Li Qun was also puzzled: Could it be that they were unhappy because they didn’t get any wolf meat?

Your Highness has said that these wolf meat and wolf bone soup are all irritants, and most of their people are injured, so they are left behind."

He and Sun Guang saw these soldiers strolling outside their camp. For the sake of harmonious coexistence between the two armies, they sent some food to them to satisfy their cravings, but they did not expect the Tenth Route Army to say this to them.

Not taking a shower for a year? How could they come up with that!

But Li Qun has always been mature. He is older and has a better temper.

He rubbed his stiff face, smiled, and said, "Brothers, let's drink soup today. I'll send you some roasted wolf meat tomorrow."

The soldiers of the Tenth Army looked at the pottery jar, and no one stepped forward.

Li Qun continued with a smile, "Don't worry, we take baths regularly. We not only take baths, but also wash clothes and wash hands before meals. This soup is very clean."

The soldiers of the Tenth Army felt a little embarrassed. They were caught saying bad things about others, and everyone felt a little awkward.

But when it comes to serving soup...

A young soldier whispered, "Is this soup from the pot with the dirt? If it has dirt in it, is it still drinkable?"

Li Qun was stunned for a moment, then he understood why they looked like that. He laughed heartily and explained, "Hahaha, you guys don't know, but we in the Dragon and Tiger Battalion are all from the north. Coming to our south, it's really uncomfortable to acclimate ourselves to the climate.

We put this soil in the soup to relieve the soldiers’ acclimatization problems.”

The soldiers of the Tenth Route Army were very curious. "If they are not used to the local climate, can we just release the soil?"

Li Qun explained: "Of course, but the soil is very particular. You can't just grab a handful of soil."

He looked towards the north, smiled, and then said, "As the saying goes, 'The land and water shape the people.'"

People like us from the north, when we leave our hometown and ride thousands of miles to our southern Xinjiang, some people will suffer from acclimatization problems, such as stomachache and diarrhea, which are the most common.

Others may feel nauseous, lose their appetite, have no energy, or have trouble sleeping.

For me, I just couldn’t sleep. During the first two days after I arrived, I couldn’t sleep all night long.”

Someone asked with concern: "General, it must be very uncomfortable not being able to sleep?"

Li Qun sighed and nodded, "Yes, my head is about to explode. I feel very sleepy, but I just can't fall asleep.

The Su family army was experienced; they brought several bags of soil from their hometown. We were inexperienced and didn't bring any.

Or maybe our Highness asked the Duke of Zhenguo to give us some soil. Do you know how precious this soil is?

So after our Longhu Camp and Su Family Army arrived here, we would grab a handful of soil from our hometown every time we cooked.

I put some dirt next to my pillow when I go to sleep, and I can sleep soundly."

"So magical?"

Li Qun smiled and said, "We put soil in the pot, did we scare you brothers? We are so sorry. We forgot that you brothers are locals. The soil from our hometown that we treasure is just garbage to you.

So, we can take this bone soup back and drink it ourselves. I'll have someone send some wolf club bones over, and you guys can make some soup for yourselves. But don't drink too much, as wolf meat and wolf bones are all irritants."

Li Qun's words made the faces of the Tenth Army blush.

The soldiers from the north came to help them, and they had no choice but to eat dirt, but they laughed at them. This is really wrong.

Li Qun waved his hand, and the soldiers carrying the wolf bone soup were about to return with the pottery jar. The short general beside him said quickly, "Thank you, brothers from the Dragon and Tiger Battalion. I really enjoy eating earth. Let me try the flavor of our northern Cangwu earth."

What I mean is: Thank you brothers from the Dragon and Tiger Camp, I just like to eat soil, let me taste the taste of our northern Cangwu soil.

"Let me try it too. If I drink this bone soup, will I not suffer from acclimatization when I go to the north?" The soldier who said at the beginning that the Dragon and Tiger Battalion did not take a bath for a year hurriedly laughed.

Li Qun smiled and said, "It's really possible."

Then everyone held out their bowls, talked and laughed, and the atmosphere became lively again.

Song Jinxiu was looking at the symptom information of the epidemic soldiers presented by Xiao Kuishan.

The typical symptoms of these plague soldiers are intermittent chills and fever, followed by profuse sweating, which relieves the symptoms. Strangely, these symptoms will recur.

Recurring attacks, why does this look like malaria?

She looked up information on malaria.

The interval between chills and high fever varies depending on the type of malaria parasite. If it's Plasmodium vivax or Plasmodium ovale, chills and high fever will occur two days apart. If it's Plasmodium malariae, the interval will be three days. If it's Plasmodium falciparum, the interval will be one to two days, and the fever pattern may be irregular.

If it is cerebral malaria, the fever may be accompanied by severe headache and even varying degrees of impaired consciousness.

The biggest source of malaria transmission is mosquito bites.

"An Yi, pass the order down to burn mugwort around the camp to repel mosquitoes."

"Yes,"

An Yi took the order and left.

Repelling mosquitoes is only a preventive measure, but for treating malaria, the best traditional Chinese medicine is artemisinin.

Artemisia annua is the main raw material of artemisinin.

Artemisia annua is also known as Artemisia capillaris. It tastes bitter, is cold and cool in nature, is non-toxic, and has the effects of clearing away heat, relieving summer heat, cooling blood, promoting urination, strengthening the stomach, stopping night sweats, and dispelling wind and relieving itching.

In the past, Artemisia annua was found throughout the country, especially in the eastern and southern regions, where it could be found on roadsides, wastelands, hillsides, and forest edges.

So, there should be one here too.

Song Jinxiu walked out of the tent and headed towards the nearby forest.

Song Jinfang, Su Chuan and the thirty-six guards hurried to follow.

Sun Guang wrapped the baked pot cake in leaves and trotted over.

"Your Highness, it's freshly baked. Eat it while it's hot."

Song Jinxiu smiled and picked up one, broke off a piece and put it in her mouth, "Hmm, not bad, very fragrant."

Sun Guang suddenly smiled with his eyes curved.

"Um, Your Highness, would you like to take a bath? I'll ask the brothers to boil some water."

Su Chuan frowned: "Isn't this General Sun overstepping his authority? They are responsible for the master's bathing. Why should a grown man like you take care of it?"

Song Jinxiu couldn't help laughing.

Although she had been in the tent, she still knew what had just happened.

"General Sun, even if we really don't bathe for a year, so what? It's wrong for soldiers to idle around and gossip about nothing, but as a captain of a thousand men, you need to be magnanimous. Otherwise, how can you be the commander of an army in the future?"

Sun Guang was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head and said, "Can I be the commander of an army?"

Song Jinxiu looked at him and said, "If you want, there are endless possibilities."

As he spoke, he gestured to An Qi to give him a military book, "Read more books when you have nothing to do."

"Yes."

Sun Guang held the book as if it were a treasure. In fact, he didn't know whether the book was good or not, but the princess's words made him excited.

"As long as you want, there are endless possibilities." Does this mean that the eldest princess is very optimistic about him?

Seeing Sun Guang laughing like a child, Song Jinxiu couldn't help laughing too. These generals were actually very cute, much better than those cunning old men in the court.

With a wave of his hand, he took out a big apple from his arms (space) and threw it out.

Sun Guang quickly caught it, looking surprised.

Song Jinxiu smiled and said, "It's a reward for you."

"Yes. Thank you for the reward, Your Highness."

Sun Guang winked at An Qi ostentatiously.

An Qi: Just one apple, is it really necessary to show off? They eat it all the time, right?

Song Jinxiu took a look around and found a few Artemisia annua plants at the edge of the forest.
