Chapter 160: Cui Geng has an elixir
The place where Cui Geng stretched out his hand and pointed was where Mrs. Wei's tomb was.
In the past, Chen Yuanguang had cut the weeds around the tomb and cleaned up the ground.
The moonlight poured down like water, enveloping the entire Immortal Peak. Weeping willows, small pools, swimming fish and mountain rocks are all smeared with a layer of clear light.
Song Genhai looked at Cui Geng's fingers, couldn't help but be disappointed, and said deflated: "Medicine? Don't be joking, there's not even a single weed here, where is the medicine? Could it be that the herring in this pool can cure arrow wounds? ”
Cui Geng said: "Everyone has eaten fish, of course, it is useless for arrow wounds. But there is one more thing that no one has ever eaten, which should have a miraculous effect on General Chen's injuries. ”
Song Genhai said suspiciously: "There's nothing else here, could it be a willow tree?" ”
"Yes!"
Looking at the willow tree not far away, Cui Geng's eyes lit up, as if he had found some rare treasure, and said happily: "To be exact, it is willow bark." As long as he has this thing, General Chen will be able to wake up tonight! ”
This time, Cui Geng really didn't brag.
The three greatest drugs invented by mankind are aspirin, penicillin, and diazepam, each of which has saved tens of millions, if not billions, of lives.
Now let Cui Geng make penicillin, of course he can't do it. However, as long as willow bark is available, crude salicylic acid, that is, aspirin, can be made.
Chen Yuanguang is now in a coma because of a high fever, as long as he feeds aspirin, he will be able to reduce his fever immediately and wake up temporarily, which is enough to give Xu Tianzheng an explanation.
In addition, although aspirin is not antibacterial, it has anti-inflammatory effects, which greatly increases the likelihood that Chen Yuanguang will survive this hurdle.
After listening to the unfamiliar words of salicylic acid, bacteria, anti-inflammatory, and even aspirin in Cui Geng's mouth, Song Genhai was completely confused, scratched his head, and said: "My lord, I understand every word you say, why can't I understand even a piece?" This ...... Whatever, it really works? ”
"Of course, this thing has a miraculous effect!" Cui Geng said firmly: "What? Could it be that you also want to learn from Xu Tianzheng and make a bet with this official? ”
"Hehe, how can you not believe you?"
Song Genhai glanced around, lowered his voice and said: "Although I don't understand medicine, I understand that if this thing is as good as adults say, it will be a priceless treasure!" At that time, you must not be cheap Xu Tianzheng's unconscionable turtle grandsons. How to make this medicine, the adults directly explained to me. ”
Song Genhai said, his face turned pale, and he looked loyal and courageous.
duan~
"You're beautiful!"
Cui Geng rolled his eyes, gave him a shudder, and squirted: "You can pull it down, you don't know what urine nature official is yet?" That little bit of caution, cut, don't you want to learn the secret recipe of this miracle medicine and make a fortune by pointing at it? ”
was broken by a word, Song Genhai, a stinky and shameless person, was not ashamed, and said with a shy face and bared his teeth: "Humble duty and following the adult's side, there is no merit and hard work, isn't it?" It's better to cheapen me than to cheapen others. If you think about it, isn't this the reason? ”
If it is a general way to make a fortune, it is okay, but aspirin is different, it is a product of the times, in this day and age, it is a panacea that can live more than 10,000 people. Using this kind of secret recipe to make a black fortune, Cui Geng felt that it should not be. The greatest significance of aspirin should not be in making money, but in saving people.
Putting this secret recipe in the hands of a money smuggler like Song Genhai, Cui Geng was not at ease at all. Although Song Genhai has been loyal to himself all the way these days, he is still the master of the black heart in his bones, and giving him the secret recipe for aspirin will only do bad things.
After thinking about it, he rolled his eyes, changed the topic, and said, "Song Teamzheng, do you know how to water?" ”
"No, what's the matter?"
"That's it!" Cui Geng was embarrassed, and said: "This waterhole is too small and there is no boat, if you don't know how to water, the two of us can't make aspirin, it seems that you can't make this wealth, and you have no chance!" ”
"Really?"
Cui Geng said firmly: "This official is going to make aspirin in a while, how to make it, everyone can see it, can this still deceive people?" ”
"Huh?" Song Genhai was disappointed, and said with a sad face: "I can miss such a good opportunity, it seems that my Song family ancestor didn't give me a lot of virtue!" ”
Immediately, he stomped his foot violently and said hatefully: "I'm not happy, and they don't want to be happy." Go and call them all to me!" Hmph, it's Chen Yuanguang who saved him, why do you want us to help! ”
After a while, Chen Yuanguang's six generals and a number of soldiers were all called over by Song Genhai.
He straightened his chest and folded his belly, and shouted: "Listen, listen, my family has already figured out a way to treat you General Chen." However, this method requires you to go to the cold pool. If you yourself are unwilling to be faithful to the Savior, don't blame my family Cui Yushi for not saving your general, hurry up and take off your clothes. ”
Cui Geng couldn't cry or laugh, of course he wouldn't let him come nonsense, and hurriedly blocked: "You don't need to go down all, just have one who is proficient in water." Let the man go down to the bottom of the pool with a large bucket of water, and ask for the bottom layer of water. ”
In recent years, the medicine primers for Chinese medicine are all kinds of strange things, such as rootless water, rain in spring, pairs of crickets, and 20-year-old centipedes, and most people think that this requirement is very normal.
Only Xu Tianzheng rolled his eyes and said disdainfully: "Hmph, Cui Yushi is so cunning and calculating, when the time comes, your method is not effective, so you should push the water to be impure, right?" Hmph, who can guarantee that nothing else will be contaminated? Don't let us be fooled! ”
Cui Geng didn't bother to pay attention to this thorn, looked at Li Boyao, and asked, "How is it?" Is there anyone in your department who can get into the water? Whether or not General Chen can be saved, it's up to him here. Don't worry, it's okay if it's not all the last layer of water, as long as it's about the same. ”
"Yes, of course."
is related to Chen Yuanguang's life, Li Boyao can only believe it rather than believe it, and immediately arrange for someone to go into the water.
Xu Tian still wanted to say something, opened his mouth, but finally sighed, and took the initiative to ask: "Forget it, let's go into the water." The water looks shallow, but it's actually miles deep. If someone else goes down, I don't worry, who knows if the person who goes down will be cheating and cheating? ”
Of course, Cui Geng is indispensable to who goes into the water, and nodded in agreement.
After about half a cup of tea, Xu Tianzheng had already come up from the pool, standing in front of Cui Geng wet, holding a jar of water in both hands, and asked, "Cui Er... Cui Yushi, do you think this water can be used? ”
Unexpectedly, Cui Erlang put his hand in, tested the water temperature, and poured all the water in the jar.
Xu Tianzheng stopped doing it now, and said angrily: "The surname is Cui, what do you mean?" Is this a joke on me? ”
Cui Geng shook his head lightly and said, "Of course not." This medicine must be made with special heat, and only water that has just been brought out of the bottom of the pond can be used, and it must not be delayed. That's why the official wanted people to go down to the pool to get water first and see how long it would take to get the water. As for the water that will be used for medicine in a while, I'll let you get it later. ”
Seem...... Makes sense?
Xu Tianzheng snorted coldly, feeling that he had been tricked but couldn't pick out the thorns, and said stupidly: "You just play tricks, that's it!" In order to save General Chen, I depend on you. When the time comes, if your method doesn't work, let's settle the ledger again! ”
Cui Geng smiled indifferently and said, "Don't worry, there won't be that day." ”
Soon, he began to make crude salicylic acid.
The whole process is actually very simple, peel off the willow bark, first rinse it with water, then tear it into small pieces and soak it in water and boil, about half an hour later, you can fish out all the willow bark.
After removing the willow bark and dregs, continue to heat the solution.
Seeing that the water was getting less and less, Cui Geng ordered Xu Tianzheng to go into the pool again and fish up a jar of water.
After testing the temperature of the water, it was cold to the bone, Cui Geng nodded with satisfaction and poured the water into a large wooden basin.
At this time, white crystals had precipitated out in the small pot of decoction, Cui Geng quickly removed the fire and immersed the small pot in the wooden basin.
As the water temperature cools down rapidly, more and more white crystals appear, which is the famous aspirin.
According to memories from the absurd dream, the final cooling process requires an ice-water mixture. With today's conditions, Cui Geng will definitely not be able to get the ice-water mixture, so he can only settle for the next best thing and take the deepest layer of water from the pool.
The water temperature here is estimated to be about four degrees, barely enough, and it is indeed not deliberately difficult for Xu Tianzheng.
Although everyone didn't understand so many scientific principles, seeing the white crystals constantly precipitating, they all understood that the bucket of cold water that Cui Geng wanted was very knowledgeable.
What's more, how have these fighting sweaters ever seen such a miraculous phenomenon? Suddenly, his eyes were straight, and he had infinite confidence in Cui Geng.
Even Xu Tianzheng licked his lips and asked, "Cui ...... Cui Yushi, I didn't expect you to be a bit of a doorway, before, I blamed you wrongly. ”
"A bit of a doorway? There are many doorways for this official! ”
Cui Geng estimated that the amount of medicine was enough, poured the water away, leaving only the powder, poured it into a bowl, and waved his hand: "Let's go, let's go and treat General Chen." ”
When he came to the thatched house, he pried open Chen Yuanguang's teeth and poured these aspirins into him.
As soon as he finished taking the medicine, Xu Tianzheng couldn't wait to ask, "Cui Yushi, when will your magic medicine work?" Tomorrow morning? ”
The colleague next to him, Li Boyao, was there at the end of his age, and he was much more stable, and he felt that this Xu Tianzheng was really sorry for Cui Yushi when he made trouble before, especially when people didn't think that Xu would continue to give the general medicine. He scolded Xu Tianzheng angrily: "What do you know? As the saying goes, illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread, how can it be so fast? ”
"Nope." Cui Geng waved his hand and said, "This medicine is different from others, although it can't be called immediate, but it doesn't have to wait for a long time. In two hours at most, General Chen's burning will definitely be able to retreat. ”
Since the time was so short, everyone simply didn't leave, just inside the thatched house, looking at Chen Yuanguang with blank eyes.
Although everyone was mentally prepared, they never expected that in less than an hour, Chen Yuanguang was sweating. Then he slowly opened his eyes, stretched his waist, and said, "Huh~ I slept in the dark of a certain house, but I slept sweetly." Hey? Why are you all here? ”
The six generals were excited, and they all spoke up one after another, talking about what happened after Chen Yuanguang fell into a coma.
Li Boyao, who is an old man, smiled bitterly: "It's good to sleep!" General, you've been in a coma for six hours with a high fever. If there is no Cui Yushi's miracle medicine, the general is afraid that his life will not be guaranteed! This time, thanks to Cui Yushi, the general was able to retreat in time from before the ghost gate was closed! ”
