211. Chapter 211 Wild Mushroom Poisoning

Hearing Shen Que's words, Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but be stunned.

He really did know.

Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't know how to answer for a moment and could only lower her head in silence.

"Alright, don't use that water of yours; I'll go take a look." Seeing Jiang Xiaoxiao stop talking, Shen Que put her down gently and turned to go outside.

"You, you can't go..." Jiang Xiaoxiao reached out and tugged at his sleeve, subconsciously glancing at the inner garment he was wearing.

The inner garment Shen Que was wearing was the largest one in the house. Although it could barely be worn, the hem was very short, so short that it only reached two inches above his knees. Any shorter and it could be worn as a cheongsam...

Fortunately, the clothing of this era was all loose-fitting, so even if it was short, it wouldn't appear tight.

If he went out to see people in this state, her mother's reputation would definitely be ruined!

Moreover, his appearance had been seen by some people in the village. If it spread and the group of people chasing him found out, not only would Shen Que die, but their mother and daughter, and even the entire village, would be implicated!

"I understand."

Seemingly seeing through Jiang Xiaoxiao's concerns, Shen Que didn't insist further, but squatted down in front of her and asked in a calm voice: "Does your family have a veil to cover your face?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao looked at Shen Que in front of her and couldn't help but be stunned.

Even when the man was half-squatting in front of her, he was still more than half a head taller than her.

As a five-year-old child, facing someone tall and sturdy, Jiang Xiaoxiao often had to look up to talk to the other person. After a long time, her neck would become sore from looking up.

And among all the people she knew, Shen Que seemed to be the only one who would consider her height and take the initiative to squat down to talk to her.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was silent for a moment, and the last trace of concern in her heart dissipated.

She raised her small hand, grabbed Shen Que's large hand, and headed into her main room.

Shen Que didn't ask either, such a big person obediently following behind the little girl who was only a little higher than his knees.

Once inside, Jiang Xiaoxiao rummaged through the wardrobe for a while and finally found a dark cyan outer garment to hand to Shen Que.

This outer garment was the largest piece of clothing in the entire house. Her mother thought it was too big and hadn't worn it much, so it had been pressed at the bottom of the chest.

It didn't matter if the inner garment was small, since it didn't need to be seen by people, but this outer garment for meeting people couldn't be sloppy.

Shen Que threw on this dark cyan outer garment in a few movements. Although it was still a large chunk too small, it was finally presentable.

Jiang Xiaoxiao rummaged around and found her mother's treasured veil.

Shen Que took it and put it on his head. The hanging gauze covered his face but couldn't block his vision.

He bent down nimbly, picked up Jiang Xiaoxiao with one hand, and walked quickly toward the soap workshop.

It had to be said that the difference between an adult and a child was not just in height. The soap workshop that Jiang Xiaoxiao had to run back and forth to, Shen Que reached in the blink of an eye while carrying her.

The soap workshop was still in a mess, with noisy voices.

The moment Shen Que walked in carrying Jiang Xiaoxiao, it suddenly became quiet inside.

Everyone looked at Jiang Xiaoxiao, then looked at the man whose face was covered by the veil, expressions of surprise appearing on their faces.

However, before anyone could ask, Shen Que took a step and strode to the front of the three fainted people.

He put down Jiang Xiaoxiao, first reached out to check the three people's breathing, and then took their pulses.

Everyone watched Shen Que's actions and subconsciously kept quiet; no one spoke.

For a time, the entire soap workshop seemed quiet.

Shen Que's face was behind the gauze, and Jiang Xiaoxiao on the side couldn't see the expression on his face, only hearing his calm and indifferent voice slowly ring out: "It's poisoning, the poison isn't deep yet, they can be saved. Someone come and fetch a bucket of water from the well."

"I'll go!" Liu Dagang volunteered, running out of the soap workshop quickly, and before long, he came in carrying a full bucket of water.

Shen Que ordered calmly: "Pour the water into the three of them, then induce vomiting."

Hearing this, everyone looked at Shen Que in confusion, obviously not knowing the reason for doing this.

"I'll do it!" It was Liu Dagang again.

He stood out, walked nimbly in front of the three, squatted down, picked up the water ladle from the bucket, and began to pour water into the mouths of the three.

Zhao Tiezhu and Zhao Youcai, father and son, saw this and also stepped forward to help.

When they had poured enough, Shen Que called a stop: "Put your fingers into their mouths, press on their throats to stimulate them gently, and while pressing on their abdomens, try to make them vomit out the food they ate."

The three followed suit one after another.

Following the sounds of vomiting, the three fainted people vomited out quite a bit of decomposed filth.

Chunya had sharp eyes and saw the clue from the vomited filth at a glance: "Aren't these wild mushrooms? Did they get poisoned from eating wild mushrooms?"

As soon as her voice fell, a woman who also worked in this soap workshop stood out and said: "I remember now, when the three of them came in the morning, they had eaten wild mushrooms! They were brought by Daniu's mother."

One of the fainted women was Daniu's mother.

"So it was poisoning from eating wild mushrooms..." Everyone suddenly realized, "Sigh, this Daniu's mother is really something, why would she dare to eat any wild mushroom, not afraid of problems."

Jiang Xiaoxiao silently gave a thumbs up to the little girl Chunya.

Very good, the mystery of the poisoning was solved; it had nothing to do with her family. They were poisoned because they ate wild mushrooms themselves.

Following the blaming voices of the crowd, the three who had originally fainted also slowly woke up.

Although their lips still showed a dark blue color, they were finally awake.

Everyone showed joy: "It's really miraculous! Xiaoxiao, who is this person you brought? He saved them all at once!"

While speaking, everyone's gaze fell on Shen Que again.

They hadn't paid much attention when he first came in, but now looking closely, they realized why the clothes he was wearing were so small?

And, why did the color of this garment look so much like... what a woman would wear?

Jiang Xiaoxiao laughed it off: "Haha, he is my mother's distant cousin. He just fled to our house yesterday. His clothes and such were all worn out on the road and couldn't be worn, so my mother just found him one to wear..."

Everyone showed a look of sudden realization and didn't ask any more questions.

Just at this time, Doctor Zhou also rushed over, "I heard someone was poisoned and fainted..."

"Oh my, Doctor Zhou, you finally came. These three fools ate poisonous wild mushrooms and fainted. Fortunately, Xiaoxiao's mother's cousin was here, otherwise we wouldn't know what to do..."

"Sigh, sorry, I just happened to go to town to buy medicinal herbs. Let me see how they are..."

Doctor Zhou stepped forward to take their pulses and looked at the vomit on the ground, finally letting out a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, you vomited out the poison, and the toxins haven't invaded the meridians or damaged the organs. I'll prescribe two doses of detoxifying medicine for you to take home and boil..." (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 212 =====
