Lord of Rot

Chapter 120 Stupid Bloodletting Treatment

The dwarf carpenter Fra played a very important role in the early stages of Li Qi's research and development. Li Qi was also very fond of this "tool man" who could keep up with his own brain thinking. When he arrived at Fra's house, the tall man The maid greeted him with a big belly.

"Good day, my lord!"

"How's Fra?"

"He may be dying soon." She looked sad. She didn't know whether it was because her unborn child no longer had a father, or because the mainstay of the family had disappeared, which made her very pessimistic about her future life.

Li Qi turned to the people following him and said, "Get the pharmacist."

The situation in Porcupine Territory is much better now than when Li Qi just traveled through time. At that time, there was no pharmacist in Porcupine Territory. He was injured and dying, but he could only go to Iron Stone City to hire a scholar as an apprentice. Ordinary people got sick and had no choice but to wait for death.

However, with the development of Li Qi, Porcupine Territory is developing towards a relatively complete small village.

Although this development is entirely supported by his own money, the financial balance is not healthy.

Li Qi entered the bedroom.

On the bed, the dwarf carpenter saw Li Qi coming and struggled to get up, but Li Qi stopped him: "Lie down, my friend."

"I'm very sorry, sir." Fula's voice became extremely weak as she spoke. Moreover, there was an obvious bitter smile on his face, and he kept biting his teeth, as if he was in great pain.

There was a white cloth on his head, and the smell of medicine leaked out.

"How did he fall ill?" Li Qi turned to the tall maid with a big belly and asked.

"He was accidentally cut open on the top of his head by a nail while he was working. It was a cut as long as a finger. Oh my God, my poor Fra, he looks so miserable."

When she mentioned her husband, the tall maid couldn't help but blush. "He couldn't even open his mouth to eat. His teeth were clenched tightly. I tried to tear up the bread and mix it with wheat to make porridge." It went into his mouth, but he couldn't open his mouth at all. Then I tried to buy some milk. Fortunately, he could still swallow the milk, but his health was getting worse day by day."

Anyone with eyesight can see it. Fula is now at the end of her tether.

After hearing what the tall maid said, Li Qi probably understood.

It's tetanus.

In this world, Li Qi didn't even know how to treat tetanus. Maybe a pharmacist would have a way, maybe a scholar would have a way, or maybe magic.

The lord ordered someone to be found, and the pharmacist arrived quickly, carrying a wooden box on his back.

"Is there a way to treat him?" Li Qi valued the carpenter Fula very much. Of course, personal emotions played a very important factor in this.

The pharmacist shook his head gently: "I'm sorry, sir, this disease will gradually weaken his heartbeat. I have come to see him before, but Mr. Fola's disease is more serious than others. Of course, we can also use some methods." For a more extreme and risky approach, maybe try bleeding him."

In this world of magic, faith, and dragons, the development of science can be said to be extremely slow.

Ordinary people have learned to fend for themselves, while nobles are accustomed to reciting a spell to solve problems. Even if the problem cannot be solved with a spell, they can still pray to the gods.

When praying to the gods is really useful, people will not take the initiative to delve into it, because they will firmly believe that everything they can get is a gift from the gods and a blessing from the gods.

Since I have devoted all my efforts to study science, and in the end it is only the blessing of the gods, then why don’t I just pray to the gods directly from the beginning, and then wait for the blessings of the gods.

As a result, the ignorant bloodletting treatment became rampant on this continent.

Although there is no formal concept of a doctor in the continent of Lurea, pharmacists and some scholars can indeed assume the functions of some doctors at the same time.

Scholars may be better, they know alchemy, and their study of the human body is more detailed.

Ordinary pharmacists are different. They firmly believe that blood is the source of life for the human body, and illness is caused by problems with the blood in the body. Therefore, no matter what kind of illness it is, it can be treated by bloodletting, including headaches, colds, Fever, even aging.

Few people survive bloodletting, but countless people die from this method.

There was also a story in the book Li Qi had read about a pharmacist who bled pregnant women for treatment. He put leeches on the belly buttons of pregnant women and let the leeches burrow in. The results are self-evident.

"No one will be bled in Porcupine Ridge." Li Qi looked at the pharmacist and emphasized his tone.

As a lord, he must ensure that his subjects do not die due to stupid treatment methods.

The pharmacist did not argue because he himself was not proficient in bloodletting and did not dare to try it easily.

"Sir" Fula seemed to have something to say: "Sir, I know that my life is coming to an end. Although it is a pity that I can't return to the Golden Wheat Field, please believe me, Porcupine Ridge is already my second Two hometowns. Here are the things I made with my own hands. I see Porcupine Collar getting better and better. I love it here deeply."

"Relax, my friend." Li Qi did not comfort him.

Because there is really no treatment plan for him now.

Looking at the carpenter with a difficult expression, Li Qi asked the pharmacist: "Is there anything that can make him feel more comfortable? At the end of his life."

"Yes, sir, I can prepare some potions for him, which will make him temporarily forget some of his pain."

After receiving the order, the pharmacist immediately opened his small medicine box and began to prepare. There was a small bottle the size of a thumb in his medicine box.

This one looks very thin and translucent. The stone bottle is like a glass gem, and the mouth of the bottle is plugged with a wooden stopper.

He pulled out the stopper, took out the desired portion and poured it on the wooden box, then used a small medicine stick to stir the mixture together, and then used a little white liquid in the small bottle to mix it into small pills. Li Qi guessed that the white liquid might be some kind of addictive substance.

Li Qi took the medicine and helped Fu La take the medicine with his own hands. The effect of the medicine was very good, but after a short while, the eyes lying on the hospital bed gradually became more focused and the person became energetic. stand up.

"In the last moment of my life, I hope that you can do me a favor."

"Speak, my friend."

"I would like to ask you to preside over a wedding and let my wife Cao Ya marry my apprentice Sharp Nose. We all know that you are a benevolent lord. Please rest assured that whether it is Sharp Nose or Cao Ya, we have already discussed it. They did not reject the marriage."

Li Qi was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, I will agree."

This is a inheritance method that Li Qi has known for a long time. When the master is about to die, he will marry his wife and children to his apprentice.

It is better than being an orphan and a widower, all alone and helpless.

The apprentice can get everything from the master, and it is also his responsibility to take care of orphans and widows.

There are even some old craftsmen who, even if they have no sons but only a beautiful wife, will choose to entrust their wives to their apprentices.

The apprentice represents the inheritance of his craft. If there is no man to support his shop, then his shop will disappear in the blink of an eye.

Li Qi did not disturb them for the rest of the time. He left the rest of the time to Fula's wife and his apprentice.
