(Yao Xue Rong's POV)
The poison grandmother has is what we call Rheumatoid Bee Poison, this poison is extracted from Apis mellifera scutellata which is commonly called Apitoxin. Apitoxin from this poisonous bee has the highest killing efficiency rate which directly damages the cells in the body, excluding white blood cells and gametes. It will let the upper body deteriorate and stop the cells from receiving nutrients while swelling occurs on the legs of the victim. When I was young I used to do lab research about poisons and look for appropriate cure. And now that my grandmother is in a critical condition I must use the hardest detoxification method which is countering a bee poison using its own venom and turning poisonous wild plants into medicinal herbs.
I went to a renowned blacksmith at the foot of the mountain and let him mold lab apparatus like; safety goggles and safety equipment, beakers, conical flasks, boiling flasks, test tubes, tongs, and racks, watch glasses, crucibles, funnels, graduated cylinders, volumetric flasks, droppers, pipettes, burets, ring stands, rings, and clamps, tongs and forceps, spatulas and scoopulas, and tools that will help me with fire and chemical balancing. I've also designed a set of acupuncture needles, medical tools, surgical blades, dissecting kit and microsurgery knives, and these things amazed him, thinking that I wanted to play like a child.
It must be amusing for ancient people to see these kinds of things that came from the modern world, I just need to keep everyone in the dark and hide the truth from where these ideas came from. Before we move to the detoxification process I made sure that my grandma would nourish her body for a week which greatly stopped her legs from swelling further. And I also injected a venom antiserum which came from the bees but the effects only lessened the swelling in half which enable my grandmother to move her legs while saying she can finally feel the numbness gone.
”Jiejie!” the door suddenly opened
”Xie'er what are you doing here?”
”I came here to deliver dinner, grandpa says you shouldn't pass meals because it will damage your body and that you will get sick. I don't want jiejie to be sick.” Xiemen pouted
”Come here” I said, he instructed nanny Zhang first to put the tray on the table and urged me to eat. I stood and walked towards the table then nanny Zhang left us. He then climbed to sit beside me and munch some cookies.
”Jiejie are those grandma's medicine? Will she be okay soon after drinking those?” he asked
”Yes, those are grandma's medicines and I will cure grandma so she will be healthy again” I answered
”Grandfather will be very happy if grandma is happy. Jiejie in the future can you teach me about medicine? I also want to be like jiejie. So if in the future father's wives find fault on me and poison me I will be able to defend myself.” He reasoned which made me sighed, he really is too smart for his age
