Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 100 The True Divine Tune (Sixth)
Coming out of Cao's mansion, Wu Liang took Dian Wei with him and headed straight out of the city.

He was going to find a kind of Artemisia annua - Artemisia annua.

Don't look at the Artemisia mentioned in "Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription" is called "Qinghao", and the special drug for treating malaria is also called "Qinghaosu", but in fact, scientific research in later generations has shown that there are two kinds of Artemisia annua and Artemisia annua. Different plants have completely different medicinal effects.

Artemisia annua actually contains artemisinin only.

Speaking of it, Cao Shuo was fateful, and the time and place where he contracted malaria were right.

Juancheng's geographical environment is more suitable for the growth of Artemisia annua, and unlike Artemisia annua, Artemisia annua is a relatively cold-resistant plant, and its flowering period is from August to November every year.

Therefore, although it is late autumn now, Artemisia annua is still not dead.

If it was later, Wu Liang might really be helpless. After all, he didn't study botany, and he really couldn't find the withered and deformed Artemisia annua from a pile of withered and yellow weeds.

Besides, even if it is found, it is not known whether the thing has the value of treating malaria.

Sure enough, not long after, Wu Liang found patches of wild Artemisia annua on the side of the road outside the city.

Whether it is present or future generations, this thing has a strong adaptability, so basically as long as it is in a suitable temperature zone, it can be seen everywhere like weeds, and it can even thrive in salinized soil.

Wu Liang carefully identified the shape of the slightly wilted Artemisia annua, and sniffed some branches and leaves.

It's spicy and smelly!

It should be right.

Wu Liang immediately drew out his dagger and cut off a large handful of Artemisia annua, and Dian Wei also pulled out a large handful as a spare.

This is Dian Wei's advantage, he never asked Wu Liang why he did what he did, as long as it was what Wu Liang said, he would carry it out without hesitation.

This is different from ordinary people's execution ability, no wonder Boss Cao likes it so much in history.

……

When we returned to Cao Mansion, it was only half an hour later.

The Cao family was waiting eagerly. When they saw Wu Liang coming in, the wives headed by Madam Ding immediately stood up with expressions of anticipation.

"Are you ready?"

The little girl Cao Ni rushed towards Wu Liang, and when she got to his side, she held her nose and retreated, wrinkled her face and said in a low voice, "Oh, it stinks, it stinks to death!"

This is natural. Artemisia annua contains a kind of volatile oil, and this smell comes from this volatile oil.

Now that the Artemisia annua that Wu Liang brought has been cut or torn off, this kind of volatile oil is naturally easier to volatilize, and this stench can be smelled from far away.

Besides, not only people don't like the smell, but even cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks don't like to eat it.

"Wu Sima, what did you bring?"

The stench soon filled the whole room, Madam Ding and other ladies couldn't help covering their noses with their hands.

"Gravegrass, taken from the weeds of random graves."

Wu Liang said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Ding immediately pulled Cao Ni behind her, frowned and said, "No wonder it smells so pungent and unlucky, so go and throw it out quickly, don't let others be contaminated with filth again!"

The rest of the ladies took a step back in unison.

This kind of thing associated with the dead, in the eyes of people in this era, is naturally an evil thing, and it cannot be touched... Besides, Wu Liang didn't say before that Cao Shuo was contaminated with the evil spirit of the chaotic graveyard before he suddenly appeared. Can't get out of bed?

"Madam doesn't know that this thing is a medium to expel the evil energy from the Second Young Master's body. As the saying goes, fighting poison with poison, I will use this thing as a primer to draw out the evil energy when I sing a divine tune for Second Young Master later."

Wu Liang continued to speak solemnly.

"In that case..."

Mrs. Ding hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Cao Shuo who was lying on the bed shivering coldly, finally endured the smell and nodded, "Then you should act quickly, don't delay Shuo'er's life."

"Yes."

Wu Liang said again, "Madam, please order someone to bring another iron basin and a bowl. In addition, there is this strong man outside the door. Please come in and help me."

"Still doing it?"

Mrs. Ding glanced at the servants next to her, and someone immediately bowed to do some work.

After a moment.

The iron basin and bowl were brought in, and Dian Wei brought a fist-sized pebble in advance, put a large handful of Artemisia annua into the iron basin, and ground it with the pebble without further ado.

Later generations used a very tedious extraction method to extract artemisinin, which not only required the assistance of chemicals, but also required dozens of procedures for layer-by-layer extraction, which Wu Liang could not do at all.

As mentioned at the end of "Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescriptions", "One hold of Artemisia annua. Soak it in two liters of water, twist it to get the juice. Take it all.", the medicinal effect may not be enough.

So Wu Liang decided to use a more direct method.

Grind Artemisia annua directly into mud, mix it with some water and wash it, then simply filter out the large impurities with a linen cloth, and then pour the filtered liquid into Cao Shuo's mouth.

Anyway, Artemisia annua is just pungent and smelly, and does not contain other toxic ingredients.

"Squeak-cheep-cheep-"

Accompanied by the sound of Dianwei grinding Artemisia annua.

"Madam, I'm ready to start. Madam, please take care of the family. Don't interrupt or ask any questions during the operation. Do everything as I said."

Wu Liang turned around and said to Mrs. Ding.

"allow."

Madam Ding naturally nodded in agreement.

"Cough cough!"

Wu Liang cleared his throat, recalled a familiar melody in his mind, and finally shook his head pretendingly, while showing the singing voice of Maiba who dominated KTV for the first time in the late Eastern Han Dynasty:
"Ahhhh—"

"Ahhhhh-"

"Ah Brother Sai, ah Sai Dao, ah Brother Sai bring a knife—"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Take an egg, take an egg, take a egg, take a knife—"

"Ah waist - ah waist -"

"Auntie swimsuit, Auntie undress, Auntie swimsuit, Auntie undress—"

"Auntie, come quickly—"

"Ahhhhhhhhh-"

"Auntie is depressing——depressing—"

"..."

This song was considered a smash hit in later generations. Although there are mixed praises and criticisms, people on the street can definitely hum a few words by simply pulling over. tone" word.

However, when the Cao family heard Wu Liang's destructive voice singing this "God Tune", they were shocked and really felt a backache.

They can be considered a big family, and they have heard some music before.

Musical instruments in the Han Dynasty are beautiful in "sorrowful sound", so the melody of the melody is mostly slow and long, sometimes with some emphasis of northern folk songs, but few of them are as fast-paced and violent as this Divine Comedy.

Especially seeing Wu Liang screaming and yelling at times, looking completely intoxicated and unable to extricate himself from it.

The Cao family was drunk.

Really drunk.

There are such shocking tunes in the world, and my ears have been aborted... Today is a good day!
