Lao Sun hugged his son's headless corpse and walked back to the village crying bitterly.

Hearing the commotion, the villagers came out of their houses one after another.

"What's wrong?"

An older woman asked Liu Neng, who shook her head and didn't speak.

"I'm afraid I've met Shengfan." One of the Lang Zhong sent by Zheng Zhibao sighed and shook his head.

Xu heard Lao Sun's cry, and his daughter-in-law stumbled out of the house, crying "wow" when she saw the situation. rushed forward and hugged his son's body.

I don't know if he sensed that his mother was by his side, Lao Sun's son let go of his hanging hand, and an unknown fruit fell from his hand and rolled to the ground.

Whether it's the guards with torches, or the villagers who come to watch. At this time, they all couldn't cry.

Even if it's a miasma, it's a natural disaster after all.

But a good child said that it was gone, and it was difficult for everyone to accept.

"Kill the mountain! Avenge the child! ”

"That's right! I want them to pay for their lives and avenge their children! ”

Someone in the crowd shouted, and everyone began to get excited.

"Everyone, be quiet!"

Liu Neng shouted loudly and motioned for everyone to calm down. Then he looked at the man just now and said:

"Mr. Zhao, is this the hunter's head?"

"That's right! But I'm afraid, it's hard for you to get revenge! ”

"Why?"

"The closest tribe to us on the mountain should be the Zou tribe, although the number of people is not as large as the Ami tribe, the Paiwan tribe, and the Atayal tribe, but there are two or three thousand people to say the least. They are all good hunters, and they have set many traps in the mountains, and if you go up the mountains, I am afraid that more people will die. ”

"So that's it?" Liu Neng said hatefully.

Zhao Langzhong did not speak again.

What if you don't forget it? Did the Han people who came to the island die less?

At night, Liu Neng lay on the bed and tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

"The head of the house, are you still thinking about Sun Wa?"

"Well, I can't even take revenge, and I'm panicking."

"Alas, if you want me to say forbearance, forget it, just be careful in the future."

"But the problem is that there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days!"

"So what can we do?"

"Aren't you thinking? Sleep quickly, leave me alone. ”

Then he turned his back and stopped talking, and Liu Xie also fell asleep.

What made him happy was that Liu Xie's condition seemed to be much better, and he slept peacefully this night.

Day 2

The patients in the village continued to take Wu Youke's medicine, and by the third day, some of the patients with mild symptoms were no longer sick.

Everyone was overjoyed.

Constantly praise the level of the imperial doctor in this capital is high!

Only Wu Youke knew in his heart that it was probably the medicine given by the emperor that played a big role. Because it is impossible for the prescription to work so quickly, and many patients do not take it at all.

Everyone endured their grief and buried Sun Wa, looking at the grief of the old Sun family, Liu Neng's desire for revenge became stronger.

By the fifth day, no one was sick anymore.

Considering the long incubation period of malaria, Wu Youke took out the artemisinin capsules again and distributed three capsules to each person.

Cure the disease, prevent the disease.

Then he explained the principle of malaria transmission.

"Any epidemic has a source, that is, a source of infection. Some through the air, some through drinking water, and some through the blood. The disease in our village is called malaria, which is transmitted through the bite of mosquitoes. In layman's terms, a mosquito carries a pathogen, so when it bites, it will transmit the disease to this person. Therefore, if we want not to get sick, the most important thing is to prevent mosquitoes.

What we often call miasma is actually a collective term for a variety of diseases. We should prevent it from several aspects, such as drinking water hygiene, fecal management, and pest control.

Everyone knows that there are many invisible insects in the water, and we will get sick if we drink it directly. Therefore, in the future, the drinking water must be boiled before drinking.

There are two benefits of faecal management, one is to reduce the chance of infectious diseases and parasitic infections. Second, it can also be used as fertilizer to increase grain production. The first thing we need to do is not to defecate in the open. Toilets are built in every household and cleaned regularly.

Then it is to eliminate pests and mosquitoes.

As long as there are fewer mosquitoes, it will be difficult for natural diseases to spread. ”

Wu Youke stood in the center of the crowd and talked about various methods and measures for disease prevention, and everyone listened very carefully. The divine doctor is teaching how to save life, who doesn't want to learn?

The two Lang Zhong sent by Zheng Zhibao listened attentively, and some of Wu Youke's views caused them to ponder.

Unheard of, but very reasonable.

Obviously they are all doctors, why is the gap so big?

Next, Wu Youke took everyone to carry out a vigorous mosquito eradication action.

After treating everyone, Wu did not leave, but stayed in the village.

His arrival, for these villagers, is tantamount to a lighthouse in the sea and a beacon in the night. It not only illuminates the way forward, but also points the way.

And what touched everyone the most was that he went door-to-door every day to impart knowledge on disease prevention. Now the whole village, from the elderly in their sixties and seventies, to children as young as six or seven years old, know some knowledge of disease prevention.

Wu Youke lived in the village for half a month, and then he was ready to leave.

He plans to travel to various parts of Taiwan to spread this set of effective disease prevention methods on the island. Let the Han people living on the island master some knowledge in this area, and reduce the mortality rate of those who land on the island.

Early that morning, Wu Youke found Liu Neng.

"Captain Liu, I'm going to take a look at other places on the island. Don't leave it at that! ”

"Mr. Wu, why don't you stay longer? There are still a lot of folks who want to invite you to dinner and didn't line up! ”

These days, Wu Youke is often dragged by the people in the village to be a guest, and he takes out the best things in the house to entertain him.

"No, practice medicine, practice medicine. How can you stay in one place all the time! Wu Youke shook his head, refused Liu Neng's retention, and quietly left without alarming the villagers.

Carrying a medicine box on his back and carrying an entourage.

After Wu Youke left, the village seemed to calm down.

Liu Neng gathers the members of the convoy and plans revenge.

"Big brother, after so many lives, are we done killing them?" Xie Changkun asked suspiciously.

"We don't need to kill them until they are afraid! Kill them until they dare not go down the mountain to attack again! Let them know that we are not their prey. If you dare to provoke, you will pay the price! ”

Under Liu Neng's arrangement, the escort team began to move.

They worked in teams of ten people and quietly searched for traces of the Zou people's infestions. Then ask experienced people about the living habits of the Zou people, as well as the time of various sacrifices.

After investigation, the Zou people will hold a ceremony to worship the gods of heaven and war in front of the tribal square in February or August. This ritual is called the Enemy Head Sacrifice and is also called the Triumphal Sacrifice.

In the Zou tradition, there are three kinds of opportunities to hold the enemy's head sacrifice: one is to return from the grass, the second is to rebuild the clubhouse, and the third is to harvest the millet after the season. Sacrifice to the gods with their heads. Headhunters sometimes have other purposes, such as revenge, land preservation, land grabbing, and showing off their bravery.

In their cognition, if they can't get a head back for a whole year, and the gods have no head to eat, there will be no harvest of food for the year, no harvest from hunting, no food in the house, and no withering in the earth.

Therefore, the Zou clan will go all out in the matter of hunting for heads.

It's the end of July now, and August is coming, so I have to prepare in advance.

He took Xie Changkun to find Zheng Zhibao, explained the situation to Zheng Zhibao, and put forward his request: to equip.

Zheng Zhibao was very kind, and immediately agreed to give them 500 pairs of armor, 400 war knives, and 100 bird guns.

Of course, the reason why they are so relieved is that it all comes from Zheng Zhilong's arrangement.

"When this is over, you can keep the sword and bird, but the armor will be handed over to me."

"No problem." Liu Neng readily agreed.

Zheng Zhibao and several other officers helped them train the villagers of the escort team, and taught them how to use the bird gun.

August 15

It was supposed to be the annual Mid-Autumn Festival, but the atmosphere in the village was extremely tense. All the young and strong people in the village are waiting to prevent the Zou clan from going down the mountain to hunt their heads.

And the five hundred young men who guarded it came to the woods at the foot of the mountain early to lay in ambush.

Time passed minute by minute, until it was dark, and there was no movement at all.

"Big brother, is there a problem with the intelligence? Who has anyone descending the mountain? Xie Changkun asked a little impatiently.

"I don't know, but we'll just have to wait."

As he spoke, a man emerged from the foot of the mountain in the distance. Dressed in a leather coat, his head is pierced with flying feathers. He was looking around cautiously.

"Big brother! Up, right? ”

"Don't worry, wait!"

Today is a big sacrifice for the Zou people, and it is impossible for there to be only one person.

Sure enough, the man walked about a few hundred steps forward, and after a few chirpings of birds, another person appeared in the forest. Look at the clothes, it's all raw.

After everyone came out, they slowly touched in the direction of Liu Neng and their village.

Liu Neng counted it, and it was about three or four hundred. Without hesitation, he stood up and shouted to the man beside him:

"Brothers, think of the tragic death of Sun Wa! Think of your loved ones, children! If you don't want them to cut off their heads one by one and take them home, you will rush up with Lao Tzu and kill them all! ”
