Chapter 13 The little girl picking mushrooms

 After having enough wine and food, he successfully deceived Li Laiheng, Duke of Linguo. Huang Li was in a good mood and walked briskly on the way back to the village.

People in ancient times were so simple. They didn't even open their backpacks and take out some novel things to prove that they had indeed traveled overseas.

Huang Li reached out and touched his backpack, stopped, pointed to the mountain village that was already in sight, and said to the soldier who was sending him off: "It will be there soon, you don't need to send it off anymore, just go back now!"

There was still some hesitation on Xiao Bing's immature face, and he said: "But the young master has ordered me to send Mr. Huang back to the village."

Huang Li chuckled and said: "It's only such a short journey, and it's considered to be a cottage when you get here. Go back. If the young master asks, just say that I asked you to leave."

Xiao Bing blinked his eyes, but under Huang Li's firm refusal, he had no choice but to leave in three steps.

Completely relaxed now, Huang Li strode towards the village. The bamboo forests and grass on both sides of the mountain road were dotted with wild flowers. The fresh breath of nature was refreshing.

I still need to do some more homework to avoid others seeing through the real situation. This gentleman’s work is not reliable and will not last long.

Huang Li was thinking in his mind, and in a flash, a hare jumped out of the grass, glanced at Huang Li with its round red eyes, and then went back into the woods.

Hehe, I’ll catch you and have a barbecue tonight. Plus the wild things Li Yue gave me, Zhao Xiaochuan and Zhang Wudi can also have a fresh taste.

Huang Li became more playful and stepped into the forest, chasing the hopping hare.

But soon, the hare disappeared. Huang Li then realized his naivety and caught the hare with his bare hands. Do you think you are a strange hero, running faster than the wind?

Smiling to himself, Huang Li figured out the direction and was about to walk out of the forest. At this moment, he suddenly heard a scream not far away.

Huang Li heard the voice sounding like a child, so he hurriedly rushed into the woods and followed the sound. Turning left and right among the trees, he soon saw a small figure.

A little girl of seven or eight years old fell to the ground, clutching her calf and groaning in pain. The basket beside her was tilted, and there were mushrooms and wild vegetables in it.

Not far away, a snake was meandering, its triangular head particularly obvious.

Huang Li hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down and asked, "Did the poisonous snake bite you?"

The little girl endured the pain, raised her little face full of tears, looked at Huang Li, flattened her mouth and nodded.

"Let me see the wound." Huang Li pulled away the little girl's hand, rolled up his trouser legs, and frowned when he saw the wound on his calf.

"It's a poisonous snake, called a soldering iron." The girl cried, tears flowing out of her big eyes, "Am I going to die?"

Soldering tip is a common name for a type of viper. It is moderately toxic and mainly contains bleeding and anticoagulant toxins.

"No, I have medicine here, specially designed to treat snake venom." Huang Li forced out a smile, comforted the little girl, took off his backpack, opened it, and rummaged for the medicine.

To survive in the wild, a first aid kit is naturally indispensable. Although many people will personalize the first aid kit, disinfectants are a must.

Huang Li's first aid kit contains a commonly used antidote in the South - Ji Desheng snake medicine, which can detoxify snake venom and is considered the most symptomatic.

First, he quickly tied the upper part of the girl's calf tightly with his hands and feet, and then used a knife to cut a cross-shaped mouth at the bite mark of the snake. Huang Li squeezed the poisonous blood with both hands and washed the wound with water from the water hyacinth.

"Eat it and it will detoxify the snake venom." Huang Li took out the pills again, took off the water hyacinth on the little girl's back, and handed it to her mouth.

The little girl blinked her big eyes, opened her mouth obediently, drank the pills with water.

Huang Li used two tablets of medicine mixed with water and applied it to the wound bitten by the snake, which could better reduce swelling and relieve pain. Then he simply bandaged it with gauze and completed the entire treatment.

"Is this cured?" The little girl no longer shed tears, but was curious and confused, and asked Huang Li softly.

Huang Li nodded and said with a smile: "With timely treatment, everything should be fine."

The little girl took a deep breath, grinned and said, "Thank you, Mr. Huang."

"Do you recognize me?" Huang Li was not surprised. There were so many people in the village, and many of them had seen him, but he was very worried and did not get along with them enthusiastically.

The girl nodded vigorously and said: "I know you are very knowledgeable, even the young man calls you sir!"

Huang Li smiled and said: "Come on, I will carry you back. If you are bitten by a snake, you cannot move around, which will speed up the spread of the snake's venom."

The little girl probably didn’t know what diffusion meant, but it sounded scary anyway, so she climbed onto Huang Li’s back obediently.

"Hurry up!" Huang Li reminded, holding the backpack in one hand and the basket in the other, got up and walked out of the forest.

The little girl held Huang Li's neck with both hands and said nothing along the way. She was in a daze, and dizziness was one of the symptoms of snake venom.

Huang Li handed the thing to his left hand and held the girl's leg back with his right hand to prevent her from falling down due to lack of strength in her hand.

Fortunately, it was not far from the village, and Huang Li quickly entered the village. At this time, most people were working in the fields, so it seemed a bit empty.

Huang Li asked twice, and the little girl answered confusedly, but couldn't tell where she lived or what her last name was.

Huang Li had no choice but to return to his residence first, put the little girl on the bed, and let her rest first.

"This is the little girl from the Ying family." Zhao Xiaochuan helped Huang Li with his work. After looking carefully, he finally recognized her.

"Ying family?" Huang Li was stunned for a moment and asked doubtfully: "Are you and Miss Ying from the same family?"

"It's Miss Ying's little sister, her nickname is Wei'er." Zhao Xiaochuan said: "Their father is General Ying Zhao Ying in the army."

Even though the Thirteenth Family has a small army, there are a lot of officers, all of whom are high-ranking. Generals, generals, and generals are not uncommon.

Huang Li nodded, stretched out his hand to test the temperature of Weier's forehead, and then counted his pulse. He felt it was normal, so he turned around and went to the outhouse.

Sitting down at the table, Huang Li sorted out his backpack. He didn't need anything else for the time being, but he placed two red potatoes in front of him.

In later generations, this red-skinned potato was produced in Xingshan County and the two Tujia Autonomous Counties of Changyang and Wufeng. He originally asked for it from farmers during outdoor activities and planned to roast it and eat it.

Now, the value of these two potatoes is obviously many times higher than eating them. Moreover, spring and autumn potatoes can be grown in Xingshan County. If you plant autumn potatoes now, you can almost harvest them in November.

According to the ratio of seeds to harvest, if you plant two potatoes, you can harvest 20 potatoes. If you plant them in both spring and autumn next year, you will have 2,000 potatoes by the end of the year, which can be planted on a larger scale.

"No matter whether we can win this battle or not, we still have to do what needs to be done." Huang Li had already thought about it. Even if he leaves seeds for the people in Xingshan and spreads them, it will be a good thing that benefits all people.<
