Chapter 84 ChickenPox

Actually, William’s plan was never kill Slytherin.

Slytherin was a key chess piece, in Eli’s rise to power.

With Slytherin’s help, Eli could easily take care of his siblings.

William didn’t want to start attacking any of them until a Winner emerged from the group.

Why go through all that stress when he could just kill the winner?

William was clear on his thoughts.

If the winner didn’t step down from the throne, then the winner had to die, simple.

Slytherin was part of Eli’s backbone and it wasn’t necessary to have him killed just yet.

He did all this just to send a message to his little cousin Eli and Slytherin.

William had left the message in Slytherin’s hideout outside the city gates.

He was sure that right about now, Slytherin should have gotten the message.

And he was right.

Slytherin reached his hideout and was shocked silly.

His men were all dead, and all their horses had magically disappeared.

The funny part was that all their belongings and clothes had been stolen.

There were just naked dead bodies lying around.

He quickly rushed towards his room, and pushed the door wide open.

Everything was gone.

All his gold, his silver and a few documents that he had within his care, were gone.

They were really gone with the wind.

Luckily, Slytherin had always kept his most important documents with him, he couldn’t imagine what would happen if his enemies had gotten them.

He had to admit that he had really underestimated that bastard.

This was the last time that he would ever make that mistake again.

There was a note on his table with a knife stabbed on it.

The knife had a unique craftsmanship, and had the initials ’G.P’ on it’s handle.

Slytherin immediately knew who the culprit was.

He also wanted the doctors educate the citizens, and the caretakers, ensuring them that this illness was literally not a big deal.

There was no reason to not visit the patients, if the citizens had already gotten chickenpox when they were younger.

It rarely affected those that had already gotten it.

He realised that he also needed the citizens to come to the hospital within this month, and register all the symptoms and diseases that they had ever gotten before.

Although these illnesses had strange names in this world, they all had common symptoms to those that Landon remembered back on earth.

He wanted to know if they had gotten or survived attacks from diseases like measles, mumps and so on.

He also realised that people in this era, could not differentiate between smallpox and chickenpox. For them, both were one and the same.

Also, there was presently no cure for most of these diseases.

That’s why thousands of people died yearly within the Pyno continent from them.

To think that people could actually die from something like malaria, yellow fever and Typhoid.

They also died from Measles as well.

For chickenpox to be fully cured, Landon gave the doctors a detailed description for the treatment process.

The children were to soak in cold water that had sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) added to it....They were to do this at least 2 times a day.

After soaking, they were to bathe with soap, so as to keep their skin clean... The caretakers and nurses were only supposed to pat, and not rub their skin when giving the children their bath.

They were also to keep the children hydrated by allowing them to drink lots of water and milk throughout the day.

The children needed to fight off their fever, and the viruses within their bodies. That’s why their bodies needed hydration regularly.

Heat and sweat would also make their skin itchy, so the caretakers were to wipe their bodies with wet cold rags every after 3 hours, so as to calm their skin.

Since there were no pills, Landon decided to go old school.

He decided to go towards the direction of Chinese medicine.

He had the doctors, nurses and some caretakers, boil the leaves of the ’Iplomoea’ and ’Ocimum basilian’ plant.

The children were to drink the liquid from the boiled leaves at least 3 times a day.

Landon had previously gotten all knowledge in farming.

Part of that knowledge included identifying all plants, vegetables, dairy farming, food and all other types of farming that existed in the world.

He knew how to grow a farm filled with medical plants as well.

Hence he could tell how beneficial each plant was to the human body.

Landon speculated that within a week and a half, the chickenpox crises should pass for most of the children.

Of course some might require more time to completely get rid of the virus.
