Marrying a Wife in the Beastman World
Chapter 40
The snowstorm has hardly stopped, the temperature is getting lower and lower, and almost everything is frozen.Such bad weather was very unbearable for Cheng Cheng.He basically didn't dare to leave the stove for too long, so he had to move the bed to the side of the stove.And such a low temperature makes many families with poorly built houses almost terribly cold even though they live in the house.That kind of house is too low, and there are air leaks from all sides. Although the stove is burning all day, the house is still terribly cold, and people dare not take a step away from the stove.And the cold winter is still long, many people feel that there will be a big problem if this continues, so people keep going to the village chief's house to talk about this problem.
The village chief also felt that the weather this year was too cold. This was the coldest winter in a century. The village chief held a simple meeting at home, called several representative figures in the village, and specially Cheng Cheng and Tru also called over.
Someone said: "Village chief, our house can't withstand the cold winter, and it's almost unbearable now. Seeing that the weather is getting colder every day, what should we do?"
"Yes. We dare not leave the stove, and the females and children in the house are even more afraid of the cold."
"I'm afraid the firewood prepared by our family is not enough to burn, what will we do then?"
The village chief frowned when he heard everyone's words. This year is much colder than previous years. Although everyone has prepared more food and firewood, they can't stand the current bad weather.
"We should build a house like Cheng Cheng's. Now only his house is the warmest. It's big, tall, and spacious." said an orc who went to return Cheng Cheng's fishing net with the village chief last time.A beautiful house like Cheng Cheng's is now the most eye-catching in the whole village.
"It's useless to talk about it now, we have to wait until next year." The village chief interrupted other people who wanted to talk about this topic, and turned to Cheng Cheng and said, "Next year, you will help everyone build bamboo houses."
Cheng Cheng nodded, but he was thinking in his heart, I am still thinking about how to improve our bamboo house.
"The weather has been getting colder. I'm afraid all the orcs are about to fall asleep, and the duty to be on duty is probably coming to an end." An old orc raised the most important topic at the moment.
"That's right. For the past two days, I haven't been able to lift up my strength." Most of the orcs said.
"En. Me too." The village head nodded.
"We can no longer arrange people to be on duty. In such weather, wild animals dare not come out." The village head comforted everyone.
"However, the most important thing now is to solve the problem of everyone's housing."
"And without the orcs on duty, all the orcs will fall into a deep sleep, and the whole village is still very dangerous."
"While we can still move now, can we build a few big bamboo houses first, and gather several families together to live together, so that we can not only solve the housing problem, but also help each other. Resist." Someone suggested.
"Impossible. Now the ground is frozen, even if there are materials, it is impossible to build a house. How to plant bamboo on the ground?" Someone objected.
"Yes. It's impossible to use mud to paste the wall at this time." Cheng Cheng also objected, what a joke, how difficult it is to build a house in the cold weather.
"I can't control that much, and the walls don't need to be pasted. Anyway, it's so cold outside, maybe it will freeze soon." Someone said.As soon as the words came out, everyone was stunned.I have to say that this proposal is very good. Although we can't muddy the walls now, the bamboo house is safer and warmer than the straw huts that everyone lives in now.The weather is so cold, as long as people live in the house, as long as there is heat, a layer of water vapor will be formed quickly. The water vapor is really likely to freeze through the walls made of grass and bamboo. Mud stuck to the airy walls.The room became even warmer.
Everyone was arguing endlessly about the house, and the village head suddenly asked: "Cheng Cheng, do you think this method will work?" To be honest, the village head himself wished to live in a house like Cheng Cheng's. After comparing Cheng's bamboo house with the thatched huts everyone is currently living in, everyone is looking forward to living in a good house.
"It's not impossible. It's just that my roof is woven of grass and brown silk. It takes a while to weave it, and there may not be so many materials?" Cheng Cheng agreed at once, and only the roof can be done. How to do it, how to weave a roof in a short time.
"Let's use animal skins for the roof. Just sew large pieces of animal skins together. Anyway, to build a house like this, everyone lives together, and everyone contributes some materials." The village chief made a decision.Finally, it was decided to build three more houses in the village, which were still quite large.The family lives in a dozen or so households.The rest lived in Cheng Cheng's house. Anyway, there were only about fifty families in the whole village.In this way, everyone was happy. In order to ensure that the materials were sufficient, the village head personally took Cheng Cheng to each household to select materials.
After discussing the matter of building a house, Cheng Cheng came home very late.At this time, the two brothers, Afeng and Aju, took most of their belongings and defected to Cheng's house. Their house was the most typical house in the village, and it was really cold to live in.Cheng Cheng and Tru Lantian accepted them without saying a word, Shiyan Anmu, two adult orcs and Lan Hua lived in the same room, and all the females crowded around the stove, at this time, everyone couldn't care less What's the matter, Lan Tian and Cheng Cheng squeezed together, with brother Afeng in the middle, and Tru and his son squeezed on the other side, so there was almost no space left in the kitchen.All were in the thickest overcoats freshly made, including trousers and boots, and were fully armed.But even so, as long as you go out, you will feel like you are about to freeze to death, and staying outside for three hours is the limit.
Cheng Cheng was really afraid that he would get frostbite if he had to build a house in this weather.But he had to go out and direct everyone to do things, and Trudeau couldn't get away either. They could be regarded as the main force.The village head gathered all the orcs in the village and divided them into three groups, and each group was responsible for building a house.In order to save time and materials, Cheng Cheng designed the new house this time as a room with no distinction of functions. One room can accommodate several families, as long as it is big enough.Each room has only one door and one window for ventilation.This kind of house is just like the staff dormitory built by some units.It's just that there is a small door between each room to communicate with each other.
The new house was built not far from Cheng Cheng's house. It was built here because everyone could go to Cheng Cheng's house for a short rest, and there used to be a large vacant lot here, but now it needs to be cleaned up. The village chief appointed some Orcs specialize in this cleanup.Some orcs are responsible for transporting all the materials available in the village and stacking them together, and the other part is the youngest and strongest orcs who are ready to build houses.
It was too cold to work, so Cheng Cheng asked people to burn several fires in the open space. Apart from roasting the bamboo, it could also roast the ground, and people could also keep warm along the way.Twisting the hay into a rope and then hanging it on the bamboo is a very large project, so five orcs were specially sent to learn from Tru, and some healthy females also volunteered to help.
With the experience of building a house for the first time, Cheng Cheng simplified some steps this time, saved some unnecessary procedures, and made the project easier to carry out.Rows of thick bamboos were soon planted on the ground, and it took a lot of effort to sharpen these bamboos. Cheng Cheng's small ax made a great contribution and was almost killed.
Sewing huge animal skin roofs is also a big job. Several females with good handicrafts in the village gathered at Cheng's house, and under the direction of Lan Tian, they kept wielding needles and threads, hoping to sew the roof quickly.There are a lot of tedious tasks, and the whole village is constantly busy. Even so, it took five days to build the three rows of big houses into a rough shape.
As the temperature drops, everyone can no longer work outside. The village head first divides all the people in the village into four parts and coordinates with each other.In addition to the two families of Afeng and Aju who had already come to the Cheng family, the Cheng family had three more families that were small in population, but most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled.It's too cold now, and the new house needs constant improvement, and they can't wait.Tru and Batu vacated the room and let the three families live in. They also built a stove in the room and let them live on their own. They also brought a lot of belongings, including food and various daily necessities. , but the firewood had to be piled up in the backyard first, and the small warehouse was already full of things from Afeng's family.
The temperature kept dropping, and some people couldn't resist getting sick. Now everyone suddenly remembered that the place where the pharmacist lived hadn't been arranged yet.Every room was filled with people, and the village chief was in a hurry, and there was such a big mistake, forgetting the pharmacists, they need special protection.
Qinghua gave the village chief a dissatisfied look, and said, "I'll go live at Cheng Cheng's house. Send some people to help me move, and the medicinal materials must be transported carefully." Qinghua has already set his sights on Cheng's house, and now there is still room Well, he didn't want to be crowded with the whole village, it would be annoying to death.And when you come to Cheng's house, you can also enjoy some delicacies that others can't enjoy.
The Cheng family had no choice but to welcome Qinghua's arrival. To be honest, Cheng Cheng quite liked this pharmacist Qinghua. In the eyes of others, a pharmacist was majestic and unapproachable. Only Cheng Cheng could associate with him like a friend.It's just that Qinghua has quite a lot of things, mainly some medicinal materials. Cheng Cheng gave up his room, but it was not enough.Qinghua also said: "Take away the meat and everything in your room. I can't stand the smell, and the medicinal materials are not good to mix with these things."
Cheng Cheng and the others had to move all these things to the Lantian room. This was not a small project, because the food brought by Afeng's family was no less than three thousand catties.Including their own food and the food brought by Qinghua, the total was no less than seven thousand catties, and several people almost fainted from exhaustion.Lan Tian's room was originally small, but now it's packed to the brim, with no place to step down.
Cheng Cheng looked at the room full of food and smiled and said to everyone: "Don't worry about running out of food now. I'm afraid I can't finish these things. Anyway, the orcs are asleep."
"Don't make sarcastic remarks. With this kind of weather, you don't know when it will end? There is no food that can't be eaten. I'm afraid that spring will be delayed for too long, and everyone will have to go hungry." The pharmacist scolded with a smile.He brought quite a lot of food by himself, and wherever he could finish it, it was all for Cheng Cheng's family.
There is basically no need for Cheng Cheng to manage the new house. Everyone can stay at home for the winter and do what they need to do by themselves.The pharmacist began to force Lan Tian and the others to sew new coats, trousers, boots, quilts, gloves, etc., anyway, he wanted what everyone had.However, he brought enough animal skins, all of which were whole, so Lan Tian felt at ease and kept one as his own. Of course, he sewed it into a big quilt.The three families living in Tru's room also learned to sew clothes from everyone.Slowly, all the females in the village came to ask for advice.Cheng Cheng had to stay with Qinghua all day long, and he couldn't bear the constant chatter of those people, so he learned a lot about pharmacology.
The weather is still getting colder, let alone the females, all the orcs dare not go out with them, they are also afraid of the cold, basically put on thick coats, and wrap their four feet with animal skins, Although they are in beast form.So Cheng Cheng occasionally went outside the door for a circle, and what he saw was a big tiger in clothes walking on the snow. The dog owner came out to play with his pets.Although such a situation is ridiculous, Cheng Cheng has no intention of laughing at them.He just hoped that the weather would get warmer soon.If this continues, everyone will freeze to death before the food is finished.
A few days passed, and the big tiger was no longer seen outside, and everyone fell into a deep sleep.The whole village suddenly became much quieter, and even the birds that occasionally flew by disappeared, leaving only the whirring of the wind, and the sound of the branches being broken when the wind blew by, and those uninhabited thatched huts Most also collapsed.Now everyone is rejoicing that they are rushing to build a new house, otherwise they don't know what to do?
Such a village makes people feel very panic. Usually all the females live under the protection of the orcs. Now they are all asleep, and they are still in a deep sleep. They may not wake up until the weather gets warmer. Everyone has to Faced with the situation of protecting oneself.Moreover, such a cold weather, life is extremely inconvenient.Although everyone has tried their best to learn how to sew the warmest clothes and shoes, no one can stay outside for half an hour. Sometimes it takes a lot of effort to go outside to get firewood and get some snow water. Some people were frostbitten, and now many people in the village have extremely severe frostbite.
The new bamboo houses are full of people, and all the people are gathered together. The stove in each house has never been turned off. Everyone gathers around the stove to make some clothes and gossip. Most of the time, everyone also Dozing off.The advantage of living together is to save materials to the greatest extent, such as firewood. Now there is a stove in one room, and a lot of firewood is saved for cooking, so everyone no longer worries about not having enough firewood to burn. It will be warmer.But living together has its disadvantages. Now that the weather is cold, people are prone to get sick. Common diseases such as colds are easily contagious. Before Cheng Cheng had time to think about this problem, many people in the village had already caught a cold. Coughing sounded one after another, some people had a fever again, and some had runny noses and tears.Some people developed pneumonia, and some developed diarrhea. In short, there are more and more patients, and there are more and more types of diseases.
Qinghua took Cheng Cheng as his helper and kept treating people, but the Chinese herbal medicine prescribed by Qinghua was not very effective in dealing with this kind of seasonal influenza, and the people were too concentrated, so the speed of infection was extremely fast of.Almost overnight, everyone in the first row of houses became ill.This situation made Cheng Cheng very worried, for fear that the disease would infect the whole village.
"Qinghua, if this goes on like this, I'm afraid that the whole village will get sick." Cheng Cheng said to Qinghua who was constantly dispensing the medicine while guarding the stove where the medicine was being boiled.
"Well, I've already prescribed a lot of medicine, and I just hope that they can be cured soon." Qinghua was also very worried.
"Treatment alone is not enough. Can you get some medicine to prevent it. We can't let healthy people get sick." Cheng Cheng really misses vaccinations now.
"Yes, but I haven't encountered this kind of situation before, and I can't find any medicine to prevent it?" Qinghua was even more anxious.Turn over all the medicine villages, smell this one, taste that one.
"Isatis root, do you have a lot here?" Cheng Cheng asked. Banlangen granule is not a prescription medicine in modern times. Many people have a cold or feel a sore throat. , and Radix isatidis is very useful, and the side effects are very small, and it can be used for many diseases.
"There are many more. Can this thing prevent the current disease?" Qinghua asked, and the prescription he prescribed actually contained Banlangen.
"Fry some first, let everyone drink a bowl every day for three days, try it. Then let everyone eat grapefruit, I don't know if it will work?" Cheng Cheng smiled wryly. He is not a doctor, so he dare not vouch for it. Banlangen and grapefruit can really prevent the current flu.In modern society, influenza is also very scary, especially in places like schools where there are many children and the flow of people is concentrated, it is very easy to trigger an outbreak of influenza.In most cases, people will be cured after a few days of injections and some medicine, but some people will have a high fever that does not go away, and even cause other symptoms.
"Okay." Qinghua thought about it for a while, and felt that this method is feasible. Radix isatidis has the effect of detoxifying and clearing away heat. Even people who are not sick will not have adverse effects if they eat it. Grapefruit is something that everyone usually eats, for sure will not be harmful.There is no good way now, it is better to try this method.
Soon the Banlangen was distributed to everyone. According to Qinghua's instructions, everyone drank the Banlangen soup and ate some grapefruit. After three days, it really helped, and fewer people had new colds.After a few more days, some patients gradually recovered, and the cloud of gloom covering the village finally dissipated. Qinghua and Cheng Cheng also breathed a sigh of relief, and they could finally stop and rest.
"I've been very busy these days, and my throat isn't dry enough." Qinghua himself is a doctor, but he couldn't stand it anymore.
"Why don't you get some medicine." Cheng Cheng suggested to him.
"I've had Radix Banlangen, and I don't want to drink any more medicine." Qinghua shook his head.He grew up in medicine pots from a young age, tasted hundreds of herbs, and was very disgusted with drinking medicine.
Lan Tian is roasting a pomelo. It's too cold now. He hasn't eaten fresh vegetables and fruits for a long time. Although there are a lot of pomelo at home, he doesn't dare to eat them directly for fear of freezing his teeth, so he ate them. Sometimes, they are roasted first before eating. Anyway, the grapefruit skin is thick, even if the skin is burnt, the pulp inside will not be spoiled.
"Give me something to eat." Qinghua's eyes lit up, and he hurried over.
The blue sky roasted for a while, and the room smelled of grapefruit peels. Cheng Cheng suddenly smiled and said, "Why did I forget, how about making some honey grapefruit tea for everyone?" Just remember to let everyone eat some grapefruit.Grapefruit peels are also a good thing, and they are all wasted.
"Honey citron tea, is it delicious? What's the effect?" Lan Tian asked quickly. These days, his throat also felt very dry, and the corners of his mouth also had some blisters. He just wanted to eat something cold and moist.Because of staying by the stove for a long time, the roast is too dry, and the human body also lacks some water.
Cheng Cheng ignored him, picked up some grapefruit peels on his own, threw them in a clay pot, boiled them, added a little salt, scrubbed the grapefruit peels, and then washed them again with clean water, put the washed grapefruit peels in the Cook in clean water.The method of this honey citron tea is very simple. People who are not particular about it can directly boil water and add sugar and some honey to drink. Those who are particular about it will make it very troublesome to boil and cook like this.Cheng Cheng has always boiled it directly, but there is no sucrose here, so the boiled grapefruit peel water is directly added a little honey to adjust the taste, and served to everyone to drink.Although it is a bit bitter, everyone thinks it is very delicious, very thirst-quenching, and a little sweet.A clay pot of honey citron tea was quickly shared among everyone.
"Let's cook some more." Blue Sky said.
"No way, there's no one who drinks like this every day. Let's do it in a day." Cheng Cheng stopped him. The honey citron tea he made had a strong taste, so if you drink too much at once, you may backfire.
The next day, Lan Tian felt that his throat was much more comfortable, and the blisters at the corners of his mouth disappeared. He said happily, "This thing is really good. Let's get some more today."
"Really, I had a little cough yesterday, but I don't cough anymore today." A Feng also said at the same time.
After all, Qinghua is a pharmacist, and after drinking his honey citron tea, he himself thought it was good. Now, after hearing what they said, he had an idea and improved it a little. Those who suffered from severe cough were sent to them, and soon those who had coughed for several days drank this medicine, and all of them got better.Qinghua was both surprised and delighted, it was amazing that Cheng Cheng could cure the disease with such a casually made tea.He looked at Cheng Cheng again with more intense eyes.
"What are you doing, what's going on with you?" Cheng Cheng was terrified by his gaze.
"That's right. Why are you staring at Brother Cheng as if you saw something delicious?" Lan Tian joked.In fact, Qinghua was extremely greedy, and whenever he had time, he asked Trudeau and Cheng Cheng to make delicious food for him.
"You, I just wanted to eat it. Cheng Cheng, I added some medicine to the grapefruit tea you made yesterday. I boiled some new medicine and gave it to those people who had a bad cough. They all said that the medicine was effective today." Very good, I think you might as well be a pharmacist with me." Qinghua said with great anticipation.
"No. I can't do it. These things are well-known in my hometown, and not only pharmacists understand them. Besides, there are so many herbs, not to mention that I don't know their properties, and it is difficult to even recognize them. How can I give them to others? Heal the sick." Cheng Cheng objected again and again, what a joke, doctor is a very solemn profession, and he dare not treat people casually, if someone dies, it will be over.
"That's right. Brother Cheng doesn't have time to be a pharmacist." Lan Tian was in a hurry.
Although Qinghua lobbied in every possible way, Naihe Chengcheng did not let go at all. Hearing what Lan Tian said, he immediately pointed Maotou at him: "What do you mean? What's wrong with being a pharmacist? There is no time. Next time you get sick Don't look for me."
"What, Brother Cheng doesn't want to be a pharmacist himself. What's the use of me." Lan Tian had been listening to them, and at this moment he was relieved. For some reason, he was very upset with Qinghua and Cheng Cheng. Be close, these days Cheng Cheng has been helping Qinghua to give people Han disease, and Lan Tian is already very unhappy.If Cheng Cheng agreed to be a pharmacist, wouldn't he spend more time with Qinghua in the future.Now that Cheng Cheng rejected Qinghua, he was so happy that he couldn't hide the smile on his face.
"What are you laughing at?" Qinghua slapped Lan Tian, stomped his feet and went back to the room angrily, but he yelled at Cheng Cheng: "As compensation, you have to make me a new dish today." Eat. Otherwise, next time someone gets sick, don’t even try to find me.”
"Hmph, what's the big deal." Lan Tian compared his fists behind him.
Cheng Cheng grabbed him, afraid that this guy would really fight with Qinghua, the two of them were sometimes like children, very childish in their actions.A few days ago, he was getting red-faced because of a trivial matter, and it is rare for Qinghua to be so childish, probably because he has never had a childhood since he was a child.But Lan Tian didn't respect Qinghua like ordinary people, instead he provoked him from time to time.
Lan Tian turned around anxiously, just about to say something, seeing that it was Cheng Cheng, he could only grin, the smile almost dazzled Cheng Cheng's eyes, he couldn't help but stepped forward and pinched Lan Tian's tender face.The two of them fought and quarreled for a long time, and the others lowered their heads and snickered.There was a burst of laughter in the room for a while, and the depression and panic in the past few days made everyone laugh so much for a long time.Laughter seemed to be contagious, and everyone couldn't help laughing.Hearing the laughter all over the room, Cheng Cheng suddenly felt very happy.In life, if everyone helps each other, many things will be easily solved. Many things are difficult in your own eyes, but others are just easy things.In this way, everyone will be much better off.If you help me today, and I will help you tomorrow, everyone's life will be better.
The village chief also felt that the weather this year was too cold. This was the coldest winter in a century. The village chief held a simple meeting at home, called several representative figures in the village, and specially Cheng Cheng and Tru also called over.
Someone said: "Village chief, our house can't withstand the cold winter, and it's almost unbearable now. Seeing that the weather is getting colder every day, what should we do?"
"Yes. We dare not leave the stove, and the females and children in the house are even more afraid of the cold."
"I'm afraid the firewood prepared by our family is not enough to burn, what will we do then?"
The village chief frowned when he heard everyone's words. This year is much colder than previous years. Although everyone has prepared more food and firewood, they can't stand the current bad weather.
"We should build a house like Cheng Cheng's. Now only his house is the warmest. It's big, tall, and spacious." said an orc who went to return Cheng Cheng's fishing net with the village chief last time.A beautiful house like Cheng Cheng's is now the most eye-catching in the whole village.
"It's useless to talk about it now, we have to wait until next year." The village chief interrupted other people who wanted to talk about this topic, and turned to Cheng Cheng and said, "Next year, you will help everyone build bamboo houses."
Cheng Cheng nodded, but he was thinking in his heart, I am still thinking about how to improve our bamboo house.
"The weather has been getting colder. I'm afraid all the orcs are about to fall asleep, and the duty to be on duty is probably coming to an end." An old orc raised the most important topic at the moment.
"That's right. For the past two days, I haven't been able to lift up my strength." Most of the orcs said.
"En. Me too." The village head nodded.
"We can no longer arrange people to be on duty. In such weather, wild animals dare not come out." The village head comforted everyone.
"However, the most important thing now is to solve the problem of everyone's housing."
"And without the orcs on duty, all the orcs will fall into a deep sleep, and the whole village is still very dangerous."

"Impossible. Now the ground is frozen, even if there are materials, it is impossible to build a house. How to plant bamboo on the ground?" Someone objected.
"Yes. It's impossible to use mud to paste the wall at this time." Cheng Cheng also objected, what a joke, how difficult it is to build a house in the cold weather.
"I can't control that much, and the walls don't need to be pasted. Anyway, it's so cold outside, maybe it will freeze soon." Someone said.As soon as the words came out, everyone was stunned.I have to say that this proposal is very good.

"Let's use animal skins for the roof. Just sew large pieces of animal skins together. Anyway, to build a house like this, everyone lives together, and everyone contributes some materials." The village chief made a decision.Finally, it was decided to build three more houses in the village, which were still quite large.The family lives in a dozen or so households.The rest lived in Cheng Cheng's house. Anyway, there were only about fifty families in the whole village.In this way, everyone was happy. In order to ensure that the materials were sufficient, the village head personally took Cheng Cheng to each household to select materials.
After discussing the matter of building a house, Cheng Cheng came home very late.At this time, the two brothers, Afeng and Aju, took most of their belongings and defected to Cheng's house.

Cheng Cheng was really afraid that he would get frostbite if he had to build a house in this weather.But he had to go out and direct everyone to do things, and Trudeau couldn't get away either. They could be regarded as the main force.The village head gathered all the orcs in the village and divided them into three groups, and each group was responsible for building a house.In order to save time and materials, Cheng Cheng designed the new house this time as a room with no distinction of functions.

The Cheng family had no choice but to welcome Qinghua's arrival. To be honest, Cheng Cheng quite liked this pharmacist Qinghua. In the eyes of others, a pharmacist was majestic and unapproachable. Only Cheng Cheng could associate with him like a friend.It's just that Qinghua has quite a lot of things, mainly some medicinal materials. Cheng Cheng gave up his room, but it was not enough.Qinghua also said: "Take away the meat and everything in your room. I can't stand the smell, and the medicinal materials are not good to mix with these things."
Cheng Cheng and the others had to move all these things to the Lantian room. This was not a small project, because the food brought by Afeng's family was no less than three thousand catties.Including their own food and the food brought by Qinghua, the total was no less than seven thousand catties, and several people almost fainted from exhaustion.Lan Tian's room was originally small, but now it's packed to the brim, with no place to step down.
Cheng Cheng looked at the room full of food and smiled and said to everyone: "Don't worry about running out of food now. I'm afraid I can't finish these things. Anyway, the orcs are asleep."
"Don't make sarcastic remarks. With this kind of weather, you don't know when it will end? There is no food that can't be eaten. I'm afraid that spring will be delayed for too long, and everyone will have to go hungry." The pharmacist scolded with a smile.He brought quite a lot of food by himself, and wherever he could finish it, it was all for Cheng Cheng's family.
There is basically no need for Cheng Cheng to manage the new house. Everyone can stay at home for the winter and do what they need to do by themselves.The pharmacist began to force Lan Tian and the others to sew new coats, trousers, boots, quilts, gloves, etc., anyway, he wanted what everyone had.However, he brought enough animal skins, all of which were whole, so Lan Tian felt at ease and kept one as his own. Of course, he sewed it into a big quilt.The three families living in Tru's room also learned to sew clothes from everyone.Slowly, all the females in the village came to ask for advice.Cheng Cheng had to stay with Qinghua all day long, and he couldn't bear the constant chatter of those people, so he learned a lot about pharmacology.
The weather is still getting colder, let alone the females, all the orcs dare not go out with them, they are also afraid of the cold, basically put on thick coats, and wrap their four feet with animal skins, Although they are in beast form.So Cheng Cheng occasionally went outside the door for a circle, and what he saw was a big tiger in clothes walking on the snow. The dog owner came out to play with his pets.Although such a situation is ridiculous, Cheng Cheng has no intention of laughing at them.He just hoped that the weather would get warmer soon.If this continues, everyone will freeze to death before the food is finished.
A few days passed, and the big tiger was no longer seen outside, and everyone fell into a deep sleep.The whole village suddenly became much quieter, and even the birds that occasionally flew by disappeared, leaving only the whirring of the wind, and the sound of the branches being broken when the wind blew by, and those uninhabited thatched huts Most also collapsed.Now everyone is rejoicing that they are rushing to build a new house, otherwise they don't know what to do?
Such a village makes people feel very panic. Usually all the females live under the protection of the orcs. Now they are all asleep, and they are still in a deep sleep. They may not wake up until the weather gets warmer. Everyone has to Faced with the situation of protecting oneself.Moreover, such a cold weather, life is extremely inconvenient.Although everyone has tried their best to learn how to sew the warmest clothes and shoes, no one can stay outside for half an hour. Sometimes it takes a lot of effort to go outside to get firewood and get some snow water. Some people were frostbitten, and now many people in the village have extremely severe frostbite.
The new bamboo houses are full of people, and all the people are gathered together. The stove in each house has never been turned off. Everyone gathers around the stove to make some clothes and gossip. Most of the time, everyone also Dozing off.The advantage of living together is to save materials to the greatest extent, such as firewood. Now there is a stove in one room, and a lot of firewood is saved for cooking, so everyone no longer worries about not having enough firewood to burn. It will be warmer.But living together has its disadvantages. Now that the weather is cold, people are prone to get sick. Common diseases such as colds are easily contagious. Before Cheng Cheng had time to think about this problem, many people in the village had already caught a cold. Coughing sounded one after another, some people had a fever again, and some had runny noses and tears.Some people developed pneumonia, and some developed diarrhea. In short, there are more and more patients, and there are more and more types of diseases.
Qinghua took Cheng Cheng as his helper and kept treating people, but the Chinese herbal medicine prescribed by Qinghua was not very effective in dealing with this kind of seasonal influenza, and the people were too concentrated, so the speed of infection was extremely fast of.Almost overnight, everyone in the first row of houses became ill.This situation made Cheng Cheng very worried, for fear that the disease would infect the whole village.
"Qinghua, if this goes on like this, I'm afraid that the whole village will get sick." Cheng Cheng said to Qinghua who was constantly dispensing the medicine while guarding the stove where the medicine was being boiled.
"Well, I've already prescribed a lot of medicine, and I just hope that they can be cured soon." Qinghua was also very worried.
"Treatment alone is not enough. Can you get some medicine to prevent it. We can't let healthy people get sick." Cheng Cheng really misses vaccinations now.
"Yes, but I haven't encountered this kind of situation before, and I can't find any medicine to prevent it?" Qinghua was even more anxious.Turn over all the medicine villages, smell this one, taste that one.
"Isatis root, do you have a lot here?" Cheng Cheng asked. Banlangen granule is not a prescription medicine in modern times. Many people have a cold or feel a sore throat. , and Radix isatidis is very useful, and the side effects are very small, and it can be used for many diseases.
"There are many more. Can this thing prevent the current disease?" Qinghua asked, and the prescription he prescribed actually contained Banlangen.
"Fry some first, let everyone drink a bowl every day for three days, try it. Then let everyone eat grapefruit, I don't know if it will work?" Cheng Cheng smiled wryly. He is not a doctor, so he dare not vouch for it. Banlangen and grapefruit can really prevent the current flu.In modern society, influenza is also very scary, especially in places like schools where there are many children and the flow of people is concentrated, it is very easy to trigger an outbreak of influenza.In most cases, people will be cured after a few days of injections and some medicine, but some people will have a high fever that does not go away, and even cause other symptoms.
"Okay." Qinghua thought about it for a while, and felt that this method is feasible. Radix isatidis has the effect of detoxifying and clearing away heat. Even people who are not sick will not have adverse effects if they eat it. Grapefruit is something that everyone usually eats, for sure will not be harmful.There is no good way now, it is better to try this method.
Soon the Banlangen was distributed to everyone. According to Qinghua's instructions, everyone drank the Banlangen soup and ate some grapefruit. After three days, it really helped, and fewer people had new colds.After a few more days, some patients gradually recovered, and the cloud of gloom covering the village finally dissipated. Qinghua and Cheng Cheng also breathed a sigh of relief, and they could finally stop and rest.
"I've been very busy these days, and my throat isn't dry enough." Qinghua himself is a doctor, but he couldn't stand it anymore.
"Why don't you get some medicine." Cheng Cheng suggested to him.
"I've had Radix Banlangen, and I don't want to drink any more medicine." Qinghua shook his head.He grew up in medicine pots from a young age, tasted hundreds of herbs, and was very disgusted with drinking medicine.
Lan Tian is roasting a pomelo. It's too cold now. He hasn't eaten fresh vegetables and fruits for a long time. Although there are a lot of pomelo at home, he doesn't dare to eat them directly for fear of freezing his teeth, so he ate them. Sometimes, they are roasted first before eating. Anyway, the grapefruit skin is thick, even if the skin is burnt, the pulp inside will not be spoiled.
"Give me something to eat." Qinghua's eyes lit up, and he hurried over.
The blue sky roasted for a while, and the room smelled of grapefruit peels. Cheng Cheng suddenly smiled and said, "Why did I forget, how about making some honey grapefruit tea for everyone?" Just remember to let everyone eat some grapefruit.Grapefruit peels are also a good thing, and they are all wasted.
"Honey citron tea, is it delicious? What's the effect?" Lan Tian asked quickly. These days, his throat also felt very dry, and the corners of his mouth also had some blisters. He just wanted to eat something cold and moist.Because of staying by the stove for a long time, the roast is too dry, and the human body also lacks some water.
Cheng Cheng ignored him, picked up some grapefruit peels on his own, threw them in a clay pot, boiled them, added a little salt, scrubbed the grapefruit peels, and then washed them again with clean water, put the washed grapefruit peels in the Cook in clean water.The method of this honey citron tea is very simple. People who are not particular about it can directly boil water and add sugar and some honey to drink. Those who are particular about it will make it very troublesome to boil and cook like this.Cheng Cheng has always boiled it directly, but there is no sucrose here, so the boiled grapefruit peel water is directly added a little honey to adjust the taste, and served to everyone to drink.Although it is a bit bitter, everyone thinks it is very delicious, very thirst-quenching, and a little sweet.A clay pot of honey citron tea was quickly shared among everyone.
"Let's cook some more." Blue Sky said.
"No way, there's no one who drinks like this every day. Let's do it in a day." Cheng Cheng stopped him. The honey citron tea he made had a strong taste, so if you drink too much at once, you may backfire.
The next day, Lan Tian felt that his throat was much more comfortable, and the blisters at the corners of his mouth disappeared. He said happily, "This thing is really good. Let's get some more today."
"Really, I had a little cough yesterday, but I don't cough anymore today." A Feng also said at the same time.
After all, Qinghua is a pharmacist, and after drinking his honey citron tea, he himself thought it was good. Now, after hearing what they said, he had an idea and improved it a little. Those who suffered from severe cough were sent to them, and soon those who had coughed for several days drank this medicine, and all of them got better.Qinghua was both surprised and delighted, it was amazing that Cheng Cheng could cure the disease with such a casually made tea.He looked at Cheng Cheng again with more intense eyes.
"What are you doing, what's going on with you?" Cheng Cheng was terrified by his gaze.
"That's right. Why are you staring at Brother Cheng as if you saw something delicious?" Lan Tian joked.In fact, Qinghua was extremely greedy, and whenever he had time, he asked Trudeau and Cheng Cheng to make delicious food for him.
"You, I just wanted to eat it. Cheng Cheng, I added some medicine to the grapefruit tea you made yesterday. I boiled some new medicine and gave it to those people who had a bad cough. They all said that the medicine was effective today." Very good, I think you might as well be a pharmacist with me." Qinghua said with great anticipation.
"No. I can't do it. These things are well-known in my hometown, and not only pharmacists understand them. Besides, there are so many herbs, not to mention that I don't know their properties, and it is difficult to even recognize them. How can I give them to others? Heal the sick." Cheng Cheng objected again and again, what a joke, doctor is a very solemn profession, and he dare not treat people casually, if someone dies, it will be over.
"That's right. Brother Cheng doesn't have time to be a pharmacist." Lan Tian was in a hurry.
Although Qinghua lobbied in every possible way, Naihe Chengcheng did not let go at all. Hearing what Lan Tian said, he immediately pointed Maotou at him: "What do you mean? What's wrong with being a pharmacist? There is no time. Next time you get sick Don't look for me."
"What, Brother Cheng doesn't want to be a pharmacist himself. What's the use of me." Lan Tian had been listening to them, and at this moment he was relieved. For some reason, he was very upset with Qinghua and Cheng Cheng. Be close, these days Cheng Cheng has been helping Qinghua to give people Han disease, and Lan Tian is already very unhappy.If Cheng Cheng agreed to be a pharmacist, wouldn't he spend more time with Qinghua in the future.Now that Cheng Cheng rejected Qinghua, he was so happy that he couldn't hide the smile on his face.
"What are you laughing at?" Qinghua slapped Lan Tian, stomped his feet and went back to the room angrily, but he yelled at Cheng Cheng: "As compensation, you have to make me a new dish today." Eat. Otherwise, next time someone gets sick, don’t even try to find me.”
"Hmph, what's the big deal." Lan Tian compared his fists behind him.
Cheng Cheng grabbed him, afraid that this guy would really fight with Qinghua, the two of them were sometimes like children, very childish in their actions.A few days ago, he was getting red-faced because of a trivial matter, and it is rare for Qinghua to be so childish, probably because he has never had a childhood since he was a child.But Lan Tian didn't respect Qinghua like ordinary people, instead he provoked him from time to time.
Lan Tian turned around anxiously, just about to say something, seeing that it was Cheng Cheng, he could only grin, the smile almost dazzled Cheng Cheng's eyes, he couldn't help but stepped forward and pinched Lan Tian's tender face.The two of them fought and quarreled for a long time, and the others lowered their heads and snickered.There was a burst of laughter in the room for a while, and the depression and panic in the past few days made everyone laugh so much for a long time.Laughter seemed to be contagious, and everyone couldn't help laughing.Hearing the laughter all over the room, Cheng Cheng suddenly felt very happy.In life, if everyone helps each other, many things will be easily solved. Many things are difficult in your own eyes, but others are just easy things.In this way, everyone will be much better off.If you help me today, and I will help you tomorrow, everyone's life will be better.
