Chapter 389: The Poison of the Haunted House
"Wei Qidong, don't believe them." Zhu Beichen said.
Zhu Beichen stood in the middle of the road, holding a stick. He was panting, stuffing food into his mouth, and eating while blocking the way of Chen Shigui and others.
Because she had run all the way from the Jindan Pharmacy, and she was still weak, she stumbled along the way, and her hair was disheveled and tied in a knot, hanging behind her, and she also emitted a foul smell.
Just now, as he was helping Ah Qi out of the Golden Elixir Pharmacy, a gust of wind blew in their faces. The pungent smell of rouge in the wind made him frown. Suddenly, he thought of something and quickly grabbed a handful of soil and asked Doctor Li to examine it.
Doctor Li, under his tyranny, dug up the dirt and examined it carefully. He then put it in clean water and examined it again. Suddenly, he exclaimed, "It's the poison from the haunted house."
Doctor Li didn't wait for Zhu Beichen to ask before he quickly explained, "It's a bacterial toxin. Nine out of ten people who are poisoned will die, so it's called a haunted house."
Zhu Beichen's expression changed drastically. "You mean there's no antidote for this poison?"
Ah Qi gritted his teeth and said, "The soil is poisonous. It must be from yesterday's fire. There's something wrong with that rouge shop. They want to turn the capital into a dead city!"
Of course Zhu Beichen thought of this as well, so his expression was very solemn.
When Doctor Li heard the words "dead city," his face paled, but he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly, "The poison in this haunted house was untreatable before, but that may no longer be the case."
Zhu Beichen grabbed him and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Hiss" Doctor Li felt pain.
This kid is so sick, but he still has such strong hands.
Doctor Li clapped his hands and tremblingly pointed to a Chinese medicine cabinet and said to Ah Qi, "Go and get the mung beans over there. I'll get the vinegar."
Ah Qi hurried forward, pulled out the drawer containing mung beans, and placed it on the counter.
Doctor Li had already had vinegar poured into the medicine jar. "Quick, soak and boil the mung beans in vinegar. That should detoxify."
Ah Qi held the mung beans in his hands and asked, "Doctor Li, how much mung beans should I use?"
Doctor Li said, "Try grabbing a couple of handfuls first. I don't know the dosage, so you guys try it first and I'll see how it works."
Zhu Beichen frowned: "So you are using me to test the medicine?"
Doctor Li quickly explained, "The poison in this haunted house has been so potent that no one has been able to cure it since ancient times."
At this point, he quickly comforted Zhu Beichen, "Master Zhu, please be patient and listen to what I have to say."
He continued, "No one has ever been able to cure the poison in this haunted house, but when the princess passed away, she left me a book on medicine. It says that eating mung beans soaked in vinegar and water can cure the poison in this haunted house."
Speaking of the eldest princess, Zhu Beichen's eyes lit up. The eldest princess is the junior master of Xuantian Sect, and the medicine book she took out should be credible.
He couldn't wait to cook the beans with vinegar, so he grabbed a handful of mung beans and prepared to drink them with vinegar, but was stopped by Doctor Li.
"Oh, Master Zhu, the medicine book says to soak and boil mung beans in vinegar. You must boil them. Perhaps this is the only way to overcome the poison in the haunted house. One wrong step can lead to a huge mistake.
Green beans, when crushed and eaten raw, treat rash and heat, and external toxins. Cooked green beans, however, reduce swelling, flatulence, and fever, and treat internal toxins.
"Your health is so bad, you dare not take any more medicine. I don't know what's happening in the capital right now, so you must not get into any trouble. Your Majesty and the people are all waiting for you to save them!"
Although he is a doctor, he is not stupid. He knows that the current situation is very serious.
Zhu Beichen: "Then grind it up and cook it. Wouldn't that be faster?"
"Yes, yes, Lord Zhu is very smart."
Doctor Li was about to witness the conquest of the poison in the haunted house, so although he was worried about the turmoil in the government, he felt much more relaxed and even spoke in a humorous and flattering manner.
Zhu Beichen was anxious. He knew without even looking that the capital was in a precarious situation, so he couldn't wait.
Knowing the soil was poisonous, he realized that the fire last night was a premeditated act of poisoning. The fire started in the south of the city, and a southeasterly wind blew for a day and a night. The poison from the haunted house was wrapped in smoke and carried away by the wind...
The entire capital city was under the downwind, including the imperial palace.
He looked up at the sky worriedly: I don’t know how His Majesty is doing?
He clutched his stomach and ran to the toilet again, then came back and ate the old eggs and drank the vinegar.
He is like that. He eats after he poops, and then poops again after he eats. Otherwise, he would have lay down long ago.
Your Majesty has a royal physician in the palace. This poison will not kill people immediately, so he cannot be anxious. He must detoxify it quickly. Only after detoxification will he have the strength to deal with the thieves.
Zhu Beichen forced himself to eat, but when he felt like vomiting, he closed his eyes and stopped for a while, waiting until his stomach felt better before continuing to eat.
Ah Qi also took a sip of vinegar, suppressed the nausea, and asked, "The antidote is so simple, how come no one has discovered it?"
Doctor Li sighed and explained, "The poison in the haunted house will initially cause vomiting and diarrhea, followed by tinnitus, chills, and finally numbness in the limbs. No medicine can cure it.
When people treat the poison in the haunted house, they also try to stop vomiting and diarrhea, just like how I prescribed medicine to treat this plague.
The method of soaking and boiling mung beans in vinegar water recorded in the book...
"Master Zhu should know that although mung beans can detoxify, they are cold in nature. Eating too much will cause diarrhea even for a normal person, let alone a patient with vomiting and diarrhea. So who would have thought of using vinegar to soak mung beans to treat the poison in the haunted house?"
Only when all the toxins in the body are emptied can a person recover. He had thought of this method when he was reading the book. It should be used in reverse, to stop the leakage with the drainage.
Zhu Beichen nodded: "Yeah, who would have thought of using diarrhea medicine to treat diarrhea?"
The mung beans soaked in vinegar quickly cooked through. Zhu Beichen couldn't wait any longer, so he filled a bowl and drank it, grimacing at the scalding heat.
Sure enough, after Zhu Beichen, Ah Qi, and the other patients in the room, including Doctor Li, drank the vinegar-soaked mung beans, their stomachs churned even more in less than half an incense stick of time. They squatted in the toilet and started to "crackle."
As Doctor Li defecated, he weakly called out from the toilet, "Cook porridge! Quickly cook some porridge."
If this continues, even if the poison in the haunted house is eliminated, the person will lose half his life due to dehydration.
So, in the Jindan Pharmacy, people were drinking porridge on one side and chatting on the other.
Some people simply carried their porridge bowls into the toilet, and the porridge went in with a "whoosh whoosh" sound from above and came out with a "clack clack" sound from below. This person was none other than Zhu Beichen.
Even so, when his stomachache finally stopped, he was lying on the ground, unable to move at all.
He said weakly, "Aqi, can you please drag me out? I want to go to the palace."
Doctor Li couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he walked over and quietly stuffed half a nutritional pill into his mouth.
Zhu Beichen only felt a fairy air, like the breeze and bright moon enveloping his body, and like sweet dew refreshing his heart.
