The construction site in front of me is extremely dull.

At this time, the sky was dark, and there were curling blue smoke rising everywhere. The busy day was the men making fires and cooking. Two thousand people were scattered in groups of three or five in the area on both sides of the road. They were tired and demented. Looking at the arrival of a group of soldiers and carriages, many people quickly stood up and stood with their hands down, while others did not move any movement and thought they had not seen it.

"Meet the county magistrate!" A burly middle-aged man wearing cloth armor, a long sword hanging around his waist, and a whip in his hand. He quickly came up with a few soldiers to salute Jiangbeiting together.

"No gifts, take us to see a serious medical servant!" Jiang Beiting waved his hand.

"Sir, please come with me!" The man turned around and walked over the roadbed to a low valley. Chen Xu also quickly followed. After walking for hundreds of meters, he saw a large area of ​​lodging thorns and weeds. Dozens of ragged men were lying on them. Many were humming, and there was a sour smell in the air. An old man with a half-year-old man was taking three teenagers of fifteen or sixteen to feed some men some dark things with his hands. He should be a doctor and apprentice who treats diseases.

"Sir, all the seriously ill people are here. The situation is slightly better on the other side. Today, two more civilians died!" A group of people stood more than ten meters away from a group of civilians. The man said with an ugly expression.

"I'm going to take a look!" Chen Xu took off his T-shirt and covered his mouth and nose.

"Hurry up and do as you do!" Jiang Beiting quickly ordered.

"Lighting the torch~" As the man shouted, several soldiers lit a few torches, dispelling the dim night for a while.

"Give me the torch!" Chen Xu reached out to take a torch, then walked to the nearest civilian, squatted down.

He was ragged, withered face, sunken eyes, chapped lips, and a dull expression. This is the situation of this civilian, and his whole body was filled with a strong sour smell. At first glance, it was the case that diarrhea caused dehydration.

"How do you feel now?" Chen Xu asked.

The civil servant struggled for a few times and tried to sit up but failed. He had to lie down and said weakly: "I have a fever in my stomach, dry mouth, and weak all over. My husband, I... am I dying too? I am from Dongshan Village. I also have a 60-year-old mother, my wife is also a cripple, and she has a pair of underage children. If I die, will I not have to pay the grain tax this year..."

"Don't think about it all. You guys have eaten something unclean. I'm here to treat you specifically!" Chen Xu comforted.

"Young man, don't lie to me. More than a dozen have died in the past two days. This is a plague disease and cannot be cured. I pity my mother and my child, no one will take care of me in the future!" The man in his thirties said, and tears instantly flowed out.

Chen Xu sighed secretly and stood up, took the torch and looked at a few more people before returning.

"How about the nephew? Can you solve it?" Jiang Beiting asked anxiously.

"Sir, prepare a lot of salt and boiling water, and go and call all four villagers of Xiaohe Village over!" Chen Xu handed the torch to the soldiers next to him, took off the T-shirt covering his face and said.

"Go and arrange it quickly~" Jiang Beiting quickly ordered, and a group of soldiers immediately scattered everywhere, and soon shouts rang around. Many civilians stood up to fetch water and burn fire, and Ma Erdan and Tian Dazhuang were also led by two soldiers.

"Xiaoxu, I... we didn't say it on purpose!" Ma Erdan looked at Chen Xu and said nervously.

"It doesn't matter, you guys hurry up and bring all the remaining medicine!"

"The medicine was taken away by the military inspector!" Niu Dazhuang looked at the black-faced man next to him nervously.

"Go and get it!" Jiang Beiting shouted angrily.

"Sir, wait!" The black-faced man quickly turned around and brought a few bamboo tubes. Chen Xu opened it and looked at it. He found that most of the remaining ones were left. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Sir, after the water boils, arrange for people to use warm water to take these pills for each seriously ill person to take three pills, and then chew some licorice slices. It's too late now, and it's too late to find herbs. The sick people are not allowed to drink raw water from now on. They must drink warm water with salt added to the boil. Everything can only be made after dawn!"

"That's all!" At this time, the sky was almost dim and almost invisible, and Jiang Beiting could only sigh.

Half an hour later, as the water boiled, the salt was thrown into the water tank and stirred continuously with a wooden stick. When the temperature dropped to a point where it was drinkable, under Chen Xu's arrangement, some civilians took the pills to take the seriously ill people, and then stuffed a few licorice tablets into everyone's mouth for them to chew and swallow.

As a former takeaway guy, the treatment of diseases is indeed too far beyond the skill range.

In this era of shortage of medical treatment and medicine, even if Chen Xu knew the treatment method, he would not dare to make any promises. Moreover, he was poor and had nothing at the moment. Even salt, the most basic thing that supplements the balance of body fluid electrolytes, is extremely scarce.

As the saying goes, people are left to fate. The life and death of these people can only depend on God's will. If the symptoms can be slightly relieved tomorrow morning, they may be able to be saved, otherwise they will have diarrhea and die of dehydration.

It was getting late, and stars and moon appeared on the sky.

He rode a horse and took a car, and had bumped for nearly a hundred kilometers in a row. Chen Xu was already in a state of pain. He ate some dry food brought by the soldiers and fell asleep on the haystack.

"Nephew, nephew~"

Chen Xu, who was sleeping in a daze, was awakened by Jiang Beiting, the sky was already white.

"Nephew, good news, none of the seriously ill men died last night, and they were still alive!" Jiang Beiting obviously didn't sleep much all night, his hair was messy and his eyes were covered with two dark circles. After waking Chen Xu, he was very excited.

Chen Xu turned over and got up, and then he found that there were many people standing or sitting around him, including soldiers and civilians, all talking in a low voice, and many people had obvious joy on their faces.

"Let's go and see!" Chen Xu jumped up and walked towards the valley. Sure enough, dozens of civilians who looked dying last night were still alive at this time, and more than a dozen of them could even sit up. After seeing Chen Xu, these people quickly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed and shouted for their kindness to thank you for your life-saving.

Chen Xu had no time to talk, so he checked the condition of more than a dozen civilians and asked about the symptoms, most of which had no diarrhea.

In other words, the native elixir pill and licorice tablets from yesterday still worked!

Chen Xu was very happy, and at the same time, he was inexplicably surprised by the physical condition of people in this era. He was so fucked and he could take some medicine to survive.

And he also thought of the foodie Yu Wuya instantly.

At that time, the two wounds more than one foot long on their body almost dried up. After sewing the wound, they came alive only after one night. After recuperating for two or three days, they began to jump around.

Therefore, people of this era are generally more durable, otherwise they would not be able to withstand the magnificent project of building the Great Wall.
