"Malaria...... Malaria! I saw the doctor in the walled city fall backwards to the ground, and at the same time screamed in shock, because he was so nervous, even his voice changed, and his whole body trembled like a sieve. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Malaria?" Li Xiu couldn't help but glance at the corpse in front of him in surprise when he heard the name of this disease, and then turned to the doctor and asked, "Doctor, how did you tell that he died of malaria?" ”

"Look...... Look at his mouth and nose, those herpes are the most obvious feature of malaria! Although this doctor was not lightly frightened, it may be that seeing Li Xiu so calm, he also recovered a little at this time, and said in a trembling voice again.

Li Xiu turned his head to look at it again when he heard this, and sure enough, he found that the mouth and nose of this corpse were full of herpes, some of which had ruptured and leaked pus, and it looked very disgusting, but this was indeed one of the external manifestations of malaria, Li Xiu seemed to have heard Sun Simiao say, but he was only two knives in medical skills, not to mention compared with Sun Simiao, even the walled city doctor behind him who was trembling with fright was stronger than him.

"Brother Li, come with me, let's leave here tonight!" Zhang Shiyi also came over at this time, pulling Li Xiu to leave here, malaria is also a kind of plague, especially in the humid and hot climate of the south, it is very fatal, although malaria does not necessarily die, but the mortality rate is still not low, so he doesn't want Li Xiu to stay here and take risks, otherwise if something happens, he can't go back and confess.

"Haha~, don't worry, brother eleven, if it's another disease, I may still be a little worried, but malaria is different, this disease is transmitted through mosquito bites, now you just need to burn the corpse, and then light wormwood to repel mosquitoes, and even if someone really has malaria, I have a way to treat it!" Li Xiu laughed indifferently at this time.

Malaria was indeed a terrible plague in ancient times, even in later generations, hundreds of thousands of people died of malaria every year in Africa with poor medical conditions, and some people even calculated that every minute, one person died of malaria in Africa.

However, in the Central Plains in later generations, malaria was almost extinct, and there was a malaria-related thing at that time, that is, the first Nobel Prize in medicine won by the Chinese, that is, artemisinin discovered by Tu Youyou, which caused a great sensation in China at that time, Li Xiu also heard about malaria from this news, and was forced to popularize it, so as to understand some of the pathogenesis of malaria, and artemisinin is the nemesis of malaria.

"It's really fake, Brother Li, can you cure malaria?" Zhang Shiyi couldn't help but be shocked when he heard Li Xiu's words, and asked rhetorically, although he knew that Li Xiu's medical skills were amazing, he still couldn't believe it for a while.

"Haha~, since I can prevent smallpox, why can't I treat malaria?" At this time, Li Xiu showed a confident expression and said, in order to make Zhang Shiyi believe, he also had to make such an expression.

Seeing Li Xiu's confident appearance, Zhang Shiyi finally dispelled the doubts in his heart, especially thinking that the plague was so fierce as smallpox, and Li Xiu had found a way to prevent it, so it seemed that it was really not strange to be able to treat malaria.

Thinking of the above, Zhang Shiyi slapped his thigh and said: "Great, I almost forgot that Brother Li you have such a ability, with your above words, I will be relieved!" ”

When Zhang Shiyi said the end, he couldn't help but sigh out, after all, this stronghold also cost him a lot of manpower and material resources, if he really gave up because of a malaria, he would also feel distressed, and now that Li Xiu can cure malaria, he can finally rest assured.

With Zhang Shiyi's order, someone immediately poured fire oil on the corpse, and then burned it, and Li Xiu took Zhang Shiyi around the walled city, and after a while, he picked a large bundle of herbs in his hand, but at this time Zhang Shiyi was a little surprised and said: "Brother Li, what are you doing with these artemisia grass?" ”

"This is called Artemisia annua, and if you want to treat malaria, you have to rely on this herb!" Li Xiu introduced with a smile at this time, Artemisia grass is also divided into many species, but what can really treat malaria is this kind of Artemisia annua, the smell of this Artemisia grass is very special, it can be seen everywhere on the roadside in the mountains, in the previous life Li Xiu When he was a child, he often pulled a lot of this artemisia grass in the summer and put it beside him, which is said to repel mosquitoes, until he grew up, he didn't know that the famous artemisinin came from this artemisia grass used to repel mosquitoes in his childhood.

"You can't be mistaken, can you be that this ubiquitous artemisia grass can cure malaria?" Zhang Shiyi heard Li Xiu's words but was a little skeptical again, because the artemisia grass that Li Xiu called Artemisia annua was too common, whether it was in the south or the north, it could be seen almost everywhere on the roadside of the field, and no one even thought that it could be used as medicine, but it was just regarded as a weed, but now Li Xiu actually said that it could treat the famous malaria, which made Zhang Shiyi naturally a little unbelievable.

"Brother Eleven doesn't have to doubt it, in fact, those natives outside are very stupid, and they don't know that malaria is transmitted by mosquitoes, so the corpses they threw in are useless, but there are many mosquitoes here, and no one dares to guarantee that they have not been bitten by mosquitoes, so we also have to be careful, and let people drink a glass of this artemisia grass juice every day in the future, so as not to really contract malaria!"

After Li Xiu finished speaking, he took Zhang Shiyi to the doctor just now, and then borrowed the other party's pestle tool to beat the artemisia grass, plus soaked in water for a while, artemisinin is more afraid of heat, so it must not be heated, let alone boiled as hard as boiling medicine, which is also the reason why it is recorded in later generations of Chinese medicine that Artemisia annua can cure malaria, but many people find that it has no effect after experimenting, because many of them boil Artemisia annua as an ordinary herb.

"Come, try this, and make sure that even if you have malaria, you can be cured!" Li Xiu poured this dark green grass juice into a bowl, and then pushed it directly in front of Zhang Shiyi and said, the smell of yellow artemisia is special, it is not fragrant, it is not smelly, it can only be said that it is very strange, and it smells so that people don't want to get close, let alone drink it.

"Why don't you try the medicine you made first?" Zhang Shiyi was also very resistant at this time, he didn't like the smell of yellow artemisia very much, so he naturally didn't dare to put his mouth down.

"This ...... Master, you said that this bowl of medicinal juice can cure malaria? At this moment, I saw that the walled doctor suddenly asked with some doubts, Li Xiu's identity is confidential, and no one knows except Zhang Shiyi, so he didn't know what to call Li Xiu for a while, and finally he could only be called "master", anyway, he usually called Zhang Shiyi like this.

"Of course, the juice of this daywormwood is very effective against malaria!" Li Xiu said with great certainty.

"I wonder if the villain can taste it on behalf of the master?" The doctor's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he took the initiative to speak.

"Great, Mr. Huang, since you are interested, I will bother you!" Without waiting for Li Xiu to speak, Zhang Shiyi rushed to send the bowl containing the medicinal juice to the other party, and then Li Xiu knew that the doctor's surname was Huang.

This Mr. Huang was not polite to Zhang Shiyi, he directly picked up the bowl and tasted it, and found that although the taste was very strange, it was not unpalatable, and it didn't taste like it was poisonous, so he drank it all, tasted it for a while, and then spoke again: "It was recorded in the Shennong Baicao Sutra that Artemisia annua can treat malaria, but after many people's verification, it was found that Artemisia annua has no effect on malaria. ”

Li Xiu was also a little surprised when he heard this Mr. Huang's words, he knew that Chinese medicine had recorded the treatment of malaria by Artemisia annua, but he thought it was after the Song Dynasty, after all, the most prosperous period of Chinese medicine was in the Song Dynasty, but he didn't expect that in the Tang Dynasty, the doctors of this era already knew that Artemisia annua could treat malaria.

In fact, what Li Xiu didn't know was that "Shennong Baicaojing" was a medical book that had been completed in the Han Dynasty, and it had been recorded that Artemisia annua could treat malaria at that time, but the ancients had a very vague classification of plants, no matter what kind of Artemisia grass, it was called Artemisia annua, but Artemisia annua, which was often used in medicine, was Artemisia annua, not the really effective Artemisia annua, so many doctors had doubts about the records of Artemisia annua for treating malaria.

"Whether Artemisia annua can really cure malaria, Mr. Huang can find a patient to try, but I am worried that since the natives outside the walled city are infected with malaria, it is likely to spread to the walled city in the future, so I think that everyone in the walled city can drink this medicinal juice, at least it can be prevented in advance!" Li Xiu opened his mouth at this time and proposed that Mr. Huang was the only doctor in the walled city, and his words were more useful than Zhang Shiyi in this regard, so Li Xiu wanted to convince him first.

"This ...... I'll give it a try, but most of the people in the walled city are unruly, and they don't necessarily listen to me, and the taste of this potion is a bit strange, and I can't guarantee that drinking it when I'm not sick will have any bad effects, so I'm afraid there aren't many people willing to drink it. When Mr. Huang said the end, he couldn't help but look at Zhang Shiyi, with his thoughts, it would be better to simply let Zhang Shiyi directly order everyone in the city to drink this medicinal juice, so that it would be much simpler.

"These guys in the walled city are all bold guys, who don't shed tears when they don't see the coffin, even if I give an order, it is inevitable that someone will quietly pour out the medicinal juice, after all, I can't personally stare at them to drink the medicine, so I think it's better to make a bucket of medicinal juice, and everyone will drink it voluntarily, anyway, Brother Li, you also said it, even if you have malaria in the future, this medicine can be cured, but it will make people suffer a little." Zhang Shiyi spoke again at this time.

Hearing Zhang Shiyi's words, Li Xiu also felt reasonable, and nodded in agreement at the moment, that night, there was a large vat at the intersection of the center of the walled city, which was filled with medicinal juice for people to drink at will, and a few days later, the effect of this medicinal juice finally appeared, and at the same time, Zhang Shiyi had a new idea.
