It was already evening when we returned to Huaishu Village.

The afterglow of the setting sun fills the locust trees in the west of the village, and the sunset glow on the horizon makes Jiazi Mountain red.

Yan Shu and Yaya got off the Liu family's carriage and walked toward the entrance of the village carrying the things rewarded by the Liu family.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the oil workshop, he saw Cuizhi running out in a hurry and almost bumped into Yan Shu.

"Oh, Yan Shu, you are back." Cuizhi recounted the major events that happened in the village today as if she had found a savior.

"What? Aunt Zhou and her family have all fainted? Why?"

"I don't know either. I just know that when my Asheng went to deliver oil to their house this afternoon, everyone in the room collapsed." Cuizhi continued.

"Oh, you don't know that A Sheng was so scared that her legs were weak, so she ran outside and happened to meet Er Gouzi next door to her."

"The two of them went in to take a look again. All five members of Aunt Zhou's family were still breathing, but they couldn't be woken up. Later, the villagers went to notify Chen Sanpi, the doctor in Aozi Village, to come and take a look."

Yan Shu asked eagerly: "What's the result? Have you figured out the reason?"

"I just didn't see the reason, that's why people are worried! Why don't you follow me now to check out the situation."

Cuizhi didn't care to talk to Yan Shu anymore, picked up the oil lamp in her hand and walked forward quickly.

Yan Shu threw down her things and pulled Yaya to quickly follow Cuizhi and run towards Aunt Zhou's house.

As soon as she arrived at the door of Aunt Zhou's house, Yan Shu saw a dark crowd of people surrounding the yard. In addition to the people in this village, there is also a Taoist priest.

Aunt Zhou, her son, wife, and two children, a total of five people, have been placed together.

The Taoist priest practiced the method and recited the incantation at the same time, but it was of no use.

Yan Shu handed Yaya to Cuizhi, put on the oil lamp, and got into the crowd to check the specific situation of several people.

"The face is flushed, the lips are purple, and there is residual vomit in the mouth. Typical symptoms of food poisoning." After the examination, Yan Shu probably confirmed the cause of the disease in her heart.

"Brother Chen, did you find any other abnormalities when you came today?"

"I don't know either. When we arrived, a few of them collapsed in the yard. They couldn't wake up even if they screamed. It was so scary!"

"Well, I see."

Er Gouzi next to him said: "The doctor has already come and said that there is no way to save him."

Yan Shu ignored it and walked straight into the house, but found nothing.

She then searched around the kitchen again, and finally found a few mushroom legs with mud in the vegetable basket.

Yan Shu turned around and ran back to the yard, asking, "Where did you first find them in the yard when you came today?"

"It's right there, near the door of the hut. They are basically in that position."

"Okay, I understand." Yan Shu quickly pushed through the crowd. Checked carefully at the door of the latrine and inside the latrine. Finally found clues.

It turned out that everyone was busy dragging the person to the middle of the yard, and did not notice that Aunt Zhou's family had vomiting and diarrhea before she fell into coma.

"It's 100% certain that it's food poisoning." Yan Shu already had a cure in mind.

"Which of you has malt candies? Hurry up and bring them over and make some warm water for each of them to drink!"

"Yes! Yes!" The speaker was Ergouzi's wife, who was not far from Zhou's natal home.

"Brother Chen, please take care of me here! I have to go home immediately to get some medicine. Remember to give them more warm water later!"

Chen Sheng asked in disbelief: "Is there really hope? The doctor even said there is nothing we can do!"

"Listen to me! There is help, but these are a few lives. We can't give up so easily. I won't tell you more now, I'll be right back!"

Chen Sheng nodded, and Yan Shu walked through the crowd to go home and get the medicine.

"Mother, mother, where are you going? I'm going!"

Yaya cried and sobbed.

Yan Shu was so anxious to save people just now that she completely forgot that her daughter was still beside her. It would be strange for such a young child not to be scared when he saw several human bodies lying motionless on the ground.

"Yaya, it's okay, don't cry. Granny Zhou and the others won't die!"

"I'm going home now to get some medicine to save them. Be obedient and wait for me here with Aunt Cuizhi. I'll be back soon."

Yan Shu didn't care to say a few more words to Yaya, she told Cuizhi and hurriedly ran to her home.

It was about three miles from Aunt Zhou's house to Yan Shu's house, and Yan Shu trotted all the way. For the first time, she felt that time had passed so long!

Although it's not far, at this important moment when life is at stake, you are fighting death every second.

By the time she rushed to her home, Yan Shu was already sweating profusely.

Not caring about resting, she dug out dried Chinese herbal medicines such as Aesculus aesculata and Centella asiatica from the woodshed.

By the time we returned to Aunt Zhou's yard, a quarter of an hour had passed.

Chen Sheng had already fed Aunt Zhou and the others warm sugar water according to Yan Shu's request. Other people in the village also helped move all the lying members of the family into beds inside the house.

Yan Shu had already ordered the helpers to go to the kitchen to boil water and prepare medicine.

The Taoist priest who did the trick saw that everyone didn't believe him, so he made an excuse and ran away as soon as Yan Shu left the courtyard.

The villagers who were watching were dubious. Who would believe that a vulnerable widow could save someone.

After Yan Shu gave medicine to the people lying down, she explained to everyone: "Aunt Zhou and her family will wake up in half an hour. They are just in a dehydration coma caused by eating poisonous food."

Seeing Yan Shu's vow, the villagers began to believe her statement. After all, being able to bring people back to life is considered a skill!

Sure enough, within half an hour, Aunt Zhou woke up first.

"Ah, I'm not dead yet! Where am I?"

"Aunt Zhou, you are fine. Your whole family will be fine. I have already given medicine to your son, wife, and grandson. They will all wake up later."

"Tell me, did your family start to feel sick after eating mushrooms?"

"Well, I don't know. I went to collect firewood in the field this morning, and I happened to see a bunch of wild fungi. I was thinking of picking them back and giving them to my grandchildren as a tooth ceremony."

"After our family ate at noon, we started to vomit and defecate non-stop. Later, everyone lost energy and fell asleep."

Yan Shu then ordered people to give Aunt Zhou medicine and drink water. Aunt Zhou's condition is getting better and better.

Aunt Zhou's grandson, son and daughter-in-law all woke up one after another.

Only through the people around them told them that it was Yan Shu who saved them.

Aunt Zhou couldn't help but burst into tears, blaming herself for almost killing her family, if it hadn't been for Yan Shu's rescue. The consequences could be disastrous.

When the villagers saw that Aunt Zhou and her family had indeed woken up, they couldn't help but praise Yan Shu for being a miracle doctor who was able to bring youth back to life!

You know, even the doctor said there was no way to save him, and now the man is actually coming back from the dead, isn't it the reincarnation of Hua Tuo?

Yan Shu told the Zhou family to drink plenty of water to detoxify and urinate. After a night of rest, they would be fine tomorrow.

Two hours have passed since I returned to the village in the evening. Yaya has also fallen asleep in Yan Shu's arms.

After coming out of Zhou's house, Cuizhi helped Yan Shu carry things and send Yan Shu and his daughter home.

"Sister Yan Shu, luckily I met you back today and was able to save their lives. I didn't expect you to be so powerful." Cuizhi said with emotion.

"I thought you were a weak woman before and it was difficult to take care of yourself. I didn't expect that you would become completely different in just a few days!"

Of course, Yan Shu couldn't tell her why she was different, so she could only laugh and say some irrelevant words to explain it away.

After returning home and saying goodbye to Cuizhi, Yan Shu also fell on the bed.

Today was indeed a fulfilling day. I didn't stop at Liu's house in the county town. When I came back, I was hurriedly dealing with Aunt Zhou's affairs. My whole body was in a tense state, and it was only now that I relaxed.

The chirping of cicadas seemed particularly hypnotic in the silent leaves, and Yan Shu fell asleep deeply while holding Yaya in her arms.
