Chapter 163 Shocking Folk Remedy
Zhu behaved like this under the watchful eyes of everyone. Not only Zhang Xiu and her daughter, but even other people in the village saw it and thought Zhu's behavior was abnormal. Although everyone looked at each other, no one spoke.
Ding Hao's hoarse cries as he was carried away by his mother gradually faded away.
Ding Xiaodie looked at her mother: "Mom, did you hear what Ahao said just now?"
"I heard it!" Zhang Xiu nodded.
Just now, Ding Hao said the words "father and mother", and he was pointing at the old woman. What did it mean?
There must be a reason for this, but Ding Hao, who finally spoke, was taken away by Zhu. If he wants to find out what is going on, he will have to wait for an opportunity.
Just at this moment, Lu Xingluo, who had been out on patrol, came back.
The villagers of Aozigou had not yet come to their senses, while the Ding De family was crying their hearts out. Sun was crying and scolding Ding Xiaodie, insisting that she must sacrifice her life for her daughter.
"What's going on?"
Lu Xingluo's appearance was like everyone's life-saving straw, and everyone gathered around him.
You told him everything that had just happened, one word at a time.
"Xiaodie, are you okay?"
After listening to this, Lu Xingluo did not rush to see Ding Mei, but bent down to look carefully at Ding Xiaodie's neck. The poor little girl had a light purple bruise on her neck when she was strangled in Zhu's arms just now.
"It's okay." Ding Xiaodie shook her head firmly. What else could she say? She could only blame herself for being unlucky. The most important thing right now was to save Ding Mei's life.
"Second Young Master, wolfsbane grows in Dayun Mountain. Have you heard of it before?"
After all, Dayun Mountain is the back mountain scenery of Yangliu Town. It is so close, and the Lu family should know something about it.
As expected, Lu Xingluo said, "I know, but even though the wolfsbane flower is poisonous, not everyone will be affected. It can be said that half of it depends on luck."
"So, Ding Mei is very unlucky!"
"She's so vicious at such a young age, of course she'll be in trouble."
When the villagers heard Lu Xingluo say that whether or not wolfsbane would cause poisoning depended on luck, they immediately came up with their own ideas.
Ding Xiaodie didn't have time to think about this, but asked quickly: "Is there any way to detoxify?"
Unexpectedly, after she asked this question, Lu Xingluo's expression turned a little awkward. Her originally rosy face suddenly turned a little red, and she clenched her fist and coughed lightly: "Of course I do, but..."
"Just what?"
Zhang Xiu asked him hurriedly.
The current situation of Ding Mei is not optimistic. If it goes on any longer, I don’t know if she can still survive. But why is the second young master hesitating?
At this moment, Qiuju, the maidservant beside Mrs. Lu, was ordered to come over and see what was going on.
Her arrival interrupted Zhang Xiu's questioning. Qiu Ju politely greeted everyone and asked about what happened. Then she turned around and walked to Ding De's house. She squatted down and reached out to open Ding Mei's eyelids to take a look. Then she noticed that Ding Mei's hands were full of wolfsbane juice.
"At such a young age, you're harming others and yourself."
Qiuju looked at Lu Xingluo: "Second Young Master, do you want to save me?"
Whether to save Ding Mei or not is not Lu Xingluo's business. After knowing what happened, he just wanted to see what Ding Xiaodie thought.
"Of course."
When Lu Xingluo looked at her, Ding Xiaodie couldn't wait to answer. No matter what, she couldn't bear to watch Ding Mei being poisoned to death.
Then Lu Xingluo nodded, and Qiuju said, "In that case, let her take this medicine!"
She took out a small bottle from her bosom and said, "This is a unique medicine made by the people of Yangliu Town, specially made to treat wolfsbane. However, this medicine can only save half of the life. If you want her to be safe, you still have to do one thing."
"What? Please tell me quickly." Sun's voice became hoarse from crying.
Qiu Ju said, "Let her take the pill first. When she wakes up, she should drink a cup of her own urine every day. It will take five days for her to relieve the symptoms."
Sun: "What, drink your own urine?"
The whole village was immediately shocked: "..."
Even Ding Xiaodie was stunned, but she quickly came to her senses. No wonder Lu Xingluo suddenly looked embarrassed just now. It seemed that this folk remedy was real and not just something Qiuju said.
Then Qiuju said, "Believe it or not, people in Yangliu Town stay away from wolfsbane flowers because of this. But your daughter actually reached out and picked them. It's a blessing that she's still breathing."
After saying that, he handed a small red pill to Sun.
Anyway, no matter how they were going to rescue her later, Sun and Ding De no longer cared about that. The couple hurriedly worked together, one holding Ding Mei's head, the other pinching her chin and pressing it down to make her mouth slightly open, and then stuffed the pill into her mouth.
No one noticed that when Qiuju said that wolfsbane should not be touched, Ding Xue, who was standing in the crowd, quietly pinched her fingertips.
She overheard the Lu family's servants talking about the flower. They would take a detour when they saw the flowers. Later, she was afraid that others would find out, so she secretly picked one and gave it to Ding Mei, hinting that she should complete the rest of the task.
What surprised her was that the flowers she had picked with her bare hands were actually fine.
As expected, Ding Mei is very unlucky.
Ding Xue was secretly rejoicing over here, while Ding Mei woke up slowly over there, but she just woke up. She pointed at her neck weakly, indicating that she couldn't speak. There was a bitter taste in her mouth, and she felt like vomiting.
That’s not right. What’s wrong with my daughter’s mouth?
When they saw blood on the corner of Ding Mei's mouth, the couple thought it was due to wolfsbane poisoning. Now that she woke up, they quickly opened her mouth to take a look...
Oh my God, I used to have a nice and neat set of teeth, but now a front tooth has fallen out, leaving such a big gap in my mouth. It's so ugly.
Ding De and his wife were completely stunned!
Their daughter, on whom they placed all their hopes, turned out to be disfigured. How could she marry into a good family in the future? How could they enjoy a happy life?
Oh my God!
“Woo!”
After a low wail, Sun, unable to face the reality, closed his eyes, fell to the ground and fainted.
Well, when her daughter was nearly poisoned to death, she still had the energy to curse, but when she saw her daughter was disfigured, she fainted!
The women in the village rushed forward and pinched the Ren Zhong point to save the man.
After waking up, Sun was as wilted as an eggplant hit by frost!
In the evening, Sun still couldn't make up her mind whether to let Ding Mei drink her urine. It was already difficult for her to get married because of her disfigurement. If she drank urine again, would anyone dare to propose marriage to her if the news got out?
Anyway, they had no hope of marrying the second young master of the Lu family.
When he saw Ding Mei in such a state, the second young master did not rush to save her. Instead, he asked Ding Xiaodie for her opinion. Moreover, when he saw Ding Mei with missing teeth, the second young master was too lazy to even look at her.
Even though my hope is shattered, I can’t give up and try again to see if I can meet something better in the future.
So drinking urine is really a headache.
