45: One plays with his legs, the other plays with his life
When Qin Jiang saw that the Old lady was indeed holding pesticide, his face turned pale with fright.
"Old lady, don't eat it yet! Let's talk things over properly!"
Qin Jiang ran to the bathroom, and a moment later, he came out with a bowl of soapy water, preparing to have the Old lady drink it.
But the Old lady stubbornly refused to drink it, and instead, she said with a look of disdain, "Little Doctor, it's better to eat pesticide than to drink soapy water."
"This soapy water is so hard to drink. The last time I drank it, I threw up for a long time and didn't recover for ages."
The Old lady adamantly refused to drink, and Qin Jiang couldn't find a good solution for a while.
He couldn't force her, could he?
Fortunately, Qin Jiang saw that the Old lady's mental state was still good, so he asked her to sit down first and he would take her pulse.
The result of taking her pulse shocked Qin Jiang.
Not only was the Old lady completely fine, but her gastrointestinal function was even better than that of an ordinary person.
This baffled the Old lady.
Could it be that pesticide could help regulate one's stomach?
Seeing Qin Jiang frowning and not speaking, the Old lady seemed to guess the result of the pulse-taking and smiled at Qin Jiang.
"How is it, Little Doctor? Didn't I tell you that eating this pesticide wouldn't be a problem?"
"If there were a problem, I would have died long ago. How could I possibly come to you to see a doctor?"
The Old lady looked triumphant as she said this, and the audience in the live stream was also amazed.
"Dr. Qin's patients are getting more and more outrageous. I could understand the one who wasn't afraid of boiling water before, since it's just a matter of being stubborn, but how do you explain eating pesticide?"
"The legendary invulnerability to all poisons, could it be that wuxia novels didn't lie, and there really is such a magical skill?"
"Upstairs, read fewer ghost-fighting books all day. Believing everything will only harm you."
"Weren't there several people before who claimed to have special abilities? Didn't Dr. Qin expose them one by one? I'm waiting for Dr. Qin to slap them in the face."
Although most people believe in science and think there are no special abilities in the world.
But it has to be said that the Old lady eating pesticide was truly outrageous.
They racked their brains but couldn't figure out what was going on.
Qin Jiang once again gave the Old lady a thorough full-body examination.
After confirming that it wasn't the Old lady's problem, Qin Jiang turned his attention to the tube of pesticide.
After a moment of silence, Qin Jiang asked, "Old lady, have you only eaten this brand of pesticide, or have you eaten others?"
As soon as Qin Jiang said this, Liu Yan, who was standing by, immediately widened her eyes, thinking Qin Jiang was crazy.
When the Old lady ate the pesticide just now, Qin Jiang was more nervous than anyone, but now he was asking the Old lady if she had eaten other pesticides.
What the hell, did he mean the Old lady should try other flavors?
The Old lady shook her head.
"I haven't tried other pesticides yet. My family only has this one kind of pesticide. My father bought it before."
Qin Jiang seemed to understand something and continued to ask.
"So you've been eating this one brand of pesticide for so many years? The label looks a bit old, so this medicine shouldn't have been bought recently, right?"
The Old lady chuckled.
"I told you my father bought it. He bought a lot, there's a whole pile of it in the warehouse at home."
"It just so happens that I like to eat this kind, and what's at home is enough for me to eat for at least ten more years."
The Old lady's words once again left everyone speechless.
They had heard of hoarding food and snacks, but this was the first time they had seen someone like the Old lady hoarding pesticide.
Qin Jiang took out his phone and searched online directly using the brand name of the pesticide on the test tube.
Soon, Qin Jiang found the relevant information.
After reading it, Qin Jiang fell silent.
"How is it, Little Doctor? Do you know what my illness is? If you don't know, it doesn't matter, I can go to other Hospitals to see."
The Old lady spoke frankly. It wasn't that she thought Qin Jiang's medical skills were bad.
It was just that the Old lady had been to many Hospitals before, and none of them had figured out what was wrong with her.
The Old lady just didn't want to put psychological pressure on Qin Jiang; she wanted him to relax.
Qin Jiang spoke, "Old lady, you are not invulnerable to all poisons. It's just that the pesticide you've been eating has expired."
"Ah?"
As soon as Qin Jiang said this, not only the Old lady but also the audience in the live stream were stunned.
"Pesticide can expire? My goodness, is that true or false?"
"I'm a chemistry major. I actually had this suspicion just now, and I didn't expect it to really be this reason."
"Brother upstairs, can pesticide really expire? If it's true, I'm also going to pretend like the Old lady."
"Brother, not all pesticides expire. Some pesticides become more potent after expiring, such as Dichlorvos."
When Qin Jiang took the Old lady's pulse earlier, he had already sensed something was wrong.
Qin Jiang had deep faith in his medical skills.
After all, his medical skills were given by the system, so there was absolutely no way they could be problematic.
So, since the system wasn't the problem, it could only be the medicine the Old lady was taking that was problematic.
That's why Qin Jiang went back to search online, and only then did he find out that this brand of pesticide had already been discontinued thirty years ago.
And the test tube of pesticide in his hand had been expired for more than twenty years.
"Old lady, you're lucky. This pesticide of yours has lost most of its toxicity after expiring, which is why you've been eating it for so long without issue, and it hasn't even caused any harm to your body."
"But if you were to switch to other pesticides, that could cause a big problem."
Qin Jiang said to the Old lady seriously, "You absolutely must not do something like this again in the future. It's very dangerous and could easily lead to a loss of life."
Now it was the Old lady's turn to be embarrassed.
Earlier, the Old lady had complained that the Old man was a show-off, but he almost got himself into trouble.
Turns out, she played even harder, and almost lost her own life.
Qin Jiang was also speechless looking at this old couple.
Indeed, once people become idle, they can do anything.
One played with his leg, the other played with her life.
Ruthless!
The Old lady said to Qin Jiang with some difficulty:
"So, since this stuff isn't poisonous, can I keep eating it?"
"I can't afford to drink gasoline, and if I can't eat this pesticide either, I feel like I'll suffocate."
The Old lady wasn't lying about this.
The reason she was able to quit gasoline was because she had this pesticide to eat.
Now that Qin Jiang was telling her not to eat the pesticide either, the Old lady would definitely feel terrible.
Qin Jiang shook his head and said:
"Although this pesticide has expired, no one can guarantee that some good sealed ones might still have their potency."
"So, for safety's sake, you can't eat this pesticide anymore."
"And don't be afraid that you'll feel bad without pesticide to eat, because I already know what your illness is, and I can cure you."
The Old lady quickly asked, "What illness?"
