Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 17 Water Virtue
Betel nuts have a peculiar shape.

Qiwei.

Astringent.

Bitter.

but
Although it is bitter, it is a good medicine for treating Gu insect disease, that is, schistosomiasis.

Sitting in front of the table, Qin Wangzheng looked at Xiao Zhinu holding a light yellow-brown fruit the size of a walnut in his hand.

"Cuckoo!"

The little childish slave peeled away the peel for Qin Wangzheng!

If it was an ordinary frog, Qin Wangzheng must have opened his eyes wide.

but.

Xiao Zhinu is extraordinary.

In Qin Wangzheng's view, a series of unimaginable operations have become commonplace.

After all, it is a beast.

Xiao Zhinu handed the fruit to Qin Wangzheng.

Qin Wangzheng was flattered.

Like a loving father receiving his son's first gift.

Qin Wangzheng picked up the fruit and smelled it, frowning.

The taste is a little whoosh.

Put it in your mouth and taste it.

It’s indeed a bit bitter!
Unlike tea, it is bitter first and then sweet.

Betel nut is bitter to the end, until you shed tears.

Qin Wangzheng almost spat out
But Xiao Zhinu would not harm him, so he could only bear the bitterness and suppress the fruit.

Although Qin Wangzheng has read the whole book, he really doesn't know this kind of fruit.

Of course, it is not that Qin Wangzheng is ignorant.

But this kind of fruit is produced in Australia.

A few days ago, the young slave went to the land of Baiyue, thinking that Poria cocos could effectively eradicate schistosomiasis.

But the curative effect of Poria cocos is not good.
It can only be slightly relieved, and the schistosomiasis cannot be removed.

Therefore, Xiao Zhinu uses the system to teleport himself to the other side of the ocean.

Just started.

The local aborigines even wanted to kill the young slaves.

Fortunately, the little child slave ran fast and was saved from death.

In his spare time, Xiao Zhinu picked some betel nuts locally.

A full fifty stone.

Enough to deal with this crisis!

[Ding, congratulations to the host for getting fifty stones of betel nuts! 】

Betel nut.
The corner of Qin Wangzheng's mouth curled up.
Xiao Zhinu is worthy of being a god descending from the earth
Just don't know what's the use?

Qin Wangzheng clicked on the explanation of the system panel.

Betel nut has the effects of eliminating accumulation, promoting qi and diuresis
Dispelling accumulation means digesting food and eliminating accumulation, promoting qi means unblocking qi and blood, diuresis means diuresis and detoxification.

More importantly, it can repel insects!

Certainly not a literal pesticide
Instead, remove the parasites in the body!

Qin Wangzheng's eyes lit up immediately, this betel nut is really a traditional Chinese medicine!

It's just that betel nuts can keep you healthy
Why does the lonely king know nothing?
Could it be that the childish slave begged the gods to get it?

Qin Wangzheng didn't know, so he attributed the fruit to the gods, thinking that it was the will of heaven.
The current epidemic is raging
Just in time for betel nuts!
While he was talking, the servant came to report: "Your Majesty, please see me."

Qin Wangzheng's face turned cold, and he announced him into the palace reluctantly.

Xia Wuji cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I have been looking through ancient books for several days and finally found a cure for the worm disease."

Qin Wangzheng glanced at Xia Wuqie.

Looking at Xia Wu's extremely firm eyes, he probably wasn't lying.
Qin Wangzheng waved his hand and said: "The lonely king has read all the books, but he couldn't find a cure for Gu worm disease. Why did you find it?"

This sudden torture of the soul
Xia Wuqi, who was pretending to be calm, became flustered.

Xia Wuqi was stunned and said: "This"

Seeing that Xia Wu and couldn't answer, Qin Wangzheng was disappointed, so he turned around and asked, "Tell me, how to heal?"

Xia Wuqi cupped his hands and said: "I know the way of healing, it's just that."

Xia Wuju subconsciously looked up at Qin Wangzheng's facial expression.
Qin Wangzheng yelled: "Say it quickly! The lonely king doesn't like people who are indecisive!"

Xia Wuqi said lightly: "It will take three more days."

Three more days?

Qin Wangzheng was stunned for a moment, then frowned, and shouted: "Presumptuous! If you delay for a quarter of an hour, hundreds or even thousands of people will die from Gu insect disease!"

Qin Wangzheng's only glimmer of hope for Xia Wu disappeared.
then
Qin Wangzheng called Lang Wei and made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Because of the existence of Xiao Zhinu, Qin Wangzheng did not speak directly.

I'm afraid that the word "death" will frighten the little child
The two Lang guards understood Qin Wangzheng's intention and dragged Xia Wuqie out of the hall.

Xia Wuju knelt down in embarrassment and begged for mercy, but Qin Wangzheng didn't pay any attention.

incompetent person
only to die!
let alone ignorant people
Qin Wangzheng turned his back and saw that the palace door was merely closed.
Xia Wu's heart-piercing screams came from outside the door.
The little childish slave was jumping around, playing in the hall.

And the betel nut in the hands of the little child
Can save people in distress.

Betel nut has a unique medicinal effect and can eliminate schistosomes from the body.
then
Qin Wangzheng can then order to transport the betel nuts brought by Xiaozhinu to the surrounding area of ​​Xianyang, beside the Weishui River.

of course.

Qin Wangzheng also kept a part in the palace to prevent future troubles.

that's it.
Betel nuts, which should have been introduced in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, were born hundreds of years earlier in the Qin Dynasty
just
At this time, betel nuts are not only for eating, but for fighting schistosomiasis.

This made the people see hope one after another, and they are grateful to the current king.

And the other side.

The doctor ordered Wang Jian to find a black lacquer box without patterns on the bank of the Weishui River.

The lacquer box was covered with water, and the water was sprinkled with rice.

look.
Some people use lacquerware to keep pets.

as for black
The Qin State respected the virtue of water.

The water is black and represents the immensity.

Therefore, the kings of Qin in the past dynasties wore black Xuanyi.

In common people's homes, clothing, tableware, and wine utensils are not allowed to be black.

Therefore, the Qin people can be ruled out.

The millet in the water is rough and difficult to chew.

It is brown rice produced in the land of Jingchu.

The water inside the lacquerware is yellowish and somewhat viscous.

Explain that the water was not changed during the pet feeding period.
The water is more than three months old.

According to these clues, follow the clues and search step by step.

Three suspects were finally identified.

But two of them were businessmen. Although they were not from Chu, their water skills were not good, let alone they knew nothing about snails.

As for the final murderer, there was only one person who became the doorman of the mansion.

After receiving the acquiescence of Qin Wangzheng, Wang Jian led Lang Zhongling's army into Chengyu's mansion.

But who knows.
In front of the door beam of Chengxi Mansion.

There is a head hanging on the neck of the New Year.

Cheng Yu's servant explained to Wang Jian bit by bit.

The content is roughly as follows: Many days ago, Nian was sneaking around, and Cheng Xiu felt something was wrong, so he sent people to follow him. When Nian took advantage of the night to poison the Weishui River, Cheng Xiu's slaves swarmed up and captured Nian. Afterwards, Nian refused to explain and returned. Suicide!

The servant did not forget to flatter Cheng Xun at the end, saying that Cheng Xun was wise and powerful, and had great strategies, and saw through the spy's plot.

Wang Jian's left ear went in and his right ear went out.

Afterwards, he reported the situation to the palace.

I heard that there were spies among the guests who came to Qin.
Qin Wangzheng's face immediately darkened.

It seems that not all those who came to join King Qin were friendly
Therefore, when Qin Wangzheng employs another person, he will carefully check the identity of the person and be careful everywhere.

Don't want something like this to happen again.

The treatment of schistosomiasis in the surrounding areas of Xianyang went well.
A disaster that was enough to destroy the Qin country has come to a successful conclusion.
