Chapter 6 Finding Medicines
Due to the serious condition of the old man, acupuncture was applied continuously for nearly a quarter of an hour before the old man's breathing was stabilized.
Tang Xuanxuan wiped the sweat from her head and smiled at him: "Finally stabilized."
This time, thanks to Shen Xingliu injecting internal energy into the silver needle, she would probably faint by now.
When everyone saw that the miracle finally happened, they all knelt down.
"The Fairy Queen has come down to earth to save us!"
"Merciful and compassionate female Bodhisattva, please save us!"
Tang Xuanxuan helped them up again and again, but they just didn't listen.
Shen Xingliu said: "If you don't get up, we won't save you."
She rolled her eyes and almost punched her.
But after these people heard this, they stood up consciously and stood cautiously one by one, for fear that any movement would make the "gods" angry again.
Shen Xingliu looked at her with a proud look on his face, as if to say, look, that's the way to go.
Tang Xuanxuan rolled her eyes at the other party again, and then explained: "Fellow folks, what you have is not a disease, but poisoning."
"What? Poisoning?" This was the first time people heard this word.
"We are all ordinary people, who would do anything to us?"
"Yeah, why didn't we die immediately after being poisoned?"
Tang Xuanxuan pressed her hands to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said: "To be precise, it is the invisible bugs in the water you usually drink that cause you to have diarrhea and vomiting."
"It's true. My mother only got sick after drinking a mouthful of raw water," Xiaolu came out to testify: "Moreover, in order to test her idea and find an antidote, my sister also drank water yesterday, and now she
would be so weak."
"That's it! I blamed you wrongly, girl," the old woman said with trembling hands, rubbing them, "I deserve to die, I deserve to die."
Tang Xuanxuan put her hand on the old woman's hand and said, "I can't blame you. You are also afraid of being deceived."
Seeing that the crowd was still noisy, Shen Xingliu shouted: "Quiet, we are also investigating who did it, but the top priority is to gather all the sick people in the city to the ruined temple and get them medicine."
"We listen to heroes!"
I don’t know who shouted first, and then everyone shouted.
"Okay, then, the active women will inform the patients to come over, and the men will help purchase the medicinal materials." Shen Xingliu nodded with satisfaction and took out a hundred taels of silver, which he had stolen from the Wei brothers earlier.
"Hero, we can't ask for your money, we will find a way to collect it ourselves."
Shen Xingliu advised: "You are so poor that you are about to beg for food. Take it first and pay me back when you have money."
He took Tang Xuanxuan's prescription and said, "Pay special attention to the need for thunder pills. Do you understand?"
"Yes, hero."
"Then let's set off." Shen Xingliu ordered.
Pang Junde stopped him and said, "I'd better go, we need you here."
Shen Xingliu looked at Tang Xuanxuan and said, "Okay, I'll leave it to you, Lao Pang."
Pang Junde took the silver and the prescription and led the group of people out of the temple gate.
Shen Xingliu pulled Tang Xuanxuan to sit on the bamboo mat, and she said, "I also suspect that someone did this deliberately."
"How do you say that?" he asked.
Tang Xuanxuan thought about it and said: "Because these insects should not have such a big reaction, and there are very few in the water."
"Where could that be?" he asked curiously.
"It's usually inside the body of animals." She flipped her hair and said, "And it's very possible that this bug is cultured."
Shen Xingliu's eyes gradually narrowed, and he decided to find out what was going on at night.
"Well?" He stretched out his hand inexplicably and took what Tang Xuanxuan gave him: "Pumpkin seeds? For me?"
Tang Xuanxuan gave her a look, threw him a white porcelain bottle, and said, "No, frying these pumpkin seeds and this bottle of medicinal powder together and giving them to the patient can slow down the symptoms, and add anthelmintic pills to kill the insects."
It was vomited out of the body.”
"Okay, I'll share it with them right now." Shen Xingliu didn't expect that she would actually bring the pumpkin seeds she took out yesterday.
A moment later, Shen Xingliu saw that many people were coming to Lu Lu. Unfortunately, there were not enough pumpkin seeds, so they could only have one per person. Fortunately, each one was very big.
He took out two pills and gave them to Tang Xuanxuan to eat. She only felt her stomach felt better.
Everyone felt good after taking it for a while, and they couldn't help but admire Tang Xuanxuan even more.
Xiaolu became happy when she saw her mother's soothing expression, ran to Tang Xuanxuan and kissed her.
In Shen Xingliu's gaze, the little girl ran away and made a face at him, making everyone burst into laughter.
The sun was approaching noon, and Pang Junde and his party had not returned yet. He felt vaguely bad in his heart.
"My hero, we are relatively poor. Can you still get used to eating like this?" The old woman was a little embarrassed and came to the two of them with two open bowls and said.
Shen Xingliu took the bowl with a smile, handed it to her, and said, "Madam, I haven't smelled such fragrant paste for a long time. I used to eat it often."
After finishing the drink, Tang Xuanxuan also took small bites.
In fact, as long as ordinary people take a glance, they can tell that their clothes are extraordinary, but it is rare to be able to mingle with them.
The old lady was very happy when she saw it and said: "I like it, hero. If you like it, hero, I will go and get you another bowl."
Shen Xingliu handed the bowl to her and said, "Please have another bowl if you'd like."
The old woman took the bowl, and then a man came to report.
"Hero, it's not good." The man gasped, "The medicinal materials were stolen by the officials."
"What's going on? Tell me slowly." Shen Xingliu frowned and said, I haven't gone to find you yet, but you came to my door automatically?
The man took a deep breath and said: "We have searched all the medicine shops in the city, and they all said that they do not have this medicinal material. Then Brother Pang wanted to visit a few towns outside the city and finally got the medicinal materials."
"When I entered the city, I was blocked in the north of the city by the county captain and his people. Now I am still arguing with Brother Pangda!"
Shen Xingliu turned around and picked up the knife and said angrily: "This is totally unreasonable. You lead the way and I'll go take a look."
"Hey, okay."
The man was frightened by the killing intent on Shen Xingliu and nodded repeatedly.
"Auntie, please put the bowl away first. I'll come back and eat later." Shen Xingliu said with a smile.
The old woman walked to Tang Xuanxuan worriedly and said, "Girl, why don't you stop him? I'm afraid he will get into trouble if he leaves."
Tang Xuanxuan looked at the old woman with a smile and said, "It's okay, aunt, he is very powerful in martial arts, and he also has a secret weapon."
Under the latter's doubtful gaze, Tang Xuanxuan took the bowl in her hand and ate it. Not to mention the paste mixed with corn flour and white flour, it was really delicious.
When they arrived at the north gate of the city, the county lieutenant and the official had already disappeared. A group of men looked downcast and surrounded Pang Junde who was sitting on the ground, constantly comforting him.
"What's going on?" Shen Xingliu stepped forward and asked.
"Hero? Why are you here?"
Everyone woke up from a dream and clasped their fists one after another: "My hero, you can't blame Brother Pang for this."
"It's like this. We brought the medicinal materials to the gate of the city, and suddenly a group of officials jumped out."
"They insisted that unexamined medicinal materials cannot enter the city, and they would take away the carriage after saying that."
"Brother Pang Pang, they knocked him unconscious with a scabbard in order to protect the medicinal materials. His head is still bleeding now."
Shen Xingliu listened to their words and understood what was happening.
He walked through the crowd and came to Pang Junde.
Pang Junde felt ashamed to see Shen Xingliu again and held his head to prevent him from looking at him.
Shen Xingliu smiled slightly and said: "Oh, this is a disfigurement. Let me see, maybe Tang Xuanxuan can cure it."
Hearing that he didn't blame him, Pang Junde slowly raised his head and saw a large piece of skin on his forehead, which was bleeding profusely.
Shen Xingliu frowned in distress and said, "How is it? Is the injury serious? Do you still know who you are?"
"Brother Shen, I'm useless. I failed to keep the medicinal materials. You can scold me." Pang Junde said with a lot of tears and runny nose.
Shen Xingliu shook his head and said: "You can't influence the government's thoughts. I will figure out a way to deal with the medicinal materials. You have to heal your injuries first."
After saying that, he handed the knife to the person next to him to hold.
He put Pang Junde on his back and said, "Let's go back and I'll figure out how to use the medicinal materials."
"Brother Shen, I'm too heavy. Put me down and I can walk by myself." Pang Junde said to him.
Shen Xingliu smiled and joked: "You are not too heavy, you are much lighter than Tang Xuanxuan."
Pang Junde was amused by him. Of course he would not believe that little Tang Xuanxuan could be as important as him, but he ignored Tang Xuanxuan's treasure bag.
Tang Xuanxuan was burping after eating three large bowls of paste, and sneezed twice suddenly. Is someone talking bad about me? Before I could think about it, he carried Pang Junde into the ruined temple.
"How could you be so seriously injured?"
Tang Xuanxuan asked without stopping, spreading medicine and applying bandages all at once.
After she stopped Pang Junde's bleeding, she poured out another Qi-boosting pill.
Although pills are expensive, they are used at the right time. Pang Junde took the pills and his face gradually turned red.
"Everyone, don't panic. I'll figure out a solution for the medicinal materials. You can just wait here with peace of mind." Shen Xingliu saw a few angry people picking up things to go to the government.
"Hero, we also have a responsibility for this matter, we can't let you bear it alone."
"Just let us go, hero."
The old woman angrily walked up to them and snatched away one of them's stick, saying: "My hero, whatever you say is whatever you say, and you all will go back with your bodies."
"But, alas." They dropped their weapons helplessly.
