Chapter 15 Malaria
Seeing Li Zhi agreeing to pay, Li Yanran was also stunned.
She still has a lot of useless rhetoric, and she hasn’t yet used the pyramid schemes that will be seen in future generations.
Is this a compromise?
Could it be that people from the Tang Dynasty are so easy to deceive?
"Brother, if you don't ask me how the perfume is made, how am I going to sell it? Are you just going to agree?"
Li Yanran looked at Li Zhi, Bai Guan said more, not too much, not too much,
Giving yourself a nine-year-old child so easily?
Don’t you know he is a fool?
There is still too much money and nowhere to spend it.
"Brother doesn't need to know this. The money I give is for my younger brother."
Li Zhi smiled slightly and touched Li Yanran's head.
Don't tell me, Li Yanran's hair is really shiny and feels very smooth.
"Brother, I'm not a child, don't touch my head."
Seeing Li Zhi's actions, Li Yanran's little face instantly pouted.
It was true that she was a child, but that was only in front of her own mother-in-law.
If you do this, how can I call you brother in the future?
Li Zhi just nodded, but his hands kept stroking Li Yanran's hair.
Li Yanran now only feels like the cat she raised in her previous life, and Li Zhi will be the shit shoveler now,
This is such a shame.
If he couldn't beat him himself, he wouldn't have let Li Zhi taste the beating from society.
Just when Li Zhi was enjoying the fun of playing with the cat, the door of the private room was pushed open, and a guard whispered a few words into his ear.
"Well, I'll leave first if I have something to do. Leave an address and the money will be sent to you naturally."
After the guards left, Li Zhi left a few words and left directly.
"Sir, do you need me to send someone to check the identity of this young man?"
Li Zhi got on the carriage that had been prepared, and the driver was Ruian.
"No, I have to wait for him to tell me, let's go."
"yes."
"Walk."
Li Yanran found someone to write down the address and left it for the waiting guards. She also left the restaurant and rode her little donkey towards Li Zhaoxing.
"Congratulations to welcome the young lady back home."
After entering the house, ten women, led by Granny Zhang, saluted Li Yanran together.
"this..."
Looking at the woman who had finished washing, Li Yanran was also stunned.
Although her house is large, there are not many servants in the house, and she has never experienced such a battle.
"Okay, Nanny Zhang, please go down first. I have something to ask them."
Li Yanran waved her hand to Grandma Zhang, and she left in a sensible manner.
"What's your name?" Li Yanran looked at the eldest woman and asked.
"My real name is Zhou Qing. If Miss doesn't like it, please give me your maid's name."
Zhou Qing slightly saluted Li Yanran. Generally speaking, slaves sold into slavery are no longer qualified to have their own names. Everything is decided by the master's family.
"If you have anything to offer me, just call me by your original name. See if you are a well-educated person, how could you be reduced to selling yourself into slavery?"
Li Yanran shook her head. She had no interest in giving other people names as maidservants. Her own name was given by her parents. She was not the other party's mother, so she had no right to point fingers.
"Miss Hui, this slave is from Shaozhou, Lingnan Province, and her family is quite wealthy. However, there was a sudden epidemic in Shaozhou, and the people were displaced, and not even one out of ten people survived.
The parents and brothers of the slaves were all on the way to escape. In desperation, they had no choice but to sell themselves into slavery in order to survive."
Zhou Qing's eyes turned red when she talked about her life experience. Although her family was not rich in the past, they were still relatively wealthy. Her father taught her how to read and write and pampered her very much. She never expected that she would end up like this.
situation.
"A big epidemic? Please tell me specifically what kind of epidemic it is?"
A flash of light flashed in Li Yanran's eyes, and sure enough, there was something going on here.
If she couldn't survive, why would she sell herself into slavery at such a low price?
There is a major epidemic in the empire. If my father can make some contribution, when Changsun Wuji is executed, will my family be able to have more security?
"I don't know what happened during the epidemic. I only know that people infected with the epidemic feel weak all over, then develop fever and headache, followed by vomiting, fainting, swollen limbs, and in the end they die."
"Isn't this malaria?"
Li Yanran was also stunned when she heard this symptom. What the other person said was exactly the same as malaria in later generations.
But can malaria really kill people?
This can also be called a pandemic, which is really beyond my imagination.
"Malaria? Some doctors said that this is called miasma that enters the body. Once it penetrates into the bone marrow, there is no cure. Does the young lady still know the art of Qihuang?"
Zhou Qing looked at Li Yanran who looked surprised and was stunned. Is his young lady so powerful that she can't even do medicine?
"I understand a little bit, I understand a little bit."
Li Yanran is now certain that the malaria recorded in ancient times seems to be called miasma, which is an infectious disease caused by mosquito bites.
There are many ways to treat malaria, but they can only treat mild cases. There seems to be no particularly effective method for those who are really serious. It was not until Goddess Tu discovered artemisinin that people had a real understanding of malaria.
Special medicine.
Although she did not have modern technology to extract artemisinin, she knew that artemisinin could treat malaria.
If the epidemic in Lingnan Road is really serious, then the hope of saving my family's life will be greatly increased.
After Li Yanran thought about it, she asked Zhou Qingfa again: "Didn't the local government notify the court to rescue the epidemic?"
"The imperial court? The governor of Shaozhou abandoned the state and fled as early as the outbreak of the epidemic. Shaozhou Biejia did not run away, but he contracted the epidemic, that is, malaria, within a few days. Unfortunately, he died. The remaining officials also died.
, even if you run away, who has the time to report to the court?"
"Okay, let's all go down and rest."
Li Yanran saw Zhou Qing was about to cry again, and couldn't help but feel a headache. After comforting her, she let them go to rest.
"Old Li."
Li Yanran looked at Li Feng aside, wondering what he was thinking.
"Miss?"
Li Feng looked confused.
"This Zhou Qing is very handsome, and his manners and manners are good. Do you want a wife?"
Li Feng looked at the demonic Li Yanran and his whole body felt bad.
Isn’t this party over? Why is it happening again?
"don't want."
Li Feng took out three dry plums from his pocket and pushed them into his opponent's hands, then left and went back to his house.
"Malaria, it's nothing, let's see how this girl handles you."
She grabbed the plum in her hand and bit off half of it in one bite. The rich juice instantly filled her mouth.
"It's so sweet."
After that, Li Yanran came to the backyard again, sat on the swing and started sorting out what she wanted to do now.
Alas, who made his life miserable? He was under undue pressure at a young age.
First of all, the epidemic is very important, but since I am weak, I still have to borrow the power of my father and mother to act, or get an amulet for my father. After all, curing the epidemic is a great merit.
Second, you need to confirm what the current name of Artemisia annua is and stock up in advance.
The third is to purchase some tools, and the production of perfume must be carried out simultaneously. After all, there are more than ten beautiful little ladies who need to be pampered by her.
The next day, Li Yanran got on her beloved little donkey again and left the house with Li Feng, the gourd.
"My little friend, are you okay?"
