Jiang Youchen asked anxiously, "Little sister, where did you get these medicines? Will they cause you any loss or harm?"
He wasn't really concerned about where the money came from; what he was concerned about was whether his sister's actions would harm her.
Xiao Youran took a deep breath, thought for a moment, and said, "It's just that I have a treasure chest, which can take out a lot of things. However, it consumes my luck, and I have to do a lot of good deeds and receive thanks to accumulate this luck."
Jiang Youchen understood instantly.
So she had herself and Steward Zhang do good deeds together in order to accumulate good fortune?
He nodded solemnly, "I understand!"
So that's how it is! At the right time, I had to cover for my sister! So taking the blame was inevitable!
The brother and sister walked and whispered to each other until they reached the top of Dongshan Mountain. Then they descended the ravine from the low slope on the back side and climbed Zhongshan Mountain.
There were originally no roads in Zhongshan, but perhaps because more villagers have been walking on it these past few days, a small path has appeared.
Suddenly, a commotion arose ahead.
"Run! There are poisonous snakes!"
"A poisonous snake has bitten me!"
"Oh my god! Dongzi, how are you?!"
"Son! Son!"
Several villagers ran down from the mountain.
When a villager saw Xiao Youran, he was stunned for a moment. "Little Fu Bao, don't go up the mountain! There's a big poisonous snake on the mountain!"
Another villager said, "This Zhongshan Mountain is really scary. A few days ago, someone was bitten by a wolf, and today a large venomous snake appeared. Let's avoid Zhongshan Mountain in the future!"
The villagers have already invited Dr. Gu to the front to check on the wounded.
When Jiang Youchen led her younger sister through the crowd, she saw a boy of about eleven or twelve years old lying on the ground with his eyes closed. His right arm was swollen, his clothes were open, and he had been bitten on the chest, with black blood gushing from the small hole in the wound.
The renowned physician Gu was taking the patient's pulse. After a moment, he put his hand down, shook his head, and said, "This snake is extremely venomous, and the wound is too close to the heart meridian. The venom has already invaded the heart meridian. I'm afraid he won't live more than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."
A villager nearby threw himself on the boy and burst into tears, “Son! I’m so sorry! Why did you run over to take this hit for me… Waaah…”
Xiao Youran looked at the boy's increasingly bluish-black skin and felt very conflicted.
Snake venom requires antivenom, but antivenom must be injected...
Besides, we don't even know what kind of snake bit me...
She asked, feigning curiosity, "What kind of snake is this? It's so scary!"
Doctor Gu then realized, "Judging from this, it should be a case of flat head syndrome."
Xiao Youran: ? ? ?
What the heck?
One villager immediately said, "It really is a flat-headed typhoon, I saw it!"
Nan Zhuo adopted a defensive posture. "Where's the snake? Where did it go? Why are you all gathered here? Aren't you afraid the snake will come out and bite us again?"
Just as a villager was about to answer, he heard footsteps approaching from the bushes.
A boy's voice shouted, "Kill it! Kill it! Don't be afraid, everyone! Brother Zhao killed this snake!"
Xiao Youran looked up and saw that it was Yun Tiankuang, followed by Zhao Huai.
Zhao Huai was also holding a thick snake that was more than three feet long.
Yun Tiankuang looked at Zhao Huai with eyes full of admiration.
After Zhao Huai approached, he threw the snake to the ground and looked at the boy on the ground with concern, "How is Dongzi?"
Upon hearing this, Dongzi's father cried even harder.
The villagers remained silent.
Zhao Huai also fell silent. He was experienced and knew that this kind of flat-headed snake was highly venomous. If bitten by it, and so close to the heart, it would be difficult to survive.
Xiao You Ran took one look and realized, "Isn't that a cobra?"
She quietly pulled her brother aside and said, "Brother, I have a way to save him. Can you make sure they can't see it?"
Jiang Youchen was silent for a moment, then clenched his fist tightly before standing up and saying loudly, "Dad Dongzi, I can save him!"
The villagers who had been lying on the ground weeping immediately raised their heads. "Who? Who said they could save him?!"
Jiang Youchen took a step forward, then looked around and said, "I can save him, but you can't see it!"
Some villagers asked in surprise, "Why can't we watch?"
"This...this is my family's ancestral method for treating snake venom, and it cannot be stolen by others!" Jiang Youchen felt her whole body trembling with tension, but she still said firmly, "Dad Dongzi, if you trust me, move Dongzi behind this big rock, and none of you are allowed to come over!"
Without saying a word, Dongzi's father immediately wiped away his tears, picked up his son, and moved behind a huge rock. He then stretched out his arms to block the rock and urged, "Young Master Jiang, can you save him? If you really can save him, I'll kowtow to you three times!"
Jiang Youchen took his sister's hand and walked behind the rock, saying casually, "You don't need to kowtow three times, just say thank you."
Wen Yuanbai, who had been observing coldly, finally spoke up, "Didn't you say that no one else could watch?"
Jiang Youchen glanced at Wen Yuanbai, raised his little sister's hand, and said, "This is a secret technique passed down through my Jiang family. My sister's surname is Jiang, so why can't she see it?"
Wen Yuanbai pursed his lips and said nothing more.
Once the siblings reached the back of the rocks, Xiao Youran took out a bottle of cobra venom serum and a syringe from her sleeve. Then, under her brother's watchful eye, she injected the serum into Dongzi's arm.
Jiang Youchen stared in disbelief, desperately covering her mouth to prevent herself from asking a question.
This syringe is simply unlike anything I've ever seen before.
A moment later, the brother and sister emerged calmly from behind the rock. "All done."
Yun Tiankuang said in utter shock, "Cousin, you..."
Can it really cure snake venom?
The villagers were all very surprised and came forward to watch. Dongzi's father took his son out and found that the bluish-black color on his face had faded a lot.
He knelt down with a thud, holding his son, before Jiang Youchen and Xiao Youran, saying, "Thank you, my two little benefactors!"
Doctor Gu was somewhat incredulous. He stepped forward and took the child's pulse. After a moment, he was also amazed. "The poison has really been reduced by seven or eight tenths! Quickly take the child down the mountain to find Doctor Wang to prescribe an antidote and get the medicine for him to take to remove the remaining poison."
Dongzi's father was about to kowtow to Jiang Youchen when he was stopped by him. "Uncle, hurry up and take Dongzi back. It's the right thing to do to prescribe medicine and have it decocted!"
Without saying anything more, Dongzi's father immediately picked up his son and flew down the mountain.
Doctor Gu looked at Jiang Youchen and his sister with a puzzled expression, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
Jiang Youchen knew what he wanted to ask. As a fellow healer, he must be eager to know what secret technique he used, but could he explain it? He couldn't!
So, feeling guilty, he pulled his sister toward the cave they had visited before.
