Chapter 588: Rescue
“Anyone else? how come Bai Dazhu’s family and Bai Zhenzhu are all gone? Did you looked carefully?”
The man was too tired, so he waved his hand: “I’ve searched everywhere, only these four are in the house, no one else is there.”
The Bai Family’s house was very close to the small river. The big guys, each one has brought a bucket of water again and again. Soon the fire was suppressed. Although some things were burned in the house, the house was kept.
When the Village Chief Li heard the news, he came and saw the situation, then hurriedly sent someone to call Doctor Lu.
Doctor Lu came to see, he didn’t even need to check their pulse to know what’s going on. Just looking at the black blood on their mouth and face, he can tell that they were poisoned and not fell unconscious because of smoke.
“Hurry up, send them to Jirentang. Bai Zhi has a good antidote pill. Now, only Bai Zhi can save them.” Doctor Lu shouted.
Village Chief Li hurriedly asked people to bring oxcart. Then, accompanied Doctor Lu to rushed to Jirentang together.
When they arrived at Jirentang, the old lady was already dead. After all, she was too old, and she ate two meat buns in a row. Her old bones couldn’t bear it at all.
After seeing the three people, Bai Zhi immediately took out her newly-refined Detoxifying Pills and performed detoxification needle treatment to expel the poison in their body.
Doctor Lu wanted to help and wanted to learn how to apply needle treatment from Bai Zhi. However, Bai Zhi’s needle application was too fast. He couldn’t keep up, he could only do what he could do, which was to pass her the things she needs.
When the needle treatment was given to three people, it was already dark. Bai Zhi had a backache and couldn’t stand for a long time.
She asked Village Chief Li: “What the hell is going on? Who poisoned them?”
Village Chief Li’s face drastically changed: “What are you talking about? Poisoned? Didn’t they become like this because of smoke?”
Bai Zhi shook her head: “Of course not, they ate rat poison. Fortunately, the toxicity of the rat poison was not concentrated enough. Otherwise, they would have died. Fortunately, you sent them on time. If it’s a bit later, I cannot help them.”
“Rat poison?” Village Chief Li’s twisted face turned and looked at Doctor Lu.
Doctor Lu nodded his head: “Bai Zhi is right, it’s rat poison. Do you remember Miss Wang in our village? She also took rat poison that year, the symptoms were the same as this. Unfortunately, my medical skills were not good enough to save her. I can only watch her die, hai—”The saddest thing for a doctor is watching their patients die, but incapable of helping.
Village Chief Li replied: “Yes, yes, I remember it. It looks the same. But that’s strange, the Bai Family is so poor that they can’t even buy food, but they have money to buy rat poison? Is there a lot of rats in their house?”
Bai Zhi asked: “Where is the first branch of the Bai family? And where is Zhenzhu?”
Village Chief Li replied: “It’s very strange. When the Bai family’s house caught fire, only the four of them are inside the house. No one else was there.”
Bai Zhi sighed and said, “Everything has cause and effect. It’s impossible to be poisoned for no reason, and the house can’t be burned for no reason. Moreover, if you combined these two things, it’s even more suspicious. But it’s too early to judge, we have to find the first branch of Bai Family first.”
Doctor Lu released a long sigh: “Village Chief, I don’t think this matter is simple. Maybe it is homicide. I suggest you go and report this to the official.”
Village Chief Li nodded his head: “Alright, I will go to the Yamen tomorrow morning. If Erzhu can wake up tonight, it will be much better. We can ask him what happened.”
