Chapter 351 Simple Mask
"Prevention? Can this disease be prevented?"
After hearing Ying Qi's question, Yu He thought for a moment and asked him back, "Does the detoxification pill only work afterward?"
Since the detoxification pills can be taken before or after the disease, why can't we prevent illness in advance?
After hearing her explanation, Ying Jing and Hua Wu understood instantly.
"No orcs have ever thought of preventing illness before it happens. Among orcs, only young and old orcs have weaker constitutions. They all come to the witch for treatment only when they are sick."
Hua Wu sighed.
Ying Jing continued to taste the medicine, and then he began to identify what herbs were in Yu He's preventive medicine.
However, he could taste most of the herbs in the medicine, but he couldn't figure out what the last one was.
"Besides raw rhubarb, cangzhi, white root, and stinking fish grass, what is the other ingredient in this medicine?"
Seeing that Ying Qi couldn't distinguish all the herbs, Hua Wu took two sips while they were still hot and said, "Why do I feel that the last herb looks like water orchid?"
Ying Jing quickly denied it, "Water orchid does give the medicine a hint of sweetness when used as medicine, but it doesn't have that pungent taste."
Yu He smiled and said, "It's definitely not a water orchid, but it looks very similar to one. Didn't Yang Tao just introduce us to some new herbs that the two wandering witches found here? I added amber to it."
"Raw Huang is cold in nature, and can dissipate heat and detoxify. Cangzhi is hot in nature, and can strengthen the spleen and relieve qi..."
When Ying Yu knew what the last ingredient was, he couldn't stop muttering, "Finally, add amber. This medicine mainly aims to alleviate the orcs' physical discomfort, so as to maintain their health and prevent strange diseases."
Yu He smiled, "I remember Master Yun Wu once said to me that orcs are like a house. If you live in it for a long time, some things in the house will be damaged.
If only one or two bowls are broken or a stool is missing, these can be easily replaced, and most of the time their absence will not have any impact on the orc's life.
But if the door is broken and the window is not closed tightly, insects and ants will crawl in during the humid season, the sun will shine in during the dry season, the rain will drift in during the rainy season, and the cold wind will blow in during the cold season.
If an orc becomes uncomfortable living in a house, it means there's something wrong with it. Although it's not serious, it needs to be addressed promptly to prevent the orcs from becoming overwhelmed and leaving the house.
"So, for orcs, being sick is like living in a house that can't keep out the wind or the rain, and we witches are the ones who repair their house."
Hua Wu reacted quickly too. After listening to what Yu He said, she almost guessed what she was going to say next.
"Then, He Wu, how do you think we should repair the houses where these orcs with strange diseases live?"
Ying Jing felt that Yu He's words were really logical, so he couldn't help but ask her about her opinion on treating strange diseases. Bai Wu had asked them to go around today, but now they could only do things like picking and boiling medicine. He couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
I thought the three of them could discuss the situation among themselves, since they would just say a few words behind my back anyway.
Tomorrow he would have to follow the old witch's prescription when he got the medicine. Otherwise, if something really happened and the teacher found out when he got back, Ying Jing knew that the teacher would definitely beat him to death.
Yu He pondered for a long moment, then shook his head. "I don't think I'm sure. You've all seen the prescriptions written by the old witches. The White Witches are very experienced. If we were to prescribe a medicine, we certainly wouldn't dare to do it the same way they do."
Some prescriptions are even unconventional. You don't even need to look at them to know that they are prescribed for orcs who are about to die of illness or orcs who are sick and voluntarily come to try the medicine. After taking one dose, you don't know whether the disease is cured or not, but it will definitely not make you feel better.
Hua Wu whispered, "Didn't I bring two An Lu turtles from Qingcheng? When do you think I should tell Bai Wu and the others about the An Lu turtles?"
Yu He looked at Ying Qi.
Ying Jing immediately shook his head and said to Hua Wu, "Bai Wu and the others will definitely need to understand the situation thoroughly before using the Anlu turtle as medicine. And you didn't just bring two Anlu turtles from Qingcheng. The leader of the Qingque tribe told Bai Wu and the others that the Anlu turtle is effective in treating strange diseases. That's why we brought several Anlu turtles with us when we came."
I didn't dare bring more because I was afraid they would all die on the way. If it could be confirmed that the Anlu turtle was the key to curing the strange disease, then the more alive Anlu turtles the better.
Hua Wu looked at Yu He in surprise. Yu He immediately looked at his nose and thought, "It seems to be the case."
In fact, she mentioned this matter to Qing Fan, and Qing Fan went to find two old witches. But who knew that when Yu He went to ask Qingcheng about An Lugui, only a female orc who was protecting Ying Yu and the old witch went with her.
Ying Jing didn't even go over to listen. She thought Bai Wu and the others didn't take the news seriously.
She didn't mention it again on the way, thinking that if there was no way to cure the strange disease, she would mention the matter of An Lugui to Bai Wu.
But now it seems that Bai Wu and the others did not pay attention to this matter. They may just know that the foreign orcs who can survive are those who can practice orcs, and the females and cubs who are infected with the disease still died.
Obviously, in their eyes, whether the Anlu turtle can be used as medicine to cure strange diseases depends on luck. However, witches cannot just rely on luck to treat diseases and save people. They still have to prescribe and use medicine according to the actual situation.
"It's getting late. Ying Qi, go ask Yang Tao how long we have to keep this medicine going."
They have just arrived, so they must get enough sleep first so that they can be in a better state to face the upcoming battlefield tomorrow.
Ying Yu left and came back soon.
Considering that Yu He and the other two are female, Yang Tao asked them to go to bed early today as they would be busy tomorrow.
Hearing this, Yu He and Hua Wu did not hesitate and went to the backyard together.
Hua Wu's beast husband and Qing Fan had not left yet. Cleaning up the living quarters for the two females was a small matter, but they had to prepare food and daily necessities for their females in advance, otherwise they would be busy until how late before they could go to bed.
A good night's sleep.
The next day, Yu He and Hua Wu got up early and were called by four old witches to boil medicine.
While boiling the medicine, Yu He quickly made two simple masks and gave one to Hua Wu. "I'll go with you when I deliver the medicine later. You'll feel more comfortable wearing this."
There was a smell in the house of the sick orcs. Yesterday, I didn't take any measures in order to observe the situation, but today I went to the place where the seriously ill orcs lived. Such a place must be guarded against.
The one who took them to deliver the medicine was Ying Yu. Seeing that both females were wearing cloth covering their mouths and noses, he was stunned for a moment, but did not say anything. The smell of medicine in the house of a seriously ill orc would only be stronger. It was normal for the females to be unable to bear it as they were delicate.
