water ladle right out of his hand.The water scoop hit the wall, and all the water spilled."You... " I was both angry and flustered.She immediately realized her mistake. She buried her head between her...I rushed back to the hospital, after just going there this morning. When the doctor saw my swollen finger again, she was also startled.
This time, besides giving me an injection and drawing blood, the doctor said they would do a pathology test to see if I was infected with any bacteria.
The test results will take at least a day to come out. The doctor told me to take the anti-inflammatory medicine on time. Maybe he was worried that Amoxicillin wouldn't work, so the doctor also prescribed another expensive anti-inflammatory medicine with an English label on the box.
When I got back to the inn at night, Tou said to me, "Yunfeng, you don't need to go down into the pit tonight. Just rest here for one night. Our main mission these next two days is to find the main tomb." He asked me to stay behind and watch over things.
Late at night, my bitten finger swelled up again. This time, not only did it swell and ooze white water, but it also started to ache. The pain was a cramping pain, coming in intervals of about twenty minutes each.
We booked the whole inn, now there are only two guests: me and a mole.
I know the Sun family brothers are searching for the main tomb chamber, and I dare not disturb them. Halfway through the night, I held my swollen index finger, the pain turning me over and over, unable to sleep at all.
I snuck out to see if there were any pharmacies still open. I want to buy some painkillers.
That year, online shopping was not yet popular, and there was no online pharmacy service. I was unfamiliar with Shun De, so I just walked north from the hotel. On the way, I asked people if there were any pharmacies nearby that were open.
I heard that there was a 24-hour pharmacy, but when I got there, it was already closed. There wasn't actually a 24-hour pharmacy after all.
Just coincidentally, I found that I am very close to Li Jing's house in Nanshan District. I can even see the arch bridge on the moat from here.
Li Jing is a local. I just want to see if their family has painkillers. If they don't, I'll have to go a long way to the hospital.
When we got there, I knocked on the door a few times. It was Li Mu who opened the door for me.
"Little... Little item So late, how did you come here" Li's mother asked me in surprise.
I said, “Auntie, is Li Jing at home I’d like to see if you have any painkillers. I happened to be passing by and was wondering if I could borrow some.”

Pain medication
"Oh, yes, yes, come with me," she led me into the house.
"Xiaojing, are you asleep Open the door," Li's mother knocked a few times. She turned to me and said the medicine was in Xiaojing's room drawer.
To avoid scaring people, I kept my hand in my pocket the whole time. That's how Mrs. Li didn't see it.
"Mom, it's so late, what are you doing" Li Jing opened the door for me in a Donald Duck pajamas, rubbing her eyes.
"Item...Mount Yunfeng How did you get here" Li Jing looked at me in surprise.
"Your classmate came to borrow some painkillers. Mom remembers there are some in the drawer under your desk. You go and help Xiaoxian look for them. I still have water boiling on the stove, gotta pour it into the thermos."
After Li Mu gave Li Jing her instructions, she turned and left.
Li Jing is currently wearing a Donald Duck pajamas, the pajamas are short, only covering to her thighs. I didn't dare to look when she bent over to find medicine in the drawer because of the angle.
Back then, I was still a virgin. The more he didn't look at me, the more embarrassed I became, and in the end, my face turned bright red.
"What's wrong Why are you so red" Li Jing found the painkiller and turned back to ask me, puzzled.
I was about to speak when I felt a sharp pain in my finger again, like a knife was cutting into my flesh.
"No...nothing..." A bead of sweat rolled down my forehead, the pain making me ache.
"I... I'm leaving!" I grabbed the medicine bottle from Li Jing's hand and ran out of her house.
Not far from Li Jing's house, there was a water tap. I don't know whose it belonged to, but there was water, so I drank three painkillers directly under the tap.
After resting for a while, I still felt pain, so I took two more pieces, and then I felt much better.
Leaning against the edge of the pool, I started to feel a chill run through me. My head felt heavy, my eyelids were drooping, and I had no strength in my body.
At that moment, I thought to myself, "Am I about to die Am I going to die"
I huddled on the edge of the pool, my teeth chattering with cold and my whole body shivering. Then I passed out.
I hadn't slept for very long and when I woke up, I found myself in Li Jing's bedroom.
"You're awake! What happened to your hand, you scared me to death! If I hadn't felt something was wrong and gone to take a look, something terrible would have happened, you know," Li Jing looked at me with a terrified expression.
Li Mu then entered with a bowl of water. She looked at me lying in bed and asked, "Xiao Xiang, why didn't you say anything just now What's wrong with your hand"
I stammered, "Auntie, I think I might have been bitten by a snake."
>
"Could you have been bitten by a snake What kind of snake" Li's mother looked surprised.
I shook my head and said I didn't know.
"This won't do, we don't have a car, and the hospital is far away. It's still late at night, so all the clinics and pharmacies are closed. Xiao Xiang, you can't delay this. Xiao Jing, support Xiao Xiang, let's go see what Auntie Liu says."

On the way, Li Jing explained to me that Liu Po was from Guangxi and had married over from a Miao village in Wanshan Mountain. Liu Po's own family had medicinal herbs, and she was very skilled at treating snakebites. There was once a person who was bitten by a five-step snake, and the hospital happened to be out of five-step snake serum stock. As a result, Liu Po used her herbs to cure him in three or two moves. Amazing!
It took me forty minutes to walk from Li Jing's house to Liu Po's house. I had another attack during the walk, but five painkillers were still effective, and I could bear it.
Liu Po's house was very old. Li Jing said that after the Lunar New Year, this area might be demolished as a dangerous building. Li Mu knocked on the door for a long time before an elderly woman slowly opened it for us.
Li's mother got straight to the point, explaining her reason for coming. When Liu heard that I had been bitten by a venomous snake, she immediately called us into the house.
Liu Po was over seventy years old. Her house had a smell, the kind of smell that comes from dirty rags and feces. An elderly man lay in bed covered by a thick quilt, looking unwell.
Seeing my finger, swollen like a sausage, and the two small puncture marks left by the bite, Aunt Liu's face slowly darkened.
"Youngster, I ask you, are you sure it was a snake that bit you Where were you bitten"
I definitely wouldn't admit to Li Jing that I was bitten while tomb robbing, so I stammered and lied, "I... I was bitten at home."
">
"A house" Aunt Liu stared at me, saying meaningfully, "I don't think there are any snakes like that in my house...."
Liu Po waved her hand, signaling Li Jing and Li Mu to go outside first. She had something she wanted to talk to me about alone.
After they left, Liu Po looked at me and shook her head. "Young man, I told you clearly, what bit you wasn't a snake. Have you been to the hospital What did the doctor say"

Grandma, the doctor said I had edema before. Then he drew my blood and said he was going to do a bacterial pathology test to see if it was an infection.
“
Having heard my words, Old Mrs. Liu coldly smiled and said: "By the time they find the reason, your body will be almost cold."
"orpse, Second Brother resembles him a bit because Second Brother's pupils are also slowly turning yellow.Li Zheng said that according to his teacher's research, there was a kind of bacterial spore on...
