"But, Wu..."
The wrinkles on Mu Qing's face were almost knitted together.
"Don't worry, I can cure him." Yang Cheng interrupted him without waiting for him to finish, and nodded seriously.
Although the slaves are not considered members of the Qingque Tribe, and even if the slaves are taken out and burned, the tribesmen will not have any sympathy and feel cruel. On the contrary, both the members of the Qingque Tribe and other slaves will feel this way. It's normal and right to do.
Because everyone has a natural fear of disease, in everyone's impression, disease cannot be cured.
And Yang Chengcheng wants to break this perception of everyone and let everyone not be afraid of diseases.
Having witnessed the killing among primitive people, Yang Cheng felt no burden to kill a slave, but this was an excellent opportunity for experimentation.
Otherwise, if the slave is sick this time, next time Yan Lin, Xing and other beast-eared girls, or the totem warriors, or even him, Yang Cheng, will be burned?
Therefore, it is necessary to instill in everyone the understanding that being sick is not terrible and can be treated.
Seeing that Yang Cheng was so confident, the tension on everyone's faces eased slightly and they all looked at each other.
Finally, Cangshi asked anxiously: "Witch, do you have witchcraft to cure diseases?"
Everyone's eyes lit up. If this is the case, that would be great. Witches have witchcraft to cure diseases, and then everyone will not be afraid of getting sick in the future!
However, in the wilderness, it seems that no tribe has heard of witchcraft for treating diseases, not even those super large tribes...
Witchcraft to cure disease?
Do you mean burning talisman paper and drinking talisman water?
Yang Cheng was amused and shook his head: "No, it's not witchcraft, but something else called 'medicine'."
"medicine?"
Everyone was confused for a while, hearing this name for the first time.
"Well, I can't tell right now. You'll find out later."
After Yang Cheng said something to them, he waved and called Yang Bei outside the crowd.
Yang Bei was feeling uneasy. He was one of the people in charge of managing the slaves. He was also in charge of the slaves last night, but now something big happened to the slaves.
A slave becomes ill and may threaten the safety of the entire tribe.
If this was the tribe he lived in before, he would definitely be punished by the witch, have his hands broken, and be kicked out of the tribe.
Yang Bei looked nervous and was afraid: "Wu, you are looking for me..."
Yang Cheng smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, I will ask you a few things. Is this slave sleeping outside the house these days?"
Yang Bei's eyes widened and he said with surprise: "Wu, how do you know?"
Yang Cheng smiled and said nothing, motioning for him to continue.
Yangbei nodded repeatedly and continued: "Yes, that's it. Last night, many slaves said that it was too hot inside the house and that they couldn't sleep because of the heat, so they begged me to let them sleep outside the house. I saw that there were still people outside the house. There was a wall with barbs on it, and the slaves were not afraid of escaping, so they were allowed to sleep outside the house."
The slaves' houses are different from the houses of the Qingque tribesmen inside the wall.
The tribesmen's houses have open space right outside the door. There are no restrictions. You can go wherever you want.
As for the slaves' houses, in addition to the houses, there is a wall around the perimeter of the house. The walls are about three meters high, and there are also spiked plants hanging on them. This was built by the slaves themselves, and they have good self-management. Consciousness, in order to prevent oneself from escaping.
Yang Cheng narrowed his eyes and asked, "Did they wear more clothes?"
"Wear more clothes?" Yang Bei was confused, "What kind of clothes? Wu, not only did they not wear more clothes, they only wore one piece of ramie clothes."
Having said this, Yang Bei paused, pointed to the slave lying on the ground with a fever, and said, "And this guy wears even less clothes. Others wear a ramie suit to prevent mosquitoes.
But this guy didn't wear any clothes at all. I noticed him and asked him why he didn't wear clothes. He said that the ramie cloth was given by Wu You. "
"okay, I get it."
Yang Cheng nodded and said, "Bring out those slaves sleeping outside."
Yangbei responded, entered the slave's house, and shouted loudly.
Because one of the slaves was sick, the other slaves were very panicked, fearing that they might also be infected, so before that they all hid in the house and shivered.
At this time, under Yang Bei's loud scolding, they came out reluctantly.
Everyone's body was shaking and their faces looked frightened.
Because according to the tribe's method of dealing with diseases in the wilderness, all the sick people and those who had been in contact with the sick people were tied up and burned to death.
Except for totem warriors and witches, other ordinary people are treated like this, not to mention that they are just slaves of the Qingque Tribe. The Qingque Tribe has every reason to burn them all to death, just to spend a little more firewood.
Yang Cheng is not blind, and the fear and fear on the slaves' faces are clearly shown.
"You don't have to be afraid." Yang Cheng said gently: "I won't burn you to death. Instead, I will treat you. As long as you do what I say."
Yang Cheng has deep prestige among the Qingque tribe, and he always does what he says.
Under Yang Cheng's gentle words, the panic of the slaves gradually calmed down, and the fear and fear on their faces reduced a lot.
Then, under Yangbei's identification, the slaves who slept inside the house and those who slept outside the house were separated.
The slaves who slept inside continued to work, while the slaves who slept outside were supervised by others.
Yan Hu and other totem warriors took the illness of people in the tribe very seriously and personally took care of these slaves sleeping outside.
Yanhu's eyes were so wide that he was so frightened that these slaves did not dare to move, which made the seven or eight slaves who had just calmed down become nervous again.
Yang Cheng ignored them and had people carry the feverish slave lying on the ground into the house first.
Open the doors and windows of the house to ventilate and cool down.
Then let Yanhu and the others go to a well, fish out the ice-making pottery in the well, take out the ice cubes, wrap them in ramie cloth, and stick them on the slave's head, whose forehead is burning.
This has been recorded in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" and is called the ice cooling method.
After doing this, everyone found that the slave's condition seemed to be a little better, and he no longer felt like he was going to die at any time like at the beginning.
Everyone was immediately shocked, looking at Yang Cheng with surprise.
I originally thought that Yang Cheng was going to use some witchcraft, but I didn't expect that just opening the doors and windows and putting ice on his forehead would make the sick person's condition much better.
Everyone was surprised and praised.
Only Yang Cheng knew that this was not enough. Physical cooling methods such as ventilation cooling and ice cooling only treated the symptoms but not the root cause. To completely solve the fever, drug cooling was still needed.
Well, to put it simply, you still have to take medicine.
