Although the giant snake was driven away this time, no one felt at ease, always worried that it would come back at any time to harm the village.
Wu Yong: "It's a pity it got away just now. I wonder when it will come back?"
Liu Zhijian said, "It shouldn't be coming over anytime soon. Before the smell of the medicine powder on the ground dissipates, you guys hurry up and think of something!"
Yun Qiao said, "Uncle Liu, don't you still have so much medicine powder? Just sprinkle some on it next time it comes, and it won't be able to act so arrogantly this time."
Looking at the remaining half-basin of medicinal powder, Liu Zhijian said, "This is all I have left. I don't know when I'll be able to gather this many herbs again. Everyone, use them sparingly. Besides, according to the records, these herbs only have a short-term effect. Didn't you see that the snake was unaffected in no time?"
Wu Yong: "Uncle Liu, isn't there any other way?"
Liu Zhijian shook his head. "This medicine is already prepared according to records. According to the records, my ancestors didn't seem to have prepared it many times. There are other records, but I've never even seen the medicinal herbs before. How am I supposed to prepare it?"
Hou Yunhai was also feeling annoyed at this moment. Perhaps he had been too comfortable during this period and had forgotten that there was such a snake-catching expert in the village.
If we had known this information yesterday, perhaps today's plan would have been more thorough, and it wouldn't have been so easy for that snake to leave.
Seeing that there was no immediate solution to the problem, and remembering Yun Lecang who had just been injured and left, Yun Xun said, "It seems that the snake won't be coming today. Let's go check on Lecang first."
At this moment, everyone remembered that Yun Lecang had just been tightly coiled by a snake. Except for those who stayed behind to clean up the mess, everyone else started rushing back to the village.
When Yun Lecang was tightly coiled by the snake, he felt his entire body being squeezed hard, and he could even hear the sound of his bones cracking. At that moment, his heart was filled with despair, and he was even saying goodbye to his loved ones in his mind.
He knew that the villagers were chasing and slashing at the snake in an attempt to rescue him, but in his heart he was shouting for everyone to leave quickly and stop making unnecessary sacrifices for him.
But after smelling a pungent odor, the snake that had been tightly binding him relaxed its body and felt the fresh air re-enter its nostrils. Although he was lying on the cold ground, he had never felt so at ease as he did at this moment.
Before he lost consciousness, he knew that his companions had carried him toward the village, and at that moment, hope was rekindled in his heart.
Yunnan Medicine and Dr. Xia were also anxiously waiting in the pharmacy. To prevent anyone from getting hurt, they had stayed there all day, and their hearts were in their throats when they heard the sound of the gong.
If they weren't worried about causing trouble for others, they would all want to go there and guard it.
"Uncle Nan Yao, Dr. Xia," the voice came before the man even arrived. The two of them quickly stood up and ran to the yard to open the gate.
"What's going on?" Yunnan Medicine asked before anyone else could speak.
Liu Xinwei: "He's been coiled up by that snake for so long, hurry and see if there's any hope of saving him!"
Upon hearing that the person had been entangled by a snake, both Yunnan Medicine Doctor and Dr. Xia became anxious. "Quickly, put the person on that bed."
When Hou Yunhai and his group arrived, Liu Xinwei and the others were still waiting outside. However, they didn't stay there in vain; they treated each other's minor injuries.
It wasn't that Yunnan Medicine hadn't paid attention to their wounds, but rather that these minor abrasions were nothing compared to Yun Lecang's, and it wouldn't matter if they were treated a little later.
Besides, these people often go out together, so for minor injuries and pains, they can just apply some herbal medicine themselves.
Looking at the tightly closed door, Wu Yong asked, "What's the situation now? Is there any hope?"
Liu Xinwei: "There should still be hope, right? They've been inside for so long. If there was no hope, Uncle Nanyao and the others wouldn't have been able to keep going for so long."
Yun Zhixin slapped him on the back of the head and said, "Say something nice for me. Right now, your main thing is to pray. Don't be pessimistic here."
"Uncle Zhixin, I'm just stating the facts. Can we not be so superstitious?" Liu Xinwei said, rubbing the back of his head where he had been hit, feeling aggrieved.
Liu Zhixin said, "No matter what, we have to think positively at this time. If Xiao Cang is still conscious, he will definitely be able to hear us. You should say some encouraging words at this time."
The group of friends looked thoughtfully at the closed door. After a while, they crowded around the door and started talking about their future plans.
"Xiao Cang, we have to hang in there. I'm still waiting for you to throw a barbecue party together. When Sister Yunqi comes back, I'll go to her and ask for her secret ingredients."
"Yes, that snake was scared away by our medicine. When you wake up, your brother will take you to get revenge."
"Xiao Cang, you have to hold on, or your dad will be heartbroken when he comes back."
"Xiao Cang, you promised to make me a small crossbow for the children to play with. We can't break our promise. Even though you didn't make it very well, I won't complain."
"..."
I don't know how much time passed, but the young people outside took turns chatting away at the door.
The villagers gradually received the news and rushed over. Yun Lecang's family sat there quietly, wiping their eyes, afraid that if they spoke, they would be unable to stop their tears.
A few incandescent lamps in the village illuminated the rooms inside, and one could vaguely see busy figures inside.
As night fell, everyone except those with children at home who had to go back to comfort their kids stayed here to keep watch.
"Come in, two men, help us out!" At this moment, everyone felt that Yunnan Yao's voice was simply heavenly, and everyone excitedly stood up and looked at the door.
Hou Yunhai and Wu Yong squeezed through and went in first, leaving those who wanted to go in and check the situation craning their necks, trying to see clearly through the crack in the door.
The door opened and closed in front of everyone, but this time it only lasted for more than ten minutes before Yunnan Yao and his people came out.
Dr. Xia carefully closed the door behind her.
Everyone looked at them expectantly, but no one asked the question.
According to Yunnan medicine, "Xiao Lecang is temporarily fine, but he will need to rest in bed for a long time. However, at least his life should be saved."
Hearing this uncertain news, everyone's minds were filled with questions: What does it mean that everything is okay for now? And what does it mean that we should protect them?
"What are you keeping me in suspense for? Tell me how the child is doing?" The second grandfather tapped the ground with his cane, clearly not wanting to hear this answer.
The elderly people had been refusing to leave despite everyone's persuasion, waiting for this moment of news. Now, hearing such an ambiguous answer, they were naturally dissatisfied.
