My god, run!!!

Living in this chaotic world, with such heavy snow, I wonder how many ordinary people will freeze to death or starve to death! Zhou Zheng sighed in his heart.

Suddenly Zhou Zheng heard Zhao Hu's shouting in the distance, and Zhou Zheng hurried over.

Seeing Zhao Hu's anxious look, he asked, "What's the matter?"

"Go check on Hua Rong and Yi Pao! They both seem to have caught a cold and are shivering. They have no strength left and their condition is quite serious. We need to go to the county town and find a doctor to see them."

Zhou Zheng walked over and saw Hua Rong and Yi Pao, both of whom were trembling. He touched their foreheads and took their pulses. They had fever, shivering, and general weakness. Hua Rong and Yi Pao were suffering from malaria.

Hua Rong and Yi Pao both had excellent physical qualities and rarely fell ill. This was entirely due to acclimatization problems. The temperature difference between the south and the north was significant. Hua Rong and Yi Pao had essentially been begging for food in Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan, where the climate was hot and humid. The north's climate, on the other hand, was dry and cold, and the human body couldn't adapt to the environment all at once, leading to illness. Furthermore, they often lived in wilderness and caves, where there were many mosquitoes. Mosquito bites, coupled with the cold weather and acclimatization problems, made it easy for them to contract malaria.

"Are you two still able to ride horses in your current condition?" Zhou Zheng asked Hua Rong and Yi Pao.

"I can still... ride, big brother." Yipao replied tremblingly.

"Me...me too." Hua Rong also echoed tremblingly.

"You two have malaria. We need to go to the county town ahead and find a hotel to stay in so we can treat you. Malaria is no joke."

The two men were clearly frightened by Zhou Zheng's words. "Malaria!" It was a life-threatening disease. In this day and age, if you got it, you'd be utterly devastated. Many ordinary people died from malaria because they didn't get timely treatment.

Hua Rong and Yi Pao were lying when they said they were not afraid.

Zhao Hu, standing by, was also visibly startled when he heard Zhou Zheng say this. "Malaria?" This was no joke. He knew that many officers and soldiers in the Nationalist army had died from malaria after contracting it for a long time and not being able to be cured. This was far more terrifying than casualties in combat.

He and Zhou Zheng hurriedly helped Hua Rong and Yipao onto their horses, and then galloped towards the county town. When the four of them arrived at the county town, Zhou Zheng found a hotel to stay in.

At this time, Hua Rong and Yi Pao were in very poor health and were both delirious from the burns.

Zhao Hu hurried to ask a doctor to come and see him, but Zhou Zheng said there was no need to go to such lengths, as malaria was just a minor illness and there was no need to exaggerate. He asked Zhao Hu to just go and get some hot water.

"Malaria is a minor issue? In this day and age, malaria can be fatal. Look at the condition of these two people now."

"Just go when I tell you to, trust me." Zhou Zheng nodded at Zhao Hu.

After hearing what Zhou Zheng said, Zhao Hu shook his head and went to get some hot water. When Zhao Hu came back with the hot water, he saw that Hua Rong and Yi Pao had already been given intravenous drips.

Zhao Hu opened his mouth wide when he saw it, "This...this..."

"Don't make a fuss. I did it all. I told you malaria is a minor problem."

This Zhou Zheng is so mysterious, no wonder Yipao said that Big Brother Zhou Zheng himself is very capable! There are many abilities you haven't seen yet!

Zhou Zheng fed Hua Rong and Yi Pao some medicine again, and when all the drips were finished, their fevers subsided.

When Zhao Hu saw all this, he was amazed. This was malaria. How could the fever go away in such a short time under the current medical conditions?

Zhao Hu had no idea that Zhou Zheng was already a doctor before he traveled through time. He was a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner from his family and studied the integration of Chinese and Western medicine.

In later generations, malaria was really just a minor problem because of artemisinin invented by Ms. Tu, which is a killer of malaria.

Zhou Zheng wrote another prescription and gave it to Zhao Hu, asking Zhao Hu to get some Chinese medicine and boil it himself for Hua Rong and Yi Pao to eat.

Zhao Hu is numb now, and whatever Zhou Zheng says is what he believes.

Malaria is usually spread by mosquitoes. Zhou Zheng and his companions mostly lived in forests and caves, where there were many mosquitoes. Hua Rong and Yi Pao were bitten by mosquitoes, and coupled with some acclimatization problems and the cold weather, it was normal for them to contract malaria.

Sleeping outdoors in the mountains and caves for a long time, although Zhou Zheng provided very thick cotton wool and quilts, the moisture inside was very heavy. If this continued for a long time, there would be problems with the body. Not everyone is as abnormal as Zhou Zheng.

In addition, the winter in the north is really too cold and the chill is too severe, so you must take Chinese medicine to regulate your body. The chill entering the body is no joke.

Even if many people in later generations have heavy cold and dampness in their bodies, and cold air enters their bodies, it is very difficult to treat. Without seeing a Chinese doctor, it is impossible to cure it. Not to mention that in this era, people lack clothes, medicine and food. If they don’t receive timely treatment, they will basically go to the underworld.

After a while, Zhao Hu came back with some Chinese medicine, and Zhou Zheng took the medicine and went to decoct it.
