Chapter 43

Aixiaohai already had a plan in mind.

Just as he was about to leave the farm, the brothers Weili Xia and Weidongzhi came out. Weili Xia was pushing a bicycle: "Manager Ai, it’s far from the station, let me take you."

"Oh, no need," Aixiaohai felt a great liking for these simple brothers.

Weidongzhi paused for a moment: "Manager Ai, are you really going to buy this farm?"

Aixiaohai nodded: "Don’t call me Manager Ai anymore. I’m not a manager, just call me Aixiaohai."

"Ah, Ai...," Weidongzhi couldn't bring himself to say it: "We are farmers, hired by Manager Zhou. Manager Zhou... it’s not... good... This place, whether for planting or raising animals, will require a lot of money. As you can see, there’s nothing here..."

Aixiaohai knew this, but it was what others would say. For him, buying the farm would save a lot of money.

"I’m definitely going to buy the farm," Aixiaohai told the brothers: "Stay here patiently. Once it’s mine, you can continue working here, okay?"

"Thank you, thank you," the brothers said gratefully.

"Alright, you go back first. I’ll walk to the station myself."

This distance was no problem for Aixiaohai. It was just that he came in a car and was now going back on foot, a change in treatment that was a bit too quick.

Once he was far from the farm, Aixiaohai sent out his consciousness. In less than two minutes, a group of animals came at his command.

Sparrows, field mice, snakes, weasels...

The snakes and weasels drooled at the sight of the field mice. If it weren’t for the king, they would have already pounced.

Aixiaohai explained his plan to these animals. The king’s orders were followed without hesitation.

Aixiaohai smiled wickedly. Hehe, this would be a good time for Zhou Weiwu...

...

When he returned to his home in Xinan City, it was already dark. Although the negotiations didn’t succeed, it wasn’t without gains. Zhou Weiwu’s farm would eventually be transferred to him.

The living room was cool, and that damn dog, Xiaoqi, had turned on the air conditioner! It was watching TV with Guiling, one on the sofa and one under it, both enjoying themselves.

Aixiaohai was furious. It was the height of summer, and he was sweating profusely outside, while these two were enjoying the air conditioning and watching TV at home?

The dog must be a genius, who has ever seen a dog that can turn on the air conditioner and the TV?

After taking a shower and finding something to eat, he put Guiling on the sofa, making it even more comfortable to watch TV.

The TV was showing an animated series with a turtle, and Guiling was envious: "King, this turtle can walk. How many years must it have taken to cultivate? I wonder if Guiling can do it one day."

No need to cultivate, the animator just draws the turtle walking, Aixiaohai thought with a smile.

He changed the channel with the remote, and the news on Xinan TV caught the attention of Xiaoqi and Guiling. Why watch the news when the animation is so good? Unfortunately, the remote was in Aixiaohai’s hands, and whoever has the remote has the power!

"Now interrupting for an important news update!" The program was suddenly interrupted, and the famous Xinan TV host, Yuyan, appeared:

"Two hours ago, a seven-year-old girl from the 'Xile Circus' performing in our city was unfortunately bitten by a venomous snake. The girl is currently being treated at the Xinan First People's Hospital, but the doctors cannot determine which type of snake bit her and lack the necessary antivenom. The girl’s life is in critical condition. We hope experts and citizens with knowledge in this area will contact us or the hospital. The contact number is... This is Yuyan, Xinan TV news anchor, reporting from the scene..."

Venomous snake bite? How did a venomous snake appear in Xinan? Ah, it must have been brought by the circus.

Despite advanced technology, humans often find themselves helpless when bitten by venomous snakes.

What is unbelievable is that there is only one company in the country that produces antivenom, leaving many patients without treatment!

The reason is simple: low profit and poor circulation, which are the main causes of the antivenom shortage.

In a large international city like Xinan, the only antivenom distributor had only 12 vials of five-step snake antivenom, 10 vials of silver ring snake antivenom, 2 vials of pit viper antivenom, and no cobra antivenom in stock.

In a big city, the chance of being bitten by a venomous snake is very rare, but anything can happen. Once bitten, there are only 24 vials of antivenom available in the entire city.

Aixiaohai’s parents used to work at a snake research institute, so they were very familiar with this. Unfortunately, the underfunded institute had been in a semi-closed state for the past few years.

Right, his parents had left a few vials of antivenom and special snakebite treatment at home, but he didn’t know if they would be effective.

Generally, if bitten by a venomous snake, as long as it’s not extremely toxic, the venom will slowly rot the wound and damage organs, allowing the patient to survive for a few days. If the correct antivenom is found, the patient can be saved, but the damage to the body is inevitable.

But if the correct antivenom cannot be found, the patient will die.

Aixiaohai quickly found the antivenom and special treatment and rushed out of the house.

Xiaoqi snatched the remote, and "power" finally fell into his hands. Looking at Guiling’s angry face, he asked, "Can you use the remote?"

...

"Quick, to the First People's Hospital."

As soon as he got into the taxi, Aixiaohai said impatiently.

The taxi radio was repeatedly broadcasting the rescue appeal. The driver, hearing "First People's Hospital" and seeing what Aixiaohai was holding, asked, "Do you have the medicine to save the girl?"

"Yes, but I don’t know if it will work. Driver, please hurry."

"Alright!" The driver accelerated.

The taxi sped off, running two red lights, which quickly caught the attention of the traffic police. A police car followed, and Aixiaohai quickly opened the window, waving the medicine at the police car and shouting, "Snake medicine, to save a life!"

The police understood immediately and drove in front of the taxi to clear the way. One of the police officers called on the phone: "Hello, command center? Someone might have the snake medicine! We are on South Ring Road. Yes, we are taking them on the best route. Please notify the hospital to prepare immediately!"

At the First People's Hospital, Aixiaohai was about to pay, but the driver was anxious: "Quick, save the girl! Who cares about the money!"

Aixiaohai didn’t hesitate, jumping out of the taxi. Doctors, reporters, and a crowd of citizens were already waiting. They quickly surrounded Aixiaohai, showing that the girl’s condition had touched the hearts of the citizens.

"Where is the medicine?" a doctor asked urgently.

"Here, take me to see the girl’s wound!" Aixiaohai needed to determine which snake had bitten her.

Despite his youth, Aixiaohai’s tone left no room for negotiation. The doctor didn’t argue and quickly led him to the hospital.

As soon as they entered, the host Yuyan was already there, microphone in hand: "Are you the one with the snake medicine?"

Saving a life is like putting out a fire. Aixiaohai, who usually liked the host, pushed her away: "Get out of the way!"

He rushed into the emergency room, where the girl was pale and feverish, her condition critical. Her parents were nearby, the mother almost collapsed in tears, and the father was trying to comfort her.

"We have already injected her with pit viper antivenom, but we still can’t determine which snake bit her."

The doctor’s words stunned Aixiaohai. How could this be? Even if the antivenom wasn’t the right one, it should have at least temporarily relieved the girl’s condition. But the girl’s condition was clearly very critical.

Could the pit viper antivenom have no effect?

Looking down, the snake had bitten the girl’s right hand just above the thumb. This sight shocked Aixiaohai even more. The wound was already rotten and black, and most shockingly, the blackness had spread to the entire right hand.

How could this be? It had only been two hours. Even if bitten by a highly venomous cobra, the blackness would only spread to the wound in two hours, and the rotting would start after three hours. For the entire hand to be black, it would take at least five to six hours!

What kind of venomous snake could be more toxic than a cobra? However, from the current situation, the pit viper antivenom seemed to have had some effect, otherwise, with such a strong venom, the girl would have died long ago.

The antivenom left by his parents was useless, so he could only rely on the special snake medicine.

"Scalpel, quickly!" Aixiaohai said in a commanding tone.

The doctors, forgetting who was in charge, handed him the scalpel without hesitation.

At this moment, Yuyan and the cameraman appeared.

"Do you need anesthetic?" the doctor asked cautiously as Aixiaohai prepared to cut.

"Her hand has no feeling," Aixiaohai said, not looking up, carefully cutting away the rotten flesh, which oozed black blood.

Aixiaohai took out the special snake medicine passed down from his ancestors and applied it to the wound.

I hope it works. His ancestors had specially developed this medicine to combat the snake king, which could treat most venomous snakes. But the girl’s condition was very strange.

Time passed, and the girl’s parents and everyone else were so tense they forgot to breathe.

Three minutes later, the girl, who had been unconscious, suddenly opened her eyes.

A cheer went up in the emergency room, but Aixiaohai’s heart sank:

It’s over!
