Chapter 33: There is heartbreak grass among the wild vegetables!
"It was too hot. I didn't have time to give it to the child. I just tested the temperature and tasted a little."
Sun Qiulan felt that Ran Qingxuan seemed a little too nervous, but Chen Chengping next to her didn't think so.
Seeing Ran Qingxuan so nervous, he quickly picked up the wild vegetable leaves in the bowl and carefully identified them. But after just a moment, his heart sank suddenly and he said with a trembling voice.
"Heartbroken...Heartbroken...Grass!"
Ran Qingxuan knew that wild vegetables were poisonous, but he didn't expect it to be the heartbreak grass!
Gelsemium elegans is also known as Gelsemium elegans, Gelsemium elegans, big tea medicine, mountain arsenic, and rotten intestine grass. Not only are its stems and leaves poisonous, but its roots are even more poisonous.
If you eat the rhizome directly, your intestines will turn black and become sticky, and you will die from constant abdominal pain.
Even boiled leaves are still poisonous!
Chen Chengping's voice was not loud. When the Xiao family members who were nearby heard it, they immediately put down their bowls. Only the Shang and Li families at the front of the line were still holding their bowls.
Chen Yue'er was so frightened that she couldn't speak, and her mother stood there at a loss as to what to do.
Ran Qingxuan knew that a seven or eight-year-old child definitely did not have as strong resistance as an adult, so he quickly spoke to Chen's mother.
"Aunt, hurry up and let her drink water, lots of water. I'll go get the official to ask for charcoal ash. If Uncle Chen knows herbs, go find some honeysuckle and licorice."
Eating less does not mean there is no cure. In ancient times, there were no conditions for gastric lavage, so people could only take charcoal ash and drink water to induce vomiting. After vomiting, they had to quickly boil mung beans, honeysuckle and licorice before taking it.
The Chen family father and son were sensitive to plants, so they immediately started searching around.
When Ran Qingxuan passed by the Shang family, he saw the youngest child of the family still holding the bowl. He couldn't bear it and reminded him.
"Stop eating, there is aconite in the wild vegetables in the dumpling soup. Give the child some water to induce vomiting."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the Shang family just put down their bowls, as if they didn't believe what Ran Qingxuan said.
In response, Ran Qingxuan just shook her head with a sullen face. There was no point in saying more. She had to hurry and find the officials.
But before he got close to the ruined temple, Ran Qingxuan heard sounds of painful wails coming from inside.
Most of the officers fell to the ground, rolling around holding their stomachs, wailing one after another. There were only three people in the entire escort team who could still stand. These three people had been guarding the prisoners outside before, so they did not have time to drink the dumpling soup.
But the rest of the people were not so lucky, and each of them drank at least one bowl.
"Boss, boss, how are you?"
"It hurts... I'm going to die, it hurts... It hurts so much..."
"Could it be that there are poisonous weeds mixed in with the wild vegetables? How can we find a doctor in this remote place?"
Bu Wei was the first to drink, and he drank two bowls. There was also a small piece of Gelsemium elegans rhizome in his bowl, which directly aggravated his symptoms.
When the officers heard one of them mention the doctor, they immediately remembered that Ran Qingxuan knew a little about medicine, and that the doctor had just reminded him.
Just when he was about to call Ran Qingxuan over, she had already appeared at the entrance of the dilapidated temple.
"Ran, since you can tell it's poisonous, you should be able to tell what kind of poison it is, right?"
Seeing that Bu Wei was about to faint from the pain, Ran Qingxuan was not so anxious anymore and spoke in a calm tone.
"There's heartbreak grass among the wild vegetables!"
"Heartbreak Grass...can it cure it?" An officer was in so much pain that he fantasized that Ran Qingxuan might have an antidote.
Ran Qingxuan knew that he would not die immediately if he did not eat much, so he walked slowly towards Bu Wei.
When the officers and soldiers saw her action, they became anxious instantly.
"Are you waiting so long to see our leader die? Hurry up and get medical treatment!"
After hearing this, Ran Qingxuan just stood there, with an attitude of "what can you do to me?"
"Let me make it clear. You are the ones who need help now, not me. You should have an attitude when asking for help, right?"
Ran Qingxuan was gambling that her future exile would be a long one. If she didn't let the officials realize that she was not easy to bully, the Gu family would probably suffer even more in the future.
The officers had never suffered such a great loss in front of a prisoner. Bu Wei's younger brother Bu Fei could no longer contain his anger and had already drawn his knife.
Qian Zheng stopped the man immediately.
"Your brother's life is at stake, don't be impulsive!"
Ran Qingxuan raised his eyebrows and looked at the person who was glaring at him. He didn't expect that this person was Bu Wei's younger brother.
Bu Fei had no choice but to compromise for the sake of his elder brother's life. He gritted his teeth and said, "Tell me, I can agree to any condition you ask!"
Ran Qingxuan didn't rush to negotiate, but pointed at the burnt charcoal and said, "Drink water, take the charcoal ash, anyone who ate the dumpling soup should drink plenty of water immediately and induce vomiting. I have asked someone to find honeysuckle and licorice."
Bu Fei immediately ran to give Bu Wei a cup of water. The rest of them forced themselves to sit up, picked up the water bag on their backs and drank it down.
"Drink as much as you can, then induce vomiting, and repeat several times until the vomited water becomes clear."
Considering that he would have to boil medicine later, Ran Qingxuan looked at Bu Fei, who had always been unkind to him.
"Go get some water. You'd better bring back more."
Bu Fei thought that the water was to save his brother, so he immediately picked up everyone's empty water bags and ran out.
Some of the officers and soldiers had already started vomiting. Ran Qingxuan asked Qian Zheng to watch Bu Wei, then took some carbon ash and walked out.
"What are you going to do?" He Xun thought that Ran Qingxuan was not going to save people, so he asked anxiously.
"You are not the only ones who drank the pimple soup."
After saying that, Ran Qingxuan strode out, and He Xun caught up with him and stopped him.
"No, our boss and his brothers are not well yet. You are not allowed to go anywhere until they are well!"
Ran Qingxuan said with a sullen face when he saw that some of the prisoners had begun to wail in pain.
"Well, you can ask the prisoners with stomachaches to come in and get treated together, so I don't have to run back and forth."
"no."
"If not, then get out of the way. I'll go and treat them myself!"
"No..."
Ran Qingxuan's face instantly turned cold and he started to attack the officer in front of him crazily.
"This won't work, that won't work either, if you have the guts come on, why are you stopping me here?
I told you to drink water to induce vomiting first. Don’t you understand what I say? Even if I want to save people, I have to go and see if the medicine has been found. If you stop me, will your boss be okay? ”
He Xun was a bit stubborn. He stood there and argued for a few words before being pulled away by Qian Zheng who came rushing over.
When Ran Qingxuan passed by several houses, some people had already started holding their stomachs and wailing in pain.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to scold the official, Ran Qingxuan shouted out the method of inducing vomiting by drinking water. Zhao Chunxiu had already started to force water into his son's mouth with a howling sound.
The youngest son of the Shang family drank a whole bowl of water and was now sweating profusely from the pain. Madam Shang also held him in her arms and fed him water.
The Xiao family members were close, and as the water was hot, each of them only drank a small sip before putting down their bowls because of Ran Qingxuan's words, and were also drinking water to induce vomiting.
The Gu and Chen families didn't have any major problems, except for Chen Yue'er, who drank half a bowl of wine and vomited twice, then cried bitterly in her mother's arms in pain.
"Mom, it feels like a pair of scissors is twisting my intestines. I won't die, will I?"
