"There are bruises on the body, teeth are bleeding, and even teeth are falling out. I can't cheer up and have no strength..."
Lin Xu frowned slightly and thought carefully for a while. Suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he thought of the typical symptoms of a disease, which were very similar to Sun Chong's description!
Although Lin Xu did not have much medical knowledge, he could immediately think of this disease because the "famous" of this disease is so great!
This is, scurvy!
"Brother Chong, do those soldiers who have this strange disease fight at the seaside all year round and rarely eat vegetables and fruits?"
"Yes, they have been fighting at the seaside all year round to fight against Japanese pirates! Due to the lack of supplies, they can only eat coarse grains every day, not even wild vegetables, let alone vegetables and fruits!"
Speaking of this, Sun Chong asked with some confusion: "Brother Xiaoxu, how do you know this? Do you know what disease they have?"
After clarifying this information, Lin Xu was even more certain that those soldiers were definitely suffering from scurvy.
Scurvy refers to a systemic disease characterized by widespread bleeding in the gums, skin and even the whole body and bone lesions caused by long-term lack of vitamin C.
If not treated in time, once it develops to an advanced stage, it will have a very high fatality rate!
To cure this disease, the method is actually very simple, that is, the patient should take fresh vegetables and fruits every day and supplement with a large amount of vitamin C. The prognosis is usually good and will not cause serious sequelae.
"Yes, I should know what disease they have." Lin Xu nodded.
"Then do you know how to treat it?"
"Know."
After hearing this answer, Sun Chong immediately stood up, knelt on one knee, put his right fist on his chest, and solemnly said: "Brother Xiaoxu, please save my comrades!"
Lin Xu immediately stood up and grabbed Sun Chong: "Brother Chong, why do you need to pay such a big courtesy? Even if they are not your colleagues, but ordinary people who have never met each other, now that I know, I will definitely save them!"
"Thank you, Brother Xiaoxu!"
Sun Chong cupped his fists again to say thank you!
"Okay, Brother Chong, do we still need to be like this between us brothers? Get up quickly! Without further ado, let's go to Xiaotun now!"
After Lin Xu picked up Sun Chong, he called Ruolan out again.
"Ruolan, look at the oranges we have, how many are left? Bring them all."
"There's still half a bag left."
"Bring them all over, I'll go visit you."
"Okay, I'll go now."
In Lin Xu's opinion, Ruolan, besides being beautiful and in good shape, has two great advantages. One is that she is as gentle as water, and the other is that she never talks too much.
Ruolan agreed sweetly and entered the room.
These oranges at home are authentic Gannan navel oranges, which are rich in vitamin C and are the best fruit for treating scurvy.
He specially asked someone to buy it for Ruolan, because Ruolan has been preparing for pregnancy during this period. It is said that she should take folic acid every day, but there is no place to buy it, so she can only eat more oranges, tangerines and other fruits.
.
"Brother Xiaoxu, do you need any medicinal materials or treatment tools? If you need me to do anything, just ask!" Sun Chong said.
"Well, Brother Chong, you go to the kitchen now and ask them to load a cart of vegetables!"
"What kind of vegetables?"
"Any kind will do, just put the tomatoes first and then the rest!"
"Okay! I'll go right away!"
Sun Chong agreed and ran out!
...
After about a stick of incense, Lin Xu and Sun Chong headed to Xiaotun Village, pulling a cart full of vegetables.
"Brother, don't we really need to bring some medicinal materials or something?"
Although Lin Xu had just said that there was no need to bring medicinal materials, Sun Chong still asked again worriedly. This chapter has been completed!
