Chapter 854 Bamboo Leaf Green Snake Makes a Move (3)
Mo Yan took the water sack and handed it to Liu Tinglan, reminding her, "Sister Lan, I’ll start drawing the poison out now. The process will hurt a bit, so bear with me. Coordinate with my movements and drink as much water as you can."
Liu Tinglan took the water sack and obediently said, "Yanyan, go ahead. I can withstand it!"
Mo Yan nodded and, without further ado, placed her hands around the cross-shaped wound and pressed gently but firmly. The poison-tinged blood that Shen Ji had not fully sucked out began to flow out again, even blacker than before.
After pressing like this for a short while, until no more tainted blood flowed out, Mo Yan untied the string around the acupoints. Using the pressure in the blood vessels, she successfully flushed out the remaining tainted blood from the forearm.
This process alone was not enough to completely eliminate the toxins. Mo Yan tied the string again and continued the same pressing technique. When the blood stopped flowing, she untied the string, tied it again, and then untied it...
After repeating this process three times and the blood that flowed out finally turned a normal shade of red, Mo Yan checked Liu Tinglan’s pulse again. Confirming that most of the poison had been expelled and that the remaining toxins would not harm her body, she completely removed the string and carefully cleaned the blood-stained wound with Spirit Spring Water.
The Spirit Spring Water had detoxifying properties. With Liu Tinglan both drinking and washing with it, the remaining toxins could be completely expelled. But to ease Mr. and Mrs. Liu’s minds, Mo Yan took out a pill that nourished qi and replenished blood, pretending it was an antidote and had Liu Tinglan swallow it. She also applied a layer of Sanqi Powder to the wound.
The onlookers, who found the detoxification method novel yet reasonable, saw that Liu Tinglan’s complexion had improved significantly and that the blackness around the wound had faded. They were convinced that this was something Doctor Du had taught her.
In that moment, everyone’s hearts were filled with gratitude towards Doctor Du, and they were also relieved that Mo Yan had learned medical skills. Otherwise, who knew if today would have brought the tragic scene of a white-haired person sending off someone with black hair?
Mrs. Liu tightly grasped Mo Yan’s hand, overwhelmed with joy and tears, "Yan girl, thank you, thank you for saving Lan’er..."
"Auntie, Sister Lan is my best friend. I’m also relieved that I could save her. If you really want to thank someone, thank Mr. Shen. If he hadn’t reacted so quickly and risked his life to suck out most of the poison from Sister Lan, delaying the spread of the toxins, I wouldn’t have been able to smoothly cure her," Mo Yan said without taking personal credit, and she immediately credited Shen Ji for his actions in front of Mr. and Mrs. Liu.
