Chapter 12 - chapter xii - the swamp malaria ghost

 Just as the elm money of the female doctor's workshop climbed up the bamboo fence, Li Chengqian crashed through the door of the courtyard holding the newly carved wooden sign "Ten Rules for Malaria Prevention", and the lapel of his coat was still stained with the wood shavings that flew away from the last night's carving knife. Fu Ling stared at the twisted "malaria" character on the wooden board and grinned: "Your Highness, you carved 'malaria' into 'malaria abuse', is it possible that you want to abuse the sick ghosts?" "Shut up," he said. "Shut up! "

 Li Chengqian nose dipped in elm money, the sleeve fell out half of the carving waste of the wooden plate - above the twisted carved "Xiaoman do not be afraid", "I am... This is a warning to the malaria ghosts that we can only be abused." "Abused? ""The one who will be abused is your carving knife," Lin Xiaoman smiled and took the wooden plate, his fingertips scratched over the new scratches on the back of his hand, "The outbreak of cold and feverish disease in the villages around the Kunming Pond, Dr. Zhang said that it was the 'water ghosts', and he was spreading vermilion sand in the lake. Cinnabar. "

 She suddenly glimpsed the bulging purse at his waist, "What's inside is my sun-dried Changshan? "Before the words left her mouth, the fisherman covered in watercress crashed through the courtyard door, the silt on his straw shoes dripping onto the green bricks: "Doctor Lin! The men in the village have fever and chills during the day and speak nonsense at night, and the old doctor said he would tie them to the water's edge to sacrifice to the ghosts... ""Fever and chills? " Lin Xiaoman grabbed the microscope and the artemisia wine, "It could be malaria - Your Highness, fill all the mugwort smokers in the female healers' workshop, and bring ten ponies of gauze soaked in garlic juice! "

 The reeds of Kunming Pond smelled of rotting leaves, Li Chengqian rode his horse in the forefront, the jade pendant at his waist was clanked by the reeds, "Xiaoman, the malaria ghosts you are talking about, are they like the drought drought in the Book of Sojourn of the Gods? ""A thousand times smaller than the drought demon," Lin Xiaoman looked at his stiff back and laughed straight, "It's a small insect hidden in the stomach of a mosquito - has Lord Zhang arrived? "On the sunbathing field of the lakeside village, Doctor Zhang is directing the villagers to throw live chickens into the lake, and patches of vermilion sand are floating on the surface: "The water demon will leave after sucking in the popularity of the water demon..." "The water demon will leave after sucking in the popularity of the water demon... " "It is better to leave than to expel the insects! "

 Lin Xiaoman lifted the reed mat of the grass house, the patient was wrapped in a quilt and swaying, his fingernail caps glowing greenish-purple. She used a three-pronged needle to take a blood smear and said into the microscope, "Lord Zhang, look at this ring-shaped insect body - a thousand times thinner than your peach wood sword - it is the malaria ghost in its true form. "Li Chengqian suddenly raised the gauze soaked in garlic juice and waved it randomly towards the reeds by the lake: "If mosquitoes dare to come near, I will make them choke to death on the garlic fragrance! "

 He turned to the fishermen, "Cut down the weeds around the lake and use the mugwort smoker to drive away the mosquitoes - if the water ghost dares to protest, let it taste my carving knife! "Doctor Zhang came to the microscope, his presbyopic eyes almost broke the slide: "This, this is clearly the soul of the water ghost..." "This is the soul of the water ghost..." "This is the soul of the water ghost..." "This is the soul of the water ghost..." "This is the soul of the water ghost... " "The insect body of the soul," Lin Xiaoman handed the patient the Changshan Wine, "Take it warm three times a day, and drink light salt water to replenish qi and blood--Master Zhang, you should wouldn't think that throwing live chickens would be more useful than exterminating mosquitoes, right? "She pointed to the lake surface of the floating weeds," the first mosquito, and then treat the water, is the right thing to do. "In the middle of the chaos, the fisherman's wife rushed in holding the child, the toddler's forehead is hot as iron: "Medical Zheng! Hu Wa said in the middle of the night that he saw a water ghost scratching his feet... "Rub your body with artemisia juice."

 Lin Xiaoman handed over a cloth towel soaked in herbs, "Focus on rubbing the elbow sockets and the backs of the knees--Master Zhang, you're not going to give the child a mahogany bracelet, are you? "In the late afternoon, when the first patient's chills subsided, Dr. Zhang added a startling addition to his error book, "Malaria is not to be sacrificed to ghosts, and it is important to distinguish between insect evils and water phantoms. Attachment: microscope malaria parasite diagram has been painted, shaped like a grain of rice on the beard of Dr. Zhang. "He suddenly saw that Li Chengqian was stuffing Lin Xiaoman's medicine chest with baked lake fish, fish with carving knives as forks, the tips of his ears suddenly red over the evening sun. As twilight spread into the reeds, the fisherman came in with freshly beaten lotus pods, their seeds stained with lake water: "Doctor Lin, try some from our lake... "Stop! "

 Li Chengqian suddenly reached out to stop, "The lotus seeds must be blanched in boiling water before eating - didn't you see the picture of malaria worms drawn by Xiaoman? Raw water is more poisonous than a water ghost! "He turned his head to the villagers, "Starting tomorrow, each person will be issued a gauze hat to prevent mosquitoes, and violators will be penalized with the carving of ten insect repellent tags! "The old doctor Zheng's coughing sound startled the perched heron, Li Chengqian can no longer tense, hiding behind the mugwort smoker laughing straight patting his thighs. Lin Xiaoman took the opportunity to "malaria prevention and control law" "mosquito extermination regulations" engraved in the lakeside monument, and at the end of the cartoon mosquitoes were choked by the garlic juice fly illustration: "for the children to see, more than talking about the medical theory of refreshing. "

 On the way back, Li Chengqian suddenly touched a wooden box from his sleeve, which is a silver bracelet engraved with the pattern of malarial worms: "In the Lake God Temple, the Taoist priest said that it can suppress water ghosts..." Before finishing his sentence, the silver bracelet was engraved with the pattern of malarial worms. "Before finishing his sentence, the silver bracelet suddenly stuck on Lin Xiaoman's wrist and couldn't be taken down, he was so anxious that he stomped his feet, "You, you wait, I learned the fisherman's lotus leaf lubrication method... "

 The lights of Chang'an City reflect the waves of Kunming Pond, the lanterns of the Female Medical Workshop newly added
