Courtyard Houses: Starting as a Purchasing Agent

But then I discovered a huge scorpion on my middle finger, viciously biting my fingertip!

"Ah...ah...ah..." The excruciating pain and fear made Bang Geng scream.

"Help! Help!"

Chapter 172 One injection costs 3,500 yuan, and the money to open the shop is gone!

The sharp sound of the stick pierced the morning air throughout the courtyard.

Jia Zhangshi rushed into Liu Aiguo's house in a panic.

then……

Wow…

All the neighbors in the compound came.

Especially the backyard.

The backyard wasn't completely deserted; at least Aunt Er, Guangtian, Guangfu's wife, and a few other residents were still there!

Everyone gathered around Liu Aiguo's house.

"My dear grandson... my dear grandson... what's wrong?"

"Why are you like this?"

Jia Zhangshi lay on the ground, hugging the stick.

The stick-like stem held its arms.

But in his hand was a large scorpion.

"What's wrong... what's going on?"

"Huh... what's Bang Geng doing here?"

"Isn't this Liu Aiguo? ...Bang Geng, what are you doing here at Liu Aiguo's place...?"

The neighbors immediately realized something was wrong.

Liu Aiguo just left, how come you're already at someone else's house?

They're not here to steal anything, are they?

Many people understood immediately upon seeing the money box on the ground in front of Bang Geng.

Stealing!

They're definitely here to steal something.

"It hurts...it hurts..." Banggeng cried out, "Grandma, a scorpion...a scorpion bit me, it hurts so much..."

"Great idea! 363"

"Awesome!"

At this moment, Qin Huairu, Xiao Dang, Huaihua and He Yuzhu also ran over.

Qin Huairu was filled with regret.

She knew perfectly well that Banggeng was going to steal things, especially money.

At that time, she instinctively felt it was no big deal. Anyway, Liu Aiguo's family had all left. They stole 20,000 yuan from their family, so our Jia family would have to work less for a few years.

But to my utter surprise, I was still careless.

"How could there be scorpions in the dead of winter?" Qin Huairu used a rolling pin to knock the shoe off Banggeng's hand and stomped on it to death.

Everyone looked at the stick's hand.

sizzle...

Jet black with white hair.

My entire middle finger turned black.

Then the blackening spread up the middle finger, covering the entire wrist.

Banggeng's entire right arm has lost sensation.

“It’s poisonous…this stuff is poisonous…” The old man, with his rich experience, said, “We need to bleed it…quickly, let some of the poisonous blood out of the stalk first!”

In her haste, Qin Huairu cut the tip of the stick and sucked on it fiercely.

After sucking out three or four mouthfuls of black blood, the blood in the stick gradually turned red.

However, Bang Geng fainted.

　(cjbf) "That damned Liu Aiguo... he actually kept scorpions at home and harmed my precious grandson... he deserves to die..."

Jia Zhangshi cried and cursed loudly.

The neighbors, however, were all laughing at them.

Aunt Er bluntly said, "To be honest, it's strange. Aiguo locked the door before leaving, so how did Banggeng end up in someone else's house? It's obviously theft..."

"Exactly!" Aunt San said, "Serves him right... He stole things, he deserves to be bitten to death!"

Grandpa Yi said, "Alright, alright, saving lives is the priority now, let's get him to the hospital quickly!"

So, Uncle Yi, Uncle Er, He Yuzhu, Qin Huairu and the others worked together to lift the stick onto the cart, and then hurriedly ran towards the hospital.

They were taken directly to the emergency room upon arrival at the hospital.

A doctor, around fifty or sixty years old with a full head of white hair, looked at Banggeng and said, "Nonsense, where would a scorpion come from in the dead of winter?"

"Doctor, it really is a scorpion, I can see it clearly!"

Qin Huairu even brought the dead scorpion with her.

The doctor examined the scorpion and said, "This scorpion is venomous... Luckily, you sucked his blood in time, which saved his life... Of course, it's also fortunate that he was bitten by a scorpion; if it had been a venomous snake, he probably wouldn't have survived!"

The doctor said calmly, "Although scorpions are venomous, their venom is relatively less potent than that of venomous snakes!"

call……

Hearing the doctor say this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

It's better not to die.

"Doctor..." Madam Jia asked anxiously, "Then why is my beloved grandson unconscious... When will he wake up?"

This is the key.

The doctor checked Bang Geng's pulse, his brow furrowing deeply. He said, "The scorpion's venom is still too potent... Our usual methods at this hospital probably won't work; they won't save his life!"

"We need to find scorpion venom serum within three days and inject it into him... only then can we gradually alleviate the toxins in his body. Otherwise, once three days have passed, the toxins will spread throughout his body, his organs will fail, and he will still die!"

"what……"

Everyone became worried again.

"Um, doctor..." Qin Huairu asked timidly, "What kind of toxin is this? Is it expensive?"

The doctor said, "It's scorpion venom serum..."

"Hmm...it is a bit expensive...but this is medicine that can save lives, so it's worth the price!"

Qin Huairu asked, "Then... how much does this medicine cost?"

The doctor said, "If you calculate it all out, it should cost about a thousand yuan per injection... Of course, you don't need to worry, one injection is enough!"

"what?"

"One thousand yuan per injection?"

"This...is so expensive?"

He Yuzhu, Qin Huairu, and Uncle Yi all stared wide-eyed.

One thousand!

When we have a cold, a shot in the buttocks only costs a penny or two.

This is a thousand yuan!

"You...how can you be so greedy?" Jia Zhangshi immediately started cursing: "Did your hospital eat salt or smash it up? It's so thirsty and dirty...a thousand yuan, why don't you just rob us!"

The doctor was so angry at being criticized that he couldn't sit still.

"Doctor...please don't take it to heart!" Fortunately, the old man was understanding and said, "Saving lives is more important...this may be expensive, but it's a life-saving medicine!"

"Hmph..." the doctor sneered, "That's right, compared to those aged ginseng, this thousand yuan is far from enough!"

"Alright!" Qin Huairu said, "A thousand it is... as long as it can save a life... a thousand is fine!"

It's just a thousand yuan, isn't it?

I have got.

Even if you spend a thousand, you can tighten your belt and continue running the shop.

He Yuzhu nodded in agreement: "Doctor, I'll go pay the bill... Please take the medicine quickly!"

"No rush!" the doctor waved his hand and said, "I haven't finished speaking yet... Please be patient and let me finish..."
