So don't be fooled by Du Yuqi's impressive ability in saving people on the battlefield. He can be said to be able to snatch people from the hands of the god of death. Many people who were about to die were saved by him. But when he faced the baby Paul, he felt helpless, as if he was a mouse pulling a tortoise, and didn't know where to start.

"Forget it. No matter what, let's leave first. Don't underestimate the power of those bastards. They may find other ways to track down this kid! Staying here is definitely not a good idea."

Du Yuqi had an idea and left with the child in his arms. He came and went as he pleased and no one dared to stop him. After walking about three or four hundred meters, Du Yuqi pondered for a moment, then looked around in the light and found that there were baby clothes drying on the balcony of a nearby house. He quickly climbed up with the child in his arms and then climbed in without hesitation.

Faced with Du Yuqi, the uninvited guest, of course this family would come out to resist frantically, but it was of no use. Du Yuqi easily made them realize the gap in strength between the two sides, and then threw out a magic gold coin as a lure.

Under the policy of carrot and stick, the family had no choice but to meet any of Du Yuqi's demands.

Soon, little Paul began to lie on the bed, making slight wheezing sounds in his throat, which sounded similar to a dog barking. Although Du Yuqi could not diagnose the cause of the disease at this time, seeing how exhausted he looked, he knew it would be a good idea to give him a few bags of sugar and salt water to replenish his body fluids and energy.

After starting the infusion, Du Yuqi waved to the hostess and asked her to change the child's diaper and clean his body. This was why Du Yuqi chose a family with children's clothes outside. He couldn't do these things by himself, and even if he did, he would most likely be in a hurry and difficult to do because of the child's butt full of diarrhea.

After finishing all these, although the hostess was afraid of the infusion method that Du Yuqi had used, she still bravely gave little Paul some milk. However, he couldn't feed it at all and he vomited it out directly. At the same time, Du Yuqi found that the wheezing in little Paul's throat was getting stronger and stronger.

He was about to speak when he suddenly heard an explosion not far away, from the direction of the Ino Cathedral. He quickly walked to the window, lifted a corner of the curtain and looked into the distance. He immediately found that a raging fire had started there, and there was a big cyborg with flames spraying from his feet. He was hovering in the air and observing whether there were any fish that had escaped.

"...It's really like a maggot on the tarsal bone." Du Yuqi looked at all this with a sneer:

"It's a pity that you are too late. Even if you try to burn down the Ino Cathedral and leave no one alive, it is meaningless because the new Earl of Ratnes is lying in the cradle in front of me."

At this time, Du Yuqi called the host and hostess over again and asked them to look in the direction of the Ino Cathedral:

"I just came from there, so it has become a ruin now. So, if you don't want to become a charred corpse in the fire with your son, then it's best not to tell anyone that I have been here."

The faces of the host and hostess turned pale instantly, and they looked at Du Yuqi with fear in their eyes. The host even spoke incoherently:

"Of course, of course, you didn't show up here at all. When you leave, I will immediately throw Mr. Paul's changed diapers into the fireplace and burn them! The cradle he slept in can also be used as firewood."

Du Yuqi nodded and said:

"It's a wise choice. I have another piece of advice. If you are not in a hurry to use the money, it is best not to use the magic gold coins I gave you immediately. There should be no problem after a month."

At this time, little Paul made a series of violent coughing sounds, and even his whole body twitched. The coughing sounds became more and more like the barking of a dog. After hearing this very recognizable sound, two words suddenly flashed through Du Yuqi's mind!

A terrible chill immediately ran down his spine, as if a needle had pricked him hard under his butt. He jumped up, rushed to the cradle, roughly pried open the child's mouth, and shone the light inside.

The poor new Count Ratnes had no way to put up any resistance. The only protest he could make was to wave his hands weakly in the air in vain.

Then, Du Yuqi staggered, and then shook his head as if he felt dizzy. He held on to the wall beside him before he stood firm. He could clearly see that the deep part of little Paul's throat had turned completely white because the surface was covered with a strange white film.

This is the most typical sign of diphtheria.

On Earth, diphtheria was once a terrifying disease with large-scale and frequent outbreaks. There was an outbreak between 1735 and 1740, which was said to have caused 80% of the deaths of children under the age of 10 in some towns in New England! !

In the 1920s, there were 100,000 to 200,000 cases of diphtheria in the United States each year, and about 13,000 to 15,000 deaths. Children were the main patients and deaths. One of the most famous outbreaks occurred in Nome (a town in western Alaska, USA), where more than 3,000 children died of diphtheria! !

Diphtheria is highly contagious, and the toxins secreted by diphtheria bacteria are very strong, which can cause nerve paralysis and myocarditis. The condition worsens very quickly, so the fact that the new Count Ratnes has been able to hold on until now is enough to show that his health is better than his peers. Didn’t the nun say that four children who were sick with him have died?

No wonder the nun said that alchemical potions were ineffective! Because the essence of alchemical potions was to treat wounds, and they were not developed to treat highly infectious diseases. Although injuries and illnesses are often linked together, there is actually a fundamental difference in the treatment methods!

The specific drug that can curb diphtheria is penicillin. Du Yuqi also carries related drugs with him, and immediately puts them into the infusion bag and injects them into the child. However, the key to the problem is that even if all the diphtheria bacteria in his body are killed, the toxins secreted by these bacteria cannot be neutralized and are still working resolutely. At the same time, according to Du Yuqi's speculation, complications such as myocarditis and nerve paralysis are also beginning to appear...
