Fleeing from famine! A rough hunter has a fox husband
Chapter 42: Risky Herb Hunting
"Let's all look for herbs nearby. If we find some herbs, we can cure it. Otherwise, the wound will be poisoned and fester."
"Doctor Qin, what kind of herbs?"
After hearing this, Qin Ji described to everyone the herbal medicine he had seen in the medical book that was specifically used to treat poisonous spider bites.
The others went to look for it according to what he said, and Shen Nuo also opened the panel.
[Tongtong, there are so many green spots, and I only have three chances to check. How can I find exactly what I want? ]
819: [Currently there are only three chances. If the host wants more chances to check, he can also exchange them. Ten taels of silver will give you one more chance, and it is permanent.]
Shen Nuo: [Okay, it doesn’t seem too expensive. ]
He looked at the balance in the space and did not choose to redeem it immediately.
Instead, he tried to click on one of the green spots.
But what is displayed above is: wild Gastrodia elata…
It was useful, but it was not what Shen Nuo was looking for, so he clicked on another one.
This time it's not what they are looking for.
The last time, Shen Nuo admitted that there was a gambling element involved.
I once heard from my master that the antidote to poisonous weeds usually grows near them.
Shen Nuo wondered if the antidote would grow near the poisonous spider's nest?
Thinking of this, he clicked on the green light spot closest to the spider's nest.
Sure enough, I saw a small patch of herbs with purple flowers, which was the antidote to the poisonous spider that Qin Ji mentioned.
Shen Nuo looked at Qin Yan. He couldn't just say he knew where it was, so he could only say:
"I think I saw some wild grass with purple flowers over there. How about we go over there and take a look?"
After saying this, he looked to the other side with a guilty conscience, without even looking at Qin Yan.
"Okay, but you are not allowed to go to dangerous places."
"Okay, I'll just go check it out."
Just as Shen Nuo was about to leave, Qin Yan picked him up.
"Your ankle isn't fully healed yet, and it's hard to walk here. Let me hold you."
Shen Nuo nodded and had no objection.
"Go this way." He pointed Qin Yan in the direction.
After a while, Qin Yan stopped because he clearly saw that the vines on the tree trunk were covered with spiders.
And where the spiders are most densely populated on the vines, there is a huge nest.
It goes without saying that it is the home of a poisonous spider.
"Look, it's that little purple flower under that tree."
Shen Nuo said in a low voice, then raised his hand and pointed at a tree next to the poisonous spider's nest.
Qin Yan looked over and indeed saw the small purple flower.
He didn't go there, and he didn't allow Shen Nuo to go there.
He just turned around and walked back, and soon returned to the place where he had parked the donkey cart.
"The wound is getting worse, Doctor Qin. My husband has fainted. What should I do... wuwuwu..."
The husband of the man who was bitten first kept crying, but the people around them said that no one had found the herbal remedy.
Qin Yan put Shen Nuo on the donkey cart, went over to say a few words to Qin Ji, and pointed in the direction they had just returned from.
Qin Ji heard this and said hurriedly:
"Then let's go and have a look. We must pick that herb."
Having said that, he asked the families of the injured and some men to go over there.
After arriving there, everyone looked at the densely packed poisonous spiders that could fall at any time, and they couldn't help but gasp and got goose bumps all over their bodies.
The thought of having these things crawling all over my body makes my scalp tingle.
"How do we dig those herbs?"
Someone couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
Fang Chengping's husband then stepped forward and said:
"I'll go dig."
After saying that, he was about to go over with a small hoe in his hand.
But the old man next to him pulled him back.
"What if you get bitten if you go over there? I'd better go. I'm too old and I'm not afraid anymore."
"Oh, what are you talking about? How can I let you go?"
He was so anxious that tears were streaming down his face.
"How about we take precautions before going over?"
Shen Nuo whispered.
Qin Ji was also thinking about what medicine could repel spiders.
But there is no clue.
Hearing Shen Nuo say this, he looked at him and said hurriedly:
"Noge, what can you do?"
Shen Nuo thought for a moment and said:
"I've read in a book before that spiders are afraid of the smell of realgar powder. We can sprinkle some realgar powder on our bodies. We can also wrap a cloth around our heads and tie up our sleeves and trouser legs."
This was the way he used to collect honey in his previous life. These spiders probably wouldn't dare to come near him.
And realgar powder does have the effect of repelling spiders.
"I think this method is feasible, let's do it."
Before Qin Liang could speak, the families of other injured people agreed.
"I'll go, Ah Ma, help me tie my sleeves."
Fang Chengping's husband immediately did what Shen Nuo said.
The families of several other injured people also followed his example and tied up their sleeves and trouser legs with ropes.
He also wrapped his head, neck, face, and even his hands with a cloth.
This was not enough, Qin Ji sprinkled some realgar powder on them.
A few people walked over slowly with sickles in their hands.
The spider in the tree didn't seem to notice anyone approaching.
The few of them successfully dug up several herbs in a row.
However, before they could be happy, a spider as big as an adult's fist crawled out of the nest.
The villagers who were watching here were so frightened when they saw this scene that they almost screamed.
Fortunately, there were calm people who covered those people's mouths.
So as not to alarm the spiders.
But the spider kept crawling forward, and the small spiders around it were knocked down by it.
Several of them happened to land on Fang Chengping's husband Guan Lin. He seemed to have felt the spiders crawling on his head and immediately stopped all movements.
The spider seemed to be stimulated by the realgar powder. It crawled from his body to his head and then to his face.
Guan Lin could only close his eyes tightly, holding back the tears that were about to flow out of fear, and stood there motionless.
People who saw this scene were so scared that they dared not look at it, and some even turned their faces away.
But strangely, the poisonous spider quickly fell to the ground.
Guan Lin immediately slowly raised his foot and walked a few steps to the side, ignoring the tears that kept falling, and continued to dig herbs quickly.
In just a quarter of an hour, everyone felt as if more than ten years had passed.
Fortunately, everyone came out safely with the herbs.
For someone who is afraid of bugs, this is the stuff of nightmares.
After Guan Lin and his companions came out, their legs were still shaking, and they had to rely on the villagers to help them return to the camp.
After returning, Qin Ji and Qin Zuo directed the injured's family members to clean the herbs, crush them and apply them on their wounds.
Some of the herbs were boiled directly into potion and they were asked to give it to the wounded.
This made him feel more relieved, and he said:
"It should be fine now. Luckily, these spiders are not highly poisonous and won't kill people immediately. Luckily, I found the medicine in time, otherwise I would have no other options."
