Obviously there was only half a day, but Bai Shan inquired very carefully. He said: "After the sacrifice, the patients in both tribes gradually improved, and not so many people died. Everyone thought it was the gods appearing and they were satisfied."
Therefore, I dare not get close to Ayina who dared to let go of the sacrifice. She was sent to do the hardest and most tiring work. I didn't expect that the witch would bring her to learn from you, just because she is very smart.
"
Man Bao pursed his lips and asked, "How do they explain the people who died of illness after offering sacrifices to the gods?"
"The herdsmen think that they must be particularly popular with the God, and the God wants them to serve him together, or that they are not sincere to God, so they are not blessed."
Yin You frowned and said: "No, if they believe in gods so much, why do the clan leaders and witches treat you so enthusiastically?"
Isn't it just to learn the medical skills of treating smallpox from Zhou Man?
If they believed that this was God's blessing, why would they be so interested in this medical skill?
For this reason, you have to interrupt your migration plan and stay here temporarily?
Bai Shan sighed, "Yes, you must know that herdsmen live in pursuit of water and grass. If they arrive late, other tribes are likely to arrive earlier than them and occupy the grassland they were interested in before, but now they are willing to stay here
The reason for staying here is obviously that he believes that smallpox can be cured with medicine, and it has nothing to do with any gods."
Zhou Liru's eyes flashed with confusion, "Then why sacrifice?"
No one spoke for a while, and Bai Shan said: "No matter what the reason is, Ayina is now a sinner in the Tutu Department. I originally wanted to remind you to pay attention to the people in the Tutu Department when teaching her, but now
It seems unnecessary."
"No, it's still necessary," Man Bao pursed his lips and said, "Let her light the fire for us at night. Since she is so smart, she shouldn't just learn what the other three have learned."
Zhou Liru became excited, "What do you want to teach her?"
Man Bao glanced at her and said, "It's the disease that people love most."
Zhou Liru clapped his fingers and said: "Wind-cold, fever, cough and stomachache."
Man Bao said: "There are too many problems with stomachache, and I can't teach you anything in three or four days. But for wind-cold, fever and cough, you can give prescriptions according to the situation. Just let her remember the symptoms of each situation, and then give the prescription."
The corresponding prescription will definitely be better than the random treatment by Gu Lu now."
That's right, Gu Lu is treating people randomly now.
When the wind is cold, I am given a handful of small Bupleurum, and I can drink it when I go home. When I have a fever, I am given a small handful of Bupleurum, and when I have a cough, I am still given small Bupleurum, so I heard that Gulu and the others often use the herbs they dig up to exchange for Xiaobupleurum.
The people of the Tutu tribe are so tenacious. They rely on a small handful of Bupleurum and some other medicinal materials. They have a higher probability of surviving after getting sick than other tribes. Therefore, Gu Lu is a well-known witch among several nearby tribes.
.
Man Bao listened to his two apprentices' compliments a lot today, so it was difficult not to know.
Man Bao said: "Ask her to light the fire and make the bed for me. She can stay here for four more nights than others."
Zhou Liru immediately said: "I'll go talk to the people in the Tutu Department."
She didn't even need to hint. She came directly to her disciple Gu Lu to ask for advice: "We need someone to light the fire and make the bed in our tent. My sister-in-law may have to get up late at night to drink tea. Can Ayina take care of her?"
Gu Lu's disciples didn't need to ask the clan leader or witch, they could handle this matter directly. So Man Bao finished teaching the afternoon session and was twisting his neck to take a rest. Ayina got up and went to Man Bao's shop first.
He knelt down to make a bed for her in the tent, and carefully lit a brazier and started to drive away the cold air.
Man Bao was stunned for a moment and then twisted his neck and walked in. Ayina saw her and immediately said: "Miss, it's too cold in the tent. If you want to smoke it, please go out and wait for us."
"It doesn't matter," there is no bed. The tent is made of oilcloth on the ground, then covered with felt and fur. On top is a straw mat, and on the straw mat is a quilt just laid by Ayina.
Man Bao just sat on the quilt and watched Ayina bend down to smoke every corner of the room, as if this would be able to fume away the cold air in the room.
In fact, it can indeed be smoked away.
Man Bao couldn't help but be lost in thought, and after a while he asked softly, "Ayina, are you willing to come with me?"
Ayina was stunned for a moment. She was still squatting on the ground, so she could only see Zhou Man's expression when she raised her head.
Man Bao said: "I think you are very smart. I can teach you medical skills and you can do what you want to do in the future. However, when you follow me, you may have to do some work to make a living. Are you willing?"
"
Ayina looked at Zhou Man and gently lowered her knees that had been propped up on the ground. She knelt down in the direction of Man Bao and asked softly: "Do you want me to be a servant, Miss?"
Man Bao shook his head slightly, "No, I can be considered a disciple, if you are willing to follow me."
Ayina fell silent for a long time. When Manbao thought she couldn't give an answer today, she asked: "Why do you want to take me away, Miss?"
Man Bao thought for a while and then said: "It's just a pity. I think you can live a better life."
Ayina smiled and said: "Miss, no matter who you take away, everyone will have a better life."
Although the time was short, she knew that Miss Zhou was very capable, and the people around her were also very powerful. Moreover, Zhou Liang, who was doing business with the clan leader, was her biological brother, and he looked very rich, no matter it was
Anyone who follows her will have a better life than staying in the Tutu Department.
But... Ayina shook her head and rejected Manbao, "I won't leave."
She paused and then asked anxiously: "Can Miss still teach me medical skills?"
"Of course," Man Bao didn't force her or even try to persuade her. It seemed like it was just a casual suggestion from her. She said, "In addition to smallpox, I can also teach you about wind-cold, fever and cough. You know about wind-cold."
?"
Man Bao looked at her knees on the ground and said softly: "Although it is almost summer, the ground is still very cold. The cold air can not only enter the human body from the wind and rain, but also from the land.
When the grass is shoveled and you kneel directly on the ground, the cold air will enter the body through the knees. People who are in poor health will easily catch the cold, and then they will have a runny nose, a headache, sneezing, and may feel weak all over.
This is the wind chill."
Ayina immediately got up from the ground and patted her knees. She seemed not to be reassured. She still squatted by the brazier and tried her best to keep her knees close to the brazier.
Man Bao smiled and asked, "Are many people here getting cold every year?"
Ayina nodded, and then said: "The Han people who come to do business say that wind and cold are contagious, so people in the tribe who are infected with wind and cold have to temporarily move to the cowshed."
Man Bao said with regret: "You can live in a tent alone, why move it to a cowshed?"
"Because it's not enough," Ayina said: "Not everyone has a tent. Many people only have one tent per family."
