Half-baked expert, still learning?

  In the moonlit boudoir of the eastern wing of a thatched cottage.

  The moon's eyes were tightly closed, lying motionless on the bed, covered with a thick layer of quilts, and the thin gauze on her face had been lifted, revealing a large piece of festering skin on her neck.

  The festering area had already eroded onto her cheeks.

  Apricot sat on the edge of the bed, holding her hand, silently shedding tears. Seeing Sun Lang and a few others pushing open the door curtain to come in, she wiped away her tears and said with an unpleasant face: "Don't let you guys in, Moon Sister said so, she doesn't want anyone else to see her like this, hurry up and get out!"

  Sun Langzhong scolded: "Xing Er, your brother-in-law has come to rescue your sister Yue Er, how can you drive him away?"

  Xing'er didn't say another word and covered Yue'er's face with a white veil. She stood up and stepped aside.

  Zhen Ming sighed and asked about the cause of the matter. Sun Lang took a deep breath and roughly recounted what had happened.

  It turned out that Yue Er could no longer bear the suffering of her illness, and relying on the three-legged cat medical skills she had learned from Sun Lang, she forced Xing Er to find some poisonous herbs for her, even saying harsh words that she would not recognize Xing Er as her sister. Xing Er was forced into a corner and had no choice but to secretly steal some herbs from Sun Lang, brew them in water, and feed them to Yue Er.

  But little did she know that the poison's effect was not as intense as she had imagined, instead it made her suffer a fate worse than death, vomiting and diarrhea, convulsions all over her body, unconscious and unresponsive.

  Sun Langzhong returned and found something was wrong, so he questioned Xing'er. However, Xing'er had received Yue'er's last instructions and bit her teeth tightly, refusing to say anything, and also forbade anyone from touching Yue'er.

  Sun Lang spent his whole life practicing medicine, with exceptional medical skills, but he was also helpless. Xing Er's temper was stubborn, and he couldn't scold or punish her to force her to reveal what poisonous medicine she had fed Yue Er. At a loss for what to do, he finally asked Fei Long to find Zhen Ming Su.

  At this time, Sun Lang seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. He sighed and said: "This poor and remote place can't even find someone to help, fortunately, Fei Long has been here for the past few days, so I let him go into the city to find you. I really don't want to trouble you, but I'm really at a loss with this girl."

  The girl on the side led Zhang into the house, found a chair for her to sit down, and poured her a glass of water.

  Zhang didn't urge him to leave either, but instead sat quietly, sipping tea and looking around.

  Zhen Ming endured the bitter words of Sun Langzhong, turned around and walked to Yue'er's side, gently lifted up her sleeve, and on her arm as white as snow, there were small red rashes, like beautiful butterflies scattered on her arm.

  The moon's breath is extremely weak and her life is in danger at any moment.

  "Judging from the symptoms, it's likely that he has been poisoned by a chronic toxin of the corrosive bone class."

  Sun Langzhong was taken aback by the words, in all his years as a doctor, he had never heard of any chronic poison that could rot bones, and suddenly discovered that Zhen Mingxu was intentionally or unintentionally making eye contact with him. Although he didn't know what he meant, he still followed along with his words, pretending to be surprised and asking: "You're talking about the chronic poison that rots bones?"

  Zhen Ming nodded: "Not bad, this kind of poison is generally made from two to three kinds of plants with very small toxicity. After being decocted into medicinal water and taken orally, if only one of the toxicities is present, it will not cause great harm to the human body. At most, it will only cause vomiting, fever, diarrhea, and recovery after a few days. However..."

  "What is it?" Sun Langzhong asked with a tense face.

  "But if the concentrated chronic poison is randomly combined and undergoes a chemical reaction, it may become a deadly poison. However, this poison has a characteristic that others do not: once ingested, it slowly corrodes the internal organs, causing extreme pain for seven days and nights before death. Someone had experimented with feeding a mixture of Aconitum and Digitalis to an animal, which died after suffering greatly. When dissected, its internal organs were found to have liquefied into pus. The feeling of waiting for one's internal organs to be corroded by the poison is unbearable. I wouldn't dare imagine what it would be like if a human had to endure it. In my opinion, Miss Yue's current condition is likely due to accidentally ingesting this mixture of chronic poisons."

  Xing'er, who had been sitting quietly with her head down, trembled slightly at the words.

  Sun Langzhong understood the meaning of Zhen Ming's words at once, and hurriedly followed his lead: "Indeed, medicine is three parts poison. I actually knew about these chronic poisons, but hadn't delved deeply into researching them, never thinking they would have such harm."

  "It's actually very simple to let someone die, I have more than ten methods that can make her die without any pain, there is no need to use this clumsy and painful method. Looking at the current situation, it's likely that by tonight, even a god cannot save her, and we can only watch as she suffers and dies..."

  His words were not yet finished, when Xing Er, with a face full of tears, had already turned around, crying and saying: "Waa... it was Moon Sister who forced me to steal medicine for her, I didn't agree, she scolded me, said I wasn't her sister, watching her suffer with my own eyes, from now on don't recognize me as her sister again, waa... I didn't do it on purpose... I don't want Moon Sister to die, waa..."

  Zhen Ming sighed and said, "Don't cry first, quickly tell Sun Langzhong what medicines you gave to your sister. If we can configure the antidote in time, maybe it's still possible to save her."

  ……

  Xing'er rattled off over a dozen names of medicinal herbs, including Ma Qian Zi, Yang Jiao Ao, Duan Chang Cao, Wu Tou... as long as they were slightly toxic, she mixed them in. What was most laughable and tear-jerking was that apart from these toxic medicinal herbs, Xing'er had also added some sugar cane and red dates, clearly because she was afraid the medicine would be too bitter and had secretly added them for Yue'er's benefit.

  After knowing what medicine Yue'er took, Sun Lang rushed out of the door and went to the pharmacy to prepare an antidote. Zhen Ming then moved the glass products from the donkey cart into the house one by one, and took out his mobile phone to look up emergency treatment methods for poisoning.

  Zhang Shi, who was in a hurry to leave, also stood up and walked to Zhen Mingshu's side, asking softly: "Can I help with anything?"

  Zhen Ming quickly found the first aid manual for food and drug poisoning, read it hastily, and had some idea in his mind. Upon hearing this, he turned around and said: "Just right, you come to help me hold Moon Girl, I want to give Moon Girl a stomach wash later, which may make her very uncomfortable, can you help me press...

  Mrs. Zhang walked up, sat on the bed, held Yue'er in her arms, and let her upper body half-recline in her arms.

  Zhen Ming bitterly turned his head to Xing Er and said: "Don't cry for now, whether your sister can come back to life or not still needs your help. Is there salt in the kitchen at home?"

  "Yes, I'll go get it for you." Xing'er wiped away her tears and was about to run out the door.

  "Wait a minute, go to the kitchen and get two liang of salt, add twenty kilograms of boiling water, mix well after adding some bamboo charcoal powder, remember, it must be in the ratio of two liang of salt to twenty kilograms of boiling water!"

  "Charcoal powder from bamboo?" Xing Er hesitated a little.

  "It's just charcoal made from bamboo, ground into a powder, and when placed in salt water, it helps to absorb toxins. Don't ask any questions now, just do as I say."

  "Got it!" Xing Er responded with a single word and ran out of the door.

  Zhen Ming Kuai opened the self-contained bamboo basket, took out a special glass bottle of more than 500 milliliters made by the iron shop, which contained an unknown transparent liquid.

  He then took out a needle, a gutta-percha tube and a small glass bottle containing white powder.
