The water from the sky was clean and carried a faint sweet taste, far better than the tap water of later times.
Zhu Yanyi had the water placed on a nearby stool. She poured the Spirit Spring water into it, then took out dried snake medicine, crushed it, and set it aside. Just then, the black blood turned red. Zhu Yanyi stepped forward, pulled out a few silver needles, and the bleeding stopped.
She cleaned the wound for him, applied the snake medicine, and bandaged it. Then, she took out a pill and placed it in the man’s mouth. As soon as the pill went in, the man woke up.
"She's awake! She's awake!" Lei Yao clapped her hands, marveling. "Ani, you are truly amazing." If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, who could have imagined that a six-year-old girl like Zhu Yanyi possessed such miraculous medical skills.
Zhu Yanyi smiled slightly. "Uncle Lei Yao, you flatter me. This technician will feel dry-mouthed after she returns. She must not drink water for twelve hours. No matter how dry her mouth feels, she must endure it. After twelve hours, she will be fine. There are no other restrictions."
Zhu Yanyi told Lei Yao what to watch out for. Lei Yao nodded, showing she understood. "I will keep an eye on her. She will absolutely not drink water within twelve hours."
By this time, the technician was fully awake and had naturally heard this. He said helplessly, "I don't look like someone who can't hold back."
Zhu Yanyi explained, "The snake that bit you has a special trait: it spreads venom through water. I have removed the venom from your body, but the aftereffects remain. If you drink water, you won't die, but every year at this time, you will feel as if your whole body is burning with pain. That would not be worth it. However, if you endure these twelve hours, the aftereffect will turn into a benefit. You will never fear snake venom again. No snake venom can harm you for the rest of your life. Tell me, do you want to endure it?"
"I will endure it. Absolutely." The technician smiled. "No matter what, I will endure it. With such a benefit, I will endure it no matter what." These were true words. As an agricultural technician, he often went to the countryside. Whether in the mountains or fields, snakes were always present. If he could be immune to snake venom, it was like heaven had given him a cheat code. So, he was naturally willing to endure it.
Seeing this, Zhu Yanyi said, "So, just endure these twelve hours. If you can't hold on, have someone knock you out. Anyway, you can drink water after twelve hours."
"Alright." The technician nodded in agreement. "My name is Zhou Mingyu. I am an agricultural technician from Sicheng Town. If you have any agricultural questions in the future, just come to me."
Zhu Yanyi thought for a moment, then asked, "Technician Zhou, do you have the technology for growing vegetables in greenhouses?"
"In theory, yes, but we haven't practiced it yet," Zhou Mingyu said seriously. Indeed, they were currently researching this aspect, but it had not yet been promoted or implemented.
"I see." Zhu Yanyi smiled. It was like someone delivering a pillow when she was sleepy. She knew her father, Zhu Shunyao, had been studying greenhouses these past few days. After summer, autumn would arrive soon. She lacked understanding in some areas and was feeling lost. Now that she had Zhou Mingyu, the greenhouse project might proceed much more smoothly.
Although Zhou Mingyu did not know why Zhu Yanyi asked this, seeing a six-year-old girl with such excellent medical skills, she did not treat her as an ordinary child. She decided to go back and carefully review books on this topic. Perhaps one day, it would come in handy.
