Chapter 124 Wormwood

"Brother Lu!"

In Taohuawu, Lu Chensheng is still sorting out the books in his mind. Recently, in order to write this book, he even cut off other books.

And at this moment, a hurried voice came from far away, and Lu Chensheng looked up.

That's when I saw Liu Wensheng hurriedly running in from the gate.

"Brother Liu, what's the matter, why are you so panicked?"

Lu Chensheng put down his brush and looked at the other party in surprise. He had never seen the other party acting in such a hurry before.

Liu Wensheng sat down and said, "Malaria has been discovered in Le'an Town. Thousands of people have been infected with the disease. If there is no way to cure it, I'm afraid..."

When Liu Wensheng said this, the look in Lu Chensheng's eyes showed the seriousness of the matter.

In fact, without Liu Wensheng's explanation, Lu Chensheng already knew the consequences of this matter.

With current medical methods, it is not that easy to treat patients.

"What methods are currently being used to treat patients?"

"I heard that Artemisia annua was used, but it was not effective."

Lu Chensheng frowned when he heard this. Artemisia annua does not have the effect of curing malaria, only artemisia annua can.

In addition, the cinchona tree can also be used, but this thing has serious side effects, and this thing is not cultivated in Jiangguo, so this option can be eliminated.

Although Artemisia annua can cure the disease, I don’t know if Artemisia annua without extraction is effective?

Lu Chensheng frowned, thinking about the knowledge about malaria.

Liu Wensheng watched from the side and did not dare to disturb Lu Chensheng. Among the people he knew, Lu Chensheng was the only one who was extremely capable.

Therefore, after learning about the incident, he notified Lu Chensheng as soon as possible to see if Lu Chensheng could do something about it.

"A dead horse is a living horse doctor. You go and collect Huanghao. It needs to be soaked in strong wine for a day and sent to Le'an Town for the patients to take."

After a while, Lu Chensheng raised his head and said to Liu Wensheng.

Liu Wensheng was startled when he heard this, "Why don't you use Artemisia annua to treat malaria? Why do you still need to soak it in spirits?"

Lu Chensheng glanced at him when he heard this, "Although I don't know if this method can cure malaria, but if you don't do it, I'm afraid there will be no cure."

Liu Wensheng nodded quickly when he heard this, knowing that now was not the time to dwell on this matter.

Seeing him turning around and about to leave, Lu Chensheng quickly stopped him, "By the way, apart from this, I will also have people collect mugwort and send it to Le'an Town. Some will be planted in the houses and some will be burned."

"I only planted mugwort during the Dragon Boat Festival, why now...?"

Liu Wensheng was confused. Lu Chensheng seemed to have a way to deal with it, but why didn't he understand it well?

Seeing the other party looking at him in confusion, Lu Chensheng shook his head helplessly. In ancient times, mugwort was planted during the Dragon Boat Festival to repel insects.

The Dragon Boat Festival happens to be a time when there are more mosquitoes. At this time, inserting mugwort can prevent mosquito bites.

Malaria is usually contracted through insect bites. Adding mugwort can naturally prevent infection from bites, and burning mugwort can kill some bacteria.

"You just need to do what I say, just wait."

After Lu Chensheng finished speaking, he went back to the house and wrote an article on preventive measures. Although malaria is contracted by insect bites, the situation in Le'an Town is unclear at the moment, so it is best to take more preventive measures.

After finishing writing, Lu Chensheng handed the paper to Liu Wensheng.

"No need to ask any questions, just do it."

Liu Wensheng read it carefully, his face full of confusion, because the content written on it seemed to have nothing to do with malaria at all.

Seeing Liu Wensheng hesitate to speak, Lu Chensheng waved his hand, "Okay, go quickly, remember that if the malaria is successfully cured, this is what you wrote and has nothing to do with me."

Lu Chensheng seemed to have thought of something and warned again, "If the malaria can be cured, you will be able to stand out in front of the emperor and become an official in Beijing."

Hearing this, Liu Wensheng looked at what Lu Chensheng wanted to say, but Lu Chensheng waved his hand, indicating that he should follow the requirements of the paper quickly.

Seeing this scene, Liu Wensheng nodded heavily, turned and left.

Qiong Yue slowly took a step forward at this moment, with a little curiosity in her eyes.

"Husband, why does malaria require mugwort?"

The customs of the Dragon Boat Festival include dragon boat racing and eating rice dumplings, and another one is inserting mugwort.

But this doesn’t seem to be related to malaria, right?

"Malaria is contracted from insect bites, and using mugwort to prevent insect bites is still effective."

Hearing this, Lu Chensheng glanced at his wife and replied.

Qiong Yue was startled when she heard this. Malaria is contracted by insect bites? If her husband hadn't said this, she would have never believed it.

But since her husband said it, she couldn't help but not trust him.

But, my husband actually knows medical skills?

"Why does my husband know so much, even this medical skill?"

Qiong Yue looked at Lu Chensheng with beautiful eyes, wondering if there was anything her husband didn't understand?

"I happened to have read some books, so I know it."

Lu Chensheng smiled when he heard this. The old man in his previous life had won the top prize. There was overwhelming news, and Lu Chensheng naturally knew a little about it.

"My husband knows a lot."

Qiong Yue heard this and looked at Lu Chensheng with her beautiful eyes. She had previously done things like water control and papermaking, but she had never seen her husband say he couldn't do it.

He seemed to know everything, which made her sometimes wonder if all the scholars who had studied were so powerful.

But later I met some scholars and found that this was not the case, such as Liu Qingying and Liu Wensheng. They had also read books and were all scholars.

But for things like treating floods, treating diseases, and solving crimes, you don't always have to ask your husband for advice.

From the looks of it, my husband seems to be more unique among scholars, as he seems to know everything.

"If malaria can be cured this time, there won't be any problem with Brother Liu's promotion."

Lu Chensheng waved his hand after hearing this, sat back down and started writing a book.

"Then why do you want to write this book again? I think this book cannot be worth the credit of curing this malaria?"

If malaria can be cured, then Jiang Guo will no longer have to be afraid of malaria. This should not be a book that can compare with it.

Although Lu Chensheng said it was possible to save her, in her opinion, it was not a problem for her husband to take action.

"This is a little different. If this book were to come out, it would be a great achievement."

Lu Chensheng shook his head when he heard this, and continued writing with his head buried in it.

Seeing this, Qiong Yue obediently made tea for Lu Chensheng and studied ink. At this moment, the delicate fonts appeared on the paper one by one.

There are two people in the house, one is studying ink and the other is writing, which looks very harmonious.
