Yoshida Mii

Chapter 19

"Snake legs? Sister Dong Bao, snakes can grow legs?" Quan Zi was stunned for a moment, and looked at Dong Bao together with Lin Shi.

Dong Bao shook his head with a smile, two lovely dimples appeared on his face, "It's not snake legs, it's snake sloughs, the skin that the snake sheds can be used as medicinal materials, and if they are sold in pharmacies, someone must buy them." Snake slough is a good thing, it can cure many diseases, reduce fire and improve eyesight, reduce inflammation and relieve pain, and it can also play a role in health care when used to make wine, and it can strengthen the body. Besides, such a long snake slough is more than one meter long, so it must be valuable.

Quanzi looked at the long white snake skin on the wooden stick, his eyes were filled with joy and disbelief, and he murmured, "Can you really sell it for money?"

"Yes, yes." Dong Bao nodded quickly, and in order to increase the credibility of his words, he added: "When I was in the city, I passed those pharmacies and saw someone accepting this."

Lin Shi picked the snake slough into the pigweed basket behind Dongbao, covered it with pigweed to cover it, and said, "The city is far away from us, and there is a medicine shop in the town. Dongbao, follow your aunt to see uncle's condition." It's time, let's go to the pharmacy and sell it."

Dong Bao remembered that Mrs. Li would visit his elder brother in the town every two months, so he nodded and said, "Okay, if the money is sold, the three of us will split it equally."

"No need." Lin Shi waved his hands and smiled, "If it weren't for you, we wouldn't know that this long worm skin could be sold for money, so we would have thrown it away a long time ago. You deserve the money."

Quanzi also hurriedly said, "That's right, if it wasn't for Sister Dongbao, I would have torn up the long worm skin and threw it away. We won't take the money after selling it!"

Dong Bao knew that the two brothers of the Lin family were looking at their hardships and trying to help her. Right now she was really in trouble, and the family was still carrying the money owed for the funeral of Xiucai's father, so Dong Bao stopped being polite and nodded. He smiled and said, "Okay, after the money is sold, I will buy candy and we will share it."

On the way back, Dong Bao was afraid that the Song family would find the snake slough, so he put down the basket, pressed the snake slough to the bottom, covered it with pigweed, and tried to hide the snake slough secretly in the east room when he got home.

It was getting late, and it was too late to bake eggs. The three of them walked towards the village, discussing that after dinner, Aunt Quanzi Yang Qiuxia cooked wild eggs, and called Dongbao to come over to eat boiled wild eggs.

Dong Bao naturally had no objection.

As soon as the three of them reached the entrance of the village, they saw a lot of people surrounded by the big elm tree at the entrance of the village, and the shrill howls of women came from the crowd.Three people hurriedly squeezed in to have a look. In the middle of the crowd, two women, one in their forties and the other in their twenties, were holding a boy in their arms and crying to death, with tears and snot all over their faces.

The surrounding villagers sighed and sighed, "Oh, it's too late to invite a doctor at this meeting. It takes two hours to make a round trip from the town. When the doctor comes, I'm afraid it will be too late..."

"Good baby, why can't it work?"

"Go home and get ready for business, buy a good coffin, and let the baby have a good pregnancy in the next life."

Hearing the discussion among the crowd, the young woman with her arms around the boy cried even more heartbreakingly, "Embolism, my embolism!" She patted the boy's shoulders and arms desperately, as if this could wake up the pain in her arms. comatose son.

Dong Bao took a closer look at the comatose boy, his lips and face were all bruised, lying there unconscious, after watching for a long time, she finally recognized that this boy was the one who laughed at her the day she just came home a few days ago It is Hong Shuanzi of the "Tigress".

The same-age partner who was bragging with him yesterday about how many wild eggs he had picked up, was lying there today, exhaling more air and taking in less air. Quanzi felt panicked in his heart, held his elder brother's hand tightly, and whispered: "Isn't that Embolus? What's the matter with him?"

Dashi asked the person next to him, "Uncle Liu, what's going on? What's wrong with Shuanzi?"

Old man Liu stroked his gray goatee, shook his head and sighed, "I heard from the boy who came back with Shuanzi that some children went down to play in the ditch, and Shuanzi picked up a fruit..." After saying this, Uncle Liu lowered his voice, "It's evil to say it. There are so many wild animals in the ditch. It's been a whole winter. How can I still pick up the fruit? Pian Shuanzi picked it up. The little boy was greedy and ate it. As a result, he just left. At the entrance of the village, I fell down. The fruit must be poisonous and not edible. Oh, the poor Hong family has only such a male grandson..."

Eating indiscriminately led to poisoning, Dong Bao looked at the naughty boy who used to be dying at this meeting, and didn't know what to say.Children don't know how to tell which things are poisonous and which are edible. In the twelfth lunar month, there is nothing new to eat, and new fruits have not yet come out. They eat a fruit for a while and lose their lives.

Just look at the embolus with a bruised face, and occasional fluttering of the nose, which seems to be extremely uncomfortable. The master is still alive, and the time for eating the poisonous fruit is not long. If he induces vomiting and gastric lavage, maybe he can be saved.

"Auntie, Shuanzi is still alive!" Dong Bao said to the woman who was holding Hong Shuanzi and crying as if the sky was about to fall.

However, the two women didn't pay any attention to her, the little girl who got out of nowhere, and just kept crying with their arms around Shuanzi. The shrill cry resounded over the entire Tagouji, which was heart-wrenching.

At this meeting, several men also ran over in a panic, broke through the crowd and rushed in. Seeing Shuan Zi's dying appearance, all of them had red eyes. Among them was a strong man in his twenties. , Kneeling down on the ground with his legs limp, he clenched his fists and beat the ground, weeping bitterly, "Son... my son!"

What time is this, my son is dying, and the whole family is still crying!Dong Bao was really annoyed, "He is still alive, why don't you think of a way to rescue him?" How could he watch the child die in his arms, he had to find a way to do something, maybe it could save the child's life.

"Dongbao, do you know how to save people?" Lin Shi hurriedly asked with his head moving.

Dong Bao was also startled immediately, how could a little girl know so much, she quickly said: "I saw others eating indiscriminately in the drugstore in the city, and they were unconscious, their faces were blue, and the doctor rescued them."

"Then will you save?" Lin Shi grabbed Dong Bao and asked in a low voice. He felt sorry for Shuan Zi's family. He often heard his grandfather say that saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, but Dong Bao is still young. However, if they can't be rescued and Shuanzi's family hates Dongbao, they will be in big trouble.

Dong Bao hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Let's try it." Let Shuan Zi spit out the fruit he ate, and then wash his stomach, maybe he can save his life.Although she is not a good person who is so kind-hearted, she can't just watch a child die in front of her.

Da Shi took a look at Dong Bao, knelt down and said to Shuan Zi's mother who was holding Shuan Zi: "Auntie, tell me to see Shuan Zi." The hardworking and handsome young man everyone loves, Shuan Zi's mother saw Lin Shi reaching out to hug Shuan Zi, but subconsciously did not resist, crying and letting Lin Shi take Shuan Zi.

Dong Bao squatted next to Lin Shi, opened Shuan Zi's mouth with great effort, heart sank, stretched out his fingers and pressed Shuan Zi's throat, but Shuan Zi just lifted his head feebly, retched a few times, Nothing came out.

"It's useless." A middle-aged man in the crowd folded his hands, looked at Dong Bao and Lin Shi, shook his head and sighed, "I've tried it a long time ago, but I can't spit it out. What can I do? I can only resign myself to fate, and I will take it if I am lucky." It's gone." But looking at Shuanzi's current appearance, I'm afraid it will be difficult to carry it.

Dong Bao didn't recognize this man, there were hundreds of families in Tagou, she was shy and cowardly since she was a child, she felt inferior to herself under the title of "Tiger Girl", she rarely went out, and didn't know many people, she heard that this man was idle and cool If it is, it seems that he has already induced vomiting by pressing the throat, but it is useless.

This shouldn’t be a big deal in modern times. People who induce vomiting and gastric lavage are basically not a big problem. Dongbao remembers that when he was a child, he went to school in the countryside, and children often swallowed pesticides by mistake. The people in the village health center even specially explained the first aid methods. .If you can't spit it out, it means that the stuff in the stomach is too thick, then you have to find a way to wash the stomach, and warm saline is a good gastric wash.

"Give him water, give him salt water, as long as there is something in his stomach, he can spit it out!" Dong Bao said hastily.The people around didn't move, or they ignored Dong Bao's words at all. A group of adults were helpless, and a little girl knew nothing and was just bluffing.

Dong Bao was in a hurry, "This is a human life! Really, pouring salt water can really make him spit out, if it's too late, it can't be saved!"

Lin Shi hugged Shuanzi anxiously. He was skeptical of Dong Bao's words at first, not because he thought Dong Bao was lying, but because a child of this age didn't have enough experience, maybe it was just at the entrance of the medical hall After seeing it once or twice, I thought it was a good prescription for curing diseases and saving lives.However, what Dong Bao said was full of confidence, and it didn't seem like he said it casually. Lin Shi put Shuanzi lying on the ground, and wanted to go home to fetch water, when he heard a child next to him pointing at Dong Bao and yelling loudly.

"It's you! You said that you were going to kill Shuanzi! I heard you say, now Shuanzi is really killed by you!" The little boy, who was only six or seven years old, looked at Dongbao and was so scared Weeping, she threw herself into the arms of a woman next to her, "Mother, the tigress has killed someone again!" He also followed Shuanzi and called the girl tigress, could he be the next one to be killed?

The always good-tempered Lin Shi couldn't hide his anger. He stood up abruptly, frowned and shouted, "What nonsense!"

Shuan Ziniang, who was squatting on the ground and weeping bitterly, came back to her senses at this meeting, and remembered that this girl was the famous "White Tiger Spirit" in the village. , It was all because of this white tiger spirit, and for a moment the resentment in his heart rose like a monstrous wave, and with red eyes, he pushed down Dongbao who was squatting in front of Shuanzi, crying and cursing like crazy: "You give me Get off, get off! The white tiger spirit, devoid of conscience, is not enough to kill his own father, but also to kill my poor Shuan Zi!"
