◎Happy 92nd Day: Miraculous healing and accurate prediction◎
Jiang Muyun looked at the three of them and said firmly, "See, I told you this smell can prevent heatstroke."
Didn’t you see how the three cubs regained their energy in an instant?
Qin Shiwen sighed, "The effect is indeed outstanding, but how do you know they have heatstroke? What if they just find the smell unpleasant?"
Jiang Muyun said confidently, "If they weren't suffering from heatstroke, the two big ones wouldn't have come running to me with the smell of medicine. If they were just looking for something smelly, wouldn't it be better to pick up a couple of rotten mushrooms in the woods and let them smell them?"
Qin Shiwen looked at him lovingly, "Have you ever considered that they just don't want to pick up rotten mushrooms themselves, so they come to you to be their porter?"
Jiang Muyun felt that he was hurt.
In particular, she discovered that after the three cubs were willing to move, the five of them just strolled away without even showing the slightest intention of coming over to taste the medicine.
It seemed like she was really just a porter, doing the work that the two rebellious chickens didn't want to do.
Jiang Muyun stared at the empty bottle in his hand with a deep look: "It's hot, drink some chicken soup to replenish your body."
Chu Buwen immediately rushed to the emotional high ground: "The chicks have heatstroke, and the rabbits may have heatstroke too. I think they seem to be in low spirits these past few days. Do you want to go check it out?"
Jiang Muyun instantly regained his confidence: "Let's go and take a look. It's a pity that they are weaned now, otherwise I could mix the medicine in the goat's milk and feed them."
"Why do you only think about feeding people medicine all day?" Wu Xingyue complained. "By the way, can rabbits drink Huoxiang Zhengqi water? I heard that rabbits will die if they drink the water."
Jiang Muyun: "I don't know. But rabbits just can't take in too much water. It's okay to feed them a small amount of water when feeding them dry food. How about we give it a try?"
Wu Xingyue became interested immediately.
Zhao Jiahao, who had been thinking about rabbit meat, was shocked and said, "Rabbits are so cute, how could you have the heart to test drugs on them?"
Of course Jiang Muyun didn't have the heart to test the medicine on the rabbit.
These rabbits are the treasures of their family. If anything goes wrong during the trial, Jiang Muyun will cry his heart out.
But in his previous life, Jiang Muyun had indeed seen many rabbit farmers looking to buy Huoxiang Zhengqi water before the arrival of summer.
Of course, they weren't looking for expired products from before the apocalypse, but rather simplified versions of the medicines that had been remixed after the apocalypse. The prices were quite impressive, the kind that ordinary survivors wouldn't even be able to afford.
It is said that if ordinary rabbits before the end of the world showed symptoms of heatstroke, they could be cured by feeding them a small amount of Huoxiang Zhengqi water.
So after the end of the world, those who raised rabbits followed suit and tried to feed these mutated wild rabbits new medicines made from mutated herbs.
Judging from the fact that rabbit breeders ask to buy Huoxiang Zhengqi Water every summer, this thing must be really effective in treating heatstroke in rabbits.
Jiang Muyun knew that this thing could be used, but she couldn't lose with her eloquence.
She pointed at the little fur balls in the rabbit hutch and said, "The rabbits are so cute. If they die from the drug test, won't we have spicy rabbit heads to eat?"
Zhao Jiahao quickly changed sides: "That makes sense, Boss Jiang! Then how many kilograms of medicine do you think is appropriate?"
Zhou Ying: "Because of your courage, I will keep all the rabbits that were poisoned to death in our house and feed them to you. No one can stop me."
Zhao Jiahao restrained himself and said aggrievedly, "I was just joking."
Jiang Muyun also stood up for Zhao Jiahao: "Exactly, if you want to poison Zhao Jiahao, why do you curse our rabbit? Why not just drug him?"
Qin Shiwu's words about rabbits not being killed by poison were drowned out. Zhao Jiahao raised his voice in disbelief, "Prick up your ears and see if you're speaking human language."
Jiang Muyun couldn't prick up his ears, but the ears of the four little bastards could prick up.
Zhou Ying and Qin Shiwu wanted to pick up the little rabbits to check their physical condition, but just as they got a little closer, they saw the little rabbits that were lying listlessly in their nest suddenly stood up.
The cubs are now quite large, larger than ordinary adult domestic rabbits. Although they are still not as big as their parents, their aura of readiness for a fight already has the shadow of adult wild rabbits.
Zhou Ying, who had held a rabbit a few days ago, couldn't believe that her soft little ball of fur had changed its mind so easily. She reached out her hand to test it out, but her hand almost turned into rabbit feed.
The others were unwilling to give up, so they ran over one by one to try. As a result, the brats who had failed to get meat many times got irritated and almost pounced on them to fight.
Zhou Ying, whose true feelings were misplaced, was stunned and bewildered: "Why are they like this..."
Just a few days ago, he could still rub his ears and touch his tail at will.
Jiang Muyun, who had taken an online course on aquaculture, finally came into play: "Maybe the child has grown up."
Jiang Muyun tried to comfort Zhou Ying: "It's been two months since they were born. It's time for them to live on their own."
The so-called living on their own means letting them dig holes and build nests freely.
Then Jiang Muyun and others followed their method of raising adult rabbits, sending a wave of fodder over every day and no longer had to worry about them.
The few people who lost the little ball of fur to rub felt lost.
While fetching water, Qin Shiwen lamented his life, saying, "I am like a lonely old mother, with nothing to do every day after my children have left home to live on their own, and I can find no joy in life."
Jiang Muyun wiped the rain off his face expressionlessly. "That's enough, let's go back. If you can't find any fun, you can always go fishing with your fingers. It would be great to never come back empty-handed."
Qin Shiwen held the lid of the stainless steel bucket with one hand, knocked out a fish that tried to jump out, and then closed the bucket containing the fish: "How can such a simple thing be fun?"
The buckets containing fish were all covered with lids, but the other buckets containing water were open.
Several water buckets are currently only 80% full. Because it is still raining outside, their journey back is a good opportunity for the rainwater to continue filling the buckets.
This is the experience they have gained from the occasional showers since the beginning of summer.
This kind of shower is very annoying. It occurs every few days and lasts for about two hours each time.
When working in a hot and humid environment, everyone inevitably sweats a lot every day. As the amount of water consumed increases dramatically, bathing also becomes a major water consumer.
The rainfall from the showers was not enough to sustain their daily water needs, so they had to continue fetching water from the river as usual.
This kind of rainstorm will not cause animals to give warnings, and there are no buildings to shelter from the rain when fetching water from the river, unlike when searching for supplies in the city. Therefore, every time a rainstorm hits, the person responsible for fetching water that day will most likely be drenched.
When it rained before and the wind was strong, they could still find shelter on the leeward slope.
The wind is quite strong when it rains now, but it is only strong enough to make it difficult to hold an umbrella. It is nothing compared to before. Even if you find a leeward slope, it cannot stop the rain.
The extent of its stagnant weather is even more annoying than the previous spring storms.
At first, everyone was interested in going out with raincoats.
After wearing it once, I found that the raincoat was full of water droplets. When I came back, I was still soaked all over, and it was even hotter than without a raincoat.
So they ruled out the idea of bringing a raincoat.
Qin Shiwen wanted to build a shelter under the ridge of the field so that he would have a place to hide if it rained again on the road.
Unexpectedly, the wind direction outside changed suddenly. The simple rain shelter was never used once after it was set up and was blown away by the wind.
After struggling several times, they stopped struggling.
It’s just getting wet in the rain. It’s not like I’ve been wet before. Whatever. I’m tired.
They even learned to draw less river water when it rained, and let the rain water fill the buckets as compensation for the rainy day.
In this horrible weather, everyone is sticky every day, even the quilt is so wet that you want to wring out the water. You can only feel dry for a moment after taking a shower.
Sometimes, when we really couldn't stand it anymore, we would ask for a day off. We would wash all the clothes that needed to be washed, then light up the kang, drying the clothes and bedding while also drying the cave.
It is really hot in the cave after the kang is heated in the summer, but at least it is not so humid.
Comparing the two, many people even fall in love with this dry sauna-like feeling.
After a while, when the temperature really reached 40, no one reacted.
Isn't it just hot? It would be better if the temperature is a little higher to dry out all the moisture.
But even though people think so, their bodies may not agree.
When the temperature climbed above 40 degrees Celsius and even rabbits started digging deeper holes and no longer came out of their burrows easily, everyone started to break out in rashes.
No one knew whether it was prickly heat, eczema, or some other inflammation, but one after another, everyone found patches of small red blisters on their bodies.
I don’t know if it’s because of living in a humid environment for a long time, which has caused the stratum corneum to soften, but these small bags are extremely fragile and will break if scratched.
Even Jiang Muyun, who lived in an air-conditioned room at night, could not escape.
During this period, she would stay in the floating house every night when she returned home, turn on the air conditioner, wash, eat, read and sleep.
When you go out, put the floating room into the space to prevent the dry air in the floating room from being polluted by humid weather.
You can wash up and have a refreshing sleep at night without having to deal with moisture, but you still have to go out and suffer during the day.
Jiang Muyun often goes out with a backpack. After being covered by the backpack strap for a long time, his shoulders became red and itchy.
The slightly better thing is that she has not yet developed any red spots, but only two red bands on her shoulders, and the edges are abraded.
If wounds appear in this hot and humid environment, they will become infected and inflamed if not treated properly.
We have all witnessed the consequences of wound infection when there is a lack of anti-inflammatory drugs.
Bamboo grass does have a certain anti-inflammatory effect, but I don’t know if it is effective for this type of injury.
Anyway, it’s not poisonous, so you can just take it orally and apply it externally and use it for now.
Jiang Muyun had stockpiled a lot of useful medicines. After she applied erythromycin ointment on herself and stopped carrying her backpack for a few days, the wound began to heal slowly.
Jiang Muyun silently tested the medicine on herself, proving that the tube of erythromycin ointment she used was not only non-toxic but also effective, and she contributed the results of the test.
Jiang Muyun certainly knew that the medicine in his hand was not expired, but others didn't know.
As a result, Jiang Muyun not only did not receive any praise, but was almost beaten by Qin Shiwen, and was expressly forbidden by Qin Shiwu from doing any such drug testing.
Qin Shiwu himself felt a headache looking at the pile of expired medicines.
It would be a lie to say that I don’t feel bad about it, but who would dare to use expired medicines that have been stored in the natural environment?
So Qin Shiwu set his sights on the rabbit.
The adult female rabbit is pregnant again.
Rabbits are creatures that reproduce very quickly. By the time the mother rabbit gives birth, the number of rabbits in their home may be doubled.
Everyone knows that wild rabbits have a bad temper. They can't raise double-digit rabbits. It should be okay to give him one to test the medicine on, right?
Of course, there is no need to try any oral medication. They don’t dare to eat it regardless of whether the rabbit is dead or not.
Even their biological poison detector Dabai is useless in this regard.
After all, Baymax can only judge whether something poses a threat to itself. It hasn't taken the postgraduate entrance exam, so how can it know whether an element that is harmless to itself is harmful to humans?
Tripterygium wilfordii is a typical example. Different creatures have different reactions after taking it. It is poisonous to humans but not to rabbits. What if the medicine they have also contains some similar ingredients? Wouldn't people be completely killed after taking it after testing the medicine?
But you can still try common topical medications like erythromycin ointment.
We are all mammals with flesh and blood, so there shouldn't be that much difference in our clinical reactions to common topical medications.
But the tube in Jiang Muyun's hand...
It's a waste if you don't try it.
After applying erythromycin ointment, endure scratching for a while. Once the broken skin has healed, you can apply some prickly heat powder to relieve the itching.
But it’s not a good idea to keep going like this.
One day, Zhao Jiahao couldn't stand it anymore, so he moved the floor mat and said he wanted to go to the top of the mountain to get some fresh air at night.
Jiang Muyun couldn't persuade him, so he could only pat his shoulder meaningfully and tell him to take precautions to avoid being eaten by mosquitoes.
Zhao Jiahao armed himself fully, filled a bottle of thunder god vine water and said he would sprinkle it on the top of the mountain to repel mosquitoes. He also brought a mosquito net and a mat. After feeling that he was fully prepared, he went to the top of the mountain in high spirits.
He even brought a thin blanket as a quilt, saying that he was afraid that the strong wind on the top of the mountain would make him cold at night.
As a result, he was awakened in the middle of the night by some movement under the quilt.
When he opened his eyes again, Zhao Jiahao found himself surrounded.
Outside the mosquito net he had set up were common mosquitoes, while inside the net were all small flying insects that had been hiding in the woods.
They gathered around him in piles, crawled into the mosquito net and the thin blanket, and many of them were trying to squeeze into his clothes through the collar, the only part of his shirt that was not fastened tightly.
These small flying insects densely surrounded his entire body, and even if they couldn't suck his blood, they would stick to him and refuse to leave.
He could even feel the force of the small flying insects on the outer circle trying to crash into the inner circle and stick to his body, even his face.
Zhao Jiahao jumped three feet high, directly lifted the mosquito net, and ran outside to frantically slap the small flies stuck on his body.
Yes, the protection of stockings and clothes is very useful. The poisonous mouthparts of small flies that cannot be stopped by mosquito nets cannot poke him at all.
But in this situation, is it a question of whether it will be bitten?
Zhao Jiahao was about to cry.
He was feeling really cool now, the kind of cool that his hands and feet were almost frozen.
Zhao Jiahao wiped his face, trying to drive away the small fly on his face, but he didn't expect that the other party was so loyal to him that she would rather be pressed to death on his face than leave him.
To make matters worse, without the protection of the mosquito net, the mosquitoes that had previously only been swarming around him and drooling at him from afar also rushed over.
These mosquitoes cannot be stopped by stockings.
With the mentality of being willing to die rather than lose face, Zhao Jiahao suppressed the urge to scream and crawled all the way to find his good brother Li Anxuan for help.
Good brother Li Anxuan did not let Zhao Jiahao down.
After Zhao Jiahao woke him up by banging on the door, Li Anxuan not only didn't stand by and watch him die, but instead gave the frightened Zhao Jiahao a warm greeting: "Get away, you bastard! If I open the door and find you standing at the door with a bunch of mosquitoes, I'll chop you into pieces and use you as a mosquito trap."
Zhao Jiahao, who was scratching his ears and cheeks without daring to stop for a moment, immediately ran three meters away.
Then the door of Li Anxuan's house opened and closed quickly, and Li Anxuan, who had also wrapped himself tightly, stood outside with a broom.
Zhao Jiahao, who didn't dare to dodge being hit by Li Anxuan with a broom, was now crying.
"Oh, you are not deliberately taking revenge on me!" Zhao Jiahao spoke with tears in his voice.
Li Anxuan smacked him with a broom: "How smart you are to guess it right! How about I stop taking revenge now and leave you alone."
Zhao Jiahao was well aware of the truth that a man who knows the times is a hero, and he immediately admitted his mistake.
After finally getting rid of all the mosquitoes that were clinging to Zhao Jiahao, Li Anxuan went back and brought out a basin of Tripterygium wilfordii water.
"Stand still. If you spill the water, bugs will stick to you again. I'll go home and sleep with you." Li Anxuan warned.
How could Zhao Jiahao dare to move?
Now, let alone pouring a basin of water on him, he would have to endure it even if someone poured mud on him.
Thunder god vine is not a difficult plant to grow. The original few plants have now grown into a pile on the back mountain. They are also very generous in adding materials when soaking thunder god vine in water.
Even though its effect on mosquitoes is similar to that of toilet water now, it is a concentrated version of toilet water. If you pour a basin of water over your head, the mosquito repellent effect is still quite obvious.
Zhao Jiahao finally entered the house clean and just wanted to lie down to sleep to soothe his wounded heart when he started to feel itchy again.
Could it be that there really is a bug that came in and slept with me?
Zhao Jiahaoteng sat up suddenly and slapped his itchy calf.
He didn't even care about saving electricity. He turned on the small bedside lamp in fear, held his breath and moved close to his calf, carefully moving his hand that had been covering his calf.
There were no dead insects.
Zhao Jiahao breathed a sigh of relief.
But there was one, no, several, small red bags that looked very familiar to him.
Well, I jumped around all the way, but I still couldn’t avoid being bitten by mosquitoes.
Maybe more than a few bites.
Because the next day Jiang Muyun laughed out loud when he saw him.
Not to mention his arms and legs, Zhao Jiahao even had mosquito bites on his face, which were right next to the dark circles under his eyes from not sleeping all night.
Zhao Jiahao, reeking of wind oil, insisted, "I clearly poured Tripterygium wilfordii water on the bedside yesterday, but who knew it had no effect at all."
They have been using Tripterygium wilfordii water to prevent mosquitoes and repel insects since the beginning of spring, and the effect is really good. At least there are not many mosquitoes in the cave, and the occasional two or so do not affect normal life.
But the question is, can the cave and the one on the top of the mountain that is ventilated on all sides be the same?
"Thunder God Vine knows that it will feel very wronged if you say that to it." Qin Shiwen yawned.
Yawning is really contagious. Qin Shiwen started it, and the group of people here couldn't help but follow suit.
They had to go out to collect supplies during the day, and when they came back at night they had to endure the damp, hot and stuffy caves. There were only a few kinds of food, and their lives were very similar to those of the contract laborers in the old society.
During the day, when people are awake, they think that this temperature is bearable. But at night, when they fall asleep, the body instinctively stands up and starts to protest. We have all been woken up by the heat more than once.
Jiang Muyun estimated their ice storage capacity and suggested, "Let's open the ice cellar. We can use the ice in the cave first and keep the ice in the cellar just in case. At least we can get a good night's sleep."
Zhao Jiahao, who had been so hot yesterday that he ran outside to get some fresh air, sighed, "They really are opening the ice cellar. Then the humidity in the cave will get even worse."
Zhao Jiahao's words expressed everyone's thoughts.
In fact, they all know that the weather is very hot now, so hot that their bodies have begun to protest, and they can't sleep well all night long. It's hot enough to open the ice cellar and use ice.
They have been resisting not using ice, not only because they are afraid that the temperature will continue to rise, but also because they are really fed up with the humid days and would rather endure the heat than add humidity to their home.
Jiang Muyun was an expert in math. "It's already so humid right now, so what's the difference between 99% and 100% humidity? But after using the ice, the temperature goes from 40 degrees to 35 degrees, which is a huge difference. Using 1% humidity for a 5 or 6 degree temperature difference is a huge win."
Although the 1% and 5℃ data were all made up by Jiang Muyun, this is the truth.
At this time, we should be grateful that they were bored during the winter and stored an extra cave of ice.
If they only had an ice cellar, they might not be willing to use ice in this situation.
Before opening the cave, they deliberately made a thick thermal insulation layer with quilts to keep the cave warm after the mud brick wall that originally sealed the cave was smashed open.
As ice melts, it absorbs heat and increases humidity. Considering that everyone hates the side effects of using ice for cooling, they did not insist on fair distribution in this matter.
Everyone takes and uses ice on a voluntary basis, and as long as there is no waste, everything is fine.
Of course, given how stingy they are now, no one is willing to waste precious ice.
Not only do they hate to waste ice, they even use the cooling air from melting ice to cool boiled water, and collect the melted water for bathing. Once ice is in the house, it's almost impossible to get more than a meter away from it; even a second less of enjoyment is a waste.
After enjoying the pleasure of using ice, Wang Qingqing even began to talk about making a coffin for herself to sleep in: "That way the cold air from the ice can be trapped around me, instead of being wasted everywhere."
Qin Shiwen also made a small account book and recorded every time he took a piece of ice, providing reference data for their ice storage work in the next winter.
Jiang Muyun doesn't need these anymore.
She said she was feeling fine now, occasionally coming to the ice cellar to cool a couple of bottles of water, and usually taking a cold shower was enough. Only on unusually hot days would she chisel half a block of ice back home.
If someone else said this, everyone would definitely think that she was making excuses for not wanting to use ice.
But Jiang Muyun is not.
In the eyes of Chu Buwen and others, Jiang Muyun is really not afraid of heat.
Because she hasn't had any rashes so far.
The only time I got hurt was from a backpack.
And when it comes to heat resistance, it's not just Jiang Muyun, everyone else also feels that they are gradually adapting to the temperature.
They had been out all day, but no one had ever gotten heatstroke. Even if they did have mild symptoms, they could recover by resting for a while and drinking some water.
You know, the last time the temperature reached 40 degrees, no one dared to go out.
If the difference in this matter can be explained by the fear of sunburn when there was sunshine before, and the difference in perceived temperature when it is cloudy, rainy and windy every day now, then the change in the frequency of their use of ice this summer is solid evidence that their bodies are adapting to the temperature.
There is Qin Shiwen's small account book as evidence.
They started out with almost everyone using a piece of ice a day, then moved on to using half a piece of ice for the first half of the night, and the frequency of ice use is slowly decreasing.
But the temperature never dropped.
The criterion for judgment is the rabbits that have been staying in their burrows and not going out since the beginning of summer.
At first, Qin Shiwu thought that everyone didn't use ice because they couldn't stand the dampness, so he specially made a decoction of thunder god vine for them to remove the dampness.
Thunder god vine is poisonous, and Qin Shiwu was very cautious when taking it, but I don’t know if it was a psychological factor, but everyone really felt a little better after drinking it.
The frequency of continuous ice use also began to slowly increase again.
Qin Shiwu was amazed by the immediate effect of the miraculous healing technique.
Qin Shiwu, with his confidence greatly increased, boiled another decoction of thunder god vine after a rainstorm.
With the effect from last time, everyone was particularly active in taking the medicine this time.
Qin Shiwu couldn't help but mutter, "Did I learn Western medicine wrongly before? That's why God won't let me get my license? Shouldn't Traditional Chinese Medicine be my destiny?"
Jiang Muyun, known in the martial arts world as Master Jiang for his iron-tongued predictions, reached out to stop a gust of wind and looked up at the sky. "Divine Doctor, you'll have to wait a while. We need to let the diviner do some analysis first."
