C11 Chapter Xi Viper

The next morning, as soon as Su Cheng Xi woke up, Rong Xiu was no longer on the bed. He smelled the sweet and bitter scent of a few herbs and got off the bed.

As he walked out of the door, he saw a grass stove outside. This sweet and bitter smell was coming from that grass stove.

Rong Xiu lightly waved her fan at the side, focusing her attention on looking at the stove. She didn't even notice that Su Cheng Xi was standing behind her.

"Xiu'er, what are you doing?" Su Cheng Xi's clear and bright voice sounded from behind him.

Rong Xiu was startled, she turned around and asked: "Husband, you're up? I'm brewing yesterday's herbs, but if we boil them in the water and dry them in the sun, they will become medicine. When we sell them in the herb shop in the city, we can make a small profit. When that time comes, we will have the money to repair houses and dig ponds.

Seeing her expression, Su Cheng Xi's heart was moved: "Xiu'er, then I'll go to the field and take a look. If mother and the others come, tell them to put down the chicken and quickly leave. Don't be angry."

After a few days, he also understood that Rong Xiu was a gentle yet strong woman. It was impossible for someone to get even the slightest bit of advantage from her.

"Yes." Rong Xiu turned around and focused on looking at the stove. After so many years of military service, she had become a highly focused person. If she had something on her hands, she would do it well.

Not long after Su Cheng Xi left, Old Lady Wang arrived with Gui Fen in tow, cursing loudly. In her hand was a chicken coop.

There were no more than fifteen chicks. It was indeed a small number.

Rong Xiu glanced inside the chicken coop and softly said, "Sorry for the trouble, but as the saying goes, there is always a beginning and an end. Since this chicken cub was taken by this grandma, then I would like to ask grandma to put it back personally."

"How can a daughter-in-law order a mother-in-law to do something!" Old Lady Wang was anxious and angry.

Rong Xiu giggled, "If Granny doesn't do this, then I won't have the sincerity to apologize to Hubby. Since that's the case, it's not impossible for Xiu'er to invite the Village Head over."

"You!" Old Lady Wang was so angry that her eyes slanted and her mouth was crooked. She almost passed out from anger. She shoved the chicken coop into Gui Fen's hands and said, "Let's go. Put these chickens back."

Guifen unwillingly rolled her eyes, but followed Lady Wang's instructions and put the chicken back inside the railings.

Many yellow chicks were happily chirping in their cages, as if celebrating their return home.

"What the hell is that smell? It's not just making drugs to harm people!" Guifen spat at the stove and stamped her feet. "Mother, let's go home."

When Rong Xiu saw this, she frowned. She glanced at Grandma Wang's leg, smiled slightly, and said: "Granny, I don't know if I should say this."

Old Lady Wang coldly snorted and said, "What are you hesitating for? If you have something to say, quickly say it. If you have to fart, quickly fart!"

She had always been a rough person, so the words she said were not pleasing to hear.

"Grandma's legs must be really bad." Rong Xiu broke a branch from a nearby bush and suddenly pulled on Nanny Wang's left leg.

Old Lady Wang trembled in pain. "You actually dared to hit my mother-in-law. You don't want to live anymore, do you?!"

As she spoke, she wanted to rush forward and twist Rong's embroidered mouth. Rong Xiu relied on her light body to jump back, "Grandma, please wait. These few days, does Granny feel that her left leg is too heavy, like she can't lift it?"

Old Lady Wang stopped in her tracks. Rong Xiu's words were indeed true. It had already been over a month, but she still felt as if her left leg was filled with lead. She always felt that her strength was insufficient.

"Mother is in good health!" Is there a need for you to spout nonsense and curse my mother? " Guifen was like a small hammer, about to step forward and embroider.

"Wait, what are you guys doing!" He had come over from the field and had just seen the scene of Grandma Wang and Guifen wanting to beat them up.

"Hubby, Grandma's leg is not good. I want to show it to her." Rong Xiu's eyes, which were as black as lacquer, flowed. "But Grandma doesn't want me to show it to her."

Su Cheng Xi held onto Rong Xiu's hand, "Xiu'er, let's not talk about this for now. Uncle Chen at the entrance of the village seems to have been bitten by a snake. At this moment, he's in danger, but the doctor hasn't arrived yet. Go take a look first!"

This was a matter of life and death. Rong Xiu did not want to get angry at the two of them, so she hurriedly followed Su Cheng Xi and ran up the fields.

Old Lady Wang was so angry that her entire body was shaking. "Let's go, Gui Fen. We should go and watch the commotion as well. If this little hoof were to kill her, we could just send her to the yamen!"

"Mother is really smart. What does a peasant woman like her know!" Gui Fen's eyes lit up. The mother and daughter duo, who had ulterior motives, quickly followed.

There were quite a number of people already surrounding the field. They had all gotten up early in the morning to work, and seeing that Uncle Chen had been bitten by a poisonous snake, they had no choice but to surround him.

Su Cheng Xi pushed through the crowd and said in a clear voice: "Everyone, please step aside and let my wife see this."

"Cheng Xi, does your wife even know how to treat patients?" Someone in the crowd said.

Another person tugged at Su Chengxi's sleeve: "Cheng Xi, although saving a person's life is better than creating a seven-level pagoda, you better not cause trouble for yourself. If you can cure it, then that's fine, but if you can't, then I'm afraid you won't be able to say it even if you can't.

However, whether it was Su Cheng Xi or Rong Xiu, both of them placed saving first in their hearts.

Rong Xiu bent down, looking at the uncle Chen lying on the ground, only to see two clear teeth marks on his lower leg.

Under the skin, there were two deep grooves hidden behind the teeth marks. Clearly, the wound was turning blue. The snake had bitten it without a mistake, and it was even the Silver Ringed Snake that did.

The venom of the Many-Banded Krait was so strong that it could kill anyone in four hours. Rong Xiu hurriedly said, "Everyone, how long has it been since Uncle Chen was bitten?"

"This... Who knows? I came here at the third hour of the year, and I haven't seen Boss Chen since then. "

"I saw Old Chief Chen lying here when I was in Chen. By the looks of it, it's been almost four hours, right?"

Rong Xiu knew that she couldn't afford to delay any longer, so she pursed her lips, "Everyone, I have a presumptuous request, please go and search for it. If there is a lair of the Many-Banded Krait, then it would be best to go to the river and search for it …"

"This little hoof is probably trying to lure everyone to be bitten by a snake!" "I advise everyone not to listen to this little hoof's nonsense. The poison of Yin Huan, in the past, anyone in our village would have been bitten to death. She is luring everyone to their deaths!"

"When everyone heard this, they could not help but have a look of doubt on their faces. They looked at each other and did not move a single step." "Saving a person is like saving a fire. The snake has been around for a long time. If it wasn't for that poisonous snake biting someone today, we would all be in danger of losing our lives in the future." Su Cheng Xi slowly explained the situation to everyone.

Soon, someone responded, "What are we afraid of? We just need to shine our eyes a little. If we see the Many-Banded Krait, we can run. We don't need to go up and do anything."

Very soon, a few of the more experienced young men nodded their heads. Carrying their hoes, they walked along the fields until they were near the river bank.

Rong Xiu used her fingers to press down on Uncle Chen's blood vessels, which had a dark purple hue. She quickly pulled out a few pieces of cloth and stuck them into the arteries and veins near Uncle Chen's wounds, temporarily delaying the onset of the venom.

On the other side, Su Cheng Xi took the risk and arrived at the riverbank. Not long after, someone discovered the lair of the Many-Banded Krait.

"Master, quickly look for it. There is no large leaf-side lotus beside the snake. The leaves are long and wide, and the flowers grow on the stem." Rong Xiu raised her voice and shouted towards the river bank.

Su Cheng Xi hurriedly searched the ground. Sure enough, there were several clusters of herbs mentioned by Rong Xiu. He quickly pulled out the herbs and returned them to Rong Xiu's side.

Within the ten steps of a venomous snake, there were often antidotes. These leaves were excellent antidotes for detoxification, Rong Xiu didn't even hesitate as she took out the flower and placed it in Uncle Chen's mouth. Then, she crushed the leaf and placed it on Uncle Chen's wound.

The slightly reddened skin on the wound meant that the venom of the snake had been neutralized. Even so, he couldn't let his guard down.

There was still some venom in Uncle Chen's blood vessels, which could not be resolved by applying it internally or externally. Only by sucking it out would it be possible.

Rong Xiu was about to lower her head to suck out the venom from within the heart of the so called doctor's parents.

Unexpectedly, Su Cheng Xi stopped her, "Xiu'er, let me do it. You're a girl, and can't do all these things."

Seeing the concern in Su Cheng Xi's eyes, Rong Xiu also understood most of it. Warmth filled her heart, and she once again placed the big leaf half-lotus into Su Cheng Xi's mouth: "Master, take these leaves."

Su Cheng Xi nodded. He placed the leaf on his tongue and lowered his head to look at the wound on Uncle Chen's leg. After taking a few breaths, the thick, fishy blood was sucked out along with the venom.

He had roamed the world for many years, so it could be said that he had some experience.

"Look, Uncle Chen's complexion is much better!" Not long after, someone from the crowd shouted.

Sure enough, Uncle Chen's slightly swollen, slightly bruised face had turned pale, but it was clear that most of the poison had already dissipated.

"What are you doing?!" A sharp voice transmitted through the crowd, and then a soft hiss sounded: "You actually did this to my father-in-law! Go and invite the doctor! "

This voice sounded especially noisy. Rong Xiu stood up, and in front of her stood a woman wearing red embroidered shoes. She saw that the shoes were shiny, and must have been made recently.
