Facing Maitreya’s praise, the bandage artisans in the house all showed simple and humble, but extremely satisfying smiles. No one did not like being recognized, but they were still humble.
"These are the thoughts of Lord Ebercy."
"Thanks to Lord Ebercy for helping us!"
"If it weren't for Mr. Ebosie, we would have died long ago." Every bandage craftsman is grateful to Ebosie from the bottom of his heart.
"Can you take the liberty to ask, what kind of illness did you have?" Maitreya saw that many craftsmen respect and appreciate Abexi, and didn't say much, but instead asked, he looked at the craftsmen here, everyone was wrapped in bandages and even their faces covered. Certainly, this seems to be sick.
"Sick?" When faced with Maitreya, many artisans were taken aback.
"Isn't it sick? Tell me, what are the symptoms!" Maitreya was slightly surprised, and then remembered that the medical technology in this island country is very poor. Anyone who can recite Buddhism can be regarded as a doctor. The people have no concept of disease and suffer from typhoid fever. , Diseases, wounds and pain, life and death are all regarded as destiny.
"Aren't we punished by God?" Some craftsmen couldn't believe it.
"No, I'm sick, can I see it?" Maitreya looked around, walked to a craftsman, and squatted down.
"No, you can't touch it, you will be cursed together." The craftsman was a little frightened, and dared not let Maitreya touch him.
"It's okay, just simple contact, no body fluid contact, it will not be easily contagious." Maitreya comforted a few words, and then the craftsman carefully untied the bandage on his wrist, exposing his festered arm.
Maitreya didn't care about Eberxi in the room. He observed the wounds of the artisans, and saw that most of the wounds were ulcerated, but there was no pus. Some parts had been cut off, but the severely wounded had muscle distortions. I was confused and asked about some symptoms. They all said that the affected area was numb before the onset, followed by sores and abnormal pain at night. Only when I drank strong alcohol and sweated and smeared the injured area with alcohol, I felt better.
"That's right, it's leprosy." Maitreya was diagnosed with leprosy. Leprosy is a modern term. Chinese medicine is called manger and leprosy. He knew this disease because he had seen such patients in Lin Jiu's hospital. .
"Can it be cured?" Eberxi asked urgently.
"Yes, but it’s very troublesome. You have to use Chinese medicine to soak the medicinal wine to prevent wind, angelica, and tiger bones. If there is no tiger bone, use monkey bone or bear bone instead. Songjie... Forget it, I'll write to Master Abexi!" Maitreya said quickly looking at the straight eyes of Abexi and the artisans.
Lin Jiuzu was born as a Taoist priest. He has hung pots for generations. In addition to the inner alchemy method of Taishang Nine Turns Heart Sealing Sutra, there are also outer alchemy in the secret urn of the family. The formula of Pill Sanjiu Ointment included this disease, and Maitreya remembered it in his heart. In addition to medicinal wine, there are Hualing Pill and Sweeping Pills, which can also be used to treat it.
Facing Maitreya who was willing to write a prescription, many craftsmen were grateful to Teilin, and even Abexi thanked him again and again. In this era of lack of medical knowledge, this knowledge of prescriptions was written to her, which is equivalent to a huge fortune. Give it away.
In order to thank Maitreya, Eberxi held a self-produced matchlock and led him to the back room and walked up a small wooden ladder beside the wall. The roof behind this was actually on the wooden frame of the outer city wall.
Ebercy stood on the wooden wall, looking at the dark night on the shore of the lake in the distance, filled the match rope in his hand with medicine and lead bullets, fixed the fire stick, kept the fire, and then carried the butt to the On his shoulders, facing the darkness, he pressed the bridge on the bolt, and the fire was lit.
"Bang!" With a violent explosion, the scarlet lead bomb flew out, traversed its trajectory, and fell on the distant rocks. Later, the red and dark shadows disappeared again, but they still wandered far away on the top of the mountain.
"Did you see it?" Eberxi put down the empty matchlock on his shoulder and asked Maitreya.
"I saw it, monkey!" Maitreya nodded. Even if there was no light in the dark night, he could clearly see that it was a lot of apes.
"It's the orangutan in the forest here. They want to take back the land here and plant trees."
"For what?" Maitreya asked.
"Huh?" Eberxi was stunned and didn't understand what Maitreya meant.
"What do you want this place to do?" Maitreya explained the intention of his question.
"Why do you think so!" Eberxi was surprised.
"If you want this place to be useless, why not let them be planted with trees, it is good for you!" Maitreya shook his head.
"... Maybe I found the wrong person. I wanted to ask you to help me hunt down the mountain beast gods." Eber hoped for Maitreya. After a long while, he shook his head, slightly disappointed, and explained his hope.
"Oh, I thought you asked me to help treat the artisans!" Maitreya smiled slightly and sarcastically.
"This can also save them. The blood of the mountain beast god is said to cure any illness." Eberxi explained.
"Supposedly? Just for something that didn't know whether it was true or not?" Maitreya sneered. He felt that this Eberxi killed the mountain beast god and took blood to cure the disease. He snatched the mountain forest from the monster. It is true, but no matter what her intentions are, she will never get involved in such disputes.
"Forget it." Seeing that Maitreya had a prejudice against herself, Eberxi did not defend herself. She originally thought Maitreya could kill Nagcol and do things for the poor to win, but Maitreya will treat leprosy just now. It was given to her, and now he clearly expresses his attitude, but it is inconvenient to persuade.
Although he no longer wins, Eberxi still proposes that he hopes Maitreya will stay for two days to help prepare the first dose of medicinal liquor and avoid them admitting wrong medicine when they soak in the wine. Maitreya does not matter, but he has to go back and ask everyone for their opinions.
Maitreya went back and talked to Inuyasha and Kagome about the matter. He had to make medicinal liquor for the lepers in the city, and he would have to wait a few days before leaving, and everyone didn't care. For example, Hitomi had a very good impression of the city.
"This city is really very vibrant, do you know? They are all women working in the factory!"
When faced with Hitomi, Kagome and Inuyasha were nothing, but Maitreya was a little surprised. It was not a crooked mind, but that the city of Dadara was an iron-producing city, and the iron smelter would recruit weak female workers, wouldn’t it? Just kidding!
Seeing Maitreya’s expression was a little surprised, Hitomi thought he didn’t believe him, and quickly said that she hadn’t lied. Today, she went to the factory in the center of the village to see it, and also tried the work of those women herself. It’s quite fun. If you want, Tomorrow everyone can go and have a look together, and Maitreya will naturally not refuse, but she also said that she will ask Abexi, after all, she is the master here.
