Chapter 2 Cause of Death

"Hello! Hello! Frank sneezed with a bitter face, and rubbed his body over and over again as his master commanded, until his skin was red and his tattered sackcloth shirt was washed, and he was allowed to go ashore again.

When he came ashore, except for his wet hair and beard, which still looked like a vagabond, the smell of salted sweat on Frank's body was gone. It's just that his face is blue and white, a bit like a dead person, and his whole body is still shivering, and he has a virtue that is about to faint.

Qin Lun raised his eyebrows a little unexpectedly, although it was night, the season was not a cold winter. He had also gone down the creek and did not feel very cold, and although Frank was a little disabled, he was usually used to doing coolies, so his body should not be so bad.

"Ahem......" Frank covered his mouth and coughed violently under the attack of the icy stream. An abnormal blush appeared on his face.

Qin Lun's pupils shrank, and although Frank quickly put his hands behind his back, through the moonlight, he could already see the blood that appeared between the hunchbacked servant's fingers.

Qin Lun stepped forward with an arrow step, grabbed Frank's right wrist, and felt his pulse. Frank struggled a few times, but when he saw his master's stern eyes, he shrunk his neck and fell silent.

Letting go of Frank's wrist, Qin Lun frowned slightly, the hunchbacked servant's pulse was extremely weak, if there was nothing, it was almost a dying appearance. But in Wellington's remaining memories, Frank has always been the impression of a monster with infinite strength.

Looking at Frank's miserable appearance, Qin Lun's heart moved slightly, even if Wellington rarely cared about this loyal servant in the past, but as a doctor, the servant's physical condition should attract his attention. It seems that Frank's current physical changes should have appeared after Wellington's death.

Qin Lun closed his eyes and searched for relevant clues in Wellington's remaining memories. After a while, he reopened his eyes, and in Wellington's memory, there was indeed no clue to Frank's physical condition, but Qin Lun found the cause of Wellington's death.

As a young doctor without an official license, Wellington was rarely frequented by patients in normal times. In recent times, however, there has been an exception. In a few small towns near Wellington's residence, a severe disease spreads, and many poor people in the town look down on regular doctors and have to seek treatment from the inexperienced Wellington.

However, it is clear that Wellington's lame medical skills not only failed to cure these patients, but also infected himself with the disease, and finally braided his hair. Frank had little contact with patients, and his condition was probably contracted while caring for Wellington.

Recalling this epidemic, a cautious expression appeared on Qin Lun's face. The disease has a very high mortality rate and a very rapid onset of disease. The patient has a high fever on the first day, coughs up blood on the second day, and there is no abnormality on the surface of the body, but the internal organs have begun to decay, and he will die directly on the third day.

Qin Lun is definitely at the level of a medical doctor based on the medical knowledge he has read. However, the books he reads are all on Earth, and in this strange world, it is impossible to determine the type of disease and the treatment plan.

In Wellington's memory, it seems that this is not the first time that the epidemic has appeared in the town, it has been circulated before, it tends to appear and disappear quickly, and it is not as contagious as it is now.

From Wellington's death to today, it's the third day! Frank has been able to survive until now and only coughing up blood, which shows that his physique is indeed much stronger than normal.

On the other hand...... A trace of weirdness appeared on Qin Lun's face, I am afraid that this also has the effect of those medical alcohols. The concentration of medical alcohol should drop to below 75%, but it tastes at least above 40%. This concentration just happened to have a disinfecting effect, delaying the onset of the disease in Frank's body.

As for why this ignorant hunchback guy was not poisoned by medical alcohol, Qin Lun guessed that either this kind of medical alcohol was not qualified, or Frank's stomach had been tested for a long time and exercised.

If you don't save him, I'm afraid Frank won't survive for two days! Qin Lun hesitated for a moment, and then immediately made a decision. In any case, he needs a helper now, and Frank, a loyal servant, is the best candidate at the moment.

Qin Lun turned the wine jug upside down, ignoring the hunchbacked servant's resentful eyes, poured the alcohol mixed with water, went to the stream to wash it, and poured a little stream water into it. Then, he took out the crystal bottle containing the "World Tree Flower Dew" from his arms, pinched the cork, and gently dripped a drop of flower dew into it.

"Drink it and don't leave it behind!" Qin Lun handed the wine jug back to the servant and ordered with a calm face.

"Oh...... It smells so good! Frank sniffed the garlic to the spout of the jug, and drank the "World Tree Dew" diluted with stream water.

"How do you feel?" Qin Lun looked at the hunchbacked servant with burning eyes, and was very interested in the effect of the "World Tree Flower Dew".

"I don't feel anything...... Wow~~" Frank smacked his mouth unsatisfied, and as soon as he was halfway through a sentence, his face changed greatly, his throat shook, his cheeks bulged, and he leaned over and vomited.

"Gollum, Gollum!" The hunchbacked ugly man not only vomited on it, but even his abdomen seemed to have an adverse reaction, and he immediately ran to the grass by the stream with his stomach in his hands. As an adult, even if he no longer cares about his image, he doesn't want to take off his pants directly in front of Qin Lun.

"This reaction seems to be a bit intense!" Qin Lun muttered to himself, glanced down at Frank's vomit, and immediately frowned again, "It doesn't look like a parasite, this epidemic ......"

The pile of filthy vomit was mixed with a lot of blood, and the most bizarre thing was that some dark green jelly-like unknown substances in it were squirming slightly, looking like small clumps of slimes.

"Young Master, what are you giving me to drink?"

Half an hour later, Frank walked out of the woods with vague steps, and this time his face was as white as a dead man.

"How are you feeling?" Qin Lun took Frank's wrist again. The hunchbacked servant's pulse was still a little weak, but it was much more stable than before.

"I don't have any strength in my body, but I seem to be much more relaxed in my body." Frank replied weakly, "Young Master, your medicine is too strong!" ”

Qin Lun nodded noncommittally, it stands to reason that the "World Tree Flower Dew" is a plant life essence, and after being taken by the human body, it should slowly enhance the body's recovery and immunity, and will not suddenly become a powerful excretory drug.

The current effect is most likely the kind of "virus" in Frank's body, which has a huge conflict with the life essence of Hualu, which will make the hunchbacked ugly man vomit and diarrhea. Although the "World Tree Flower Dew" failed to play its own role, it also allowed Frank to eliminate most of the "viruses", which can be regarded as a crooked fight.

Qin Lun glanced at the crumbling hunchbacked servant, sighed lightly, uncorked the crystal bottle again, and dropped a drop into the wine jug.

Save people to the end, send Buddha to the west! Now that a drop of World Tree Flower Dew has been paid, the residual poison in Frank's body cannot be allowed to recur. What's more, there are still a lot of things for Frank to do next, how can he still be an errand runner like this, Qin Lun doesn't have time to wait for him to slowly recover his health.

"Go to the stream and fill it with water, your illness is not cured, if you don't want to die, drink a sip of the medicine in the pot every hour." Qin Lun handed the flask back to Frank, "When you can continue on your journey, we'll go back!" ”

I have to say that Frank's physical foundation is really good, and of course, it is also possible that the second drop of World Tree Flower Dew has finally played its due role. The hunchbacked servant's face soon regained its rosiness, and after only half an hour's rest, he was in good spirits.

"Master Wellington, let's go home, Frank feels his strength come back!" The hunchbacked servant stood up, pinched his knuckles excitedly, and took the lead in the lead.

At this moment, the horizon began to glow, and a ray of dawn dispelled the gloom of the wooded graveyard and hung on the treetops of the grove.

Wellington's home was about five or six miles from the wooded cemetery, on a hillside that was relatively high, overlooking a town shrouded in morning fog not far away.

This is a two-story wood and stone small western-style building, which looks quite elegant and chic from a distance. However, when you come closer, you can find that the outer wall of the small building is mottled, and the corners of the wall are full of grass and moss, which is a dilapidated scene.

"Toot ~~ warn, the environment here is different from the living conditions of this world, please leave as far as the apostle can, otherwise the law body will fall into a state of continuous damage!"

The message from the death list made Qin Lun's face change slightly, and he grabbed the hunchbacked servant who was leading the way in front of him, squinting his eyes and looking at the small building again.

"Give me the flask, you stay here!" Qin Lun took out a silk handkerchief from his vest pocket, sprinkled some diluted flower dew, covered his mouth and nose, and pushed open the wooden door of the small building.

The furnishings in the small building are rather rudimentary, and the walls of the hallway are hung with several portraits of people who are members of the Stan family. In Grandpa Wellington's generation, the Stan family was actually a relatively well-known family in the area. Unfortunately, Wellington's father had no interest in studying medicine and went to business, but he lost money in a row.

After Wellington's father died, Wellington Jr. had no choice but to sell his personal goods to make ends meet and continue his medical studies. In fact, this young man's medical skills were not as inferior as Qin Lun imagined, at least in terms of surgery, he still had the medical talent of the Stan family.

Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that Frank goes to the cemetery from time to time to steal corpses for him to dissect and study.

Unfortunately, Wellington was inexperienced after all, and barely managed to treat those epidemic patients, and finally let himself die before he could get out of school, completely severing the blood of the Stan family.

According to Wellington's remaining memories, Qin Lun quickly ran up to the bedroom on the second floor, took out a small cloth bag from the dark compartment of the desk and put it in his pocket. Then run downstairs again, open the secret door of a small storeroom, and follow the wooden ladder into the basement of the small building.

This is Wellington's medical laboratory, as well as his operating room and dissecting table!

PS: Sunday convention, the last shift is at 12 o'clock in the evening.
