Chapter 060: Xiahou Minglan
Now Liu An was sure that Zhao Zhi's son should have goiter due to iodine deficiency.
And since his parents are fine, it's obviously not the salt problem.
So since there is no problem with salt, why is it that his parents are fine when they eat and live together, but he gets this disease?
Liu An had suffered from this disease in his previous life, so he knew that the daily amount of iodine required by normal adults and teenagers is different. Teenagers are about twice as much as adults.
However, not every family that eats little salt will get goiter. In addition to salt, there are other substances in life that also contain iodine.
It can only be said that in addition to eating less salt, Zhao Zhi's son happened to not eat much other foods containing iodine.
"I have suffered from this disease before, and I know that it can be cured by just a piece of soil. Please make some preparations and come to visit Mr. Zhao tomorrow."
After Liu An finished speaking, he boarded the carriage and returned to Zhending County.
Originally, he was planning to ask Zhao Zhi where his younger brother Zhao Yun studied art. Now that he knew that his son had a strange disease, Liu An planned to ask him tomorrow after solving the problem.
On the way, Liu Ming curiously asked Liu An when he had this disease, but Liu An just laughed and didn't answer.
He can't say that he succeeded in his previous life, but not in this life, right?
In his previous life, Liu An used modern drugs to treat goiter, but when he first fell ill, he also researched how to treat it without relying on drugs. That's why he dared to lie in front of Zhao Zhi.
Returning to Zhending County, Liu An searched the market but could not find any trace of wakame, seaweed and kelp. He had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and bought three stones of sea salt and some vegetables and eggs.
As far as Liu An knows, wakame is the food richest in iodine, followed by seaweed, and then kelp.
However, sea salt also contains iodine, so replacing Zhao Zhi's daily coarse salt with vegetables and eggs can gradually improve his son's condition.
On the second day, because they were familiar with the road, Liu An and others arrived at Zhao Zhi's house before noon. He asked people to move Haiyan down. Without waiting for Zhao Zhi's refusal, he said:
"This is something to cure your son's strange illness. Mr. Zhao must not refuse it."
"Can dogs' strange diseases really be cured?" Zhao Zhi still couldn't believe it.
Liu An then told Zhao Zhi in detail why his son was sick and what the specific symptoms were. Seeing that Liu An's words were clear and logical, Zhao Zhi gradually believed Liu An.
Afterwards, Liu An told him how to treat the disease and how much salt he should eat every day. Zhao Zhi wrote it down one by one and decided to act according to what Liu An said.
In his mind, it was just eating more salt anyway. No matter what happened, his son's life would not be endangered. Even if he couldn't be cured when he collapsed, it would not be worse than now.
Liu An finally added: "In this way, your son will be back to his original state within half a year at most."
"Thank you so much, Mr. Liu!" Zhao Zhi bowed his head to the end and sincerely thanked Liu An.
Liu An hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhao Zhi up, "It's just a small effort, I don't dare to accept such a great gift from Mr. Zhao."
"This is no different from living my son's life, please Liu Jun, I will pay you my respects..." Zhao Zhi insisted on bowing.
Liu An had no choice but to say half-jokingly: "If Mr. Zhao really wants to thank me, please take away those things in the car. I will run back and forth carrying heavy objects. If you are not tired, the horse will be tired!"
"This..." Zhao Zhi turned back to look at the people who were about to unload the cloth and silk, and said with a wry smile: "Liu Jun has said this, if you don't know what's interesting, you are being pretentious."
Liu Ming and others moved all the salt, silk and other items to Zhao Zhi's yard, and Liu An asked Zhao Zhi: "I wonder where your brother is studying now, so I might as well pay him a visit."
Zhao Zhi smiled bitterly and replied: "It's not that I don't want to tell Liu Jun, but it's actually my brother who is studying with his teacher and his whereabouts are uncertain. I don't know where he is now."
"Then we can only visit another day." Liu An said regretfully.
After unloading everything, Zhao Zhi wanted to stay with Liu An and his party as guests, but Liu An refused.
Zhao Zhi's son was still ill. Liu An knew that Zhao Zhi had no intention of entertaining guests at this time, so how could he stay here unreasonably.
Just as Liu Ang turned around and was about to get in the car and leave, a voice came from inside the house, "Wait a minute, Mr. Liu!"
The sound was not made by Zhao Zhi. Liu An stopped and looked at it in confusion.
I saw a young man who was not even tall enough to walk out of the house, came up to him, and saluted Liu An:
"Xia Houlan, courtesy name Fu Zheng, is a good friend of Brother Zhao's younger brother Zhao Yun. I heard that Liu Jun could cure Brother Zhao's son of a strange disease. I am very happy, but also want to see the wonders of the earth, so I am waiting here."
This person turned out to be Xia Houlan. Liu An bowed in return and said, "Tu Fang just eats more salt. It's not very good. It disappoints Xia Houjun."
At the same time, Xiahoulan's property panel was also opened to view.
Xia Houlan, courtesy name Fu Zheng.
Force:55
Intelligence:66
Command:53
Politics:68
Charm:56
Phase: 52
He was a useful talent, and Xia Houlan was still young and had room for growth, so Liu An immediately started recruiting him.
Xia Houlan smiled and said: "It is precisely because it only takes salt to show the magic. However, there is no effect yet, so we can't conclude that it will definitely take effect. However, I still want to ask Liu Jun to explain why this strange disease only requires
Can it be removed by eating salt?”
Liu An looked at Zhao Zhi and saw that he also had a curious look on his face. He didn't seem to be in a hurry to go back and take care of his son, so he explained half-truthfully:
"According to the doctor who treated me, there is a medicinal property in salt that is needed by the body. If it is missing, it will cause strange diseases. However, the amount required by each person is different. I guess that maybe Zhao Jun's beloved son needs more, and Zhao Jun needs more.
There was not enough salt in the house, so I got this strange disease."
Xia Houlan thought for a moment and then said: "That's it."
Then he looked at Zhao Zhi, and saw that after he got the answer, he already wanted to go back and take care of his son, so he said to Liu An: "It's not convenient to talk here, Mr. Liu, would you like to talk to me at your next home?"
"That's what I meant." Liu An smiled.
"Brother Zhao, I'll take my leave now." Xia Houlan said to Zhao Zhi.
Liu An also said goodbye to Zhao Zhi and followed Xia Houlan to his home.
The courtyard of Xiahoulan's family is much worse than that of Zhao Zhi's family. In Liu An's opinion, it is almost the same as Liu Bei's family.
It was also empty. No one came to greet Xia Houlan when he came back. I don't know whether his parents were here or not.
Liu An asked the others to wait outside, and only took Liu Ming to follow Xia Houlan into the living room of his house.
There are few decorations in the living room, with only two desks and futons remaining, allowing it to retain its basic function as a living room.
Xia Houlan invited Liu An to take a seat, then made some tea and placed it in front of Liu An's desk.
When Liu An saw this, he asked out of curiosity: "Is Mr. Xiahou living alone?"
After speaking, Liu An took a sip. The tea soup was bland and tasteless, obviously not much tea leaves were put in it.
Xia Houlan sighed and said with a sad face: "Three years ago, my parents passed away one after another. Since then, I have been living here alone."
"I hope you will be kind and considerate." Liu An didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only say this.
"No problem." Xia Houlan waved his hand and said to Liu An: "I see that Liu Jun is very handsome. Do you think Liu Jun is not an ordinary person?"
He had heard from Zhao Zhi that Liu An brought many gifts to visit Zhao Yun yesterday, so naturally he was rich or noble.
"Mr. Just farmers."
"Oh?"
Liu An is now wearing a set of common clothes, including underwear, jacket, coat, and robe from inside to outside. He travels in a tall horse-drawn carriage. He also brought many valuable gifts when he came to visit Zhao Yun.
