Chapter 11: Saving lives and healing the wounded to accumulate merit

For people who live in forest areas, everyone knows that there are many things in the mountains that can be exchanged for money.But equally, everyone knows that there are all kinds of dangers hidden in the mountains.If you are not careful, you may lose your life in the mountains.

But even though they know that running in the mountains is dangerous, for the sake of their family's livelihood and to increase their income, many people still flock to the mountains every year to look for things that can be exchanged for wealth.Perhaps because of this, people die every year in the forest area.

At this time of year, most people go into the mountains to dig wild ginseng.But this season is also when the venomous snakes in the mountains are most active.If you are bitten by a poisonous snake while picking or searching for ginseng, the consequences will be self-evident.

The locals call various snakes that live in the mountains 'Chang Chong' or 'Qian Chuan Zi'.When ginseng pickers are looking for ginseng, they will always prepare a stick, which is used to alert others.

But even so, countless people are still bitten by venomous snakes every year!

Looking at Lin Jiaxing who was slumped on the ground, Mu Shanhe, who was leading the dog, also said directly: "Uncle, what's wrong?"

"I was bitten by an insect! Are you from that village?"

"From Xinmintun! Uncle, can you see what kind of worm it is?"

Faced with Mu Shanhe's inquiry, Lin Jiaxing also said with a bitter look on his face: "It's Tuqiuzi! Little brother, can you go and call someone nearby to help?"

But to Lin Jiaxing's surprise, after listening to what he said, Mu Shanhe said directly: "Tuqiuzi? Uncle, I'm afraid there's no one around here. If you don't mind, you can let me take a look for you. ?"

"Do you know how to use snake medicine?"

"I don't know much about it! But I went into the mountains with my grandfather before, so I know a little bit about it."

"Who is your grandpa?"

"Mu Xingye!"

As soon as these words came out, Lin Jiaxing's expression was stunned for a moment, but he quickly said: "Are you the grandson of the chief shepherd?"

"Yes! Uncle, time is tight, let me help you deal with it first. If you don't deal with it, in your current situation, I'm afraid you won't be able to wait until you are sent to the hospital. I will clean your wound first, and I will find some herbs to help you later. How about putting it on?"

"Success, then I will trouble you."

At this point, Lin Jiaxing could not think of any other better way.At the very least, it would allow his family to know why he died.But deep down, he still had a glimmer of hope that he could escape this disaster.

Mu Shanhe took out the water bottle he carried from his backpack and filled it with some salt to melt it. Mu Shanhe cut the wound open with a knife and directly used the simple salt water to clean Lin Jiaxing's wound.

Although the process was very painful, Lin Jiaxing still gritted his teeth.After cleaning the wound, Mu Shanhe began to search nearby.In a short time, he collected several herbs that can cure snake venom.

He took out the wooden bowl in his backpack, crushed all the collected herbs, and then applied the herbs to the cleaned wounds.He also used the leggings that mountain runners often prepared to tie the wound tightly with the herbs.

After finishing all this, Mu Shanhe said directly: "Uncle, my level is limited, and I don't know whether these herbs will work. But in the early years, my father taught me to treat snake venom like this. You hold on tight first, and I'll put in a few Lei Zi greets the servants."

"Okay, no matter what, thank you, uncle. If I really can't survive it, it will be my life!"

If it were Mu Xingye, a well-known leader in the forest area, who treated him, Lin Jiaxing would not be worried at all.But the person treating him now is a half-grown boy who is said to be underage.

Although the other party's treatment methods seemed to be the same, Lin Jiaxing was still unsure!Mu Shanhe, who was also aware of this, did not hesitate too much. He took out three sky thunders from his backpack, found a relatively open position, and lit them directly.Putting three of them together means that the person who laid the thunder is in danger.

According to the rules of the forest area or mountain runners, once you hear three thunders, you must rush to rescue people.Not long after Mu Shanhe released three thunderbolts, a loud noise soon came from the mountains not far from where they were.

Hearing this sound, Mu Shanhe breathed a sigh of relief, ran back to Lin Jiaxing and said, "Uncle, there is someone nearby. They will probably come over in a while. Please bear with it a little longer. How do you feel now?"

"It's okay. Apart from being a little dizzy and feeling weak, I seem to be able to hold on."

"Then just hold on! It should be safe when we get to the bottom of the mountain."

In fact, Mu Shanhe knew very well that the snake venom was basically stopped after the other party applied the herbs he collected.I can't say that it can be cured, but at least it can ensure that the other party reaches the hospital safely.

These days, the best way to treat snake venom is to use serum.But many times, people who are bitten by venomous snakes in the mountains often die from the poison before they can be sent to the hospital.Because of this, people who know how to treat snake venom in the forest are often highly respected.

After waiting for a while, when he heard the sound coming from the distance, Mu Shanhe also said at the right time: "Daqing, go and bring people here."

Daqing, who was greeted, quickly ran away.After barking a few times, someone soon said: "There is a dog barking over there!"

The rescuers followed Daqing to where Lin Jiaxing was sitting paralyzed. A middle-aged man in the lead decisively sped up and said, "Old Lin, why is it you? What happened?"

"Old Chen, it's you! Oh, forget it, I was bitten by a local ball!"

The group of people he met were acquainted with Lin Jiaxing, and Mu Shanhe breathed a sigh of relief.For him, coming to seek treatment was also an act of devotion.But he had no intention of sending the other party directly to the hospital down the mountain.

Chen Dashan and others who came after hearing the news were undoubtedly shocked when they heard that Lin Jiaxing was bitten by a highly venomous snake.They often run in the mountains, how could they not know how toxic the earth balls are!
Fortunately, after a brief introduction, Chen Dashan said unexpectedly: "Little brother, thank you very much."

"Uncle Chen, it's okay. We are both from the mountains. We have met him. We can't just sit back and ignore him. It's just that I am not strong enough to carry Uncle Lin down the mountain, so I can only give him some medicine first.

I also learned this medicine from my grandfather in the early years, and it should be quite effective.However, for the sake of safety, you should run to Uncle Lin as soon as possible to carry him down the mountain to the hospital.If it takes too long, I'm afraid there will be trouble. "

"Sure, then you won't come down the mountain with us?"

"No, I'll just stay at the foot of the ridge to guard the ginseng. I really can't get away. And I can't help much if I go down the mountain."

He simply explained the situation and no one tried to persuade him.The leader, Chen Dashan, had someone chop down wooden sticks and use straps to make a simple stretcher. The group directly carried Lin Jiaxing, who was unable to walk, down the mountain.

When they passed by the ginseng garden, they discovered that there was a ginseng field here.Without staying too long, Chen Dashan and his party carried Lin Jiaxing and left quickly.Mu Shanhe, who returned to his residence, breathed a sigh of relief.

Thinking of the warning that appeared in his mind before, Mu Shanhe also smiled bitterly and said: "Am I going to become a firefighter in the future?"

But he knew that in order to truly activate the golden finger he got.In the future, when it comes to saving lives and healing the wounded in the mountains, he may really not be able to shirk it.After all, the inheritance he received is the true patron saint of this mountain!

Although I didn’t feel it, I received reward feedback after rescuing.But he was also not in a hurry, since the inheritance given by the Mountain God could not escape anyway.What he really wants to do now is to build the new residence as soon as possible.

After getting a new residence, he can slowly sort out the inheritance given by the Mountain God in the remaining time.After all, he had promised the Mountain God before that he would take good care of the mountain on his behalf and become the new patron saint of the mountain!
