260: Chapter 260 Black-striped Snake 260: Chapter 260 Black-striped Snake After yesterday’s drainage efforts, most of the rice paddies no longer had much standing water.

The exposed rice fields were a pitiful sight to behold.

Many rice seedlings had been washed away and scattered by the heavy rain.

Moreover, many rice fields were bald, with no trace of the crops remaining.

“It’s such a pity, so many seedlings lost, a severe loss indeed.”

Observing the condition of the fields, Chen Yang couldn’t help expressing his sigh.

Wu Kexin felt the same.

As the village head of Liuhé Village, she was undoubtedly the most anxious about this situation.

“A severe loss means we need to quickly take stock and clear the roads to minimize everyone’s losses,” she said.

Wu Kexin, her face serious, held a notebook and registered details as she walked.

She meticulously recorded how many seedlings survived and how many were lost for each acre.

Chen Yang’s role was to assist her side by side.

After bustling about in the fields for over two hours, the two had recorded the condition of all the flooded paddies in Liuhé Village.

“Phew, this is way more tiring than actual physical labor.”

After two hours of moving around, Chen Yang was noticeably tired.

Reaching a stream, he sat down and dipped his feet in to wash them.

The field ridges were extremely muddy after the deluge.

Having walked through them for two hours, their calves and feet were caked with yellow mud.

Before leaving, naturally, they washed off in the stream.

Wu Kexin copied Chen Yang, found a relatively clean rock by the stream to sit on, and soaked her legs as well.

“Tired already?

It was just, just two hours,” she said with a tone tinged with mockery.

Chen Yang rolled his eyes in response, “Well, walking is a natural skill for you women, I can’t compete with that,” he retorted.

Hearing this, Wu Kexin couldn’t suppress a laugh.

She understood what Chen Yang meant; he was ribbing her about women’s propensity for shopping sprees.

Wu Kexin merely smiled and didn’t reply.

She comfortably soaked her legs in the water.

“Ah!”

After several minutes, just as Chen Yang was resting comfortably, he suddenly heard a sharp shriek from Wu Kexin.

Chen Yang immediately sprang into action, turning toward Wu Kexin to see what had happened.

“What’s wrong, Village Head?” he asked.

Wu Kexin was holding her stark white thigh, her face covered with cold sweat.

“There’s something in the water…

it bit me!”

Wu Kexin was on the verge of crying from pain.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang was alarmed, and his gaze quickly turned to Wu Kexin’s leg.

On her calf, there were two very obvious puncture wounds!

“Damn!

That’s a snake bite!”

Merely by observing the wound, Chen Yang immediately determined it was a snake bite.

Such puncture wounds could only come from a snake!

After his exclamation, Chen Yang glanced toward the stream.

Indeed, he saw a black snake swimming in the stream, headed to the other side.

Chen Yang, quick as a flash, grabbed the snake from the water.

“A Black-striped Snake!

This is big trouble.”

After closely inspecting the snake, Chen Yang recognized its species, then flung it to the ground, killing it on impact.

“Chen Yang…

it hurts so much…

Is this snake venomous…?”

Wu Kexin turned pale looking at the Black-striped Snake Chen Yang had killed.

The dark snake gave her the impression that it was highly venomous.

Chen Yang approached her with a complicated expression on his face.

He didn’t know how to explain it to Wu Kexin.

Black-striped Snakes weren’t very venomous, containing only a slight amount of poison that could be easily dealt with.

However, after being bitten by this kind of snake, there is a very troublesome symptom.

It induces arousal…

“What’s wrong, Chen Yang?

Is it really difficult to cure?” Seeing the complex expression on Chen Yang’s face, Wu Kexin thought the venom of the snake was too potent.

“No…

it’s not that, the venom of this snake isn’t very potent, it’s just…” Chen Yang, with a thick face, was ready to tell Wu Kexin about all the symptoms of the Black-striped Snake.

But as soon as Wu Kexin heard that the venom wasn’t strong, she immediately interrupted, “Then you should treat me quickly…

It really hurts!

The wound is killing me.”

Wu Kexin was sweating profusely from the pain, her entire face becoming bloodless.

Her appearance was pitiable.

“Alright, hold on a bit, I’m going to suck the toxin out of the wound first.”

“Mmm…

okay.”

Wu Kexin nodded with her teeth clenched tightly.

Without another word, Chen Yang picked up Wu Kexin’s foot and kissed the wound.

“Ah!”

The hot lips touched the cold, painful wound, causing Wu Kexin to let out an involuntary low moan.

But that was the only sound she made.

Afterward, she bit her lip and remained silent, enduring the pain.

“Tui!”

Chen Yang sucked hard and spit out a mouthful of darkened blood.

He then kissed the wound again.

He repeated this process six or seven times until the blood ran red without any black substance, and then Chen Yang finally stopped.

“Hiss,”

Wu Kexin’s complexion was still deathly pale, “Chen Yang…

it still hurts a lot…”

Chen Yang looked at Wu Kexin with sympathy, “Hang in there for a bit, I’ll carry you back and apply some medicine, that should help.”

“Okay.”

Wu Kexin nodded.

Then, Chen Yang immediately picked her up in his arms and rushed towards their home.

Wu Kexin’s complexion did not improve in his arms, and even the arm around Chen Yang’s neck felt weak and powerless.

As if it might let go at any moment.

Fortunately, Chen Yang moved quickly.

After picking up Wu Kexin, it took only a couple of minutes to rush from the fields back to the clinic.

And he laid Wu Kexin down on the sickbed.

By this time, Wu Kexin’s body was beginning to feel warm, and the sweat on her forehead turned from cold to hot.

“Village chief, how are you feeling now?

Besides the pain, are there any other symptoms?”

After setting Wu Kexin down, Chen Yang immediately asked about her current condition.

“It still hurts.”

Wu Kexin nodded, then added, “And now I also feel my body getting hot…

I feel very warm…”

Wu Kexin’s breathing became rapid.

Chen Yang, from a distance, could feel the heat from Wu Kexin’s breath.

“Just wait a moment.”

As soon as Chen Yang heard Wu Kexin was hot,

he turned and got a wet towel from the bathhouse to place on her forehead.

He then positioned the house fan towards her, setting it to the highest speed.

“Do you feel a bit better?” Chen Yang asked.

With a dazed look in her eyes, Wu Kexin nodded, “It feels a bit better…”

“Then that’s good, hold on for a bit, I’ll go prepare some medicine for you, your wound needs to be treated promptly.”

Chen Yang was somewhat relieved to hear Wu Kexin felt a bit better.

He immediately left the sickroom and went into the inner room to gather all the remaining medicinal herbs from the house.

“The venom of the Black-striped Snake isn’t potent, just some detoxifying herbs should be enough to cure it.”

Chen Yang rummaged through the pile of herbs and soon selected a prescription for detoxification.

He put away the unused herbs, then quickly ground the ones in his hand into powder and applied them to the wound on Wu Kexin’s lower leg.

When the herb paste, moist with juice, made contact with Wu Kexin’s skin, she felt a burst of coolness.
