Chapter 412: Find a different way to promote medical skills
After Chen Mu returned to the thatched hut, he was about to take a nap, but before he fell asleep, Nakun got up and went out for a while, when Chen Mu was in a daze, he returned to the thatched hut again, hummed and whispered*, and after a short time, he ran out again.
After tossing and turning like this for a long time, when Chen Mu woke up, he saw that Nakun's whole person was very weak, his face was as pale as paper, his cheekbones were towering, and his sweat was like rain.
"Nakun, what's wrong with you?"
"I ...... I'm fine......"
Na Kun suddenly became nervous, stood up and was about to walk out, but his legs couldn't help swinging, and Chen Mu hurriedly pulled him back.
"Sit down, I'll take your pulse."
Chen Mu had earlier learned the art of Qihuang with Lu Shengwu, and had to teach Western medicine in Prussia, and then got along with Huang Feihong for a while.
The person who practices martial arts is half of Langzhong, not to mention that Chen Mu still follows Lu Shengwu to cultivate, and he does not dare to say that he is proficient in medical science and pharmacology, but he also knows a little bit about it.
Nakun suddenly withdrew his hand and refused in a panic: "I'm really fine!" I'll go out first! ”
This is clearly a lie, how can Chen Mu not see it.
"Nakun, you can't trust me?" Chen Mu wanted to let him go, but he couldn't help but ask.
He is a newcomer to the camp, Na Kun believes that he is normal, Chen Mu just asked casually, but Na Kun hesitated for a long time, looked around, and finally shrank back into the grass hut.
Na Kun covered his stomach, frowned, and said to Chen Mu, "Little brother...... I'm afraid I'm going to die soon......"
"I've got a damn stomach ache and I'm going to live in a few days......"
"Stomach pain?" Chen Mu was not too surprised, after all, they ate raw food every day, and it was normal for them to have stomach pain.
"Yes, I've heard from other people in the hut that the most common thing here is a stomachache, once it happens, not only will it die, but it will also spread to the people in the same house, and even to the whole camp, if the guards find out, I will be thrown into the sea immediately!"
Chen Mu suddenly suddenly, no wonder he would hide it.
The sanitary environment in this camp was already extremely poor, and the slaves could only feed their hunger with fish every day, and they were prone to stagnation, that is, dysentery.
This thing is contagious, and in order to prevent the spread of the epidemic, the guards will inevitably throw the sick person into the sea, otherwise the entire camp will be swallowed up by the epidemic!
As for dysentery, Chen Mu had only heard of it, and some of the prescriptions had only been briefly mentioned by Lu Shengwu, and he couldn't remember all the prescriptions.
Although this island is covered with lush vegetation, there may not be fresh herbs, and even if there are, Chen Mu may not be able to collect them all, so it is not important that the recipes are incomplete.
"Nakun, if you can trust me, I won't watch you being thrown into the sea, I'll go out and find medicine for you."
Chen Mu said so, stood up and was about to go out, but this time it was Nakun's turn to pull Chen Mu.
"Little brother, don't toss, I'...... I can't do it anymore, I just want to live for half a day, and I'll find a place to die by myself......"
"I know that there is no cure for this disease, and even if the guards don't throw me into the sea, I can't stay, and harm the brothers in the house, and even the other people in the hut......"
"Besides, the guards are afraid that we will use poison, and the herbs on this island have long been eradicated by them, without herbs, where is there a way to live?"
Such words also sound sad, but it can be seen that Na Kun is a very kind person, he would rather die by himself than infect others, and this alone is enough for Chen Mu to help him.
"Nakun, have you heard of Huang Feihong, the lion king of Guangzhou?"
Chen Mu asked a little inexplicably, but Na Kun's eyes lit up: "Although I am a Malaya, Grandmaster Huang is famous, how can we who run goods at sea all year round not hear of it!" ”
Originally, he felt that he couldn't convince Na Kun, but hearing this, Chen Mu was relieved.
"Nakun, I won't hide it from you, I have a good relationship with Huang Feihong, and I also learned a little bit of medical skills from him, although I don't dare to say that the medicine will cure the disease, but if you believe me, then let's give it a try, it's better than hiding and waiting for death."
Na Kun's hands trembled, he suddenly knelt down, and solemnly kowtowed to Chen Mu: "No matter whether you succeed or fail, thank Chen Ye for saving his life!" ”
From the talented little brother to the current Chen Ye, just the change in title has already shown how big Huang Feihong's name is.
Chen Mu helped him up: "I'm not too sure, just do my best." ”
Chen Mu didn't mean to be modest, and Shicai Nakun also revealed a piece of information, the herbs on the island have been eradicated by the guards, and there is no medicine, no matter how clever the medical skills are, it is useless.
However, it is not a dead end, if it is replaced by other diseases, it may be difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and Chen Mu can only be helpless, but dysentery is different.
Although Fang Zi didn't remember it very completely, Chen Mu remembered a few herbs, and there was no way to collect them like Huanglian and Cork, but there was one thing on this island that even the guards ignored, and that was betel nut!
This betel nut is also called big belly, insecticidal and depletion, reducing qi and stagnation, water and dampness, often used to treat various parasitic infections and dysentery such stagnation!
People in coastal areas, especially in Hainan and other places, have the habit of chewing betel nut, but they use raw betel nut, after a long time of soaking, and then use smoking and other methods, and then add various condiments, it has become a kind of snack that everyone loves.
This betel nut is not eaten by everyone, let alone unconcocted raw betel nut.
Raw betel nut is easy to pick and can be found everywhere on the island, Chen Mu quickly found the raw materials, but Chen Mu also spent a lot of effort on how to concoct them.
Although the Chinese herbs on this island have been eradicated, there are still plants such as leaves.
Chen Mu picked up some small shells, grinded out shell powder, sprinkled them on the cut raw betel nut, wrapped them in leaves, and then chewed them for Nakun, but he didn't expect to receive miraculous results!
After chewing the betel nut, Nakun's face turned red, and the whole person became excited, sweeping away the malaise and sickness of the past!
This thing can be seen everywhere, and the way to eat it is simple, Nakun can get it to eat by himself, and it has only been a few days, not to mention that dysentery has been cured, but it is addictive!
Chen Mu wanted to remind him not to eat too much, but the raw food that everyone on the island eats, there are no green vegetables to supplement, Nakun passed it on to the mute brothers in the grass hut, and then passed it on to other people in the grass hut, in the past seven or eight days, everyone has fallen in love with this kind of thing, and even the guards can't help but try it!
Maybe some people have eaten betel nut, but they have never thought of eating raw betel nut, Chen Mu's method is simple and easy to obtain, which has caused a trend.
And when I heard that this thing could cure stomach pain, the slaves flocked to it, and it did save many people's lives.
For Chen Mu, this can be regarded as an unexpected joy, it has only been a few days, and those who are not feeling well will come to Nakun's thatched hut to beg Chen Mu for help.
Even some guards who had an unsightly problem would secretly come to Chen Mu to help them take a look.
After all, this island is far away from the mainland, and the doctor is a noble person, so he will never come to this kind of place to suffer, so Chen Mu's name has been established.
It's just that Chen Mu knows very well in his heart that he is not here to brush up his reputation and pull the team, he wants to find an opportunity to get close to Pu Ye and force him to ask for the traces of Master Tan from his mouth, this is the right thing!
I don't know how many islands there are, and even if he overthrows the island and saves the slaves, many more people will suffer.
Only by killing Master Tan and bringing down the shipping company can this road be completely broken, which is the real task.
Of course, if he could save as many slaves as possible in this process, Chen Mu would not be able to die without saving him.
For killers, keeping a low profile and mystery is the number one factor, unless you want to go off the beaten path and hide in the city.
Chen Mu didn't want to expose himself, but now he got an unexpected gain and found a way that might be able to get close to Pu Ye.
Because Pu Ye is also from this island, since he is a human, he will get sick, maybe he heard about Chen Mu, so he took the initiative to find Chen Mu!
Chen Mu didn't have much confidence originally, but after thinking about it, Nakun said that the guards were afraid that someone would poison them, so they shoveled all the herbs on the island.
If there was Langzhong on the island, they would inevitably leave the herbs for later use, but they didn't leave the herbs, which means that there are no doctors on the island!
Moreover, Chen Mu walked around the island, saying that he would shovel all the herbs, but in fact it was not, because these guards also had extremely limited knowledge of herbs, and some herbs that looked like weeds and were everywhere would be retained as weeds.
Some of them, although scarce but not medicinous, were pulled out by them, which also shows their lack of knowledge of herbal medicine.
After all, none of these people have read any books, and they can only rely on common sense to act, which also gives Chen Mu an excellent opportunity, he believes that Pu Ye will definitely come to the door!
Of course, the premise is that his reputation is loud enough for Pu Ye to believe in his medical skills.
In order to achieve this goal, Chen Mu spared no effort to heal the slaves, even if they were guards, he never refused, after all, the reputation of the slaves, although they could also reach Pu Ye's ears, would never be as fast as the guards.
Sure enough, after more than half a month, a decent team of guards finally came, and they wanted to take Chen Mu to the mountain!
The guards, in terms of equipment and physical and mental state, were not comparable to those guards on the coast and in the camp.
Instead of inferior beak guns, they were armed with American-made bolt rifles, and instead of being barefoot, they wore high-top leather boots and small white round helmets on their heads!
"You're lucky, Master Pu wants to see you."
The captain of the guard at the head looked arrogant, and still did not treat Chen Mu as a human being, but Chen Mu did not agree immediately, but still treated the rotten sores on the feet of a slave, and responded without raising his head.
"If I'm lucky, I'm not going to be thrown on this damn island, and I'm either sold or killed, and I don't end well, do you think I'll care?"
The captain's face suddenly became gloomy: "So, you don't know how to lift, do you?" ”
Chen Mu is not timid: "The doctor is benevolent, in my eyes, there is no distinction between high and low patients, and there are no good people or bad people, whether they want to see a doctor or kill someone, just come to me, there is no good scenery on the mountain, forgive me for not accompanying me!" ”
