Gu Jingyue walked along the construction site and stopped not far ahead in front of a low hillside.
"We're here, next to the bushes on that hillside!" she said, pointing to the bushes on the hillside and walking towards them.
Everyone followed Gu Jingyue to the bushes and indeed saw flowers and grass similar to Phalaenopsis orchids growing there.
The flowers indeed resembled red butterflies, emitting a captivating fragrance.
"Is this Shexian Grass?" the male doctor asked Cheng Xiaofan.
Cheng Xiaofan nodded and said, "You can only look, absolutely do not touch its branches and leaves, otherwise, you will be poisoned like Jingyue and fall to the ground."
"Besides being called Shexian Grass, it's also called Snake Venom Orchid, and it's a plant that the Five-Paced Viper likes the most!"
"Normally, the Five-Paced Viper likes to secrete its venom and drip it at the root of the Shexian Grass. After being soaked in venom, the flowers that grow from this grass can emit a scent that confuses people."
"After the flowers of Shexian Grass wither, they leave behind small black-red fruits. When the fruits mature, the Five-Paced Viper will eat them all."
Han Jie said with a smile at this moment, "This is the first time I've heard that Five-Paced Vipers eat the fruits of plants!"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled, "You could say that. The reason the Five-Paced Viper secretes its venom and drips it at the root of this grass is to cultivate this Shexian Fruit."
The male doctor asked curiously, "Mr. Cheng, does the Five-Paced Viper have any purpose in cultivating this Shexian Fruit?"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "It is said that if the Five-Paced Viper eats this fruit, it can prolong its life, strengthen its attack power, and resist attacks from eagles!"
"I haven't studied whether this statement is correct, but one thing is certain, this Shexian Fruit is a very famous Chinese medicinal herb."
"In the past, the mountain climbers here used this Shexian Fruit to make medicine and take it, and all kinds of venomous insects and snakes would avoid them from far away."
"In addition, if you suffer an injury and bleed, applying the juice of Shexian Fruit to the wound will cause the wound to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye!"
"Are there many such Shexian Grass in the primeval forest of this back mountain?" The male doctor suddenly became very interested in this grass.
Cheng Xiaofan shook his head and said, "Extremely rare."
"If I hadn't encountered Jingyue being poisoned by Shexian Grass today, I wouldn't have imagined that such grass would appear in this back mountain."
"I heard from the elders in the village that Shexian Grass has been extinct for more than a hundred years!"
"However—"
Cheng Xiaofan solemnly warned everyone present, "If you discover this Shexian Grass, absolutely do not touch it without authorization. There is a layer of very fine fuzz on the leaves of Shexian Grass, which is not visible unless you look closely."
"This fuzz contains potent poison. When your hand touches it, it will quickly penetrate your skin and spread the toxin throughout your body. Moreover, ordinary medical instruments cannot diagnose it."
"In addition, Five-Paced Vipers are usually hidden near Shexian Grass. When it sees you approaching Shexian Grass, it will launch a surprise attack from hiding!"
He turned to Gu Jingyue, "You are lucky today. You didn't encounter a Five-Paced Viper near the Shexian Grass. Otherwise, if you were attacked by both poisons, you would be finished before I could get here!"
"Ah!"
Gu Jingyue shivered all over again upon hearing this, her face turning pale.
Everyone present also felt a chill.
"Xiaofan, thank you so much this time!" Gu Jingyue thanked Cheng Xiaofan.
Cheng Xiaoyan smiled, "What are you saying, this is what I should do!"
Bai Yiling instructed the nurses, "Use your phones to take pictures of the Shexian Flower from multiple angles and send them to the engineering team's group chat. Warn them to report immediately if they encounter this flower and not to approach it."
"Yes, President Bai!"
The nurses responded and quickly took out their phones, taking pictures of the Shexian Flower with clicks and clacks.
After they finished taking pictures, Cheng Xiaofan borrowed a pickaxe from a nearby worker and carefully dug up the Shexian Grass.
Then, he asked someone for a plastic bag and put the Shexian Grass into it.
"Xiaofan, what do you want this Shexian Grass for?" Bai Yiling asked curiously.
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "The fruit produced by Shexian Grass is a rare and famous medicine. I want to find a place to plant it and use some special techniques to make it bear fruit as soon as possible, and then use the fruit to cultivate medicinal seedlings!"
Bai Yiling said, "This thing is too terrifying. One touch and you're poisoned. You dare to deal with it?"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled, "The medicinal seedlings cultivated with Shexian Fruit will not be poisonous, and the medicinal value of the fruits they bear later will not be low!"
The male doctor was excited when he heard this, "Mr. Cheng, if you succeed in cultivating it in the future, can you give me some Shexian Fruit?"
"No, I misspoke, I'll buy it with money!"
"Right, we'll buy it with money!" the female doctor chimed in.
Cheng Xiaofan burst into laughter and said to them, "Don't worry, I won't let you spend money, I'll give some to you!"
This doctor couple had left their families behind to work for Zhuxi Village. How could Cheng Xiaofan accept money from them for Shexian Fruit!
He also knew the purpose of the doctors wanting Shexian Fruit was to serve the workers here.
Even if they offered a higher price, Cheng Xiaofan would not accept their money.
"When do you think you can cultivate it?" The male doctor looked a bit impatient.
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "If luck is good, it will only take half a month!"
"Half a month to cultivate it?" The eyes of the doctor couple almost fell out in shock.
In fact, with Cheng Xiaofan's use of the power of his space, it would take at most a week.
However, he was afraid of frightening the doctor couple if he said it, so he intentionally prolonged the time.
He didn't expect to have said it too short.
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "Yes, I said 'if luck is good'."
"However, my luck has always been quite good!"
Finally, he added a sentence to prove that he could indeed handle the Shexian Fruit within half a month.
The doctor couple was ecstatic!
When they came here, they had already heard some things about Cheng Xiaofan from Bai Yiling.
They knew he had cultivated super nutritious cabbage, fruit ginseng, and divine fish.
But this was the first time they had witnessed his medical skills today.
What impressed them most was that Cheng Xiaofan was able to determine what poison Gu Jingyue had contracted just from her pale green sclera.
Even if Hua Tuo were alive, he might not have been able to do it!
At this moment, Miao Xiuhua called Cheng Xiaofan: "Xiaofan, hurry back, your Sister Guihua was bitten by a Five-Paced Viper in my backyard!"
