He began to treat Jiang Wangshan with meticulous acupuncture treatment.

Every time she inserts an needle, it reflects the precision of her years of experience and her deep concern for her patients.

Jiang Wangshan's condition was complicated, and because he was busy with many affairs during the day and could not receive treatment, Su Yu had to continue working until late at night. She finally stopped her work until the sky was full of stars.

Although he was physically and mentally exhausted, Su Yu felt a genuine sense of satisfaction as he witnessed Jiang Wangshan gradually getting better thanks to his efforts. All the exhaustion seemed to be worth it at this moment.

Just as Su Yu was about to wash up and take a rest to relax his tense nerves, there was a sudden and anxious knock on the door, accompanied by Uncle Li's familiar and anxious cry: "Ziling's family, Ziling's family, come and save them!"

Su Yu's sleepiness was immediately dispelled by the sudden call. She sat up from the bed with a start, knowing that she must have encountered an emergency at this moment.

Jiang Ziling said softly, "From the sound of his voice, it must be Mr. Li."

Su Yu nodded slightly. She also recognized the familiar and slightly flustered voice.

"You rest here first, I'll go out and take a look."

As Su Yu spoke, he quickly stood up and prepared to go out.

At the same time, Zhao was also disturbed from her sleep by the noise outside. She complained unhappily, her words full of sarcasm: "What on earth is the purpose of these ghosts howling in the middle of the night!"

Such words undoubtedly made Uncle Li, who came to ask for help, feel very aggrieved.

The Nanyue Kingdom had a long-standing custom of "making a fuss at funerals", that is, when someone in the family died, in addition to the usual mourning ceremony, they would also invite suona artists to play music to create a noisy farewell. However, Zhao's unintentional words sounded like an ominous curse to Uncle Li.

Su Yu ignored this and walked straight to the door, with concern in her tone: "Uncle Li, is there any emergency?"

The moment the door opened, Uncle Li seemed to see a ray of hope. He tightly grasped Su Yu's hand and spoke anxiously, "Come with me to see your wife. She has been talking nonsense since dinner, and then she kept vomiting. Now she is unconscious."

Su Yu's expression was calm, and her joking intention was immediately restrained, but she did not immediately follow Uncle Li out. "Uncle Li, please wait a moment, I will go back to the house to get the medicine box."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Li suddenly came to his senses and quickly let go of his hand.

In the heat of the moment, I forgot basic etiquette. If someone saw me pulling each other like this, I would inevitably be criticized and subjected to rumors.

Su Yu did not hesitate for long, and immediately turned into the house and quickly packed up the necessary medical supplies.

What she called a "medicine box" was actually a small basket woven with fine bamboo strips.

Su Yu carefully placed golden needles and several precious detoxifying pills into the basket. Based on the symptoms described by Uncle Li, he selected several targeted herbs and put them into the basket. Then he picked up the basket and hurried out with Uncle Li.

"Let's go quickly."

Su Yu's pace was fast and determined. Even though Uncle Li was old, he was urged by the sense of urgency to quicken his pace.

When he entered Uncle Li's house, he saw Aunt Li lying on the bed. As Uncle Li said, she was unconscious and did not respond to calls from the outside world. Su Yu quickly stepped forward to check her pulse and carefully examined Aunt Li's eyelids to determine her condition.

"She is showing symptoms of poisoning. What did she eat last night?"

Su Yu asked in a serious tone.

"Poisoned?"

Uncle Li's voice trembled, and he was obviously frightened by the sudden news: "I just ate some wild mushrooms picked from the mountain..."

"What kind of wild mushrooms are they?"

Su Yu asked.

"It's just the common kind. I pick it and eat it every year. I didn't expect to get poisoned this time..."

Uncle Li was so nervous that he spoke incoherently and there seemed to be tears in his eyes.

Su Yu took a deep breath, tried to stay calm, and continued to ask: "You mentioned before that she has been vomiting, where is the vomit? Let me see!"

Although Uncle Li's legs were weak, he still forced himself to lead Su Yu into the yard at the critical moment.

The pile of vomit lay quietly in the corner. Su Yu held a candle in one hand to illuminate it and carefully fiddled with a branch in the other. He soon discovered the key to the problem - among those wild mushrooms, there was a poisonous fungus called boletus, which would cause poisoning if not cooked properly.

In mild cases, it can cause severe vomiting, diarrhea and hallucinations; in severe cases, it can damage internal organs and endanger life.

"Uncle Li, you look fine. Did you not eat anything, or did you eat very little?"

Su Yu asked doubtfully.

Judging from the amount of vomit in front of her, Aunt Li had obviously consumed a lot.

Uncle Li patted his belly and smiled bitterly: "Hey, I saw that she really liked to eat this, so I left it all for her. I didn't taste any of it myself."

At this moment, the regret and self-blame in his heart surged like a tide. If he had shared some of the burden at the beginning, perhaps his wife would not have suffered such serious consequences and he could have alleviated some of her pain.

The corners of Su Yu's mouth twitched unconsciously. This was the best example of "He who loves his wife is always healthy". Didn't the scene before him prove this point? If Uncle Li had tasted it, he would probably have to endure the same torment at this moment.

The cause of the disease has been identified, and Su Yu also has a plan in mind.

In the past, when Su Yu was practicing medicine in the mountains with his master, cases of poisoning from accidentally eating wild mushrooms were not uncommon. Therefore, dealing with such situations was a piece of cake for Su Yu.

However, the more difficult problem at the moment is that Aunt Li is old and her body functions cannot be compared with those of young people. In addition, the amount of toxins she ingested is large. Although she has vomited out some toxins, there is still a possibility that residual toxins will damage her internal organs and nervous system, thus causing her to continue in a coma.

"Help the person up gently first."

Su Yu gave the order calmly. Every second that followed was crucial.

Uncle Li pursed his lips tightly, looking nervous but determined, and followed Su Yu's instructions.

Su Yu deftly brought an old wooden basin with a smooth edge and placed it under Aunt Li. He then took out a carefully selected goose feather tube from his sleeve and skillfully touched Aunt Li's throat.

Beneath that gentle movement, there was an irresistible force that triggered a natural reaction deep within Aunt Li's body.

Although Aunt Li had tried to vomit on her own before, this time, under the subtle stimulation of the goose feather tube, the food residues remaining in her stomach, mixed with a pungent and sour smell, seemed to have found an outlet and rushed out all at once, accompanied by Aunt Li's painful dry retching sounds.
