Lord of Rot

Chapter 120 Stupid bloodletting treatment
The dwarf carpenter Fola played a very important role in the early stage of Li Qi's research and development. Li Qi also had a good impression of this "tool man" who could keep up with his own brain thinking. The maid greeted him with her big belly.

"Good day, my lord!"

"How's Fra?"

"He may be dying soon." She looked sad. She didn't know whether it was because her unborn child had no father, or because the pillar of the family disappeared, which made her very pessimistic about her future life.

Li Qi turned to the people following him and said, "Bring the pharmacist."

The current situation of Porcupine Collar is much better than when Li Qi just crossed over. At that time, there was no pharmacist in Porcupine Collar. He was injured and dying, but he had to go to Iron Stone City to hire scholars and apprentices. Ordinary people got sick and had to wait to die.

However, under Li Qi's development, Porcupine Collar is developing towards a relatively complete small village.

Although this kind of development is entirely supported by his own money, the financial income and expenditure are not healthy.

Li Qi went into the bedroom.

On the bed, the dwarf carpenter saw Li Qi coming and struggled to get up, but Li Qi stopped him: "Lie down, my friend."

"I'm very sorry, my lord." Fra's voice became extremely weak.And there was an obvious wry smile on his face, and he kept biting his teeth, as if he was in great pain.

There was a white cloth on his head, and the smell of medicine overflowed.

"How did he fall ill?" Li Qi turned his head and asked the tall maid with a big belly beside him.

"He accidentally cut the top of his head with a nail while he was working. A gash the length of a finger, and oh gods, my poor Vla, he looks so miserable."

Mentioning her husband, the tall maid's eyes couldn't help turning red, "He couldn't even open his mouth to eat, his teeth were clenched tightly, I tried to tear the bread and mix it with wheat porridge to send into his mouth, but he couldn’t open his mouth at all, then I tried to buy some milk, luckily he can still swallow milk, but his health is getting worse day by day.”

Anyone with a discerning eye can see it.Fra is now at the end of his battle.

After hearing what the tall maid said, Li Qi probably understood.

It's tetanus.

In this world, Li Qi didn't even know how to treat tetanus. Maybe a pharmacist would have a way, maybe a scholar might have a way, or magic.

The lord ordered someone to be found, and the pharmacist quickly arrived, carrying a wooden box on his back.

"Is there a way to treat him?" Li Qi attached great importance to the carpenter Fra, and of course personal emotions played a very important role in this.

The pharmacist shook his head lightly: "I'm sorry, my lord, this disease will make his heartbeat gradually weaken. I have come to see him before, but Mr. Fra's disease is more serious than others, of course we can also use some For a more extreme and risky approach, maybe you can try to bleed him."

In this world of magic and faith, which comes from giant dragons, the development of science can be said to be extremely slow.

Ordinary people have learned to fend for themselves, while nobles are used to reciting a spell to solve their problems. Even if the problem cannot be solved with a spell, they can still pray to the gods.

When it is really useful to pray to the gods, people will not take the initiative to delve into it, because they will firmly believe that everything they can get is the gift and blessing of the gods.

Since I have worked hard to study science, but in the end it was only the blessings of the gods, so why didn't I just pray to the gods directly at the beginning, and then wait for the blessings of the gods.

As a result, ignorant bloodletting treatment was rampant on this continent.

Although the Lurea continent does not have the concept of a doctor in the formal sense, pharmacists and some scholars can indeed undertake some functions of doctors at the same time.

Scholars may be better, they know alchemy, and their research on the human body is more delicate.

Ordinary pharmacists are different. They firmly believe that blood is the source of life for the human body, and sickness is caused by blood problems in the body. Therefore, no matter what kind of illness, bloodletting can be used to treat it, including headaches, colds, Fever, even old age.

The number of people who survived the bloodletting treatment was few and far between, but the number of people who died in this way was countless.

One of the books that Li Qi had read also mentioned a story about a pharmacist bleeding a pregnant woman for treatment. He put a leech on the navel of the pregnant woman and let the leech get in. The result is self-evident.

"No one will be bled in Porcupine Ridge." Li Qi looked at the pharmacist, emphasizing his tone.

As a lord, he must ensure that his subjects will not die due to stupid treatment methods.

The pharmacist didn't argue, because he was not proficient in bloodletting treatment himself, so he didn't dare to try it lightly.

"My lord" Fra seems to have something to say: "My lord, I know that my life is coming to an end. It's a pity that I can't go back to the golden wheat fields, but please believe me, Porcupine Ridge is already my first time." Two hometowns. There are things I build here, and I watch the porcupine collar get better and better, and I love it here."

"Relax, my friend." Li Qi did not comfort him.

Because now he really has no treatment plan.

Looking at the carpenter with a difficult expression, Li Qi asked the pharmacist, "Is there anything that can make him more comfortable? At the end of his life."

"Yes, my lord, I can prepare some potions for him, which will make him temporarily forget some pain."

Immediately after receiving the order, the pharmacist opened his little medicine box and began to prepare a small bottle the size of a thumb in his little medicine box.

This is one that looks very thin and translucent.A stone bottle, like a glass gem, with a wooden stopper.

He unplugged the stopper, took out the desired portion and poured it on the wooden box, then stirred it together with a small medicine stick, and mixed it with a little white liquid in the small bottle to form a small pill.Li Qi guessed that the white liquid might be something addictive.

Li Qi took the medicine and helped Frah take the medicine with his own hands. The effect of the medicine was very good, but after a while, the eyes of those lying on the hospital bed gradually became in focus and became more energetic. stand up.

"At the last moment of my life, I hope you, my lord, will do me a favor."

"Speak, my friend."

"I would like to ask you to preside over a wedding, and let my wife Cao Ya marry the apprentice Pointy Nose. We all know that you are a benevolent lord. Please rest assured that whether it is Pointy Nose or Cao Ya, we have already discussed it. They did not refuse the marriage."

Li Qi was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, I will agree."

This is a method of inheritance that Li Qi has known for a long time. When the master is about to die, he will marry his wife and children to the apprentice.

It's better than being orphaned and widowed, lonely and helpless.

The apprentice can get everything from the master, and it is also his responsibility to take care of the orphans and widows.

There are even some old craftsmen who choose to entrust their wives to their apprentices even if they have no sons and only have a beautiful wife.

The apprentice represents the inheritance of his craft. If there is no man to support his shop, then his shop will just disappear in the blink of an eye.

Li Qi didn't bother them for the rest of the time, and he left the rest of the time for Fra's wife and his apprentices.
