Qi Yue came over and jokingly said, "It's still unclear who's bullying whom. My brother is definitely a henpecked husband."
He Manwen quickly interrupted and said, "I have never seen a boy more handsome and outstanding than Yihan. Yihan, if Jingqiu dares to bully you, tell your aunt and she will help you beat her up."
Chu Jingqiu glanced at Xiao Yihan, rolled her eyes at him coquettishly, and they smiled at each other.
At this time, the attending physician, Dr. Huang, came in and said with a smile, "Mr. He, Mr. Xiao, the results of our blood draw this morning are out, and there is no toxin in the blood.
All indicators have returned to normal. This is really a miracle. Our hospital has never had such a case.
I would like to ask Mr. He, what do you usually eat? In the past, when other people's condition was this serious, it usually did not last more than 48 hours.
When we were rescuing you, we felt that your body had a certain resistance to this toxin, otherwise you wouldn't have recovered so well."
Grandpa He thought for a moment and said, "I've only been taking some Chinese medicinal herbs Xiaoqiu gave me recently, and nothing else. But after taking them, my blurry eyes and hearing are gone, and the old woman's legs don't hurt anymore. I wonder if this is the reason."
Old Master Xiao smiled and said, "My wife, Yutao and his wife have all eaten it, and it's exactly as Mr. He said. Yutao's old injury no longer hurts, and he's much stronger."
Doctor Huang was very curious, so he asked Chu Jingqiu, "Xiaoqiu, where did you get the herbs? Can you let me see them?"
Chu Jingqiu smiled and said, "I picked them from the mountain. There are no more now. I will show them to you when I pick more."
Although the doctor felt a little regretful, he still smiled and nodded.
Chu Jingqiu seemed to have thought of something. She walked up to Dr. Huang and whispered, "Uncle Huang, can you tell me what poison my grandfather was poisoned with?"
Doctor Huang smiled and said, "Xiao Qiu, the toxin in your grandfather's body is called amanita toxin, which is found in highly poisonous mushrooms.
This toxin damages the liver and can eventually lead to multiple organ failure and death.
Your grandfather is so lucky. Our rescue efforts were very dangerous. We had already given you critical illness several times yesterday. To be honest, we didn't expect him to survive.
So I was curious about what medication he was taking so we could do some research and save people who accidentally get poisoned by eating mushrooms.”
Chu Jingqiu had no other choice. Without the spiritual spring water and Master Yunhai's elixir of life, his grandfather would definitely die, and these things could not be known to the world.
Mr. He smiled and said, "I told you I'm fine! You all don't believe me, Xiao Huang, can I be discharged from the hospital?"
Dr. Huang suggested that Mr. He stay for two more days for observation. Mr. He insisted on being discharged, and Dr. Huang had no choice but to agree to let him go home for observation and come back if he felt any discomfort.
Chu Jingqiu smiled and said to the doctor, "Doctor, let's not go through the discharge procedures yet. Please keep my grandfather's discharge a secret.
You can pretend to come for rounds every day as normal, and if someone comes to visit, you can just say that Mr. He is seriously ill and no outsiders are allowed to visit, okay?"
The doctor looked at Chu Jingqiu in confusion. Chu Jingqiu smiled and said, "I suspect my grandfather didn't just have food poisoning, but someone deliberately poisoned him. I want to find out the truth."
Old Master Xiao looked at Chu Jingqiu with admiration and said, "Xiaoqiu, you are such a smart child. Old He has not trained you in vain. We also had such suspicions, but we didn't expect Old He to wake up so quickly.
Yihan, Xiaoyue, you guys quietly send Lao He home, I'll arrange everything, you guys go back first!"
Xiao Yihan put a hat on Mr. He that almost covered his face, and asked his guard Xiao Xu to help Mr. He go down first.
Let Mr. He sit in Mr. Xiao's car, and then let Mr. Xiao's driver take him back to the compound. As long as he enters the compound, people outside will not see that Mr. He has been discharged from the hospital.
Qi Yue and Xiao Yihan sent Chu Jingqiu, his father, and grandmother home, and He Manwen stayed in the hospital to work, creating the illusion that they were taking turns to take care of Mr. He.
After Xiao Yihan sent them home, he and Qi Yue went to work. When Chu Jingqiu returned home, she saw the old man sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper. She smiled and said, "Grandpa, you are just fine. You need to rest more. Go to bed quickly."
Mr. He said unconvincedly: "I'm already well. I feel as light as when I was young. I don't need to lie down."
Chu Jingqiu knew that the old man was not lying, but she still wanted him to have a good rest.
She brought over a thin quilt, let the old man half-lie on the sofa, covered him with the quilt, and then poured him a glass of boiled water mixed with spiritual spring water.
"Grandpa, can you tell me about the poisoning process?"
He Qixian put down the newspaper and told her in detail how he was poisoned.
"The state-owned restaurant near my home serves fried dried mushrooms every Thursday at noon. You know I like it the most, so I always ask the waiter to add more cumin powder.
In the past, your grandma and I would go there to eat together, but that day she had something urgent to do, so I went there alone.
I didn't feel anything after eating it, but on Saturday evening I started to feel uncomfortable in my stomach, and then I vomited and had diarrhea.
Your father and mother took me to the hospital, and I started vomiting blood. I later fell into a coma. Let your grandmother tell you what happened next."
Li Peilan was knitting nearby. She continued, "After arriving at the hospital, the doctor suspected food poisoning and quickly gave him a gastric lavage to detoxify. Your grandfather's breathing was unstable at the time, and the doctor gave him a critical condition several times.
Because the next day was the weekend, Qi Yue and Yi Han were both there. When we went to the hospital, they took your Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao with them.
Your father said he would send you a telegram, but Yi Han insisted on answering it himself. He was afraid that you would worry after receiving the telegram and that something might happen to you on the way.
He and Qi Yue set out to pick you up at around two in the morning. We actually wanted you to come and see your grandfather for the last time.
Fortunately, your grandpa was lucky enough to escape this disaster, otherwise our family would have been in trouble."
Chu Jingqiu then asked a question: "Grandpa, when you were eating mushrooms that day, did you notice anything different from usual, or did anything strange happen?"
Mr. He thought for a moment and said, "I didn't see anyone suspicious. It's just that when I was eating, I felt that some of the mushrooms were not fried thoroughly and the taste was a bit strange, so I didn't finish it.
I left some of the ones that were not fried thoroughly. I never wasted food before, so I ate them all.
Now that I think about it, are those weird-smelling, undercooked mushrooms poisonous? I've never seen anything like that before."
"Grandpa, do many people know that you like this dish? And who are the people who know that you often go there to eat on Thursdays?"
