Chapter 36 plays
I endured the stench on his body, wrapped my hands in plain cloth, opened the whites of his eyes, and then used a wooden spoon to pry open my mouth, endured the breath and the shocking macular teeth, pretended to look at the tongue coating or something, and pinched the so-called pulse.
After a few strokes of the vomit, I briefly analyzed the ingredients. Then he opened his short silence and looked at the red spots on his body, as well as the fragmentary fragments of shrimp and crab shells stained inside.
I breathed a sigh of relief, the epidemic prevention matters in the barefoot doctor's manual and wilderness survival guide were finally not in vain.
"It's not dysentery, it's just that I have a bad stomach"
I nodded slightly, pretending to be deep
"What?"
There was an unconscious, covetous expression around him,
"How do you say it......"
The bow whispered
"Greedy for river fresh, and not cooked thoroughly, in one go, the cold accumulation does not melt, and it will spoil the stomach and ......"
"What about the red spots on my body......
The bow of the ship continued to ask with some concern.
"It's just allergies......"
"What......"
"It's the nature of an undercooked, raw and cold thing......"
"You can go back to his room to see, I guess the shrimp and crab shells you just ate haven't been thrown away......"
The patient's brother's face changed, apparently I had guessed it partially.
"What should I do with ......?"
"Hot Soup ......"
I commanded with great care.
"Add more salt, a little sugar."
I can basically be sure that his miserable appearance is only caused by a large amount of dehydration, the body's electrolyte imbalance or something, in the absence of infusion, he can only rely on salt soup.
"Don't be afraid of him spitting it out, and then pour ...... after spitting"
"One poured into him and he had nothing to vomit, but he pulled it, and his stomach was cleared......"
"If you are not at ease, you can put him in the boat...... Drag it on the stern and keep watching."
"Kindness is also ......"
The black bow finally found an acceptable proposition and clapped its hands.
"Don't do it yet......"
"Blackhead ......"
He pointed to the patient's brother again and said loudly.
"You can stay on the boat and accompany you, and if you want anything, you can send it over......"
"Something else, slowly count it out......"
"Let's get out of the way......"
The next day, I was called again by a knock on the door, only to find that there were quite a few people crowded outside.
"What do you want to do......
I watched a group of them come over and wanted to close the door panel.
"A bunch of clumsy ......"
The sound of the bow of the ship sounded outside.
"It's okay to disturb Xia Langzhong's rest, see how I concoct your ......"
Then I opened the door again and saw a pile of smiling faces, like a blooming chrysanthemum, and a pale man being held aside.
"Well, there's something to say......"
"Thanks to your recipe......"
The bow of the ship said loudly.
It turned out that after pouring a few bowls of salt and sugar water, the waterman woke up, although he was still very weak, but the external symptoms had disappeared, so he was forced by his brother to thank him.
"No thanks, just happen to know a little bit about ......"
I'll be honest, I thought he was going to toss for a few days, but I didn't expect it to be so fast. Are the ancient working people really so hard-working?
"No, no, no......"
The waterman brother named Black-headed was a little clumsy and desperately wanted to thank him, but he couldn't tell that he was ugly, and his face was flushed.
"If you really want to repay it, you can use your fishing skills a little......"
I thought about it.
"It's all ...... said"
The black bow scrambled to answer for him, and then smiled in what he thought was more kind.
"Xia Langzhong, there are still some things that need to be bothered and expensive......"
Then he called the sailors again. Everyone looked at me with some eagerness, which made me a little baffled.
"What else does the bow command......
"Don't call it the bow of the ship, call me old ......"
He waved his hand vigorously
"It's just a cheeky way to take up some more effort and show these brothers on the ship"
It turns out that they have been begging for a long time on the water, and they have some chronic symptoms such as rheumatism or skin diseases, so they took this opportunity to think about me, the doctor who was temporarily boarding, to ask for an idea, to find a peace of mind or something.
Since a suspected epidemic can be avoided, the shipowner has also promised a reward, and the shipowner is happy to use this opportunity to buy people's hearts.
After all, if it is really an epidemic, not to mention that these sailors will flee immediately, I am afraid that the whole ship of people and goods will be delayed.
Of course, I didn't refuse, I just made reasonable requests for some utensils and items, and then pretended to look like these people.
Of course, what I prescribe is mainly some simple methods to alleviate symptoms, health care common sense from modern people's daily life, or simply some kind of old military doctor black clinic-style, fooling people's spiritual placebos, so that they can rely on their physical constitution to resist.
On these five big and three rough sailors who rarely see a doctor and ask for medicine, and rely on their bodies, it has an immediate effect, even if it is not so ideal, it is also because I am on the boat, lack of needle and stone medicine.
So the original drunken old man ship doctor was completely marginalized, and he continued to live a half-drunk and unconsciousnessed life.
Then the next day, the people on the boat, some people also came to see me, of course, most of them were seasickness or symptoms of irregular diet, I used the lack of medicinal materials and utensils as an excuse, to drink some salt water, pretend to be a few acupuncture points or something, plus spiritual comfort, can also alleviate one or two.
Through the contact of guò diagnosis, I also know a little about these people, and I can be regarded as a familiar good fate or something.
I just collected a lot of supplinations and consultation fees, which made me think about it, if there is no money for the thing, should I continue to rely on this identity to continue to cheat for a while?
Not to mention that the fare of the boat was also refunded to me, saying that I would no longer dare to charge any fees, and that the income that was originally carried by us private customers was regarded as a personal benefit acquiesced by the bow of each ship, and then some of it was distributed to the underground boatmen and sailors, which was regarded as an equal benefit. Therefore, it is normal for them to get along with this reason, and of course don't think about the part that the people on the shore have handled.
Then the living conditions were also changed from the bilge, to the more spacious and airy cabin located on the upper deck, close to the stern waterwheel,
There are also preferential treatment in daily diet, such as freshly caught fresh fish and shrimp, I took the opportunity to instruct them on some cooking methods, and things that need to be paid attention to in terms of food hygiene, you can justifiably use the kitchen stove on the ship or something, and give yourself a late-night snack or something in the processing shop.
"Do you still like it......
The sailor named Blackhead brought new bedding and other utensils, and I nodded and withdrew.
He left a small half jar of salted duck eggs as a gratitude, although they are not big, it is said that they are all wild duck eggs that he touched with his own hands.
This is a good thing, portable and shelf-stable in this cold weather, and can also replenish the loss of animal protein and salt, and adjust the taste.
I cooked it directly, then handed it to the head squat, and commanded:
"Eating one a day is good for growing your body"
“?……”
She turned her head to look at me.
"If you want to be a qualified bed warmer, you must at least raise both the top and the bottom......"
"Hmmm......"
She lowered her head and peeled the eggshell.
Biting into the yellow and hard egg yolk, the salty and crispy flavor of the oil is very satisfying.
I also took the opportunity of them taking turns to see the doctor, and I got a little bit of a glimpse of the situation on the ship I was on, which was different from what I expected.
Don't look at the only two or three small fleets of kittens here, but behind it is said to be the union of large inland river shippers, not only has the background of the nobles of the court, but also has a good relationship with several towns and festivals in several river basins, including Jishui.
After all, according to the existence of zài, that is, for the sake of reasonableness.
Although it is said that this is a chaotic era of constant disputes, the military and civilian people in various parts of the world and the sea still have the basic needs of daily eating, drinking, and Lazar, and the officials and generals at all levels also have various needs for enjoyment, and for the overseas feudal clans, there are also interests in opening up trade routes and smuggling.
Therefore, these regional ship merchant guild organizations with corresponding backgrounds and forces operating waterways have a corresponding space for survival and development, and their social relations are quite complex, and they are mostly in an ambiguous and unclear state of detachment between local military towns.
However, due to long-term secession and geographical barriers, the scale is mainly limited to one or between two roads, which can be regarded as a great ship club.
Soon I received a request from the owner to meet and thank me, and I took a small boat and rowed to the second big ship, which was not much different from the others, except for the superstructure above the deck, with half an extra floor, and then the place left was made in the style of a terrace
I was led up the wooden ladder to the top cabin, which occupied almost half of the floor.
Although the appearance is sleek and inconspicuous, as soon as I lift the curtain and enter, I can easily see that this is a beautifully decorated inner room, with painted lacquer wall hangings and carved household utensils and lacquerware, which proves that the owner of the room is a person with a certain taste and corresponding enjoyment.
The water vapor on the red clay stove evaporates a pleasant taste
"This is Xia Langzhong......"
A thin young man with a much fairer face than the others stood up and greeted, a azure embroidered robe that looked a little wide on him.
"This is our Liu Proprietor......"
The bow elder Xu introduced
"Lord Liu is well......"
I made a thousand with a salute
"Obviously still an elegant character......"
"What kind of proprietor, it's just a vulgar person who relies on the remnants of his father's generation and eats on the water......"
He smiled and said,
"These furnishings are just for the convenience of talking about business, and they are just elegant for a while."
A maid walked out of the inner warehouse with her head bowed, washing the cup with light hands and feet, and making tea. Strain the water, and finally poured a cup of tea and put it in front of me, and before I even had time to see my face clearly, I retreated back into the room.
"Domon takes care of it, the boys on the ship......"
Although I know that he is polite, this kind of humility and attitude makes people very comfortable, and I can't help but think a little higher of him, not like the children of ordinary masters.
"It's all my poor supervision that made such a mistake......"
"It's just a coincidence......"
He said a lot, and I had a chance to say a polite word
"If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have known that there was such a character as Lang Zhong on the ship......"
He waved his hand, and the maid held a roll of things again, well, I still haven't seen my face clearly.
"A little personal thought, please smile and accept ......"
A thin blue silk was pushed in front of me, and on top of it were ten large silver treasures.
"Why do you have to do this, it's just a gesture of the meeting......"
I raised my hand and refused
"Don't ...... like that"
He pushed it again
"Why can't I be, being able to solve the rumors of the epidemic has helped me a lot......"
"Please, don't let me break my word and get fat......"
"Besides, Lang Zhong will have to be on the same boat for a few days......"
He took out another name tag and put it on it
"There's still a lot of trouble in the future...... This famous post can be regarded as a good fate"
I was thinking that I should be polite, and that it was time to find a reason to take it.
The hull of the ship shook suddenly, and the tea on the desk suddenly overflowed
"What's wrong......
He said coldly, as if he had changed into a different person.
"The head boat hit something underwater......"
The outside replied.
"What ......?"
"I have already sent people into the water to see ......"
"It's a stake," he said.
"There will be wooden stakes like this, and it will be smooth to walk here the year before last......"
"The wooden heart is still white, and it is a newly buried ......"
"What ......"
There was a chaotic and noisy sound, one after another.
"All those who have free pick up their weapons, prepare to shoot the sticks, and be careful to guard ......"
He ordered immediately, and then sent me off with some apologies.
"Drop the water wheel ......"
Our brief meeting had to be interrupted.
