Princess Yongmu did not return to the Li Family Zhuangzi today. She stayed in her own Zhuangzi. The children continued to stay in the Li Family Zhuangzi.
They had agreed to stay for half a month. If the roads and houses could not be finished in half a month, they could stay for a few more days. It was not like they were short of food.
Princess Yongmu had a flashlight so that she could see the insects at night.
In the past, she had nothing to do and only studied in the palace. She did not learn needlework or cooking.
Now, she learned everything. The noble ladies talked about making clothes for their men so that they could compete for favor.
Some also said that even if the man found a concubine, he would still think about making delicious food.
Princess Yongmu did not want to compete with anyone. She simply felt that she should know what others knew, even if Li Lang knew how to make clothes and cook.
The bean worms were gradually growing. Princess Yongmu wanted to see if there was any need to adjust.
She asked Li Yi for 30 kerosene lamps and took a flashlight herself.
After dinner, the neighbors carried kerosene lamps and went with Princess Yongmu to check the situation of the insects in her 20 mu bean field.
There were more than 70 neighbors in total, more than 400 people in total. There were also hundreds of people watching outside.
Princess Yongmu used a lot of manpower to check the insects. Someone walked in front and looked around to see if the ground was loose. What if someone was hiding in the ground?
When Princess Yongmu arrived, everything was taken care of.
"Everyone, look, the bean worms are starting to molt again. After molting, their appetite will increase greatly. You must arrange a place in advance. Don't eat all the beans."
Princess Yongmu told the neighbors what she had learned from Li Yi. Even if it was in the newspaper, the neighbors were still willing to listen to her.
The newspaper was full of words, and the pictures were not as clear as the real thing.
The neighbors always believed that the best things were passed down to Li Dongzhu's woman.
The neighbors found that this Li family's woman was not the type to show herself in public. She was purely playing.
There were layers of guards and maids with knives.
Which woman would show her face in public like this? How much extra food did the bodyguards eat this time when they came out at night?
"These are spiders. They eat bean worms. We have to get rid of them. Give me a pair of tweezers." Princess Yongmu discovered a large spider.
"I'll do it." Xiao Lan came over with a pair of tweezers and clamped down on the big spider. She shook the bamboo tube in her hand.
The maid beside her helped to pull out the stopper of the bamboo tube. Xiao Lan picked up the spider and threw it in.
When it was almost filled, the bamboo tube would be thrown into the dung pile, and the spiders inside would kill each other.
"This is a praying mantis. Now that the light has stopped it from moving, it would go and catch insects to eat." Princess Yongmu found another thing.
Praying mantises had the same color as leaves. If one didn't look carefully, they wouldn't be able to see them at all.
"I'll do it." Xiao Lan shook the bamboo tube again. This time, the maid directly opened the cover of the bamboo tube.
Before the spiders crawled out, the mantises were thrown in. You guys can kill them yourselves and see who is stronger.
"There's a snake here. Miss Li, quickly hide. Ah, there's no need. Good skills!"
A neighbor found a snake. It was slithering in the direction of Princess Yongmu. Just looking at it made people feel numb all over.
Then, six throwing knives fell down. Two accurately hit the snake, and the other four were on the side.
One person threw three throwing knives at the same time. No matter how the snake moved, it would be pierced.
The person who threw the knives was Guo Ziyi. The moment the knives were thrown, two pistols appeared in his hands.
"Bring it back. When I go home tomorrow, I'll give it to Li Lang and ask him to braise it for me. The snake is not small."
Princess Yongmu glanced at the snake that was not dead yet. She remembered the braised snake she ate last time and craved it again.
She was not worried about her own safety. Guo Ziyi was here. Even if Guo Ziyi failed, the snake might not necessarily want her. Was the snake poisonous?
She was not afraid of being poisonous. If she sent herself to Li Lang with her last breath, Li Lang would save her.
"It's a pit viper. If you're bitten, you won't survive." A neighbor came forward to take a look and said what kind of snake it was.
Another guard came over and pinched the snake's head with his hand. He pulled out a knife and quickly left with the snake.
In just a quarter of an hour, the snake that was still alive was sent to Li Yi.
Li Yi looked at it: "Short-tailed viper, neurotoxin. It's okay. There's serum. I used horses to make a lot of serums for poisonous snakes. I've checked them all. There's no poison in the horse. I can't kill it either.
It's attenuated. "Li Yi was not worried. He collected a lot of poisonous snakes and raised them. He took snake venom and injected it into the horse.
If the horse carried other viruses, the snake venom would be detoxified, but the horse's venom would still be in the horse's body.
Inactivation meant to eliminate all the other viruses. Attenuation meant to reduce the survival of the other viruses.
In theory, both humans and animals carried poison. If the virus did not exist or was found in trace amounts, it was attenuated.
It was not easy for Li Yi to kill it, but attenuate it was relatively easy.
He put it in a small glass bottle and sealed it with gum.
The current Short-tailed viper venom was powerful, but he had antivenom made from the venom of the Short-tailed viper.
Other poisonous snakes had to be made separately. There was no universal detoxification at all.
How could the bloodstream and neurotoxin be omnipotent?
The antivenom made from the cobra's venom could barely deal with these two types.
But there were also cellular types. There were basically cobras or king cobras on land, which could make a basic universal serum.
But Li Yi didn't have any cobras now. He couldn't find any in the tropics or subtropics.
He was working hard to find them. If he could find more, he could raise them.
Then he would make the universal antivenom. It was just a temporary solution. If it could withstand it, he wouldn't care. If it couldn't withstand it, at least there would be time to inject a special antivenom.
As for the virus in the horse, after the injection, the snake venom would be detoxified first. The virus in the horse would be dealt with later.
Medical first aid had always been about saving lives first and treating injuries later.
"Taohong and Qing Song, go and bring 16 kinds of common snake antivenom here and a cold box." Li Yi ordered.
Taohong and Qing Song got up and went to find things. They both knew how to inject needles and draw blood.
Not all Taohong and Qing Song were powerful. Everyone was studying hard. It was just that this group of Taohong and Qing Song were a little stronger than others.
"Li niang said she wants to eat. Braise." The person who delivered the snake emphasized.
"Okay!" Li Yi opened the box and put on gloves. He grabbed the snake that was not dead and left. He wanted to take out the poison before the snake died.
Antivenom was expensive. It was indeed expensive. It was a life-saving thing.
It was cheap. As long as there was a little bit of poison, he could make a bunch of antivenom.
The problem was that the antivenom had a shelf life. If no one bought it after the shelf life, the antivenom would be wasted.
Li Yi didn't care about money. He wanted to make more. This was the Tang dynasty. There were many snakes. There would always be people bitten by snakes.
Just like the snake catcher written by Liu Zongyuan, catching five-step snakes was used to cure diseases.
He meant harsh government. Li Yi wanted to equip snake catchers with antivenom.
There was no conflict between the two, right?
Now there was no harsh government. Let's go catch the five-step snakes. We will give you the antivenom. If you are bitten, quickly save yourself.
Then some of it will be shot back to continue making antivenom, and some of it will be used as other medicines.
Shouldn't the problem of money be counted as the financial subsidies of the Tang dynasty? The lives of the people of the Tang dynasty couldn't be measured by money.
Even if they subsidized 100,000 yuan a year to save 10,000 people who were bitten by snakes, they would not only save lives but also people's hearts.
