Gu Chengyan saw that Lin Jiuyue had finished what she was saying and spoke.
"There's one more thing. This girl in front of you is the one who provided the wound-healing pills to our barracks. You've seen that wound-healing medicine before, but it was out of stock in the barracks before. Now that we have it, your injuries will heal quickly."
When everyone in the tent heard Gu Chengyan's words, they looked at Lin Jiuyue in shock.
The medicine for treating external injuries is incredibly effective. If that medicine had been available before, the injuries of myself and others would not have lasted so long.
"General Gu, what did you say? You said she was the expert who provided trauma medicine to our barracks?"
Hearing these people calling him "experts", Lin Jiuyue smiled and waved his hand.
"I can't call myself an expert. I just know how to make some pills. These are things that are not presentable and don't deserve such praise."
Li Xing heard Lin Jiuyue admit it herself. He had been a little skeptical at first when she said she could guarantee the future of him and the others, but now he completely believed it.
"Girl, are you really an expert at making medicine for external injuries? If that's true, then can our injuries be cured?"
Lin Jiuyue curled the corners of her mouth.
The pills he made were only effective for external injuries, but were far from being able to regrow a severed arm.
Even if Hua Tuo were reborn, he wouldn't be able to do this.
However, Hua Tuo estimated that he could reattach Li Xing's arm.
"You're joking. My ability is far from enough to make my arm grow back."
Li Xing smiled indifferently.
"Haha, girl, I know my arm won't grow back. I'm talking about the injuries of the other brothers."
Many of the injured soldiers died not because of the severity of their wounds, but because of wound infection and excessive bleeding.
Some of the soldiers in the tent had wounds that had begun to become infected.
Lin Jiuyue frowned.
In this era, medical conditions are not well developed, and sometimes a small wound can take a person's life.
"Everyone's situation is different. I don't know what you're talking about, but I can research some antibiotics or even anesthetics. By then, the casualties among the soldiers will be greatly reduced."
After hearing Lin Jiuyue's words, everyone present except Lin Qiye looked at Lin Jiuyue with questioning expressions.
What are antibiotics? What are anesthetics? Why is this girl talking about things no one has ever heard of?
"Girl, what are these antibiotics you're talking about? And what are these anesthetics?"
When Lin Jiuyue heard this, she felt a little overwhelmed for a moment.
These people are just ordinary soldiers. Even if I explain it to them, they probably won't understand.
"Okay, okay, stop asking. We're not doctors. Even if the girl told us, we wouldn't understand. Once we figure it out, we'll know."
Seeing that Lin Jiuyue didn't explain, Li Xing took over the topic directly.
The purpose of Gu Chengyan's trip was to bring Lin Jiuyue to see the current situation of the injured soldiers in the army. Now that Lin Jiuyue has seen it, Gu Chengyan said a few words casually and took Lin Jiuyue back to his tent.
"Jiuyue, I just took you to see it. Now you know I'm not lying, right?"
Lin Jiuyue was silent.
I've never seen so many injured people before, not even in a 21st-century hospital. Seeing so many injured people all of a sudden, I'm really moved.
"You really didn't lie to me."
"Gu Chengyan, I think I should research those anesthetics and antibiotics."
Gu Chengyan was stunned after hearing this.
Just now in the injured tent, September mentioned something about antibiotics and anesthetics, but I didn't even know what those things were.
"September, what are these antibiotics you mentioned? Also, what are these anesthetics?"
Lin Jiuyue thought for a moment and spoke.
"Antibiotics are a class of drugs that can treat infectious pathogens caused by microscopic pathogens. They have both bacteriostatic and bactericidal effects. Even if I put it this way, you may still not understand."
"Simply put, when humans or animals are injured, the wound will heal, but at the same time, it can be infected with various pathogens. If we don't kill these pathogens, the wound is likely to worsen. In mild cases, the disease will not heal for a long time, and in severe cases, it may be life-threatening."
After listening to this, Gu Chengyan was still a little confused.
"What are germs?"
Lin Jiuyue: ...
How did I end up talking about Western medicine with an ancient person who knew nothing about it?
"Germs are invisible microorganisms. Although they are very small, they are extremely destructive and can threaten our lives."
Gu Chengyan smiled awkwardly.
"Haha, September, I don't understand what you said."
Lin Jiuyue nodded.
"That's normal. Everyone has their strengths and specialties. You haven't learned about it, so naturally you don't know."
"So what is this anesthetic you just mentioned? Is it the same medicine as the antibiotics you mentioned before?"
Lin Jiuyue nodded.
"Yes, anesthetics, when taken or injected into the human body, will produce an anesthetic effect. After anesthesia, even if you cut dozens of cuts on the human body, you won't feel any pain. It's similar to the effect of a knockout drug."
Gu Chengyan didn't know much about anesthetics, but he knew a little about knockout drugs.
"Jiuyue, can that anesthetic you mentioned really be made?"
Lin Jiuyue nodded.
"Yes, it can be made. However, anesthetics require a certain medicinal ingredient, which is also the most important medicinal ingredient for making anesthetics. I have never seen this medicinal ingredient in Nanyue, and I don't know if I can find it."
Lin Jiuyue frowned.
I don’t know if the Kingdom of Nanyue has opium. If not, it would not be so easy to make this anesthetic.
"What medicinal herbs? Tell me, I want to see if I have seen them before."
Lin Jiuyue thought about it.
"This herb is called opium, and it's addictive. If used well, it's a medicine, but if used poorly, it's a poison."
Medicine and pharmacy have been inseparable since ancient times. Most poisons can also be used to create antidotes, and opium poppy is no exception.
"poppy?"
After hearing this, Gu Chengyan frowned.
I had never even heard of the thing that Jiuyue was talking about, let alone knew about it.
"Yes, I don't know if there is such a thing in our Nanyue Kingdom. As far as I know, this thing was first discovered overseas. We don't have this plant in our Nanyue Kingdom yet."
When Gu Chengyan heard Lin Jiuyue's words, his brows frowned even deeper.
