Crossing the famine: The hunter's wife has good farmland

"Many people are sick. It looks like an infectious disease. Send a message to Xiao Tu immediately and ask them to cover their mouths and noses with cloths and try not to come into contact with the patients. I will take Linghua with me tomorrow to see what is going on."

Fu Cang's brows were tightly knitted together.

"No! The situation is unclear right now. You can't go over there rashly. What if something dangerous happens? I don't agree!"

Mo Xiaonian blinked, then suddenly stepped forward and hugged Fu Cang's arm.

"Husband, why don't you trust me? I would never do anything dangerous.

I'm a doctor and I know the most about these things. Besides, it's not certain whether it's an infectious disease or not. It's very likely that it was caused by those people drinking unclean raw water. If I don't go over and take a look, those people might be in danger of their lives.

Then we are just watching someone die without helping him!"

Fu Cang looked at Mo Xiaonian suspiciously.

"Why do I feel like you're so keen on doing these things now? This doesn't seem to be your personality before."

Mo Xiaonian hit Fu Cang in an angry manner.

"What do you think of me? I've always been so helpful, okay? You're so annoying!"

Fu Cang couldn't resist Mo Xiaonian's coquettish reproach.

He just couldn't understand why when Mo Xiaonian spoke to him so softly, he felt as if his heart had melted and he no longer had any thought of rejecting her.

"Since you are so determined, then go and take a look. Be sure to protect yourself. You can ask the person who brought the letter back to take you there.

But if you leave, what will happen to our black powder business? Will you just ignore me?"

Mo Xiaonian thought about it and realized that this was indeed a worrying thing.

The first time she went to the iron mine to carry out rock blasting operations, she had to follow along, otherwise if she let these barbarians tinker with them, there was no telling what might happen.

"Hasn't the black powder been produced in sufficient quantity? Besides, the fuse hasn't been made either.

While I'm away from home, you should make the black powder carefully and mix it strictly according to the proportions I gave you. You must be particularly careful in making it because it is a dangerous substance and can cause disaster if it is not handled properly.

When you make gunpowder, you must do it at home. I don't feel safe anywhere else. I will come back after you use up all the sulfur.

I will make the fuse and foreskin of the explosive pack on the way, so it won’t delay anything. I can assemble it when I come back and use it directly.”

Although Fu Cang was reluctant, he had no choice but to accept Mo Xiaonian's suggestion. The next day, he arranged twenty soldiers to protect Mo Xiaonian along the way. Mo Xiaonian took Linghua and another boy named Nantian who was studying with Fengming, and set off to where Xiao Tu was.

That place is tucked away in the mountains, with no village in sight and no shop nearby.

When Mo Xiaonian arrived there, he saw many animal skin tents.

Xiao Tu was standing on the outskirts of the camp, wandering around at a loss. When he saw Mo Xiaonian coming with some people, Xiao Tu's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Oh my god! Goddess, you are really my goddess. I was looking forward to it so much, hoping that the leader would send a few doctors here, but I didn't expect that you would come here in person! These people are so blessed now!"

"Xiao Tu, tell me what their situation is."

"Oh, these people are so miserable. They managed to survive the winter in this wind-sheltered valley, but now that the weather is getting warmer, they start to vomit and have diarrhea. Some of them are rolling on the ground with stomachaches.

There are 72 people here in total, 20 of them have contracted the disease, and one died the day before yesterday."

After listening to it, Mo Xiaonian felt that it did not seem to be an infectious disease.

"Did you separate the healthy from the sick?"

"Yeah, I still have some common sense. Goddess, look, those three tattered tents contain sick people, and these are healthy people. We usually stay away from those who are sick."

"You did the right thing. You don't feel any discomfort, do you?"

"Not yet. We are all very careful. We eat the dry food we brought with us, and the water we drink is filtered through gravel and charcoal, and then boiled on the stove, just as you told us."

"Okay, I'm going to go in and check on those patients now. Do you want me to say hello to their leader?"

"They don't have a leader now. There is a middle-aged man named Mu Lun who leads them. I want you to go find him and tell him."

The middle-aged man named Mu Lun had a sad face. Although the weather had started to get warmer, he still wore a fur hat.

When he heard that the Yueluo tribe had sent a doctor to treat their sick people, he knelt on the ground without hesitation and kowtowed three times to Xiao Tu and Mo Xiaonian.

Mo Xiaonian asked Xiao Tu to pull him up.

"You don't have to do this. I'll go see those patients now."

Mo Xiaonian put on a thick mask and also covered Linghua and Nantian with one.

Linghua really couldn't get used to wearing a mask. She felt like she couldn't breathe after putting it on.

"Do I really have to wear this thing? I can't breathe!"

Mo Xiaonian said calmly: "It's okay if you don't want to wear it. We don't know if the diseases those people have can be passed on to other people. If they can be passed on to other people, you don't have to go back to the tribe. Just stay here with these people to recuperate!"

"What a shame! You scare me every day, and I can't wear it!"

Linghua rolled her eyes at Mo Xiaonian, but her hands honestly pulled up the mask.

There was a sour smell in the tent. Except for Mo Xiaonian and the other three doctors, everyone else stayed outside.

Mo Xiaonian handed the body over to the original Mo Xiaonian. When she came to her senses, she had already taken the pulse of all the patients and quickly wrote out prescriptions.

Mo Xiaonian's expression relaxed a little.

"Their illnesses are caused by catching a cold. In addition, after the spring, the nearby stream water becomes extremely turbid due to the melting snow. Naturally, they get sick when they drink it."

Xiao Tu said in surprise: "But don't the people here all drink this water? Why do some people have problems while others don't?"

"Everyone's physical fitness is different. Some people have high immunity and can resist these, but some people with weak bodies cannot. I prescribe some medicine for them, and after they drink the medicine, they should be fine.

By the way, after these people are healed, are you going to take them back to the tribe?"
