Chapter 202 Medicines
In the Tupa tribe camp on the continent of Zhu, inside a spacious tent.
Ever since he acquired the language of the devil, Capac has been staying in the tent, rummaging through his collection wooden boxes. He eagerly read the words on the collections in the boxes, curious about their effects.
Capac was fascinated by the various exquisite handicrafts. Looking at these interesting and convenient products, he felt a sense of admiration for the wisdom of the invaders. Although their actions were hateful, their advanced technology was desirable.
'It would be great if one day the tribes could also make these exquisite things. Not only would we be able to fight against the invaders, but we would also be able to live and develop better.'
Looking through the items in the box, Capak thought to himself that he had spent the entire afternoon sitting in front of the box fiddling with the collection inside.
Just as Capac continued to examine his collection, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside the tent. Hearing the footsteps, Capac hurriedly put all the scattered things back into the wooden box. Just as he closed the lid of the wooden box, the curtain of the tent was lifted, and a bearded, strong, and anxious tribal man appeared at the door.
"Baru? What's the matter that requires so much urgency?" Kapak, who had just packed his things, asked curiously at the panicked man at the door, while the other party answered after taking a few breaths.
"Hoo...Hoo...Shangya, Shangya has red stripe disease. She is very weak now. The shaman said she may not survive the next night."
"What?! Take me with you!"
After listening to Baru's words, Kapak stood up and walked out of the tent with Baru. After walking for a while in the camp with various tents, they finally came to a larger tent. Several people were standing at the door of the tent.
Walking into the tent, Capak saw that many people had gathered inside. They were all gathered around the floor mat in the middle of the tent, looking at the scene anxiously. Over there, a tribal woman was holding a girl about ten years old in her arms with tears in her eyes.
At this time, the girl in the woman's arms looked weak, covered in sweat, breathing heavily, and seemed to have a fever. She was in a semi-comatose state, and her skin was covered with red streaks of varying depths.
Looking at the situation in front of him, Capak's heart tightened, and then he asked the woman.
"Aunt Momma...Shangya, this is..."
"It's red stripe disease... The shaman has tried his best, but there is no way. This is not a disease caused by evil spirits, and ordinary herbs are useless. The shaman said that everything can only be done according to the will of the great soul. It depends on her. But you know that Shangya is so young, it is impossible for her to survive."
The woman spoke to Capac in a choking voice. Capac's heart sank after hearing this, and his expression became as solemn as the people around him.
Red streak disease is a disease that the tribesmen in this land have been prone to since ancient times. The cause of the disease is unknown. Once infected, red streaks will appear on the body, and the person will become weak and feverish, and may even fall into a coma. It has a high mortality rate.
When middle-aged tribesmen contract this disease, they can rely on their physical strength to survive, but when the elderly and children contract this disease, it is almost impossible to save them.
In this land, there are many diseases caused by evil spirits. Such diseases can be solved by asking a shaman to expel the evil spirits. However, there are many diseases that are not caused by evil spirits. At this time, the shaman can only rely on some herbs to treat them, but the effect is limited. For example, the current disease cannot be cured by herbs.
According to past experience, Shangya's current condition is no different from waiting to die. Everyone present has been plunged into a sad atmosphere. This is not the first time they have experienced such a thing. Every year, a certain number of members of the tribe die from this disease.
After getting a general understanding of Shangya's current situation, Kapak was suddenly extremely depressed. He and members of the surrounding tribes lowered their heads and looked at the little girl who was tortured by the disease. In the face of this disease, they could do nothing but mourn in silence.
Amid the sobbing of the woman, the scene was solemn. Capak recalled the lively appearance of the girl in the past, his heart filled with sorrow. Then suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and an idea suddenly flashed in his mind.
"Aunt Momma, wait a moment, Shangya may still be saved, I'll be there soon!" Capac said to the crowd around him, and then amid everyone's puzzled gazes, Capac rushed out of the tent.
Galloping through the camp, Capak ran back to his tent, and then began to rummage in his wooden box. After searching for a while, he found a small glass bottle containing a bottle of white pills.
Taking the glass bottle in his hand, Capak looked at the label on the bottle, which had the name of the pills and instructions for use written on it.
"Alomecil tablets, produced by Tivian Corbett Pharmaceuticals, a special medicine for the red scar fever in the continent..."
"Red Scar Fever of the Continent... Could this be the Red Line Disease..." Kapak muttered as he looked at the instructions on the medicine bottle. Then he carefully looked at the symptom description on the medicine bottle and found that some of the symptoms were consistent with those of the Red Line Disease. He also knew that the Continent in the invaders' language referred to the land where he lived.
"It could really be the red stripe disease, a disease that no tribe has been able to cure since ancient times. How could those invaders produce a cure in just a few decades?"
Taking the medicine bottle in his hand, Capak murmured in disbelief. However, the current situation did not allow him to think too much. After looking at the dosage, he poured two tablets from the bottle, then rushed out of his tent and came back to Shangya's tent.
"Aunt Muma, give this to Shangya to eat."
Coming to the woman, Capak handed the pills to her and said, while the woman's expression revealed a hint of doubt.
"Capac...what is this?"
"This is a herbal powder made by a wandering shaman I met before. He said it is effective for red vein disease. You can try it."
Capac said this because of the viciousness of the invaders, the tribesmen had a sense of rejection towards industrial products other than guns, so Capac did not dare to tell the truth for the time being.
"Really? Then let's give it a try..."
Hearing Kapak's words, Muma, who had been in despair for a while, took the pills, and then gave it to the semi-conscious Shangya to take as a try, and then gave her some water to drink.
After that, Capac waited in the tent with many other people for more than two hours.
During these two hours, the breathing of the girl in the woman's arms gradually became calmer, the red marks on her body became lighter, her body temperature began to drop, and she fell into a comfortable sleep.
Seeing this scene, everyone in the audience showed surprised expressions, and the woman looked at Kapak in front of her with surprise.
"Great soul, this is so amazing, Capac, your medicine really works! Thank you so much, Capac, your medicine really works! It's you who saved my Shangya!"
The woman excitedly expressed her gratitude to Capak, and the people around who were watching all this began to whisper to each other in disbelief, discussing the magical scene before them.
"Hey, Capac, you are really amazing, you can even cure diseases..."
"Even the shamans are powerless against this red stripe disease, but this kid's medicine is actually effective..."
"Capac! Do you still have your medicine?"
