HCB Chapter 324 Snake Scale Grass
Chapter 324 Snake Scale Grass
Soon, two people tied up Xu Lin. Their actions were very rough and they showed no mercy. After all, in their eyes, Xu Lin was a traitor!
At this time, the Jiang family's doctor also arrived.
At that time, Lin Yusheng frowned, feeling a little pain in the wound, and his body felt a little cold.
Jiang Cixi coaxed her softly and concernedly, "Ali, it's okay, the doctor is here..."
The Jiang family's doctor was also very experienced. He observed the arrow in Lin Yusheng's abdomen and breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, it's not a vital part."
But the next second, he saw a mouthful of black blood flowing out of the girl's mouth, and then she fainted, and he was shocked.
Jiang Cixi was horrified when she saw Lin Yusheng faint, and she called out anxiously, "Ali! What happened to you?"
"Quick! Check what happened to her? Why did she faint?"
"This arrow is poisonous!" the doctor said decisively.
After saying that, he quickly took Lin Yusheng's pulse and observed her wound, only to see that the blood flowing out of the wound was already black.
"This...this poison is probably difficult to cure..."
The doctor's face grew serious.
When Jiang Cixi heard this, her heart sank.
At this moment, Li Fei also remembered that Xu Lin had just said that the arrow was poisonous. He rushed over, grabbed Li Fei's sleeve, and hissed, "Do you know what kind of poison is on the arrow?"
Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Xu Lin.
Xu Lin shook his head painfully, "I don't know."
"You were the one who asked those archers to put poison on the arrows. Didn't you give them the poison?"
When everyone heard Li Fei's question, they looked at Xu Lin with even more disbelief.
what? !
Not only did Xu Lin send in archers to kill Miss Cixi and the eldest lady, he also specifically asked them to smear poison on the arrows?
This is so vicious!
Everyone looked at Xu Lin as if they wanted to eat him alive!
Xu Lin felt as if a thorn in his back, and he spoke with difficulty, "I gave them the poison, but...but I bought the poison from the black market. I don't know what it is, and the person who sold it to me didn't tell me."
Moreover, those sharpshooters were also introduced by the drug dealer.
After all, archers are not that easy to find. The man said that he could find a few top archers for him, and he agreed.
At this moment, Xu Lin suddenly realized something and found something wrong...
It turned out that he was also deceived.
"Ha ha……"
Xu Lin smiled bitterly twice, and a feeling of despair rose in his heart.
What on earth did he do...
"If we don't know what the poison is, that would be tricky."
"Hurry, send the young lady down the mountain and let Dr. Jiang Guang take out the arrow from her body first! Also, Li Fei, go and ask Xie Lanshan, the head of the Xie family, to come over immediately." The doctor ordered in an orderly manner.
Treat the wound first, then detoxify.
For now, that's all.
Although the Xie family is not a poison family like the Cui family, the head of the Xie family, Xie Lanshan, also likes to study some knowledge about poisons, and the Xie family has a very good relationship with the Jiang family.
Maybe Xie Lanshan can find a way to detoxify.
Now, we can only hold on to this glimmer of hope.
Jiang Cixi immediately sent Lin Yusheng to the hospital at the foot of the mountain. Jiang Guang had received the news long ago and immediately pushed Lin Yusheng to the operating room to treat her wounds.
The arrow was still stuck in Lin Yusheng's body, but treating an arrow wound was not a big problem for an experienced surgeon like Jiang Guang.
A moment later, Jiang Guang came out of the operating room.
"The wound has been treated, but this poison..."
First of all, we need to find out what kind of poison it is. This must be determined by a professional who is proficient in detoxification. After confirming what the poison is, we can prescribe the right medicine to detoxify it.
"Is there no way you can deal with this poison?" Jiang Cixi asked with a glimmer of hope.
Jiang Guang shook his head. "I'm sorry, Miss Cixi, but detoxification is not something I'm proficient in."
Poison makers and detoxifiers were very common in Beihanzhou a thousand years ago.
However, with the development of the times, few people will study these things, and everyone focuses on science and technology and economic development.
Furthermore, most people in ancient martial arts are very disgusted with people who use poison, and believe that using poison is not a glorious means, so there are even fewer poison makers and detoxifiers.
Among the seven great families today, the Cui family is probably the only one that is still carefully studying some unconventional poisons.
And everyone knows that the drugs traded on the black market now basically come from the Cui family, who are accustomed to using poison trading to make profits.
It is even possible that the poison Lin Yusheng was poisoned with was probably developed by the Cui family!
However, Cui Lai, the head of the Cui family, is a narrow-minded person. He had been holding a grudge against the Jiang family because of some issues regarding the distribution of family interests, and the two families had become enemies. Therefore, Cui Lai was probably unwilling to come and detoxify the Jiang family.
At this moment, Li Fei's voice came: "Miss Cixi, I have invited the head of the Xie family!"
Li Fei led a middle-aged man over.
The middle-aged man had a gentle appearance, was modest as jade, and spoke in a soft voice.
That’s right, Xie Lanshan.
The Xie family is also one of the seven great families.
"Ms. Cixi, I heard someone in your Jiang family was poisoned?"
Jiang Cixi nodded and immediately invited him into the ward. "Please, Patriarch Xie, please help check what kind of poison this is and see if there is an antidote."
Xie Lanshan entered the ward and was stunned when he saw the face of an unfamiliar girl.
Because he remembered that the Jiang family didn't seem to have such a person.
But soon, he focused his attention on the girl's wound.
After observing the wound and taking the pulse, Xie Lanshan said, "I'm not that deep into poison research, but I suspect the poison this girl was poisoned with is related to the snake scale grass."
"What is snake scale grass?"
Everyone in the Jiang family was confused when they heard this, after all, they really didn't know much about this.
"Snake scale grass is a poisonous grass native to the jungles of the southwestern region of Beihan Continent. It has a saw-toothed appearance. Locals in that area often get scratched by this grass when they venture into the jungle. Those scratched by snake scale grass quickly become poisoned and die within a few hours. As such cases became more common, it was gradually discovered that this snake scale grass is extremely poisonous."
"Snake scale grass is supposedly extinct four hundred years ago, but it's possible someone is still cultivating this poisonous grass and using it to make poison. A victim will fall into a coma within ten minutes, and then the poison will invade their internal organs within three hours. In other words, from poisoning to death, it won't take more than three hours."
Through his observation just now, Xie Lanshan roughly determined that it had been about an hour since the girl was poisoned.
So Xie Lanshan's expression became serious as he said, "If we want to detoxify, we only have two hours left."
Jiang Cixi asked anxiously, "Does Patriarch Xie have any way to detoxify?"
Xie Lanshan shook his head. "I'm sorry, Miss Cixi. If it were any other common poison, I might be able to give it a try, but snake scale grass is so rare that I can't cure it."
But he offered a suggestion, "Perhaps Cui Lai can solve it."
After all, the Cui family is a family of poisons, and Cui Lai is very proficient in the research of poisons. It is even very likely that the Cui family secretly cultivated this snake scale grass!
