Rebirth from Conan

Chapter 206 Disease
"You only started coughing like this a month and a half ago, right?" Xia He asked.

Casilli: “?”

Looking at the serious expression on the child's tender face, Casilli nodded subconsciously and replied, "Yes."

"Then over the past month and a half, my cough has gradually worsened, I often produce phlegm in my throat, I have a low-grade fever, excessive sweating, fatigue, and loss of appetite, right?"

"How do you know?" There was surprise in Casilli's eyes.

"Because people with tuberculosis all have these symptoms," Xia He explained.

"Tuberculosis?" It was the first time that Casilli heard these three words and he scratched his forehead lightly.

Minian immediately explained: "Dad, that's the name of Mom's disease. Xia He said he can help cure it..."

Casilli: “.”

Treating a child under one year old?

What diseases can he cure?

Even if you start learning from the womb, what can you learn?
Even though his daughter had just explained that the wooden houses, fields, food... and even sea beasts on the uninhabited island were all solved by Xia He, Cassil still couldn't quite believe that there were such outrageous things in the world.

Seeing this, Xia He immediately brought out the story he had prepared long ago: "My name is Frederick Xia He, I come from the Grand Line, and I am a member of the 'Jiuniang Tribe'."

"Jiuzao clan?"

Casilli scratched his head again.

Although he had never been to the Grand Line, he had seen records about races in books.

He knew something about the Long-Handed Tribe, the Murloc Tribe, and the Fur Tribe.

But this drunkard...

This was the first time he had heard of it.

"That's right." Xia He nodded and began to make up stories in a childish voice: "The number of people in our tribe is extremely small, and every baby born is born with special abilities and a growth rate far exceeding that of ordinary people..."

Just like a pyramid scheme, Xia He listened carefully and found that the logic was not very rigorous, which left Casilli and others stunned.

After all, it is because he has been living in this sea area since birth, and he is isolated from the news and has limited knowledge. Otherwise, if it were anyone in the new world, after hearing the lies made up by Xia He, it would be difficult for them to be deceived.

But Cassilly and Minnian, and the sheriffs standing at their doorstep, are different...

After listening to Xia He's narration, they really showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

"I see!"

"The Drunkards? That makes a lot more sense."

"That's what I was wondering. How could such a young child have so many things? Turns out they came from the Grand Line."

Xia He:
Well, it’s really easy to cheat.

He grinned with great satisfaction.

"So... can you really cure my wife?"

Somehow, after seeing Xia He's "innocent and romantic" smile, Cassi felt that his mood became a lot better.

Maybe it was because I remembered Minnie Ann when she was little.

If his wife had not been in poor health, given how much love they had for each other, Minnie Ann would probably have already forgotten how many brothers and sisters she had.

"It should be possible, but I can't say it's 100% certain." Xia He jumped down from the stool. "Also, this disease is contagious, so from now on, I suggest that you and your wife must be isolated and treated."

"what?"

Hearing the word "infectious", the sheriffs standing at the door all subconsciously stepped back a few steps, with expressions of horror on their faces.

"An infectious disease?!"

"Is this true?" Some people even took off their clothes and covered their mouths and noses.

"how could be?"

Although Cassi was a little bit unbelievable, he immediately distanced himself from his daughter.

"If it's not an infectious disease, then how do you explain that you and your wife have the same symptoms?"

Xia He said, looking at Minian who looked very anxious at the side: "Don't stand there, aren't you good at making clothes? Go and make me some masks, in case I get tuberculosis, and then there will be no one to help your parents treat the disease."

……

Under Xia He's instructions, Minian ran to make masks.

However, the sheriffs in the town finally stayed and helped Xia He prepare for isolation.

It was not for anything else, just because they had a good relationship with Casilli. They lived nearby and often drank, fished, ate, and chatted together...

In short, there is endless room for conversation.

"You guys stay here later and let me check you. It would be bad if you are also infected with tuberculosis and run back home to infect your family." Xia He said, wearing two gloves that were nearly half the size of his hands.

The sheriffs: “.”

us……

Is it possible that it has been infected?
My body seemed to become weak at this moment.

Just as the sheriffs collapsed to the ground helplessly, Mayor Valentine of Calavis Town had already come to Minnian's house with a cane.

"infectious disease?"

After hearing the explanation, he looked at the four sheriffs slumped on the ground in surprise.

The little fat man Pat, who was in the lead, quickly moved to the corner of the house, "Be careful not to get infected by us, Mayor, cough cough cough..."

Xia He who just came out from the inner room: "?"

No, I haven't even examined you yet, and you're starting to cough?

So much drama?

Valentine, on the other hand, inexplicably said, "Could it be that Mendlin's curse... really worked?"

"Curse? What curse?"

Xia He blinked his eyes, too lazy to say anything more to this suddenly appeared old man, and said directly to the sheriffs: "Wait for someone to spit out some sputum, I will do a smear test, those who are negative can go home, if it is positive, stay and cooperate with the treatment."

Everyone: "?"

What the hell is negative and positive?
I totally...don't understand.

But since the little kids of the Drunkard Tribe said so, they followed suit and began to brew the phlegm in their throats.

……

"Cups, tableware, toothbrushes, towels, and quilts should all be prepared separately. Keep the room ventilated, but don't enter at will."

Wearing a small white mask, Xia He stood in the yard and reminded Minian of the things she needed to pay attention to.

"Also, ask your dad to cover his mouth and nose with a handkerchief when he coughs to prevent saliva from splashing out, and also ask him not to spit casually."

"As for food...get more milk and eggs, and vegetables are also fine."

He said a lot of things in a row.

Until Minian felt a little dizzy, she asked, "What about you? Aren't you going to treat my parents?"

"Of course I need treatment." Xia He flicked the mask strap on his face and walked to the door. "Stay in this room and don't walk around. I'll go get some special medicine."
