Only when her stomach was empty and there was nothing left did Aunt Li lean weakly on Uncle Li's strong arms as if relieved of a heavy burden. Her face was pale and consciousness gradually returned.

Seeing this, Su Yu quickly and skillfully prepared several large bowls of light salt water at a suitable temperature, and gently but firmly fed it to Aunt Li.

The good news is that this time Aunt Li seemed to have sensed her body's distress signal. Without Su Yu saying anything more, she took the initiative to vomit out all the remaining toxins and impurities in her body.

The whole process was repeated five or six times until the saline solution spit out from Aunt Li's mouth became clear, with only a few tiny bubbles floating on it. No turbidity or impurities could be seen anymore, which indicated that the gastric lavage process was a complete success.

Su Yu then used his superb acupuncture skills to accurately control the further spread of the toxin in Aunt Li's body, and at the same time gave her several pills that could effectively protect her heart and liver.

After everything was arranged, she hurried back to her simple home and looked for the medicinal herbs that were usually placed randomly.

These herbs were originally prepared to stop vomiting and calm emotions, but now it seems that they are not the right choice.

In the emergency situation of accidentally eating poisonous mushrooms, the best solution is to use antidote medicine.

To detoxify this poison, the herbs needed are simple and direct - 60 grams of raw licorice and 10 grams of angelica. For an elderly person like Aunt Li, auxiliary herbs that protect the liver and kidneys must also be added to ensure safety.

Su Yu quickly gathered what he needed and set out again on the journey to Uncle Li's house.

As soon as we entered the room, we saw that Aunt Li was still in hallucination and her speech was incoherent, while Uncle Li was sweating profusely. He almost used up all his strength to put one foot on the bed, trying to steady her restless hands, and his expression revealed fatigue that was hard to conceal.

"You're trying to control her, aren't you?"

Seeing this, Su Yu asked with concern.

Uncle Li's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and it was obvious that such support was not easy for him.

"Yeah, I'm afraid she might accidentally touch the needle on her body."

Uncle Li answered while panting.

Su Yu nodded slightly, inwardly praising his attentiveness.

She then stepped forward, carefully felt the pulse, gently removed the golden needle from Aunt Li's body, and comforted Uncle Li: "Don't worry, you can let her go, just be careful not to let her hurt herself accidentally."

Pointing to the prepared herbs on the table, Su Yu continued, "The antidote I prepared is there. Go and boil it quickly. Let her take it after it cools down."

Uncle Li nodded heavily, carefully put away the herbs, picked up the wooden basin full of filth, and walked out with heavy steps.

Su Yu looked at Aunt Li's hands that were out of control due to hallucinations, and her helpless look as she muttered to herself, and couldn't help but recall the time when she deliberately made things difficult for him.

Although he is old and has a bit of a domineering personality, I think this is also due to Uncle Li's year-round doting on him.

However, she later personally brought eggs to apologize, and her sincerity and regret showed that she was kind by nature.

In order to help Aunt Li get a better rest, Su Yu began to gently massage several calming points on her head, hoping to help her calm down.

Soon, Uncle Li came back with the steaming hot but cooled medicine soup, and patiently fed it to Aunt Li one spoonful at a time.

After Aunt Li swallowed the last drop of the medicine, Uncle Li's eyes were full of worry, and he asked in a trembling voice: "After drinking this medicine, her life should not be in danger, right?"

Su Yu shook her head gently and comforted her in the most gentle and firm voice: "It will be fine, but these symptoms may last for a while until the medicine takes effect and the situation improves. At the same time, it may be accompanied by diarrhea. You may need to stay by her side tonight and observe her condition closely."

"Okay, okay, no problem, I'll keep watch."

There was a hint of relief and determination in Uncle Li's tone, as if this brief promise could dispel all uneasiness.

His heavy body slowly sank into the chair, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.

The more I thought about it, the more fear came over me. The fear of almost losing my loved ones turned into sobs, and the whimpering sound from my throat was like dead leaves swaying in the night wind, fragile and sad.

Su Yu looked at Uncle Li's wrinkled but tearful eyes and felt flustered.

Oh, she was really not good at dealing with such situations. Her words of comfort were like grains of sand that she couldn't hold on to.

After thinking for a while, Su Yu reluctantly squeezed out a suggestion: "Then I'll go back first. You prepare some light salt water. She can drink more when she has diarrhea. It's good for her recovery."

She knew in her heart that persuading people not to cry would not really solve the problem. Emotions were sometimes like a full pond that needed an outlet to vent.

Her presence seemed to prevent Uncle Li from fully releasing his emotions. It would be better for her to leave temporarily so that the old man could cry his heart out and release his inner fear and worry.

Knowing that Su Yu was leaving, Uncle Li quickly agreed, his voice mixed with gratitude: "Okay, Ziling's wife, thank you so much for tonight."

After saying this, he hurriedly stood up and wanted to get the medical fee to show his gratitude.

Su Yu quickly stretched out his hand to stop him, a gentle smile on his face, and his words were full of neighborly kindness: "No need, Uncle Li, just have a good rest. We are all from the same village, so why do we need to ask for any medical fee!"

Uncle Li shook his head stubbornly, his eyes flashing with determination, and he wanted to express his deep gratitude to Su Yu from the bottom of his heart.

If she hadn't acted in time, the outcome of tonight would have been disastrous.

This was the second time Su Yu saved his partner, and each time it seemed like a blessing from the god of fate.

When their children are not around, the two old people are left to rely on each other. Without either of them, life will become extremely difficult.

From the bottom of the box, he pulled out a piece of silver that had been corroded by time and oxidized to a black color. Uncle Li insisted on giving it to Su Yu, with tears in his eyes: "Take it, you saved my wife's life, I..."

Having said this, he choked up again, turned around and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve.

Su Yu held the warm piece of silver in his hand, feeling the heavy emotions it conveyed, and having mixed feelings.

Faced with Uncle Li's firm attitude, she finally compromised and accepted this generous gratitude.

She secretly vowed to herself that she would take better care of the lonely old couple in the future so that they could have more warmth and support in their later years.

When he returned home, Jiang Ziling's anxious face came into view, and he asked with concern: "How is Aunt Li?"

He didn't fully catch the conversation outside, but he was keenly aware of Su Yu's movements in and out of the kitchen. Apart from getting medicine, he couldn't think of any other reason.

Especially since the visitor was Uncle Li and there were only two elderly people at home, Jiang Ziling became worried, thinking that Aunt Li was not feeling well.
