Chapter 491: Snake gallbladder
He was clearly scared. The needle doesn’t hurt, so what’s he was afraid of?
Could it be that not only he was not afraid of blood, but also needles?
However, right now, she doesn’t have time to ask. She directly punctured the needles one by one to the acupuncture points on his shoulder and arm. After piercing the needles, Bai Zhi twisted the needle to force out the poison to his acupuncture points. Seeing the black blood flowing out, Bai Zhi was relieved. After studying this detoxification method by herself, she had never used it to anyone. This was the first time she had used it. She was nervous, in fear that she might fail.
After the poisonous blood flowed out, Bai Zhi pulled out the silver needle, then said to Duan Cheng: “Alright, you can open your eyes now.”
Duan Cheng’s forehead was covered with cold sweat. When he heard Bai Zhi’s voice, he slightly opened his eyes first. Sure enough, no silver needles were piercing him.
“Are you dizzy?” She asked.
Duan Cheng raised his hand and wiped his sweat: “Maybe. Somehow, I feel dizzy and nauseous when I see silver needles. I also fainted before. I improved a lot over the years, but I still feel uncomfortable to watch.”
Bai Zhi nodded her head but didn’t say anything. She got up and walked towards the white flower snake, then picked up its corpse that had fallen to the ground.
Duan Cheng asked: “What are you doing with that dead snake? It’s disgusting.”
Bai Zhi took out a plastic bag from her cloth bag. It was the plastic bag that was containing the disposable infusion tube before. She didn’t throw it away. She thought it might become handy.
After putting the snake in the plastic bag, she said to Duan Cheng: “The gallbladder of this white flower snake is good medicine. I want to use it to make medicine.”
Bai Zhi shook the plastic bag and smiled: “The snake meat is also good. I cooked a pot of snake soup before. It was so delicious. You want to eat my crafts, right? I’ll make one for you when we go back.”
Duan Cheng has never eaten a snake before. He can’t imagine how he will eat such a vicious and ugly thing. He doesn’t even want to think about it.
“I’d better not. You can keep it for yourself!” He said as he waved his hand again and again.
Bai Zhi stuffed the snake into the cloth bag. Then, she helped Duan Cheng to get up and picked the ginseng on the ground: “It seems you have won, this ginseng is good.”
Duan Cheng propped his chin and proudly said: “Of course, I’m good at finding medicine. If I didn’t hurry to look for you, I must have got something much better.”
Bai Zhi helped him on the way: “Yes, yes, you are great, okay?”
The two got out of the woods and took the carriage back to the military camp.

When they returned to medical camp, Duan Cheng told Doctor Shen everything that happened in the woods. Doctor Shen tremble with fear after hearing it.
“White flower snake? That snake is very poisonous!” Doctor Shen said in surprise.
Duan Cheng said: “That’s right. When I just got bitten, my head was dizzy. I didn’t know what was going on. Afterward, when I woke up, I saw Bai Zhi sucking out the poison in me. If it weren’t for him, I would have lost my life today.”
“It’s very dangerous to suck out the poisonous blood. How about Bai Zhi? Is he alright?” Doctor Shen asked urgently.
Duan Cheng waved his hand: “He’s okay. He’s opening the belly of the white flower snake in the small tent. He said he wanted to use the snake gallbladder to make medicine and cook a snake soup later. I find it disgusting, so I came here quickly.”
Doctor Shen breathed a sigh of relief. If he was alright, then it’s fine. Then, he looked at Duan Cheng and said with a smile: “The snake soup is a good thing. It’s alright if you don’t want to eat it. I can eat another bowl.”
Duan Cheng heroically waved his hand: “You can do whatever you want. I don’t want to eat it, it looks disgusting.”
