Chapter 28 Getting Along
…
Time flies, and seven days have passed in the blink of an eye.
Thanks to Mu Jiao's meticulous care, Huo Qi's injuries have almost healed. Interstellar humans have much better physical constitutions, so Huo Qi's recovery speed is incredibly fast for such a serious injury. In his previous life, he would have to stay in bed for at least three months, but now Huo Qi's wounds have completely healed and he can walk around.
Over the past two days, he had helped Mu Jiao hunt, pick herbs, hang them up, and even learned how to prepare some simple herbal remedies. Mu Jiao thought that in his previous life, he would definitely be considered a very talented apprentice.
Unlike others, Huo Qi showed great curiosity about the strange herbs and roots that could suppress the onset of his gene collapse syndrome and heal his injuries, and he was also interested in learning how to prepare medicinal herbs.
Mu Jiao did not hide her treatment methods from Huo Qi. She explained to him the uses of these herbs and how she processed them to make medicinal foods and powders.
She used the excuse that she had accidentally picked up an ancient book about plants, and although she couldn't find it later, she was very interested in the plant therapy recorded in the ancient book, so she did some research and learned some strange ancient medical skills.
Huo Qi didn't doubt Mu Jiao's statement. Firstly, if he hadn't personally experienced this ancient herbal medicine, he wouldn't have believed it could actually be so effective. Secondly, even if this ancient book really existed, he would probably have dismissed it as ancient feudal superstition.
I'm afraid Jiaojiao is the only one who believes in it so firmly and is willing to learn.
…
"Jiaojiao's Bichon seems to like eating the herbs that Jiaojiao mentioned." Huo Qi started chatting with Mu Jiao in a gentle voice.
"Yes, these prepared medicinal herbs are the little guy's favorite snacks. But you can only feed it a fixed amount, after all, this little guy doesn't want to stop eating." Mu Jiao looked at Meng Meng who was holding a big bowl and eating snacks beside her, and remembered the glorious deed of it stealing and eating a lot of angelica that she had dried some time ago, and she couldn't help but smile and said.
As expected, Huo Qi felt that he seemed to have found a big breakthrough.
Could it be that the reason why Bichon Frise's blood can suppress the onset of gene collapse disease and even has the effect of treating gene collapse disease is that it eats the "medicines" mentioned by Jiaojiao?
Could it be that these strange herbs and roots are actually the ones that can truly cure gene collapse syndrome?
Huo Qi was deeply shocked.
In Mu Jiao's view, traditional Chinese medicine is a profound and extensive medical culture, and is the essence of China's 5,000 years of medical civilization.
In her previous life, Mu Jiao studied Traditional Chinese Medicine for four years, and after graduation, she chose to research Chinese herbal medicine. As a graduate of a Chinese medicine university, she'd only learned the basics of the vast and profound TCM culture. She still had much to learn and understand.
What's more, among today's interstellar humans, there are very few who are curious about and supportive of the traditional Chinese medicine she is researching, like Brother Huo Qi. This is the result of her personally suppressing his illness with medicinal food and curing his external injuries with medicinal powder.
The reaction of most interstellar humans is still to regard her as a weirdo, just like the dean's aunt.
In fact, most unprocessed herbs contain various harmful toxins, and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is very particular about the proportions of herbs. Whether it is a bitter herb or a delicious medicinal food, even a little more or less of the herbs will not work. If the herbs are not properly proportioned, the effect will be ineffective at best, and even life-threatening at worst.
In this technologically advanced age, no one would be willing to take the risk of trying a treatment that seems like ancient superstition.
Mu Jiao thought that if she and Brother Huo Qi were lucky enough to return to the Federation, she would like to ask his opinion to see if he would be willing to try to cure Genetic Collapse Syndrome through Traditional Chinese Medicine experiments.
Thinking of this, Mu Jiao asked Huo Qi, who was arranging and drying angelica root:
"Brother Huo Qi, if we can return to the Federation in the future, do you have time to go to Planet G2563? To be honest, you are the first person I have tried using medicinal herbs to treat you, and I found that these prepared herbs do have the effect of suppressing gene collapse syndrome, so I want to try to study whether these herbs can completely cure gene collapse syndrome."
"...Are you willing to help me cure my genetic breakdown syndrome??"
Huo Qi was a little surprised to hear Mu Jiao's words. You know, nowadays, an ordinary light therapist is sought after.
I don’t know how many patients with gene collapse would pay a high price in exchange for a treatment opportunity from a light therapist in order to live a few more years and relieve pain.
Moreover, he had already personally been saved by her treatment, and he knew clearly that compared to the light-based treatments he had previously received, which only treated the symptoms but not the root cause, Mu Jiao's medicinal diet was actually more effective and faster. In fact, these days, he even felt as if his body was slowly recovering.
In the past, after receiving light therapy, the body's genetic chains seemed to be stitched together, remaining normal for a short period of time. However, the next time, they would break even more quickly. It was as if the genetic chains in the body had been stitched together countless times, becoming increasingly broken with each stitch.
But things were different during this period. If light therapy was like mending, then these herbs were, yes, reshaping and restoring. Although the effects were slow...
But this silly kid actually asked her in a pleading tone whether he was willing to try her treatment.
"Well, although I'm not very sure, I think these herbs do seem to have some effect on gene collapse disorder. If the right medicine can be used, maybe it can really be cured completely." Mu Jiao said uncertainly.
"Of course I am willing. I am ready to cooperate at any time now."
This silly kid...
"Thank you, Brother Huo Qi..."
"I should be the one thanking you. You not only saved me, but also gave me hope to live longer." Seeing Mu Jiao's happy face, Huo Qi couldn't help but laugh.
When the beauty smiled, Mu Jiao felt that everything around her became a background. Her heart couldn't help but pound. Oh, she was really a typical beauty lover...
Huo Qi had long since noticed that children loved his face, especially when he smiled. He loved seeing the children, often mesmerized by his smile. It was so cute, so beautiful, and it brought him great joy.
…
"Boss, at ten o'clock, five thousand miles away, there's a small, undeveloped natural star. It's sending out intermittent, weak pulse signals. Judging from the received pulse signals, they appear to be coming from the optical computers of fleeing enemy troops."
"Ha, this deserter must be a fool. He actually dares to surf the Internet using the Federation's optical computer~~"
"I'm afraid he's a new recruit."
"But our mission is to search for the whereabouts of the Second Prince..."
"Boss, it's not a search, we're not changing course. We're just dealing with an enemy, so it doesn't count as disobeying orders."
“…”
"You're right. Fifth Mecha Squad, take command. Our target is an undeveloped natural planet. Don't underestimate the enemy. Stay safe."
"yes."
"yes."
The danger here was rapidly approaching Mu Jiao, but Mu Jiao was completely unaware...
