Chapter 68: Yan Jiecheng is "sentenced to death"
Just as Lao Mo fell asleep, Yan Jiecheng picked up the bowl of congee with added ingredients, ate a few pieces of pickled cabbage, and gulped it down in two or three mouthfuls.
There was no other way; although someone in the family had died, Yan Bugui had instructed him that he still had to go out and carry heavy loads today. He wouldn't be able to rest until the day of the funeral.
So, after Yan Jiecheng finished eating, he prepared to go out.
With Yan Jiefang dead, the family lost another breadwinner, so Yan Jiefang had to work even harder.
After saying goodbye to his mother, Yan Jiecheng went out.
The place where Yan Jiecheng was carrying the big bags was a bit far, and since he didn't have a bicycle, he had to walk there.
After walking for nearly twenty minutes, he finally arrived at the place where he was carrying the bags.
This is a grain depot; every day there are endless sacks to carry.
As Yan Jiecheng walked through the gate of the grain station, he felt that something was wrong with him.
However, he didn't pay much attention to it. After arriving at the location, he greeted the foreman and began changing his clothes to prepare for work.
Then, while he was changing his clothes, he gradually felt weak all over.
He could barely lift his leg while changing his pants. Finally, he couldn't take it anymore and collapsed to the ground.
Then, he started foaming at the mouth and convulsing.
Yan Jiecheng was clear-headed. He didn't know what was wrong with him. Had he fallen ill?
Just then, one of his coworkers spotted him.
"Oh dear, Yan Jiecheng, what's wrong?"
"Quick, someone come quick! Foreman, Yan Jiecheng is in trouble!"
A group of people rushed over and surrounded Yan Jiecheng, all of them looking completely bewildered, not knowing what was wrong with him.
The foreman rushed over and, upon seeing what was happening, realized something was terribly wrong. Yan Jiecheng had already started vomiting and having diarrhea.
"Quick, what are you waiting for? Get him to the hospital! Hurry!"
People rushed over and, with great haste, carried Yan Jiecheng to the hospital.
Yan Jiecheng was conscious. He said weakly, "I don't need to go to the hospital. I'll rest for a bit and I'll probably be fine."
There was no other way; going to the hospital costs money, and he didn't have any.
Most importantly, he wasn't an employee of the grain station, so his hospital expenses weren't reimbursed.
The foreman immediately became furious.
"What time is it? Why aren't you at the hospital? Do you want to die? You'd better not die here! Go to the hospital first."
The foreman gave the order.
A group of people found a handcart and took Yan Jiecheng to the hospital.
Hongxing Hospital is hailed as a revival point for traditional courtyard houses. However, this time, it may not be so effective.
The doctors here are quite professional.
They quickly diagnosed Yan Jiecheng with poisoning.
Without hesitation, we immediately performed a gastric lavage. After the lavage, we administered the medication as usual.
As expected, Yan Jiecheng did not die and was taken to the ward.
However, the doctors frowned.
Although we performed a normal gastric lavage and used medication, it was completely ineffective.
Yan Jiecheng's internal organs are being eroded and are undergoing fibrosis.
Currently, in their hospital, not to mention in the entire city of Beijing, there is no medicine to solve this problem.
What kind of poison is this? They've never seen it before.
Unfortunately, although paraquat was developed back in 1962, it was developed overseas.
It wasn't imported into China until 1984. Now it's 1970, and they've never even heard of this kind of poison.
Yan Jiecheng's coworkers quickly notified Yan Bugui to come over.
When Yan Bugui heard the news, he was completely stunned.
His eldest son was poisoned?
The family rushed to the hospital. Upon hearing that his stomach had been pumped, Yan Jiecheng regained consciousness.
Yan Bugui and his wife, along with Yu Li, breathed a long sigh of relief.
That's how it is with poisoning. As long as you don't die on the spot, you can have your stomach pumped, take some medicine, and slowly recover.
It's just that spending money is painful!
Yan Bugui is furious!
He sat by Yan Jiecheng's bedside and first asked him where he had been poisoned.
Yan Jiecheng was clear-headed. He told Yan Bugui that he had only drunk two bowls of thin porridge that day and had not eaten anything else.
Yan Bugui glared at him fiercely.
He thought to himself, "Silly son, can't you just say you ate it at the grain station?"
However, with so many people watching, Yan Bugui had no choice.
Finally, seeing that he couldn't get the grain depot to the pit, Yan Bugui immediately called the police.
Soon, Chen Qingshan arrived with two police officers.
We don't know Yan Jiecheng's current condition yet; we need to consult a doctor first.
After all, poisoning that doesn't kill you is a different process than poisoning that kills you.
In the doctor's office, facing the parents and police, the doctor spoke frankly: "Teacher Yan, Captain Chen, let me tell you the truth! This kind of poison has never been seen in our country before. Yan Jiecheng's condition is not good; every organ in his body is fibrotic and deteriorating."
Currently, we don't have any medication that can control it. Therefore, it's highly likely that Yan Jiecheng cannot be saved here.
"Teacher Yan, why don't you transfer to another hospital? Go to Peking Union Medical College Hospital; their medical resources are better, and maybe, just perhaps, they can still save him."
"What?"
Yan Bugui's eyes widened.
"No, isn't he conscious? He can just rest and recover, right? How come he can't be saved?"
Yan Bugui shouted loudly.
The doctor explained, "Teacher Yan, there's no use in worrying. We're even more worried than you are. But we really did our best."
Yan Bugui was completely numb.
"Isn't this person conscious? How could you sentence him to death?"
The doctor had to explain: "This poison is very strange. It only attacks the internal organs and various viscera, but it does not damage the brain."
Therefore, I'm certain that he was conscious before he died. But being conscious doesn't mean he can be saved! His internal organs were all damaged; how could he be saved?
Yan Bugui suddenly felt a blur before his eyes and fell backward.
Fortunately, Captain Chen was standing behind him, and several people quickly helped him up.
Yan Bugui cried: "Captain Chen, please help me find out who poisoned us. It's outrageous!"
His grandson died, his second son died, and now his eldest son has died. He can't take it anymore!
"Yes, don't worry, Teacher Yan, we will definitely find the murderer."
If Yan Bugui hadn't known that Lao Mo had already been arrested, he would definitely have said that Lao Mo was the one who did it.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Qingshan found a place on the spot to take Yan Bugui's statement, leaving Yan Bugui to take care of Yan Jiecheng at the hospital.
The three women, Yang Ruihua and Yu Li, were taken away.
Shortly after, more police officers arrived at the courtyard and took Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi away as well.
The house was thoroughly searched. All kinds of food were taken back for testing.
However, despite their testimonies and examination of all the food, no clues could be found.
In the afternoon, Lao Mo slowly woke up, ate something, and felt refreshed again.
Full of energy, he started playing around with the space again.
A large circle, sixty meters in diameter, swayed around him.
Suddenly, Old Mo saw someone.
That's right, that was his greatest enemy, Jia Zhangshi.
He hadn't even noticed yesterday that this old woman lived here too.
