Farmers don't like to wash their feet, which is very harmful to people.
Niu Xiaotian was so stung by He Shuisheng's stinky feet that he wanted to shed tears. He could only hold his breath and keep injecting in the spirit of a doctor who saves lives and heals the wounded.
Finally, black blood beads formed on the big toe, seeping out drop by drop, and eventually turned bright red.
He Shuisheng's twitching stopped, his black eyeballs returned, and he was breathing again.
Niu Xiaotian forcefully pulled He Shuisheng over and laid him down on the kang. He then asked Zhang Caixian to wipe the man's mouth with a wet towel and clean up briefly.
After He Shuisheng regained some sense of autonomy, his eyelids closed automatically, as if he was asleep.
"Shui Sheng? Shui Sheng!" Zhang Caixian pulled twice, but the man didn't respond at all, and became nervous again, "Xiaotian, is Shuisheng okay?"
"No, he's still unconscious!"
As Niu Xiaotian said this, he stretched out his hand and placed it on the artery in He Shuisheng's neck. He felt for a moment and found a sense of stagnation. Then he looked at his complexion. His eye sockets and nose sockets were blue, his philtrum was gray, and his lips were black.
"What's going on?" Zhang Caixian began to worry again.
"She must have been poisoned. As for how she was poisoned, I still don't know."
"What should I do? Do I need to be sent to a big hospital?"
Zhang Caixian had a crying face and patted her thigh vigorously. If the man went to the hospital and received treatment, he might not be able to save his house.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'll go home and get something, it should be able to cure it."
Niu Xiaotian said, picked up the silver needle and walked out. Suddenly he remembered something and turned around and said: "Wash Brother Shuisheng's feet first, it stinks!"
"How many times have I scolded him for this!"
Zhang Caixian was very embarrassed and hurriedly agreed.
After all, Niu Xiaotian was still in the basin in the yard, washed his hands, rinsed the silver needle, and then returned on his motorcycle.
Ten minutes later, Niu Xiaotian came back again, holding a small medicine bottle in his hand.
Instructing Zhang Caixian to bring a glass of warm water, Niu Xiaotian poured out a handful of powder from the medicine bottle and melted it into the water.
Then he took a chopstick, pried open He Shuisheng's mouth, and slowly poured the warm water in.
What Niu Xiaotian gave He Shuisheng to take was the powder of Cold Jade Spider, which could detoxify hundreds of poisons. Without such a thing, he would have been helpless.
After finishing his work, Niu Xiaotian lit up a cigarette, sat on the edge of the kang, and asked He Shuisheng how he got sick.
Zhang Caixian said that the man came back from the mountain yesterday afternoon, and the harvest from the mountain was pretty good.
The basket and shoulder bag were both bulging, and there were many valuable morel mushrooms inside that were half-dried on the mountain.
Hearing that Zhang Yongbiao had broken the window glass, He Shuisheng was so angry that he couldn't help but cursed and rolled up his sleeves to fight.
He Shui was stopped by Zhang Caixian and told him that because Xiao Tian led people to protect the village, Zhang Yongbiao and his gang were blocked at the entrance of the village and almost beaten to death. Only then did He Shui's anger subside.
Then, I stewed a chicken for the Tooth Festival in the evening.
Then there's the matter of the rising and falling in bed on the fire bed.
"Sister-in-law, let's talk about the important point. What's wrong with Brother Shuisheng?" Niu Xiaotian asked with a frown.
"It's nothing unusual!" After Zhang Caixian finished speaking, he scratched his forehead and said, "Let me think about it again, well, it's really nothing unusual."
"Then why did you get sick today?"
"I went to look in the fields in the morning. When I came back, I just got on the kang, and then I collapsed after breathing for a while. I was scared to death!" Zhang Caixian was still frightened.
There are many types of poisons, and Niu Xiaotian is not sophisticated enough to tell what they are by their complexion.
It can only be roughly concluded that this is a slow-release toxin. He Shuisheng was probably poisoned before going down the mountain, and the attack did not occur until now.
Half an hour later, He Shuisheng finally woke up and complained that his stomach hurt when he opened his eyes.
"Sister-in-law, help Brother Shuisheng to the hut, and we'll talk about it when we get back," Niu Xiaotian arranged.
He Shuisheng still didn't know what happened, but when he saw Niu Xiaotian, he was stunned and couldn't remember when this kid came.
The pain in his stomach was unbearable. He Shuisheng just said hello and moved to the hut outside the house with the help of his wife.
Twenty minutes later, when his stomach was almost empty, He Shuisheng returned to the room holding on to the wall.
Already knowing what was going on, he tremblingly cupped his fists and saluted, thanking him for saving his life.
After drinking several glasses of water in one breath, He Shuisheng lit up a cigarette and regained his energy.
"Oh, why did I lose my breath? I almost died!" He Shuichang sighed, thinking that he had always been in good health, but he was able to collapse in one fell swoop.
"Didn't sister-in-law tell you that you were poisoned?" Niu Xiaotian emphasized.
"I don't eat randomly! I pick mountains every year. I can't tell the difference between what I can eat and what I can't eat?" He Shuisheng scratched his head.
"The disease enters through the mouth. You must have eaten something. Think carefully before going down the mountain."
His scalp was about to be scratched, and He Shuisheng finally remembered that he had eaten a wild strawberry. It seemed to taste a bit strange, with a sweet and sour taste mixed with fishy smell.
Because it didn't taste good, he didn't touch the other wild strawberries.
Wild strawberries are not poisonous and are very delicious. Unlike home-grown strawberries, they are usually very small. As a result, they accumulate more sugar, which is rare.
Wild strawberries mostly mature in summer, but they are rare this season.
This is the only wild food that He Shuisheng remembers eating.
They were a group of five, because He Shuisheng walked at the end and no one else saw him. In fact, he also wanted to devour all the wild strawberries.
"Brother Shuisheng, take me to find that bush of wild strawberries this afternoon. Maybe it has something to do with it."
Niu Xiaotian was not sure about this, and had to go to the scene to see it.
If it is really related to wild strawberries, other villagers cannot eat them by mistake anymore, and the roots can be eradicated.
"Okay, I'll take you up the mountain in the afternoon. It's not far. It's just over the top of an east mountain." He Shuisheng agreed.
Of course you have to repay your life-saving kindness.
Zhang Caixian brought 500 yuan, and Niu Xiaotian accepted it politely. In fact, it was not much, but it is not easy for farmers to make money.
Niu Xiaotian declined to stay for dinner and agreed to meet up at two o'clock in the afternoon to go up the mountain.
The couple thanked them profusely and sent their benefactor outside the gate, watching Niu Xiaotian riding his motorcycle and driving away.
"Xiao Tian is a good person." He Shuisheng said with emotion.
"It's just that my life was bad. I was alone since I was a child, and no one took care of me." Zhang Caixian rubbed his wet eye sockets.
"By the way, take some time to give Xiaotian some morel mushrooms to try."
"Why did I forget it?"
Zhang Caixian slapped his forehead and stamped his feet again, with a look of regret on his face.
In fact, he just didn't want to give it up. Now that the man had spoken, he had no choice but to agree, "I'll send it to you after you wash it thoroughly."
At noon, Anyue came back for dinner and drove the red Mercedes. She was very vain and could show off.
But after entering the room and sitting down, An Yue's two thin eyebrows frowned together, looking very troubled.
"Sister, what's wrong? Work is not going well?" Niu Xiaotian asked.
"Oh, it's not because of the car outside that it's difficult to deal with!" Anyue pouted.
