Sweet Dreams in Famine Years: The System Leads to a Brilliant Life

Zeng Zhengen shook his head: "No, not yet. I just squeezed out some of the toxins. I will need a few more doses of medicine to completely remove the toxins."

She knew that the most effective way to detoxify was to inject serum, but now she had no way to obtain the serum and could only use herbs to temporarily treat the toxins.

After treating the soldier's wound, Pan Yang asked the villagers to carry the soldier back to the cave. When the soldier's wife saw her husband, she immediately cried and rushed over to him: "Master, you must wake up! You can't get into trouble! Otherwise, what will happen to us?"

The villagers in the cave were saddened when they heard her cries. Without the pillar of support, life would be even more difficult.

When Zeng's mother saw Zeng Zhengen return to the cave, she immediately asked, "Zeng'er, how is the soldier doing?"

Zeng Zhengen comforted her, "Mom, don't worry, I have already treated the poison and applied medicine. As long as he rests well for a few days, he will be able to recover."

Zeng's mother felt a little relieved after hearing this. However, she immediately had another question: When did her daughter learn medical skills?

"Zeng girl, tell me honestly, when did you learn medical skills?" Zeng's mother's tone was a little serious. She was worried that if Zeng Zhengen didn't know medical skills, then the treatment just now might cause greater danger to the soldiers.

Zeng Zhengen saw Zeng's mother's worry and explained gently: "Mom, don't worry. I learned some medical skills from an old doctor before, so I dared to treat him. If I didn't know medical skills, I would never do it easily."

After hearing this, Zeng's mother felt a little relieved. "That's good, as long as you know what's going on. But you still have to be more careful next time."

Zeng's mother continued to give a few more instructions, obviously still a little worried about her daughter's medical skills.

Soon, it was getting dark, and Pan Yang arranged for the villagers to light a fire at the entrance of the cave to prevent wild animals from entering the cave at night.

Zeng Zhengen used the herbs she had collected in the afternoon to make some snake and insect repellent powder, which she sprinkled around the cave. She also prepared some mosquito repellent ointment and distributed it to Zeng's mother and others.

At night, Pan Yang arranged several villagers to keep watch at the cave entrance. After everyone fell asleep, Zeng Zhengen quietly got up and walked to the side of the soldier.

She took out the serum she bought from the system mall and quietly injected it into the soldier. Although the serum cost her two thousand system coins, she felt that the money was spent without hesitation in order to save lives. In her eyes, the value of saving lives far exceeded any money.

As a modern military doctor, Zeng Zhengen could not bear to watch a life slip away like that, especially for the villagers in this village. Everyone was fleeing famine together, and there was no need for them to lose their lives because of something like this.

After completing the injection, Zeng Zhengen quietly returned to his place and continued to rest.

The next morning, just as the sky was getting light, the people in the cave were awakened by a surprised shout.

"Boss, you're really awake, that's great!"

When the soldier's wife saw that the soldier had opened his eyes, she was so excited that she could hardly speak.

"Water...water..." The soldier's throat was so dry that he could only call out weakly.

The soldier's wife was still immersed in joy and did not hear his faint call. At this time, the villagers nearby noticed that the soldier's mouth kept opening and closing, and realized that he needed water, so they reminded the soldier's wife.

"Soldier's wife, listen to what the soldier is saying!"

The soldier's wife came to her senses and leaned over to listen carefully to the soldier's voice. When she heard the soldier asked for water, she immediately poured a bowl of water and fed it to him carefully.

After drinking the water, the soldier felt much better.

"Boss, how do you feel now?"

The soldier's wife put away the empty bowl, looked at the soldier nervously, and asked anxiously.

The soldier looked around and found himself back in the cave. He remembered that he was bitten by a poisonous snake while looking for water, and then fainted, and he had no idea what happened afterwards.

The soldier's wife wiped her tears and began to tell what happened, including how Pan Yang and his men carried him back to the cave.

After hearing this, the soldier was filled with gratitude and tried to get up, but was held down by Pan Yang.

"You haven't fully recovered yet, so don't move anymore." Pan Yang advised.

The soldier lay down helplessly, and said to Pan Yang with gratitude: "Thank you for saving my life. If it weren't for your kindness, I'm afraid I would have died under the venomous snake."

Pan Yang waved his hands and said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry to thank me. I wasn't the one who saved you. If you want to thank someone, you should thank Zeng girl! If she hadn't helped, it would be useless even if we carried you back."

"Zeng girl?"

The soldier looked puzzled. He remembered that it was Pan Yang who had him carried back. The soldier's wife was also puzzled. She clearly saw Pan Yang and his men carrying him back yesterday!

Seeing the two people's confused expressions, Pan Yang told them in detail how Zeng Zhengen had helped the soldier detoxify yesterday. The couple suddenly realized what was going on.

After returning to the cave, the soldier's wife hurriedly prepared some homemade pickles and cornmeal and brought them to Zeng Zhengen.

"Zeng girl, it was thanks to your help yesterday that our boss was able to save his life. These are just a small token of our family's love, I hope you don't mind."

The soldier's wife felt a little embarrassed. The man saved her husband's life, but she had only come to thank him now.

Zeng Zhengen took the gift with a smile and said softly, "How could I dislike it? This is a token of your love, sister-in-law. Of course I won't dislike it."

Although these things were not worth much, Zeng Zhengen knew in her heart that this was a sincere thank you from others, and she was not the kind of person who would not know how to appreciate it.

"Sister-in-law, don't be so polite. Under the circumstances at that time, it was understandable that you were busy taking care of the soldier." Zeng Zhengen comforted.

Then, Zeng Zhengen asked about the soldier's condition in detail. After learning that he was fine, he felt relieved. After the soldier's wife said goodbye and left, Zeng Zhengen began to prepare breakfast.

Since the soldiers had not fully recovered and were unable to work in the fields, and they had not found any water yesterday, Pan Yang decided to let everyone rest in the cave for a day.

After the villagers finished their breakfast, Pan Yang arranged for several strong villagers to set out again to continue looking for water.
