Chapter 2152 Give Up
The patriarch was very enthusiastic. Knowing that Zhou Man and his men would stay here for a few days to teach them the medical skills of treating smallpox before leaving, the patriarch became even more enthusiastic and immediately decided that they should stay here for the time being.
He also asked people to bring out several tents and set them up for them to live in.
When Yin Huo and others kept looking at their cattle and horses, they asked the herdsmen to take them to see them.
Bai Shan nodded slightly to Yin Huo, and after they left, he turned to ask the tribe leader, "I wonder if the antelope we want..."
The tribe leader immediately said, "They found the herd of wild sheep yesterday and have been keeping an eye on them. They will definitely go to the pond to drink water today, and we can catch them then."
Bai Shan then nodded in satisfaction.
Manbao took Gulu to teach, which was actually just to find someone to examine him and ask him what kind of pulse he could feel.
Gu Lu's heart was in his throat, and he felt even more nervous than when he was a child under the previous witch teacher.
He... naturally made no progress.
Zhou Liru followed beside him and couldn't help but look at Gu Lu. The man's face looked sallow, and it was obvious that he had either a gastrointestinal disease or a liver disease. After asking about his usual diet and taking his pulse, he should be able to diagnose the disease, right?
Gu Lu had given up and said, "Miss Zhou, how about I choose four people to learn from you?"
Manbao asked, "Do they know about pharmacology?"
Gu Lu nodded, "They all learned from me."
Although he only had two apprentices, there were many other children around him who followed him to learn before he officially decided on them. They were selected from a group of children.
And he also has to teach the tribe members how to collect herbs. These children have learned to identify herbs from him, so... they should know about pharmacology, right?
Anyway, Gulu was certain they knew, so he called his two disciples over. Seeing that they were still missing two, he asked, "Where are Ayi Na and Agu Gu?"
"Aina went to herd sheep, and Agugu went to look for her."
As soon as Manbao heard this, she decided to wait for them. Coincidentally, she went back last night to get medicine for the patient she saw yesterday.
Especially these kids with worms in their stomachs.
Manbao looked at Zhou Liru.
Zhou Liru took out the bundle from the medicine basket. Inside were four packets of medicine, one of which was particularly large. She handed the medicine to one of them and said, "This is anthelmintic medicine. How many children are there in your tribe? Bring a large pot of water and boil it for an hour. Give each child under sixteen a bowl of it."
Manbao almost spit out the milk tea she had just drunk when she heard this. She glared at Zhou Liru and said, "This is enough medicine for eight people."
She said, "Even if there are many children here who need deworming, we can't boil the medicine in a large pot of water all at once. We should boil enough for eight people first, then add water and boil it a second and third time, then mix the mixture for them to drink. If it's not enough, we can just make a few more doses."
Zhou Liru scratched his head. This was how they made the medicine when they were in a hurry during the smallpox epidemic. But there was no rush now, so Zhou Liru agreed anyway.
Seeing that the person who received the medicine was mumbling something and seemed to have forgotten something, she simply went with him to boil the medicine. She watched them add water and firewood, and told them to boil it for half an hour. Then she turned around and went back to find her aunt.
Aina and Agugu had already arrived. They were both about thirteen or fourteen years old, much older than Gulu's two disciples. As soon as they arrived, they knelt on the ground to greet Gulu, and then kowtowed to Zhou Man.
Manbao couldn't help but glance at Gulu, and seeing that he didn't seem to care, he raised his hand to let them get up.
She could see their feet as soon as she lowered her head. Both of their shoes were a little worn, and Aguya's toes were exposed.
Manbao lowered his eyes, and after a moment he raised his head with a smile and looked at them, his eyes sweeping over their fingernails.
"Do you know medical knowledge?"
Agugu couldn't help but glance at Gulu, then said, "We learned to identify herbs from Wu, so we know a little."
Manbao didn't tell them that it was pharmacology, not medical theory. Instead, he pointed to a blanket beside him and said, "Sit down. I'll tell you about the pulse of smallpox."
She paused here and simply asked, "Have you ever seen a smallpox patient?"
The four of them nodded together. Many people in their tribe had contracted smallpox a few months ago.
"So what are the smallpox patients you've seen like?" Manbao pointed at Ayina and said, "You go first."
Ayi Na thought for a moment and said, "People will break out in a lot of pox, have fevers, vomit, become weak, and even die."
Manbao nodded and began to explain to them in detail how smallpox broke out...
The four of them listened very carefully. Although her Huyu was not very good, the five of them could still communicate well. Moreover, Zhou Liru was there. Even if Manbao couldn't remember how to say some words for the time being, Zhou Liru could quickly take over.
So one person teaching and four students soon became two people teaching and four students.
Wu sat for a while and found that these were all things he already knew. He thought that they would not be able to learn new things so quickly, so he got up and left.
Bai Shan was talking to the chief outside the tent. When he saw him come out, the two of them looked at each other and stood together to talk. The chief made an excuse and left first.
Mr. Zhuang and his companions were a little slower, but not by much. They arrived soon, and then the outside became bustling with people welcoming the new guests.
Neither the clan leader nor the witch had expected that there would be so many people in their caravan, and some of them had evil auras, and it was obvious at first glance that they were not ordinary caravan guards.
The patriarch arranged them on the other side, a little separated from their tents, but not obviously, just with a smaller gap in the middle.
Manbao also opened the curtain and walked out of the tent. Coincidentally, she felt that the light in the tent was a little dim, so she turned to the four people and said, "Let's go outside. It's a good opportunity for you to check my pulse."
The four agreed.
So Manbao took them around the camp. She looked at people's faces, picked a few at random and asked them to look at them, and taught them how to identify pulses little by little.
She already knew that those who claimed to know medical principles actually only knew some medicinal herbs and did not know much about medical principles at all.
So I still have to teach from scratch.
However, taking a pulse is not something that can be learned overnight. Although she thought it was not very difficult, they should be prepared that they might not be able to learn it even after a few days. So Manbao taught them while writing down the pulse conditions they should remember and gave it to them later.
After looking at it for a while, Ayi Na said, "Miss Zhou, we can't read."
Manbao paused, and she became distressed. "You don't know Chinese characters, so do you know Turkic characters?"
Ayina paused and looked at Agugu.
Aguya, "I know some."
Manbao said, "Then I'll tell you later and you can write it down. That way, if you can't remember it later, you can refer to the notes."
Aguya agreed.
Bai Shan came over at some point and said to Man Baodao in Chinese, "I just found out that this little girl was once a witch of the next generation, but she made a mistake last year."
Good night
