Chapter 74: Bitten by a Snake

Ever since Shu Lijuan received Mu Bai's compliment, she has been as excited as ever, thinking of ways to make delicious food for Mu Bai every day.

But a good cook cannot cook without rice. Now that everything is in short supply, Shu Lijuan can't cook anything without ingredients.

But last time Mu Bai praised the mushroom soup for being delicious, and there were plenty of mushrooms on this rainy day, so Shu Lijuan took Yang Pingfang and Qian Damei to the mountains to pick mushrooms.

Yang Pingfang was a little reluctant, as she was exhausted from transplanting rice recently, and she had to accompany Shu Lijuan to the mountain to pick mushrooms during her rest time at night. However, she had no choice but to go with Shu Lijuan.

"Lijuan, don't pick poisonous mushrooms again this time." Yang Pingfang thought of the last time she accidentally picked poisonous mushrooms.

"It's okay. After we finish picking them, we'll just show them to the people in the village." Shu Lijuan didn't care.

Because we arrived late, most of the mushrooms at the foot of the mountain had been picked by others.

Shu Lijuan and the other two decided to go into the mountains to collect them.

"Lijuan, I heard from people in the village that there are quite a lot of wild animals in this mountain. Why don't we just forget about it? It has rained so much recently anyway, and it will be the same if we come back to pick mushrooms in a few days." Qian Damei was a little worried.

"Generally speaking, there's nothing to worry about out here, don't be afraid. Any wild animals are in the mountains, so we can just take a walk outside, nothing will happen." Shu Lijuan is brave and thinks that going into the mountains is not a big deal. If she just walks around the periphery, she might make other discoveries.

Shen Ruoqing was sorting mushrooms. He picked too many and couldn't dry them in the sun, so he could only choose to dry them with fire.

"Mom, do people in the city buy these mushrooms? Can these mountain products be sold? I see that the supply and marketing cooperatives also sell these mountain products."

"It's not the time for individual transactions to happen now."

"What if we sell these mountain products in the name of the collective?" Shen Ruoqing asked, "If we unite the brigade and sell these mountain products in the name of the collective, will the supply and marketing cooperative accept them?"

Old Mrs. Ji hesitated, "It's not like they can just accept it."

"As long as the goods are good, why are you afraid that he won't accept them? Let my third brother go and talk to the team leader. Our team has tractors and can deliver the goods to the door. If it really works, we can also get multiple incomes." Shen Ruoqing picked at the mushrooms.

There was a knock on the door.

"Something happened! Something happened to the educated youth! Shen Xiangxi, go get the tractor out! Something happened to the educated youth!"

"What? What happened?" Shen Xiangxi put on a piece of clothing and rushed out.

"Shu Zhiqing was bitten by a poisonous snake! He is unconscious! Doctor Li examined him and told us to take him to the county hospital!" The man was anxious.

"What kind of snake bit you? Where is the snake?" Shen Ruoqing asked.

"Ah? The snake should have run away?" The man touched his head. He really didn't know where the snake had gone!

"Where are the people?"

"At Doctor Li's house."

Shen Ruoqing turned around, took his homemade medicine box and ran out.

"Good boy!" Old Mrs. Ji didn't call out to Shen Ruoqing.

When Shen Ruoqing ran to Doctor Li's house, a crowd of people had gathered inside, including all the educated youth.

"Make way." Shen Ruoqing squeezed to the front and saw Doctor Li bandaging the proximal end of the injured limb. It can be seen that the wound has been cleaned with clean water.

"Doctor, can I suck out this snake venom with my mouth?"

"Nonsense, how can you suck it with your mouth? Not to mention that it would be dangerous if you suck it with your mouth, even if you suck it with your mouth, the amount of snake venom you can suck out is very small. The snake venom can be absorbed within a few minutes. It is futile to suck the venom with your mouth."

"What should we do?" Yang Pingfang was very anxious. If it weren't for her, Shu Lijuan wouldn't have been bitten by the snake.

"Miss Ruoqing, you're here." Doctor Li saw Shen Ruoqing at once.

"Doctor Li, let me help clean the wound." Shen Ruoqing took out the kettle, which was filled with spiritual spring water.

"That's fine."

While cleaning the wound, Shen Ruoqing asked, "What kind of snake bit you? Do you remember?"

"It seemed to be a snake with green and yellow stripes. I scared the snake, otherwise Lijuan wouldn't have been bitten." Yang Pingfang felt very guilty.

"Are you sure it's a green and yellow striped snake?" Shen Ruoqing asked.

"I'm sure the pattern is very bright. The green part is bigger and the yellow part is smaller."

"That could be a green-thin snake." Shen Ruoqing cleaned the wound and felt Shu Lijuan's pulse. She was poisoned, but the poison was not strong. There are many kinds of green and yellow snakes, but the most likely one with low poison is the green-thin snake.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"A thin green snake?" The onlookers looked at each other with strange expressions. "Ruoqing girl, don't talk nonsense. This person has fainted. It must be a venomous snake with a strong venom, otherwise how could this person faint?"

"She was scared." Shen Ruoqing confirmed that Shu Lijuan was fine. "But if you are worried, it would be a good idea to send her to the county hospital for more examinations."

"So he was frightened. Don't look at Ruoqing's young age. In fact, her medical skills are better than those of an old man like me." Doctor Li's expression relaxed. She also felt that the educated youth was frightened and fainted, but she was sure that he was bitten by a poisonous snake, so she didn't dare to conclude.

It was just a green and thin snake, at least the girl's life would not be in danger. If anything happened to the educated youth sent down, their team would not be able to get away with anything.

Hearing what Dr. Li said, Yang Pingfang felt relieved. But for safety reasons, Shen Xiangxi drove the tractor to take Shu Lijuan to the county hospital.

The results came out and Shu Lijuan was not seriously injured. Her wounds were treated well and she could be discharged after one day of hospital observation.

As soon as Shu Lijuan opened her eyes, she saw Yang Pingfang.

"Lijuan, you finally woke up. You really didn't know. You really scared me to death!" Yang Pingfang babbled, "But Shen Ruoqing is really capable. She saw that you were bitten by a thin green snake. Fortunately, the poison is not strong. But we should not go to the mountain in the future. It is too dangerous."

Shu Lijuan nodded, she was also very scared.

"Where is Mu Zhiqing?" Shu Lijuan really wanted to know where Mu Bai was now.

"After you were poisoned and fell into a coma, everyone, including Mu Zhiqing, came to see you. I accompanied you to the hospital. Mu Zhiqing is still at the Zhiqing Center."

When Shu Lijuan heard that it was not Mu Bai who sent her here, she felt a little disappointed.

"You went to the mountains to pick mushrooms for Mu Zhiqing, but you were poisoned and Mu Zhiqing didn't show any reaction. Lijuan, I'm telling you this because I'm a good friend of yours. Otherwise, you'd better stop liking Mu Zhiqing. He's like a stone that can't be warmed up." Yang Pingfang said.

Shu Lijuan lowered her head and said nothing.

"You have to look at others. Look at Ma Zhiqing. He's very good. He treats you very well. I heard that Ma Zhiqing's family is a dual-income family and his family conditions are not bad..."

"But I like Mu Zhiqing." Shu Lijuan said in a low voice, not caring whether Yang Pingfang could hear her or not.
