Rise of Rurik

Chapter 82: Herbs

Having said that, he accompanied the leather jacket on him, and ordered Rurik to spread out the deerskin. He put the **** the deerskin, then rolled it up and wrapped the girl firmly.

   Lumia, she remained confused the whole time, seeing the wicked man could not help but wrap herself up, and also picked herself up, still saying something incomprehensible.

   "Am I going to die? It's uncomfortable..." Lumia half-opened her eyes, and she saw the face of the little boy Rurik in the corner of her eyes.

   "Lumia, you, don't be afraid. Grandma the priest will save you, we will go now. My father takes you away, and he won't hurt you..."

  Lurik spoke very slowly, almost saying words by word. Although Lumia was confused, she still understood completely.

help me? Are you really saving me?

   An absurd feeling floated in her heart.

   This wicked man who killed his parents was actually held by him, and he had to be rescued.

   She slowly closed her eyes and planned to think of nothing. She never thought that she would be pinched by the little hand stretched out by Rurik again, but she didn't plan to let herself rest.

   "Lumia, don't sleep, keep your eyes open, you must not sleep, sleep, you will die..."

   The behavior of the father and son made Niya very embarrassed. She shouted: "You two, at least leave after eating. The servant will not die because of you for a while at night."

   "No mom!" Rurik replied casually, "It's still important to save people."

   The wooden door was closed, and a tall figure was holding a lump of deerskin and ran towards the long house of the priest. Behind him is another small figure closely following the footprints of the predecessor.

  Rosburg has awakened, but few people are willing to stay outdoors in the cold.

   The priests also regained consciousness. They were engaged in daily work. In the early morning, they cooked the mixture of seal oil and deer oil as usual. Only the high priest Velia, she wanted to rest for a while, and waited until the studious Rurik came with his servant, and then she got up again.

   As a result, Bona awakened her in a panic.

   "What's the matter? It's still early."

   "Priest, here they are."

   "Is it Rurik?"

   "And the leader. Something happened, Rurik's servant is sick, very sick, you help them quickly."

   "It's Lumia?!"

   Lumia, although she is a foreigner, she is quite eager to learn, and she behaves very obediently on weekdays. After ten days of contact with Veria, she became more and more fond of such a girl, so it is very necessary to educate her to be wise and loyal to Rurik.

   That is a very good seedling. It was fine when I left yesterday morning. Why did I get sick today?

   After a while, Veria walked out of her curtain on crutches, and asked in an old voice: "What the **** is going on."

From the corner of her eyes she glanced at the girl Lumia who was lying flat beside a bonfire. Villia's aging eyes understood clearly. The girl was very haggard in front of her. Just as the reporter said, the child was sick. , Very sick.

  Villa walked over quickly, Otto kept muttering, she squatted down with a sullen face, and her old hand stroked the girl's forehead, and she understood it all at once.

   "Oops, she has a fever, it's very dangerous."

   "Is it very serious?!" Otto asked casually.

   "Of course! And..."

  Villa prides itself as a loyal servant of Odin. In countless dreams, she dreamed of being promoted to the Valkyrie after her death.

  Dreamland is like real, which made her often start to be confused about what is reality and what is illusion.

   She subconsciously felt that Lumia was not as simple as being ill. After a simple examination, Veria found that the girl was in the dangerous stage of launching her body, and she was really sick.

   Later generations of medicine have concluded that the underlying pathogenic mechanism of any fever or cold is caused by the weakened body and the inability of the immune system to resist viruses that attack the human body at any time.

   But now, so-called medicine and witchcraft are almost scarce. Roman medicine is inherited from Greece, and there are many metaphysical elements here.

   When it comes to the Baltic Sea area in the north, it is really witchcraft. The priest also had a lot of time to recite mantras or pray to prepare potions.

  Villa stared at Otto: "I understand, this is actually part of the test."

   "Huh?" Not only Otto was taken aback, but also Rurik.

"Odin is testing her. Because this wooden house already has a sacred meaning, she has lived in this wooden house for ten days. She was tested by Odin when she worked a day outside yesterday. My leader, ice and snow is Odin's weapon. We are blessed by Odin, so we are not afraid of ice and snow. But this girl, he is an outsider. Odin is testing her, so he is suffering from the hot disease. If she holds on, it means Odin admits that she is ours."

   Otto thinks it makes a lot of sense, and of course Rurik takes this as a joke.

Although    is a ridiculous explanation, there is logic in it, isn’t it?

   and Lurik keenly discovered that Veria was really saying something nice to himself!

   Fever has become the "final test of joining". If Lumia survives this test, who would dare to question her as an outsider? At least the mother's natural rejection of her will end!

  Villa continued to squat next to the girl, thinking about how to cure her disease.

   Really expect the girl to win the "Odin's test" by herself?

   That would be ridiculous.

   If people attribute all the results to God's obsession, life will not be able to continue, so people just sit still and meditate on the so-called obsession.

   Just like the situation that Lumia is encountering, Veria believes that Odin will let the girl's life go. The girl just lay down without any care, and the result must be a dead end.

   She must be treated, the most important thing now is to lower the fever.

   Odin's complexion showed a trace of embarrassment. He knew that if this servant died of illness, his son would be very sad.

   He also squatted down and asked Veria who was under examination: "High priest, her condition...is okay."

"very dangerous."

   "Then can she be cured?"

   "I will try my best, I hope she can be favored. My leader..."

   "In."

"You avoid it now, and you will visit again when I say I can. This may be a relatively long process. Maybe you can go back home to sit still, or chat with other people. Especially with the parents of many children, warn them. Don’t let your children wander around at will."

   "Okay." Otto nodded without asking more.

   The priest will start healing, such as pouring some herbal soup for the girl. In the past, people who fell ill in the tribe either relied on their physical strength to recover, or they went to the priest to take medicine.

  Pharmaceuticals are always very bitter, and patients don’t know much about the effect.

   Because many people died in the end even after drinking the medicated soup.

   No one will blame the priest's medicine, everyone simply thinks that this is one's destiny. The tragic fate has arrived, and no amount of medicine can save it.

   Otto left, only Ruriek was sitting cross-legged beside Lumia nervously.

  Lurik is by no means a spectator like an outsider. Soon Veria arranged a job for a group of people, including him.

   "Ruriek, my child..."

"I'm here."

   "Do you like your servant?"

   "Of course! She is my friend."

"Okay! My child, your words remind me a lot. A long, long time ago, your parents were also very good friends. However, I think you still prefer to treat her as a lifelong friend. Now you go outside the house. ."

   "Huh?" Rurik looked up in surprise, "Should I avoid it too?"

   "You have to enter the house. You go outside and rub some snow **** and come in. Listen, your friend is hot all over, and she can get hot everywhere except her head."

  Lurik understood Veria's meaning in an instant.

   The so-called physical measures to reduce fever can surely be summed up by all ethnic groups in their long-term lives. Excessive fever, excessive heat will cause irreversible damage to brain cells, long-term high fever brain will be burned, especially in this poor ancient times, high fever brought brain damage to the result of death, it is really too common.

   He carried a wooden box to the door, and began to form a huge snow ball.

   When he came back again, all Lumia's cold-proof leather clothes were removed, and only the linen clothes were worn on her body.

   The girl lay down by the campfire with her eyes closed, and Veria looked like a kind grandmother. She wiped her arms and face with a linen cloth dipped in water, including her neck. The purpose is obvious, that is, water cooling to cool down.

   At the same time, the indoor air began to fill with a strange smell, and the familiar strangeness immediately occupied Rurik's head.

How is this going? Why does it feel like a Chinese medicine shop?

Do not! They are boiling herbs, and the priestesses are boiling herbs.

   Recalling the experience of several years, Rurik can't remember the experience of drinking medicine. In fact, he didn't have it either. Thanks to this young but strong body, it was really serious and no minor illnesses in seven years. It seems that this body is invincible.

   What he didn't know was that in just seven years, nearly 30 boys under the age of three died due to various diseases.

  As for the girls of the tribe, many of them were abandoned by their parents to the woods in the foothills at birth because they could not become sea warriors.

  Lurik came with the snow ball in her arms, Vella grabbed one and put it in her hand, she squeezed the shape again, and then kept rubbing him on the girl's forehead.

   Lumia's braids have been stretched out, and this is the first time Rurik has seen her shawl with long hair.

   Not to mention, she looks really attractive despite her young age. Her eyes were not as deep as her own, her face was flatter than the rest of the tribe, and her chin was relatively flat and her cheeks were plump. In addition, her hair is a bit more orange, and her appearance is obviously different from the rest of the tribe.

   Maintaining such a face, her face when she grows up must also be lovable. Even after this catastrophe, the whole person looks very haggard.

   The melting snow wet her hair, and as her mind cooled, Lumia's sanity recovered.

In    tribe, basically only priests will take the initiative to collect medicine, and only these women are the best at distinguishing those that are weeds and those useful. Some herbs collected in the warm season are dried, and they are stored for use in their current conditions.

   The dried herbs have been boiled, and the liquid in the wooden bowl is brown.

  Villa, holding the wooden bowl, ordered: "Ruriek, you can help her up and don't let her sway."

"Ok."

   was supported by Lurik, Lumia sat up in a daze, and then she was stuffed with a wooden spoon in her mouth. The bitter feeling immediately gave her a different feeling, and her groggy head became clearer.

   She is not stupid, knowing that she is suffering from a serious illness, and the priest in front of her is trying to save her life with herbs.

   There is nothing wrong with drinking herbal soup to cure diseases. Even the deer-raising clan, the clan elders know how to make some medicine.

  The medicinal soup couldn't help but feel bitter and spicy. Even so, Lumia suppressed her stomach upset and drank it forcibly.

   She was laid flat again, covered with animal skins. A ball of linen cloth was pressed on her forehead, and inside it was a ball of snow, and cold blood was overflowing from the gap.

  Because of psychological effects, Lumia only lay down, feeling that she was quite comfortable, and closed her eyes and continued to rest.

   Are herbal medicines really effective? Now that Lumia continued to rest, Rurik ran into the iron pot and guessed the name of the herb. It suddenly saw some very familiar floating things, that was an onion!

   There are some who don’t know the leaves from the grass, which makes people very curious.

   He drew near to the priest and asked, "Grandma, those herbs did you give her? It really works."

   "It should be effective." Then, Veria listed many strange nouns.

   Then, what is cooked in the iron pot?

   In addition to the chopped onions that Rurik saw, there are sage, plantain, and even thyme and rosemary.

   These plants are widely distributed in Europe, even in northern Europe where the winter is long, they can suddenly emerge during the warm period. They were originally used as medicinal materials. Some of them have special odors. In Europe, a world where spices have been lacking for a long time, these kinds of herbs with strange aromas are simply used as food additives.

   But they are indeed medicinal materials that can treat some diseases, such as colds and fever.

   But Veria didn't know the clear way of using these herbs, she also learned from the predecessors that those plants can be used as medicine. U U Reading www.uukanshu.com

  Villa tried her best to be calm, but in fact she was a little panicked. The various herbs stored in the priest’s long house are mixed, and there are at least one or two of them that can help with fever.

  Look at Lumia's haggard appearance, her current dilemma can actually be alleviated with just a needle of cephalosporin.

   This is the era more than a thousand years ago! Rurik couldn't understand the strange names of herbs in Gnostic language.

   Let’s talk about any common plants to treat colds and fevers. The first thing Rurik thought of was chrysanthemum and dandelion. According to the ancient medical theory of the East, fever is a manifestation of great fever, and eating some bitter cold herbs can eliminate the harm of great fever. Chrysanthemums and dandelions, the new warm season really needs to be watched and picked.

   Right next to Lumia, who was sleeping peacefully in a cloud of snow above her head, Rurik described two kinds of florets to the priest Vilia.

   At first, Liu Rick didn't understand how chrysanthemum and dandelion were in Norse. After a laborious verbal description, Villia responded successfully.

   "I know those two kinds of flowers, do they have any use? Maybe you are planning to make a wreath headdress for your servant?" Veria asked kindly.

   "No! Maybe they are good herbs."

   "Really? Are you sure?"

"I..." Rurik hesitated, but still insisted: "I'm sure, that is a very good medicinal material. If we collect more in summer and dry it, use them to boil the medicine, it will cure the lotion quickly. Mia’s disease"
