Chapter 5 Teaching
The Andis giant bear's bullying character makes it rank lower than the wild boar and mountain ox, but it also makes it more difficult to hunt. The possibility of a successful bear hunt alone is much higher than that of a group hunt, but the former
The risk factor is much higher than the latter.
The bear hunting road is covered with bones, and due to the high demand, Andis giant bear leather tendons have been in short supply. Sean has seen them several times before, but they are all finished products and are regarded as life by their owners, even if they are not cured.
Even though he lost his life due to illness, he refused to part with the family heirloom and has never been able to acquire it.
With these two pairs of top-quality leather ribs, it won't take long for Sean's effective shooting range to extend to nearly a hundred meters.
Leather bone, between cartilage and hard bone, grows around the bones, especially at the joints. In addition to enhancing the load-bearing capacity of the bones, it also has protective capabilities.
Its toughness and restorative properties are amazing. Its practical value is no worse than the first two. It is a highly effective medicinal material. By grinding its ingredients and adding several other mild herbs, it can be made into a medicine.
A medicine called bone-strengthening powder.
Taking it orally has a miraculous healing effect on fractures and other injuries. Add boiling hot water, steam for one hour, and then use it in a bath. It is obviously helpful for bone strengthening.
The price is vastly different from the first two. There are three reasons for this.
First, the output is relatively large, especially for large hooffoots, such as the four-horned mountain ox, which can pick out twenty or thirty kilograms of this stuff.
Although the output of a single bear is not higher than that of the Andis giant bear, the number of the former is only tens of thousands of times that of the latter. It is a very rare thing for the Andis mountain people to hunt the Andis giant bear.
The four-cornered and high-backed mountain oxen are commonplace, and when accumulated, the number becomes relatively large.
Secondly, the taste of this kind of food is very bad. After it is roasted, it tastes like wood residue. Unless there is a famine, the Andis mountain people rarely use this stuff to satisfy their hunger. Most of them are used to boil glue or feed their dogs.
Regarding this point, Sean has reservations. It is not so much that the taste is bad, but that the Andis mountain people will not eat it. If this thing is paired with condiments and simmered with cow hooves or cow heads for a day and night, it will
It will melt into gelatin, pick out the bones, and after cooling, it will be a chewy gelatinous meat that tastes just as good as aspic.
Even in midsummer, it can be stored for half a month, and its nutritional value is naturally very high. It is very suitable for teenagers who are growing bones. It is a must-have dish on Sean's dining table.
The third reason is that its efficacy and value are rarely known. The reason why Sean likes to call this world a quasi-medieval world is because many places in this world are similar to the previous life in the European Middle Ages, including the extremely backward medical environment.
on the one hand.
Many people regard diseases as tests and wills of gods, and would rather seek help from gods than seek medical advice. In most places, witch doctors do not distinguish between families. Having said that, for those who regard bloodletting as a conventional treatment and animal excrement as a way to stop bleeding,
Priests and wizards who want good medicine might as well choose to be safer by asking God for help.
In order not to be killed by those quack doctors, Sean started to learn to walk again, using the medical knowledge from his previous life, Chinese herbal remedies and the alchemy taught by his mother to explore the art.
As the saying goes, a long-term illness makes a doctor. In his previous life, Sean lingered on the bed for five or six years. When conventional medical methods failed, he could only embark on the path of unconventional treatment.
God also prayed, Buddha also worshiped, and he did not know how many folk remedies of traditional Chinese medicine that claimed to be able to create miracles. In desperate situations, human beings always burst out with unimaginable potential. In just five years, he read through it.
All the famous books on Chinese medicine, hundreds of folk remedies tried.
Now that I think about it, my original behavior was so stupid. No matter how powerful the wisdom of the ancients was, they would never have been able to predict the medical problems that would arise hundreds or even thousands of years later.
What's more, as the environment changes, people change and medicines change. The so-called miracles are often caused by a blind cat encountering a dead mouse. It is normal to be unable to catch a mouse. Sean did not catch his own one until he died.
Rat - if he could be caught, he wouldn't be here.
The medical miracle did not appear, but Sean encountered an even bigger miracle, a subject that everyone at home and abroad wanted to prove, but there has been no substantial evidence - the soul.
At least that's how Sean defined the incredible thing that happened to him, but if he was really asked to describe what a soul looks like, he couldn't tell.
Because he had neither seen a ray of white light falling from the sky, nor had he experienced bizarre and illusory scenes, nor had he seen the sky full of gods and Buddhas. It was as if he had slept for a long, long time, and when he opened his eyes again, everything had turned upside down.
The similarity between the two worlds allows Sean's theoretical knowledge from his previous life to still be of use. With the supplement of various classics in this world and the alchemy taught by his mother, and focusing on practice, over more than ten years, Sean has formed
A set of specious medical methods of his own. If in his previous life, Sean had dared to use this method to practice medicine, he would have been arrested and thrown into prison before long, and would have been known as a murderous doctor.
But in this world, it cannot be described as a simple miracle doctor. Bone-strengthening powder is just one of the experimental products that combines the theory of traditional Chinese medicine with the sorcerer's alchemy and herbal medicine.
In this world, I don’t know whether it’s because humans haven’t started abusing various medicines yet, the body’s resistance to medicines is poor, or the medical effects of herbal medicines are really much stronger than those in previous lives. Although they can’t keep up with the technology to purify medicines, they can make some people feel better.
Strong people can easily feel the effects of the medicine.
Most importantly, Sean had ample opportunity to experiment with a variety of formulas and potions.
The so-called traditional Chinese medicine is largely empirical, and theoretical knowledge is far less important than experience.
The process of practicing medicine is the process of testing medicine. Once a certain Chinese medicine is discovered that has a special effect on a certain disease, the doctor will soon be praised as a miracle doctor.
If it is not discovered, this Chinese medicine doctor will be at best a quack doctor who treats minor illnesses and disasters throughout his life.
This is also the reason why in previous lives, Chinese medicine became more and more popular as they got older. They were more likely to have effective folk remedies discovered during years of practicing medicine.
There are still a handful of doctors like this, and most of them are old liars who claim to be old Chinese medicine doctors.
The reason why miracles are called miracles is because they are rare. If there are too many, it is a regular treatment and no one will think it is rare.
Sean's current weird butchering method is a legacy of his habit of using prey as anatomical experiments. Understanding the texture and structure will not only help him learn medical skills on his own, but will also be of great benefit to his personal practice.
"Don, come over and take a look, you found something good." Marshall shouted in surprise.
"What? Bear yellow? Good thing, such a big bear yellow is really rare. With this thing, the potency of the medicine we prepare this time will be increased by 30%. However, the auxiliary medicine we prepared this time is to strengthen muscles and bones, which is different from it.
It’s not completely matched, it’s a bit of a waste of natural resources, forget it, let’s keep it for now, and wait to collect some auxiliary medicines that match the medicinal properties of snake venom and mulberry flowers, and prepare it into Xionghuang ointment. Whether it is applied externally or taken internally, it has a miraculous effect on detoxification.” It’s like this.
Sean was also very happy about the unexpected gain.
This thing is rare. Although it has similar properties to bezoar, its efficacy is significantly different. Bezoar has a warm temperament and takes effect slowly. It can be used to deal with chronic poisoning. If you encounter severe poisoning, it will not take effect before it takes effect.
Deadly.
Xionghuang has a strong temperament and is basically effective on the spot. Although the side effects are greater than that of bezoar, who cares about it as a life-saving medicine at critical times.
"It's time to eat."
For those who are still growing up, this word is their favorite word to hear.
In fact, as early as when the pot was steaming, their thoughts were not on Sean's side. Andis giant bear meat was not considered high-quality meat. The meat was too old. Even after special treatment, it still tasted a bit different.
It has a strong smell, but when paired with wild onions, wild garlic, and wild vegetables, the aroma of stewed vegetables is nothing to say.
It's a bit exaggerated to say that the fragrance spreads ten miles away, but it's still dozens of meters away. If Sean hadn't forbidden them from eating non-ripe food, they would have been unable to hold back their chopsticks.
"Let's eat!" Sean did not continue to embarrass these young men who had been tempted to the point of greed.
"Long live Sean."
"Long live Don!"
The young boy who was liberated cheered, picked up his rice bowl and chopsticks, and rushed forward, as if in a battle.
"You spoil them too much." Marshall was a little dissatisfied with Sean's indulgence. "This will make them dependent."
"It's not a bad thing to leave some good memories while you're young. At least it will become the motivation to go further in the future. They are already independent enough." Sean sighed sincerely.
In the previous life, such a big child acted like a spoiled child in the arms of their elders. They were the little emperors of the family. They had to open their mouths when they had clothes to eat, and their limbs were not diligent and they could not distinguish between grains and grains. It was not like they had to learn from wild dogs since they were still young.
Taking food from his hands, he learned all kinds of tricks of deception and abduction, and struggled to survive.
They were most lucky to meet Sean. Not only did they have food to eat, but they also had things to learn, and there were many more orphans and abandoned babies like them, lingering like little mice before disappearing silently into the mountains.
They left as silently as they came.
Suffering is the catalyst for people to mature prematurely. Even Marshall is only fourteen years old this year, but his steady and methodical way of doing things puts even the young man who was thirty years younger than him in his previous life to shame.
Not counting Sean, he is a young man with an adult soul in his body. In two lifetimes, he can be Marshall's grandfather. With his unique identity, when he was a baby, adults no longer treated children the same way.
Look at him with eyes.
