Chapter 123: Poisoning

  Du Ming heard Zhao Yu'e's voice was very anxious, not like she was joking with him. He paused for a moment and asked strangely, "What? What's wrong with you? What happened?"

  Zhao Yu'e said urgently, "Don't ask for now, hurry up and come to Bai Mei's house, I have an urgent matter! A life-and-death matter! Hurry up!"

  After finishing speaking, Zhao Yu'e hung up the phone. Du Ming held his mobile phone for a long time and could only helplessly put it back in his pocket. He turned the car around and stepped on the accelerator, rushing out quickly, heading straight to Bai Mei's home.

  Du Ming soon arrived at the apartment building of Bai Mei Gui, opened the car door and got out, took a few strides to get upstairs, reached the door of Bai Mei Gui's apartment and knocked on it.

  The door opened quickly, and Zhao Yuexin was standing pale-faced inside the door, not seeing Bai Meigui, possibly because she had gone to work and wasn't at home.

  Zhao Yu'e saw Du Ming as if she had seen a lifesaver and immediately pulled him into the house, "You've finally come, quickly help me!"

  Du Ming furrowed his brow and followed Zhao Yuexin into the house, suddenly grabbing her arm, grasping her wrist, and taking her pulse. He asked in puzzlement, "Have you been poisoned?"

  Zhao Yu'e nodded, "Yes! Otherwise, do you think I would have called you over in such a hurry? This poison will take effect within twelve hours, and I don't have much time left!"

  Du Ming asked in confusion, "Who poisoned you? How did you know it would take effect at the twelfth hour?"

  Zhao Yu'e waved her hand excitedly, "Don't worry about whether it's going to work or not for now? I'm almost dying and you're still busy asking these questions! First help me detoxify the poison!"

  Du Ming smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've already taken your pulse and figured out what kind of poison it is. I'm 100% sure I can cure you, and since the poisoning happened within four hours, there's still plenty of time. First, tell me what happened, and then I'll treat you."

  "What's wrong with you!" Zhao Yuexin panted and punched Du Ming once, then sat down on the sofa.

  Du Ming sat down beside Zhao Yu'e, "Come on, what's the matter? Hurry up and tell me, after you're done, I'll help you detoxify."

  Zhao Yuexin said with a worried expression, "I just went out for a stroll today and suddenly met a man. He asked me if I was the little medical fairy Zhao Yuexin, and when I said yes, he said he wanted to challenge me. I didn't want to bother with him, but he grabbed my arm, you know I've also received combat training, so I directly knocked him down. As a result, he said he had already poisoned me, and only then did I notice that he was holding a silver needle in his hand, and there was a puncture wound on my arm where he had pricked me, with black blood flowing out."

  As she spoke, Zhao Yu'e rolled up her sleeves and exposed her left arm for Du Ming to see.

  Zhao Yuexin's arm skin was very white, with a small black hole on her forearm that had stopped bleeding. However, the area around the hole was a large, circular patch of dark purple, and this range was slowly but visibly expanding on Zhao Yuexin's snow-white arm, making it particularly striking.

  Zhao Yu'e put down her arm and continued, "At that time, the surrounding area wasn't as big as it is now. I only saw the needle hole and was very angry. I ordered him to detoxify me immediately. He said he was the number one poison expert in the world and wanted to challenge us medical professionals. The poison would take effect in twelve hours, and after it took effect, I would definitely die within a minute. However, this poison can be solved. If I can solve the poison before it takes effect, not only can I save myself, but he will also admit defeat."

  Du Ming raised an eyebrow, "The world's number one poison expert? Heh heh, who gave him the courage to think so of himself, I'm afraid he hasn't seen a real expert yet."

  "Never mind that for now!" Zhao Yuexin said discontentedly. "My arm is like this, can't you think of a solution quickly?!"

  Du Ming sneered, "Hey, you're the renowned Little Medical Immortal, and yet a so-called poison expert has reduced you to this state. The name 'Medical Immortal' is really not justified, huh?"

  Zhao Yuexin said irritably, "I'm a doctor who saves people, not someone who uses poison. What do you know about these things? Stop wasting words, are you going to help or not?"

  Du Ming smiled and said, "This is no big deal, just a small matter. Follow me, I'll take you to my place, I have some herbal medicine there that can help detoxify you."

  Zhao Yu'e nodded and immediately stood up, pulling Du Ming, "Alright, let's go now. What are you dawdling for? Hurry up!"

  Du Ming was almost dragged onto the car by Zhao Yuexin, and then she repeatedly urged him to drive back to the Yun's house.

  Du Ming got out of the car and took Zhao Yuexin into the house, to his own room, where he pulled out a wooden box from under the bed.

  Zhao Yuxuan curiously sized up the box, Du Ming blew off the floating dust on the lid and opened it, revealing a delicate division of many small grids inside, each grid containing different medicinal materials.

  Du Ming said, "These are all rare and precious medicinal materials. My master spent half his life collecting them. You're lucky to have met me, otherwise even if you knew how to detoxify, it would be hard for you to find the original materials."

  Du Ming put the medicine box on the bed, pulled out a piece of paper from one side of the table, and carefully pinched a small amount of medicine into several different grid cells on the paper.

  Zhao Yuxuan was also studying medicine and knew that this small amount of medicinal material looked insignificant but was actually worth a fortune.

  Du Ming finished taking the medicine, closed the medicine box and put it back under the bed, then turned around to look at Zhao Yuexin.

  Zhao Yuexin was staring blankly at the place where Du Ming put the box, with envy in her eyes. All medical students know how hard it is to get rare medicinal materials, and this one box might be a treasure that has been accumulated by several generations of a Chinese medicine family!

  Du Ming cleared his throat, "Cough cough, Zhao Yu'e, pay attention, I'm trusting you by letting you see my box. If you're going to have that expression, I'd worry that you'll steal my medicinal herbs in the future. Let's not treat your illness this time."

  Du Ming said that Zhao Yu'e finally came back to her senses, and hurriedly said, "I just wanted to see what's going on! As medical students, can't we be envious of treasures?"

  Du Ming smiled, folded the paper with medicinal materials on it, packed up the medicine and handed it to Zhao Yuexin. "There is a small ceramic pot in the kitchen, go fill it with one-third of water, and decoct these medicines into a medicinal soup. Do you need me to teach you how to decoct the medicine?"

  Zhao Yu'e was about to get angry, she was a renowned medical fairy outside, and anyone in the medical field would admire her skills. But here at Du Ming's place, she had become a rookie who didn't even know how to decoct medicine. She grabbed the paper package containing the medicinal herbs, "I got it! No need for you, Doctor Du, to teach me!"
