Chapter 182 Chi Lin's Food Poisoning

Chi Lin rolled down from who-knows-which floor, and his forehead was cut open.

Besides the bloodstains on his forehead, he also had red spots on his neck.

When he first came in, did he have any red spots on his neck?

There shouldn't be any, otherwise, with his fair skin, Deng Yin would have noticed the red spots.

Not knowing what was wrong with him, Deng Yin first fed him a bowl of river water before going to find Liu Ding.

I don't know if it will work, but I'll try anything.

Chi Lin lay upside down on the stairs. Liu Ding first helped him to an open space before starting to examine the red spots on his neck.

The wound on his head bled very little, so it shouldn't have been the cause of his unconsciousness.

Because of the difference between men and women, Liu Ding could not lift his clothes to check him; she could only rely on the little bit of skin he was exposed to try to find out the real cause of his illness.

"What did he do before he fainted?" Liu Ding asked.

"Does it count as us having a fight?" To be precise, it was Deng Yin who argued with him unilaterally, and Chi Lin didn't get angry at all.

"No, it doesn't. A heart attack caused by internal heat can indeed cause fainting, but it won't cause a rash." It was Liu Ding's first time treating someone, so she was a little nervous and went through everything she knew.

“I remember now,” Deng Yin interrupted Liu Ding’s thoughts, “Does drinking a bowl of watermelon juice count?”

"I guess so!" The sudden fainting and red spots on her body were most likely due to pollen, but there were no flowers or pollen outside, which was why Liu Ding couldn't draw a conclusion.

Some people can have a reaction similar to food poisoning, but such people are rare. I've only ever heard of this before, and this is the first time I've ever seen it.

"What can we do? Can he still be saved?" Deng Yin had never heard of anyone fainting after eating watermelon. On Heze Star, such inferior genes that cause food rejection had long been eradicated.

"I'll give it a try." It was the first time Liu Ding had met someone like this, and she wasn't sure she was up to the task.

There were no medicinal herbs available at the moment; the ones Deng Yin had collected were all growing in his space. Liu Ding could only try to use chopsticks to pry open Chi Lin's mouth and make him spit out the watermelon juice.

The commotion was so loud that everyone inside heard it, and several people rushed over. Deng Yin sent them all back, except for Gou Dan.

You can't lie flat when you vomit, or you'll choke. Deng Yin had Gou Dan support Chi Lin, and she placed a wooden basin on the ground to prevent him from vomiting outside.

Liu Ding pinched Chi Lin's mouth with one hand and used chopsticks in the other to press down on the back of his tongue.

Actually, using chopsticks isn't very effective; using your hands is the best. You don't have to worry about hurting anyone, and it's also the most effective way to induce vomiting.

However, this method can only be used by close relatives. Even if the doctor says it is for the purpose of treating and saving lives, there are bottom lines that cannot be crossed.

The chopsticks were too thin; even pressing them under the tongue wouldn't make a person who had fainted vomit.

This kind of acute illness must be treated as soon as possible, otherwise my life will be in danger.

Deng Yin took over Gou Dan's job and instructed him, "The chopsticks are useless. Use your hands to pry it out and make him spit it out."

"Why don't you go?" Dog Egg also had a cleanliness obsession; he couldn't stand other people's saliva.

“I’m afraid he’ll bite my hand,” Deng Yin replied.

Dog Egg: "?"

He pushed Deng Yin out of the way and reclaimed his own position. "You're not strong enough, I'll do this kind of work."

That's utter nonsense, but Chi Lin's current state is inextricably linked to Deng Yin.

Deng Yin had no choice but to take on this dangerous task. She poured a basin of river water beforehand, hoping that if she was bitten, timely treatment would reduce the pain.

Is this some kind of supernatural occurrence? Did she commit murder and arson in her past life? Why is she always doing this kind of caregiving work in this life?

Deng Yin used the metal sheet in his left hand to pry open his mouth.

If no protective measures were taken, Deng Yin was afraid that Chi Lin would bite off her fingers.

Before putting his hand into Chi Lin's mouth, Deng Yin rinsed his hand in the water, took a deep breath, and mentally prepared himself.

“yue......yueyue.......”

This method was very effective. Deng Yin awakened her talent for vomiting. As soon as Chi Lin finished vomiting, she continued to induce vomiting until he could no longer vomit.

Chi Lin's face was pale, devoid of any color, and the bloodstains on his forehead looked even more gruesome.

But it looks much better than before; at least the person is awake.

Chi Lin had actually woken up long ago. He had just finished vomiting when Deng Yin pried his mouth open. Before he could speak, another wave of vomiting came over him.

He was already weak, so Deng Yin pried open his mouth to stop him from saying what he couldn't. Gou Dan held him down so he couldn't resist.

Tears slid down Chi Lin's face and onto Deng Yin's hand; they were physiological tears produced by his vomiting.

Once the person woke up, half the illness was cured. Deng Yin made way for Liu Ding.

She first took Chi Lin's pulse, then examined the red spots on his neck.

"He'll be fine once he vomits it out, but some residual toxins will remain in his body. He'll need to take some medicine to fully recover."

"Just tell me what medicinal herbs you need." Deng Yin felt a pang of heartache, but since this matter concerned her, she couldn't just sit idly by.

With Gou Dan and Chi Lin both in her life, Deng Yin suddenly wondered if they were incompatible with her. Otherwise, why would she always have to pay so much for their health?

Deng Yin, the culprit, turned the tables and blamed others. Even if we take a step back, if it weren't for her, Chi Lin and Gou Dan wouldn't have needed medical treatment.

Deng Yin should be at odds with those two.

Although the man was now awake, he looked haggard, and his head was injured from being knocked open. Deng Yin had no choice but to let him stay.

Deng Yin called downstairs, "Cui Wuji, you should go back first. He's been staying here recently. Pick him up next time you come."

Deng Yin shouted the emperor's name in front of so many people, but Cui Wuji was not angry. On the contrary, he felt rather happy.

From what she said, she was willing to tell him what the upcoming natural disasters would be.

"Okay, I'll come again next time."

The two of them settled the matter in just a few words, without asking Chi Lin's opinion.

Of course, he wouldn't object if I asked.
