Chapter 3 Treating Venom 2

From the time Chen Xu came to the river to the time he completed the treatment, it took less than two minutes. The dazzled eyes made the children not come back to their senses.

A few adults rushed over from a distance, including men and women, but when they ran to the river, Chen Xu had already stood up with Chen Jiangshi on his back and staggered to walk home.

"Xu Wazi, is your mother okay?" a middle-aged man in his forties asked anxiously.

"I sucked her snake venom and also applied a detoxification herb. Because I don't know what snake bites her, I still need to observe the situation. Thank you uncle, I'll go back first!"

"You kid, why are you polite to uncle?" The middle-aged man quickly held Chen Xu's arm, and another woman was also holding Chen Jiang's side. Then the boy and a few children just now took Chen Jiang's baskets that Chen Jiang fell by the river and fishing tools, and a group of people followed Chen Xu home in a mighty manner.

The little girl really listened to Chen Xu's words. She was standing alone at the door of the yard, looking anxiously, watching Chen Xu come back with her mother on her back and run up excitedly, and tears fell down.

Chen Xu carried Chen Jiang into the room and put it on the bed, and then asked the woman who came back with her to help her change her clothes.

"Mom~ Mom~ wake up, wake up~" The little girl cried out from the room.

Chen Xu walked to the yard and patted the boy's shoulder just now and said, "Thank you for coming back and calling me, otherwise my mother wouldn't be able to save her!"

The boy quickly waved his hand and said, "Your mother is still unconscious. Do you want to go to the market town to invite a witch doctor to come and have a look?"

"Is the market town far away from here?" Chen Xu asked.

juvenile:……

Chen Xu woke up and smiled dryly and said, "I fell from a tree a few days ago and broke my head. I suddenly couldn't remember many things. By the way, what's your name?"

juvenile:……

"My name is Niu Dashi, and I live next to your house. The town is not far from our village, only more than twenty miles away. Unfortunately, the only horse in our village, Uncle Ma's family, was requisitioned by the army last year, otherwise it would take less than an hour to go back and forth." Although the young man was surprised, he still answered Chen Xu's question carefully.

Chen Xu's heart suddenly became cold after hearing this. Not to mention that he had no money to hire a witch doctor, even if he had money, he would probably run to the town with his legs and then run back. In the current traffic situation where the road is not smooth, it would probably take at least four or five hours. Although Chen Jiang's situation is still stable at present, who knows how powerful snake venom is?

So he said to the young man: "It must be too late to hire a witch doctor in the town. Let's do this. Follow me to help me find several herbs. You must drive away the snake venom on my mother as soon as possible!"

"You...you can still cure snake venom?" The boy was even more surprised, and the adults and children who followed him also looked at him with wide eyes.

"There must be an antidote where there are poisonous snakes! What's more, there are some of the most common herbs, let's go!" Chen Xu didn't have time to explain this to a group of semi-primitive people and little kids thousands of years ago, let alone the explanation is not clear.

The boy followed excitedly, and a few younger children also rushed to the back.

This was the Qin Dynasty more than two thousand years ago, and all the scenery and environment were different from those in later generations.

The sky is blue and clear, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the sky and the earth are spotless and dusty, just like the most beautiful landscape painting.

More than a dozen thatched huts are scattered within a few hundred meters at the foot of the mountain. A small river flows through the village. Birds chirp in the sky and the woods. Frogs and insects keep coming from the grass. The sky is high and the earth is vast and everything grows, and the mountains and fields are quiet and natural.

In this era of vast land and sparsely populated areas, human footprints seem very weak compared to nature.

At least this is how Chen Xu felt when he was looking for herbs.

Except for the two paths that he often walks, the entire village is covered with thorns, wild grasses and trees, and is surrounded by crazy growth of thorns, wild grasses and trees. However, it is precisely for this reason that he needed to find several commonly used detoxification medicinal materials.

"This is called Half Lotus, also known as Snake Tongue, which has a good effect on snake venom!" Chen Xu said that he was uprooting a thin-stem willow leaf with white flowers from the edge of the ditch.

"This is called Panlongcao, also known as Zunshan Dog and Cao Panax notoginseng, promote blood circulation and swelling, clear heat and detoxify!" Chen Xu pulled out a cluster of green plants with fine white chrysanthemums from a sunny soil slope at the foot of the mountain.

"This is called Ghost Needle Grass, which is also a good medicinal material for treating poisonous sores and snake venom."

"This is called White Flower Snake Tongue, which is similar to Half-Biancao!"

While walking, Chen Xu also briefly explained the effects of the herbs found to the teenagers and a few children while searching for herbs.

When Chen Xu returned home with a bundle of various wild grasses and wild flowers, the boy following behind and a few children looked at him with completely turning into worship. Especially this boy, he seemed to have discovered a new world. The two of them mingled in the village almost all day long, but they never found that Chen Xu also knew herbs and cured diseases.

Isn’t it only the witch doctors in the market town who can cure diseases?

Moreover, the witch doctor's treatment seems to be full of mystery to the villagers. This kind of high-end profession is definitely not something that ordinary people can play.

Chen Xu sorted out the collected herbs, chose some of them in a wooden bowl and mashed them into a paste, then replaced the herbs at Chen Jiang's wound and re-banded them with a slightly clean cloth strip. The rest were also mashed and put them in a small clay pot with water and boiled over fire for half an hour, then poured out the water and fed Chen Jiang's drink a bowl.

Almost an hour later, Chen Jiang, who had been in a semi-coma, slowly opened his eyes, and his gray face seemed to have returned to normal.

"Brother, I'm awake!" the little girl shouted excitedly.
