Chapter 777 Lobelia
Hearing that she could still be saved, Dong Anna pleaded, “Doctor Qin, please save me. I’m really going to die. If you save me, I’ll do anything.”
At this time, the poison attacked her from top to bottom, and her entire calf had turned black.
Qin Haodong knew her situation very well. The reason why he was not in a hurry to save her was that he knew that she would not die for the time being.
In fact, it was very easy to save Dong Anna. There was a secret antidote pill in his Storage Ring.
However, the antidote pill was made from precious medicinal herbs in the Forbidden Area of Jiuli for 5,000 years. He was reluctant to part with it because it would put fine timber to petty use just to treat snake venom.
He stood up, walked to the hillside not far away, and reached out to pick a green plant.
There was a small flower on the plant’s green roots. This flower looked a little special, like a lotus that had lost half of its body.
With the camera in her hand, Kathaway first took a picture, and then asked curiously, “Qin, is this little flower the Chinese medicine you mentioned that can save people? I have never heard of a flower that can detoxify.”
Qin Haodong said, “Yes, this is a famous traditional Chinese medicine called Lobelia. It has the effect of reducing heat, detoxification, and swelling. It’s the best antidote. As the saying goes, with a Lobelia, you can sleep with a snake. It shows the magical detoxification effect of it.”
Kathaway nodded her head. Then, she took out her phone, turned on the camera function, and recorded the whole process of saving people.
Qin Haodong found a plastic bag, put the Lobelia’s branches and leaves into it, and then found a stone to grind them into mud. Then he took the medicine and smeared it where Dong Anna had been bitten by the snake.
It was amazing. After the medicine was used, the blackness on the calf was no longer spreading. On the contrary, it began to slowly fade away.
Seeing this scene, Kathaway shouted at the phone in her hand, “My G.o.d, guess what I saw? I encountered a magical medical skill in Huaxia. He actually used a little flower to cure a patient who was bitten by a venomous snake. It’s amazing!”
Sun Bowei observed Dong Anna’s injury. The blackness caused by the Krait had slowly dissipated. Dong Anna’s calf had regained its former color, leaving only the teeth marks made by the venomous snake.
Sun Fengqing said, “Using Lobelia is the best way to detoxify snake venom. After resting in bed for three days, you will be able to return to normal.”
Seeing that her life was saved, Dong Anna breathed a sigh of relief. Her charming eyes wandered back and forth, staring at Qin Haodong’s handsome face.
“Doctor Qin, thank you for saving me.”
“It’s nothing. I’m a doctor. It’s my duty to treat and save people. Besides, we’re teammates now. I should help you.”
Qin Haodong didn’t want this woman with excessive hormones to be attached to him, so he directly distanced himself from her.
However, Dong Anna did not want to give up such a rare opportunity. She put on a pitiful look and said coyly, “Doctor Qin, I’m injured now. Doctor Sun said that I have to rest for three days. You have the best physical strength in our team. Can you carry me?”
She secretly thought that as long as she could let Qin Haodong carry her on his back, she could find a way to pull him to bed.
Qin Haodong had to carry Su Hui. How could he carry this woman?
He said, “It doesn’t matter. I haven’t given you acupuncture yet. You’ll be fine after one or two minutes.”
As he spoke, he took out a needle bag, took out silver needles, and began to give Dong Anna acupuncture treatment.
His first needle pierced Dong Anna’s Baihui acupoint on top of her head, followed by her brain and Dazhui acupoints. His moves were very fast, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of silver needles had been put in Dong Anna’s body.
Although her calf was bitten by the venomous snake just now, after the blood circulation, some slight toxins had flowed throughout her whole body. Therefore, generally speaking, she needed to recuperate for three days and wait for all the toxins to be slowly removed by the Lobelia.
However, Qin Haodong didn’t have time to wait. He used the silver needles to remove the venom from the top of her head to the calf. Then, he removed the venom from the small holes bitten by the snake just now. The whole process took only two minutes.
Seeing two drops of black blood coming out of the holes, Qin Haodong squeezed her little calf until fresh blood was discharged. Then he withdrew the silver needles.
“Well, you’re fully recovered now. You can walk on your own.”
Seeing that she had failed to seduce him, Dong Anna could only glare at him with resentment and then stand up again.
Once again, Kathaway excitedly shouted at the phone in her hand, “My G.o.d, traditional Chinese medicine is really amazing! A patient who was bitten by a Krait just now actually stood up again in such a short time and fully recovered.”
Seeing that Dong Anna had been completely cured, Zhuo Bufan heaved a long sigh of relief. He no longer had to bear any responsibilities.
The middle-aged man yelled, “Well, we’ve wasted a lot of time! Let’s go, or it will be very troublesome in the dark!”
Although everyone was still tired, after experiencing the Krait just now, they finally realized that this was not only a beautiful place, but it was also dangerous. They immediately forced themselves to cheer up and continued to walk forward with the guide.
Dong Anna followed the team closely. Just now, Qin Haodong used Green Wood Genuine Qi to run through her body. Although it was only for a short time, it still nourished her meridians. Not only did her body not feel weak after being hurt, but she was more energetic than before.
After observing her condition, Sun Fengqing went up to Qin Haodong and said to him with emotion, “Little Qin, someone called you Medical Sage. I wasn’t convinced before. I thought you were just lucky enough to find the prescription of the Blood Revival Elixir and didn’t have any real talent at all.
“But after seeing your medical skills today, I realize that I was a frog at the bottom of the well. I was wrong. With your medical skills, I’m not as good as you!”
Qin Haodong had always been a person of grat.i.tude and revenge. If someone was domineering toward him, he would fight back. Similarly, if others were modest, he would never be proud.
After hearing Sun Fengqing’s words, he said, “You flatter me, senior. You’re the best fighter in the field of traditional Chinese medicine. My medical skills can’t be compared with yours.”
Sun Fengqing shook his head. “I’ve always been upright. I have no habit of flattery. My words come from the bottom of my heart.
“To tell you the truth, I just wanted to test you, but I didn’t expect you to perform so well. With this girl’s injury, even if I did it myself, I couldn’t have gotten that result. She would’ve had to at least rest for half a day.
“But in this case, it can be imagined how serious the consequences would be if she couldn’t walk in time, so your medical skills are much better than mine.”
Through this period of time, Sun Bowei was no longer as cold as before. He said to Qin Haodong with shame, “Doctor Qin, I offended you before. I’m now convinced of your medical skills.”
He had lost his temper when he was in the clinic yesterday, and now even his grandfather admired Qin Haodong’s medical skills. Of course, he had nothing to say. He had completely lost his desire for Su Hui.
Then they talked about traditional Chinese medicine as they walked forward. Sun Fengqing deserved to be the descendant of Sun Simiao, the King of Medicine. He had his own unique opinions on many diseases, which gave Qin Haodong a new understanding of him.
The more they talked, the more surprised Sun Fengqing became. Qin Haodong’s comprehension of traditional Chinese medicine was far beyond his imagination. He really didn’t know how this young man learned it.
Before the darkness swallowed up the entire mountain area, they finally reached their final destination, the government office of w.a.n.gshan Village.
This was the so-called government office. In fact, there were only seven or eight rooms, all made of big stones in the mountain. Although it looked simple and crude, it was very solid.
There was a large, flat open s.p.a.ce in front of the house, about 200 square meters. At this time, two huge tents had been set up in the open s.p.a.ce. Each tent could accommodate 10 to 20 people, which seemed to be prepared for them.
It was surrounded by mountains on all sides. Everything was primitive and there was no modern atmosphere. Fortunately, there was electricity. There was already a 200-watt electric light bulb hanging in front of the gate. It looked quite bright.
When they arrived, Li Laogen, the village elder of w.a.n.gshan Village, immediately came out to welcome them. He asked them to put down their luggage, and they began to have dinner.
The dinner that was prepared didn’t look very sumptuous, but it tasted good. It consisted of all wild animals and wild vegetables from the mountains. These things were very rare in the city. In addition, everyone was really tired and hungry, so they ate with relish.
As everyone was eating, Li Laogen began to introduce the situation here to them.
It turned out that there were eight main rooms in the government office, but now it was used as the isolation room for those infected people by the Department of Sanity. In order to prevent this kind of virus from spreading, no one was allowed to get close to it, let alone live in it.
Therefore, they could only set up two large tents in the yard as a temporary station.
After the introduction, he said apologetically, “Great experts, the conditions in the mountain are simple and crude. I’m really sorry.”
Qin Haodong didn’t care about that. When he was cultivating in the mountains, the conditions were much simpler than here.
However, some people were not used to it. Dong Anna frowned and said, “Can I take a shower here?”
Li Laogen said, “People here rarely take a shower. When they do, they have to go to the river one kilometer away.”
After hearing what he said, the people who wanted to take a shower gave up this idea. Not to mention that it was night, even if they dared to go, after returning from the one-kilometer mountain road, they would be covered in stinky sweat, which was no different from not was.h.i.+ng.
It seemed that they could only endure it for the next few days. They hoped to solve the virus here as soon as possible and then return to the capital.
After the meal, Qin Haodong said to Li Laogen, “Mr. Li, can we go and see the patients?”
Zhuo Bufan said, “Doctor Qin, it’s too late now. Even if we could see the patients, we can’t do anything. Let’s do it tomorrow.”
Qin Haodong said, “I think it’s better to have a look as soon as possible. Everyone can get to know what’s going on.”
Zhuo Bufan’s face immediately darkened. He wasn’t on Qin Haodong’s plane now. He was the group leader. This guy didn’t care about his opinion at all.
Li Laogen looked simple and honest, but he was actually very shrewd. Seeing that the two people had different opinions, he immediately said, “It’s too late. It’s not very convenient to go in to see the patients. You can take a look outside the window. You don’t have to waste too much time.”
Zhuo Bufan didn’t say anything else when he thought that he wouldn’t be able to do anything even if he took a look outside.
Li Laogen said, “Please come with me.”
After that, he took everyone to the isolation room in the government office.
In order to completely isolate this place from the outside world, the county government had arranged two villagers to guard here. Except for the members of the expert team and the village elder, no one was allowed to enter.
Li Laogen greeted the villagers and then took Qin Haodong and the others to the isolation room.
They first went to the easternmost isolation room, which was lit with a 25-watt light bulb, and the light was a little dim.
