“Are these the most special herbs?” Fang Qiu asked, pointing at the strange herbs in front of him.
These herbs looked very strange. At first glance, they were like ordinary grass, but the leaves were closed like folding fans, with a crack in the middle. And the crack appeared red and blue, which was quite beautiful.
“Yes.” The old man patted Fang Qiu on the shoulder, signaling to Fang Qiu to put him down from his back. Standing on the ground, he said, “In the basket, the red herbs are called Everlasting Red, the yellow ones are called Light Yellow, and the green ones are called Lotus Heart.
“What you are looking at now is the most special in the prescription, Morning Flowers. Every morning, when the sun is shining, they look colorful with dew on them, like bright-colored flowers, so we call them Morning Flowers.”
Hearing this, Fang Qiu understood and nodded.
Then, he imdiately took out his mobile phone to read the map. He checked the longitude and latitude of this area.
By comparison, he found that the Morning Flower happened to be similar to the Desert Cistanche.
“I wonder how effective these Morning Flowers are,” Fang Qiu murmured to himself.
If the efficacy of Morning Flowers was the sa as that of Desert Cistanches, it would be a good substitute.
“Not only those in front of you, but all that you can see are Morning Flowers.” The old man raised his hand and pointed ahead.
“There are so many.” Fang Qiu nodded. Then he asked curiously, “Why are you so sure that I would fail to find them if you wouldn’t bring here?”
“Because Morning Flowers are too ordinary.” The old man shook his head. Then he added with a smile, “They look like ordinary weeds, unlike any other dicinal herb. They are so ordinary that people always ignore them.”
Fang Qiu smiled.
He had a book given by the highly-skilled doctor Mr. Yang. In terms of herbal dicine, Fang Qiu was accomplished. Even if he had never seen Morning Flowers before, as long as he looked for it heartily, he would deduce what it looked like.
However, if he helped the old patriarch, not only could he save a few lives, but also he could find these herbs more quickly and easily. Therefore, Fang Qiu was glad to do it.
Looking at the large group of Morning Flowers, Fang Qiu was also very happy.
To him, the more Morning Flowers there were, the better.
The more herbs there were, the lower the cost of treating malaria would be!
Noticing that the old man had begun to pick them, Fang Qiu did not hesitate and imdiately helped him. Soon, he collected enough Morning Flowers.
Then, Fang Qiu drove the old man back to his tribe.
However, as soon as they returned to the tribe, he heard kinds of anxious and painful voices from the tribe.
Getting off the car, Fang Qiu looked at the tribe and asked with a puzzled face, “What’s going on?”
He could do nothing since he couldn’t understand their language at all, but he could hear the panic in their voices.
“Oh no.” Hearing the urgent voices from the tribe, the old patriarch imdiately carried his basket and rushed into the tribe as soon as he got out of the car, followed by Fang Qiu.
They ca to a stone house.
Fang Qiu saw a layer of stones on the ground at the back of the room. There was a thick pile of straw on the stones, like a bed. Now a man was lying on this straw bed, tossing and turning. He was drenched with sweat and his eyes were fully bloodshot. He was in great pain.
“Malaria!” Fang Qiu was shocked.
Unexpectedly, soone in the tribe was infected with malaria.
No wonder when they were picking the herbs just now, the old man said that it would be good if malaria could be cured since there would be hope for the tribe.
Of course, the old patriarch, who had been to the outside world, knew that there was a high infection rate of malaria. But they were mbers of a tribe and would never abandon their tribesn. Therefore, even if people in the tribe were infected with malaria, he would not leave them. However, he had always been worried. He feared that the tribe would be destroyed by him because of the infection.
“It’s... it’s malaria.” The old patriarch was so nervous that he was like a deer in the headlights when he saw the attack of malaria on his tribesman. He asked, “What should I do? What should I do?”
As he spoke, he suddenly look at Fang Qiu.
“Well, you are a doctor. You can cure him of malaria.” The old patriarch imdiately looked at Fang Qiu pleadingly. He said, “Please help my tribesman. I beg you to save him and our tribe.”
As he spoke, the old patriarch was about to kneel to Fang Qiu.
“Don’t do that.” Fang Qiu hurriedly reached out to stop him. He said, “You’re right. I’m a doctor. It’s my responsibility to save people and you don’t have to beg . I will save each patient in front of .”
After that, Fang Qiu imdiately went over to the patient and checked his body.
However, since he ca here in a hurry, Fang Qiu didn’t bring Dark Plum Pills with him, and therefore, he couldn’t directly treat the patient with the dicine.
“Here’s no dicine, then...” Fang Qiu frowned and thought about it carefully, and then his eyes suddenly brightened.
“Acupuncture!”
Without any dicine, the only treatnt that Fang Qiu could think of now was acupuncture.
Although he didn’t bring silver needles with him, he had learned how to use internal Qi as needles long ago, and he could even operate on patients across their bodies. Wasn’t it simple by using internal Qi as needles?
What was more, a patient with malaria was sent to Fang Qiu in Jiangjing Chinese dicine Hospital before. At that ti, he cured the patient with acupuncture, so he was experienced in the treatnt.
After gently pressing his hand on the patient’s body and calming down the patient who was tossing and turning in pain, Fang Qiu imdiately activated his internal Qi and injected it into the patient’s body.
His internal Qi beca needles.
Mainly using the Governing ridian and the Shaoyang point, he regulated the Governing ridian and eased the Shaoyang point!
The treatnt thods were applied to the Dazhui, Taodao, Houxi, Jianshi, Yen, and Zulinqi points.
The thods of using matching acupoints were heating the Quchi point, relieving diarrhea with filiform needles, treating the abdominal mass of malaria with the Zhangn point, and inserting needles at the Pigen point. If the patient was suffering from high fever and dizziness, pressing the Twelve Well-points to bleed was needed.
With Fang Qiu’s pacification, the patient gradually quieted down.
Then, he controlled his internal Qi and began to give the needle treatnt.
In fact, the so-called thod of internal Qi needles did not turn internal Qi into needles inserted at the points. Instead, it directly stimulated the targeted acupoints with internal Qi, which could achieve the sa effect as real acupuncture.
With Fang Qiu’s treatnt, finally, the patient was in less pain. Previously, he felt very uncomfortable, violently tossing and turning. But now, with Fang Qiu’s treatnt, he could feel so special changes inside his body as if there was a flow of Qi wandering. Quickly, with this flow of Qi, the condition of the patient’s body was improved.
Soon, the treatnt was over.
“That’s it.” Fang Qiu took back his hands. He heaved a sigh of relief and said, “He’s recovered.”
Hearing this, the old patriarch walked over to them quickly with a puzzled face and patted the patient lying on the straw bed.
“Hmm?” The patient slowly opened his eyes. He reached out to touch his chest and his whole body. Then he imdiately opened his mouth and said a bunch of words that Fang Qiu didn’t understand at all. As he spoke, the patient beca extrely excited and surprised. He directly stood up and danced with joy.
Fang Qiu couldn’t understand what he ant, but the old patriarch and the others could.
As the patient’s voice was heard by others, everyone in the tribe, including the old patriarch, cheered wildly and excitedly.
“He’s cured. He’s completely cured,” the old patriarch said to Fang Qiu after turning his head excitedly. “He told that all his physical symptoms had disappeared as if he had never been ill and that he felt that he was stronger than ever before.”
Hearing this, Fang Qiu exclaid, “Aweso!”
The physiques of the primitive tribesn were much better than those of people in the city. They could stand up and jump up and down as soon as they were cured.
At this mont, “Hooray, hooray, hooray...” the others suddenly began shouting as if they were holding a ceremony.
After shouting for a while, a group of people suddenly sward around Fang Qiu and lifted him, cheering loudly.
Fang Qiu cooperated with them, smiling.
When they cheered for a long ti, the old patriarch hurriedly asked them to put Fang Qiu down and pulled him out of the room.
“Your treatnt is amazing. You cured malaria in just a few minutes. I admire you very much,” the old patriarch first praised Fang Qiu. Then he added, “If it’s possible, I beg you to teach us the thod of treating malaria so that our tribe can exist forever. We can give you whatever you want!”
Fang Qiu shook his head.
“Why?” The old patriarch imdiately beca anxious. In his view, that Fang Qiu shook his head ant that he was unwilling to teach him the treatnt thod. Therefore, he imdiately grabbed Fang Qiu’s arm and said eagerly, “We can give you anything you want, as long as you ask for it. As long as there’s sothing our tribe can do for you, we will do it. We just want you to teach us this thod!”
“It’s not that I don’t want to teach.” Fang Qiu shook his head. Then he explained, “It’s because you can’t learn it.”
“We can’t learn it?” The old patriarch was puzzled.
Without more talks, he directly reached out to grab the old patriarch’s hand and transferred a flow of internal Qi into his body. The old patriarch imdiately felt it.
“This, this...?” The old patriarch looked at Fang Qiu in shock. He asked, “Does it need cultivation?”
“Yes.” Although he didn’t know how the old patriarch knew the word “cultivation”, Fang Qiu nodded with certainty. Then he said, “This is one of our Huaxia’s cultivation thods. You can’t learn it.”
The old patriarch was very disappointed.
At first, he thought that he would be able to learn a thod that could treat malaria so that the tribe could continue existing, but he didn’t expect this result.
“However, this ti, I’m here to wipe out malaria,” Fang Qiu said. “Although you can’t learn my treatnt thod, as long as I develop a dicine that can cure malaria, you can no longer be troubled by it, right?”
“You an, those herbs?” The old patriarch asked.
“Yes.” Fang Qiu nodded. Then he said, “The hope of curing malaria is in that basket of herbs.”
“Alas!” The old patriarch let out a long sigh and said, “We’ve been using these herbs to cure malaria for a long ti, but sotis, they are ineffective. Even when they are effective, they can’t completely cure it. So... there’s not much hope.”
“How will I know whether they are effective without a try?” Fang Qiu shook his head with a smile. He found the basket full of herbs and began to produce the drugs by himself.
The old patriarch watched him curiously. But no matter how he observed, he couldn’t understand what Fang Qiu was doing.
