Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 681 Earthworks
Among the tribes where the large group of troops were stationed, most of the patients who were moaning in the hammocks had gone to the ground, and the gloom had turned into laughter.

The people of Daming and the North American Indian tribes not only brought them life-saving medicines, but also many, many good things they dreamed of.

For example, corn on the cob.

Not only does this stuff fill the stomach, it also tastes unusually sweet, and it's quite simple to process, basically just add a little salt and boil it with water.

The Indian tribes here are still in the most primitive stage. They don’t know how to grow food crops. They usually rely on hunting and gathering wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger. Moreover, they basically eat whatever is cooked, as long as they can fill their stomachs.

As for the taste, it is basically tasteless.

It can be said that corn on the cob is the most delicious food they have ever eaten.

Of course, except for fruits, some delicious fruits can still be found in the jungle.

However, that thing can't be eaten as a meal, and the amount is limited. They can only eat it occasionally, and it is impossible to eat it every day.

This corn cob is different. The Indian tribes in North America have planted tens of millions of acres. They don’t bring too much. They are basically one sack and one sack. There are only a few hundred people in this tribe. How do you want to eat it? No matter how you eat it, you can't finish it at all.

Of course, eating vegetarian food alone is not enough, there must be meat.

They also brought a lot of beef jerky or something.

They even brought fishing nets.

The tribes here are basically still in the stage of fishing with their hands, and they don't even know how to fish. Naturally, there are a lot of fish in the river.

That guy, there are dozens of nets cast in a net, and a few nets are enough to feed two or three hundred people.

The people in the tribe here probably haven't had a few full meals, and their eyes are shining when they see the food, and they can't move their eyes away.

The young and strong of the Indian tribes in North America feel sorry for them, and everyone is thinking of ways to get them delicious food.

Starting early in the morning, several large pots of cooking have never stopped.

They boiled corn to cook batter, cooked batter to cook fish soup, and the team that went out to hunt after cooking fish soup came back with various prey.

At this moment, the North American Indian tribe was far ahead of them, and even hunted much better than them.

With a long spear and black iron knife in hand, the jaguar, the overlord of the jungle, had to run away when he saw them, otherwise, it would become a meal on the plate.

The young and strong of the North American Indian tribe were thinking of ways to cook delicious food for them, and Li Shuben was also thinking of ways to cook herbal tea for them.

However, Li Shu did not use the herbs they brought.

Because they only brought a hundred packs of herbal medicine in total, and half of the five tribes lost one share.

If it is boiled again, it will be enough for a tribe for a day.

Naturally, this little herbal medicine is not enough, they don't know how many days they will stay here, these few days they themselves have to drink some herbal tea, otherwise everyone may be poisoned by heat.

Moreover, the herbal teas of the tribes here can't be stopped these days. Heat poison doesn't mean that drinking a bowl of tortoise jelly or herbal tea will completely eradicate it.

Question, what to do without so many herbs?

Li Shuben is trying to find a way to make herbal tea with the herbs collected here.

In fact, there are quite a lot of herbs here, even more types than those in Daming.

It's just that the people here basically don't understand medical principles and medicinal properties, so they don't know how to use so many herbs.

Li Shuben was different, he was a medical sage, and when his grandfather Li Shizhen compiled the "Compendium of Materia Medica", his brothers had studied together for several years, so he was not too familiar with herbal medicine.

However, the herbal medicine here is still different from that of Daming, and many things look different from those of Daming.

For example, lotus leaf.

The lotus leaves here are so big that it scares me to death. One piece has a radius of Zhang Xu, so it's no problem to wrap me up!

Lotus leaf is one of the main ingredients for making herbal tea. It is a good thing to have more and more nature.

But the herbal tea is not enough to just blind the lotus leaf, at least you have to add some herbal medicines with seven or eight flavors to clear away heat and detoxify to achieve the medicinal effect.

The problem is that the ingredients commonly used in herbal teas such as chrysanthemum, honeysuckle, licorice, mulberry leaves, and yam cannot be found here.

Fortunately, Li Shuben is quite familiar with all kinds of herbs, and soon he found herbs that can clear away heat and detoxify, such as phoenix tree, wild pepper, andrographis paniculata, and fat sea.

In addition, the sugarcane grown in large quantities here can also be used as a main ingredient.

More importantly, he also found a main species of acacia that can treat malaria.

The disease acquired by the tribe here is somewhat similar to malaria caused by mosquito bites.

Add more of these alternative herbs, cook for a longer time, and make the concoction thicker, which should also have the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying.

Li Shuben was standing next to several cauldrons, trying to cook this kind of soil-recipe herbal tea prepared with alternative herbs, when there was a sudden sound of chaotic footsteps and exclamations from the southeast.

Soon, Wang Chong, who was covered in weeds, led over a hundred people to carry an unconscious young Indian from the tribe, panting, and said anxiously, "My lord, when we searched for the source of the miasma poison, what happened?" The young man was accidentally bitten by a poisonous snake, do you think he can be saved?"

Poisoned by snakes!

This cannot be delayed.

Li Shuben quickly dropped the herbs in his hand, walked over quickly, glanced quickly, and then closed his eyes to check the young man's veins.

After a while, he opened his eyes, let go of his hands, and sighed slightly: "Fortunately, the treatment was done in a timely manner. Although the poison of this snake is strong, the poisonous gas has not completely spread to the heart, lungs and internal organs. It should be rescued."

After that, he pointed directly at the open space next to him and said, "Hurry up and get some bedding, and make it about three feet high."

With a wave of Wang Chong's hand, hundreds of people immediately rushed into the nearby tents, and ran towards this side with their blankets in their arms.

Soon, a bedding floor about three feet high was laid on the ground.

Li Shuben directed the crowd to gently lay the young man flat on the floor, then pulled the snake-bitten foot aside and let it hang down, looked carefully, and then said decisively: "Bring the bucket for fetching water."

After finishing speaking, he took his medicine box, took out a medium-sized silver needle, and quickly poked around the wound.

The silver needle instantly turned black, and black and red blood soon appeared around the wound.

This toxicity is really not ordinary strong!
Seeing this, Li Shuben frowned, then carefully put the foot bitten by the poisonous snake into the bucket, and then said in a loud voice: "Men stay away, women come over and pee on the wound."

what?
Hearing this, Wang Chong couldn't help being taken aback.

He was stunned for a moment, and then asked cautiously: "Sir, this one must be a woman, it seems that a man is more convenient to wash the wound, right?"

Li Shuben said without hesitation: "Snake venom is yin poison. A man's urine carries yang energy. Although the yin venom will be partially neutralized when it encounters yang energy, it will also penetrate into the blood and escape. It takes a woman's urine to dilute the yin venom."

Oh, that's what happened.

Hearing this, Wang Chong quickly yelled to the back: "The man hides away quickly, the woman comes over and pees on the wound, hurry up."

Uh, this urine doesn't come out just by urinating!
The men quickly ran away, and the women also quickly gathered, but there were not many who could urinate.

There is no way, the day is already hot, and they have almost given out the excess water in their bodies just by sweating, so there is no need to urinate.

Seeing this, Li Shuben pointed to the several pots of herbal tea he tried to brew and said, "Hurry up, take the bowl and drink all the herbal tea in the pot."

A group of women heard the words and hurried to get the bowls.

Li Shuben ran to the tent where the herbs were placed and rummaged quickly.

Of course, snake venom cannot be removed with a few bubbles of urine.

Urine can also dilute the snake venom near the wound, and the snake venom that has escaped into the blood has to be detoxified with medicine.

Fortunately, what they brought this time are all warm and detoxifying medicines. Angelica dahurica, Viola chinensis, dandelion, Prunella vulgaris, etc. all have the effect of detoxifying snakes.

However, this guy was bitten by a poisonous snake, and this antidote seems not enough.

Li Shuben pondered for a while, then suddenly remembered.

By the way, acacia.

Acacia is also a good medicine for detoxifying snakes, and the local acacia should have a miraculous effect on detoxifying local snakes!
