If Xie Yan knew about this, she would definitely think that it would be best if such a family, or clan, was destroyed.

But Xie Jianhua back then was also another Xie Yan.

From then on, Xie Kangyu turned a blind eye to the many provocative actions of his cousin Xie Kangyun's family. In order to protect Lin Xiaoya, he had to swallow his anger.

On the other hand, Xie Kangyun was also anxious to send Lin Xiaoya away.

Xie Kangyun and his wife were not evil criminals, but ordinary people who were controlled by the clan.

The reason why they were reluctant to send Lin Xiaoya away was that they knew it would be difficult for Lin Xiaoya to escape from this village surrounded by mountains.

The Liangmu Mountain mentioned by Lin Xiaoya is not far from Xiangshan Mountain where Xiangjiazhai is located. It can be reached by simply climbing over a small hill of a few hundred meters.

Before the liberation of Liangmu Mountain, it was a den of bandits and the people there were fierce and brutal. Even many years after the founding of New China, theft and robbery still occurred.

Back then, when Yang Qin's grandparents were passing by Liangmu Mountain with their children and grandchildren, they were robbed by bandits.

Originally, Yang Qin's family had some abundant assets, but they were all left on Liangmu Mountain.

How could Yang Qin not know that Lin Xiaoya was abducted and sold to Liangmu Mountain by the hateful human traffickers.

Xie Kangyun is the only veterinarian nearby. When he went to the countryside, he had heard that a family from the neighboring mountain was looking for Lin Xiaoya everywhere.

At that time, the nearby mountain villages were all organized into families, or in other words, the gentry formed by clans were the remnants of thousands of years of feudal society.

That family, including dozens of relatives, searched everywhere for Lin Xiaoya's whereabouts.

As soon as Lin Xiaoya shows up, she will be discovered and taken back to Liangmu Mountain.

The residents of the mountain are the descendants of the bandits back then. If Lin Xiaoya falls into their hands, she will definitely be in great danger.

The couple originally wanted to protect Lin Xiaoya, but they never expected that Lin Xiaoya would be favored by Xie Kangyu. Facing his own relatives, Xie Kangyu was very indecisive and didn't know how to properly deal with it.

The most infuriating thing is that Xie Kangyu is a despicable villain who will do anything to achieve his goals.

It was a sunny afternoon. At the invitation of the villagers, Xie Kangyun went down the mountain to treat a seriously sick sheep.

His running back stretched out in the sunlight. He was anxious to treat the sheep of the farmer at the foot of the mountain, and he didn't realize that the pair of sinister eyes behind him were staring at him closely.

Xie Kangyu took advantage of this opportunity and sneaked into Xie Kangyun's simple but tidy pharmacy.

His eyes wandered among the medicine cabinets, and finally stopped on the herb called Aconitum.

The tuberous roots of Aconitum are extremely toxic, and are pungent, bitter and hot in nature.

It has the effects of dispelling wind and dampness, warming the meridians and relieving pain.

In traditional Chinese medicine, it is used for wind-cold, dampness, itching, joint pain, cold pain in the heart and abdomen, pain caused by cold hernia, and anesthesia and pain relief.

In traditional Chinese veterinary medicine, it is used to relieve pain in animals and is one of the commonly used medicines.

It is a good medicine for treating rheumatism, pain, and bruises, but raw aconite without processing is highly toxic and can kill humans and animals if not used with care.

Xie Kangyu curled up the corner of his mouth into a sneer. He carefully opened the medicine jar and mixed a handful of raw aconite into the northern aconite that should have been safe and harmless.

After doing all this, he patted the dust off his hands with satisfaction, as if he had completed a masterpiece, and then left Xie Kangyun's pharmacy quietly.

A few days later, an anxious villager found Xie Kangyun, whose buffalo was sick and needed urgent treatment.

Without saying a word, Xie Kangyun picked up his medicine box and went down the mountain with the villagers.

After a careful diagnosis, he determined that the buffalo was suffering from rheumatism.

Even today, the cause of rheumatism has not been fully elucidated and may be related to infection, genetics, immunity, etc.

However, it is generally believed that rheumatism is an allergic reaction and is related to hemolytic streptococcal infection.

There are two main pathological processes caused by hemolytic streptococcal infection: suppurative infection and delayed non-suppurative complications after infection, namely allergic diseases.

Chinese veterinarians usually identify rheumatism as the latter.

Veterinarians like Xie Kangyun have their own insights after years of practice and data analysis: factors such as wind, cold, dampness, and excessive fatigue in livestock play an important role in the onset of rheumatism.

Rheumatism can be caused by a damp and cold pen, being drenched in cold rain after sweating profusely, being attacked by a strong wind, sleeping in a cold and damp place at night, or doing improper labor.

The sick animals have obvious symptoms such as warmth, swelling, pain and functional disorders in the affected parts, as well as systemic symptoms such as increased body temperature.

The disease usually improves or heals after a few days, but it is prone to relapse.

Sick animals tire easily and have difficulty in movement.

The owner of such a buffalo is likely to sell it.

It was thanks to veterinarians like Xie Kangyun that the old buffalo was cured.

Xie Kangyun used the smoked and roasted Northern Aconitum as a prescription without hesitation. It can both relieve pain and treat rheumatism, and is one of the most ideal medicines.

However, what he never expected was that this time, the Aconitum in his hand was no longer a life-saving medicine, but turned into a deadly poison.

When the bowl of medicine mixed with raw aconite was poured into the buffalo's mouth, the buffalo, which was still barely holding on, suddenly convulsed and fell to the ground in a few seconds. Its limbs twitched, and it foamed at the mouth. Soon it died.

When the villagers saw this, they were filled with grief and anger. They had spent money to hire a doctor to treat the cow, but the doctor failed to cure it and not only did he kill the cow.

If I had known earlier that I would not treat it, I could have sold the buffalo directly and got some money back. Now the dead buffalo cannot be sold at all.

In anger, the owner and relatives lost their minds, surrounded Xie Kangyun, and beat him up with punches and kicks until he passed out.

When Xie Kangyun woke up, he was already in bed at home, with unbearable pain all over his body, especially his right hand, which was swollen like a steamed bun, obviously with a fracture.

Yang Qin was crying bitterly. She applied golden ointment to Xie Kangyun to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis while telling him what had happened.

Xie Kangyun struggled to get up. The pain all over his body made him frown, but his eyes were unusually firm.

He cannot fall down at this moment. He is the head of the family and must support this family.

"Yang Qin, don't cry, I'm fine, aren't I?" Xie Kangyun comforted Yang Qin softly.

Several children gathered around his bed, their eyes full of worry.

They had never seen their father in such a miserable state, and they had no idea how this sudden disaster had come about.

Lin Xiaoya stood aside, covering her face with a towel, tears streaming through her fingers.

Although she had only been in this family for a short time, Xie Kangyun's kindness and integrity had already deeply touched her.

She couldn't believe that such a good doctor like Xie Kangyun would suffer such a misfortune.

Xie Kangyun turned to look at the children, forced a smile, and said, "Don't be afraid, children, Dad will be fine. Jianhua, go get the medicine box, I need to check my injuries."

Upon hearing this, Xie Jianhua immediately ran to the corner, picked up the already somewhat worn medicine box, and carefully handed it to his father.

Xie Kangyun took the medicine box and opened the lid. Inside were various herbs and medical instruments.

He skillfully took out the bandage and splint, ready to fix his broken right hand.

Before he took action, he suddenly stopped, frowning as if he was thinking about something.

"Second brother, do you think what happened today is normal?" Xie Kangyun suddenly asked.

Xie Jianhua was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "That's not normal, Dad. No matter how much Aconitum he eats, it's impossible for it to kill a 700-pound buffalo, unless it's raw Aconitum. But we don't have raw Aconitum at home."
