Chapter 2035 - 1488: The
"알겠사옵니다! The servant understands! What you called ’smallpox’ turns out to be ’pox sore’, ’pox rash’, ’blisters’..."The will of the King on the Mexican Plateau, after a long continuance of twenty thousand miles, finally falls upon the far north of Ezo land, transforming into the present meeting of Zuwaro and Doctor Caisan amidst the road paved with gold.
The axe of the Kingdom’s Warriors rises and falls again, and the intimidating Warrior steps back two steps, still maintaining a threatening posture. Meanwhile, Mori no Kiyoshi shudders incessantly, cursing "Shandan barbarians" countless times, and even more "stupid translator". As for Doctor Caisan, she resembles a trembling white rabbit, cautiously holding that scroll of "Great Wizard’s Prophecy", looking swiftly at the abstract drawings beside it, and then nods frantically.
"Yes! Yes! The densely spotted little figures must be ’pox sore’! The servant indeed heard that, in some places, ’pox sore’ is called ’Heavenly Pox’... This is an extremely dangerous and not uncommon child sickness! Once a child contracts it, there’s almost a fifty percent chance of death... During the time in Jisheng Hospital, Chief Medical Woman Chang De (장덕) specifically lectured on the prescription for treating ’pox sore’..."
"Honored Shandan Chieftain! She said she can cure it..."
"Really?... She can cure it?..."
"Hu Nu! Go to the ship first and bring down fifty jin of gold!..."
"Yes! Chieftain!..."
Upon hearing this, Zuwaro and Loshanda exchanged a glance, waved to the Kingdom’s Warriors surrounding them, and then instructed Hu Nu another word. Subsequently, the two High Priests looked solemnly, tightly focusing on Doctor Caisan’s delicate face. Mori no Kiyoshi, on the other hand, dared not relax, stepped up to perform the translation himself, ensuring clear communication. Well, if necessary, he also planned to fabricate a few words, for he must not inexplicably be killed by Shandan Savages here...
"Caisan! Quickly! Quickly tell this Golden Chief that you can cure pox sore... tell them the prescription for the treatment, even if you have to come up with one on the spot!..."
"I... I... the prescription for pox sore is..."
At this moment, surrounded by a group of "vicious" Tatar Barbarian Soldiers, under the gaze of all Warriors, Doctor Caisan shook and shivered, shivered and shook, barely able to stand.
Since she was six, sold by her parents into Jisheng Hospital. At sixteen, she began diagnosing nobles, serving them, abducted by Japan at twenty-two, and now she is twenty-six. Throughout, she studied medicine, practiced medicine for twenty years, served many nobles, and even seen the Korea Palace. Yet such a terrifying "grand spectacle" is still the first time she has encountered!
She widened her frightened eyes, looking ahead, in front of her are hundreds of Tatar Barbarian Soldiers in armor, armed with axes, raising spears, hoisting bows. Looking behind her, are equally hundreds of Japanese Warriors, arraigned in a spear formation, carrying swords. Neither side ahead nor behind are "good people" easy to deal with. Not to mention, those fearsome cavalrymen riding high warhorses, clad in iron armor, appearing like indomitable pagodas, looking like wicked spirits drawn from scrolls, nightmares even at night...
"Caisan! Speak quickly!"
"I... I... the prescription for pox sore is... I can’t remember!..."
"이년! Damned fool, idiot! Do you want to die?! Quickly invent one!..."
"Ah! Right! Medical books, medical books! In my medical box, there are medical books! The prescription is recorded in the medical books..."
At this, the eyes of Korea Medical Woman Caisan instantly brightened. She immediately knelt in the mud, unfastened the large wooden medical box behind her, and desperately searched inside.
A wrist pillow used during pulse diagnosis? Not it, cast it aside. A small wooden board for tongue examination? Not that, discard. A special small lantern for illumination during medical practice? Ah, it breaks easily, cannot discard, but set it aside. Along with a box of acupuncture needles, containing acupuncture needles, triangular needles, and fire needles, as well as a wooden mannequin marked with acupoints. Then, a horn gua sha board, a small piece of clean alum, some usual medicine jars and packets, a medicine pestle and mortar for grinding herbs, and even a scale for weighing herbs, known as ’dengzi’, that’s a small balance...
These medical instruments from the Korea Palace, not to mention that the Warriors of the Kingdom had never seen, even the Great Merchant Mori no Kiyoshi, coming from the East Asia medical hinterland of Japan, found some difficult to recognize.
"...?"
Zuwaro raised his eyebrows, watching the "Korea Tribe Female Shaman" pull out a pile of strange "magic artifacts" from a mysterious Shaman Box in front. Especially those bizarrely long needles, and the wooden mannequin full of dots, were obviously filled with a mysterious witchcraft aura! Beside him, Loshanda tensed again, reaching for the battle axe at his waist. If this seemingly frail "Female Shaman" dares to perform a spell of curses, he will, without hesitation, break her spell!
"신이시여! God! Medical books, where are the medical books? The two precious medical books I borrowed from Jisheng Hospital to treat the children of the Princess’s house... Ah! Found them! They’re on the very bottom!..."
Under the wolf-like gaze of the crowd, Doctor Caisan knelt on the ground, extracted two thick books while tearing up. Then, she delightfully and eagerly held up these two books, displaying them eagerly to the Shandan Nobles wielding axes, like a rabbit shaking its long ears, her eyes welling up.
"Sir! Look! Here! These two books, there are descriptions of various child diseases, along with matching treatments... Pox sore is included! It’s in here... Yes! Mainly in the first book! Master Dong wrote it most meticulously..."
