Chapter 8 Gastric Lavage

Soon Chen Xu saw Erxi who was poisoned. The little guy was about nine years old.

Yesterday, it was their group of children who were catching crabs by the river who saw Chen Jiang being bitten by a poisonous snake and fell into the river. Then they shouted for help and attracted Niu Dashi to drag Jiang Chen from the river. Otherwise, Chen Xu had just passed by for a few hours and died, which was destined to be a psychological shadow for the rest of his life.

At this time, Erxi was lying on the ground and twitching, her head was sweating and her hair was soaked, and there were blue-gray foam in her mouth.

"Xiaoxu, look, what's wrong with Erwa?" said the middle-aged man anxiously pointing at the child lying on the ground.

"Let me take a look first!"

Chen Xu squatted down and dipped it in his hand and smelled it. There was a sour and smelly smell. Although he didn't know what he was eating, this situation was undoubtedly food poisoning.

"Come on, bring a chopstick!"

Chen Xu ordered, and a middle-aged woman soon found a chopstick and handed it to him.

"Uncle Ma Er picked up Erxi and didn't move!"

"Okay!" The middle-aged man picked up Erxi and hugged it in his arms.

Chen Xu pinched Erxi's cheek with his hand, pried open his mouth with chopsticks, and stretched it straight into his throat and stirred it a few times.

"Wow~Wow~" Erxi opened her mouth and spit out two large mouthfuls of sour and smelly gray-green liquid, and the room was suddenly filled with a strong sour smell.

But obviously the two mouthfuls were not completely vomited, so Chen Xu had to poke Erxi's throat with chopsticks, but Erxi didn't spit out anything except for a few sluts of dry retching.

"Go and make a big bowl of warm salt water!" Chen Xu saw that the chopsticks were no longer irritating, so he quickly ordered again.

"Okay, come soon!" The woman rushed to another room in a panic, quickly brought a large bowl of water, and then brought a salt jar and said, "Xiao Xu, I don't know how much to put!"

Chen Xu didn't have time to explain, so he directly grabbed two handfuls of salt with his hands and put them into a large bowl. Then he stirred it quickly with chopsticks a few times before pinching Erxi's mouth and pouring it all in one breath.

"Go quickly and get another bowl!"

After throwing the bowl on the table, Chen Xu pried open Erxi's mouth again while giving the order, and reached the depths of his throat with chopsticks and poked it gently a few times.

“Wow~~Wow~~”

Erxi opened her mouth and vomited again. The large amount of salt water that had just been poured was mixed with pieces of green residue and debris and spit out.

This time he vomited for two minutes until he could no longer spit out anything. Chen Xu poured him a large bowl of warm salt water, and then induced him to vomit again. After three consecutive times, seeing that all he vomited was left with clear water and no residue could be seen, Chen Xu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Uncle Ma, put Erxi on the bed first, cover it with a quilt to keep warm. If there is an egg, feed him half a bowl of egg whites. If there is no rice soup!"

"Okay!" The middle-aged man nodded repeatedly and walked into the house with Erxi in his arms.

Chen Xu was also sweating on his forehead, and at the same time he felt a sense of helplessness for no reason.

When it comes to food poisoning, gastric lavage is the fastest treatment and first aid method. The earlier you find it, the more timely it is treated, the weaker the effect of the toxins will be, and the better the treatment effect will be. If it is later, in addition to vomiting, it can also quickly excrete toxins through a large amount of infusion. However, there is no such condition at present. After vomiting, you can only leave your fate.

Just as Chen Xu was busy, several young and old families nearby ran over. Seeing Erxi vomiting and being taken away, they all surrounded him with surprise.

Chen Xu squatted on the ground, picked up a piece of green residue that Erxi spit out with chopsticks, and looked over and over again several times, but he still couldn't recognize what it was.

"Do you know what Erxi ate?" Chen Xu looked up and asked the group of people standing beside him.

"Brother Xiaoxu, I know it is a kind of wild fruit, right at the foot of the mountain!" a child of eight or nine years old shouted immediately.

"Take me to see!" Chen Xu threw the chopsticks on the ground and stood up when he heard this.

So a group of people followed him out, walked around the hut and walked seventy or eighty meters away, and saw a large leaf tree three or four meters high growing in a thorn, with a large number of green fruits the size of ping-pong balls hanging between the branches and leaves.

“Tung tung ~”

Chen Xu recognized the tree at a glance, and then his face changed drastically. He quickly looked around for a few times and found that there were indeed signs of trampling under the tree, and there were many fruits falling from the grass, and several of them were half gnawed and left in it.

Tung tung is an economical oil plant. It is mainly used to pick tung tung seeds for oil extraction. In later generations, it was a vegetable oil with great industrial value. Chen Xu remembered that when he was a child, his grandfather used tung oil to soak fishing nets, which can play an anti-corrosion effect.

However, all tung tung plant are poisonous, especially the fruits and seeds, which are extremely poisonous. If you eat them accidentally, you will have dizziness, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, fever, angina pectoris, paralysis and other poisoning symptoms. If you are not treated in time, the possibility of death is very high.

Chen Xu twitched a few times and picked up the tung tung fruit that had been gnawed a few bites, then picked up a stick and opened the thorns and grass around him to search for it.

"Brother Xiaoxu, what are you looking for?" a child asked.

"A kind of wild grass that blooms purple flowers and bears small green beans, and looks similar to beans. It is called licorice. Have you heard of it?" Chen Xu asked while searching.

"Xiaoxu, we don't know the name you said, but it looks like too many weeds!" said a middle-aged woman in her forties with gray hair.

"Then let's help me find it separately, hurry up, otherwise Erxi may not be able to save it!" Chen Xu ordered a few adults and a group of children to immediately disperse and search.

"Everyone has the sticks, be careful of the poisonous snake!" Chen Xu couldn't help but remind him loudly.

Now is the time when the weather is warm and the poisonous snakes are out of the cave. After a winter of hibernation, it is also the time when the poisonous snakes are most aggressive and are most likely to be infected in such rarely visited mountains and fields.

Chen Xu didn't want anyone who was unsuccessful and lay down a few more.

It’s okay to save me, but if I can’t save myself, I’m a sinner.

Moreover, the pace of production and life that I planned last night would be disrupted.

A group of people waving long and short sticks along the foot of the mountain, searching in all directions. After a while, someone shouted that they had found it. Chen Xu hurried over and took a look. Sure enough, he saw a wild legume plant, but it was not licorice. So he sighed and said it was not like this. Everyone continued to search, so the group of people dispersed again.

Next, someone discovered several plants that looked like wild green beans. Chen Xu had also carefully looked at and even tasted them, but they were not licorice.
