The cold wind howls on a winter night.
The ventilation areas of the Zhang family's kitchen were blocked, and the strange smell in the house couldn't escape at all.
Mrs. Zhang soon felt uncomfortable: "My head feels a little dizzy, I feel like vomiting, and I feel uncomfortable..."
She couldn't stand on her feet and fell to the ground.
Zhang Baolai was squatting on the ground, hiding raw coal. Slowly, he began to feel uncomfortable anywhere in his body.
He clutched his chest and spat it out with a loud sound.
He suddenly remembered that Li Zheng had said that this stuff was poisonous. He secretly felt that Li Zheng was deliberately deceiving them, wasn't he just afraid that they would take more and burn more... Li Zheng seemed to have said that when burning coal, be sure to Ventilation, in order to hide the raw coal, he closed the door of the kitchen...
Zhang Laigui managed to get up with a strong breath and wanted to open the door.
As soon as he stood up, his legs weakened and he fell to the ground again. His head hit the stove and he lost consciousness with a bang.
Candles were still lit at Cheng Wanwan's home, the children were reading, and she was practicing calligraphy. The home was quiet, with only the cold wind blowing and the branches outside rustling.
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside.
She put down her pen and rubbed her sore wrist: "What happened this late at night?"
Zhao Dashan put on some clothes and got off the kang: "I'll go out and take a look."
He went out and came back after a while, with an extremely serious look on his face: "It was the rogue Zhang couple who burned raw coal at home and got poisoned. Zhang Dagang went to ask Doctor Zheng to diagnose his pulse. Doctor Zheng couldn't figure out the reason. Zhang Dagang and Zhang Dagang The two Qiang brothers knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Mr. Zheng..."
On the main road of Dahe Village, Doctor Zheng was stopped.
"My parents are still alive, please save them, Doctor Zheng..." Zhang Dagang knelt on the ground, his head banging, "At least give me a prescription, Doctor Zheng, please..."
Many villagers nearby were awakened by the noise and came out to watch the fun.
"Zhang Laiyi is so stubborn that he went to the mountains to steal coal and burn it home. Didn't Uncle Li Zheng say it's poisonous? He's not willing to kill himself."
"To be honest, I thought Uncle Li Zheng's words were bluffing. This thing has a strange smell when it burns, but I always feel that it won't kill anyone."
"I just went to see the Zhang family. The couple's faces were pale, but their mouths were blood red. They looked weird."
"Mr. Zheng, please find a way to save these two people. Although these two people are quite disgusting, they are neighbors in the same village."
"If the road in the village is not blocked, we can still go to the city to ask for a doctor. Now I can only rely on you..."
Doctor Zheng sighed: "I am only a half-hearted doctor. I have never seen this symptom before, so I can't prescribe a prescription. Otherwise, I will go back and look through the medical books to see if there are any prescriptions for the treatment of coal poisoning... …”
Wujin Stone is a product of the north, and it is rare to see it in a place that is neither south nor north. This is the first time he has burned coal, and it is also the first time he has seen someone poisoned by coal. He does not know how to treat it.
He has more than a dozen medical books at home, focusing on those written by northerners, which may record a few things.
However, I wonder if the Zhang family can survive until he finds the prescription...
"If you are poisoned by coal, drink raw radish juice immediately and you will be relieved." A cold voice came, "Zhang Dagang, quickly go to your field to pull radishes, pound them into radish juice, and drink it for your parents."
Zhang Dagang looked up and saw Cheng Wanwan walking over in a rabbit fur cloak in the night.
As soon as she came over, Zhang Dagang's heart calmed down. Although she was not a doctor, everyone in Dahe Village was inexplicably convinced by her words.
Zhang Dagang got up from the ground: "Thank you, Aunt Zhao, I'll go right away!"
Doctor Zheng said in surprise: "Da Shan Niang, how do you know..."
"I have also read some medical books, and I happened to see this paragraph." Cheng Wanwan said, "There are also earth skeletons, which can ventilate the lungs and relieve the poison of coal."
Earth skulls, which are old radishes dried in the ground, can also treat coal poisoning.
These were all first aid methods she had read in ancient medical books. Fortunately, she had read the books in advance. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to save Zhang Rascal and Mrs. Zhang. Even if they were saved, they would easily suffer brain damage. To put it simply, That is to say, it is easy to become dementia.
People with severe coal poisoning will have some sequelae, such as limb incoordination or slow brain response.
Cheng Wanwan and Zheng Langzhong walked towards Zhang's house while talking, and some people who liked to watch the fun also followed.
Zhang Dagang moved very quickly, and after a while he made radish juice and drank it directly for his parents. He drank three bowls of it.
"Wow--"
"vomit--"
Zhang Lailai and Mrs. Zhang turned over and started vomiting.
The villagers all breathed a sigh of relief.
"If you can still vomit, it means everything is fine."
"Da Shan Niang is still more powerful, she knows more than Dr. Zheng."
"How can you become a Ruren if you are not powerful? Do you think anyone can get a reward from the Holy One?"
"..."
"Rascal Zhang, Mrs. Zhang, you two are doing this to yourselves!" Li Zheng stood in the yard and scolded sternly, "I just found two large baskets of coal in your kitchen and said, you are digging so much coal. What?!”
Mrs. Zhang's eyes rolled slowly, as if she didn't understand what Li Zheng said.
Zhang Lailai lay in Zhang Dagang's arms and groaned uncomfortably, his face still pale: "I feel uncomfortable, dizzy, dizzy... Dagang, help me in and lie down on the bed..."
"Zhang Rascal, don't try to fool me!" Li Zheng said coldly, "I have already said that this coal belongs to the imperial court. Mining coal privately is embezzlement of imperial property. This is a serious crime of beheading! And everyone in the village, please listen carefully. This thing is poisonous. If someone burns coal without permission and is poisoned to death, it is your own fault. If you are not dead, I will also file a complaint with the county magistrate. If anyone is If you can afford the consequences, just go ahead and steal coal!"
Li Zheng shook his sleeves and walked away angrily.
The onlookers in the village were yelled at and froze in place, not knowing how to react.
Cheng Wanwan said warmly: "Uncle Li Zheng is actually worried about everyone being poisoned by coal. Don't look at the fact that Zhang Lailai and Mrs. Zhang have already woken up. Tomorrow you will know how scary this poison is. Uncle Li Zheng is doing it for everyone's good. You must remember Remember, don’t do what you can’t do. God’s gift may be taken back in another way.”
This night passed without incident.
The next day, the villagers finally knew how terrible coal poisoning was.
The Zhang family did indeed save their lives, but Mrs. Zhang's reaction was particularly slow. Her sharp-tongued and trouble-making mouth was no longer easy to speak, while Zhang's hands and feet were uncoordinated and he could not walk well. He would fall down from time to time, which was even more comical than a cripple.
With the Zhang family taking the risk, no one in Dahe Village dared to steal coal anymore.
The next few days were uneventful.
On the sixth day of the lunar month, the heavy snow gradually stopped. On the seventh day of the lunar month, the sun even came out, and the warm sunshine shone down, sweeping away the gloom of the past few days.
