Councillor Ding held his wife's hand and said, "I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble. You have to suffer like this with me."
Mrs. Ding looked at him and said, "Although we were initially married for the sake of an arranged marriage, after so many years of sharing the ups and downs, supporting each other, you and I have long been inseparable."
Wenwen and He Hongchi, master and apprentice, developed a treatment plan for the congressman and his wife last night.
This morning, the two of them did not go to work, but prepared medicinal herbs at home.
He Hongchi told Wenwen to add spring water from the valley to her medicinal bath: "I think this should be quite effective. Let's soak for a few days to see the results. If it works, try to remove the poison in about half a month."
Wenwen sorted the herbs and said, "Add a little to the antidote. The pills made this way will definitely be more effective."
She was thinking, why not give them spring water to drink from time to time to help them get rid of the poison as quickly as possible.
He Hongchi said, "Sure. Fortunately, our ancestors left us this notebook. Otherwise, who knows how long it would take to cure this poison."
"Master, what you said is truly mysterious. This poison only prevents people from having children, but temporarily causes minimal damage to the body."
He Hongchi said: "Now you understand the profoundness of nature and the interdependent nature of all living things. Don't underestimate this poison. If they don't have a detoxification in two years, they will definitely die.
I've told you before, medicine and poison are inseparable. It all depends on the heart of the person using them. If a person has a crooked mind, even if he has superb medical skills, he can still use them to harm others. If a person has a pure heart, even if he has learned a lot of poison, he can still use poison to save lives.
Wenwen nodded: "Master, I know, don't worry, your apprentice will never use my life's skills to harm others. I only regret that I have learned too little and cannot save more people."
He knew best what kind of character this disciple had. In his entire life, he had only met a few people as righteous as her.
The master and disciple had almost prepared everything. The congressman and his wife took a walk outside and returned to the Wen family courtyard.
Councillor Ding watched as the master and his disciple busily prepared herbs for the couple's detoxification.
He said, "Comrade Wen, your house is really nice. I want to buy a house with a yard like this here, too. Is that okay?"
Wenwen looked at him in surprise. "Councilor Ding, why do you want to buy a house in Lijiawan? Hong Kong is such a beautiful and developed city, and here we are not only backward, but life is also inconvenient in every way."
Councillor Ding said, "The people here are very kind and simple, and the environment is elegant. My wife and I love it. We want to buy a yard here and spend some time here every year when we have free time to cleanse our troubled souls."
Mrs. Ding also said: "Yes, I like it here very much. Can you help us ask if we can buy a yard here?"
After hearing what they said, Wenwen thought about the feasibility of this matter. Buying a house probably wouldn't work as the domestic real estate transactions were not yet liberalized. The situation between the mainland and Hong Kong was unclear, and she couldn't refuse them either. She could think of a way to have the best of both worlds.
“You can do this. You don’t need to buy a house. If you buy a house, you will only live in it for a period of time each year. If you don’t take care of the house, it will be uninhabitable. If there is no living atmosphere for a long time, the decoration inside will easily deteriorate.
I'll ask the village chief if we can set aside a few courtyards to accommodate tourists, like a hotel. Wouldn't that be very convenient?"
After hearing this, Councillor Ding and his wife thought it made sense. They only lived here for ten days or half a month a year at most. It would be bad if they bought a house and had no one to take care of it.
Councillor Ding said, "We didn't think it through. Your idea is great. Lijiawan has no hotels, which is really inconvenient. The environment here is great, and as living standards improve, I think many more people will come here to visit."
"We never thought about this. We always thought that such a backward place wouldn't attract tourists, but you two reminded me."
She had never thought that anyone would come to Lijiawan for tourism, but after hearing what the couple said today, she really had this idea.
It seems that we need to find a place and plan some houses to build a hotel. It cannot be built together with where the villagers live, as this seems unsafe. She needs to think about it carefully.
In the future, the food factory and the pharmaceutical factory will get better and better, and more and more people will come to visit and learn.
In the future, merchants who come here to purchase goods will also have to find a place to live, so this is indeed something to consider.
He Hongchi's voice interrupted Wenwen's thoughts: "We started giving them a medicinal bath, and then we did acupuncture after the bath. After the bath, the meridians are opened, and the acupuncture effect is better this way."
Wenwen nodded and took out the prepared medicinal powder: "Then let's give them a medicinal bath first. The hot water is ready."
They were both poisoned by the same poison and they were a couple. To make it convenient for him, a large bathtub was prepared for him yesterday so that the couple could take a medicinal bath together.
He Hongchi said: "This poison has a characteristic: it likes cold and fears heat. When taking a medicinal bath, we should constantly add hot water to keep their body temperature as high as possible. This will drive the poison out of the body and make acupuncture more effective."
Wenwen stopped what she was doing and said, "Master, when I took his pulse, I felt it was very strange. Why is the patient's pulse so steady even though he's been poisoned? It's not disordered at all, it's floating but not chaotic. Usually, the pulse of a poisoned person is very disordered."
He Hongchi said: "Why is it called a strange poison? Ordinary Chinese medicine and instruments cannot detect it. Another characteristic is that the pulse of the poisoned person is stable. Chinese medicine will think that the pulse is weak and will not associate it with poisoning."
He picked up the teacup and took a sip to moisten his throat. "One more thing: a poisoned person will have a red line or a red dot on their groin. It's bright red and very obvious, so this poison has a nice name called 'Mistaking Beauty'."
Misleading a beautiful woman will prevent her from having children, delay her life, and ultimately cost her life.
Wenwen approached He Hongchi and whispered, "Master, have you asked Councillor Ding about the red line? Also, the red line and the red dot are different in shape. What does that mean?"
"I specifically told Councillor Ding that they had checked and found that there was a thin horizontal line about two centimeters long." He Hongchi said that although they could not speak the same language, they had the same written language and could only communicate in writing.
Wenwen sighed, "This poison is really bad. The clues are all over the Rat Creek. Who can see them? People who are poisoned by this poison will never know the reason until they die."
The rat creek is the area of the buttock groove, which is shaped like a rat, so it is called the rat creek.
He Hongchi nodded, so the ingenuity of this poison lies in this point, which makes the poisoned person unaware.
