192 Healing

“Qin Qingfei, when do you think Qingyuan was bitten by a snake?”

Mo Ruyue turned around and asked the dumbfounded Qin Qingfei.

“It’s just that… Right before, big brother wanted to go to the corner to hunt for rabbits, he was bitten by a snake.”

It was rare for Qin Qingfei to remember the words that they had agreed on before. Although she stammered, at least she didn’t say it wrong.

!!

“Say it again? If he had been bitten a long time ago, Qingyuan would have been gone. If you don’t tell me the truth, I can’t save him.”

When Mo Ruyue heard this, she realized that this girl was still thinking about their little scheme. Even if it was a matter of life and death, she couldn’t let it go. How could she let them succeed?

Her face darkened and her voice turned cold.

“No, my brother was bitten when he went up the mountain. He was fine before, but he suddenly became like this.”

Qin Qingfei’s stutter was cured by the shock, and she blurted out the words.

“Then find someone who can treat it. I’ve never seen a snake like this before, and I don’t know how to treat it.”

Mo Ruyue was too lazy to argue with a little girl. Anyway, her own family didn’t care about Qin Qingyuan’s life. She, who didn’t have the same surname, didn’t want to join in the fun.

“Auntie, don’t go! What will happen to my brother if you leave!”

Qin Qingfei was startled by Mo Ruyue’s action of turning around and walking away. She subconsciously reached out to pull Mo Ruyue’s sleeve, but was frightened by Mo Ruyue’s disdainful gaze.

She had seen that cold and sharp gaze before, but at that time, the aunt was looking at her grandmother and her father. But now, when those eyes looked at her, she knew what it felt like to be stared at by a beast.

No wonder when her grandma talked to her mother about her aunty, she always liked to say that her eyes were fiercer than leopards and tigers in the mountains. Now she finally understood.

“You don’t even care about your brother’s life, how can I save him? If the snake had bitten him earlier, he would have been dead! If you still don’t tell the truth, then you should find someone who can treat him as soon as possible, so that you don’t delay your brother’s treatment.”

Mo Ruyue looked at Qin Qingyuan’s condition. If she didn’t quickly detoxify the poison, even a great overarching golden immortal wouldn’t be able to save him.

Madam Née Wang seemed to have suddenly come to life. She stumbled into the door and bumped into Mo Ruyue. She grabbed her hand tightly and glared at her with bloodshot eyes.

“Sister-in-law, it was just now, just now when Qingyuan was returning home, he was bitten by a poisonous snake. Please save him, please save him! My son!”

Wang Shi finally spoke the truth. Between her son’s life and her family’s plans, she chose the former.

“He was just bitten? But Madam Wang knelt in front of the Qin family’s first branch a long time ago. Could it be that she went to cry in advance?”

One of the villagers said straightforwardly, but he had spoken out everyone’s inner thoughts.

Madam Wang was flustered and didn’t listen to the villagers’ discussion at all. However, Qin Qingfei heard it clearly and her palms were sweating.

Were they going to be exposed? If that were the case, wouldn’t her brother be bitten by the snake for nothing? Would the aunt sympathize with them and reduce their penalty?

Her heart was in a mess, like a ball of yarn being scratched by a cat, and she couldn’t figure it out no matter how hard she tried.

If only her brother was awake now, he would have a plan in mind on how to deal with this situation.

Mo Ruyue saw that Madam Wang had confessed the truth, so she didn’t delay any longer. She turned around and sat down by the bed. She opened the medicine box and began to prepare the antidote for the snake poison.

The most suitable antidote was, of course, the serum, but where could she get the serum in this time and space? It was all the antidote recipe that Mo Ruyue had made herself, and of course, it also needed to be injected under the skin.

With the batch of ores provided by the magistrate, she had upgraded her medical equipment. In addition, the last operation was a success, so Imperial Doctor Tian had decided to give her all the equipment that was suitable for her.

Now, Mo Ruyue seemed to have a basic modern first aid kit.

When she took out the syringe, everyone was shocked. No one had ever seen such a strange thing with a transparent tube and a sharp needle.

Moreover, the needle head was much thicker than an ordinary sewing needle, and the tip of the needle was empty.

The needle was inserted into the bottle in Lady Qin’s hand. She pulled the plug on the transparent tube in her hand and the liquid in the bottle was drawn into the transparent tube. Everyone was amazed.

What happened next was even more horrifying. Lady Qin took a ball of wet cotton and wiped Qin Qingyuan’s arm, then she inserted the tube into his arm.

“Oh my God, that was scary!”

Some of the people in the crowd couldn’t help but cry out in surprise. They immediately covered their eyes tightly and didn’t dare to look anymore. Their hearts were beating fast.

That was why they said that Lady Qin was a ruthless person. After all, he wasn’t her child. She inserted such a thick needle without any hesitation.

Mo Ruyue injected the antidote into Qin Qingyuan’s body, but it was not over yet.

Next, she tore his clothes apart, revealing the wound that had been bitten by a poisonous snake.

On Qin Qingyuan’s arm, there were two long and deep wounds left by the fangs of the poisonous snake. The wounds were swollen because of the poison, and the blood that flowed out of them had turned purple-black.

After she disinfected her scalpel with alcohol, she made a cross on the wound.

“Ah!”

Qin Qingyuan, who had been unconscious, suddenly opened his eyes in pain. His eyes were bulging out. If Mo Ruyue hadn’t quickly pressed on his shoulder, he would have jumped to the ground.

Even though Qin Qingyuan kept struggling, he couldn’t withstand the strength of Mo Ruyue’s hand and was firmly suppressed.

“Maids, come and help me hold him down. Otherwise, it won’t be good for the treatment.”

Mo Ruyue’s original intention was to tie Qin Qingyuan up so that it would save her some trouble, but when she saw the villagers around him, she gave up on the idea and only called two of her maids to help.

There were not many women in the village who were afraid of blood. They had just been a little dizzy from the needles. After recovering from that feeling, two of the women immediately took the initiative to step forward when they heard that Mo Ruyue wanted help.

Both of them were muscular and had big waists. One of them could completely suppress Qin Qingyuan, let alone two.

Qin Qingyuan couldn’t even move when the two maids came out. One of them was pressing on his shoulders and arms, while the other was pressing on his legs. He couldn’t even move.

This time, Mo Ruyue could treat Qin Qingyuan’s injuries in peace.

After she cut the cross flower on the wound, the purplish-black blood flowed out and gave off a foul smell. It made people’s stomachs churn and they couldn’t help but want to vomit.

The two helpers almost couldn’t hold it in anymore, but Mo Ruyue acted as if nothing had happened and did what he had to do.

She pressed hard on the wound, and the blood flowed faster and more. Qin Qingyuan was in so much pain that he cried and howled desperately. His body was sweating like rain, and it didn’t take long for the thin blanket covering him to be wet.

Mo Ruyue squeezed the blood in the wound until it turned red, then she stopped.
