Chapter 218

In her mind, the system quickly completed the detection and gave the answer, "Snake venom, the time has dragged on too long, the poison has entered the bone marrow, and the six internal organs are severely damaged."

"Then is he still alive?" Du Ruo asked hurriedly.

"It can't be considered alive, only the last breath is left, one foot has already stepped into the gate of hell."

The system was connected to Du Ruo's heart, so it naturally knew what she was thinking, "Host, this system does not suggest you save him."

Du Ruo didn't understand, "Why?"

Clearly, it had issued tasks to her several times before, asking her to save this and that, saying that saving one life was better than building a seven-story pagoda.

How come, the pagoda isn't worth money now?

The system heard Du Ruo's complaints in its core and explained, "This is one time, that is another; whether it's Li Nan Si or Qin Shi, saving them is beneficial to both others and oneself."

Du Ruo raised her eyebrows.

Did this mean that saving this man would cause trouble?

"Whether there is trouble, it's hard to say now."

"Host, don't forget, practicing medicine in any dynasty requires a qualification certificate; practicing medicine without a license is illegal."

It would be fine if he was saved, but if he died, the patient's family could sue you to the public court in minutes.

At that time, not only would you have to pay money, but you might also go to jail.

Du Ruo fell silent.

To save or not to save, that is a question.

Whether he can be saved is also a question.

Watching the "corpse" go further and further, about to disappear into the night, Du Ruo's eyeballs turned rapidly a few times, and finally made up her mind.

"My Lord, the military officer just now should not be dead yet."

Not dead? Xianling Li was surprised.

Before he could ask, Doctor Ke glared at Du Ruo, "This little brother, stop talking nonsense! The person is almost stiff, how could he not be dead?"

"But I just saw him move with my own eyes." Du Ruo had an innocent face.

Doctor Ke was even more unhappy; he had practiced medicine for decades, couldn't he tell if a patient was dead or not?

"I think your eyes are dazzled."

Doctor Ke waved his hand impatiently, "Go, go, don't make trouble, do you know or do I know?"

Du Ruo didn't argue with him, but turned to the person who could make the decision, "My Lord, I have a secret recipe for snake venom, maybe I can save that military officer."

Xianling Li actually felt that Xiong Er couldn't be saved.

But suddenly he thought that Du Ruo had saved his son with a strange method.

Anyway, there was no loss, why not try it?

Thinking of this, Xianling Li hurriedly had someone chase the corpse back and put it back on the ground in the center of the tent.

Everyone's eyes looked over here in unison.

Especially the twenty or thirty seriously injured, poisoned, and struggling soldiers, each with a desire for survival in their eyes.

If Xiong Er could live, it meant they could live too.

Several doctors were quite calm.

Especially Doctor Ke, who even shook his head helplessly.

What's the point of tossing?

Originally, seeing Xiong Er dead, others accepted their fate; now it's good, some sissy appeared from nowhere, insisting that Xiong Er wasn't dead, and saying he could save him.

Giving others hope for no reason, and then cruelly depriving them of hope when he couldn't save him.

Do you know how cruel this is?

Du Ruo walked over, squatted down, placed two fingers on Xiong Er's wrist, and pretended to take his pulse.

She also opened Xiong Er's eyelids to look, observing his wound carefully.

It was too late, the best time for injecting anti-snake venom serum had passed; for the current plan, she could only focus on dispelling wind and detoxifying, with conditioning as a supplement.

"Chrysanthemum three qian, Angelica dahurica two qian, centipede one qian, Uncaria three qian, Prunella vulgaris three qian, Houttuynia cordata three qian, cicada slough three qian..."

Du Ruo paused.

Doctor Ke smiled, his tone containing mockery, "Is this the secret recipe you mentioned?"

"Why, is there something wrong with this recipe?" Xianling Li interrupted.

"There is nothing wrong, it's just that the recipe we have been using for these days is the same one."

Such a common wind-extinguishing and detoxifying soup, who doesn't know it among those who have properly studied medicine?

But facts proved that this recipe couldn't completely clear the toxins in the patient's body, just letting them linger on.

"I haven't finished speaking yet." Du Ruo smiled, "Add one whole scorpion as a medicinal guide."

Whole scorpion? And one?

Doctor Ke was so angry his beard curled up, "I say, do you know medicine at all? Scorpions are highly toxic, no less than snake venom; poison on top of poison, are you trying to make him die thoroughly?"

Xianling Li and Xianling Lin looked at each other.

Especially Xianling Li, who couldn't help but have doubts in his heart.

As far as he knew, Du Ruo was raised in the countryside, and she really hadn't studied medicine.

Could she really be talking nonsense?

"Doctor Ke is right, scorpions are indeed poisonous, but they are also a precious medicinal material, and just happen to neutralize the snake venom in this military officer's body."

Du Ruo explained, "That's why there is a saying, fighting poison with poison."

Doctor Ke wanted to say something more, but Xianling Li interrupted him, "Alright, anyway, there is no other way now, just treat a dead horse as a living horse."

At worst, it's just carrying the corpse out.

The county magistrate spoke, and Doctor Ke had to close his mouth unwillingly.

Those medicinal materials were in the camp, all ready-made.

Except for the scorpion.

Xianling Li wanted to send someone to buy it at a pharmacy, but the nearest pharmacy was more than ten miles away, and it was late at night, so it would take at least two hours to go back and forth.

By the time the scorpion was bought back, Xiong Er would have long since returned to heaven.

Furthermore, scorpions were rare medicinal materials, expensive and not to mention, whether they were for sale was another matter.

There was no way, Du Ruo decided to think of another idea.

"This is the foot of the mountain, theoretically there should be scorpions, why don't we look around?" Du Ruo said to Xianling Li.

Xianling Li: "..."

Doctor Ke really couldn't hold back.

It was really unbearable!

"It's a scorpion, a scorpion! Not an earthworm! Do you really think you can find one just by turning it over? And it's so dark that even a mouse might not be able to see it, can you find such a small scorpion?"

He really didn't know if this ugly kid was naive or stupid.

"How do you know if you don't try?"

Du Ruo was very persistent, "As the saying goes, a lucky person has his own heaven's phase; this military officer was injured for attacking bandits, he is a hero, heaven will not let down a hero."

After saying this, she took the lead and walked outside.

Xianling Li hesitated, but decided to believe Du Ruo, and waved his hand to have people follow her to look for it.

The other doctors saw this, looked at the "corpse" on the ground, and then looked at Doctor Ke.

One of them asked weakly, "Should we also go out and look?"

What if that kid's prescription is really effective? Then most of the wounded here would be saved.

"Look for a hammer." Doctor Ke snorted unhappily, "If you can really find one, I'll call him ancestor!"

As soon as the words fell, a scream suddenly came from outside.

Immediately after, someone shouted excitedly, "Found it, found it! Such a big one!"

Doctor Ke: "..."

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

Just thinking this, he saw a soldier running into the tent excitedly, holding a pair of chopsticks made of branches, and at the other end of the chopsticks, a finger-long scorpion was clamped tightly.

The poisonous needle at the tail of the scorpion was ready to go, ready to launch an attack at any time.

The two county magistrates hurriedly retreated, staying away from that thing; if they were accidentally stung, their old lives would be gone.

Du Ruo walked in and said with a smile, "Doctor Ke, I have to trouble you to process it."

Doctor Ke finally recovered from the shock and swallowed his saliva.

"Okay." Ancestor.

Generally speaking, scorpions need to be made into whole scorpions before they can be used as medicine, but the time required for that is too long, and the situation is urgent now, so they can only use live scorpions as medicine first.

First, give the scorpion a bath, then put it in boiling water and boil it until the whole body is stiff before fishing it out.

Finally, crush it and boil it with other medicinal materials, boil three bowls of water into one bowl, and take it orally.

No one slept all night.

Of course, not including Shen Jing Bin.

Shen Jing Bin drank some wine, then fell on the couch and fell asleep, and even had a beautiful dream.

In the dream, there was a stunning beautiful woman, standing in the flowers, smiling at him.

That rosy face, that cherry mouth, that plump but firm figure...

Slurp.

He couldn't wait to pounce on her, just about to kiss the beauty.

The beauty suddenly changed her face, took out a dagger from her sleeve, and stabbed it into his chest fiercely.

Heart-piercing.
