I handed in the fast pass system

When Long Ya came back from delivering the letter, Li Zhi was decocting medicine.

Without advanced medical conditions, Li Zhi could only use some relatively primitive treatment methods.What he asked Long Ya to find were some herbal medicines with similar effects to the prescriptions recorded by Lanxing. They were mixed together and decocted, and combined with externally applied herbal medicines, they could relieve some symptoms.

But these herbs are only for clearing away heat and detoxifying. Whether he can survive in the end basically depends on Jin Ke himself.

The orcs who had close contact with Jin Ke were concentrated and isolated in the conference hall. Li Zhi also sent some medicine to these orcs, just in case.

Before that, the orcs basically chewed the medicine with their mouths and applied it to the wound. For some diseases without trauma, they chewed the herbal medicine raw. They hadn't drank the medicine soup, which was very novel at first.

Even Long Ya came over curiously and wanted to drink the medicine. After being rejected by Li Zhi, he was still very unconvinced, so he teased the leopard Oro in private, beckoning him to share a little for himself.

Oro, who had just taken a sip and almost didn't vomit bitterly, only hesitated for a moment, and poured all the medicinal soup into Longya's mouth.

Long Ya realized something was wrong when he took the first sip, but before he could react, a large bowl of medicinal soup just slid down his throat, leaving only a bitter taste on the back of his tongue that could not dissipate.

Longya: "..."

When Li Zhi turned around to take the bowl, when he turned around, he saw Long Ya pinching his neck, lying beside him retching with a disheveled expression.

Even the fiery red hair on his head lost some luster.

There is also an overturned medicine bowl on the ground next to it, and it is clear what this stupid dragon has done at a glance.

Oro raised his hands with an innocent face: "Longya insisted on drinking it himself! It has nothing to do with me!"

Li Zhi: "..."

I really can't count on it at all.

After delivering the medicine to the orcs in each room one by one, Li Zhi went to the cattle pen to have a look.

The orcs have a persistent pursuit of power. When Li Zhi first proposed hunting tools, many orcs could not accept it at all. It took him so long to popularize the use of hunting tools in nearby villages.

The matter of raising wild animals in captivity is not within the acceptable range of the orcs.

They feel that they can catch fresh prey, and nature is so cruel that once they accept food in captivity, their ability to survive in the wild will be greatly reduced.When the time comes, their descendants will lose their hunting skills, how will they survive in the grassland?

Even the orcs in Li Zhi Village, who were once excluded because of their low combat effectiveness, refused to accept the proposal of captive wild animals and farming.

The orcs were too resistant to farming and breeding. Li Zhi had no choice but to follow the customs of the village. Therefore, apart from Li's family, there were no cattle pens and cultivated land in the village.

The buffalo in the cattle pen were driven back bit by bit by Li Zhi asking Long Ya to release the dragon's power to deter them.

There is no way, Longya's fighting ability is too strong, once he makes a move, ordinary beasts will either die or be injured, but what Li Zhi wants is a live cow.

Originally, it was just because he was too lazy to go hunting, and raising some bison in captivity would ensure that he would have fresh beef to eat at any time, and a small piece of land to grow vegetables. For an interstellar-born traveler like Li Zhi, it couldn't be more comfortable.

The orcs in the village didn't understand what Li Zhi did, and thought he was a strange orc.The orcs in other villages felt that Li Zhi, the leader, was too lazy.

As a cheetah, he even abandoned the basic survival skills of hunting.

Unexpectedly, these two things played a key role at this time.

The cold winter is coming, and the terrible infectious disease smallpox has appeared again, and everyone is in isolation.Only the cattle pens and arable land in the backyard of Li's House can guarantee that the villagers' food rations will not be cut off suddenly.

Of course, the food in Li Zhi's house could not guarantee the supply of the whole village, Long Ya had to go hunting every day to deliver enough food to the villagers.

For 300 years before this, Longya was the belief of the orcs. You only need to lie under the tree and accept the offerings of the orcs. It has been a long, long time since I went out to hunt by myself.As a result, one dragon is now required to bear the rations of nearly a hundred orcs in the entire village.

Fortunately, some of the orcs are herbivorous, and some other orcs who are omnivorous don't need too much meat.

If everyone was like him, eating two or three bison for a meal, I'm afraid he would die of exhaustion.

After soaking in the stream for a long time, the bitter taste in his mouth finally disappeared, Long Ya followed behind Li Zhi, not aware of being found out for being stupid, and wanted his partner to touch his head to comfort him.

Seeing his friend walk into the cattle pen, he thought his friend wanted to give him an extra meal.

Because one time he slept with the prototype, he turned over in the middle of the night and accidentally crushed his partner, and his heavy tail almost crushed Li Zhi into a cat cake. Li Zhi never let him eat as much as he wanted. the food he ingested.

Poor Long Ya hadn't eaten meat recklessly for a long time, looking at the bison in the cattle pen, his eyes were about to bulge.

As a result, Li Zhi just walked in, walked around the cows, and then led one of the cows out.

Long Ya looked suspiciously at Li Zhi after all this, and had no intention of slaughtering the cow and roasting it for him at all.

It is true that the cow is sick, and there are festering wounds where the milk is produced. It is impossible for the partner to bring such a sick cow to him.

But if it's not for eating, what's the purpose of driving this cow out?

Li Zhi didn't explain to Long Ya, but just put on gloves made of fish intestines, buttoned off the scab on the infected part of the cow and put it in the container.

This is vaccinia, an acute infection caused by the smallpox virus in cattle, which can be transmitted to humans by contact.

Cowpox is very similar to smallpox and has a common antigen, but it will not cause serious illness. Humans will only have mild discomfort after being infected with vaccinia, and can develop immunity to smallpox.Therefore, according to historical records, this was the most effective way to prevent smallpox before humans developed injection vaccines.

Cowpox completely stopped the spread of the smallpox virus.

Therefore, Li Zhi firmly believes that vaccination in advance is the most effective way of resistance.

The smallpox virus is difficult to survive in a high temperature and humid environment. If this is summer, Li Zhi doesn't need to be so worried. He only needs to cure all known infected patients and disinfect all the things they have come into contact with.

But now it happens to be late autumn.

The temperature and humidity are decreasing, giving the smallpox virus an excellent living environment.

I don't know what's going on in other villages.

Li Zhi told Long Ya about the symptoms of cowpox, and asked him to pass it on to other villages, and also told them the method of vaccination, so that they could inoculate the orcs who were confirmed not to be infected with smallpox.

Then just wait.

The emergence of the next case is crucial, and that will help Li Zhi to determine the approximate time and place where Jin can be infected.

But the weather is getting colder, which brings more than a high survival rate of smallpox virus.

At the beginning, everyone knew that the spots on Jin Ke's body quickly spread to the whole body and festered. On the third day, they developed into blisters and even pustules. When the food looks more and more tired, but the meat is getting less and less, there will inevitably be some voices of dissatisfaction.

"Winter has already entered, and the animals on the grassland should have almost migrated. Do we really not need to go hunting and store some food?"

"My family's salt block is almost used up. If I don't add a little more, even if I have meat, I can't store it properly."

"It's not that we can't catch prey, why do we have to rely on dragon teeth to bring food every time?"

To be honest, Longya was really tired. It was okay a few days ago. Many animals on the grassland were migrating. He could get enough prey by attacking a few groups of animals.But as the weather got colder and colder, the animals on the prairie had almost migrated, not to mention hunting, there were a lot fewer prey that could be seen on the ground.

But who let all this be ordered by the partner?

Felines have a natural trust in their companions. Longya has learned this from his adoptive mother's companions very well, and firmly implements it.

Facing the villagers' complaints, he stopped them with a serious face: "Stop talking! Li Zhi is also for the good of the village. Has any of you ever seen him make a wrong decision?"

The voice of complaining suddenly disappeared, and everyone subconsciously recalled that the leader really hadn't made any mistakes.

It was the leader's wisdom that turned their village, which was originally full of the old, weak, sick and disabled, into the prosperous appearance it is today.

But some people are still dissatisfied: "I didn't make mistakes in the past, so I just wait for the representative to make mistakes now? We have been locked up for seven days, and nothing happened! I also heard the sound of cows nearby. What is the leader trying to do?"

The orcs regard raising prey in captivity as a waste and humiliation of their talents. In the past, it was fine for Li Zhi to raise bison in captivity, but now he keeps them here, but he is increasing the number of cattle.

Is this going to turn them into weaklings who humiliate their own hunting talents?

The person who spoke was Sisi, the male orc who didn't want to be separated from his partner before and asked Li Zhi to plead for mercy.

He recently heard that his partner was pregnant with his cub, and he was ecstatic, but because of the inexplicable isolation, he couldn't see his partner immediately, and he couldn't even share his joy.

Sisi was suffocating in his heart, and finally broke out at this moment.

The other orcs who had been in contact with Jin Ke and were forced to separate from their families were immediately aroused by his words and nodded in agreement.

"The leader said that smallpox was terrible, but seven days should be enough, right? How long are we going to be locked up?"

"My partner and I just had our first cub! We need enough food to survive this cold winter!"

"I can't wait any longer, when will we be let out?"

Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooows.

He didn't understand, Li Zhi was the leader, wouldn't it be good for these orcs to be obedient?Like him, even if he often doesn't understand what Li Zhi is doing and why he does it, as long as he is obedient, Li Zhi will reward him with a kiss.

Is this bad?

"Enough!" He finally couldn't bear it anymore, "Whoever wants to go out, I'll talk about it if I win!"

Everyone suddenly fell silent.

Longya is a dragon. Even the most ferocious predators on the grassland cannot defeat him, let alone those orcs who are not good at fighting and have even been expelled by the race.

"..."

Thinking of this, they suddenly remembered that it was Li Zhi who kindly took them in when they were displaced.

Otherwise they would have died long ago.

Many orcs couldn't help but blushed and closed their mouths in shame.

Sisi also shut up, but he was full of confidence that only his partner, and the cub in his womb, stopped provoking only because of Longya's forceful deterrence, and he was still anxious and unconvinced.

As a father for the first time, he really couldn't control his desire to return to his family.

What's more, aren't they all sick now?

Sisi stared at the door of the meeting hall, his eyes flickering.
