After more than two hours of tossing, the medical palace finally rested. The copper rod inserted into the body was carefully removed, because the artery was not injured, the blood flow was blocked, and the wound, relying on the alcohol of unknown concentration prepared before, was roughly cleaned, as for the silk sutures, the doctor Yin Yuli found a spirit girl, and she sewed the wound like a dress.

Everything that should be done has been done, whether Cai Bao is dead or alive, only depends on the will of the great priest.

Zhan Li looked at Cai Bao, whose breathing was gradually calming, and the spirit girl also looked at him. Just now, the doctor Yin Yuli was in a hurry, she thought it was the king's repeated illness, who would have thought that it was an irrelevant person. "This person can wake up tomorrow, the elixir is precious, and he will ...... next time"

The spirit girl is a witch, and the witch is different from the witch, in addition to the spirit girl in the exorcism of ghosts and dancing to pretend to be ghosts, more often in the sacrifice with the male ** to attract spirits. The medicine that made Cai Bao forget the pain and was unconscious was the elixir taken by the witch before the spirit was lured, but this time the elixir was given to an ordinary person, so the spirit girl had the meaning of not taking it as an example.

"Don't blame Lijun, His Royal Highness the eldest son wants to create a healing technique, this is a test, and it must be Lijun's elixir." Yan Li didn't dare to look at the front of the spirit girl, only lowered his head to speak, and moved the crown prince out again.

"The elixir is collected from Wushan, it is not easy to come by, and if you use some less, you will not want to help." The spirit girl told the truth. At this time, Xiong Jing, who was serving his father to sleep, had just entered the room, and the atrium was empty, and when he heard the echo, he asked, "Is the elixir produced in Wushan?" ”

"I've seen His Royal Highness the eldest son." Hearing Xiong Jing's voice, she was the first to salute, and the spirit girl took a step slower, and she looked at the approaching crown prince with some curiosity.

Lijun looked at Xiong Jing, and Xiong Jing also looked at her. The light of the candle flame is a little hazy, the spirit girl in the witch robe is tall, the concave and convex are fully revealed, under the night-like robe, the skin is so white and crystal clear, the most memorable thing is the eyes, the autumn waves are like a deep pool, which only makes people want to jump down desperately.

"Li Nu has seen His Royal Highness the eldest son." Xiong Jing's eyes were sucked by the spirit girl, until the spirit girl followed him and called out to him His Royal Highness.

"Ahem......" Xiong Jing's face was hot when he came back to his senses, he had seen several spirit girls when the temple was sacrificed, and he didn't look closely at the time, but now he knows that the spirit girl is so seductive. How is Cai Bao? It took him a lot of effort to ask Cai Bao.

"Your Highness, the wound has been cleaned and stitched, but I don't know what ...... afterward" replied casually, seriously.

"I don't know." Cai Bao lay flat on the couch, breathing steadily. Xiong Jing's heart was also settled, this was a loyal guard who was injured for him and his life and death were uncertain. "I am most worried about infection after surgery, and once I get infected, I ......"

In the era when there were no antibiotics, it was not difficult to treat wounds, but it was difficult to prevent postoperative infection. Penicillin is impossible, not to mention how to extract, that is, to know how to extract, before the production of bacteria increases, a year's production of penicillin can not cure a patient.

"The elixir is only produced in Wushan?" Put the antibiotics aside, Xiong Jing asked about the elixir, and he was very curious about it.

"Yes, Your Highness. There may be other places, but it is not as good as Wushan. The spirit girl replied, hanging her head and not daring to look at Xiong Jing again. However, the more respectful she was, the more it tickled Xiong Jing's heart. What kind of spirit girl is this, this is clearly the demon king's bewitching maid, and she is not tempting to commit crimes anywhere on her body. When you grow up, you have to be tried well. Xiong Jing thought.

“…… What is it? Xiong Jing's dry throat spat out this sentence, and the words did not reach the meaning. He immediately corrected, "What is the elixir?" ”

"Your Highness, this is the elixir." The spirit girl's jade hand burrowed into her arms, and then stretched out in front of Xiong Jing.

"This is the elixir?" On the jade palm is a red mushroom, red and bewitching.

"Exactly. The elixir is collected from Wushan and can only be taken after being made secretly. Xiong Jing saw it, and the jade hand went deep into his arms.

"It seems that it can only be used in small quantities." The mountains on the spirit girl's body were undulating, and Xiong Jing used a lot of strength to look away. "Leave and catch some flies tomorrow. Remember, as long as the green one. ”

"Flies?" The spirit girl was originally a witch who lured the gods and ghosts to go down to the earth to sacrifice, with a charming appearance and detailed manners, and she was very worried that the crown prince would be charmed by it, but the crown prince's order was too unexpected. catch flies,

What do you do when you catch flies? "Dare to ask Your Highness, what is the so-called thing to catch flies? Flies are filth. ”

"Heal the wounds." Xiong Jing originally wanted to talk about preventing postoperative infection, but he was worried that he would not understand, so he could only generalize.

"Flies can heal?" He still couldn't believe it, but the effect of willow bark sap reminded him that what the crown prince said was true.

"Yes." Xiong Jing nodded. He didn't want flies, but mercerized green fly larvae, or maggots.

Worms have been used in human medicine for a long time, starting with leeches, which were commonly used by the ancient Egyptians to suck away the 'bad blood' of the wounded. Maggots came later, using maggots to remove carrion from edible meat on ships during the Age of Discovery, and began to be used in the treatment of gunshot wounds during the Napoleonic period, because of the advent of penicillin, this mature treatment was temporarily abandoned until resistance to the germ appeared.

If Cai Bao is infected after surgery, only maggot therapy can save it. However, maggot treatment did not happen overnight, and it took hundreds of years for humans to discover that only the green silk fly only eats carrion, not good meat. The green silk fly is a large green-headed fly, which is not difficult to find. The real challenge is infection – no matter what kind of fly it is, it carries a myriad of germs, and how to get rid of these germs is the key to maggot treatment. Xiong Jing didn't know how to do it in medicine in later generations, he could only try, after all, the direction was right.

"Your Highness, the spirit girl retires." Seeing that the crown prince and the doctor Yin were discussing business, the spirit girl wrapped her witch robe tightly and bowed to Xiong Jing.

"Stand down." Xiong Jing swept her away with a word, his neck stiff as rusty.

"Dare to ask Your Highness, flies can be caught, but how to treat injuries?" Zhan Li didn't look at the spirit girl, only asked to heal the injury.

"Flies lay eggs, oviparous larvae, and larvae eat carrion, guaiaiac." Xiong Jing explained, after all, he is a witch doctor, and although he doesn't understand some things, fortunately, there are no taboos. "As I said last time, everything has bacteria, flies and filthy things, and there are tens of thousands of germs on the body. Before treatment, be sure to remove fly bacteria. ”

When it comes to bacteria, Xiong Jing thinks of microscopes, and when he thinks of microscopes, he mutters glass. Because the charcoal fire temperature is not enough, the glass manufacturing level of Chu is low, and the price of glass - the idiom to buy the beads of the pearl is actually glass beads, which has always been in gold. Xiong Jing didn't care how much glass was worth, he just wanted to build a microscope as soon as possible. The sooner you build a microscope, the sooner the maggot treatment will be successful. Today is Cai Bao's injury, what if it is himself?

"The fly larvae that Your Highness spoke of, but... But maggots? Zhan Li finally understood, a little dumbfounded.

"Exactly." Xiong Jing looked at him, "Are you afraid?" ”

"The minister is not afraid." Yu Li hurriedly shook his head. "But if the injured person is afraid and does not want to use maggots to cure the wounds, what can I do?"

"Then you say...... It is said that this insect has been sacrificed to the great priest, and it is subject to the divine will of the great priest. "Xiong Jing had come up with an excuse beforehand.
