Chapter 144: Poisoning

  "Or is there another brother named Liu Daxi?" Xiao Yu couldn't help but blurt out when he heard that the child's father was called Liu Erxi.

  "Really? Really! Doctor, do you know my brother?" Liu Erxi was extremely excited when he heard Xiao You mention his own brother's name, and he thought that Xiao You knew his brother too!

  Xiao Yu wiped away a cold sweat... He thought to himself, "Is this thing really that hard to guess?" However, he still shook his head and said: "I don't recognize it!"

  Liu Erxi, who was initially excited, heard Xiao You say that he didn't recognize his own brother, and his excited expression gradually faded away. Thinking about it, his brother had lived in their old mountain village for a lifetime, and the farthest place he had ever been to was only the county town, so how could he know this doctor in front of him?

  "Doctor, get on, I'll take you back!" Liu Erxi said, stopping the tricycle in front of Xiao You.

  "Hmm!" Xiao Yu nodded and was about to get on the car.

  Suddenly, a noisy shout and a woman's crying voice came from an alley behind Xiao Yu and his friends.

  Xiao Yu stopped and looked back, but all he could hear from afar were faint sounds of crying and shouting. Xiao Yu shook his head in self-mockery, wondering if he was being too sensitive. He continued walking towards the tricycle.

  Suddenly, a man in his thirties ran out of an alley behind Xiao Yu and the others, saw Liu Erxi riding a tricycle standing there, and said to Liu Erxi with a flash in his eyes: "Erxi, quick, let me use your tricycle, it's urgent!"

  Liu Erxi looked at the panting man with a face full of anxiety and sweat on his forehead, saying: "Gao Ge, what's wrong? What happened?"

  He also heard the chaotic noise coming from that side just now, but he didn't know what was going on! At this time, seeing a familiar face with an anxious expression, he couldn't help but ask.

  "Alas, don't mention it, the third daughter of Old Wang's family, I don't know what's wrong with her, she's been vomiting and having diarrhea all along, now she's even foaming at the mouth, it looks like she won't make it!" The man sighed and said.

  "Second Joy, quickly give me the tricycle, I need to send someone to the hospital, or it will be too late!" The man walked over to Liu Er Xi's side and was about to push the tricycle.

  "Hey, Liu Er Xi, aren't you working at the pharmacy? You should know something about this. Come and take a look at her, what's wrong with her?" The man pushed his tricycle and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered that Liu Er Xi worked at the pharmacy, so he turned around and shouted at him.

  "But, Gao Ge, although I work in a pharmacy, I don't understand too much!" Liu Er Xi said with an embarrassed face.

  "It's nothing, after all, you know more than us! Hurry up!" The man urged Liu Erxi as he rode the tricycle.

  "Good!" Liu Erxi responded with a hint of excitement on his face, he had also learned a bit from the boss when he treated illnesses in the pharmacy, and now hearing the man's words made him very eager to go take a look.

  But when he turned around and saw Xiao Yu standing there, he suddenly remembered the task his wife had assigned to him and couldn't help but look at Xiao Yu with a difficult expression.

  "You go first! I'll also go take a look!" Xiao Yu said to Liu Er Xi, then followed behind the tricycle towards another alley.

  Liu Erxi was taken aback by Xiao Yu's words, and then he felt delighted. In his eyes, the current Xiao Yu was a high-ranking hermit, and if he was willing to lend a hand, Liu Erxi might even be able to learn something from him.

  When he turned around, he saw Xiao Yu following behind the tricycle and quickly took a few steps to catch up with him.

  The tricycle stopped at the entrance of the alley where the man had just come out, and seeing Liu Erxi following behind, he hastily shouted to him: "Erxi, hurry up and follow!" After finishing speaking, he turned around and entered the alley.

  Xiao Yu followed into the alley, this alley was similar to where Liu Er Xi and others lived, also a narrow small alley. The alley was filled with polluted water and black mud, only a narrow path on the side could be walked by people. In the middle of the alley, a large crowd of people surrounded a tent, pointing and gesturing at something inside.

  "Let go... let go...... the car is coming!" The man, without regard for the muddy water on the ground, ran all the way to the tent surrounded by people and said to them.

  Xiao Yu ran quickly along the clean little path on the side, and Liu Er Xi followed behind him, not paying attention to the dirty water and mud on the ground.

  Xiao Yu and the others had just arrived at the tent when the man from earlier ran out again, shouting to Liu Er Xi: "Er Xi, come quick! San Ya is dying!"

  Liu Erxi quickly walked a few steps ahead of Xiao Ye and entered the tent, while Xiao Ye also followed closely behind.

  Xiao Yu had just walked into the tent when a foul odor assailed him. The entire tent was filled with this smell, which was completely different from the stench of garbage and sewage outside. This should be caused by the filthy things that were vomited out!

  The stench in the tent was so strong that even people who lived here all year round couldn't stand it. Liu Erxi and the person he brought with him, who had just squeezed into the tent, stayed inside for less than two minutes before their faces turned bright red from suffocation, and they couldn't help but run out to take a few breaths of fresh air.

  This fresh air is nothing but a slightly better stench than the trash smell in the house.

  Xiao Yu's face didn't show any abnormality, but when Liu Erxi returned and saw Xiao Yu's unchanged expression, he looked embarrassed and thought to himself, "I still dream of becoming a doctor, it seems I'm far from it." Logically speaking, Xiao Yu should be more delicate than him, but in this smelly room that made people want to vomit, Xiao Yu didn't show any unusual reaction.

  After the two went out for some fresh air, Xiao Yu was able to see the situation in the room clearly. This room was similar to other long canvas tents, and it was also filled with plastic bottles, cardboard boxes, and old newspapers.

  The only difference is that this room has a bed made of wooden boards, and a low three-tiered bunk bed, even narrower and lower than the berths on a train.

  A couple in their fifties stood beside a bed, the woman wailing loudly while the man looked anxious with red-rimmed eyes at a little girl of five or six lying on the bed.

  Xiao Yu looked carefully at the bed, the little girl's face was pale and black, her mouth occasionally spitting out a white foam. Now the little girl had no consciousness, only instinctively twitching twice, and the sheet under the little girl was wet and black, emitting a foul odor.

  "Hurry, hurry and take the child out! It's not good in here! She's been poisoned!" Xiao Yu had just walked into the tent when he smelled the foul odor inside, and upon seeing the little girl's entire body turning a dark greenish-black color, he immediately confirmed that she had been poisoned.

  "Huh?" The child's parents, who had been watching their child struggle to breathe, had already lost hope. But when they heard Xiao Yu's shout, they were taken aback and looked at him in confusion.

  Lao Wang and his family have lived here for nearly fifteen or sixteen years, so they are naturally familiar with the people here. However, he has never seen this Xiao Ye before, and judging from his clothes, he doesn't seem to be a local either.

  "Old Wang Shu, this is the doctor, hurry up and bring San Ya out!" Liu Er Xi said hastily when he saw that the child's parents didn't move after hearing Xiao Yu's words.

  "Oh? Oh........." The child's father heard Liu Erxi say that Xiao You was a doctor, and after being stunned for a moment, he repeatedly responded.

  Old Wang picked up his daughter from the bed and walked out, the child's mother also followed out in tears.

  Seeing Old Wang carrying the child out, the man who borrowed Liu Erxi's tricycle somehow found a cardboard box that had held an air conditioner and laid it on the ground, saying: "Old Wang, come, quickly put the child here!"

  As old Wang carried the child out, a nauseating gust of air burst out of the house. The people who had been surrounding the tent all took several steps back.

  Old Wang put the child on a cardboard box at the entrance of the tent, and the child's mother sat directly on the ground, looking at the pale-faced child and bursting into loud sobs.

  Xiao Yu walked over, placed the medical box he was carrying in a corner of the cardboard box, opened it and took out a package of silver needles. Xiao Yu randomly pulled out one from the needle package and lightly pierced it into the child's throat. The originally bright silver needle instantly turned black. Xiao Yu furrowed his brow, then took out another one and lightly pierced it into the child's abdomen, this silver needle also turning black.

  Xiao Yu took out a silver needle from the needle bag again, and gently pierced it into the child's abdomen. The silver needle in the abdomen did not change at all.

  Xiao Yu saw that the silver needle inserted into his abdomen did not change color, and his originally furrowed brow gradually relaxed. This child was deeply poisoned, but there was still hope for rescue!

  Xiao Yu did not pull out the silver needle from the child's body, but instead took out a package of gold needles from his bag. Just as he was about to open the package of gold needles, he suddenly had a change of heart and put down the gold needles, picking up the package of silver needles again and drawing out another silver needle from it.

  Xiao Yu used his other hand to gently pry open the child's mouth, and in the instant he pried it open, a foul odor burst out of the child's mouth, accompanied by a stream of white foam. Xiao Yu held the child's mouth open until the foam had flowed out cleanly, then dipped a silver needle into the child's saliva. The originally bright silver needle instantly turned black as soon as it came into contact with the child's saliva.

  The crowd of onlookers and parents outside the tent, upon seeing the silver needles turn black, all changed their expressions and began to discuss it among themselves. Although they lived in a place with limited access to information, they also knew that this was a sign of poisoning.

  Xiao Yu ignored the gossiping crowd and put down the silver needle, then picked up the golden needle case. He lightly wiped his hand over the acupuncture package that only exposed the needle head, and a golden needle appeared in his hand.

  "My poor child....................... My poor child! .........." At this time, the child was already breathing out more than in, and not only Xiao Yu but also the child's parents saw that the child was about to give up! The child's mother, who had been crying softly, suddenly burst into loud wails when she saw her daughter poisoned and now breathing out more than in.
