Chapter 80 Curing Scorpion Venom
To make matters worse, the heavy rain continued for three days without clearing up.
Zhou Ruo sat on the porch of the main building of Wude Courtyard, looking at the gray sky, and asked Zhao Jinzhong:
"Brother, now that you've opened a clinic, you won't have to worry about rainy days anymore, right?"
Zhao Jinzhong stood beside her, stretched his hand out into the rain, felt the raindrops on his palm for a moment, and slowly said:
"Yes, you can rest directly in the clinic if you are tired, and seriously ill patients can also stay in the clinic."
Zhou Ruo really didn't know these things.
In her previous life, she personally visited the people in her sect to treat their illnesses.
It is also very convenient to move around. It can fly on a sword when it is far away and teleport when it is close. It is very fast. No one has to worry if someone suddenly falls ill.
Unlike here, riding a horse is the fastest way, and besides, her small body can't ride by herself, so she has to take a carriage.
If she opened a clinic, patients would come to her for treatment, and she wouldn't have to worry about the distance.
Seeing her lost in thought and silent, Zhao Jinzhong assumed she was starting to worry again, so he comforted her:
"Don't worry, Ruoruo, there's always a way!"
Fearing his words might seem weak, he emphasized again, "There will definitely be a way!"
No sooner had Zhao Jinzhong finished speaking than footsteps echoed in the courtyard.
The sound of hurried footsteps pounding through the puddles quickly reached Zhao Jinzhong's ears.
"Young General! Miss!" The servant who ran to deliver the message soon appeared in Zhao Jinzhong and Zhou Ruo's sight.
The visitor was a guard at the gate of the general's mansion. He wiped the rainwater off his face with his already wet sleeve.
He swallowed hard, panting, and said:
"Young General, more than a dozen people have arrived outside. They say someone has been poisoned and they need Miss's help."
"We couldn't stop them, and we checked them. Several people were unconscious, which seemed like poisoning. Considering that lives were at stake, we came to report this."
Zhao Jinzhong glanced at Zhou Ruo, then at the sky, and gave instructions to the guards:
"Let them all come in and wait on the porch by the door. Send more men. Miss and I will be there right away."
Upon receiving the order, the guard immediately returned to make arrangements.
"Brother, let's go quickly!" Hearing that someone had come to her for treatment, Zhou Ruo's spirits immediately lifted.
Zhao Jinzhong carried her on his back, held up an umbrella, and hurried towards the mansion gate.
Zhou Ruo lay on Zhao Jinzhong's back, anxiously looking towards the gate of the mansion.
As the two approached the corridor of the mansion gate, Zhou Ruo immediately spotted Cao Lin, whom she had saved at the stall that day.
"Brother, it's that uncle who's suffering from tuberculosis poisoning!" Zhou Ruo said to Zhao Jinzhong, pointing at Cao Lin.
Cao Lin and his group of more than ten people included seven or eight who had been poisoned and were all carried over by villagers.
Led by Cao Lin, everyone gathered together, anxiously waiting for Zhou Ruo to arrive, like ants on a hot pan.
"They're here! The little miracle doctor is here!" Cao Lin exclaimed excitedly when he saw Zhao Jinzhong carrying Zhou Ruo over.
"What brings so many people to the General's Mansion?" Zhao Jinzhong asked Cao Lin after putting Zhou Ru down.
Before Cao Lin could even explain, Zhou Ruo exclaimed "Wow!" and grabbed Zhao Jinzhong's hand to tell him:
"Brother, those guys have all been poisoned by scorpions!"
Cao Lin stood there stunned, while Zhou Ruo had already jogged over and arrived in front of the poisoned person.
"What's the situation with these people?" Zhao Jinzhong asked Cao Lin.
"Reporting to the young general, I...I brought a few villagers to raise scorpions together, and the villagers were accidentally stung."
"I...I was poisoned before, also because I was stung by a scorpion."
Cao Lin stammered, feeling very uneasy. Raising scorpions was inherently a dangerous business, and it would make others feel uneasy if they heard about it.
Several years ago, he heard that raising scorpions could make money, so he risked it to start raising scorpions for a living.
He did make a lot of money in the past two years. When some villagers found out, they asked Cao Lin to lead them to work together.
However, even Cao Lin and the others had not fully mastered the methods to prevent scorpion stings, and one after another they were stung.
When Cao Lin first found Li Wan'an, he didn't know he had been poisoned by scorpions; he only knew he had tuberculosis.
Li Wan'an was also unable to determine what kind of poison he had been poisoned with, since he couldn't even cure tuberculosis, let alone reach the point of needing to be detoxified.
Later, Zhou Ruo unexpectedly cured him and told him that he had been poisoned by scorpion venom, and that's when he found out.
After returning to the village, Cao Lin discovered that his companions who had been raising scorpions had also been poisoned.
He went to Zhou Ruo's stall in the city for three consecutive days to look for her, but he couldn't find her.
People around him told him that Zhou Ruo was a young lady from the General's Mansion.
In desperation, he had no choice but to bring his companions to the general's mansion.
He was determined to try, even at the risk of his life. He believed that if Zhou Ruo knew someone was poisoned, she would definitely not stand by and watch them die.
Zhou Ruo counted the people lying on the ground; there were eight in total, all emanating black smoke, indicating they were severely poisoned!
Fortunately, these eight people were only poisoned by scorpion venom, unlike Cao Lin who also carried other illnesses.
Zhou Ruoxiao quickly came up with a good idea.
Hehe, she inserted a silver needle into each person's chest, then stood in front of them and silently uttered a single word, "Collect!"
The scorpion venom on the eight people slowly gathered at the tip of the needle.
Zhou Ruo stepped forward and, while collecting the needles, absorbed all the scorpion venom from those people into her spiritual power.
The people on the ground opened their eyes one after another. Zhou Ruo paused for a moment and exhaled a breath of black gas.
"Ruo Ruo, what's wrong with you?" Zhao Jinzhong asked worriedly as he saw her exhaling black smoke.
Zhou Ruo looked delighted and whispered to Zhao Jinzhong, "Brother, I've collected all the scorpion venom!"
As Zhao Jinzhong recalled how Zhou Ruo had absorbed the poison of those three creatures into his own use in the woods near the military camp, he exhaled a mouthful of frosty air.
"Can your body handle it?" Zhao Jinzhong was still a little worried.
"Brother, you can handle it, it's very nourishing!" Zhou Ruo said, becoming happier and happier.
Cao Lin watched as Zhou Ruo managed to wake up his companions who had been unconscious for several days in less than a quarter of an hour.
He was shocked and asked Zhou Ruo in disbelief, "Little...little miracle doctor, they...they're all...all better?"
"Yes! Everything's ready!"
When Zhou Ruo heard from Zhao Jinzhong that Cao Lin and the others were raising scorpions, she drew a talisman for each of them to prevent them from being poisoned by scorpions again.
After processing, the scorpions raised by Cao Lin and his friends were sold to pharmacies or doctors, where they were considered excellent medicinal materials.
Zhou Ruo also wanted to collect those scorpions, but after all, they were Cao Lin and his men's livelihood, and she couldn't touch them.
With an excited heart and trembling hands, Cao Lin took out a small bag of loose silver from his pocket and handed it to Zhou Ruo.
"Little miracle doctor, you saved my life last time, and I haven't paid you back yet."
You've saved so many of your companions again; we have no way to repay you! This is just a small token of our appreciation; please accept it!
"What is this?" Zhou Ruo had never seen silver before.
Zhao Jinzhong stepped forward and said, "Ruoruo will charge three coins per person for treatment. There are several of you, so it won't cost that much."
