Quick travel to save a miserable life

The few words he shouted just now exhausted the last strength of Li Gu's body, and then he collapsed at the door due to exhaustion.

Fortunately, it was not too late now, and the servants in the yard came to check after hearing the noise.

At this time, Li Gu felt even more uncomfortable, and all the symptoms showed signs of aggravation. In his confusion, he could no longer care about anything. He grabbed the rough girl who arrived first and confessed repeatedly: "I have been poisoned. Hurry up." Go ask the doctor to detoxify me!"

This rough girl named Chunxiang was shocked. Why did her good-looking uncle say that he was poisoned? Maybe he was talking nonsense because he drank too much!

But there was no smell of alcohol here, and the look of my uncle lying on the ground holding his chest in pain didn't look fake, so she quickly ran back to report to the eldest lady: Even if she had to ask the doctor, she had to go back to the eldest lady. Only after you agree!

When she reported what happened to the eldest lady in a few words, she saw that the lady was not as panicked as she imagined. Instead, she calmly told her to go to the second door to find the boy on duty and ask the doctor to come and see the doctor.

So Chunxiang took the order and left.

Lin Hui then led several maids out of the inner room and walked to Li Gu's room.

Li Gu had been carried back to the bed indoors by the servants who arrived. Although he was lying down, he was in worse condition than when he was lying on the ground.

He was pale and clutching his chest, his forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his body was curled up in pain.

Lin Hui saw that the smell in the room was really unpleasant, so she ordered two boys to go to the inner room to clean up, and then told the others to return to their respective posts and not to wander around if nothing else happened.

After some cleaning, the smell in the room was finally not so strong. Lin Hui sat in front of Li Gu's bed and looked at him worriedly: "Husband, what's wrong with you?"

Li Gu was too uncomfortable to speak at this time, and he also felt that his mouth and tongue were numb and he really couldn't speak.

But even if he could speak, he couldn't tell Lin Hui that he was poisoned, let alone explain how he was poisoned.

Therefore, he just looked at Lin Hui and shook his head gently at her.

Fortunately, the area where the Lin family is located is a wealthy area in the city. There is a medical clinic not far away, and the doctor was quickly called.

The doctor invited was an old man in his fifties, with gray hair and a long beard.

After checking Li Gu's pulse, the old doctor couldn't help but frowned: Why does this young man have a heart disease at such a young age? This is usually a disease only suffered by elderly people from wealthy families!

So, he asked Lin Hui on the side: "Has the patient had any symptoms of heart disease in the past?"

Lin Hui heard this and said doubtfully: "No, my husband has always been in good health."

The old doctor held his beard and said: "That's strange, the pulse is obviously a serious heart disease!"

Li Gu, who was lying on the bed, was shocked when he heard this. His eyes widened. He stretched out his hand and pulled the old doctor's sleeve hard. He tried his best to spit out two words: "Poisoned!"

The old doctor couldn't help but frowned and said: "Nonsense, where did the poison come from?"

Li Gu burst into tears when he saw this, fearing that the old doctor would give him medicine for his heart ailment, and then he would really die after drinking the medicine!

Lin Hui said helplessly: "Doctor, my husband doesn't know what happened. He suddenly collapsed at the door and just shouted that he was poisoned. Please stop checking his pulse!"

Hearing this, the old doctor looked at Li Gu's face carefully, opened his eyelids to check, and pinched his lower jaw to see his tongue. Li Gu knew that this was his last chance, so he cooperated and tried his best to go out. Stick out your tongue.

"It's strange. Now it seems that it's not a heart disease. Could it be that he was really poisoned?" The old doctor said to himself.

Li Gu nodded his head when he heard this, with tears in his eyes, looking at the old doctor for help.

The old doctor thought for a moment and said to Lin Hui: "Ms. Lin, I will give him the detoxification method first. You can ask someone to boil some mung bean water. If there is milk, it is best to bring it first and give it to him." "

Lin Hui glanced at Li Gu and said, "Then do as you say. After all, you are a doctor!"

So, the old doctor asked people to remove Li Gu's clothes and began to insert needles into his body. It was not until more than thirty needles were inserted into him, and Li Gu's expression gradually softened, that he was convinced that Li Gu was probably really poisoned. .

Because his acupuncture method is only effective for symptoms of poisoning. If it is a heart disease, it will definitely be useless.

So, people fed Li Gu several large bowls of milk one after another until his stomach was bloated and he covered his mouth and couldn't drink any more.

Although it was confirmed that Li Gu was indeed poisoned, the old doctor was not good at what kind of poison he was poisoned and how to cure it. He also told Li Gu and Lin Hui truthfully and asked them to ask Gao Ming to come for treatment.

Lin Hui expressed her understanding. After all, different doctors have their own strengths. This old doctor's clinic is located in a wealthy area. He only specializes in some common diseases. He sees less of poisoning and the like, so it is normal that he is not good at it. .

However, it is getting late now, and the curfew is about to begin. If there is no time to invite other doctors, we should first ask the old doctor to prescribe an antidote and take it, stabilize the condition, and wait for dawn to find another doctor. The doctor is coming to see you, and I have to trouble the old doctor to stay in the house tonight, waiting for the new doctor to come before leaving.

The old doctor saw that he couldn't go back tonight, so he could only prescribe a commonly used detoxification prescription and have people grab the medicine and come back quickly.

Fortunately, after Li Gu drank the milk, his health gradually showed signs of improvement. At least his symptoms of palpitation and chest pain were relieved a lot, and he no longer had vomiting or diarrhea. However, he was still weak all over, his mouth and tongue were numb, and he could not open his mouth easily. When you need to urinate, you have to make a sound signal.

Li Gu drank the boiled antidote and fell asleep soon after. The old doctor said this was normal.

So Lin Hui asked people to place the old doctor in the nearby yard, told Zhou Bao and Ma Si to take good care of Li Gu, and then went back to rest.

After all, it's almost the third day of the night, and pregnant women are prone to sleepiness. Fortunately, they slept a little longer in the afternoon, otherwise they really wouldn't be able to hold on.

After all, Li Gu had been preparing for this big drama for a long time. It was rare to see him reap the consequences, so Lin Hui would not miss it.

That's right, Lin Hui had expected this scene tonight!

Li Gu thought that his methods were covert and clever, but in fact, Lin Hui had already known everything, including the fact that someone who claimed to be a bookstore clerk came to the house to deliver books. Lin Hui knew there was something wrong as soon as he heard about it. As expected, delivering books was fake and delivering poison was real. .

Lin Hui also knew something about the properties of the poison.

Most of Butler Wang's wings have been cut off, and he doesn't have many available people at all. Just look at the people under his hands to know his movements.

This poison was accidentally discovered by a doctor in a neighboring province a few years ago. It was extracted from the bark sap of a plant. Because it was not well-known, it did not spread.

Butler Wang knew about it because he heard people chatting with the Lin family's caravan when they were doing business. The person who talked was unintentional, but the person who listened was intentional. Butler Wang privately sent people to look for the medicine.

However, because that kind of tree is quite rare, the bark sap must be dried to obtain the powdery finished drug with strong medicinal properties, so it is even more rare. The previous delay was due to insufficient production, so we had to wait an extra day.

Lin Hui concluded that he would definitely hide the medicine on his body, so he called Zhou Bao and asked him to quietly steal the paper bag back, then wrap some kudzu powder with a similar color and put it back, and so on. It's ridiculous that Li Gu didn't even notice.

In this way, Zhou Bao seemed to realize that something was wrong, but he knew who his real master was. Lin Hui told him to listen to his uncle's orders today, so he would do as the young lady said. He would never go wrong if he listened to the young lady. .

So, when the uncle went to the master's yard later, Zhou Bao put the real packet of poison into the uncle's tonic according to the lady's instructions.

This is the reason why Li Gu obviously poisoned Mr. Lin, but got the poison himself!
