Chapter 246 Poisoning



After the commander left, Tian Cai gathered some medicinal herbs and sat in the pavilion to grind them. Although he seemed to be working in an orderly manner, his mind was actually racing.

She searched her mind for similar illnesses, but for a moment she had no clue. The few that seemed to be somewhat related were either neurological diseases or poisoning. According to her understanding, Western medicine should be able to diagnose such illnesses.

How can you say that no problems were found? Could it be that the current equipment is not up to standard?

Thinking that he couldn't judge the patient's condition based on a few words from Commander Yu, everything had to wait until they sent the patient away. To be on the safe side, Tian Cai collected a small porcelain bottle full of dew in advance so that it would be convenient to take when the time came.

Tian Cai thought that the person Commander Yu mentioned would be sent here soon, but he ended up waiting for five days, and Old Man Jiang was also with him.

"If I want to take the person away, the procedures are rather complicated." Commander Yu explained that Cheetah is a key figure in a mission and cannot be taken away casually in the name of medical treatment. Even if he was brought here, it was because the higher-ups had investigated everything about Tian Cai, and many people followed him.

This time, Tian Cai's house was directly requisitioned as a ward. Several people placed the men inside, leaving two behind. The rest scattered around, all staring at this side with vague eyes.

Tian Cai learned more about the patient's condition from Old Master Jiang, as well as the methods they had adopted during this period and the patient's response. When he heard that Old Master Jiang had even used the Jiang family's unique brain-awakening acupuncture, he immediately frowned.

If it was just a normal coma, the acupuncture for awakening the orifices would definitely have a response. The Jiang family's brain-awakening acupuncture is a stronger version of the acupuncture for awakening the orifices, so why is it still ineffective? Could it be the second scenario she suspected?

"Have you done a blood test?" Tian Cai asked this because most toxins can be detected as abnormal through blood tests.

Old Master Jiang also frowned and sighed, "It's because the test results showed no abnormalities that we're considering it as a possible brain injury."

Not to mention blood tests, they tried everything they could and found nothing. Even though Mr. Jiang had seen a lot of things, he still found this kind of disease difficult to treat.

Tian Cai thought about it for a while but didn't ask. It seemed that MRI and brain CT had not been introduced into the country at that time. She really wanted to ask what head examinations were based on?

No matter what method others use, she can only rely on taking the patient's pulse. Tian Cai closed her eyes and slowly felt the patient's pulse. This was the longest time she had taken a pulse. At first she thought that the man had no pulse, but he was warm. Although his body temperature was much lower than that of a normal person, it was definitely not the temperature of a dead person.

Her fingers stayed on his wrist for a while before she felt the slight beating of his pulse. It was very faint indeed. If Tian Cai had not kept it there long enough and her perception was not sharp enough, she would have missed it.

Tian Cai took his pulse for fifteen minutes. The pulse beat about once every half a minute, and sometimes even lasted as long as a minute. This is absolutely abnormal.

This condition is very similar to the "leaky roof pulse" mentioned in medical books, but it is more serious than the situation recorded above.

As the name suggests, the leaky roof pulse means that the intervals between pulse beats are long, like water drops dripping from the eaves.

Seeing Tian Cai withdraw his hand, Commander Yu hurried forward and asked, "How is it?"

"I think it's poisoning," but this poison doesn't just come from plants or venomous snakes, it should be a mixed toxin. Tian Cai stood up and took his silver needle. Looking at the worried Master Yu, he said calmly, "There's no definite solution for now. I can only try my ideas bit by bit, but I still need your opinion on whether it will work."

Commander Yu looked at the pale face of the man on the hospital bed and gritted his teeth, "Go ahead and try. This is the worst that can happen anyway!"

He doesn't know medicine, but it was Tian Cai who cured his back injury, and even though the old lady of the Huang family's heart disease was not fully healed, she looked no different from an ordinary person under Tian Cai's care. This girl looks young, but with these examples, Commander Yu doesn't dare to underestimate her at all. Besides, Cheetah's condition is already like this, how much worse can it get? Let's just give it a try!

Tian Cai asked Xiao Liang to help take off the man's clothes, leaving only a piece of clothing to cover the key parts. She wanted to prick many acupuncture points this time, almost every part of the body. Fortunately, there were enough silver needles at home.

Old Master Jiang's eyes flickered, but he didn't move.

Tian Cai first took out a bottle of pills from the medicine box, placed them in a small bowl, then poured some liquid from the small bottle and crushed the pills with the bottom of a spoon.

"Help me pry his mouth open." Tian Cai said to the plainclothes man who had been standing aside.

Knowing that the cheetah was to be given medicine, the man stepped forward and swiftly removed his jaw.

"Hey? Don't do it like this next time. It can easily cause habitual dislocation." Tian Cai put the medicine bowl aside, reached out to put the man's jaw back on, poked his throat, and his mouth opened slightly.

She asked the plain-clothed man to help her raise her head slightly and carefully pour the medicine into her mouth.

That's an enhanced version of the detoxification pill. If taken with dew and combined with the whole-body detoxification injection she developed, the effect will definitely be noticeable.

She flexed her wrists and fingers and inserted needles into the men one by one. To an outsider, there was no pattern at all. Sometimes she inserted needles into the thigh, sometimes into the top of the head, and sometimes into the fingertips. It was a dazzling sight.

Instead, Old Master Jiang seemed to be thinking about her acupuncture techniques. Well, he understood that the needle here was to protect the heart meridian, and he also understood that the needle at the branch point was to treat snake, scorpion, centipede and other insect poisons. He knew every needle that Tian Cai gave him, but he didn't understand how to combine them together. It felt like there was no pattern or rules at all.

After a while, the person on the hospital bed was covered with silver needles, which looked so cold that people were afraid to approach.

About ten minutes later, Tian Cai took out a small knife and cut a small cut on the man's middle finger. In an instant, dark red and black blood gushed out, emitting a slightly unpleasant fishy smell.

Old Master Jiang's expression changed and he looked at Tian Cai with shock.

Commander Yu was also shocked, "What is this?"

"Detoxification." Tian Cai took two bamboo tubes and took them over. He stared at the two fingers, and when the color of the blood was not so dark, he stood up, pulled out the needles in several places, and continued to bleed.

Strangely enough, the blood color was almost returning to normal, but after a few silver needles were removed, it turned dark red again.
