Chapter 854: 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.

Not everyone has the courage to step forward at a critical moment and save someone utterly unrelated. Whether Shen Ji’s selfless rescue was motivated by righteousness or his feelings for Sister Lan, it proved he was a reliable person, and she was more than willing to help him leave a good impression with the Liu family.

As for that scum surnamed Du... she would make him pay for his indecisiveness sooner or later!

Indeed, despite Mrs. Liu’s suspicions about Shen Ji’s different kind of feelings for her daughter, Mrs. Liu still tearfully thanked him profusely and warmly invited him to visit their home, hoping to properly express their gratitude.

Shen Ji humbly declined but could not withstand the persistent requests from Mr. and Mrs. Liu and ultimately agreed to visit another day. When he would go was up to him.

After such an event, the children were also frightened, and no one felt like continuing to play. They packed up their things and descended from the mountain.

Before nightfall, the Han Family took the fresh bamboo shoots given by the Mo Family back to the city in their horse-drawn carriage. Father Liu and Mother Liu originally planned to take Liu Tinglan back with them, but hiding her secret turmoil and claiming that it would be more convenient to recuperate at the Mo Family’s home, she insisted on staying.

Father Liu and Mother Liu did not agree, feeling it would trouble the Mo Family too much, but they could not withstand Liu Tinglan’s persistent pleading and the entreaties of the father and daughter of the Mo Family, and they relented with apologies, thanking Mo Yan profusely.

Shen Ji left with the Liu Family’s carriage. Before leaving, he seemed to have something to say to Liu Tinglan but ultimately held back. With Liu Tinglan also holding back her words, he closed the carriage door, cutting off their lingering gazes.

After the three left, Liu Tinglan was not in high spirits and, feeling the residual toxins in her body, she fell into a deep sleep without even eating dinner.

In such situations, it’s often the body’s immune system fighting the "invasion" of snake venom—a normal response. Worried that Liu Tinglan might develop a fever at night, Mo Yan prepared two sets of cooling and detoxifying herbal remedies based on what she had learned before, just in case.

To make it easier to care for her, Liu Tinglan was arranged to sleep in Mo Yan’s room. At night, once Mo Yan confirmed that Liu Tinglan did not have a fever, she breathed a sigh of relief and quietly went to where the Six Beasts slept.

Poking the Red Python’s head, she grit her teeth and said, "All I asked you to do was to find a harmless little snake to scare them, to see if Brother Shen is truly worthy of trust. But you brought a Bamboo Leaf Green Snake instead and actually got Sister Lan bitten. If it weren’t for the Spirit Spring Water and my knowledge of detoxifying, wouldn’t my overconfidence have killed her?"

"Yanyan, no, Little Red didn’t summon the Bamboo Leaf Green Snake. It came out on its own!"

The Red Python felt incredibly wronged as it flicked its tongue in defense; unfortunately, its language could only be "translated" for Mo Yan by Xuetuan. Mo Yan couldn’t sense its aggrievement, but after hearing Xuetuan’s "translation," she knew she had wronged the Red Python...
