Chapter 4: Butterfly Poison

After returning to the county, Zhao Jianhui once again convened a meeting of the Shangjiang County Standing Committee. At the meeting, arrangements were made for the construction of the road from Nangang to Shangjiang. Shangjiang County was required to obtain it by the end of the month at the latest. Get results. "Now, Jinpingzhai is no longer an obstacle to road construction. We must build this road and regard it as a link that opens Shangjiang County to the world. Wanshan Nature Reserve can be the most typical example of Shangjiang County. tourism resources, the Dilong project strives to complete the transformation from wild to domestic breeding. , relying on these two projects, many villages in Shangjiang County can start hand-knitting processing, wood art root carving, flowers and stones and other incidental projects, as well as some unique farmhouses, which can make a lot of money. . As long as there is a way out, the development of Shangjiang County is just around the corner..."

After motivating the people in Shangjiang County, Zhao Jianhui left the county and returned to the city that afternoon. The car did not turn into the city, but turned directly from the north of the city onto the Qi Provincial Expressway.

The car drove into Nankang at around six o'clock in the evening. After having a simple meal on the roadside, the car drove to the military hospital. On the way to the hospital, Zhao Jianhui called the old expert and asked him about Yuan Yiyi's condition these days. The old expert said that Yuan Yiyi's illness has not improved at all, and he does not dare to prescribe medicine now. This situation is exactly the same as that of the Overseas Chinese Hospital in Nangang.

When the car drove into the military hospital, not only the veteran experts, but also Xiao Changrong were waiting at the door. Seeing that the expert Zhao Jianhui invited was only in his twenties and was carrying a large coarse cloth bag, many people had a wry smile in their eyes.

Man Xiaotian didn't care at all about the complicated looks in his eyes and followed Zhao Jianhui upstairs directly. Huahua'er also followed suit. The two of them were shocked by the prosperity of the big city, but they didn't show any timidity on their faces.

When Yuan Yiyi's bodyguards saw Zhao Jianhui approaching, they had already lowered their heads and slipped out one by one against the wall. In this way, there were still many people in the room. There are two little nurses arranged in the hospital, and there is also Yang Tingting who sticks to Yuan Yiyi's side. What surprised Zhao Jianhui the most was that there were Qin Yu and Liu Qian, whom he had never seen before, in the room. Since joining Yuan Yiyi, this little stewardess has been trained to be able to act on her own. The affairs of Yihui Company are almost all about dealing with specific matters. He is much busier than Yuan Yiyi. I really don't know why she appears in Yuan Yiyi's room at this time?

"Brother..." I saw Zhao Jianhui coming in, followed by a very beautiful girl. Liu Qian couldn't help but her eyes turned red, she called out "Brother" softly, and her tears immediately flowed down.

Hearing her soft call "Brother", Zhao Jianhui seemed to see the shy and frightened little girl in Huang Hai Wang Er Fried Chicken Restaurant again in his mind. I thought she was crying because she was concerned about Yuan Yiyi's illness, so she smiled and said: "Silly girl, why are you crying? Didn't I bring someone to see Yiyi? I haven't seen you for a long time, so I'm laughing. one."

Hearing what he said, Liu Qian couldn't help but burst into tears. This person, whom we hadn't seen for such a long time, didn't even know how to call him. I'm afraid he had already been forgotten in his mind.

"Xiaotian, come and see, this is the patient I told you." Nodding to Qin Yu, Zhao Jianhui called Man Xiaotian over to see Yuan Yiyi. Yuan Yiyi said a little unhappy: "Didn't I tell you that I'm not sick at all? I've been suffocated these past few days. Fortunately, Liu Qian and Qin Yu came to see me, otherwise I would have been discharged from the hospital long ago... "

"Be obedient and let this little brother show you." Zhao Jianhui reached out and held Yuan Yiyi down. Man Xiaotian walked to her side and put three fingers on Yuan Yiyi's wrist. The old expert and Xiao Changrong also He stretched his neck and looked at Manxiaotian's pulse, but he didn't quite believe this young man.

Switching from his left wrist to Yuan Yiyi's right hand, Man Xiaotian kept his eyes closed and meditated, and finally let go of his hand and said to Yuan Yiyi: "Open your mouth..."

"Ah..." How embarrassing would it be to open your mouth in front of so many people? Zhao Jianhui patted Yuan Yiyi on the shoulder: "Be obedient and listen to the doctor."

"Is it true? He is a doctor?" Yuan Yiyi looked at Man Xiaotian in disbelief, and Zhao Jianhui nodded firmly: "Yes, don't you believe me?"

"Well..." Yuan Yiyi reluctantly opened her mouth.

"Secretary Zhao, let's go outside and talk..." Man Xiaotian looked at the base of his tongue and then at the coating, and finally stood up and said to Zhao Jianhui.

"Let's talk in my office." The old expert also wanted to hear what this guy had to say, so he led the way diligently, while Zhao Jianhui and Xiao Changrong followed behind. When he arrived at the old expert's office, Man Xiaotian said to Zhao Jianhui firmly: "Secretary Zhao, now I can confirm that what your friend is infected with is the 'Butterfly Pink Poison'. This poisonous butterfly is also found in China. It became extinct about two hundred years ago, and now only a very small number lives in the jungles of Myanmar and Thailand.”

"Butterfly poison powder? Not a bug?" Zhao Jianhui looked at Man Xiaotian in shock and asked.

The old expert took over and said: "It is called a butterfly, but it is actually a bug. This kind of butterfly is brightly colored and graceful. Most of its larvae feed on plants of the Ampelopsis and Moraceae families, so they contain those plant toxins in their bodies. However, after transformation and mutation in the larvae, the toxins contained in them have turned into colorful powder particles attached to the abdomen of this butterfly when they become butterflies."

Man Xiaotian nodded and said: "That's it. If you want to cure your friend's disease, you must find this kind of butterfly, because only this kind of butterfly has antibodies to resist this virus. Clean this butterfly, fry it, grind it into powder and swallow it, it will be the antidote for this toxin."

Zhao Jianhui was speechless for a long time, thinking that even if I knew this disease, where can I get this kind of butterfly? So, he stared at Man Xiaotian and asked, "Is there no other way?"

Man Xiaotian shook his head and said, "No. But..." He thought for a while, and then continued, "I can use the medicine I brought to stabilize your friend's condition first, so that she will not get sick in a short time, but if you want to eradicate it, you must get that kind of butterfly."

"Is that so... Can you write down your prescription and give it to Director Huang? We don't know that kind of butterfly. I want you to go to the Burma-Thailand jungle with me..."

Originally, this should be considered an excessive request. Many doctors regard the house as more important than their lives, and generally will not write to others. Who knows that Man Xiaotian nodded, sat at the table and said, "What's the big deal? I can write it down right away."

Xiao Changrong was shocked when he heard what Zhao Jianhui said, thinking, you are not going to go to the Burma-Thailand jungle by yourself, right? Not to mention whether your identity is suitable or not, just the degree of danger there, you can't just go there and get that kind of butterfly.

"Secretary Zhao, I think you should reconsider this. It's too risky..." Before he finished speaking, he was stopped by Zhao Jianhui's eyes: "Commander Xiao, let's talk about this alone later. I need your help with something."

When Man Xiaotian finished writing the house, Zhao Jianhui took it and handed it to the old expert: "Director Huang, take a look, do you have all the medicines above?"

The old expert took it and looked at it, pointing to one of the medicines and said: "We have all the others, but we don't have this kind of purple wisteria root in our pharmacy... This, it doesn't seem to be a medicine?"

Man Xiaotian said nothing, stretched out his hand and pulled out a black thing from the cloth bag hanging on his body: "This is purple wisteria root, everything in the world can be used as medicine, but it depends on what disease it corresponds to..." This kid is strong and simple, and he doesn't use honorifics when talking to Zhao Jianhui. Zhao Jianhui knows that he doesn't understand the ways of the world, so he naturally doesn't blame him, but he never expected that he would say such a sentence in front of the old expert.

Director Huang took the wisteria root and suddenly laughed: "Yes, you are right, young man. Everything in the world can be used as medicine, as long as it is verified, haha... However, your prescription has not been verified, so I still have to be cautious. You don't mind if the old man finds someone to verify your prescription?"

Man Xiaotian nodded in agreement. Zhao Jianhui was very appreciative of Director Huang's serious and responsible attitude.

In the border area of ​​Myanmar, Laos and Thailand in Southeast Asia, the Thai government erected a memorial archway with the words "Golden Triangle" at the junction of the three countries. Therefore, this area was later called the "Golden Triangle". This place is blocked by traffic and mountains, with a total area of ​​about 150,000 to 200,000 square kilometers. The undulating mountains form a three-dimensional climate. People at the foot of the mountain are extremely hot, and people at the top of the mountain may have to gather around the fire to resist the cold. Relatively speaking, the natural conditions in high-altitude areas are relatively poor, and people's lives are more difficult.

The average altitude of this area is 1500-3000 meters, the land is fertile, and the climate is warm and humid. The long sunshine in the subtropics provides enough sunshine to promote the growth of various plants. The changes in the monsoon belt have formed two seasons here: dry and wet. In summer, the southwest monsoon brings a lot of hot and humid water from the sea to form a wet season when there is abundant rainfall. In the east, the dry and cold monsoon belt in the north affects the dry season. This periodic change regulates the rhythm of local organisms.

Because the climate with long sunshine, low latitude and high humidity is very easy for animals and plants to grow and reproduce, it has formed a unique rainforest climate in the local area, resulting in the diversity of organisms here.

In this lush rainforest area, it is not only suitable for growing poppies to make opium, heroin and other drugs, but also many famous or unknown animals and plants live in the depths of the dense forest.

The colorful butterfly that Zhao Jianhui and others are looking for is one of the many creatures. It's just that there are very few of these butterflies, and even the locals generally can't figure it out.

Mae Sai Town, also known as "Sleeping Beauty", is the northernmost town in Thailand. There is only one main street running from south to north in Mae Sai Town. This street is actually the end of the Chiang Mai-Chiang Rai-Mae Sai Expressway, which ends at the stone bridge on the Thai-Myanmar border. There are rows of shops on both sides of the street, many of which are run by Chinese, selling daily necessities, handicrafts and local specialties from Thailand and Myanmar.

There is a small hill a few dozen meters west of the street. You can reach the top of the hill by climbing more than a hundred steps. There is a Phra That Duwo Temple and an observation tower on the top.

Climbing the observation tower, you can see Mae Sai Town, Mae Sai River and the town of Tachileik in Myanmar across the street.
