Chapter 380 Snake Venom
This was the first time he had heard that mushrooms could be exchanged for chicks, but he was absolutely certain that he had heard correctly, that Ma Caifeng had indeed said so. Thinking of Ma Caifeng's fierce and unruly appearance, Fusu couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
"Okay, let's go together, big brother. Look, ugly mushrooms like this are not poisonous. The more beautiful ones are, the more poisonous they are." La Mei said seriously as he bent down, picked up an unprepossessing mushroom from the grass, and showed it to Fusu.
Fusu hurried over and carefully observed the mushroom in Lamei's hand, and responded, "Oh, thank you, Lamei. If I hadn't met you, I would have made a mistake because of ignorance." His face was full of gratitude, and there was a bit more admiration in his eyes when he looked at Lamei.
I didn't expect that this little person knew so much. This little girl looks only about seven or eight years old. I am seven years older than her, but she knows more than me.
"Do you think this is the mushroom?" Fusu held a mushroom carefully and looked at Winter Plum with anticipation, with a hint of uncertainty in his eyes.
"Yes, that's right! Big brother is so smart, he learns it right away." La Mei clapped her hands and said happily, with a sincere smile on her face.
"Really?" Fusu looked at the pink little meatball in front of him with surprise, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
She was the first person besides her mother to say that she was smart. In a palace filled with power struggles and deceptions, no one had ever given her such pure praise and affirmation.
"Yeah, big brother is not only smart but also hardworking." Lamei nodded vigorously, her eyes sparkling, and she said seriously, "Mom said that hard work can make you rich. As long as people are diligent and willing to work hard, their lives will always get better and better."
Fusu felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation when he was with this delicate little girl. In the past, he always lived in the palace's intrigues and schemes.
At this moment, beside the wintersweet, he seemed to be in a quiet, peaceful and simple world.
In front of her, he didn't need to pretend, didn't need to consider those complicated power struggles. He just needed to be himself, without caring about other people's views and evaluations. This feeling made him extremely comfortable and at ease.
With the help of wintersweet, the basket was soon filled with mushrooms. At this time, the sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves on them, casting mottled shadows.
"Big brother, look at that flower, it's so beautiful!" Wintersweet excitedly pointed at a flower not far away and shouted, her voice as clear as an oriole.
Fusu looked in the direction of Wintersweet's finger and saw the camellia flowers blooming in the grass, so gorgeous that they looked like clouds in the sky.
A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he walked over quickly and said, "Little sister, you will look very beautiful with this flower."
Just as Fusu stretched out his hand to touch the flower, a snake suddenly appeared from nowhere, spitting out black tongues and biting him with lightning speed. The snake's body shone with an eerie light in the sunlight, which made people shudder.
"Ah!" A terrified scream broke the tranquility of the forest. Fusu fell down instantly, and the snake that caused the trouble seemed to know that it had caused a big disaster. It had already escaped and disappeared without a trace.
Lamei was frightened by this sudden change and ran over desperately, "Big brother, big brother, are you okay?" She cried with a trembling voice.
Fusu's face was as pale as paper, with beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down his forehead, but he still used up his last bit of strength and weakly put the camellia in his hand on the wintersweet's head. He forced a smile at the corner of his mouth and said, "Little sister, this is for you." After that, his eyes slowly closed and he fainted completely.
Lamei was extremely anxious. With trembling hands, she tore open Fusu's trouser leg, revealing the shocking scar from the snake bite. The skin around the scar was a strange blue-black color, with a faint hint of dark purple, which made people shudder.
"It's poisonous! The poison must be expelled immediately!" La Mei's voice became sharp due to nervousness, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
Without any hesitation, she quickly took off the hairpin from her head, gritted her teeth, and carefully scratched the deep teeth marks with the sharp end of the hairpin.
Then she took a deep breath, put her lips on the wound without hesitation, and used force to help Su suck out the poison.
Every time she took a sip, she quickly spat out the poisonous blood in her mouth, repeating this until the blood she sucked out gradually turned bright red.
Next, Lamei didn't bother to wipe the sweat from her forehead and ran down the mountain with all her might.
As she ran, she shouted at the people working in the fields at the top of her lungs, "Come and save them! Come and save them!" Her crying voice echoed in the empty fields, filled with anxiety and fear.
When the villagers heard Lamei's cry, they stopped working with hoes in their hands and looked surprised.
"What's going on?"
They hurriedly put down the farm tools in their hands and ran up the mountain in a hurry.
"Lamei, what's wrong?" an elderly villager asked breathlessly.
"Someone was bitten by a snake!" La Mei gasped heavily and pointed in the direction of the mountain, tears welling up in her eyes.
The villagers gathered around, looking at the boy lying on the ground, at a loss for what to do. They looked at each other, their faces filled with anxiety and confusion.
"Where should we send this?" A young villager scratched his head, his face full of confusion.
"This is the new farmhand hired by Ma Ergun's family." someone said.
At this time, Lamei squeezed out from the crowd. She frowned, her eyes firm, and said decisively: "Send it to the witch doctor Aunt Wu's house!"
She knew clearly that Ma Ergun would not save Asu. If she sent him there, she would just wait for death. But if she sent him to Aunt Wu's house, there would be a glimmer of hope.
After hearing this, the others had some doubts in their hearts, but at this critical moment, they could not think of a better idea.
Just as everyone was busy lifting Fusu, La Mei's steps became unsteady and she felt her vision was getting dark. Suddenly, her eyes went dark, her body went limp, and she fainted without any warning.
This frightened everyone. The already chaotic scene became even more chaotic, with people shouting in panic.
"Lamei! Lamei! What's wrong with this girl?" someone asked loudly in panic, his voice full of worry.
"I think we should send it to Xiuying quickly!" suggested a villager who was a little calmer.
"Yes, yes, yes. Lamei is Xiuying's daughter. If something happens to her, she should be sent there. Besides, Xiuying is smart and might know how to deal with it." The others agreed, and then a group of people quickly sent some people to lift Lamei and hurried towards Xiuying's house.
