Chapter 1150: Sick
Lu Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly secretly, more than 30 years ago, my brother hadn't been born yet! He smiled and said: "I'm young, and I don't know what happened before, so I'll just talk about the current thing, the Three Gorges Dam has been repaired a long time ago, and now there are basically no major floods in the middle and lower reaches of the river." ”
"When I came here, there weren't any good roads in Kawanaka, so how are they now? ”
"Now, the high-speed rail should pass through. ”
"What is high-speed rail?"
“…… This is ......"
Old man Xia lived in this primitive village more than thirty years ago, there was no electricity here, let alone the Internet, and he knew almost nothing about the outside world, only thinking that everything Lu Chen said was fresh.
Soon, a table of very simple peasant dishes was served, one of the best dishes was snake meat soup, and some earthy water wine, Lu Chen and Old Man Xia chatted while eating and drinking, Nangong Yueyue was soon sleepy after eating, and followed Old Man Xia's wife to sleep in the room.
Lu Chen kept saying that Old Man Xia couldn't hold back and dozed off, so he went to rest. Nangong Yueyue slept fragrantly, and her sleeping position was ugly, and her body twisted almost to occupy the entire bed.
Lu Chen shook his head secretly, did not wake her up, but directly spread the mat on the ground and started the floor, anyway, the house is made of wood, and the bed is also wood, in fact, sleeping on the ground and the bed, there is only a difference in height.
Running all the way, Lu Chen was actually a little tired, and he slept very soundly this time.
The next morning, Lu Chen was woken up by the sound of chattering teeth, and when he opened his eyes, he couldn't help but feel a tightening heart.
Trouble!
Nangong Yueyue shrunk into a ball, tightly wrapped around the blanket, her face was pale, and her teeth kept chattering, "It's cold, it's cold...... It's cold!"
Lu Chen hurriedly pulled Nangong Yueyue's hand and asked in a deep voice, "Yueyue, how do you feel?"
"It's so cold, my whole body hurts, it's so uncomfortable!"
Lu Chen sighed secretly, the most worrying situation appeared, in the dense jungle and hot climate of Myanmar, Nangong Yueyue had malaria.
This is a fairly serious infectious disease caused by the malaria parasite transmitted by mosquitoes. Symptoms in the early stages of infection include periodic fevers and chills, headaches, muscle aches, and tiredness.
It may sound light, but malaria rises above 40 degrees Celsius for several hours or even days during fever, while when it is cold, the person's body temperature drops to about 35 degrees, which is significantly lower than normal body temperature.
Such alternating hot and cold torture can easily cause serious diseases such as kidney failure, severe anemia, water and electrolyte imbalance, and jaundice, which can threaten life.
This ancient disease kills hundreds of thousands, if not millions, every year. Especially in some primitive areas where there is a shortage of medical treatment, such as the village where Lu Chen is located, it doesn't look like it can treat malaria.
The malaria parasite is found in a person's blood and liver, and the best thing to do is to kill the parasite and eggs with drugs. Although the use of Shenmen Thirteen Needles can promote the human immune system to produce antibodies to the malaria parasite and kill the malaria parasite, this is not an overnight thing, and after a cycle of malaria, people will experience high fever and hypothermia.
Originally, Lu Chen planned to go south and turn west by land, so that he could go directly to a large port economic zone operated by Huaxia enterprises, as long as he got there, not only Nangong Yueyue would be safe, but also the infrastructure there was good, so he could take a good rest.
But now that Nangong Yueyue has malaria, with her physical fitness, she can't bear it for long, even if she can treat her, she needs to have a relatively comfortable place to recuperate as soon as possible. In this case, the previous plan would have to be changed.
Malaria is painful at first, then hot, body temperature can be as high as 40 degrees Celsius, and at the same time, there will be profuse sweating, and even vomiting and other symptoms.
Lu Chen hurriedly asked Old Man Xia to prepare sugar brine and wild juice in order to replenish Nangong Yueyue's lost vitamins and electrolytes.
Then, Lu Chen grabbed Nangong Yueyue's hand, secretly lucked her true qi, and relieved her pain.
When malaria attacks, people are generally awake, Nangong Yueyue has a bitter face, "Lu Chen, am I going to die?"
"With me, it's hard for you to die. Lu Chen comforted, "You have malaria, just bear with it." ”
"Oh, malaria, that's going to die...... We haven't gotten married yet, so let's get married now......" Nangong Yueyue said.
Lu Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly, "What kind of mess are you thinking, tell you that you can't die, don't worry." ”
"But...... It's so uncomfortable...... It's really uncomfortable......"
"Then why don't you sleep for a while? ”
"It's so uncomfortable, I can't sleep......"
"I'll help you ......" Lu Chen stretched out his hand and put it on Nangong Yueyue's neck and pressed it on the acupuncture point.
Nangong Yueyue only felt extremely sleepy suddenly, let out a meaningless "hum", and then fell asleep.
Lu Chen was still holding her hand and relieving her symptoms with his true qi.
A few hours later, Nangong Yueyue's body temperature finally dropped, her face was pale and frightening, her eyes were closed, and her originally beautiful melon seed face became like an awl.
Lu Chen sighed, brought sugar brine and some juice, woke up Nangong Yueyue, and coaxed her to drink it.
After the onset of malaria, the person would feel very weak, and Nangong Yueyue soon fell asleep again.
Lu Chen called Old Man Xia and asked, "Is there a dock nearby?"
"There's a dock thirty miles to the west...... Old Man Xia lowered his voice, "but that dock belongs to Chasaijiang." ”
"Who is Chasaijiang?"
"He's running by water, transporting goods to the boss on the other side of the mountain. Old man Xia said, "I suggest you don't go there to find a boat, Cha Saijiang is very lustful, your girlfriend is so beautiful, she is a sheep." ”
Lu Chen smiled faintly, "It's okay, I have a lot of status in Huaxia, he doesn't dare to do anything to me." ”
Old man Xia was stunned for a moment, "Hehe" smiled, "I know that you are definitely not ordinary people, and ordinary people will not come here even if they travel." ”。
"Is there a ...... in this village? Ahem, what means of transportation...... Like what...... Ox cart?" Lu Chen wanted to ask if there was a car, but in this broken village, it is estimated that there is not even a walk-behind tractor. Nangong Yueyue is like this now, it is best to rest in bed, after all, it takes thirty miles to get to the dock, even if she carries her, she may not be able to hold it.
"Some ......," Old Man Xia smiled, "My son has a carriage, but don't you take a break before leaving?"
