Chapter 494 Snake Venom
Wei Yang really couldn't stand listening anymore. These rough men didn't think about other things in their minds.
"Shut up! Master won't think about these nonsense all day long like you. How can you insult such a glorious person? Be careful, I will expose you in front of Master!"
"Scream, Wei Yang, you kid, do you want to betray the brothers and go to the master to ask for credit? Haha, the master doesn't care what we talk about behind our backs. He is also a man. It would be strange if he doesn't want to do that. I heard that the master has someone in his family. She is a beautiful lady, and the master loves her very much. When he comes to the military camp, he sends letters back every now and then."
Another soldier smiled and said: "This is most likely true. I once saw the master reading a letter in the camp with a smile on his face. When have you ever seen the master smile?"
Wei Yang frowned: "How come I've never heard of it?"
He actually got a wife? Why did my brother never say anything about this?
"How long have you been here? We heard about it when we first entered the military camp."
"What are you brats talking about here?" Ying Qi walked straight over.
Seeing Ying Qi coming, several people hurriedly saluted Ying Qi with fists in their hands.
"General Seven, we are discussing taking a bath."
Ying Qi glanced at everyone: "Go quickly, it will be completely dark in a while, be careful there are water snakes in the river."
"Okay, let's go right away."
Several people walked together towards the river outside the military camp. At this time, a large number of soldiers went there to take a bath.
Fortunately, this river is a living water flowing in the mountains. Otherwise, if more than 20,000 soldiers come here to bathe every day, this river will catch up with the Ganges.
"Why don't you go with them?" Ying Qi saw Wei Yang who had not left.
Wei Yang retracted his thoughts: "Reporting to the general, I feel a little unwell so I won't take a cold shower."
Ying Qi didn't think too much and learned that Wei Yang was sent by Wei Zhao, so he was quite polite to her.
"Since you feel unwell, go back and rest early. If you really can't hold it any longer, go to Dr. Meng's place to have a look."
Doctor Meng was a refugee who fled into the mountains this time. Because of his good medical skills, he was left in the military camp to become a military doctor.
"Thank you for your concern, General Seven. I have nothing to do with my job. Maybe it's because of the hot weather. I just need to rest for a night."
"That's fine."
Ying Qi turned around to leave, but Wei Yang hurriedly chased after him.
"Seventh General, I just heard from Sun Laoliu and others that my master is married. Is it true?"
Ying Qi glanced at Wei Yang: "You guys are quite gossipy. Are you allowed to inquire about the master's affairs?"
Wei Yang pretended to be naive: "Hey, I just don't believe what they say. How can the master get married at such a young age?"
"The master hasn't married yet, but he should be soon."
Based on the master's fondness for Miss Yan, he wished he could go back and arrange the wedding earlier. Now he was just waiting for Miss Yan to nod.
Wei Yang slowed down, feeling as if there was a heavy weight on his heart.
It seems that what they said is true. Little Ah Qi actually already has a woman he likes.
Late night
Suddenly there was an exclamation in the camp. Several soldiers lying on the bed were startled and hurriedly got up from their wooden beds. Someone was the first to take out a fire stick and light it.
"what happened?"
Wei Yang pointed at the twisting black shadow on the ground in shock.
"Snake, there's a snake!"
Sun Laoliu glanced at the ground, his eyes suddenly turned into bells, he muttered a few curse words, took out his saber and slashed at the snake's body.
The spotted snake was very nimble. When it sensed the approaching danger, it jumped up on the ground, opened its mouth and bit hard at the back of Sun Laoliu's hand holding the knife.
"Hey, little beast, you dare to bite your grandpa. Let's see if grandpa doesn't crush your snake waist."
Others also came forward at this time. Sun Laoliu pinched the seven inches of the spotted snake with one hand, threw it to the ground, raised his big feet and stepped on it. The same happened to the spotted snake. Extremely ferocious, he turned over and jumped up again to bite his ankle hard.
"Ouch, this beast's reaction is so damn fast!"
Sun Laoliu screamed in pain, and the others hurriedly raised their knives and slashed hard at the spotted snake. The sharp blade hit the spot seven inches in the middle. The spotted snake was cut into two pieces, and a stream of blood spurted out. After twisting on the ground for a long time, he gradually stopped.
"Wei Yang, why do you look so ugly? Sun Laoliu, your face..."
Wei Yang felt his eyes spinning, and his body fell down weakly. Sun Laoliu was stronger, but gradually felt sore and weak.
"Damn it, this is a poisonous snake. Quick, go and ask Doctor Meng to come over."
Jiang Ci was awakened by the sound of hurried footsteps outside. He sat up and took a look outside.
"What's going on outside?"
The guard on duty said: "A soldier was bitten by a poisonous snake. I asked Doctor Meng to come over and check the situation."
Jiang Ci pondered for a moment, got up from the bed, put on a coat and walked out of the tent.
Not far away, Doctor Meng, Huan Ying, Ying Qi and others hurried towards one of the camps.
When Jiang Ci arrived, Doctor Meng was checking Wei Yang's injuries when a poisonous snake bit her arm. Doctor Meng glanced at the fair arm and then looked up at Wei Yang's dark face.
"Your skin is fair and delicate, why is your face so dark?"
Wei Yang laughed twice, "I almost lost my life after getting a strange disease when I was a child. Later, my parents took me to find a miracle doctor to treat the disease. After taking the medicine he gave me, my condition improved, but my face began to look worse and worse. The darker it gets, the more it gradually looks like this.
Doctor Meng did not doubt Wei Yang after hearing his explanation.
There are many difficult and complicated diseases in this world. Just because he has never heard of them does not mean that he does not have them.
"master."
Seeing Jiang Ci walk in, everyone in the tent stood up. Wei Yang and Sun Laoliu each sat on their own wooden beds and wanted to stand up and salute. Jiang Ci waved his hand to signal them to sit down.
"Doctor Meng, how is the situation?"
Doctor Meng looked solemn: "It's a five-step snake. If the antidote cannot be prepared within two quarters of an hour, the situation will be very bad."
When they heard about the five-step snake, everyone's expressions became solemn.
The faces of Wei Yang and Sun Laoliu began to turn purple, and their breathing gradually became difficult.
Jiang Ci thought of the interpretation pill given by Yan Shu. He took out a bottle of medicine from his sleeve pocket, poured out two pills and handed them to Dr. Meng.
"Feed them first and give it a try. If it doesn't work, immediately take people to the nearby mountains to find the antidote."
"What is this medicine?" Doctor Meng handed the pill to the tip of his nose and sniffed it, and a strange medicinal fragrance hit his nostrils.
"This is an antidote pill that can detoxify most poisons."
Dr. Meng's cloudy eyes suddenly lit up: "Since it is an antidote, even if it cannot eradicate the poison of the five-step snake, it may be able to prolong the time for the poison to develop, which will give us enough time to find an antidote."
After saying this, Doctor Meng fed the medicine to Wei Yang and Sun Laoliu, and asked the medicine boy to prepare two large bowls of water for them to take.
After the two took the antidote, everyone in the camp began to wait quietly. About a quarter of an hour later, Dr. Meng saw that their complexions had improved and their breathing had gradually become smoother, with a look of surprise on his face.
Doctor Meng stepped forward to diagnose the two men again, and was surprised to find that the snake venom on their bodies was gradually reducing.
"It's incredible. This detoxifying pill seems to really be able to detoxify the five-step snake!"
The others were actually relieved after hearing this.
Wei Yang felt that her body had regained some strength, and she looked directly at Jiang Ci.
"Thank you, Master, for the medicine, otherwise Brother Sun and I would have to be responsible for our lives today."
Sun Laoliu also hurriedly thanked Jiang.
Jiang Ci glanced at the two of them calmly.
"Now that the poison has been cured, we can rest well tonight. Doctor Meng, take good care of the two of us."
"Yes!"
Jiang Ci left the camp after giving his instructions, and Huan Ying and Ying Qi followed him out.
"Tomorrow I will take some people to check the area carefully to ensure that nothing like this happens again."
"Subordinates take orders!"
