Life-Saving Poison

Sitting on the long-distance bus from Xingcheng to Jianghai City, Zhou Tian felt a little depressed. Looking at the heavy rain outside the car window, thinking about her mother who was still in the hospital, and hearing the sobbing coming from behind the seat, Zhou Tian felt even more depressed. For a moment, she seemed to feel that all the bad things had happened to her now.

Zhou Tian is from Xingcheng City, but she is currently a student at Jianghai University Medical School and is about to graduate this year. However, she has not found a job yet.

The place she wanted to go most was the First Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University. Unfortunately, it was not so easy to get into the First Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University. Students from the Jiangnan University Medical School had to be at least graduate students if they wanted to go directly to the First Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University. She was just an undergraduate student at the medical school, so it was difficult for her to get in.

Without a high level of education and no social connections, Zhou Tian knew that she had no hope of working at the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University, so she had already started submitting her resume to other places, but things were not going well. In today's highly competitive society, it is not always easy for fresh graduates to find a good job.

But just when she was busy looking for a job, she received news from home that her mother was ill and needed surgery, so she hurried back to Xingcheng. Fortunately, her mother's operation was successful and she has now passed the critical period. However, she could not stay for a few more days and had to rush back to Jianghai because she received a call from a company and had to go for an interview the next day.

It is important to take care of her mother, but if she cannot find a job, she will still be a burden to the family, which is equivalent to adding pressure to her parents. She feels that the best way to repay her parents is not to stay with them and take care of them all the time, but to be able to support herself as soon as possible. When she can have a good salary in the future, she can take better care of them and even bring them to Jianghai City to live together.

Zhou Tian knew that she was not a very pretty girl, so she could not expect to marry a good husband. She could only rely on herself and find a good job to make her and her family's lives better. So, although she wanted to continue staying in the hospital to take care of her mother, she knew that she should go back to Jianghai City for a job interview.

However, thinking about her sick mother and her job, Zhou Tian's mood could not be improved. Especially after getting on the bus, a girl in the back kept crying, and the girl sitting next to her kept comforting the crying girl. Listening to the conversation between the two, Zhou Tian felt even worse. Wasn't it just that her boyfriend dumped her? There was no need to be so sad, right?

"Who told you to have a long-distance relationship? You deserve to be dumped!" Zhou Tian secretly complained about the girl behind him.

Just when Zhou Tian was feeling depressed, the car suddenly stopped, and a man got on. This man sat down next to her and fell asleep. Then, Zhou Tian's mood seemed to improve a lot suddenly.

Zhou Tian used to think that she was very unlucky, but after seeing this person, she suddenly realized that she was not the most unlucky one. This person looked obviously more unlucky than her. Not only was he soaked all over, but his face was also extremely pale. Based on her five years of experience studying medicine, this person was obviously sick, and seriously ill. However, she then saw faint bloodstains on his body, which made her begin to suspect that this person might not be sick, but was robbed.

According to Zhou Tian's speculation, this person might have been robbed and beaten up, and then thrown on the road. He was probably exposed to the heavy rain for a long time. In short, Zhou Tian felt that this person was very miserable, at least much more miserable than her.

Zhou Tian, ​​who felt that she was unlucky, saw someone who was even more unlucky than her, and suddenly felt that she was not so unlucky. What made Zhou Tian feel a little better was that the girl behind her seemed to have finally stopped crying, because the girl was also looking at the person who had just got on the bus.

In fact, at this moment, the forty or fifty people in the car were all looking at the unlucky guy who had just got on the car, and many of them seemed to have the same speculation as Zhou Tian.

"What's wrong with you, young man? Were you robbed?" a middle-aged lady who looked very enthusiastic asked.

The enthusiasm of the middle-aged woman did not receive a response, and the young man, who seemed to be robbed, did not react at all.

"Little girl, take a look, is this boy okay?" The middle-aged lady was really enthusiastic and said to Zhou Tian again.

Zhou Tian looked at the man sitting next to her and found that he was very young. He looked to be no more than 20 years old, younger than her. Looking at his pale face, she felt a little sympathetic for a moment, so she reached out and shook him, and asked with concern: "Hey, are you okay?"

Unfortunately, her question also received no answer. After a slight hesitation, Zhou Tian used her medical knowledge to do some examinations, and then exclaimed in a low voice: "Oh no, he seems to be in a coma!"

"Unconscious? Then we need to send him to the hospital immediately!" the middle-aged woman said hurriedly.

"But is there a hospital nearby?" Zhou Tian asked.

"The nearest hospital is in Xingcheng. Driver, why don't you drive back?" the middle-aged woman said after thinking for a while.

Before the driver could answer, there was already a chorus of objections in the car.

"How can this be possible? I'm in a hurry to go back to Jianghai City for a meeting!"

"My girlfriend is also waiting for me in Jianghai City."

"Yes, my husband is waiting for me too!"

"If you want to take him to the hospital, just take him out of the car and don't bother us."

"That's right, we can't affect others, right?"

…

In the entire car, except Zhou Tian and the middle-aged lady, no one seemed to agree to send the sick man to the hospital. People these days are indeed becoming more and more selfish. As long as it does not affect their own lives, they don't care whether others are dead or alive.

"Why are you doing this? Human lives are at stake!" The middle-aged woman was a little angry. "This place is only ten kilometers away from Star City. It takes less than an hour to go back and forth. It's just a delay of an hour. What's the problem?"

"I have a contract worth tens of millions waiting to be signed. Will you compensate me for the loss?" a man continued.

"Okay, just brag. A contract worth tens of millions? As a big boss like you, do you need to take a car?" said the middle-aged lady unhappily.

"Auntie, can't we save money?" a girl said, "I just told you, if you are really kind, you can take him out of the car, stop a car on the side of the road, and take him to the hospital!"

"How can we stop a car in such heavy rain?" said the middle-aged woman unhappily.

"Auntie, forget it. I'm a medical student. I just took his pulse and found that although he was unconscious, his pulse was stable, his temperature was normal, and there were no obvious injuries on his body. He should be fine. I think we can still take him to the hospital when we get to Jianghai City." Zhou Tian said at this time: "It's raining so hard outside. If we take him out of the car, he might get wet again, and we won't be able to stop a car for a while. If we are not careful, he will get even sicker."

"Little girl, are you really studying medicine?" The middle-aged woman was a little worried.

"Auntie, I really am studying medicine. I am from Jianghai University School of Medicine and I will graduate this year." Zhou Tian said quickly.

"Jianghai University, it's a famous university!" The middle-aged lady praised and nodded, "Since you are a top student from a famous university, I believe you. You are right. It's not a good idea to take him off the bus now. I will call an ambulance when we get close to Jianghai City."

The turmoil in the car was finally over, and the driver in front breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want anything to happen to his car. He already regretted it at this time. If he had known that there would be such trouble, he should not have stopped the car before.

Xia Tian was in a daze and didn't know that he was lucky to get on a long-distance bus from Xingcheng to Jianghai City. The bus was not full and there were nearly ten empty seats. Perhaps because of this, the driver saw him hailing the bus and stopped, letting him get on. If there were no empty seats, drivers nowadays generally dare not overload the bus, because once they are caught, it would definitely be a loss.

A few days ago, when Xia Tian met Baiyun Mountain, he bought a lot of medicinal herbs and refined some medicine. At that time, he did not tell Ye Yumei what medicine he was refining, but in fact, he was refining a life-saving poison.

Poison may not necessarily be unable to save lives. Some poisons can be used to fight poison with poison. The poison refined by Xia Tian is not used to fight poison with poison, but it is a poison that can greatly improve one's strength within a very short period of time. At critical moments, this poison can indeed be used to save lives. For example, not long ago, he took advantage of the opportunity of vomiting blood and swallowed a lot of this poison, which allowed him to finally successfully kill Bai Yunshan and save his own life. Otherwise, Bai Yunshan would definitely not let him go.

However, the side effects of this medicine are quite serious. First of all, it is poisonous in itself. Although Xia Tian's special physique basically makes him not afraid of poison, the problem is that this poison has a second side effect, which is that it can make him almost lose all his true energy within a period of time. The reason why Xia Tian is not afraid of poison is mainly because of his ice and fire aura. Once the ice and fire aura is gone, the poison will naturally cause certain harm to him.

Of course, Xia Tian was well prepared for this. He had already taken the antidote, but there was another side effect that the medicine could not solve. If he wanted to restore the almost disappeared ice and fire aura, apart from resting, probably only Liu Meng could help him. Now that Liu Meng was not here, all he could do was sleep.

I don’t know how long I slept, but Xia Tian finally woke up. He still felt very tired and wanted to sleep, but he found that it was very noisy around him. To be more specific, it was very noisy behind him. He heard two women shouting excitedly, like a group of noisy ducks quacking, which was very unpleasant.
