitles, he had no other symptoms and was conscious.
Mu Xi took her to the kitchen and brought her a large glass of salt water.
"Drink it all and see if you can spit it out."
He frowned and looked worried. They couldn't go to the hospital now. Mushroom poisoning could be serious or minor. All they could do was to let her vomit out as much as possible.
Zhao Yeqing drank two large cups of salt water. When his throat was full, he quickly walked to the door, bent over and induced vomiting.
Mu Xi stroked her back and suddenly thought of something.
After Zhao Yeqing finished vomiting, he asked, "Did you split the core of the palm fruit you ate last with a kitchen knife?"
Zhao Yeqing's eyes were red from vomiting. He took the water handed to him by Mu Xi, rinsed his mouth, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and then nodded.
Mu Xi pointed at the kitchen knife on the chopping board and asked, "Which one is it?"
Only after seeing Zhao Yeqing confirm it did I understand the reason.
She used the same knife he used to cut mushrooms to remove the fruit core. She hadn't had time to wash the knife after cutting the mushrooms. When Mu Xi just came in after washing the dishes, Zhao Yeqing had already smashed the fruit core open with the kitchen knife.
When she was chewing the fruit core, he brought in the washed dishes and took the kitchen knife and chopping board out to wash them.
Zhao Yeqing was dizzy from vomiting. Mu Xi helped her back to bed, then turned and walked into the kitchen.
Although the symptoms are relatively mild now, it is a toxin after all and will still have an impact on the body. There is no appropriate medicine at home, so he can only use local materials.
Boil water in a pot, pour the mung beans in, cover and simmer. Light the brick stove next to it, and put a handful of rice in another pot and add water.
Mung beans can detoxify, but I’m afraid that alone may not be enough.
In the room, Zhao Yeqing was lying on the bed, holding his stomach with a frown on his face.
Mu Xi came in and changed his clothes. He went to the bedside and whispered to Zhao Yeqing, "I'm going to go out and find some medicine. You lie down for a while and don't get out of bed."
He was afraid that Zhao Yeqing was not even conscious and would bump into something when getting out of bed, so he poured her a cup of warm water and placed it on the bedside table before leaving.
I went into the hay room, called out to the little ones, and asked them to guard the door.
He would go to the area near the woods to set traps every morning, and he had a general understanding of the surrounding situation.
There are many small hills on the meadow. Some of them are too high, so there is less water on the hills and the soil is relatively dry.
Mu Xi climbed up the hill holding a torch. He had seen licorice nearby, but it was a long time ago, before the rainstorm, so he didn't know if it was still there.
He searched two hills based on his memory but couldn't find it.
Licorice likes to grow in sandy areas and is afraid of moisture and waterlogging. When he climbed the third hill, he finally found a few slightly dried licorice plants, which were ready to be harvested.
Licorice was originally harvested in spring and autumn, but due to the abnormal weather, it is only now harvested.
Licorice is used as medicine with its roots and rhizomes. Mu Xi dug out several licorice plants with their roots.
There were a lot of mosquitoes on the meadow at night. I went out in a hurry without applying any toilet water. When I got home, I was wearing a windbreaker and nothing happened, but there were two obvious red spots on my face.
He first washed his hands and walked into the kitchen, brought out the cooked mung bean water and white porridge, brought them into the room and woke up Zhao Yeqing, who was sleeping uneasily.
"Drink the mung bean water first."
After Zhao Yeqing vomited, he no longer saw strange things in front of his eyes, but he still felt dizzy, and his stomach always ached after vomiting.
She frowned, closed her eyes, and drank the whole bowl of mung bean water.
Mu Xi put the porridge on the bedside table. "Although mung beans can detoxify, they are cold in nature. You just vomited and I'm afraid that drinking them will make your stomach uncomfortable. Drink the porridge later, and I'll make medicine for you."
Zhao Yeqing leaned against the bed and nodded, poking the little red spot on his face, "Thank you."
After working until morning, when the sky was already gray, Zhao Yeqing drank some licorice water with a little honey, closed his eyes and finally fell into a good sleep.
When she woke up at noon, she felt refreshed.
When she woke up, Mu Xi was still sleeping.
Zhao Yeqing didn't have much memory of being bitten by a snake. When she woke up, she felt her stomach rumbling. She was craving for the snake bite she had yesterday.
As soon as she sat up from the bed, Mu Xi was awakened. He opened his eyes, but the mist in front of his eyes had not yet dissipated.
He stood up, rubbed his eyes and walked over, "Are you feeling better?"
"Much better, but I'm still hungry and want to eat some mushrooms."
Mu Xi was a little amused and said, "You need to take it easy first. I'll go get some more in a couple of days. You can eat something else to nourish your body for the next two days."
After washing up, I went to the kitchen to make breakfast and found a pheasant with its legs tied in the basin.
Mu Xi walked in from outside and explained, "Before going to bed this morning, I went to collect the trap."
This pheasant is a little different from the previous ones. The previous one weighed only about one kilogram, but this one is estimated to be more than two kilograms.
If a trap is placed in one place for too long, it will not be easy to catch prey, so the position must be changed frequently.
"Which trap caught this?"
"The one by the lake."
Mu Xi covered the basin containing the pheasants with a bamboo cage. The pheasants were so noisy that the ground was covered with feathers.
I plan to starve it for two days to clear its stomach before eating it.
Zhao Yeqing looked up and counted the smoked meat hanging above the fire pit.
"Three chickens, two rabbits, three fish..."
There are now eighteen rabbits in the rabbit pen at home, and the two female rabbits have given birth to seven or eight rabbits each.
We now have about ten chicks, so we don’t need any chickens or rabbits for now. I’ll get some fish when the time comes.
The smoked fish are not big, weighing only a little over one pound each, and usually two are cooked for one meal.
Zhao Yeqing thought about the last time he caught a bass, but he never encountered one again.
“Will the types of fish be different if we move toward the center?”
Mu Xi was boiling water to cook noodles. He put the noodles in his hand into the boiling water and asked, "You want to make a boat?"
Making a boat is too troublesome, "A bamboo raft will do."
"Finish the task at hand first. Your boyfriend's task list is already full."
Mu Xi covered the pot with the lid, leaving a small hole for the air to escape and prevent the pot from bursting.
Zhao Yeqing vomited last night and hurt his stomach, so the noodles need to be cooked softer.
All that was left to do was make new tables and chairs, as well as a fireplace and wooden shelves to store small items.
Zhao Yeqing nodded, "Don't worry."
Arrange the rest of the things and prioritize them.
She counted the days on her fingers and it was time to apply fertilizer to the barley and wheat fields.
