Chapter XXVIII
It was late at night when Mu Chenghu and his party arrived at the top of the mountain, so Mu Chenghu arranged for everyone to rest on the spot.
After everyone had fallen asleep, Mu Chenghu quietly called Liu Wu and Mu Yao, and came to the bushes in the distance by moonlight.
"Asu, Yaoyao, you two give me a sentry, I'll go in and find out if there is any record of preventing the plague." Mu Chenghu whispered to the two.
"Dad, can you find it? Medicine is so backward in this era. Mu Yao said with some disbelief.
"I don't know, but I'll just want to find out." Mu Chenghu said uncertainly.
Seeing this, Mu Yao didn't say anything anymore, turned around and put the whistle seriously.
About an hour later, Mu Chenghu woke up with three books.
"Dad, you found it?" Mu Yao said with some excitement.
"I don't have time to read them carefully, I just found a few medical books, and I took these books back to the big guy to read together." Mu Chenghu shook his head.
"You also have to be prepared, after all, it's unlikely to be found." Liu Wu said.
Early the next morning, Mu Chenghu arranged for everyone to set up a tent, and he took out a few books on medicine that he hadn't taken out last night from the bookshelf while everyone was not paying attention.
At noon, everyone finally had a long-lost hot meal again.
After the meal, Mu Chenghu took out a few medical books and handed them to Mu Qingliu, Mu Chengru, Mu Chengde, Mu Qing, and Qiucheng, and asked a few people to find out if there was any record of the plague.
Mu Qingliu looked at the medical books and asked a little excitedly, "Chenghu, you have so many medical books there?" ”
"I never paid attention to the one left by the ancestor before, and I wouldn't have remembered it if it weren't for this plague." Mu Chenghu thought to himself, I really didn't lie this time.
Mu Chengru smiled and said, "Third child, the ancestor is really partial to you, and left these good books to you." ”
"Second brother, it's not like this, what the ancestor left you are books on what kind of world classics and other official ways, and what I left for me are these miscellaneous books." Mu Chenghu remembered that the elders in the village had said that his second brother was the most suitable for being an official, so he spoke.
Mu Chengru listened, and then stopped talking.
Seeing this, Mu Chenghu said that I really got it right, but I don't know what book the ancestor left for the eldest brother?
Two days later, everyone searched through all the books and found nothing about the plague, and for a moment several people were in a bad mood.
Mu Yao was dividing the bamboo in half with the half-grown children, and bringing water from the creek not far away into the camp. Suddenly, I heard Xiaoshi shouting, "Sister, sister, come here." ”
Mu Yao thought that the little stone was injured, so she threw everyone down and ran towards the small stone.
Mu Yao ran over and asked anxiously, "Little stone, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Sister, come and see if this is the record of the plague that my uncle and they are looking for." The little stone pointed to a place in the book.
It turned out that Xiao Shi saw that everyone was busy, but he couldn't do anything, and when he saw that his uncle was looking for a record related to the plague, he picked up a book that no one cared about next to him and looked for it.
Mu Yao picked up the book and looked at it, so excited that she picked up the small stone and kissed him on the face.
"Sister, how can you kiss me, I'm a little man." Little Stone puffed out his cheeks and said.
Mu Yao looked at Xiao Shi's cute appearance and said a little funny, "Okay, my sister won't kiss you in the future, our little man." ”
Mu Yao held the book and found a few people who were sitting on the ground and had nothing to love.
"Dad, the account you were looking for about the plague has been found." Mu Yao shook the book in his hand at a few people.
Seeing this, several people stood up from the ground.
Mu Qingliu excitedly took the book and read it seriously.
After half the salary, Mu Qingliu excitedly shouted, "Everyone is saved, everyone is saved." ”
When the people in the camp heard the news, they quickly surrounded Mu Chenghu and the others.
"Third uncle, can you tell us what to do first?" Mu Chenghu asked with some excitement.
Mu Qingliu slowed down before saying, "There is no talk of how to solve the plague. ”
When they heard this, they were discouraged.
"Listen to me first, although there is no medicine to cure it, there is a medicine that can prevent the plague, and this medicine is everywhere." Mu Qingliu hurriedly added.
When everyone heard this, they were instantly excited.
"Uncle San, you are too powerful." Mu Ergou praised sincerely.
As soon as Mu Ergou's words were finished, Mu Qingliu pointed at Mu Yao and said, "This method was found by Yaoyao." ”
When Mu Yao heard this, she quickly denied it, "It's not me, it was Xiaoshi who found it, and he asked me to tell my father and them the news." ”
Everyone didn't believe it when they heard it, after all, the little stone was so small, and everyone didn't believe that he could read.
"Actually, Xiao Shi doesn't know many words, but he happens to know the word plague, and when he saw these two words, he called me over, and everyone who was there just now knew about it." Mu Yao saw that everyone didn't believe it, so she opened her mouth and said the truth of the matter.
A few half-grown children next to him nodded, indicating that this was indeed the case.
"Little stone, that's amazing." Mu Chenghu praised without hesitation.
The crowd took turns praising the little stone.
Mu Qingliu saw that everyone finally quieted down, so he said: "This kind of medicine is all over the mountain, you can take a few people and I will cut some back in a while." ”
In the evening, Mu Qingliu arranged for everyone to put Artemisia annua into boiling water and boil it, so that everyone could drink a big bowl, and let everyone take a bath with Artemisia annua boiling water every day.
After dinner, Mu Yao sat by the fire and asked curiously, "Dad, how many of you haven't found it for two days, why did you let Xiaoshi find it?" ”
Mu Chenghu smiled and said, "How could I think of the relevant records of the plague, it will be in the medical miscellaneous. I tossed the book aside from the beginning. ”
"Haha, if it weren't for Xiaoshi, everyone would still be panicked by the plague by now." Mu Yao smiled a little unkindly.
"Do you say that Artemisia annua is the Artemisia annua that extracts artemisinin?" Liu Wu asked suddenly.
"I don't know, maybe I am! None of us studied medicine, who knows? Mu Chenghu said with some nostalgia.
The mother and daughter were silent after hearing this.
"Chenghu, can you lend me these medical books?" Mu Qingliu's arrival broke the silence of Mu Chenghu's family of three.
"Uncle San, if you like it, take it! It's a waste of these books to put in my place. Mu Chenghu said sincerely.
"That's not good, books are never passed on." Mu Qingliu hurriedly refused.
"Uncle San, it's not called a biography in your place, and it doesn't matter if it's passed on, books are something for others to learn, and if you don't learn it, you can't reflect its value." Mu Chenghu explained seriously.
Mu Qingliu saw that Mu Chenghu's expression didn't seem to be fake, so he said, "Okay, when I have the opportunity in the future, I will copy a copy by hand and return the book to you." ”
Mu Chenghu saw that he couldn't convince Mu Qingliu, so he had to give up.
