"What? How could he drink the river water directly?"
Liu Nan frowned and said seriously: "Generally speaking, 99% of river water is not suitable for drinking directly, because there may be some invisible and intangible poisons in these river water.
The consensus reached years ago...Apeng, you have been drinking hot water since you were born, so you take it for granted. But you may not know that when I was young, there was basically no
People drink hot water, so some very bad things happen."
"It was also a summer. I went swimming in the river with some of my friends. As a result, we fell ill one after another after returning home, and then nearly 80% of the people in the whole town fell drunk! In the end, I survived, but I
The few friends I had were all gone, and only about half of the people in the whole town were left; and not long after, someone came to let us drink hot water. While I was studying under my master, I heard my master mention
After hearing about this incident, he said that in addition to the town where I was, similar situations occurred in hundreds of cities and villages that summer."
"Of course, this is not the only year that this happened. Similar situations have happened many times before, but they all involved a certain area, and there were not so many people involved. So everyone
No one paid too much attention to it; in the end, no one expected that it would suddenly break out that summer, but this was a wake-up call for everyone, so the new Dragon Emperor arranged for several medical sects to take action together to investigate what all this was about.
What happened, it turned out that the leader of the Dian Qing Sect at the time, Qing Ping, came to the conclusion I just mentioned."
"Today's Dian Qing Sect is already among the top three medical sects. This is all because Mr. Qingping played an outstanding role in this incident and was praised by the new Dragon Emperor, so the Dian Qing Sect has been able to reach where it is today.
This step; of course, when old Mr. Qingping proposed this idea, no one else around him stood by his side. After all, it is an invisible poison whose existence transcends everyone's cognition; in the end,
The important thing is that even Mr. Qingping did not provide strong evidence to prove the existence of this poison."
Hearing this, Liu Xing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, because this NPC named Qingping seemed to be the same type of person as he is now. He could also see those little bugs in the water, and these bugs were in the eyes of Yin En and others.
It doesn't exist at all.
If Qingping were a player, Liu Xing wouldn't think there was any problem, because players from the real world would know what microorganisms are, and drinking raw water would be easily affected by microorganisms.
Therefore, as an NPC, Qingping could most likely see those little bugs, so he dared to put forward such an opinion. After all, it is still the same sentence - people can never imagine something that they have never seen at all.
In the real world, Chinese medicine refers to microorganisms that can cause illness as "evil qi". Of course, "evil qi" includes more than just microorganisms, and the most common one is the "wind evil" that causes colds and fevers.
In "Liu Peng's" memory, although there were some herbal medicines in the New Dragon Empire that did not exist at all in the real world, they were almost the same as traditional Chinese medicine in the real world in terms of medicine. They could basically be said to be exactly the same. Traditional Chinese medicine
Many of the classic prescriptions and terms appear in this martial arts module, including "evil energy" naturally.
So now Liu Xing has almost forgotten what this classmate looks like, but he still remembers what the scar on his heel looks like.
So the question arises, why in my memory are all the households drinking hot water, but I don’t see them buying the firewood needed to boil the water? I don’t see them going up the mountain in person either?
"There is a bug in the martial arts module this time."
Yin En went straight to the topic and said: "When Liu Xing went to get the medicine, I suddenly thought of a problem, that is, in my memory, or Yin Qiang's memory, most people drink river water directly. After all, we humans
All settlements have one characteristic, that is, they must be close to water sources; because the Xinlong Empire has a dense network of rivers, you can go to the river to get water in just two steps, so few people will spend a lot of effort to dig wells, such as Heshan
There is not even a single well in the county, so everyone draws their domestic water from the river."
Yin En concluded: "It takes ten years to grow a tree and a hundred years to grow a person. This tree cannot grow casually, so if it hadn't been for Liu Xing's reminder, I really wouldn't have realized the bug in this area! And Tianshui
The same is true for Sweetwater Town, because as long as we go to the logging team and take a look, we can find that the growth rings on those tree stumps may be more than fifty years old! But if I remember correctly, Sweetwater Town was actually in the forties.
It was only built many years ago, so where did the wood come from when building Sweetwater Town?”
If the tree cannot be cut down directly, then the only dry branches for firewood will be available.
"So your friend A Peng only needs to drink a pair of anthelmintics now. I believe you still remember the prescription for the anthelmintics, right?" Liu Nan asked with a smile.
When Liu Xing heard the words "boiled water room", he remembered that there was a boiling water room near his childhood home. It was foggy all year round and provided hot water 24 hours a day. One of Liu Xing's classmates was boiling water.
While fetching water in the room, I accidentally burned my heel.
As a result, at this time, Yin En called Liu Xing aside with a solemn look.
But Liu Xing quickly thought of a reason and said subconsciously: "Uh? Can't we just boil water while cooking? After the food is done, use the remaining heat to boil the water.
boil?"
"Well, I will ask Aqiang to take a few people later to inform everyone not to drink unboiled water casually, even on such a hot day." Liu Xing nodded.
At this time, Liu Nan continued: "For ordinary people, they only know that they need to drink hot water, but they don't know why they do it. So now, people occasionally fall into the trap; but it's worth it.
Fortunately, although these bugs are difficult for us to guard against, it is actually not difficult to deal with them.”
Therefore, if Qingping had not seen the existence of those little bugs with his own eyes, then he would not have proposed the term "poison", but would have proposed a new concept related to "water evil".
Hearing what Yin En said, Liu Xing couldn't help but frowned, "Huh? Yin En, you mean we haven't had the habit of drinking boiled water before?"
Yin En said decisively: "I just went home and took a look, and I confirmed that there is no kettle at home, and my parents have been drinking cold water! This is actually normal, after all, it can be used to boil water now.
There are only firewood and charcoal. As for coal and natural gas, they are still buried underneath, so who has the spare money to use firewood for burning water? As for going up the mountain to cut firewood yourself, it is also time-consuming and laborious! So in the real world many years ago, that is
If our parents' generation lived in the city, if they wanted to drink boiled water, they had to go to a boiling water room."
But as Yin En said, there is not much difference between Heshan at this time and Heshan when "Liu Peng" was a child.
"Things are getting worse and worse."
So where did the excess firewood come from in the past ten years? It couldn't have been bought from other places, right?
Liu Xing nodded, then stood up and started to take the medicine himself.
Liu Xing frowned, because what Yin En said was true! There was no scene of buying and selling firewood in "Liu Peng's" memory! And the firewood used in the medical center was also specially hired by Liu Nan to go up the mountain and cut it directly.
Cut down a few trees and take them home before processing them into firewood.
I see.
Therefore, Liu Xing only made a simple calculation and determined that it was impossible to meet the demand for firewood in Heshan County just relying on the branches provided by Heshan, not to mention not only his own medical clinic, but also hotels and restaurants everywhere.
, and carpenters need a lot of firewood and lumber, so it stands to reason that Heshan's "hairline" should move back.
"Yes, we can do this, but the question is, will you put so much more firewood when cooking? Logically speaking, it is quite difficult to boil water with this little residual heat; more importantly, when we were children,
It’s not like I haven’t visited Heshan before, so in Liu Xing’s memory, the trees in Heshan should have neither increased nor decreased over the years, right? So can Heshan provide us with so many branches?” Yin En
Continue to ask.
After picking up a pack of medicine, Liu Xing went to see the unlucky player and asked him to take medicine for the next two days.
"At the beginning, no one else agreed with Mr. Qingping's view. After all, in a sense, it is impossible for an invisible, colorless, invisible and intangible insect to exist! Let alone your naked eyes.
How could a mortal be able to discover it? As a result, Mr. Qingping insisted on his opinion and asked the patients in his charge to drink boiling hot water every day. In the end, only the patients in Mr. Qingping's charge survived.
, and I didn’t get sick again after drinking hot water.”
"The existence of boiling water rooms is mainly to save the use of fuel. After all, natural gas was not popular at that time, and the price of coal was not low. At the same time, there was not so much firewood to burn in the city; so Liu Xing, you
Don't you think it's strange? No matter how many trees there are in this martial arts module, can they withstand so many people boiling water every day for decades? And in Liu Xing's memory, among ourselves and our neighbors
Are there people who go up the mountain to cut firewood every day? Or are there people in the business of selling firewood?" Yin En said seriously.
Liu Xing nodded and made up his mind, that is, he must find a chance to meet this old Mr. Qingping, because he has been able to see the existence of insects for decades, so he should
I have also done corresponding research, so I may be able to get more information from him.
"Facts speak louder than words. The most taboo thing for those of us who are doctors is to insist on our own opinions too much and not listen to the opinions of others! And the master is the teacher. Since you celebrate someone for doing the best, then other people will have a higher status.
I have to learn from you honestly; in the end, at Qingping’s insistence, everyone in a large area began to drink hot water. As a result, after five years, only people in this area did not get sick on a large scale.
, and in other places, even if there are many famous doctors on duty, it is the same as usual, and you will still get sick when you should."
"So the new Dragon Emperor summoned Mr. Qingping, and Mr. Qingping gave the new Dragon Emperor a demonstration, which was to put a caterpillar in a bowl of river water. The caterpillar returned from time to time.
It can flutter a few times, but as long as it is placed in boiling water, the caterpillar will soon die! This is the evidence that Mr. Qingping believes that there are invisible bugs in the water, and it is also the reason why you will not get sick if you drink hot water;
So after that, people in the entire Xinlong Empire began to drink hot water, and Mr. Qingping also traveled throughout the Xinlong Empire to find those direct drinking water sources that had not been affected by bugs." Liu Nan said seriously.
said.
It seems that I am not alone, and someone has noticed that something is wrong before this.
"No."
"I don't think that when Sweetwater Town was built, people would go far and wide to buy wood from outside, so they must have used local materials like us, but if that's the case, then we would have to take a few more steps to find the right wood.
Timber; not to mention that the main industry of Sweetwater Town is wine-making, and wine-making requires not only a large amount of food, but also a large amount of firewood, so I don’t think Sweetwater Town will buy firewood when selling wine.”
At this time, Liu Xing frowned again, because the forest where the wine gorilla is located does take decades to grow, so if Tianshui Town had "drawn materials" from this forest,
Then the forest will have to change now.
"If Liu Xing didn't suddenly see something that I couldn't see, then I would just think it was an insignificant little bug. After all, this martial arts module is a separate module, so it may be in
The time stopped state will not start until our players enter the game, so the consumption that should have occurred did not occur; but Liu Xing, you mentioned that everyone is used to drinking hot water every day, but there is nothing in my house that can hold the heat.
There are no water containers, except for the big vat in the kitchen! So I just went to look at several other households and found the same thing!"
Yin En looked at Liu Xing and stopped talking.
After Liu Xing recalled it for a moment, his face became serious, "Now in my memory, everyone only drinks hot water! So what you said, Yin En, is true, then this means one thing
The thing is that there is something wrong with my memory, it’s like there is something in my eyes that I have never seen before!”
