Chapter II Cause of Death
"Haqiu! Haqiu!" Frank sneezed with a bitter face, and rubbed his body over and over again as his master's instructions, until his skin was rubbed red and his torn linen shirt was washed, before he was allowed to go back to the shore.
After getting ashore, except for his wet hair and beard, he still looked like a homeless man, the smell of sweat like a salted fish on Frank's body disappeared. His face was blue and pale, a bit like a dead person, and his whole body was trembling, as if he was about to faint.
Qin Lun raised his eyebrows a little unexpectedly. Although it was night, the season was not cold. He had also gone down the stream and did not feel very cold. Although Frank was a little disabled, he was used to being a coolie and his physical foundation should not be so bad.
"Ahem..." Frank covered his mouth and coughed violently under the invasion of the cold stream. A trace of abnormal redness appeared on his face.
Qin Lun's pupils shrank. Although Frank quickly put his hand behind him, through the moonlight, he had already seen the bloody color exposed in the fingers of the hunchbacked servant.
Qin Lun stepped forward, grabbed Frank's right wrist and felt his pulse. Frank struggled a few times, but after seeing the master's strict eyes, he shrank his neck and calmed down.
Release Frank's wrist, Qin Lun frowned slightly, and the hunchbacked servant's pulse was extremely weak, almost dying. But in Wellington's remaining memory, Frank has always been an impression of a monster with infinite power.
Looking at Frank's miserable appearance, Qin Lun's heart moved slightly. Even if Wellington rarely cared about this loyal servant in the past, as a doctor, his servant's physical condition should attract his attention. It seems that Frank's current physical changes should have only appeared after Wellington's death.
Qin Lun closed his eyes and searched for relevant clues in Wellington's remaining memories. After a moment, he opened his eyes again. There was indeed no clue about Frank's physical condition in Wellington's memory, but Qin Lun found the cause of Wellington's death.
As a young doctor without an official license, Wellington rarely has patients to visit. However, in recent times, it has been an exception. A serious epidemic spreads in several small towns near Wellington's residence. Many poor people in the town look down on regular doctors and have to come to the inexperienced Wellington for treatment.
However, it is obvious that Wellington's poor medical skills not only failed to cure these patients, but also caused himself to get infected with an epidemic and finally got rid of his hair. Frank rarely contacted patients, and his condition was probably only infected when he was taking care of Wellington.
Recalling this disease, Qin Lun showed a cautious expression on his face. The mortality rate of this disease is extremely high and the incidence rate is extremely fast. The patient's fever does not subside on the first day, coughs up blood the next day, and there is no abnormality on the surface of his body, but the internal organs have begun to rot and will die directly on the third day.
Qin Lun is definitely at the level of a doctorate in medicine based on the medical knowledge he has read. However, the books he read are all on earth. In this strange world, it is impossible to determine the type and treatment plan of this disease.
In Wellington's memory, this disease seems to be not the first time it has appeared in a small town. It has been circulated before, and it often appears quickly and disappears quickly, and it is not as infectious as it is now.
It has been the third day since Wellington's death! Frank has survived until now and has coughed up blood, which shows that his physique is indeed much stronger than normal people.
On the other hand... Qin Lun's face showed a strange look, which probably had the effect of medical alcohol. The concentration of medical alcohol mixed with water should drop below 75%, but it tasted at least more than 40%. This concentration just played a disinfectant role, delaying the onset of Frank's disease.
As for why this ignorant hunchback was not poisoned by medical alcohol, Qin Lun guessed that if this medical alcohol was not qualified, it was because Frank's stomach had been tested for a long time and was trained.
If he didn't save him, Frank would probably not last for two days! Qin Lun hesitated for a moment and immediately made a decision. In any case, he needs a helper now, and the loyal servant Frank is the best candidate at present.
Qin Lun turned the wine pot, ignored the resentful eyes of the hunchbacked servant, poured the alcohol mixed with water clean, went to the stream to clean it, and poured a little stream into it. Then, he took out the crystal bottle containing the "World Tree Flower Dew" from his arms, squeezed open the bottle plug, and gently dripped a drop of flower dew into it.
"Drink it, don't leave it!" Qin Lun handed the wine pot back to the servant and ordered it with a calm face.
"Oh... it smells so good!" Frank put his garlic nose into the wine pot and sniffed it, then drank the "World Tree Flower Dew" diluted with stream water in one sip.
"Do you feel anything?" Qin Lun looked at the hunchbacked servant with a burning look, and was very interested in the effect of "World Tree Flower Dew".
"Nothing...wow~~" Frank smacked his big mouth with unsatisfactory feelings. As soon as he said a sentence, his face changed drastically, his throat twitched, he bulged his cheeks, and leaned over and vomited.
"Gulu, Gulu!" The hunchbacked ugly man not only vomited heavily, but also had adverse reactions in his abdomen. He immediately covered his stomach and ran wildly towards the grass by the stream. As an adult, even if he didn't care about his image, he didn't want to take off his pants directly in front of Qin Lun.
"This reaction seems a bit intense!" Qin Lun muttered to himself, lowered his head and glanced at Frank's vomit, and immediately frowned again, "It doesn't look like a parasite, this kind of epidemic..."
The pile of dirty vomit was covered with a lot of blood. The strangest thing was that some dark green jelly-shaped unknown substances inside were squirming slightly, looking like small slimes.
"Master, what are you giving me drink?"
After a while, Frank walked out of the woods with a slight pace. Compared to before, his face turned as white as a dead person this time.
"How do you feel?" Qin Lun touched Frank's wrist again. The hunchbacked servant's pulse was still a little weak, but it was much more stable than before.
"I don't have the strength all over, but it seems that my body is much more relaxed." Frank replied weakly, "Young Master, your medicine is too strong!"
Qin Lun nodded without comment. It is logical that "World Tree Flower Dew" is a plant life essence. After being taken by the human body, it should slowly enhance the body's recovery and immunity, and will not suddenly become a powerful excretion drug.
The current effect is most likely the "virus" in Frank's body, which has a huge conflict with the essence of Hualu's life, which will make the hunchbacked ugly man vomit and diarrhea. Although the "World Tree Hualu" failed to play its own role, it also allowed Frank to eliminate most of the "viruses", which was considered a mistake.
Qin Lun glanced at the shaky hunchbacked servant, sighed softly, pulled out the cork of the crystal bottle and dripped a drop into the wine pot.
Save people to the end, send Buddha to the West! Since you have paid a drop of World Tree Dew, you cannot relapse the poison in Frank's body. Moreover, there are many things to do next. How can he be an errand? Qin Lun doesn't have time to wait for him to slowly recover from his health.
"Go to the stream to fill with water. Your illness has not yet recovered. If you don't want to die, you will take a sip of the medicine in the pot every hour." Qin Lun handed the pot to Frank again, "When you can continue on your way, we will go back!"
I have to say that Frank's physical foundation is indeed good. Of course, it is also possible that the second drop of World Tree Dew finally played its due role. The hunchbacked servant's face quickly returned to rosy. After only half an hour of rest, he was greatly energetic.
"Master Wellington, let's go home. Frank feels that his strength is back!" The hunchbacked servant stood up, pinched his knuckles excitedly, and took the lead in walking in front.
At this time, the horizon began to shine, and a ray of dawn dispelled the haze of the woods and hanged on the treetops of the woods.
Wellington's home is about five or six miles away from the woods cemetery. It is located on a small hillside with a relatively high terrain, just looking at a small town covered by morning mist not far away.
This is a two-story wooden and stone building, which looks quite elegant and unique from a distance. However, when you come close, you can find that the exterior walls of the building are mottled, the corners of the walls are covered with grass and moss, and a dilapidated scene.
"Dou~~Warning, the environment here is different from the living conditions of this world. Please leave as soon as possible, otherwise the body will fall into a state of continuous damage!"
The message from the death list changed slightly. Qin Lun's face, and he grabbed the hunchbacked servant who was leading the way, squinted his eyes and looked at the small building again.
"Give me the wine pot, stay here!" Qin Lun took out a silk handkerchief from his vest pocket, sprinkled some diluted flower dew, covered his mouth and nose, and pushed open the wooden door of the small building.
The decorations in the small building are quite simple, with several portraits of characters hanging on the walls of the corridor. These are several ancestors of the Stan family. In the generation of Grandpa Wellington, the Stan family was actually a relatively famous Xinglin family in this area. Unfortunately, Wellington's father had no interest in studying medicine and went to do business. As a result, he suffered a lot of money and lost all his wealth.
After Wellington's father died, Wellington had to rely on selling his family to maintain his life and allow himself to continue studying medicine. In fact, this young man's medical skills were not as inferior as Qin Lun imagined. At least he still had the Stan family's medical talent in surgery.
Of course, this is also related to Frank's frequent trip to the cemetery to steal the body for his dissection and study.
Unfortunately, Wellington was not experienced after all, so he barely treated those patients with the disease, and finally let himself die before he could succeed, completely cutting off the bloodline of the Stan family.
Qin Lun followed Wellington's remaining memories and ran quickly to the second floor bedroom, took out a small cloth bag from the secret lattice of the desk and put it in the pocket. Then he ran downstairs again, opened the secret door of a small storage room, and walked along the wooden ladder into the basement of the small building.
This is Wellington's Medical Laboratory, and his operating room and anatomical table!
