Volume of Changning Kingdom: Chapter 20: Miraculous Medicine (2)
A "prisoner" like himself only does menial work on weekdays and has no chance to get on the boat. Let alone wait for an opportunity to steal medicine. What if he secretly swims on the boat at night? With his water nature, this is a piece of cake. But Australia
The man's ship is so big, he has no idea where the medicine is hidden and what the medicine looks like. The most terrible thing is that he is illiterate. Even if the magic medicine is placed in front of him, he can't recognize it. There are also things on the ship.
They were heavily guarded, and if they rashly boarded the boat and ransacked it without stealing anything, they would definitely die if they were caught.
Lin Laowu thought about it and suddenly thought that Tao Liliu had recently been chosen by the thieves because he was literate and became the health worker's "errand boy", doing odd jobs for the health worker. He had access to this magical medicine.
If there is a chance, the only way is to bring this kid in.
Lin Laowu thought about it, and finally woke up Tao Liliu who was sleeping soundly beside him.
"Brother Lin, are you not sleeping? Why did you wake me up!?" Tao Liliu lost his temper when he saw it was Lin Laowu.
"Xiao Liu, let me ask you something..."
"Let's talk about it tomorrow! Why do we have to say anything so late at night? We still have to go to work tomorrow!"
"I think it's going to rain heavily tomorrow, so there's no need to go to work, hehe... Xiaoliu..." Lin Laowu said with a smile on his face, "Xiaoliu, you..."
When Tao Liliu saw that he was smiling but not smiling, he thought he had some evil thoughts again, and his heart went crazy. He quickly sat back and said, "If you have anything to say, tell me!"
Lin Laowu knew that he had misunderstood, and quickly said: "Xiao Liu! I didn't mean that! I just want to ask, do you know what kind of medicine he takes to get better for the man who has the disease?"
"You know, it's 'quinine sulfate' that the chief issued. Don't you drink this medicine every day? It's a bitter medicine."
"Quinine sulfate?" The name of this medicine made Lin Laowu feel that it was too weird. It sounded like something from a ghost. He didn't give up and asked again, "Then, what is this quinine sulfate made of?"
?”
"Boil?" Tao Liliuda shook his head, "No, the health worker asked me to boil several large buckets of boiling water every day. After it cooled down, he would bring a glass jar over and use a spoon to dispense the medicinal powder.
Put a few spoons in the bucket and let me mix it up. Then I can carry it out for everyone to drink..."
"Then what is this powder?"
"I'm not a doctor or a pharmacist, so how would I know?" Tao Liliu said, "I just know it's gray-white powder, very fine."
"Where did you get this powder?"
"Well, Lao Wu, why are you asking this?" Tao Liliu was a little strange. At this moment, he had completely lost his sleepiness and simply sat up.
"This..." Lin Laowu rolled his eyes, thinking that this brother was not a bad person, so he followed what Xianshui sister said. Basically, in Xianshui sister's hometown, many people got the disease, and some people died of the disease.
, some people live a life that is worse than death. Therefore, they look for cures everywhere.
I finally learned that Australians have a miracle medicine here, but I was rejected when I asked them for medicine. I had no choice but to make this decision. I hope they can help get some Australian miracle medicine to cure the diseases of the whole village.
Finally, Lin Laowu vividly described to Tao Liliu how pitiful and filial the Xianshui girl was. Of course, the most important thing was that the Xianshui girl said that in order to repay their life-saving grace, she
The sisters in the village will also know how to repay their kindness and repay their benefactor, whether it is money or body, they will be allowed to be chosen by the benefactor. They also said that there is a lot of gold sand there, and if they want to go gold mining there, it will also make...
Most of these words were made up by Lin Laowu, but later he began to believe them.
These words moved Tao Liliu. Although he thought it would be good to join the Australians, there was still a "trial period" before he could officially join the Australians. After he officially joined the Australians, he would just be a laborer, sailor or the like.
, although the food and clothing are not bad, it is not necessarily that good. On the contrary, there are many more rules to abide by, which is far less free and happy than being a pirate.
If you can get the magic medicine, exchange it for a sum of money, and find a suitable place to stay, regardless of whether there is gold sand to be found, at least you won't have to live a rootless life wandering on the sea.
Having made up his mind, Tao Liliu decided to join the gang. He told Lin Laowu that the medicine jars were not placed in the "infirmary" in the camp, but on the Hailan. There was another infirmary there with all the precious medicines and equipment.
They are all stored there, and people will be sent to get them when they are needed. A person of his status would not be able to get on the ship to get the medicine.
"Doesn't that mean there is no other way but to board the ship and steal the medicine?"
"If you want to get on the ship, it's not impossible." Tao Liliu rolled his eyes, "It's just that Brother Lin, you have to endure some hardships."
"What kind of suffering can't be punished by a knife?"
"That's not a big deal, it's just a needle prick on my finger."
Tao Liliu said that those who can be sent to the ship's infirmary to be seen by doctors are those with relatively serious conditions. As long as you can enter the infirmary, you can see where the medicine is placed, and you will know where to start stealing at night.
.
Another busy day passed, and the workers dragged their tired pace back to the work shed to rest. Lin Laowu came back from work, looking more tired than the average person. He was carried to the infirmary of the camp by Tao Liliu, his lips
His hair was gray, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and he had a painful expression on his face...
"Hygienist, he is seriously ill!"
The hygienist didn't dare to neglect him, so he observed him carefully and saw that his face was gray, he was shivering even though he was wrapped in a thin blanket, and cold sweat broke out on his head.
"Quickly, send him to the infirmary on the ship!" The health worker wrote a referral note to Tao Liliu, "Take it!"
With the referral note, Tao Liliu easily passed the sentry and sent Lin Laowu to the ship's infirmary.
"Hurry up and put him on the bed!" The malaria patient who had just been cured a few days ago, and now another one appeared, the naturalized doctor naturally did not dare to neglect him.
What Lin Laowu was most afraid of was this "clothing room" of Lao Shizi. Before he entered it, a pungent smell made him feel dizzy. The fake doctor Kun inside was wrapped in white clothes like mourning clothes, and a white cloth covered his head.
Only two eyes are left on half of the face, which are so sharp that they can penetrate everything.
"Tell him to lie down and take his temperature," the doctor ordered. Before Lin Laowu was ready, a cold touch came from his lower body. In order to get the magic medicine, Lin Laowu could only endure this with tears.
humiliation……
"The body temperature is 37.3 degrees, which is a bit high." The naturalized doctor frowned.
"What symptoms does he have?" the naturalized doctor asked Tao Liliu while observing Lin Laowu.
"Tell the doctor, he said that he felt cold when he went to work today. He thought that he would be over it after a while, but he never thought that he would start to have troubles that night. Foreman Wang was also like this a few days ago. I don't think so.
I must have contracted malaria, so I will send it to you right now." After Tao Liliu said this, Lin Laowu trembled cooperatively on the bed for a few times, and kept saying: "It's so cold, so cold..."
"Well, let's do another examination..." Dr. Guihuamin said to himself, turned around and walked towards the large cabinet behind him.
Lin Laowu squinted and saw that it was the cabinet where the medicine was kept! There were many bottles and cans in it. He secretly thought that this method was indeed feasible! Fortunately, this fake doctor Kun didn't know how to feel the pulse, otherwise his trick would have been exposed.
.
After a while, the naturalized doctor came back, holding a needle and a small piece of transparent glass in his hand. Lin Laowu couldn't understand what he was trying to do, and he murmured in his heart that this short-haired doctor didn't rely on feeling the pulse to cure the disease.
Is it bloodletting? The doctor first took a cotton ball and wiped it on his finger, which gave him a chill. Then he cut a cut on his finger with the needle, and then used the sequin to catch a few drops.
Blood……
"Nanyang witchcraft?!" Lin Laowu immediately thought of countless terrifying legends of Nanyang witchcraft. These legends have been passed down from generation to generation among the indigenous and Chinese groups in Southeast Asia. Lin Laowu believed in them. Now, he didn't need to pretend.
He also trembled violently.
Doctor Guihuamin never imagined that Lin Laowu was in a state of confusion at this moment. Seeing how violently he was shaking, he thought he was suffering from an illness. He quickly collected the blood samples and went to the operating table to start analysis.
"He is not sick. Just go back to rest early and drink more water when you go to work." The naturalized doctor made a diagnosis after looking at several indicators.
"This... Mr. Chief, this is malaria. If not treated, he will die. It's better to give him some medicine..." Tao Liliu didn't see him taking medicine. There were so many bottles and cans in the cabinet that it was really hard to
Can't tell clearly.
"I think you just want to be lazy! Stop pretending to me. If you don't get up from the bed, I will call the soldiers to take you out!" Apparently this fake doctor Kun had seen through their trick of "pretending to be sick".
"This magic medicine is really hard to get..." Returning to the shack at night, the two discussed again. Today they at least saw the cabinet where the medicine was kept. If they were to steal it, at least they would know where to steal it. But the problem was another
Here we are, there are so many bottles and cans, which one are you trying to steal?
According to Tao Liliu, there was a name of the medicine on the jar, and he would definitely recognize it as long as he arrived at the scene.
But when it came to the specific matter of stealing medicine on the ship, both of them were intimidated. Tao Liliu said that he was not good at water, and Lin Laowu said that he was illiterate.
Halfway through the night, both of them knew that they couldn't fool each other into going there.
"In that case, let's go together!" Lin Laowu made a tragic determination, "We share danger and wealth together! The worst we can do is get caught by the bandit and play on the swing together!"
Tao Liliu didn't intend to take the risk of swinging for the sake of wealth and wealth. He sat there and rolled his eyes, thinking about it. He said unhurriedly: "Old Wu! Why is this? There is no way to explain it."
It’s not impossible, it’s just a little troublesome.”
"What method?"
"Can you get an empty barrel or basket?"
"It's not difficult. I've been helping in the kitchen these days. There are many baskets filled with sauce and vinegar, which have been cleaned and ready to be shipped back."
