Transmigration: Becoming the Wicked Stepmother of Four Children

Chapter 11 Saving Dashan

After leaving Grandpa Zhang's house, Lu Qingqing hurried home.

When she returned home, she found that the children had already washed the dishes.

They were all gathered together watching the little rabbit, and their focused and joyful expressions warmed her heart.

Lu Qingqing was thinking about the pile of clothes that hadn't been washed yet.

He then walked over to the children and gently instructed them, "Stone,

Take good care of your younger siblings and don't let them run around.

The children nodded obediently, and Shuang'er replied, "Mother, don't worry, Shuang'er will be good."

Lu Qingqing then carried a large basin of dirty clothes that she had changed out of yesterday and walked towards the river.

When she arrived, there were already several women washing clothes by the river.

Among them, Aunt Wang, with her sharp eyes, spotted Lu Qingqing approaching and quickly waved to her.

He called out, "Qingqing, over here, over here, there's a good spot right next to me."

Lu Qingqing quickly walked over, put down the basin, and said gratefully:

"Thank you, ma'am, this is such a convenient spot for washing clothes."

The other women looked at Lu Qingqing and couldn't help but start gossiping.

"Hey, Lu Qingqing, why are you being so diligent today?"

Widow Li said in a sarcastic tone.

Lu Qingqing did not refute, but simply smiled calmly.

As she took the clothes out of the basin, she said, "I was confused before."

Now I understand, I need to take good care of my children.

We can't keep drifting through life like before.

Aunt Wang chimed in, "That's right, it's a good thing that Qingqing can change, we should all help her out more."

"Hmph, who knows how many days they can hold out? Maybe."

"It's just for show," Li Erniang muttered, her long-tongued nature evident.

Lu Qingqing wasn't annoyed; she simply lowered her head and carefully washed the clothes.

Aunt Wang chatted with Lu Qingqing while they washed clothes.

We talked a lot about everyday family matters.

Aunt Wang would also occasionally share her household management experience with Lu Qingqing.

Lu Qingqing listened attentively, nodding occasionally.

Just as she was finishing washing, she heard an anxious voice from the shore: "Gui Xiang!"

"Oh no! Your mountain has been bitten by a poisonous snake! You'd better hurry home to see him one last time!"

That shout instantly silenced the once bustling riverside.

When Sister Liu, who was standing nearby, heard that her husband had been bitten by a snake,

His face turned deathly pale instantly, and he swayed before collapsing to the ground.

Lu Qingqing reacted quickly, supporting her and gently comforting her, "Sister Liu, don't worry."

I'll go back with you and take a look. I studied medicine before, maybe I can be of help."

Aunt Liu was already panicked at this point. Upon hearing Lu Qingqing's words,

Without even thinking, he gripped Lu Qingqing's arm tightly.

Her voice trembled as she said, "Qingqing, let's go quickly."

"If you can save my family's mountain, I'm willing to be your slave for the rest of my life."

Upon hearing that Lu Qingqing knew medicine, Aunt Wang, who was standing nearby, also urged anxiously,

You two hurry back home, I'll wash your clothes.

As she spoke, she had Lu Qingqing help Liu's wife walk quickly towards her house.

When they arrived at Sister Liu's house, they saw a group of people gathered in the yard.

A cacophony of voices rose and fell.

It turned out that the group of them had gone up the mountain together to cut down trees, and they happened to encounter Da Shan, who had been bitten by a snake.

The situation was urgent, and without hesitation, they threw down their tools.

Working together, they managed to lift the mountain back.

Sister Liu saw Dashan lying unconscious on the wooden plank.

She rushed over, tears streaming down her face, crying out, "Dashan, you can't be hurt!"

"If anything were to happen to you, how would my children and I survive!"

Lu Qingqing quickly stepped forward to check on Dashan's injuries.

Two deep teeth marks were visible on Da Shan's calf, the area around the wound was black and purple, and it was swollen very high.

A burly man who had accompanied them back from the mountains said anxiously, "What should we do now?"

We didn't know what to do, so we just carried the person back.

Another tall, thin man added, "We searched the mountain for ages but couldn't find any herbs that could cure the poison."

Lu Qingqing calmly said, "Everyone, don't panic, let me think of a solution."

She carefully recalled the medical knowledge she had learned and quickly thought of a prescription for detoxification.

At this moment, someone in the crowd whispered, "Can she handle it? Don't let her down."

Lu Qingqing acted as if she hadn't heard, and turned to Sister Liu, saying, "Sister Liu, don't cry."

We need to get moving. Do we have any spirits at home?

Aunt Liu wiped away her tears and hurriedly replied, "Yes, yes, it's in the kitchen."

Lu Qingqing said again, "Bring it here quickly, I'll disinfect the wound first and try to slow down the spread of the toxicity."

Aunt Liu stumbled to the kitchen and brought out some strong liquor.

Lu Qingqing took the strong liquor and carefully poured it onto Dashan's wound.

Da Shan groaned in pain, and Sister Liu's heart clenched again.

Lu Qingqing comforted her, "Sister Liu, this is necessary. Just bear with it, there might still be hope."

Afterwards, Lu Qingqing carefully examined the wound at the bite site.

They started asking the people who came back with them about their reactions after Da Shan was bitten.

Based on the shape of the wound and the patient's reaction after being bitten, Lu Qingqing made a judgment.

With a grave expression, he said, "This should be a bite from a bamboo viper or a five-step snake."

A collective sigh escaped the crowd upon hearing this, and someone couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh dear..."

If it were a bamboo viper or a five-step snake, this person would probably be beyond saving!

Upon hearing this, Sister Liu collapsed to the ground.

She burst into tears: "Oh, mountains, how can I live without you!"

"My world has collapsed!" The crying was heart-wrenching and made people feel extremely sad.

Just then, Lu Qingqing spoke up to comfort her, "Sister Liu,"

Don't cry, I can treat this. We just need to move the person indoors.

"Find a clean and comfortable place so I can easily perform the rescue."

Some people questioned, "Lu Qingqing, how did you determine that it was a bamboo viper and a five-step snake bite?"

This is a matter of life and death; you can't be careless.

Knowing that people didn't believe she could cure it, Lu Qingqing gave them a brief explanation of common medical knowledge.

She explained in detail: "If bitten by a venomous snake with neurotoxins..."

For example, with kraits and banded kraits, the wounds will be painless and non-itchy.

Many people even thought it was a bite from a non-venomous snake.

After being bitten by a venomous snake with neurotoxins, mild pain at the wound is likely to occur.

Symptoms include abnormal limb sensation, drowsiness, motor nerve dysfunction, difficulty swallowing, and fatigue.

If bitten by a venomous snake with hemotoxic venom, such as the bamboo viper or the five-step snake,

The wound will then cause excruciating pain, even unbearable pain, until the person faints.

In addition, the wound will bleed profusely.

The wound may swell, blister, or even develop gangrene and ulcers.

If you don't believe me, you can take a look at Brother Dashan's wounds and see if it's as I described.

Everyone crowded around to look, and it really was just as Lu Qingqing had said.

As if grasping a glimmer of light in the darkness, Sister Liu looked at Lu Qingqing through teary eyes.

Her voice trembled as she said, "My dear sister, I believe you."

Please, please save the mountains, I beg you!

Lu Qingqing comforted her, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will do my best to save Brother Dashan."

He then directed everyone to help carefully move the mountain into the house.

Everyone busied themselves with the task, lifting people up and down.

The people making the bed quickly settled Dashan onto the bed inside the room.

Lu Qingqing took a deep breath, preparing to begin her all-out effort to treat Dashan.

She told everyone to wait outside. The crowd looked at each other, filled with anxiety but also helpless.

As soon as the door closed, Lu Qingqing quickly took out the serum from the laboratory from her spatial storage.

She secretly rejoiced, thankful that she usually liked to stock up on medicine, which was just in time to save lives.

Looking at the unconscious Dashan, she thought with lingering fear,

Fortunately, they were discovered early; if it had been a few hours later...

Da Shan is probably going to report to the King of Hell soon.

Lu Qingqing quickly prepared the syringe.

Disinfect, draw serum, and then locate the acupoints.

The serum was precisely injected into Dashan's body.

After doing all this, her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

But his eyes were filled with anticipation and hope, silently praying that the serum would work as soon as possible.

They pulled Da Shan back from the brink of death.
