Real Cthulhu Running Game
Chapter 2023: memory problems
"What? How can he drink the river water directly."
Liu Nan frowned, and said seriously: "Generally speaking, ninety-nine percent of the river water is not ready to drink directly, because there may be some invisible and intangible poisons in these river waters, which are found in dozens of rivers. A consensus was reached years ago... A Peng, you have been drinking hot water since you were born, so you take it for granted, but you may not know that when I was young, basically there was no People drink hot water, so some very bad things happen."
"It was also a summer, and I went swimming with some of my friends in the river. As a result, we fell ill one after another after returning home, and then nearly 80% of the people in the whole town fell down! In the end, I survived, but I The few friends I had were all gone, and as for the whole town, there were only about half of the people left; and not long after, someone came to let us drink hot water, and during my apprenticeship, I heard my master mention After hearing about this incident, he said that in addition to the small town where I was, there were hundreds of other cities and villages where similar things happened that summer."
"Of course, this is not the only case that happened in that year. There have been many similar cases before, but they all involved a certain area, and there were not so many people involved in the accident, so everyone They didn't pay too much attention to it; as a result, no one thought that it would suddenly erupt that summer, but it was a wake-up call to everyone, so Xinlongdi arranged for several medical schools to take action together to investigate whether all this was true. What happened, Qingping, the head of the Dianqing faction at the time, came to the conclusion I just mentioned."
"The current Dianqing faction is considered to be the top three in the medical school. It is all because Mr. Qingping performed well in this incident and was praised by the new dragon emperor, so the Dianqing sect was able to reach its present position. This step; of course, when Mr. Qingping proposed this idea back then, no one else stood by his side. After all, it was an invisible poison whose existence surpassed everyone's cognition; The important thing is that even Mr. Qingping did not produce strong evidence to prove the existence of this poison."
Hearing this, Liu Xing couldn't help but raise his brows, because this NPC named Qingping seems to be the same type of person as he is now, and he can also see those small bugs in the water, and these small bugs are in the eyes of Yin En and others It simply doesn't exist.
If Qingping was a player, Liu Xing would not think there was any problem, because players from the real world more or less know what microbes are, and drinking unboiled water is easily affected by microbes.
So as an NPC, Qingping is likely to be able to see those little bugs, so he dared to put forward such a view. After all, it is the same sentence - people can never imagine something that they have never seen before.
In the real world, Chinese medicine refers to those microorganisms that can cause illnesses as "evil qi".
In the memory of "Liu Peng", although some herbal medicines that do not exist in the real world appear in the Xinlong Empire, the medical aspects are almost the same as the traditional Chinese medicine in the real world. Basically, it can be said that they are exactly the same. Many of the classic prescriptions and nouns in the Chinese martial arts module have appeared in this martial arts module, which naturally includes "evil energy".
So if Qingping hadn't seen the existence of those little bugs with his own eyes, then he would not have proposed the term "poison", but would have proposed a new concept related to "water evil".
It seems that I am not alone, and someone has discovered that something is wrong before this.
"At the beginning, other people didn't agree with Mr. Qingping's opinion. After all, in a sense, it is impossible for an invisible and intangible bug to exist! Let alone your naked eye. How can mortal fetuses find it? As a result, Mr. Qingping insisted on his own opinion, and made those patients in charge of him drink boiled hot water every day. In the end, only those patients in charge of Mr. Qingping survived. , and after drinking hot water, there was no recurrence of the disease."
"Facts speak louder than words. Those of us who are doctors are most taboo about insisting on our own opinions too much and not listening to other people's opinions! And those who are masters are teachers. Since you celebrate someone's best work, then others are considered to be of higher status. I also want to learn from you honestly; finally, under Qingping’s insistence, everyone in a large area began to drink hot water. As a result, after five years, only people in this area did not get sick on a large scale , and in other places, even if there are many famous doctors in town, it is still the same as usual, and you will still get sick when you should get sick."
"So Xinlongdi summoned Mr. Qingping, and Mr. Qingping made a demonstration to Xinlongdi, that is, put a caterpillar in a bowl of river water. It can flop a few times, but as long as it is placed in boiling water, the caterpillar will die soon! This is the evidence that Mr. Qingping believes there are invisible insects in the water, and it is also the reason why drinking hot water will prevent you from getting sick; So after that, people in the entire Xinlong Empire began to drink hot water, and Mr. Qingping also traveled all over the entire Xinlong Empire to find out those direct drinking water sources that have not been affected by the bugs." Liu Nan seriously Said.
I see.
Liu Xing nodded, and made up an idea in his heart, that is, he had to find an opportunity to meet this old Mr. Qingping, because he could see the existence of bugs in decades, so he should I have also done corresponding investigations, so I may be able to get more information from him.
"So that friend of yours, Apeng, now only needs to drink a pair of deworming medicine. I believe you should still remember the prescription of deworming medicine?" Liu Nan asked with a smile.
Liu Xing nodded, then got up and began to grab the medicine by himself.
At this time, Liu Nan continued: "For ordinary people, they only know to drink hot water, but they don't know why they do it, so now and then, people will be tricked occasionally; but it's worth it. Fortunately, although these bugs make us hard to guard against, it is not difficult to solve them."
"Well, I will ask Ah Qiang to bring a few people to tell everyone not to drink raw water, even in such a hot day." Liu Xing nodded and said.
After picking out a pack of medicine, Liu Xing went to see the unlucky player and asked him to take medicine for the next two days.
As a result, at this time, Yin En called Liu Xing aside with a serious face.
"Things are getting worse."
Yin En went straight to the topic and said: "When Liu Xing went to grab the medicine, I suddenly thought of a problem, that is, in my memory, or Yin Qiang's memory, most people drink the river water directly. After all, we humans The settlements all have a characteristic, that is, they must be close to the water source; because the river network of the Xinlong Empire is densely covered, you can go to the river to get water by just walking two steps, so few people will spend a lot of effort digging wells, such as Heshan There is not a single well in the county, so everyone’s domestic water comes from the river.”
Hearing what Yin En said, Liu Xing couldn't help but frowned, "Huh? Yin En, you mean we didn't have the habit of drinking boiled water before?"
"No."
Yin En said decisively: "I went home and took a look just now, and I was sure that there is no kettle in my house, and my parents have been drinking cold water! This is actually quite normal, after all, it can be used to boil water now. There are only firewood and charcoal, and coal and natural gas are still buried underground, so who has the spare money to use firewood to boil water? As for going up the mountain to cut firewood, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive! So many years ago in the real world, that is If the generation of our parents lived in the city, if they wanted to drink boiled water, they had to go to the boiled water room."
Hearing the words "boiling water room", Liu Xing remembered that there was a boiling water room near his home when he was a child. When fetching water in the room, I accidentally burned my heel.
So now Liu Xing has almost forgotten what this classmate looks like, but he still remembers what the scar on his heel looks like.
"The existence of the boiling water room is mainly to save fuel. After all, natural gas was not widely available at that time, and the price of coal was not low. At the same time, there was not so much firewood to burn in the city; so Liu Xing you Don’t you think it’s strange? That is, no matter how many trees there are in this martial arts module, can it withstand the decades when so many people boil water every day? And in Liu Xing’s memory, among ourselves and our neighbors Will someone go up the mountain to cut firewood every day? Or is there someone in the business of selling firewood?" Yin En said seriously.
Liu Xing frowned, because what Yin En said was true! In "Liu Peng"'s memory, there has never been a picture of buying and selling firewood! And the firewood used in the medical center was also specially hired by Liu Nan to go up the mountain and cut down a few trees directly, and then processed into firewood after bringing them home.
So here comes the question, why every household in my memory is drinking hot water, but I don’t see them buying firewood for boiling water? Have you seen them go up the mountain in person?
But Liu Xing quickly thought of a reason, and said subconsciously: "Eh? Can't we boil the water while cooking? boil?"
"Yes, we can do this, but the question is, will you put so much more firewood when cooking? It stands to reason that it is quite difficult to boil water with this residual temperature; more importantly, when we were young, we It’s not like you haven’t played on Heshan, so in Liu Xing’s memory, the trees in Heshan should not increase or decrease in these years, right? So can Heshan provide us with so many branches for us to use?” Yin En Continue to ask.
If the trees cannot be cut directly, then the firewood can only be those dry branches.
Therefore, Liu Xing only went through a simple calculation and was able to determine that it is impossible to meet the firewood demand of Heshan County just by relying on the branches provided by Heshan, not to mention not only his own medical center, but also restaurants and restaurants everywhere. , and carpenters need a lot of firewood and wood, so it stands to reason that Heshan's "hairline" should move back.
But as Yin En said, there is not much difference between Heshan at this time and Heshan when "Liu Peng" was a child.
Then where did these extra firewood come from in the past ten years? It can't be bought from other places, right?
"This time there is a bug in the martial arts module."
Yin En concluded: "It takes ten years to grow a tree and a hundred years to grow a person. This tree can't grow casually, so if Liu Xing didn't remind you like this, I really didn't realize the bug in this aspect! And Tianshui The same is true of the town, because we only need to go to the logging team to see that the growth rings on the stumps may be more than 50 years old! But if I remember correctly, the town of Sweetwater was actually in the 40s. It was built many years ago, so where did the wood for Sweetwater come from?"
"I don't think that when Sweetwater was built, people would go far and wide to buy wood from outside, so they must have used local materials like us, but if this is the case, then we will have to go a few more steps to find the right wood. Timber; what's more, the pillar industry of Tianshui Town is wine making, and besides a lot of food, wine making also needs a lot of firewood, so I don't think Tianshui Town will buy firewood when selling wine."
At this time, Liu Xing frowned again, because the woods where the wine gorilla is located really took decades to grow, so if Tianshui Town had "taken materials" from this woods, Then the present forest will have to change.
"If Liu Xing didn't suddenly see something that I couldn't see, then I would only think it was an innocuous little bug. After all, this martial arts mod is a separate mod, so it may be in the In the state of time stop, it starts to run after our players enter the arena, so the consumption that should have occurred did not happen; but Liu Xing, you mentioned that everyone is used to drinking hot water every day, but there is nothing in my house that can be installed. The water container, except for the big tank in the kitchen! So I just went to check the houses of several other families and found the same thing!"
Yin En looked at Liu Xing and stopped talking.
After Liu Xing recalled it for a while, his complexion also became serious, "Now in my memory, everyone really only drinks hot water! So what you said, Yin En, is true, then this shows one thing. The thing is, there is a problem with my memory, as if there is something in my eyes that I have never seen before!"
