Chapter 853: Chapter 853 Bamboo Leaf Green Snake Makes a Move (2)

Shen Ji suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashing with a glimmer of hope, "Will this water be of use to Miss Liu? Use it on Miss Liu first!"

Having said that, he quickly retreated to one side, fearing that the poison would spread rapidly; his hands still pressed tightly against the spot three inches above Liu Tinglan’s wound.

"You hurry and rinse your mouth in case you accidentally swallowed some poison. Do you want to live with Sister Lan’s guilt for the rest of your life?" Mo Yan shoved the water sack into Shen Ji’s arms and pressed on a point above Liu Tinglan’s arm, speaking gravely.

Upon hearing this, Shen Ji unconsciously glanced at Liu Tinglan. When his gaze met Liu Tinglan’s anxious and guilty water-like eyes, his expression changed, and he finally reached out to take the water sack.

Mo Yan tied the compressing point tightly with a strip of cloth and after taking Liu Tinglan’s pulse carefully, she checked the wound and found the situation to be a bit better than she had anticipated. As she washed the wound with Spirit Spring Water, she asked, "Did you get a clear look at the snake that bit you?"

Liu Tinglan was about to shake her head when Shen Ji hastily interjected, "The snake was entirely emerald green, it should be a Bamboo Leaf Green Snake."

Everyone’s faces changed at that revelation; a Bamboo Leaf Green Snake, it was actually a Bamboo Leaf Green Snake!

Snakes can be venomous or non-venomous; a bite from a non-venomous snake results in nothing more than two punctures and maybe some bleeding, while a venomous snake bite, like Liu Tinglan’s, leads to a swollen wound oozing tainted blood.

In this era, there is no antivenom, and methods to treat snake venom are scarce. Furthermore, due to limited communication, these methods have become distorted in transmission, eventually leading to beliefs like alcohol can cure snake poison.

As a result, some individuals bitten by venomous snakes, which wouldn’t necessarily be fatal, would lose their lives due to delayed treatment or improper handling. Even if some with robust constitutions survived, they suffered greatly. Very few could truly endure.

Therefore, it caused great alarm when they learned it was the highly venomous Bamboo Leaf Green Snake, taking into account Shen Ji’s perilous act of sucking out the poison from Liu Tinglan without regard for his own life.

Some knew that promptly sucking out the poisoned blood from a snake bite could prevent serious harm, but there had been incidents where both the bitten person and the one sucking the venom perished together. Consequently, apart from very close family members, who would risk their life to suck out venom for someone else? The adults began to guess the reason behind Shen Ji’s actions.

Upon hearing this, Mo Yan actually breathed a sigh of relief and softly comforted a trembling Liu Tinglan, "Sister Lan, don’t worry. Although the Bamboo Leaf Green Snake is venomous, as long as we treat it in time, it will be okay! I have a method to detoxify, but you will have to endure some discomfort. Just bear with it later."

The Bamboo Leaf Green Snake was indeed very poisonous, but in her previous life, she had hardly heard of anyone dying from its bite. However, without timely treatment, it truly could be life-threatening, and this also depended on the individual’s constitution.

Seeing the composed Mo Yan, Liu Tinglan suddenly felt less afraid and nodded emphatically, "Yanyan, do whatever you need to save me. Compared to my life, what’s a little suffering? Don’t worry, I can withstand it."

Hearing this, the other people’s high-strung nerves gradually calmed down. They knew Mo Yan was not one to make false claims; if she said there was a way, then she must be confident of curing the condition.

"Yan, Yan girl..." Mrs. Liu grabbed Mo Yan’s arm, too emotional to articulate a complete sentence.

Understanding Mrs. Liu’s urgent feelings, Mo Yan patiently comforted her, "Lady, Sister Lan will be alright. Please be at ease!"

Mrs. Liu’s eyes brimmed with tears as she nodded fervently, and quickly let go, afraid that she might delay Mo Yan from administering the antidote to her daughter.

Mo Yan dared not be careless and had Lixiu unfasten her pouch from her waist, pulling off the strings attached to it. She took the strings, tied them to the acupoint Liu Tinglan’s arm that she had pressed on, and secretly took out a sharp dagger from Space while hiding it under the sleeves of her clothes. She then made a cross-cut at Liu Tinglan’s wound, creating an "X" shape.
