In the afternoon, Ye Mo made a house call. Before he left, he repeatedly reminded Suqi and Suyao not to go out, but how could the gears of fate stop because of a single instruction?
"Doctor Ye, Doctor Ye! Save…save my son, he's dying, Doctor Ye!”Aunt Wu carried her five-year-old son, Wu Yin, and rushed in.
Su Qi immediately went up to him." Quick, lie down in the room and let me take a look."”
Su Yao immediately followed.
"What happened?"
"He, he ran into Shennongjia. When Old Xu saw him, he, he was already unconscious on the ground.”Aunt Wu explained the situation in a simple manner while crying.
Ye Suqi looked at his eyes and mouth. She pulled up his pants and found that he had been bitten by a snake. "I was indeed bitten by a snake. Her cheeks were red, her lips were bright red, and her nails were red. Damn it, her body was slowly turning red. Xiao Yao, go and get someone to bring Grandpa back.”
"I've already gone. Here you go." Su Yao walked to the bed and handed over a set of silver needles, as well as a medicinal powder made of 30 grams of each herb, which was made from red, oldenlandia, seven leaves of a flower, groundsel grass, centipede, thistle, octagonal lotus, and three-leaf stinging grass.
"I'm afraid this ordinary medicine won't be able to save Xiao Yin.”
"You can't let your blood flow. The poison will invade your five internal organs soon.”Su Qi sprinkled a portion of the medicinal powder on Wu Yin's wounds and took the rest of it internally. She then quickly applied acupuncture on Wu Yin's acupuncture points. After about five minutes, she finally retracted her hand, her head covered in sweat.
"I've already slowed down his blood flow. Xiao Yao, pay attention to his condition. Remember, don't touch the silver needles on his body.”Su Qi said as she walked out and picked up the basket in the backyard.
"Sis, w-what are you doing? Are you going alone?”Su Yao stood in front of Su Qi, her voice trembling.
Su Qi looked at her younger sister who she grew up with and said helplessly,""Xiao Yao, you should know that ordinary herbs are useless when bitten by a blood snake. Unless you can get the blood serum of the blood snake, even if grandfather comes back, it will be useless.”
"But, you can't go out today. Grandpa told you repeatedly before he left. Besides, is it that easy to find a blood snake? Even if they found it, could they catch it? It's very fast, you can't catch up…Sis, don't go.”Su Yao pulled Su Qi and cried. She held her sister tightly and refused to let go. She was afraid that if she let go, her sister would disappear.
"Xiao Yao, sometimes fate is fate. Do you want me to watch Xiao Yin die? Or do you want Grandpa to look for him personally after he comes back?”
Suyao looked at Suqi and saw the determination in her eyes. Suyao held Ye Suqi's hand tightly and said firmly,""Alright, I'll go with you. Since it's destined, we'll face it together. The two of us are better than you alone.”
"Xiao Yao?" Su Qi looked at the face that was extremely similar to hers and smiled helplessly. "Alright, let's go together."
The weather was exceptionally clear that day, and the breeze carried a hint of warmth. There were many tourists on the outer edge of Shennongjia, taking photos and having fun. Ye Suqi and Ye Suyao walked into Shennongjia with ease and familiarity. To them, everything outside was no longer attractive. Yes, they had lived here for 18 years. They had started picking herbs on the mountain when they were seven years old. 11 years was enough for them to be familiar with each other, but they had never felt as heavy as this time.
Not long after, they arrived at the place Aunt Wu had described.
This place was close to the cliff, and there were scattered flowers all around, attracting many butterflies to dance around the flowers. Such a beautiful scene was too beautiful to be seen. No wonder Wu Yin was attracted here.
"Sister, why is the blood snake here? Doesn't it like yin? The sun was shining brightly here. It really didn't seem like a place it would come to.”Su Yao looked around and asked in confusion.
"I was also wondering, but it's impossible for a blood snake to move on its own.”
The two of them searched the surroundings but still could not find any trace of the blood snake. At this moment, the sun was slowly setting, and the sky was slowly turning dark. Su Qi could not help but become anxious. If she could not find the blood snake soon, it would be too late.
"Sister, the cliff." Su Yao walked to the edge of the cliff and her eyes suddenly lit up.
Su Qi's mind immediately went into a trance. She ran to the edge of the cliff and looked around as if she was looking for something. Finally, she saw a small tree in the crevice. The small tree was surrounded by withered grass, forming a vacuum. On the tree, there were a few small fiery red fruits, which were especially tempting.
"Sister, look, there really is a Blood Snake Fruit. That blood snake must be down there.”Su Yao was extremely excited. They had finally found the antidote to cure Wu Yin.
"Xiao Yao, I'll go down to catch the snake. If you can, I'll also pick the Blood Snake Fruit. After I've taken the blood of the blood snake, I can raise it.”Su Qi took out a rope and tied it to a big tree at the edge of the cliff. She then lowered the rope down the cliff.
"Sis, be careful."
Su Qi slowly climbed down the rope. She used a tree branch to cut the grass around her and paid attention to the blood snake. Finally, she arrived at the Blood Snake Fruit Tree, but there was still no trace of the blood snake. Su Qi thought that it was not a good idea to search like this. Suddenly, a bold idea popped up in her mind. She could only give it a try. Hence, Su Qi slowly approached the Blood Snake Fruit. Just as she was about to pluck one, Su Yao's voice suddenly came from above.
"Sister, Blood Snake."
Su Qi immediately withdrew her hand. At this moment, a red shadow flashed past and landed on the Blood Snake Fruit Tree. She focused her eyes and saw the blood snake sticking out its tongue and looking at her coldly, as if it was protecting what it had.
Looking at the red blood snake, Su Qi bit her lips lightly. She pulled the rope with one hand and took out the silver needles she carried with her other hand. She knew that she only had one chance. With the blood snake's speed, she would not be able to catch up. She might even be bitten by it.
Su Yao watched nervously from the cliff. Even her breathing became lighter, not daring to disturb him.
Suddenly, the blood snake pounced towards Su Qi. However, the moment the blood snake jumped up, Su Qi also shot out a silver needle. Fortunately, God was still on her side. The blood snake was hit by the silver needle and fell to the ground. It wriggled for a moment before it stopped moving. Su Qi felt a chill on her back and let out a long breath. Su Yao was so scared that her face turned pale and she sat on the ground weakly.
Su Qi slowly moved over, but she could only grab the blood snake's tail. She thought that the blood snake was already dead, but who knew that it was not completely dead. Just as Su Qi held its tail, the blood snake raised its head and a wave of pain came from the back of its hand. After a while, Su Qi felt her entire body go numb.
She bit her lips tightly, and red blood flowed down from her lips. She endured the pain and quickly put the snake into the bag, hugging it tightly in front of her chest.
Su Yao's desperate cry came from the top of the cliff. Su Qi raised her head and looked at her sister. The most beautiful smile of her life bloomed on her face. Then, she used the last bit of strength in her body to throw the bag up the cliff. After seeing Su Yao catch it, she no longer had the strength to hold on to the rope. She could only fall down the cliff vertically with the gravity, like a bird with broken wings.
In the end, the boundless darkness attacked her.
