Chapter 111: Treating the Symptoms but Not the Root Cause
"No, it will take at least an hour and a half to get to the hospital. What if something happens?"
Zhao Yaozu originally had too high expectations of Doctor Xing, and when he heard him ask to send the patient to the hospital, he immediately became anxious.
"Village chief, we are short of doctors and medicine here. How can I save him? I am only using first aid methods, which only treat the symptoms and not the root cause. It can only temporarily control the spread of the poison. To be on the safe side, you should send him to the hospital!"
Doctor Xing shook his head and sighed. Even a good cook cannot cook without rice. How can he save people?
"Here is a prescription. Can you give it to him first and then go to the hospital?"
Zhao Yaozu suddenly remembered the prescription Li Sihui gave him and hurriedly handed it to Dr. Xing.
"60-90 grams of fresh whole herb, pound and squeeze the juice, take it with cold boiled water, add realgar to the residue and apply it externally, add Polygonum cuspidatum, Lobelia, Aucklandia lappa, and Cnidium officinale, decoct in water and take it."
Doctor Xing took it in his hand, read it once, and nodded. Although it was just a folk remedy, it contained Lobelia chinensis, which is a medicine that fights poison with poison, so it should be of some use.
"But where can we find realgar? And we have to go to the mountains to collect these herbs. How can we find them in the middle of the night? Let's send him to the hospital first. I'll boil the medicine and send it to him tomorrow."
He handed the prescription to Zhao Yaozu, but he still felt that it was safer to go to the hospital, and he would not be responsible.
"Okay, I'll find someone to take Jin Chen to the hospital. Could you please help Doctor Xing go into the mountains to collect herbs tomorrow morning? I have some realgar at home. It was left by my father. He liked to go into the mountains to hunt, and he was afraid of encountering poisonous snakes, so he prepared realgar."
Zhao Yaozu did not force Doctor Xing anymore. He was too impatient just now. He was right. It would be better to go to the hospital for insurance.
But since Doctor Xing also said that this medicine is effective, let him help to make the medicine.
"Okay, I'll go into the mountains tomorrow, but my identity..."
Doctor Xing was somewhat hesitant. His special identity restricted his actions. He had to behave himself every day and tried not to leave the cowshed.
"It's okay. If anyone makes trouble, just say I told you to go to the mountain to work."
Zhao Yaozu waved his hand and said that as the village chief, he still had this power.
Because of Zhou Guifang and Zhao Yuying's crying, most of the people in the village were awakened. They put on their clothes and ran out. Their first thought was that something had happened in Li Sihui's family again.
When they heard the crying coming from the cowshed, everyone rushed towards the cowshed shouting.
"I just said that the man surnamed Xing is not a good person. Did he harm someone's woman?"
"It must be. Go quickly and beat this stinky old man down."
"Hurry up, everyone, grab your weapons and don't let this evildoer get away with it."
For a moment, everyone was very excited and thought that Dr. Xing was lonely in the cowshed and had harmed someone's woman.
Zhao Yaozu had just decided to take his son to the hospital in the city when he heard a commotion outside the door. He frowned and walked out. Who are they doing to cause trouble at this time?
"What are you doing?"
As he went out, he shouted in a harsh voice. When the villagers saw that it was the village chief coming out of the cowshed, they quickly put down the shovels and pitchforks they were holding.
"Village leader, we heard a woman crying in the house."
Sun Guodong's father, Sun Baixiang, jumped out and said that his wife had been taken to the commune and had not been released yet, and he hated the village chief to death.
He said this on purpose at this time. There was a woman crying in the room, and Zhao Yaozu came out from inside, which proved that he was the one who caused trouble.
If we catch him, let's see how he will behave in the future. The village chief will be taken down, and maybe he will be the village chief if he has done something good!
"There is a woman crying, my wife, why, is that not okay?"
Zhao Yaozu said something unpleasant to him and was in a hurry to get the horse and didn't bother to talk to him.
After Sun Baixiang heard this, his eyes lit up and he shouted to the villagers behind him, "Kill the man named Xing. He harmed the village head's wife. Don't let him go."
