Chapter 94

"Miss Wang, what are you doing?" Zhong Xin noticed that Wang Yong left, and asked in fear.

"I'll see if I can leave and find some herbs." Wang Yong didn't look back. His voice soon disappeared in the drizzle.

Originally already wet on the body, but also don't care about more rain.

Fortunately, the rain is much less now.

The rain lasted so long that it was hard to find the original forest path. Wang Yong had to rely on his memory to explore the lake. He walked for more than 20 minutes before he came to Taiping Lake.

But after seeing Taiping Lake, Wang Yong was stunned and shook his head with a bitter smile.

A heavy rain made the water level of Taiping Lake soar, and the original lakeside boundary had long been obliterated. Wang Yong clearly remembered that a big tree was not far from the lakeside. Now it's growing in water.

The raft that Wang Yong had thrown ashore could not be found. It seemed that it was washed away by the rising flood.

Without the raft, you can't go back to the other side. Can't you swim back?

Wang Yong can barely, but Zhong Xin can't. Especially when the heart of the clock is feverish.

"It seems that I can only stay here until someone comes to help." Wang Yong sighed and said to himself.

However, Wang Yong can't guarantee how long it will be. Maybe someone will come at dawn. Maybe they will be sleepy for three or five days.

In any case, Zhong Xin's illness must be treated quickly. Or she won't make it.

Sweeping around, Wang Yong is going to find some herbs.

There are many folk prescriptions in China. Ordinary people can't afford to buy medicine. They usually use some wild herbs that can be seen everywhere.

As far as Wang Yong knows, there are wild chrysanthemum, mint, agastache and other plants growing in Tiantai. All of these help to treat colds and fevers.

But the rising water of Taiping Lake made it more difficult to find. Wang Yong took a long time to find some peppermint and agastache. These two kinds of things are very common in Tiantai city. Even people who are not sick will drink them in water, which has a unique flavor.

Just rely on these two, want to treat Zhong Xin's disease is still some difficulty.

Wang Yong walked along the lake with a sad face. When he was about to be disappointed, he suddenly saw a clump of plants half a meter high in the distance.

"That's them!"

Wang Yong excitedly stepped forward and savagely uprooted all the plants and held them in his arms.

Artemisia.

This kind of plant, which is found all over China, is the best medicine to treat malaria.

The famous artemisinin is extracted from this kind of thing, which is also known as the only discovery in China that has the hope of winning the Nobel Prize in medicine.

And this discovery is coincidental, it is from the great Chinese classics. Gehong in the Eastern Jin Dynasty's "elbow back-up urgent prescription", originally a work by Gehong's Alchemy, inadvertently helped modern TCM experts.

Wang Yong's biggest worry is malaria in the heart of the clock. Now with this clump of Artemisia, it should not be a big problem.

Pick up the herbs, Wang Yongxing rushed back to the forest hut.

Just as he was about to enter the hut, Wang Yong suddenly thought of another thing in his mind.

Without saying a word, he got close to a willow tree and began to peel.

The willow bark was torn off one by one by Wang Yong, with the smell of astringent bark.

After tearing more than ten pieces in a row, Wang Yong had to tear a tree into a bare pole.

If that willow tree could speak, it would certainly denounce Wang Yong for "collecting wool and catching one".

"Mr. Wang, what are you doing with the bark? Are we going to eat this? " Zhong Xin was surprised to see what Wang Yong had in his hand.

She was pampered since childhood. Although she yearned for the story of the Red Army on the Great Wall, she didn't really want to try to eat bark and gnaw grass roots.

Looking at Zhong Xin's disgust, Wang Yong said with a smile, "it's not me, it's you."

"No, I don't want to eat... Even if I die." Zhong Xin refused.

However, Wang Yong, regardless of whether Zhong Xin accepted it or not, found a broken bowl, washed it with rain, took the bark in his hand and clenched his fist.

The willow bark is like being smashed by a garlic hammer, exuding green juice.

The heart of the clock frowned at this scene.

He did it several times in a row and squeezed all the willow bark out of juice. Wang Yong gave up.

Looking at the full bowl of juice, Wang Yong himself was happy.

Don't think about it. It's absolutely delicious.

But Wang Yong felt that it was not enough. He took the wormwood and made it into juice.

So half a bowl of juice would last all night.

Wang Yong gently shakes evenly and gives it to Zhong Xin.

"Miss Wang, kill me. I'd rather die than drink this." The heart of the clock shakes like a rattle.

Wang Yong looked solemn and said sternly, "no, you have to drink! You want to die, the teacher can't let you die! It's a life-saving panacea. "

Zhong Xin wronged Du Qi mouth, way: "what panacea, clear is that you randomly picked some herbs."

"How can they be picked up at random? The teacher has a basis to make these. Let's talk about this Artemisia annua. In the medical books of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it is said that "once you hold the Artemisia annua, once the water rises, you can take the juice and take it. It can cure malaria for a long time.". Malaria is malaria. Ancient people saved countless people by such a thing. On the contrary, in the Vietnam War decades ago, a large number of American soldiers and Vietnamese soldiers died of this disease which was solved by China 1000 years ago. Do you think it's powerful? " Wang Yong raised his face and said.

"Really?" Zhong Xin asked suspiciously. However, he was convinced by what Wang Yong said and served the bowl.

Close to the nose carefully smell, but quickly turned his head, almost vomit out.

"It's all the fishy and astringent taste of willows. It smells so bad! Artemisia treatment of malaria even if, you add willow bark is to do Zhong Xin pinched his nose and said.

"Willow bark is used to reduce fever. Do you know aspirin? "

"I know. Cold fever, eat it the most effective The clock nodded.

"Aspirin is called acetylsalicylic acid. This acetylsalicylic acid was originally derived from willow bark. Ancient Sumerian clay board on the use of willow leaves to treat arthritis records. Ancient Egyptian medical books also recorded that smearing willow bark and leaves on the body can relieve arthritis and back pain. The famous ancient Greek physician Hippocrates, who was respected as the "father of medicine", once ground willow bark into powder for patients to take. The analgesics Hippocrates found in willows was salicylic acid, the prototype of aspirin, and wrote it in his own book. It can be said that there is no aspirin without willows. Do you still think it's useless? "

Wang Yong never forgets his teacher's duty and popularizes knowledge to Zhong Xin.

But Wang Yong didn't mean to say that he was just a rookie in medicine. To know so much depends on the accumulation of ordinary reading and professional reasons.

As for whether the mixture of willow bark and Artemisia annua will weaken its medicinal properties, Wang Yong is not sure.

With the quack idea that drinking more is always useful, Wang Yong gives a cruel smile and suddenly pinches Zhong Xin's mouth to force him to drink.
