Chapter 3 Going up the mountain to collect herbs

Zhang Tiesheng took a deep breath and inserted the acupuncture point.

"Ouch, it hurts..."

Zhang Dewang immediately screamed.

Although his expression looked a little painful, both Zhang Tiesheng and Zhang Xinyue were full of joy.

Because Zhang Dewang's lower body has been unconscious for a long time.

Now he knows that crying out in pain means he has regained consciousness.

Zhang Tiesheng knew that he had inserted the needle in the right place, so he inserted a few more needles into other acupuncture points.

After the treatment, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Uncle Yao, try to see if you can move now."

Zhang Xinyue grabbed the corner of her clothes and stared at Zhang Dewang's legs, expecting a miracle to happen.

Sure enough, a miracle happened!

Although Zhang Dewang seemed to be struggling, his right leg still moved a little.

"It's moving, my legs can move." Zhang Xinyue was so excited that she pulled Zhang Tiesheng to jump up and down.

Ever since Zhang Dewang was paralyzed in bed, she had been looking forward to this moment all the time.

Zhang Tiesheng chuckled lightly, and the smile disappeared immediately.

"Uncle Yao, your condition is very serious and you will need a period of treatment." Zhang Tiesheng said seriously.

These words caused the originally relaxed and joyful atmosphere to fall into dead silence again.

Initially, Zhang Xinyue thought that Zhang Dewang would recover quickly.

Now Zhang Tiesheng poured cold water on her head again.

"Brother, how long was that period of time specifically?" Zhang Xinyue said with worry on her face.

Zhang Tiesheng knew that what he just said made her worry too much, so he smiled and said: "Yueyue, don't worry, if you recover well, you will be recovered in less than a week."

"Don't worry, I'm very sure." Then he gave her a determined look.

At this moment, Zhang Xinyue felt uneasy inside.

She was surprised and happy just now when she saw that Zhang Dewang was conscious.

But I'm worried whether it was just a flash in the pan.

"Yueyue, take care of Uncle Yao first, and I'll go take a look in the fields." Zhang Tiesheng left the room after saying that.

If he doesn't go out and get some money, there will be no food for lunch.

The rice vat at home is already cleaner than my face.

They had been drinking sweet potato soup for several days, and they were all nauseated.

As soon as he arrived at the yard, Zhang Tiesheng was startled by the sight in front of him.

The knowledge in his mind told him that the inconspicuous flowers and plants in the yard actually had medicinal value.

Immediately a bold idea came to mind.

"There are so many medicinal herbs in the yard, wouldn't there be more on the mountain, and maybe we can collect valuable medicinal materials, then wouldn't we make a fortune?" Zhang Tiesheng went into the house, picked up the basket on his back, and ran towards the mountain.

The place where Zhang Tiesheng lives is called Shangen Village.

As the name suggests, it is a poor village surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on one side.

"Help..."

As soon as he arrived at the foot of the mountain, Zhang Tiesheng heard someone shouting for help.

He didn't think much and ran up the mountain.

When he was halfway up the mountain, he saw a lot of movement in the grass as tall as a man.

The cries for help kept coming.

Zhang Tiesheng pushed aside the grass and found that the person calling for help was Lin Cuilian.

At this moment, Lin Cuilian was slumped on the ground, kicking her legs with a look of horror on her face.

"Sister Lin, what's wrong with you?"

When Zhang Tiesheng was about to step forward, he heard Lin Cuilian shouting, "Don't come over here, there are snakes there!"

She was going to go up the mountain to cut some grass and feed the cows.

Unexpectedly, she cut off just a little bit, and a snake got into her skirt while she wasn't paying attention and bit her.

Zhang Tiesheng took a closer look and saw that there was indeed a snake at Lin Cuilian's feet.

He winked at Lin Cuilian and told her to stay quiet.

This will prevent the snake from being frightened and attacking again.

At this time, he happened to see a snake killing the door next to him.

Snake Miemen is a plant, also called Snake Grass.

As long as you rub a little bit on your hands, no matter what kind of snake it is, it will not dare to come near it again.

Then, Zhang Tiesheng held his breath and slowly approached the snake.

With lightning speed, he caught the snake's head.

Then he quickly threw it into the bag and tied the mouth of the bag.

Some series of actions are so clean and neat.

When Lin Cuilian saw that he was about to take the snake back, she said with lingering fear: "That snake is so scary, why did you bring it back? Just beat him to death quickly."

"What are you talking about? Take this snake back to make soup, not to mention how delicious it will be." Zhang Tiesheng couldn't help but swallowed.

He hasn't eaten meat for a long time.

Now that he finally had the opportunity, how could he let it go so easily?

Lin Cuilian rolled her eyes and said nothing. She slowly got up from the ground and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Speaking of this, Zhang Tiesheng sighed, "I'm here to see if there are any valuable herbs and pick some to exchange for money."

Collecting herbs to exchange for money is just one of the reasons.

Because treating Zhang Dewang's old illness also requires a lot of herbal medicine.

He had no money to buy it, so he had to go up the mountain to try his luck.

"Sister Lin, it's hot now and there are many venomous snakes in the mountains. Come with me and take care of each other." Zhang Tiesheng also brought her bamboo basket over.

Lin Cuilian was scared to death just now, and now she didn't dare to walk alone in the mountains.

Besides, spending more time alone with Zhang Tiesheng can also enhance their relationship.

Why not?

"Tie Sheng..."

Hearing this, Zhang Tiesheng turned his head and saw that her face turned black and her lips turned purple.

This is a clear sign of poisoning.

"No, the snake just now was poisonous. Sister Lin, show me where you were bitten." Zhang Tiesheng said nervously.

The fact that snake venom can take effect over such a long period of time shows that it is very toxic.

If not treated in time, it can be life-threatening.

Lin Cuilian sat down in a shady place, pulled up her skirt, and said slowly: "My sister's lower part is bitten, please help me take a look."

Zhang Tiesheng's face immediately darkened, and he thought to himself, "It's already this time, and she's still thinking about those things. She's really convinced!"

But when he saw the sweat dripping from Lin Cuilian's head, he felt that it was not fake.

"Sister Lin, are you kidding me?" Zhang Tiesheng asked tentatively.

Lin Cuilian was unable to speak, biting her lips and nodded.

Now that the situation was urgent, Zhang Tiesheng had no time to think about anything else and lifted up her skirt.

There were indeed two bite marks from venomous snakes at the base of her thigh, which was as frosty as snow.

Moreover, the area around the wound has begun to turn purple, which is in sharp contrast with the surrounding skin.

It's like a stunningly beautiful woman with a birthmark on her face.

"Sister Lin, your situation is very serious. I have to suck out the poisonous blood from you immediately." Zhang Tiesheng said and used his mouth to help her take the drug.

"uh-huh……"

Lin Cuilian couldn't help but snorted softly, grabbing the weeds with both hands.

At this moment, she felt an indescribable feeling.

She could feel the heat of Zhang Tiesheng's lips, and she could also feel the coldness of the poisonous blood after it was sucked out.

This is simply a world of ice and fire!
