Xu Xingchen and Jun Haoyue asked passers-by along the way and found Chen Pi's house. The house of Chen Pi, a local gangster, was located in a remote area and looked very simple from the outside, which surprised Xu Xingchen and Jun Haoyue.
The Yaqing gate was tightly closed. The two stood in front of it. Xu Xingchen wrinkled his nose and sniffed, then asked the person next to him, "Jun Haoyue, do you smell a strange smell?"
Jun Haoyue pursed his lips, looked at the door, walked forward and knocked on it.
"Who is it?"
The door was opened a crack, revealing half of a thin face with a faint blue tint under the eyes, as if he had not slept for several days.
Xu Xingchen was surprised. Who else could it be but Chen Pi? But how could Chen Pi become like this in less than a month?
Before Xu Xingchen could ask any questions, Jun Haoyue flashed and hid her behind him. Suddenly, a man appeared in front of him, and Chen Pi's dull eyes widened.
"You, you are..."
Jun Haoyue raised his eyelids, his face expressionless. Chen Pi yelled at the top of his lungs, "Get out!"
Xu Xingchen jumped up and down behind Jun Haoyue, revealing half of his head. "Hey, come on, we just came to ask you something, and there's a strange smell coming from your house."
Chen Pi cursed twice and was about to close the door. Xu Xingchen got anxious and lunged forward. The door opened due to inertia and Chen Pi was pushed back several steps.
Xu Xingchen was a little embarrassed, touching his nose and saying sorry. Chen Pi's face turned pale and blue, and his lips trembled with anger. He was so angry that he became more and more aggressive, and reached out and shoved Xu Xingchen hard.
Xu Xingchen never expected Chen Pi to do this. She was pushed without any preparation and was about to fall backwards to the ground. She cried out in her heart that she was doomed and closed her eyes, waiting for the pain to come.
As a result, she fell against a wall of flesh. She squinted her eyes. Jun Haoyue looked down at her, his eyes that usually carried a gentle smile, but now they were cold.
After straightening the man, Jun Haoyue walked towards Chen Pi step by step with a gloomy face. Chen Pi screamed in horror: "What are you doing? You are trespassing in my house. I'm going to report you to the police!"
However, Jun Haoyue did not take action. He calmly reasoned with Chen Pi, "We are not here to cause trouble. We just want to ask you about the maltose poisoning. And..." He paused, looked at the room behind Chen Pi, and continued, "Instead of fighting with me, you should quickly treat your family first."
Chen Pi's expression froze, and he asked in disbelief, "How did you know..."
Jun Haoyue didn't answer his question. Xu Xingchen rubbed his shoulders and walked forward to explain, "I can smell the medicine in your house from outside. Let me take a look first. There are rumors outside that you said my maltose is poisonous. I have an obligation to confirm the situation. Maybe I can cure it."
Chen Pi frowned in confusion, and Jun Haoyue said calmly, "Time waits for no one."
"Okay... just follow me."
Chen Pi finally compromised. After all, the doctor's medicine had no effect on his mother. Since it was caused by this woman's thing, maybe there was a way to treat it.
After entering the house, the strange smell outside became stronger. Xu Xingchen raised his hand to cover his nose feeling a little uncomfortable.
Chen Pi was immediately displeased when he saw this, and sarcastically said, "If it weren't for your damn maltose, my mother wouldn't have drunk this weird medicine!"
Xu Xingchen glared at her in dissatisfaction, without even checking whether the problem was with her malt sugar!
Jun Haoyue narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at him coldly. Chen Pi immediately shut his mouth.
In the inner room, a middle-aged woman lay listlessly on the bed, her hair like hay, her face sallow, the dark circles under her eyes even darker than Chen Pi's, and she looked like she was almost exhausted.
Xu Xingchen was a little surprised. This really looked like a sign of poisoning.
Chen Pi knelt beside the bed with a sad face and called out to the person on the bed. The person on the bed hummed as if in response but disappeared, which made Chen Pi's eyes red in an instant.
"What did the doctor say?"
Chen Pi suppressed the sob in his throat and said, "The doctor said it was poisoning, but he couldn't find out what the specific poison was. He just gave my mother an antidote."
Xu Xingchen's face was heavy. The medical level on this dilapidated planet was so poor that the cause of the old man's poison could not be found. He could only hold on to his last breath.
The person on the bed didn't know if he heard their conversation, but tears slowly rolled down the corners of his eyes, which were full of fine lines.
Xu Xingchen bit her lip in frustration and asked Chen Pi to pour her a glass of water. Chen Pi was reluctant at first, but seeing that she looked serious and didn't seem to be joking, he went out to pour water with a glimmer of hope.
Chen Pi brought back the water. Xu Xingchen took the bowl, opened the small bottle in his hand and dropped a few drops, then put a four-leaf clover into the water. The four-leaf clover miraculously melted into the water and disappeared.
Chen Pi couldn't close his mouth when he saw this. Xu Xingchen handed him the bowl and said, "Give it to your mother to drink."
A hand reached out, and the hand that took the bowl was a little hesitant. Chen Pi's fingers were shaking as he held the bowl. Xu Xingchen clicked his tongue, took the bowl back, sat down beside the bed and fed Chen Pi's mother.
Chen Pi instinctively wanted to get angry, but when he thought that Xu Xingchen wanted to save his mother, he swallowed his unpleasant words and rubbed his hands nervously.
Drink a bowl of nutrient solution and clover water, and no matter what kind of poison it is, it will be eliminated immediately.
After drinking half a bowl of water, Chen Pi's mother's complexion really began to improve, but it became redder and redder, until Chen Pi's mother's complexion suddenly changed, she spat out a mouthful of blood, and lay motionless on the bed.
Chen Pi's eyes were bloodshot and he raised his fist to hit Xu Xingchen.
"You bitch! What did you do? If anything happens to my mother, I will never forgive you!"
Xu Xingchen was also stunned as he held the remaining half bowl of water. He didn't vomit blood when he drank nutrient solution to treat the embolism before.
Jun Haoyue kicked Chen Pi, and his calves softened and he fell to the ground. Jun Haoyue grabbed his shoulders with his hands like eagle claws, preventing him from standing up.
"Don't worry, this is to force the poison out of your mother's body. Once the poison is cleared, your mother will wake up."
Chen Pi's eyes were bloodshot and he was shaking his shoulders as if he was trying to break free, but his shoulders felt like they were being pressed down by a thousand pounds, and no matter how hard he struggled he couldn't move an inch and could only gasp for air.
Jun Haoyue held the person down with one hand and said to Xu Xingchen, "Xingchen, give Mother Chen some more water to help her throat get smoother, so that she won't get blocked by blood clots."
Xu Xingchen finally came back to his senses, said "oh" in a daze, and fed the remaining half bowl of water to Chen Pi's mother.
The bowl of water was completely clean, and Chen Pi's mother stopped vomiting blood. Three pairs of eyes stared at her. After a few breaths, Chen Pi's mother slowly opened her eyes.
The old woman was a little confused when she saw so many people around the bed. Her son was still kneeling on the ground. She said hoarsely: "Son, what are you doing kneeling on the ground..."
Chen Pi's tears flowed down. He knelt down beside the bed, grabbed one of Chen's mother's hands and placed it on his forehead, crying bitterly.
Xu Xingchen's eyes also turned red from the scene before him.
