191 Divine Medicine
After Su Yuniang returned to the Su family, she found Su Xiaoxiao and told her what she had found out from the Su family.
“The jade pendant belongs to your father. Your father was alone at that time and didn’t have any other relatives. A piece of your father’s jade pendant accidentally fell and was picked up by my grandfather and great-grandfather. As for how your father obtained the two jade pendants, my grandfather said that it was very chaotic in the middle of the year and there were dead people everywhere. Perhaps your father took it from some dead person.”
Countless people died in the disaster year. Some starved to death, and some died of illness. Some poor people could not live anymore and occupied mountains as bandits, robbing rich families who pa.s.sed by. This situation was not rare.
Not all the bones on the road belonged to the poor, and many rich families had been killed.
!!
It was indeed possible that Su Cheng had taken it off a corpse.
“If your father picked up the two jade pendants from elsewhere and my great-grandfather picked them up, then…”
Su Xiaoxiao finished her sentence for her. “Even if your great-grandfather did something wrong, it’s not my father’s after all. I can pick it up even if you picked it up earlier. Besides, your great-grandfather sold it after picking it up and helped a village of refugees. It’s much better than my father not taking it out. Thinking about it this way, the villagers will still stand on the Su family’s side.”
Su Yuniang sighed and nodded regretfully.
She thought that she could expose the Su family’s hypocrisy this time, but who knew that she still missed?
Su Xiaoxiao was deep in thought. She felt that Old Su was hiding something.
The two of them were talking in the central room when the three little ones came over.
Dahu raised his hand and pointed outside the door. “Mother, Grandpa is back.”
Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “Okay, I understand.”
The three of them blinked at her.
Su Xiaoxiao asked strangely, “Something happened?”
The three of them nodded.
Su Xiaoxiao’s first reaction was that her father was in trouble. She grabbed her knife and rushed out…
Just as she reached the door, she saw her father jump down from a big carriage valiantly.
Su Xiaoxiao went forward and said, “Dad, are you alright?”
Su Cheng said, “I’m fine! Where are you planning to go with the knife?”
“I thought something had happened to you. I was going to look for you,” Su Xiaoxiao said and looked at the big carriage behind him. This carriage looked inconspicuous, but it was much better than the one she had hired at the car dealership.
“Dad, where did this carriage come from?”
Su Cheng said without changing his expression, “I picked it up!”
Su Xiaoxiao looked at him skeptically. “Are you sure?”
Su Cheng cleared his throat. “Of course I…”
“Who’s there!”
Su Xiaoxiao heard the breathing in the car and raised her knife warily to lift the curtain.
A dying man was lying on the bench in the carriage.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at her father.
Father Su grinned. “Pick one up and get one free!”
Su Xiaoxiao was speechless.
In the carriage, Su Yuan’s situation was very bad.
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t understand why her father liked to pick up people to bring home.
What’s more, he picked up all the patients!
What? Was he good-looking?
Needless to say, he was really good-looking.
He was a few years older than his father and had clear eyebrows. He looked elegant and calm as if he had mellowed over time. The style of the high-grade clothes was very simple. The bones of his fingers were slender and well-defined. Even though his consciousness was blurry, one could feel a n.o.ble aura from him.
Su Xiaoxiao vaguely felt that this person was a little familiar.
Life was more important.
She took his pulse and checked his breathing.
It was caused by an allergic reaction. His throat had edema and breathing was difficult, and he had almost fallen into shock. He had to be moved away from the allergen immediately.
Su Xiaoxiao moved him out of the carriage.
“Let me do it, let me do it!”
Father Su took the patient and moved him to the central room.
Su Xiaoxiao dragged two stools and combined them. Seeing this, Su Yuniang came over to help.
“Open all the doors and take off his coat!”
After Su Xiaoxiao finished instructing, she entered the east room to find her first aid kit.
Last time, she took a lot of medicine from the pharmacy, but unfortunately, there was no treatment for acute allergies…
She rummaged through the first aid kit, but none of them were right.
She could also draft a prescription for Chinese medicine to resist sensitivity, but his situation was too critical. There was no time to go to town to get the medicine.
Suddenly, a black bottle fell out.
It was the third-rate product, the Bezoar Detox Pill, that she had put aside.
Because it was too useless, she did not have the chance to use it at all. She had almost forgotten that there was such a bottle of medicine.
She did not have any other medicine that was more suitable for the illness. Although resisting sensitivity and clearing heat and detoxifying poison were completely different, she would try her best at this juncture. In any case, there were no side effects after eating the Bezoar Detox Pill.
...
She poured out three pills and mixed them with half a bowl of warm water.
This medicine actually melted after entering the water. It was yellow and orange.
She walked out with the medicine.
Su Yuniang grabbed her wrist. “What are you holding?”
“Medicine.”
“Are you sure?” Su Yuniang said. “I saw you hesitate for a long time at the bottle just now.”
This little rich woman was too observant.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “It’s indeed medicine, but no one has drunk it. I don’t know what effect it has.”
Su Yuniang gasped. “How dare you let someone drink it when you don’t know! What if he dies from drinking it? It’s obvious that this person’s background is not simple. If he dies on his own, it’s none of your business. If you kill him with the medicine, it’ll be your responsibility!”
Su Xiaoxiao understood that Su Yuniang was doing this for her own good. “But if we ignore him, he will really die.”
An allergic reaction was a small illness. With his severe allergic reaction, there was throat edema and respiratory obstruction. His life was in danger.
...
Su Yuniang said seriously, “It’s better for him to die himself than for you to kill him!”
Su Yuniang, was not a kind person. She was selfish. She did not care about the lives of others. She only wanted the people she cared about to be fine!
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “Don’t worry, this isn’t poison. At most, it can’t cure his condition.”
Su Yuniang said, “Didn’t you say that he would die if he couldn’t be treated? As long as he consumed what you gave him before he died, the responsibility could be pushed to you!”
Su Xiaoxiao looked into her eyes. “Yuniang, believe in me this once.”
Su Yuniang looked at her in a daze and frowned. In the end, she let go.
Su Yuan did not go into complete shock. He still had a trace of consciousness. It was this trace of consciousness that allowed him to retain some ability to swallow.
Su Xiaoxiao supported him and fed him half a bowl of orange medicine.
Su Yuniang’s heart was in her throat.
A few breaths later, a miracle happened.
Su Yuan’s breathing seemed to have cleared instantly, and he caught his breath.
The dark color between his eyebrows and lips faded, and his expression returned to normal.
Su Xiaoxiao stuck the disposable tongue-pressing board into his mouth and looked at his throat.
The laryngeal edema was also disappearing.
Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows. “Oh, it’s really effective.”
She finally realized that the more inconspicuous the medicine, the more advanced the black technology!
Who would have thought that a small bottle of Bezoar Detox Pills could treat a serious allergy?
Su Yuan completely recovered 15 minutes later.
The first thing he saw was three round heads.
The three little ones blinked at him.
He was slightly stunned.
“My stool,” Dahu said, pointing under him.
After Dahu returned from the prefecture city, he was more articulate.
“My pillow,” Erhu said, pointing under his head.
Xiaohu scratched his head. “My, my, my house!”
Su Yuan was stunned by the triplets’ actions.
Wait, weren’t they the triplets he had seen in the nunnery?
Su Xiaoxiao walked over with a dustpan of peeled peanuts.
“Mother!”
The three little ones decisively gave up on observing the patient for a long time and pounced at Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Yuan’s gaze followed the three little ones and saw the little fat girl he had met once in the nunnery.
“It’s you?”
He exclaimed in surprise.
Perhaps because of the edema in his throat, his voice was a little hoa.r.s.e.
“Oh?” Su Xiaoxiao tilted her head and sized him up.
Soon, she recognized him.
It was the devotee who had visited Mistress Hui Jue. His name seemed to be Su Yuan.
She knew it. He did look a little familiar as if she had seen him somewhere before.
“Miss Su?” Su Yuan called her tentatively.
Grandmaster Hui Jue introduced Su Ji to business. She said that it was a pair of siblings with the surname Su. The sister was chubby, round, and cute, and the brother was a little dark.
He was surprised to see her here.
“Master…” Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment.” Su? ”
There was nothing wrong with calling him that, right?
Su Yuan smiled, tacitly agreeing with this form of address.
Su Xiaoxiao felt that this man had a different kind of affinity when he smiled, making her want to get close to him.
But that was strange, wasn’t it?
She was not someone who liked to be close to others.
Su Yuan looked at Su Xiaoxiao, then at the three little ones hugging her thigh. Countless doubts flashed across his mind.
“This is my house,” Su Xiaoxiao said. “They’re my sons, Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu.”
Su Yuan was stunned.
“Master! Master!”
The coachman scrambled in. “Why are you in the village? I went to the river to get water for you, but when I came back, the carriage was gone! I was scared out of my soul!”
At the mention of this, Su Yuan was also puzzled. He clearly had an accident on the official road. Why was he lying at Miss Su’s house the moment he woke up?
He asked, “Miss Su, were you the one who saved me?”
Su Xiaoxiao was about to speak when Su Cheng swaggered in with the butcher knife.
“Daughter! I did a big job today! Remember to cook meat tonight! Eh? Where’s the person I dragged back?”
Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t stand it anymore. The little vest that she had painstakingly mended for him was torn apart by him.
Su Cheng looked at Su Yuan, who had already sat up. Su Yuan also looked at the roguish Su Cheng.
Su Yuan was stunned.
