Li Rui was very surprised. When Ling Shuyao was hurt, there was no one else at the scene except for her. Even she didn't know what stung her, but this doctor pointed out the existence of a scorpion. Although it was the same as what he guessed, wasn't it too amazing? After thinking about it, he suddenly understood. There must be too many scorpions in Little Dragon King Village, and this kind of stinging happened often. This doctor was already used to it, so he could immediately think of a scorpion. He asked, "Are there a lot of scorpions in the village?"
The man asked, "Didn't you trample a few on your way here?" Li Rui clicked his tongue and laughed, "Are you exaggerating?"
The man ignored him and said to the woman, "Go, give him a small bottle of scorpion wine." Then he said to him, "Go back and apply it." Li Rui was tongue-tied and said, "You … you don't even go and take a look, and you're so sure that she was stung by a scorpion?" The man said, "It can't be wrong. Other than scorpions, nothing can sting people. Go quickly." After saying that, he started eating again. After eating a mouthful of scrambled eggs, he suddenly looked at him and asked, "You don't look familiar. You're not from our village, right? "
Li Rui said, "Yes, I'm from the city and came to Little Dragon King Village to help the poor." The man said, "Help the poor? The group of city leaders that the county magistrate hosted at the village committee at noon? "Li Rui said modestly," They're not city leaders, just ordinary cadres. " The man looked him up and down and said, "It's good to have a cadre like you. You have the people in your heart, unlike those officials who eat and drink the people's food, but don't see the people as people. When I opened my clinic, I went to the County Health Bureau to get a license. Don't mention how difficult it was. This person gave me cigarettes, that person gave me wine, and I even had to treat people to a meal. I went back and forth many times, begging my grandfather and grandmother to get it done. Alas, just thinking about it makes me angry. "
Li Rui couldn't say anything, but he was a little surprised. Could it be that the County Health Bureau needed to take a license to open a private clinic that benefited the country and the people?
The woman quickly returned to the central room of the north room with a small black medicine bottle from the clinic in the south room. She handed him the bottle and a pack of cotton swabs, saying, "Twenty!" Li Rui was slightly shocked. He wondered why it was so expensive. He asked, "This Scorpion Wine is really not cheap." The woman said, "That's right. This scorpion wine is brewed with old scorpions that are more than five years old and mixed with white potato dried Erguotou wine. You can't buy it even if you go to the county hospital. How can it not be expensive?"
The man waved his hand and said, "That's enough, it's not a big deal. Just take the scorpion wine as a gift for him. Just take the money for the cotton swabs." The woman immediately became anxious and called out, "Why? Scorpion wine is the treasure of our clinic. Most people don't sell it, but you are so generous! "After saying that, she glared at Li Rui.
Li Rui looked very embarrassed. He took out his wallet and prepared to pay the bill.
The man shouted, "What do you know! This is a cadre from the city to help the poor in our Little Dragon King Village! He gave up the good life in the big city and came to our small village to help the poor. Let's not talk about other things first. I, Li Wenhua, admire his warm-hearted heart. How much is the scorpion wine worth? Scorpions are everywhere in the mountains. If you catch them and soak them in the wine for two days, it will be scorpion wine. If you sell it as a treasure, people won't even look at it. Don't make a fool of yourself! "
The woman was scolded in front of Li Rui. She was very unwilling, but she didn't dare to say anything. She was stunned and didn't say anything.
Li Rui took out two ten yuan notes from his wallet and gave it to her. He smiled and said, "Sister, here …" The woman saw that he was very polite, so she only took one note. Then she took out a five yuan note from her pocket and gave it to him. She said, "I'll charge you the cost of the cotton swab. The scorpion wine is a gift to you." Li Rui quickly thanked the couple.
After saying those polite words, he turned around and was about to leave. But he suddenly remembered that Ling Shuyao was not stung by a scorpion in an ordinary place. It was one of the most private places for a woman. She definitely couldn't apply the scorpion wine. Seeing that she was in so much pain, he guessed that she didn't have the strength to apply the scorpion wine. So he had to ask someone else to do it for her. But this person can't be him. There is a difference between men and women. He quickly turned around and said to Li Wenhua, "Doctor Li, you should go with me. My colleague is a woman, and she was stung in her butt. I can't apply the scorpion wine for her. You are a doctor. It's better for you to do it. "
Li Wenhua's wife laughed and said, "Isn't that good? You can get close to her. "Li Rui didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He just looked at Li Wenhua.
Li Wenhua shook his head and said, "I can't go. Didn't you see that my wife is the one who went to get the medicine? I have to eat quickly. After eating, I will go to Old Zhao's house to give him an infusion. He has high blood pressure for a few days. It's more urgent than your colleague. You should apply it yourself. If it's not convenient for you, let her apply it herself. In fact, it's not that painful to be stung by a scorpion. You just need to get used to it. Who in our village didn't get stung when they were young? "
Since he said so, what else can Li Rui say? He turned his head to look at his wife. Suddenly, he had an idea and said, "Big Sister, why don't you help me out? I can pay you a consultation fee." The woman chuckled and said, "Why are you giving such a good opportunity to me?"
Li Wenhua scolded, "If you can go, then go. If you can't go, then don't go. She is a cadre from the city. Don't embarrass our village." The woman snorted and sat down to eat. She said, "I can't go. I still have a lot of things to do at home. You can apply it yourself. It's not a big deal. It's just looking at her butt …"
Li Rui returned to the village committee's central room in a daze and saw Ling Shuyao lying motionless on the camp bed. He was frightened and thought that she had fainted. He hurriedly went over to take a look and saw that her eyes were closed and her face was full of pain. Her cheeks were puffed up and it was obvious that she was clenching her teeth. He couldn't tell if she had fainted or fallen asleep. He reached out and patted her shoulder and whispered, "Miss Ling, Miss Ling?" Ling Shuyao suddenly opened her eyes. She cried out in pain, "Ouch, ouch … it hurts. Oh my god, why did you come back so late? Where is the doctor? " Li Rui said awkwardly, "The doctor didn't come. He had something urgent to do. But I bought some medicine. It won't hurt anymore after I apply it."
Ling Shuyao said weakly, "Okay, it's good that you have medicine. Apply it. Let me see what medicine it is." Li Rui handed over the medicine bottle and said, "Scorpion wine." Ling Shuyao wanted to open the bottle but her wrist was in so much pain that she couldn't open it. She asked, "Will it work?" Li Rui said, "It should work. You … you apply it yourself. It's not convenient for me to apply it for you. I'll wait in the courtyard. "He turned and left. Ling Shuyao felt like she had been bitten by a wolf. She suddenly cried out, "Ouch, don't go. I … I'm in so much pain that I can't move. How can I apply it? You …"
Li Rui said, "I can't apply it for you. It'll sting your … your butt." Ling Shuyao said, "Are there any female comrades in the village committee?" Li Rui said, "No. It's just the two of us. It seems like we've been abandoned." Ling Shuyao said in a sobbing tone, "Do you want me to die from the pain?" Li Rui said, "Can you not be so delicate? I heard from the doctor that everyone in this village, from the elderly to the children, has been stung by scorpions before. He said it doesn't hurt anymore once you get used to it. You just have to struggle and apply it yourself. I … I don't want to arouse suspicion. "
Ling Shuyao scolded, "F * ck, get lost … Who are they and who am I? I've never even seen a scorpion since I was young. I haven't even been stung a few times by a wasp. You think it won't hurt anymore once you get used to it? You're just standing there talking. If you don't feel the pain, why don't you find a scorpion to sting you?" Li Rui didn't get angry and said, "Then what do you think we should do? You can't apply it yourself. There are no female comrades here. Do you really want me to apply it on your butt? "Ling Shuyao was helpless. She was angry and embarrassed. Her face and neck turned red. Li Rui took the opportunity to say, "Just apply it yourself. Struggle and try harder. Anyway, it's just your butt that hurts. Your arms are fine, right?" Ling Shuyao snorted and said unhappily, "Then you can leave."
Li Rui walked out of the door. In order to avoid arousing suspicion, he deliberately closed the door. He stood in the yard and stared at the stars in the sky for a while. Suddenly, he remembered that Ling Shuyao was stung in the latrine. His heart skipped a beat. In the future, he would definitely have to go to the toilet. If he was stung by a scorpion when he took off his pants like she did, he would probably be in a lot of trouble. Looking at the painful expression and body in the latrine, he estimated that it would be at least ten times more painful than getting an injection. After thinking about it, he decided to go to the latrine to see if he could find the scorpion that caused the incident.
He strolled to the latrine, took out his phone, turned on the flashlight, and shone it randomly at the innermost wall. He didn't pay attention during the day, but when he shone the flashlight at night, he realized that the innermost wall of the latrine, which was the wall facing the street of the village committee, was actually made of mud bricks. After a long time, cracks formed between the mud bricks. The surface was densely covered with cobwebs and wormholes. It looked very rustic. He deliberately shone his flashlight into the cracks. If he didn't, he wouldn't have known, but when he did, he was shocked!
He just casually shone his flashlight into a crack, but he could already see a medium-sized scorpion lying inside. The skin of an adult scorpion was slightly black. This one was not yet fully grown. Its skin was light brown with a hint of yellow. It was lying there motionlessly. The dark stinger on its tail flashed a dazzling and strange light under the flashlight.
