System: I let you have children, not fight for hegemony

Chapter 62 Water Gu?

"Zhaizhu!"

Yaduo's father, Baya, the leader of the village in the west of Jianxi, heard that Yaduo and his tribe were making trouble at the gate of the village and hurriedly came to check.

Baya's sharp eyes scanned the circle of Qin people, and after pausing for a moment on the swords of Heidou and others, he said to the tribesmen: "Let the guests who come from afar enter the village."

"Master of the village! The great witch said that it was these Qin people who used fake salt to spread the poison!"

"Master of the village, who knows if these Qin people may have poison on them?"

Some clever villagers took advantage of the quarrel and secretly left to inform the great witch.

Baya had taken over the position of leader of the village from his father since then and had been speaking out in the village. He did not expect that he would be disobeyed by his own people regarding the Qin people's affairs.

Baya became angry: "Whoever dares to say more will get out of the village!"

The villagers blocking the path of many fish suddenly split into two parts and made way for a small path.

I saw a bronze-colored boy wearing colorful bird feathers and brown linen clothes, with deep features and a lean body, appearing at the other end of the road.

He walked slowly, with a unique rhythm, as if walking on the clouds.

"Great witch!" The village elders shouted excitedly as if they had seen their backer.

The young wizard nodded slightly: "Master of the village."

Baya's expression was very complicated, but he had to restrain his anger and nodded in return: "Great witch."

The voice of the young wizard was like a clear spring: "Master of the village, the people of Qin are cunning. King Yiqu's lesson is right before your eyes."

Baya's momentum paused, King Yiqu...

The former god of tribes established the great Yiqu State. He fought with the Qin State and did not lose. However, he was tricked by the cunning Qin people into Xianyang and fell under the hem of his beautiful skirt.

Many fish saw that the village leader would also switch sides, and immediately asked the subordinate officials to translate: "We are here to make friends with Jianxi. We don't have to enter the village, but we must clear away the stigma."

Many fish took the lead and retreated to the gate of the village: "You can carry the patient to the gate and let us see what the cause is."

The villagers were relieved to see many fish and others giving in, but no one was willing to carry out their sick relatives and friends.

"Let them return to the arms of the Vulcan and stop disturbing them."

"The Qin people cannot be trusted. What if the Qin people cheat and cast curses..."

Yaduo stood up and said loudly: "Bring my brother out!"

Baya suddenly turned around and stared directly at Yaduo.Yaduo raised her head stubbornly, like a proud peacock.

Yaduo: "Since the great witch can't save his brother, let the Qin people try."

The young wizard looked at Yaduo with a deep look in his eyes: "Yadoo, don't mess around. Do you want outsiders to laugh at you?"

Yaduo bit her lip and looked at the young wizard with aggrieved eyes as red as a rabbit.

After several struggles, Baya asked his brothers to carry his youngest son out.

The young wizard clenched his witch staff tightly, his eyes seemed to be full of storms.

Many fish calmly ordered the black dolphins to be on guard. It was obvious that there was an internal fight in the western part of the stream, with the village master and the great witch having equal power.

A thin and small figure was carried out by a big man. The village elders stayed far away from them and did not dare to get close.

When the little boy was gently placed on the big stone at the entrance of the village, many fish and others took a breath of cold air.

"Water Gu!" The black dolphin was so frightened that it lost all color and pulled many fish back a few steps.

This little boy has a huge belly, a small neck and arms, and his belly is as hard as a stone when he turns.

The huge belly stretched the belly almost transparent, as if it was about to explode.

The boy whimpered in pain. Yaduo hugged the boy distressedly and whispered comfort.

The official's expression was extremely ugly: "A person suffering from water poisoning will suffer from aversion to cold at the beginning, a slight pain in the head, pain in the eyes, insects eating the five internal organs, and extreme heat and irritation. I can't help but take it for eight or nine days, and good doctors can't cure it." Yaduo nodded repeatedly after hearing the officer's words: "This is what my brother's illness is. Please save my brother's life!"

Yaduo immediately knelt down, crying and kowtowing.

The official's face showed regret: "This disease is difficult for all doctors to cure. Although we doctors have seen water poisoning many times, we have never been able to cure it."

Many fish looked at the official in surprise. It is true that a person cannot be judged by his appearance. He turned out to be a doctor.

The kind-hearted old man saw that the child was pitiful, so he handed the basket to Yaduo: "This is a snail. Your brother loves it most. You can make another meal of snails for my brother."

Many fish saw sharply that the snails in their baskets seemed to be...

Snails!

"Stop!" Many Fish shouted, "Yadoo, please bring the backpack over and let me see it."

Although Yaduo was confused, she still took it obediently.

Many fish looked carefully and determined that this was the snail!
"Have there ever been floods in the western part of your stream?"

After listening to the official translation, Yaduo nodded and said: "We have to issue it once or twice every year. We are used to it."

"Do you often eat this snail?"

Yaduo: "I eat it occasionally, but I often go into the water to fish."

Many fish had goosebumps all over their bodies and wanted to leave here immediately: "There are insects in this snail that are invisible to the naked eye, and they can penetrate into the human body through the skin."

Ya Duo's expression changed drastically. The young wizard stepped forward, took the backpack from Ya Duo's hand, and threw it into the water from a distance.

The officer's eyes lit up and he bowed to many fish: "Ms. Jun, have you ever studied water poison?"

Many fish have not been studied, but they grew up on the banks of Dongting Lake in their previous lives, where schistosomiasis is highly prevalent. Staff from schistosomiasis control stations often go to the countryside to spread knowledge about the disease.

"Once a person comes into contact with infected water, schistosomiasis will burrow into the human body. People who are infected with the epidemic will also have schistosomiasis in their feces."

Everyone in the village looked horrified.

Baya asked in disbelief: "Do you dare to swear to God that this is true?"

Many fishes swore: "If you tell lies, thunder will strike."

The great witch asked: "Everyone in the village was exposed to the epidemic water, why did only a small number of them get the disease?"

"Because the disease usually lasts from 5 to 15 years."

Some of the villagers cried in fear, and some laughed at themselves: "Even if I don't get sick, I won't live for 15 years."

Baya went straight to the great witch: "Great witch, the situation in the village is critical. Let's put aside our grudges and get through the difficulties. Once this matter is over, I will pass the throne to Yaduo, and then I will settle the grudges with you."

The young wizard looked around, the tribesmen were panicking, and Yaduo cried heartbreakingly.

The young wizard: "Heaven is my witness, after I get through this difficult time, I will fight you in a duel."

Baya smiled in relief and said, "I'll wait."

Baya and the great witch came together in front of the many fishes. According to the etiquette of the Qin Dynasty, they knelt down and bowed their heads: "I beg you to save Jianxi's life! Jianxi is willing to have good relations with the Qin forever and will never rebel."

Many fish knelt down and returned the favor, their hearts swaying from side to side.

The epidemic of schistosomiasis was suppressed only after a nationwide effort was launched in 1955 to “eliminate schistosomiasis”.

But even in the 21st century, tens of thousands of people are still infected with schistosomiasis.

Did you lie to them, or tell the truth?
