Chapter 1620: Seeking Medicine

Li Rui said: "I know a poor household in Longwangmiao Township, Hanshui County who is engaged in breeding raw scorpions. The people he raises are all living scorpions caught from the mountains. I go to ask him for some. As for Fairy River, I ask my friends from Jiupo Town, Shuanghe County to pick up a bottle. It should be enough, right?" As he said that, he looked at the old Chinese doctor.

The old Chinese doctor said: "There are ten mountain scorpions, all of which must live. They are over three years old. The older the better. The Fairy River water cannot be found to be a section of the river to use. The Fairy River water in Shuanghe County is actually considered downstream, so it is best to get water from the Fairy Cave. The water in the Fairy Cave is barely considered middle-stream water, so there is no need to be too much water. What we make is pills, and some are enough. You say you take a bottle, I think it's almost the same, just one bottle of an ordinary mineral water bottle is enough."

Song Chaoyang said solemnly: "Xiao Rui, these two medicines are very important, and they are related to whether Mr. Huang can recover from the disease. Therefore, I think it is better to go to the Fairy Cave Scenic Area in person and get water in person. Don't turn to outsiders, otherwise any mistakes will be delayed. I will send Lao Zhou to drive you there. You first go to Hanshui County, and then go to Shuanghe from the county road. I remember there is a highway from Hanshui County to Shuanghe County, which is not too far. It is much closer than rushing from the city."

Li Rui agreed and said, "Okay, I'll go now, wait for me to come back." After that, he turned around and walked towards the door.

Du Minsheng reminded: "It will be dark soon, be careful when getting water."

Li Rui said, "I understand" and had already left the house.

Five minutes later, Li Rui and Lao Zhou were already driving on the provincial road to Hanshui County. Li Rui grabbed a medium-sized empty mineral water bottle with his left hand and pinched his cell phone with his right hand. He was calling Qingman and told her that he had an emergency task and would not go home for dinner in the evening, so he asked her and her father Li Jianmin to eat first.

After making this call, Lao Zhou said, "Do you think this old medicine from Qinggong and hospital can work?" Li Rui smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know whether it works or not, but it must have a certain effect, otherwise the Qinggong Imperial Hospital will not keep it down. Now I just hope it can work and cure Mr. Huang, otherwise... Oh, it's better not to say it. Mr. Huang is really unlucky. He fell ill as soon as he returned to his hometown. God is really unhappy. Why should such a good old man be troubled for him?"

When he said this, he suddenly remembered that he should call Hu Liquan, otherwise what if he was not at home? He hurriedly looked out his cell phone again, found Hu Liquan's cell phone number and dialed it over.

Hu Liquan is the poor household in Xiaolongwang Village, Longwangmiao Township, Hanshui County who was guided by Li Rui to breed scorpions. He was also the Han tomb of Xiaoling Mountain discovered by Li Rui and was assigned a golden dragon. Li Rui helped him sell it to Gao Zixuan, making him a hidden rich man in Xiaolongwang Village.

The phone call was quickly called, and Li Rui and Hu Liquan exchanged a few greetings. When he learned that he was at home, he was relieved and told him to rush to his house to get the scorpion immediately. Hu Liquan didn't ask why he wanted the scorpion, so he asked him to choose whatever he wanted after he got home.

After speeding all the way, in less than two hours, the No. 1 car of the Municipal Party Committee stopped at the foot of the mountain where Hu Liquan's house was. Li Rui asked Lao Zhou to wait in the car, get off the car himself, and climb up the mountain path. It was dim at this time, and it was already evening.

When he saw Hu Liquan, Li Rui shook hands with him for a few polite words, and then followed him into the breeding greenhouse to pick up scorpions. Before, Hu Liquan believed that he had a golden dragon in his hand and could make a lot of money by going out. Therefore, when raising scorpions, he was a little careless and planned to go through the motions and fool outsiders. He just built a small shed, or Li Rui gave him some truth and reasoned, and advised him to do scorpion breeding as a career. After hearing his words, Hu Liquan demolished the small shed and built a greenhouse again.

Now this greenhouse is located in the middle and west of his small wood-door courtyard, the same size as the three northern houses. Of course, the height is slightly worse. The three sides are earthen walls, the top is covered with plastic cloth, and seven or eight rolls of straw curtains are piled on the top of the north wall, which is quite a bit like a farmer.

Li Rui saw it and felt a little proud in his heart. He thought to himself that this could be considered his own poverty alleviation achievements.

When he entered the shed, Hu Liquan pointed at the narrow scorpion houses separated by one, waved his big hand and said generously: "Director Li, you can choose whatever you want!"

Li Rui saw that he and his hands were empty, and he was secretly funny, thinking that he would pick them casually, what should I choose? He picked them empty-handed? Do you want to try the scorpion tail needle? You don’t need to try this. When I came to help the poverty alleviation last year, Ling Shuyao, who was traveling with him, had already tried it with her butt, but she suffered a lot. She turned her eyes to the scorpion house and saw that there were many bricks and tiles piled up and down the ground. There were many black, oily, yellow scorpions lying on the top and bottom, one by one, and the scene was very terrifying. There were also many little scorpions crawling in and out, crawling back and forth, although silent, they were very lively.

Li Rui said, "Okay, please help me pick it, you need ten... Forget it, you need twelve, all of which are more than three years old, the better. How much does a pound of live scorpions cost now?" Hu Liquan waved his hand and said, "No money, no money, there are only ten scorpions, and what money is there? They are all caught from the mountain, and there is no cost at all. Even if there is a cost, I can't take you money with our friendship." Li Rui smiled and said, "Li Quan, if I use these scorpions myself, I won't give you money, but this is for a patient. I'm here to buy medicine for him, so I have to give money."

Hu Liquan just shook his head, and Li Rui said, "If you don't mention the price, I'll give you a ten yuan for you, a total of 12." Hu Liquan was anxious and said, "I said I don't have money, why do you have to give it to me? I look down on me." Li Rui smiled and said, "I have made it clear. It's not for me to use it, it's for others to buy it. If you don't have money, then I don't want scorpions anymore. I'll buy it at other places." Hu Liquan saw that he was serious and sighed, "Okay, you'll give me twenty yuan." Li Rui waved his hand, took out his wallet, counted out 12 yuan for him, and said, "Just count for a ten yuan, don't talk nonsense to me, grab the scorpions quickly, I'm still in a hurry to leave."

Hu Liquan had no choice but to take the money helplessly, and found a canned bottle from the greenhouse. He held a pair of long bamboo chopsticks in his hand. He squatted in front of the scorpion house to catch scorpions for him. After catching two black and large adult scorpions, he suddenly remembered something and turned around and asked him, "Do you want a male scorpion or a female scorpion?"

This question stumped Li Rui. He scratched his hair awkwardly and said with a wry smile: "This... the doctor didn't say anything, so I don't know. Uh... I'll call and ask."

He walked out of the greenhouse, called Yang Ping, explained the reason, and asked Yang Ping to ask the old Chinese doctor on his behalf. He got the answer in a short while, both male and female can do it.

Li Rui hurried back to the greenhouse and told Hu Liquan that Hu Liquan was skillful. After a while, he caught twelve adult scorpions for him and put them in a can. They happened to be six male and six female.

Li Rui took the canned bottle into his hand, looked at the ugly and ferocious mountain specialties in the bottle, hoping that they could really heal Huang Lao.

When he left, Hu Liquan sent Li Rui down the mountain and talked about the results of breeding raw scorpions on the way. Li Rui encouraged him to persevere and do a large scale, and to one day buy a house in the county with scorpions.

Li Rui returned to the car and put the canned bottles. Without waiting for instructions, Lao Zhou left the village along the way, stepped into the county road, and drove towards Shuanghe County to the east.

When he arrived in Shuanghe, it was already very dark. Li Rui was hungry, so he asked Lao Zhou to find a restaurant on the side of the road to stop and go down to eat. Although it was important to find medicine, he had to take care of his body. If he had to destroy his body because of finding medicine, it would be more cost-effective. Moreover, Mr. Huang’s illness was not an emergency disease, nor was it waiting for life-saving medicine. It would be fine if he delayed it for a while. Having said that Li Rui was still very kind to Mr. Huang. After hearing that there were medicines for curing the disease, he set off immediately and had to find the medicine for every day. This saved Mr. Huang a lot of time to treat him.

After a simple supper, Li Rui and Lao Zhou set off again and went to the Fairy Cave Scenic Area in Jiupo Town to get water.

The Fairy River originates from the mountainous area in the northwest. When you come to Shuanghe, it flows out of the Fairy Cave. Therefore, this section in Shuanghe is named Fairy River. The Fairy Cave is located in the Fairy Cave Scenic Area. The scenic area needs to buy tickets during the day and closes at night. If Li Rui wants to enter the scenic area, he has to ask a local to bring it in.

On the way, he called his old friend, Li Yulan, who is currently the Party Secretary of Jiupo Town, and asked her for help. What is Li Yulan's relationship with him? Naturally, he agreed and the two made an appointment and met at the entrance of the scenic area gate.

As a 4a-level scenic spot, Fairy Cave Scenic Area attracts millions of tourists every year, and tourists must eat, drink, live and play inside and outside the scenic spot, so the comprehensive income generated is as high as several hundred million, and the ticket revenue alone is 50 to 60 million. Shuanghe County attaches great importance to it and has specially set up a regular section-level Fairy Cave Scenic Area Management Committee. Although Li Yulan is not the leader of the scenic spot management committee, as the leader of Jiupo Town, where Fairy Cave Scenic Area is located, she can naturally speak in the scenic spot. With her leadership, Li Rui will have no problem if he wants to enter the scenic spot.

Hurry up and rushed. After an hour, Li Rui finally arrived at the gate of the Fairy Cave Scenic Area. In the vast night, he saw Li Yulan who had never seen him. Li Yulan is a woman who is very neat. She had greeted the scenic area before he arrived. Now the staff on duty in the scenic area have opened a road gate and can enter at any time.

Li Rui didn't have time to talk to Li Yulan, so he took the mineral water bottle, called her, passed the road gate, and walked straight to the depths of the scenic area. As for Lao Zhou, he happened to have free time, so he lay in the car for a while to rest. He was still very tired to drive, especially at night, he had been driving for three or four hours, and it was also very hard.
