Chapter 804 820: Poisonous Fruit
When she was almost at the place where honey fungus grew, Yang Chunyan remembered the Gastrodia elata she had picked here last year. She walked back to the place and looked around, but didn't find a single Gastrodia elata.
Over there, Zhang Xiuxiang was already shouting, "Come and see, the honey fungus has grown out, it's quite a large patch! We also found a few Gastrodia elata here."
"Let me see!" Yang Chunyan turned around happily and saw yellow-brown honey fungus growing layer upon layer all the way up to the dead tree trunks. If they were all picked, there would be at least twenty or thirty kilograms.
"Come here!" Zhang Xiuxiang waved at her, "There are also Gastrodia elata here!"
Yang Chunyan walked over and saw the arrow shaft she was pointing at, and said with a smile: "I went to the place where I found Gastrodia elata last year, but I didn't find even a hair there, but you have several here."
"This is what they call 'when the east is dark, the west is bright.'" Li Qiuyue proudly poked the Gastrodia elata in front of her with herb hoe, "Look, there are still two here!"
Yang Chunyan put down her backpack and said, "You guys dig Gastrodia elata, and I'll pick honey fungus. The sound of 'crack, crack' when pulling out the mushrooms is more enjoyable."
Zhang Xiuxiang waved her hand and said, "We like to dig up more valuable things. You and your sister-in-law can enjoy it."
"Hehe!" Yang Chunyan put down the basket, grabbed a few honey fungi and plucked them with a "click". She felt that this was the only way to pick mushrooms.
Zhao Huifang plucked a bunch of them and said, "My uncle sent me 20 to 30 kilograms yesterday. Together with what we harvested two days ago, we should be able to dry more than 10 kilograms, right?"
"Almost!" Yang Chunyan picked off a few dead leaves from the mushrooms and patted the mushroom caps. "I think there are more mushrooms this time than last year. Look, they have grown under those trees."
"I think so too." Zhao Huifang put a handful of flowers in the basket. "It's a pity that many of them have already opened their umbrellas. If I had come early this morning, I would have picked only buds."
Yang Chunyan: "It's a good time to pick the flowers now, as they are not too watery. It's not too late to pick them now, as many flowers will have withered by tomorrow."
Before the two had finished picking, Zhang Xiuxiang and Li Qiuyue arrived. Four pairs of hands worked much faster and they had finished all the grass in no time.
Yang Chunyan put the mushrooms on the ground into the basket, looked at the time, and then took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off her face. "It's almost two o'clock. I'll go home and rest for a while before I get back to work."
"Hmm!" Li Qiuyue scratched the back of her neck. "I want to go back and wash myself too. I think I got pricked by a chili pepper just now. It's burning, painful and itchy."
"Let me take a look." Yang Chunyan came forward and saw a red and swollen spot on the back of her neck. "It looks like you got pricked by a chili pepper. Wait a minute, I'll get some lobelia to rub it for you."
As she spoke, she took a few half-flowered flowers from her backpack, mashed them up, and smeared them on the back of her neck. "Do you feel better?"
Li Qiuyue nodded. "It's a little cool, and I feel a little better now."
The four sisters-in-law took the dog back to the big rock, picked up their backpacks and walked back. Before they reached the back mountain, they saw a group of people rushing down the mountain in a hurry.
Li Qiuyue saw the person running by and nudged Yang Chunyan, "What happened to Wang Chunhua and Li Wu?"
Yang Chunyan smiled and shook her head, "You might as well ask Huai'an instead of asking me!"
Zhao Huifang smiled and said, "Chunyan, I see that after you got married here, apart from us sisters-in-law, you can only talk to Wan Xuejiao and Ma Chunhua!"
Yang Chunyan thought about it and it was true. Even Yang Hui didn't know what was going on. Although the two families lived only a few steps away from each other, they rarely played together.
"Chunhua, Chunyan is here, quickly ask her if there is any way." Before she finished speaking, Ma Chunhua pointed at Yang Chunyan and shouted, "Chunyan, help, help quickly!"
"Sister Ma, what happened?" Yang Chunyan and the others rushed forward after hearing this. Wang Chunhua ran over with tears on her face, "Chunyan, what should we do? My Xiaomin has been poisoned after eating horse mulberry bubbles. What should we do, Chunyan? Wuuu... Wuuu..."
"Ma Sang Pao'er!" Yang Chunyan was also anxious after hearing this and handed the basket to Zhang Xiuxiang, "Did you eat a lot? Did you vomit? Did you have a seizure?"
Wang Chunhua cried and said: "He didn't smoke. He said he felt dizzy, uncomfortable, nauseous, and wanted to vomit but couldn't."
Yang Chunyan thought that if she went to her house to induce vomiting, it would take at least half an hour, "Hurry up and tell the people in front to stop and induce vomiting for him."
Ma Chunhua hurriedly said, "Chunyan, they said we have to feed him pig manure."
Yang Chunyan said anxiously: "Pig manure cannot detoxify, it can only induce vomiting."
She remembered that when she was a child, every few months there would be children coming to the old man for treatment after eating mulberry fruit. The first thing he would do was to feed them water to induce vomiting, and then send them to the hospital for gastric lavage and detoxification.
"Chunhua, hurry up and tell my brother and the others to wait." Wang Chunhua shouted while pulling Yang Chunyan and running very fast. Seeing this, Wangcai followed them, barking.
When she ran to the front, Yang Chunyan saw Wang Laoer carrying Cai Xiaomin on his back and running in front, with a few men following beside them. It seemed that they were taking turns carrying her down the mountain.
Boss Wang took Cai Xiaomin down from the bed, put her on the ground, and anxiously asked Yang Chunyan, "How do you induce vomiting in the youngest child? They said that we have to feed him pig manure to detoxify him."
Yang Chunyan repeated what she had just said, "Put your finger under the little tongue and dig into his throat a few times and he will spit it out."
Wang Lao Er said anxiously: "I tried it just now on the mountain, but it didn't work at all because I clenched my teeth so tightly."
Yang Chunyan: "Just turn him over and pinch his mouth open."
Boss Wang turned him over, pinched Cai Xiaomin's cheeks, and forced his mouth open. He looked at his calloused hands and wanted to use force, but was worried about breaking the child's throat.
Begging, "Youngest one, please, just come!"
"Okay, then you pinch it." Yang Chunyan looked at the child's white teeth. She was also afraid that the child would feel uncomfortable and struggle to bite her. She turned her head and saw the stinking wormwood on the side of the road. An idea suddenly came to her mind. She quickly pulled out a few pieces, mashed them up, and stuffed them into his mouth and poked his throat to induce vomiting.
"Ugh~ Ugh~" Cai Xiaomin's throat was stabbed, and coupled with the stimulation of the stinking wormwood, she struggled with nausea, and then she let out a "wow" and vomited violently, with black and red mulberry fruits, rice grains and vegetable leaves sprayed everywhere.
Seeing that the amount was quite large, Yang Chunyan thought that if she delayed for too long, something might really happen. She looked at Wang Chunhua who was wiping her tears and felt happy for this poor woman.
"Spit it out, spit it out..." Everyone shouted happily. They were all just having fun and no one minding the dirty way the child vomited.
"You vomited it out. Oh my God, I was scared to death. Will you be greedy again in the future?" Wang Chunhua wiped her tears and looked at her son with a sad face. She felt distressed and happy. "Chunyan, thank you. Otherwise..."
"Sister Wang, you're welcome." Seeing that she was choking and unable to speak, Yang Chunyan squatted down and stabbed the child's throat a few more times until he could no longer vomit. Then she said to Wang Lao Da, "Carry him home first, give him some water to continue vomiting, and then send him to the hospital for detoxification."
"Oh oh!" Boss Wang didn't care about the dirt, he carried the child on his back and ran towards Yang Chunyan's house, and everyone followed him.
The fruit of the mulberry tree is a plant of the Caprifoliaceae family. Some people also call it water mulberry, poisonous wood, thousand-year-old red, noisy fish, black fruit, etc.
Although this fruit has certain medicinal value, the whole plant is poisonous, especially the young leaves and red fruits, which are the most toxic.
After accidental ingestion of poisoning, the patient may experience dizziness, nausea, and difficulty breathing at the mildest, or convulsions all over the body, leading to cerebral edema, respiratory failure and death.
Although the mulberry tree is poisonous, shepherds prefer it. Not only do goats not show signs of poisoning after eating it, but they also gain weight quickly and become fatter than those eating ordinary grass.
These days are the time when the mulberry fruits are ripe. This fruit is a copycat version of mulberry. When it is not ripe, the red fruits are piled on the branches, and they taste sour and sweet and are very tempting.
Everyone in the mountains knows that it is poisonous, and adults have repeatedly warned children not to pick it and eat it. However, the ripe purple-black fruit is soft and juicy, and the taste is sweeter, so there are always greedy children who can't help but steal some.
It is said that as long as you don't bite the seeds inside, it is not easy to get poisoned. Once you bite them, it will be troublesome, so it is best not to try it easily.
The group soon arrived at Yang Chunyan's medicinal field, and Cai Xiaomin had already been transferred to the back of another man.
After the child vomited, Wang Chunhua was much calmer and stopped crying. She just followed behind and held the child with concern. She ran out of breath but refused to let go.
Yang Chunyan walked down the stairs in two or three steps, took out the key, opened the door, and said to them, "Follow me."
When everyone arrived at the backyard, Yang Chunyan let the child lie on the recliner and said, "Sister Wang, there is boiled water on the table. Hurry up and feed Xiao Min more water. Drink as much as possible."
"Oh oh!" Wang Chunhua hurriedly picked up the teapot and poured water into the bamboo cup, "Xiao Min, be good, drink more, so that the dirt in your stomach can be vomited out."
"Hmm!" Cai Xiaomin responded weakly and obediently drank it in big gulps.
Yang Chunyan went to the kitchen to pour a bowl of peanut oil, and then went to draw a duck feather. After leaving, she asked Wang Chunhua, "How much did you drink?"
Wang Chunhua raised his cup, "Three full cups!"
"Drink more, until you can't drink anymore!" Yang Chunyan poured another cup and handed it to her, saying to Cai Xiaomin, "Xiaomin, be good, you have to drink more. Drink two more cups, and Aunt Yang will add honey water for you to drink!"
Cai Xiaomin looked at her palely, held the bamboo cup that his mother fed to his mouth, and swallowed slowly.
After he finished drinking, Yang Chunyan dipped some peanut oil with a duck feather and poked his throat a few times, just like she did in the mountains. The child lowered his head and started vomiting.
Seeing that the juice in the basin contained mulberry seeds and fruit juice, Yang Chunyan asked Wang Chunhua to drink a few glasses of water and induced vomiting. She did not feel relieved until all he vomited was clear water.
Wang Chunhua and his sister thanked him repeatedly, "Thank you, youngest child. This kid ate so much. If he hadn't met you, he would be in trouble today."
Ma Chunhua said proudly: "I told you, come find Chunyan, she must have a way, look, she has come up with it now!"
Yang Chunyan blushed after hearing this, "I also saw my old man do this. If your family is the same as mine, you will do the same."
Then she gave Cai Xiaomin a cup of honey water and asked him to drink it. She then filled the kettle and handed it to Wang Chunhua. "Sister Wang, I'll lend you my bicycle. It's best to send him to the hospital right now and see a doctor."
After hearing this, Brother Wang said gratefully: "Thank you very much, thank you very much..."
The group went to the front yard, and Yang Chunyan pushed out two bicycles. The two Wang brothers, one rode a women's bicycle for 26 laps with a child on his back, and the other rode a 28-bar bicycle carrying Wang Chunhua and left.
