The man who came was named Tao Jiaping, the youngest son of Tao Dazhuang in the brigade. He was usually a clever young man. Feng Qingqing suddenly remembered that Tao Jiaping seemed to be quite close to He Yong'an. She recalled that He Yong'an had mentioned to her that he had two good friends in the brigade, and this must be one of them.

Feng Qingqing guessed correctly. Tao Jiaping was indeed He Yong'an's good brother. He came today mainly because his father was bitten by a snake while working in the fields, and his condition did not look good. Upon seeing this, he immediately rushed to the clinic, but found the gate locked. He also remembered that Dr. Wang had already gone to his son's place early this morning.

It was said that the newly arrived Feng Zhiqing was a new medic. Tao Jiaping wondered how skilled he was, and since he had already arrived, he couldn't just turn back. He had to let someone take a look at him. At this point, the entire brigade only had Feng Zhiqing as a medic. Tao Jiaping had no choice but to try anything.

While they were pacing around waiting for Feng Qingqing to return, someone else was already wondering if the old man had gotten the oxcart ready yet, as it was a matter of life and death.

Seeing Feng Qingqing approaching, he quickly stepped forward and blurted out:

“Feng Zhiqing, my father has been bitten by a snake. Please go and take a look at him quickly.”

Although Tao Jiaping didn't think Feng Qingqing could play a significant role, he was always prudent in his actions and wouldn't needlessly offend anyone in this matter.

Feng Qingqing felt a chill run down her spine after hearing this. After all, being bitten by a snake could be a serious matter or a minor one. She had heard about it after arriving at Lanshan Brigade. A few years ago, a child was bitten by a snake while digging for wild vegetables on a hillside, and even though he was taken to the commune hospital, he couldn't be saved.

She didn't waste any more time. After putting down her things, she quickly grabbed the key, opened the door of the clinic, pushed the flatbed cart inside, and placed it in the yard. Then she went inside to carry her medicine box, which contained some commonly used medicines from the clinic, as well as some herbs left behind by Dr. Wang when he left.

After coming out, they locked the gate again.

Feng Qingqing was in good physical condition. Tao Jiaping had originally prepared to slow down and wait for her, but she ran ahead of him. This made him feel even more favorably toward Feng Qingqing. Although he didn't know how good her medical skills were, at least her attitude was commendable.

The two quickly arrived at the scene of the accident, one after the other; Feng Qingqing was naturally in front. However, Tao Jiaping no longer needed to lead the way; from afar, she could see a group of people gathered at the foot of a field, and occasionally, she could hear the voices of what sounded like family members urging them on.

"Has the doctor arrived yet? Go and urge him, why hasn't he come yet?"

Before Feng Qingqing even reached them, one of the people surrounding the perimeter saw her carrying a medicine box and exclaimed with delight:

"The doctor is here, the doctor is here, Feng Zhiqing is here."

The family members, who had initially shown relief upon hearing that the doctor had arrived, immediately began complaining upon learning that a former educated youth had come:

"Doctor is a doctor, what Feng the educated youth, what are you talking about now? Where is Doctor Wang? Doctor Wang, come quickly, you have to save him."

As she spoke, she became so worried that she started to cry.

At this point, someone who knew the situation quickly explained to Old Tao's family:

"Dr. Wang has gone back to his son's place and is no longer in Lanshan Brigade. Now, Feng Zhiqing is in charge of our brigade's clinic. You can also call her Dr. Feng."

Upon hearing this, the Tao family member immediately jumped up in anger:

"What? Dr. Wang is gone? Why did he leave at this time? Isn't this going against our family? Besides, what does a mere educated youth know?"

Although the people around her had some reservations about Feng Qingqing, an educated youth, becoming a medic, after all, she was originally an educated youth, and after only three days of training, she was appointed as a medic. With nearly a thousand people in Lanshan Brigade, it didn't seem right no matter how you looked at it, and they didn't know what the commune hospital was thinking.

Although I thought that way, since the person was already there, it wouldn't be appropriate to just say it out loud in front of them.

Although Feng Qingqing heard it, she remained unmoved. She had neither the time nor the inclination to argue with the older woman. Instead, she calmly addressed the Tao family:

"If you continue to linger here, you'll be responsible for any problems that arise."

People around them came over to persuade them, saying that getting medical treatment was the priority.

Feng Qingqing glanced around and spotted several educated youths among the onlookers, but they didn't say much, and their eyes revealed that they didn't think highly of her.

After being persuaded by those around her, the Tao family member reluctantly stepped aside, revealing Tao Dazhuang, who had been hidden from view.

At this point, about ten minutes had passed since Tao Dazhuang was bitten by the snake. He was lying on the straw with his face slightly pale, sweating profusely, and his eyes closed.

Looking at his wound, it wasn't large, but the surrounding area was already bluish-purple and slightly swollen.

While examining the wound, Feng Qingqing asked the people around her some questions.

I learned that it was a type of snake called the Blue Blood Snake, which is not common in the area.

Upon inquiry, it was learned that the patient had symptoms of dizziness, nausea, general weakness, and even slight numbness in breathing. Immediate action was needed, otherwise it would be too late to get the patient to the commune hospital.

After confirming the diagnosis, Feng Qingqing immediately opened the medicine box, about to take out some medicine, when Old Tao, who had been watching her every move, grabbed her arm, staring intently at her with a questioning gaze:

"You'd better be careful about what's wrong with my old man. Do you even know how to tell?"

Already anxious, Feng Qingqing was further displeased by the family's repeated interruptions and said impatiently:

"This snake's venom is quite potent. If we don't treat it promptly and get it to the hospital soon, are you going to keep me here wasting time?"

Upon hearing this, Old Tao's body went limp and she almost collapsed to the ground, but a kind person nearby pulled her up.

She thought it was just a snake bite and nothing serious, but after hearing Feng Qingqing's explanation, she finally became afraid. Moreover, judging from Feng Qingqing's actions and attitude, she didn't seem to be faking it, so she tremblingly said:

“Feng Zhiqing, no, Dr. Feng, you, you have to hurry up and see us. I won’t say anything, I’ll shut up.”

After saying that, he sat down on the straw next to her without saying a word, but kept his eyes fixed on Feng Qingqing's every move without blinking, his eyes tense and afraid.

Feng Qingqing ignored her and took out a small bunch of dried Panax notoginseng from the bottom of the medicine box. She looked at Tao Dazhuang's son, Tao Jiaping, who was standing beside her, with a calm expression and a steady voice:

"Come here, crush this Panax notoginseng and rub it on the wound. I'll go and gather some medicine. I'll be back soon. Don't take your father to the commune hospital before I get back, or it will be too late."

Without waiting for Tao Jiaping to speak, he flew off towards the hillside.

The Panax notoginseng she just took out was picked by Dr. Wang on the mountain. It had already been processed and dried, but because it was dried, its medicinal effect was not as great as that of freshly picked Panax notoginseng. Given Tao Dazhuang's current condition, fresh Panax notoginseng was necessary to fully exert its medicinal effect in order to temporarily and effectively suppress the toxicity.
