Chapter 041 The medicine cures the disease
Li Tie beckoned Lu Xuan to come sit over. He glanced at his delirious grandson and sighed, "Almost all the children under ten in the village have a fever. We don't have a doctor in the village. Even if we go down the mountain to find one now..."
It would take at least half a day to get down the mountain from here. There was no guarantee that we would be able to find a doctor even when we got to the bottom of the mountain, and we didn’t know if the children could hold on.
In the past, if a child in the village had a high fever, it was a very dangerous thing. If the fever could not be reduced in time, it could be fatal at best, or even turn the child into a fool at best.
"Ah Xuan, Xiaofu and Xiuxiu from the Zhang family also have a fever." Lu Qing and Lei Yan, who were on their way to Zhang's house, came over and said with a worried look on their faces.
Lu Chen grabbed Lu Xuan's collar and said with red eyes: "Brother, can you save Xiaofu?"
Li Tie took a deep breath and said earnestly, "Ah Xuan, can you please ask the gods to give us some medicine? As long as it can save the children in the village, we are willing to pay any price!"
Lu Xuan started a live broadcast on the way here.
There weren't many people watching the live broadcast in the morning, only a few hundred thousand. These people couldn't help but sigh when they saw the villagers frowning because of a minor fever.
Every time I see ancient people suffering from a fever, looking as if they were about to die, I feel how fortunate I am to live in a technologically advanced society.
[It doesn't seem like someone is going to die. In ancient times, fever could actually kill people!]
[The family of an ancient streamer I used to follow died of a fever before he linked his live streaming system. After linking the system, the streamer has always regretted not linking it earlier. I guess this knot in his heart will never be untied in this life.]
I have a favorite anchor. His immediate family is fine, but some of his more distant relatives have died from fever. Sigh.
【Luckily these people have a host! 】
[That's right! Didn't the anchor win a lot of household medicines in the blind box yesterday?]
Even if you don’t win the blind box, household medicines are the first medicines to be unlocked in the medical category. Even a minor fever can be easily cured!
Faced with the Li family's expectations, yet they didn't dare to expect too much, fearing that he would be embarrassed and even more afraid that the gods would see their anxious and speechless contradictions, Lu Xuan, as the audience had guessed, calmly said, "Don't worry, I have the medicine, and it won't cost much."
"Really?!" The Li family members were surprised.
Lu Xuan nodded and took out the medicine box he had drawn yesterday. He found the antipyretic medicine and read the instructions. He poured a pill from the bottle and handed it to Wu Yinyin, "Feed it to the child. Take it with water."
Wu Yinyin looked at the small white pill in her palm that she had never seen before, and subconsciously looked at her parents-in-law.
Miao Jinfeng urged, "Don't just look at it. This is medicine given by the gods. Feed it to my eldest grandson quickly."
Li Tie handed the unfinished boiled water from last night to his daughter-in-law, "Hey!"
Wu Yinyin no longer hesitated. She gently lifted her son's head, stuffed the medicine into his mouth, and fed him water.
Although Li Kangbao was unconscious due to the fever, he subconsciously swallowed the food that entered his mouth.
The Li family members breathed a sigh of relief. Li Tie asked Lu Xuan, "How long will it take for this medicine to take effect? How many days do I need to take it?"
Lu Xuan said, "It won't take several days. One tablet is enough. The fever will subside in no more than a cup of tea."
The Li family was shocked. Li Jing's eyes widened as he asked, "So fast!?"
In fact, the effect of Star's medicine is faster and more profound than Lu Xuan said.
However, after a dozen or so breaths, Li Kangbao's breathing became noticeably steadier, and his frown gradually relaxed.
After about five minutes, the fever completely subsided. Li Kangbao, with a slight blush still on his face, even began to snore softly.
Li Tie exclaimed in amazement: "The effect of this medicine is too fast, it is worthy of being a magic medicine!"
Miao Jinfeng burst into tears of joy. "It's good that the fever is gone, it's good that it's gone! Ah Xuan, thank you so much!"
Lu Xuan: "I'll go check on the Zhang family. Oh, by the way, Village Chief, you can give these medicines to other families. Just give each person one pill, just like Li Kangbao."
He also gave some to Lu Qing and Lei Yan, so that everyone could work more efficiently if they split up.
The same process followed when they arrived at the Zhang family: giving medicine, reducing fever, and exclamations. Old Mr. Zhang was so excited that he burst into tears on the spot. Zhang Chengming was even more happy and kept patting Lu Xuan's shoulders, expressing his gratitude incoherently.
Lu Xuan waved his hand and said, "Alright, I still have to deliver medicine to other families, so there's no need to say thank you."
Because Lu Chen was worried about Zhang Dafu and Zhang Xiaofu, he stayed at Zhang's house, and Lu Xuan went to Wei Xiang's house next door to Zhang's house alone.
Her daughter Wei Yunyun is only three years old this year. She is shy by nature and young, so it is inevitable that she will get frightened and fall ill.
Wei Xiang and Jiang Fan saw with their own eyes that their daughter's complexion quickly returned to normal after taking the medicine, and the couple were extremely excited.
"Thank you so much!" Jiang Fan, a fair and handsome man, had a face full of gratitude.
Wei Xiang also sincerely thanked Lu Xuan several times, then took Jiang Fan's hand and whispered to comfort her, "Don't worry now. We Yunyun are lucky people, and we will definitely be able to watch her grow up safely."
Jiang Fan nodded with red eyes, "Yes! You and my daughter must stay with me, and dad too, our family must be fine!"
Lame Father Wei looked at his little granddaughter, as well as his loving daughter and son-in-law, with red eyes, feeling quite relieved. He turned to Lu Xuan and said, "You saved our entire family's lives when the earth dragon turned over two days ago, and you saved Yunyun this time. I really don't know how to thank you enough."
Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, the audience in the live broadcast room, who had been reluctant to make jokes, started to make fun of it.
[I have to say, Wei Xiang's husband really does look like a pretty boy. He's so clean and fair that he doesn't look like a country boy at all.]
[Isn't it usually the man in charge who comforts his wife in this situation? But the Wei family did the opposite and even asked Wei Xiang to comfort him.]
[He was even wiping his daughter's sweat, and the feeling of being a husband came over him.]
【Husband, my love! 】
[The remarks above are a bit dangerous.]
【Jiang·Married man·Fang, danger! 】
Lu Xuan ignored Hu Kan in the live broadcast room and went to the house next to the Wei family, which was Xiong Mao's house.
Xiong Mao was a little scared when he saw Lu Xuan, worried that he would deliberately cause trouble or make things difficult for him, but Lu Xuan didn't say anything extra and only talked about the effects of the medicine.
Su Ying didn't want to show off at this moment. After taking the pill, she quickly fed it to her son without any hesitation or doubt.
Xiong Mao saw his son's heavy breathing gradually subside, and muttered, "Thank you."
Lu Xuan accepted it calmly and went to the next one.
After a round of rounds, Lu Xuan found that the children did have a fever after being frightened, but the condition of the elderly was a little different.
Some of them were really frightened because they were weak, and some suffered from mild heatstroke because it was too hot yesterday.
This is the result of them always being active under the shade of trees. Once they leave the Giant Tree Square, even if there are many trees in the mountains to provide shade, the probability of heatstroke will continue to increase as the temperature continues to soar.
Although the villagers had long believed what Lu Xuan said about the disaster period, apart from having experienced the major earthquake, they had no real sense of the other things.
It was not until the third day in the mountains that the temperature was already so high that I truly realized that the so-called disaster period was not a one or two shocking natural disasters, but a continuous, long-term disaster.
Fortunately, they listened to Lu Xuan and went into the mountains. They couldn't imagine what kind of cruel situation they would face if they were in the original plains.
No, perhaps many of the other people who survived the earthquake and did not think of going into the mountains are already experiencing disasters that they cannot imagine.
The villagers became more and more frightened when they thought of this.
There were several elders who stubbornly refused to believe in the so-called disaster period before the earthquake and who were still grumbling about it privately on the day of the earthquake. This time they were completely speechless with Lu Xuan.
They are stubborn, but not incapable of distinguishing right from wrong. They have firmly remembered the kindness shown this time, including the kindness shown by the earthquake. Not only have they never said a bad word about Lu Xuan since then, but when other disaster victims question Lu Xuan in the future, they will be the first to stand up and talk them back.
·
There are many sick people, and even if the fever has subsided, their family members are still worried.
The members of the exploration team, who had been excited for most of the night, were in no mood to go out exploring and hunting. They all wanted to wait until their children or elders woke up before observing, so the exploration activities were forced to be postponed to the afternoon.
After Lu Chen came out of the Zhang family's curtained room and returned to the Lu family, his expression was a little puzzled and a little proud.
"I used to think all the children in the village were in good health, especially Xiong Dabao. I didn't expect that all of them would be sick this time. I counted them and I was the only one under ten who was not sick."
Lu Chen's face was filled with self-absorption, a look of "I'm so amazing!"
Lu Xuan raised his eyebrows and looked at him, thinking to himself, you didn't get sick because I fed you calming candy on the first night, otherwise there would be one more person with a fever today.
However, the little guy looked quite cute with his proud look, so Lu Xuan did not point it out.
It was only at Lu Chen's reminder that he got some tranquilizers for the village chief and asked him to make a few pots of water for everyone in the village to drink.
Just because an adult doesn't have a fever doesn't mean they don't have any psychological trauma. If everyone drinks a cup, everyone can feel at ease. They are all indispensable members of the family. If the pillar of the family suddenly falls, it won't be much better than if something happens to a child.
After distributing all the tranquilizing potions, Li Tie breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked Lu Xuan about the price.
Li Tie said worriedly, "Such a useful medicine must be very expensive. I wonder if we can afford it."
It seemed that he had forgotten what Lu Xuan had said before that it didn't cost too much, or maybe he thought that Lu Xuan was just comforting him. It was no exaggeration to say that this medicine was a miracle drug, so how could it not cost much?
Lu Xuan said casually, "Just give me five kilograms of food for each dose of medicine."
Li Tie was stunned and said, "So little? How can this be possible! Even before the disaster, medical treatment was not cheap. A sick family would spend hundreds of coins, and more serious cases would even cost several taels of silver. Five catties of grain can't even cost twenty coins. It's too cheap."
Lu Xuan said, "This medicine is very effective for us, but for immortals, it's just an ordinary thing and not expensive. Five kilograms of food will be enough."
Li Tie didn't quite believe it: "Really?"
Although he didn't know how much Lu Xuan would have to pay the immortal to exchange for the medicine, he only wanted five kilograms of food, so there would definitely be no profit.
Li Tie couldn't help but wonder: "Could it be that you subsidized it yourself?"
Lu Xuan: “?”
Do I look like the Holy Father?
A set of household medicine costs 100 points. In addition to antipyretics, it also contains antidiarrheals, digestives, analgesics, stomach medicine, etc., a total of ten kinds of medicine. Each kind of medicine contains thirty tablets, which means that ten points can buy a bottle of medicine.
Ten points are only enough to buy a nutritional supplement that will keep you full for a day.
One nutrient supplement in exchange for five kilograms of food, his asking price is not low.
Because of Lu Xuan's insistence, Li Tie finally had no choice but to accept this low price.
After Li Tie informed every household of the news, he gathered the food and delivered it as quickly as possible.
Lu Xuan did not mention the tranquilizer, but Li Tie felt that they could not ignore it. In addition to those families whose elderly and children had fever, those who took tranquilizers were also asked to send an extra five kilograms of food to each family.
Without even having breakfast, Lu Xuan had already earned more than 200 kilograms of food.
Lu Xuan: What the audience said before makes a lot of sense. Maybe he really doesn't need to stock up so much food in advance. At least there is no need to buy coarse grains. He has made a net profit of a thousand kilograms in just three days in the mountains, which is more than enough for him to eat.
After the medicine was divided and the food was taken, the four people from the Lu family returned to the cave to prepare breakfast.
Just when they finished eating, the village chief, Mr. Zhang, Li Jing, and Zhang Chengming came over together.
