Rebirth from Conan

Chapter 211: It tastes pretty good

He has a square face and some stubble on his chin. He is about 2.20 meters tall and has a strong physique. He should weigh around 250 kilograms.

The middle-aged man's name is Kedemo, and he is the chief of this mountain village on Roccadilli Island.

He became the village chief three years ago, and the previous village chief was his late father.

As for the woman who had been following him just now, she was his wife, Cradona.

She is 35 years old this year and gave birth to a daughter with Kedemo eight years ago.

The couple has been in love as always, and both of them are skilled in martial arts, always leading the way in protecting the safety of the village.

But the two had been worried for many years.

That is... the medical level in their village is really limited. Many villagers can only lie down and leave their fate to God after falling ill.

If the illness is not serious, it will heal on its own in a few days.

On the contrary, if the situation is serious, there will be no way out but death.

Therefore, everyone is extra careful, fearing that they might get sick one day and be separated from their families forever.

But it's fine now.

A doctor came to the village, and he seemed to be a very skilled doctor. If she could stay here forever...

Wouldn’t the people in the village never be afraid of getting sick?

Thinking of this, Cladona leaned close to her husband's ear and discussed the "strategy" with him.

……

"Is there really a doctor in the village?"

"It is said that the village chief's daughter was cured in just a few strokes."

"seriously?"

On the village roads, villagers gathered together, chattering and discussing.

This is how things are in small places, with only about 60 households in total and less than 200 people. It is natural that news spreads quickly.

"Where's the doctor then?"

"Yes, where is the doctor? Can he help me check my knee? My knee hurts more and more. I can hardly get out of bed these days." An auntie rubbed her knee gently and said with a painful face.

"And me, and me. I have a terrible headache and haven't had a good night's sleep in weeks..."

The villagers came forward one after another and told about their own illnesses.

Seeing this, the village chief Kedemo, who was blocked at the door of his house, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Quiet, quiet! Doctor Minian just treated my daughter and needs to rest. Let's go first."

"That's right, don't let Dr. Minnian get tired." Cladona echoed.

However, the villagers grasped the key point of the words.

"Is the doctor's name Minnian?"

"It sounds like a woman's name."

"Dr. Minian, please save us, please!"

They continued to shout into the house.

Kedemo tried to stop it with great frustration.

However, before he could speak again, Minnie Ann had already walked out of the house holding Xia He.

"Everyone, don't worry, I will definitely do my best to treat you one by one," she said.

"Is this Dr. Minian?" "She looks so young..."

The villagers cast curious glances at Minian.

But Minian continued, "But as a condition, every time I see you, you need to give me a certain amount of compensation."

"reward?"

The villagers looked at each other when they heard these two words.

At the same time, Xia He, who was held in Minian's arms, also grinned, revealing an "evil" smile that was not something a child should have.

……

What is the reward?
It's definitely not about money.

After all, it’s such a small mountain village, and these villagers probably don’t have much Bailey on them.

"Put everything here." Xia Hechong instructed the four sheriffs.

After saying this, several people took the pots and pans, bed sheets, quilts and other daily necessities from each household and threw them all on the floor of the house.

Well, this is the "reward" that Xia He asked Minian to talk about just now.

Food, drinks, and medicines were basically sufficient on the pirate ship they had robbed. What they needed right now were really just these daily necessities.

It is worth mentioning that they saw nearly twenty patients in total from noon to dark. Every time they entered someone's home, Xia He, who was held in Minnian's arms, would squeeze his throat and use his voice changing ability to imitate Minnian's voice to "prescribe the right medicine" on her behalf.

It really feels like Conan helping Uncle Maori solve a case.

"Make the bed first. Oh, and get some food ready and send it to her parents in the inner room. Remember to wear a mask when delivering the food to avoid getting infected." Xia He looked at the others and said.

As he spoke, he picked out two extra bowls, chopsticks and plates and handed them to Minnie Ann.

Minnie Ann reached out to take it, put the washed fruit on the plate, then put on a mask and walked into the inner room.

Seeing this, Xia He didn't say much. He just picked up a piece of dried sea beast meat and put it in his mouth. Then he took a box containing a large number of glassware and went out to the back of the house.

He first used the skill of [Turning Waste into Trees] to transform the booger that was left in his nostrils and that he had deliberately not dug out today into a wooden table. Then he placed the glassware on the table one by one and used his talent of [Night Vision] to start doing chemical experiments on the pitch-black lawn.

He dissolved the isonicotinic acid that he had made earlier on Karavis Island in a hydrazine hydrate solution, then started a bonfire on the spot and heated the mixture to 80 degrees for a preliminary reaction.

Then, after the reaction started, the temperature was further raised to around 130 degrees and kept constant, allowing it to react for a full three hours.

After the reaction is completed, add half of the mother liquor to dilute it, and add activated carbon to remove the pigment in the solution.

The mixture was then filtered and the solution was cooled for crystallization, thereby obtaining the first batch of crude isoniazid.

"Now we just need to perform 'recrystallization' again, remove impurities, and dry it to get the finished product."

He muttered, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

But at some point, Pat, who was resting in the house, suddenly came up behind him and asked with a smile, "Xia He, aren't you going to sleep yet?"

"I'll go to bed after I finish the last steps." Xia He replied.

"You are working on some 'antidote' for tuberculosis, right? Minnian and her family are so lucky to have met you." Pat sighed.

"What? Are you thinking about your ex-girlfriend again?" Seeing that Pat seemed to have entered the EMO state, Xia He laughed and joked while doing the experiment.

"Yeah." Pat nodded.

And at the moment when he sighed, Xia He suddenly handed him a cigarette, "Go ahead, I made this with some extra tobacco. Well, I've tried one just now, it tastes pretty good."

Pat: “?”
