Chapter 31: Good and Bad News
In the evening, a few healthy Terran members returned to the rock face with food. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Their people are sick and weak, and they are not fit to come down, otherwise they will be miserable if their feet slip. For the time being, their food can only be delivered by these healthy people.
The main food of these patients is porridge, of course, mixed with fresh river and vegetables, and a little heat-clearing medicine. Don't worry about the taste, the key is that it's good for their body!
"How's the situation?" asked Chu Mad when the food delivery person returned to the temporary camp.
"The situation is not very good, but everyone had a good dinner tonight, thank you!" Hou Qiang, the middle-aged man who took the initiative to stand up and communicate with the traversers, thanked these outsiders very sincerely at this moment.
"As long as you fulfill your oath, then we will naturally not give up on you!" Chu said with a wild smile.
"Please rest assured of this! Although we have left the orc clan, the beast god is still our faith! As long as you can cure our clansmen, our lives will be all handed over to you!" Hou Qiang replied seriously and even solemnly.
In order to be able to heal the people in crisis, he vowed that as long as these outsiders could deal with it, then the whole clan would be willing to be their slaves, and the children born would be their slaves forever.
In fact, the orcs have already appeared primitive slavery, obedient and obedient can be natural people, and those who dare to resist, or are lazy, will be reduced to slaves. This seems to be the earliest law of the primitive world, but the punishment is a bit too harsh!
The traversers didn't realize at first that this racial crisis of the tailless monkey clan could be completely used by them. Fortunately, Meng Xin reminded him in time, so he took advantage of the situation to ask their entire clan to become their slaves at the cost of treatment.
Now the tailless monkey clan has no choice at all, either die with dignity or live comfortably. Not everyone is not afraid of death, especially a group of people who have been driven out of the orc race. The last five were the first to gain the allegiance of these dozens of men.
The key is still those who are sick, it is said that there are at least 700 people, which is a precious population resource!
"Let's talk about it, how to treat this malaria?" After dinner, it was natural to get to the point, and the five people gathered around to discuss, but in fact, only Zhang Han and Chu Mad could speak, and the other three 'ancient people' didn't know how to deal with this problem at all.
"Remember quinine, and cinchona cream can cure malaria...... Is there a cinchona tree in this world?" Zhang Han's thinking was still stuck in the 80s, and quinine was the first thing that came to mind for the treatment of malaria.
"You can look for this, after all, I found that many of the plants here are the same as the earth. But you also have to be prepared for the second hand, that is, if you can't find the cinchona tree, you have to find a way to find a replacement! One is the green penny, which is also known as the stinky penny, and the other is the tobacco leaf!" Chu said after thinking for a while.
"Can stinky pennies and tobacco also cure malaria?" Zhang Han couldn't help but be stunned, obviously surprised by this remark.
As for tobacco, I'm not sure, mainly because I heard that Native Americans never took medicine when they were sick, so they used tobacco.
I don't know if they smoke or drink it in wine, or if they take it in traditional Chinese medicine, but if we don't have penny or cinchona, finding tobacco leaves may be our only hope. Chu Yan said very solemnly, after all, there are always a few more backup plans for this kind of thing, and whether it will work or not will not be said first.
"Okay, tomorrow we'll go look for the penny! Cinchona tree and tobacco leaves will be handed over to you two!" Liu Xing immediately spoke.
Originally, tobacco was introduced to China in the Ming Dynasty, but Liu Xing was from Jinyiwei in the Yongle period, so there was no tobacco at that time, or tobacco had not completely spread in China, so it was normal for him not to know.
As for cinchona, it was only after 1638 that it was proven to be useful for malaria and began to spread gradually. Except for Zhang Han and Chu Mad who knew what it was like, the other three didn't know at all.
"Wolf Lin, you are going to look for some medicine to clear away heat and defeat fire as we taught you before. Before we find the special medicine, we have to hang the lives of those clansmen first!" Chu Mad looked at Wolf Lin again and ordered.
"Okay, I'll take my clan to look for it tomorrow!" Wolf Lin nodded.
Everyone was not very happy that night, and even a little dignified. Needles are constantly being thrown into the fire to keep the damn mosquitoes away.
Seriously, these mosquitoes may not be malaria mosquitoes, but if you can, it's better not to let them get close to you!
The point is that this open area outside the canyon is too close to the forest, so you have to be on the lookout for large predators to suddenly break in. Be careful, those wolf orcs who have fled again will find this place!
After all, there is a saying in their world: "Okay, the scar forgets the pain!" No matter what world it is, there is always a group of stupid X who have been defeated and defeated again and again, but never give up!
The next day, after a brief breakfast, the group went out and wandered around. Seriously, collecting medicine in the jungle is not a fun thing, you have to be careful to find the medicine you can use, and you have to be careful of the hidden dangers.
For example, the large predators that may be lurking in the grass not far away, and the protective poisons. Maybe there is even a bright and beautiful poisonous snake in a certain grass, but it can kill people!
After looking for a long time, the cinchona tree and the tobacco leaf Chu Madness and Zhang Han did not find it, maybe there are really no two species in this world, or maybe the direction they are looking for is not correct. Seriously, even if there are these two species, they are very skeptical that they will be able to exert their medicinal effects.
After all, a species is constantly evolving itself over a long period of time. It is very likely that there will be different degrees of evolutionary direction due to environmental influences. Who can guarantee that even if there are cinchona and tobacco in this world, their effects will be the same as those of these two species in their time and space?
Perhaps, among those unknown plants, there is some kind of treatment for malaria? Unfortunately, the five people may not be able to recognize all the plants that are similar to the earth, let alone the unknown plants. Even Xu Momo, who is from the elf clan, can't fully recognize the types of these plants, not to mention the effect.
"Didn't you find anything yet?" Returning to the camp, looking at the sullen looks of the others, Chu Yan and Zhang Han asked.
"Actually, we've found Penny, or what should be Penny......," Feng Wenyan spoke first.
"Then what's so sullen?" Chu Mad couldn't understand, isn't this worth being happy about?
"The problem is that where we found Penny, there is a magical beast at least level 3 living there!" Liu Xing replied.
"At the same time, we also looked around, except that there was no other place for the time being. Meng Xin shrugged his shoulders, this kind of body language was something he had learned from Chu Yan.
The Xu Momo clan almost suffered casualties in order to hunt third-level demonic beasts before, which shows how difficult this thing is to deal with. The discovery of Penny is indeed good news, but when I learned that there was a third-level demonic beast living next to Penny, I couldn't help but hesitate......
