Wilderness Redemption Tour

Low temperature and humidity will aggravate the condition of tuberculosis, so patients with tuberculosis are best to live in a warm and dry place. Blackwater Town, where the Van der Linde gang escaped before, and the entire New Austin State are good places, but it's a pity that they can't go back there now.

The reason why Arthur's condition worsened recently was not only because of his hard work in the past period of time, but also because of the heavy rain that lasted for a whole day on the day of the bank robbery. In addition, since the camp moved to Rakai, the humid air here has also caused Arthur's condition to continue to slowly deteriorate.

But the camp cannot be moved for the time being, at least until Dutch finds his way here, so Hosea's advice to Arthur is: treat yourself as a piece of barbecue.

If there is no warm and dry natural environment, then we can only create it ourselves. For this reason, Arthur had to move out of the house. Everyone temporarily built a perfect bed for him surrounded by fire on three sides. Arthur lay on the middle bed, and from a distance it looked like he was being cremated, which was very scary. The consequence of this was that the use of dry firewood in the entire camp soared sharply. The stock for the next few days was used up on the first night. The workload of the people in charge of collecting firewood in the camp increased several times the next day. In just two days, there was no firewood to collect near the camp. In order to save trouble, this group of people simply changed to cutting trees directly...

After talking for a long time, Hosea only mentioned the living environment, but he didn't say anything about some preventive measures in daily life. Lin Yan thought he had forgotten, so he kindly reminded him, but he didn't expect that Hosea had no awareness of this at all.

"In life? How to prevent it in life? Isn't what I said enough?" After Lin Yan reminded Hosea, not only Hosea, but also the other three people looked at him with confusion.

Lin Yan then realized that people of this era were still at an elementary level in their understanding and prevention of infectious diseases. Even an old man like Hosea who read newspapers all day had only a vague understanding of how diseases were transmitted, let alone preventive measures in life.

Facing everyone's curious gazes, Lin Yan cleared his throat and told them some measures he had summarized based on the aftermath.

"First of all, as a patient, Arthur should not spit casually in the future. He should avoid coughing and sneezing towards others, and even keep a certain distance from others when talking. As a carrier of the virus, Arthur's sputum contains a large number of germs. Spitting and droplet transmission are one of the easiest ways to spread the disease. Secondly, take out a separate set of tableware for Arthur to use, even coffee cups are no exception, for the same reason as above. Finally, pay more attention to rest. The aggravation of tuberculosis symptoms is closely related to the patient's physical health. Arthur has not had a proper rest since moving to Shady Belle. Now that John is back and the gang has no short-term goals, Arthur needs to rest well for a while."

"Tomorrow I will accompany you to St. Denis to see the doctor and see what he says. After that, you can just stay in the camp and recuperate." Lin Yan said to Arthur in an unquestionable tone.

Arthur shrugged uncomfortably, with a look of helplessness on his face: "Okay, I'll do as you say."

Lin Yan planned to give Arthur the "miracle medicine" in his hand when he returned from Saint Denis tomorrow, but he felt that this series of measures should still be implemented. After all, this medicine could not cure the disease immediately after drinking it. He could not be sure whether Arthur would infect the disease to other people again during this period. Therefore, the safest way was to observe him in this way for a period of time until it was confirmed that Arthur was completely cured or his physical condition had greatly improved before recovering.

Hosea had seen too many things in Lin Yan that puzzled him. At the same time, Lin Yan was also the strangest guy he had ever seen in his life. An old cowboy who had been in the West for many years should not have trusted an outsider in such a short time, but this young man had a kind of magic that made people feel at ease. So even though this new young man made decisions on gang affairs again and again, he always expressed his support with actions. Looking back on it later, even he himself felt incredible.

After visiting his new "bed", Arthur, who had drunk enough water, lay down in the middle of three fires like a prisoner being taken to the execution ground. The three fires were quite far away from his bed, so he didn't have to worry about sparks from burning wood when sleeping. However, the disadvantage was also quite obvious, that is, it was hot. There was nothing he could do about it. In order to maintain a warm and dry environment, this problem was unavoidable, so Arthur had to put up with it for the time being.

When Arthur's bed was being made, his illness was also known to others. No one avoided him because he had an infectious disease. Everyone sent their blessings, because everyone knew that the one who contributed the most to the gang was not Dutch, the spiritual leader, but Arthur, the doer.

"I hope that when you wake up tomorrow morning you will see a living person instead of a piece of dried meat." Arthur did not forget to make fun of himself before going to bed.

"Then we have a solution for tomorrow's breakfast." Lin Yan also replied with a smile.

The next morning, Lin Yan got up early. He was always thinking about Arthur's situation. Actually, it couldn't be said that he was thinking about him. Curiosity would be a more appropriate description. He was very curious about how Arthur, who had been "slow roasted" for a night, was doing now.

When he came out of the house, Lin Yan saw Arthur, who was naked from the waist up, walking back from the abandoned dock nearby. The three fires beside his bed had all gone out, with wisps of smoke rising from them, and it looked like they were still warm.

"Good morning." Lin Yan stepped forward and greeted him.

"Good morning." Arthur replied, picked up his own cup of water and took a sip.

"How did you sleep last night? Was it warm enough?" Lin Yan asked with a smile.

Arthur patted his bare upper body, then pointed to his lower body which was only in a pair of shorts, "It is indeed warm enough, even a little too warm."

Lin Yan waved his hand: "Let's put aside the question of whether it's hot or not, what about other aspects? For example, breathing, and mental state, how is it compared to before?"

Arthur touched his chin and felt it carefully and said, "Tsk, you know what, after your reminder, I do feel a lot more comfortable than in the past few days, but I'm a little exhausted. I woke up four times from heat and thirst this night. If you don't believe me, feel it, the blanket on my bed is soaked..."
