Chapter 206: The Will of the people comes from the real benefits (1/2)
After Zheng took eighteen orphans under the age of six and thirty-seven or old or disabled warriors back to Jiu Yuan, Yan Mo had finally returned.
In the tribe, at this point there are two strange nouns, Fuqiantang (Child care) and Jinglingtang (Old people care) the vacant flanking rooms of The Official Conference Hall were used as the housing and both are to be specially taken care of.
Of thirty-seven old warriors, not all of them came alone by themselves. Some people have brought their own women, a total of nine extra people. These nine women are also aged women, they have no ability to give birth, and cannot do the hard work. Otherwise, The Old Priest will not necessarily willingly let them go.
In the Official Conference Hall, dozens of fire pans were set up, and the walls were partially filled with torches. The doors and windows were covered with thick animal skin curtains, and not even a little wind could not penetrate. The hall is big again, so it was warm for a half-day without being afraid of the cost of coal.
There is also a new roast meat on the fire pan, and the helper turns the grill back and forth to avoid the meat being over barbequed.
The frozen warriors and children who had been frozen all the way had just entered the hall, and suddenly felt that they had entered the early summer from the winter. The rich, fleshy scent also went straight into the nostrils, and their stomach growled. Some children couldn't help it when their saliva drooled.
”What are you still doing at the door? Come in!” Cao Ting warmly greeted everyone.
The children headed by Wu Chen wrapped the frozen children in fur skin and walked into the hall first, looking for a place to sit down.
There are no tables and chairs in the hall, only fur and grass mats placed around the fire pan. There are small tables in front of the mats, with water cans and stone bowls, stone knives and so on.
When the doors closed, the old warriors also found a place to sit down. Few people spoke because everyone stared straight at the barbecue on the fire pan, but no one started go ask for food. Even children are the same. Some children have long been hungry and have no strength. Their crying for food is so weak that they can’t be heard.
People in the medical groups such as Cao Ting and Wu Qing focused on caring for these children, and some disabled warriors whose injuries have not healed were also assigned to one place.
Scrubbing the wound, changing the dressing, everyone was busy, Yan Mo and Yuan Zhan wandered into the hall from behind.
When the people in the hall saw them appear, they immediately stood up from the mat and shouted: ”First Chief Da Ren, Mo Da Ren!”
In addition to the people who can't really get up, some of the old warriors were struggling to stand up with the help of others when their legs and feet couldn't move faster. They don't know what their fate will be. They are sent to Jiu Yuan by Chief. Some people are dissatisfied, but most people are secretly happy.
Jiu Yuan has no slaves, and even if Jiu Yuan wants slaves, and they will not let them remain as disabled. Jiu Yuan, who has enough food and is not allowed to eat human flesh, is not likely to kill them.
Although it is possible to use them as bait to capture the beasts, even this is death better than staying in Yuan Ji and so on. At least they can eat enough before they die, and some felt graciously that they can die like a warrior.
Yan Mo nodded to them, and Yuan Zhan waved his hand. ”Sit down.”
In addition to helping and caring for the children, everyone was seated.
Yuan Zhan did not say anything beautiful, and said directly: ”You are now here. In the future, you will be Jiu Yuan people, if I have a bite to eat, I will not starve you. Let's eat first, then have something to talk about.”
The people present are still unable to make a single move.
Yuan Zhan, disregarded them, he grabbed the barbecue on the fire pan rack in front of him and tore a piece of meat and started to chew. ”What do you look at? Eat it! Right! Mo said that you were hungry for a long time, you can't eat meat first, and you have to drink the bowl of noodle soup.”
The person responsible for cooking the noodle soup asked the active old warriors, told them to come together to take each a bowl, these people carried bowls of noodle soup delivered to everyone’ hands.
The hot and harmonious soup bowl is steaming with the scent of hot delicious air. How can these hungry people resist the magic of the soup? Hey old warrior look at me, I see you, and you may not be a civilized person. They just didn’t want to even move the food they kept staring at it for fear of doing the wrong thing, after seeing Chief Dai Ren have eaten theirs, and so many people urged them to eat, they also let go of their fear, some were holding the bowls and poured into the mouth, hotness noodles burning their mouth was not something they cared for.
Wu Chen and other teenagers were responsible for blowing the noodle soup a little, using a wooden spoon to feed the children, and only feeding the soup.
Yan Mo didn't sit down, Cao Ting was looking at him for help.
Yan Mo walked towards them. ”What's wrong?”
”Da Ren, look at these children.” Cao Ting was anxious and her face sad again.
Yan Mo knelt on the mat on one knee and looked at the children who were placed on the mat.
Six sick children.
One’s body seems to be bitten by a poisonous insects. It was all red and swollen. When you touch it, the child will scream and cry.
One injured his arm, and no one gave him a cure. His arm was bent wrong and he was burning up.
The other four are hungry and don't see how big it is, and one of them is a just a little toddler these four children, especially the baby, can't even move quickly, and his body was dirty.
Yan Mo has always been cruel to adults, but he is the most heart-felt person to the children. He observed the diagnosis and checked the pulse, and soon he was aware of the illness ailing the six children.
The bite that looks like a poisonous insect is the most terrible. In fact, it is easiest to cure it. Just scrub him several times with the herbal medicine and then let him take the medicine twice, and it will be almost cured.
”You have to learn more words soon, otherwise you can't remember the names of the herbs and the methods of refining that I told you.” Yan Mo explained the child's treatment to Wu Qing in detail, and asked him to be responsible for nursing the child to full health.
Wu Qing remembers the names of the herbs and when he started to sweat, Wu Chen and others also help him remember.
Yan Mo didn't bother him, saying that he would get the medicine out and wait for him to concoct it.
It is not a hassle to treat a bent arm. After giving him the tonic for the fever, break the bent bones from and let it grow again. The treatment is simple, but the child will suffer a big pain. Yan Mo intends to take the initiative to prevent any pain. He can use the golden needle to cut the child from any pain. He will let them handle the fever afterwards.
Many people say that Chinese medicine is slow, and Western medicine works quickly. Yan Mo disagrees at this notion.
In the medical records recorded in China, many doctors use a bowl of decoction to treat the disease. It is only that the status of ancient Chinese doctors was not high in the society. Under the circumstances that the rulers have no special requirements, no one will compile the medical knowledge and medical prescriptions of thousands of years in China, leading to many prescriptions and medical treatment methods to end up lost in time, and later there was a medical thought that “not hoping to acquire merit, just avoiding mistakes”. Many doctors are reluctant to take the risk of treating patients first and then recuperating them. They prefer to let patients drag on their ailment in the name of recuperation to slowly recover. Even the quick-acting decoction pills and the like are generally classified as the medicine of the ancient were rather discarded.
1]... not hoping to acquire merit, just avoiding mistakes is an idiom meaning “Take it easy and keep your nose clean.”
If it is a chronic disease or a disease that is not urgent, it can be treated like this, and the doctor can also reduce the risk of death However, in the case of acute illness or serious illness, such treatment is too conservative.
Yan Mo is naturally interested in medical skills, and does not like to stick to traditional medicine. He likes to research, likes experiment and is bold. If it can solve the problem of illness, and he will dare to mix any prescription. If not, and he would not have become a world-famous big country physician at a young age, and will not be banished to this fierce world.
To this end, and he dared to pat his chest and say that as long as he had the roots and leaves, he needed, and he could configure antipyretics and anti-inflammatory drugs that were no less effective than Western medicines and maybe even better than Western medicines.
To put it bluntly, Western medicine is just a matter of extracting the needed material from the roots and leaves. Traditional Chinese herbal medicine is similar to the method of refining the raw materials in order to obtain the effect of western medicine extracts.
To put it more white, Western medicine seeks the immediate effect, and Chinese medicine seeks the process plus the immediate effect and future changes.
Therefore, Chinese medicine is difficult, and good Chinese medicine is even rarer.
Yan Mo was planning a prescription according to the child's situation. Some people were timidly approaching and whispering: ”I, can we help?”
Yan Mo turned his head and saw several old women with hay covering the upper body squeezing together peeking at him.
”We can help take care of the children.” The women were at a loss. They are afraid of being treated as waste and being used as bait. They just want to be more useful and not to be abandoned so quickly.
Yan Mo smiled. ”That's great, we just don't have enough people. Cao Ting, you arrange these big sisters with the easy work that they can do.” When the women heard the Priest Da Ren, they were happily smiling.
