"Traditional Chinese medicine!?Witchcraft? No, thank you." When he heard that it was a Chinese medicine drug, Tan Ni immediately shook his head and showed serious distrust. He has been in China for quite some time. Naturally, he has heard of the so-called drugs in Chinese medicine - lizards, rat tails, various insects... and even the dust on the head of the widow's bed... He could not imagine what the difference between these things made from the witch's black magic in the novel.

"Don't you draw a conclusion so quickly?" Roger smiled awkwardly. He originally wanted to add a sense of mystery, but he forgot that only Chinese people are good at "secret recipes passed down from ancestors". Westerners are superstitious about "the latest scientific research results", but they backfired. Although both "secret recipes passed down from ancestors" and "the latest scientific research results" are basically deceptive things.

"I have used this drug, it is indeed easy to use and it works very quickly," said Roger. "Although it may be a bit too much, but to be honest, there may not be any effective treatment measures in the United States for severely infected patients. What's more, patients have to go through a long sea trip. Just this long voyage may cost the patient's life, so why not let me give it a try?"

Tanni was confused for a long time and finally asked, "Can you confirm the effect of that drug? Can you really treat severely infected patients?"

"As long as the lady is not allergic to the drug, it will take a little test to confirm this."

Seeing Tanny still hesitating, Roger continued: "I can guarantee that this drug is effective. In fact, I have tried it myself! Let's take a step back, even if it cannot completely cure the lady, it can at least relieve the condition. Isn't it better for you to send her back to China? Moreover, this drug is different from traditional Chinese medicine. It is an injection made by modern Western medicine based on traditional Chinese medicine, and it is not the same concept as the witchcraft you mentioned."

Tanni sighed and said, "Okay, okay, I'll bet. Anyway, I know that if I send her back to the United States, there is only a dead end. The so-called better treatment is just a comfort. If that's the case, it's better to bet on your Chinese witchcraft."

Just as Roger smiled happily, Tanny spoke again.

"But if you fail, I swear, you will die miserably! No matter what the price you pay!" As he said, Tanny's face was twisted and unrecognizable.

"Don't worry, you don't have the chance to pay any price, because I won't fail at all! However, if the treatment is successful, I hope you can help me do something, of course, it won't be something that makes you embarrassed. For you, it's just a trivial matter, such as helping me register a company, or fixing the harassment of boring officials."

"If it's just like this, there's no problem at all, but the premise is that you must be able to cure my wife, please don't forget this."

Under Tanny's guidance, Roger soon saw his wife - a scratched leg. Although it was not too serious, it was said to have been cut by rusty horn iron, so it quickly melted pus. The current situation is already quite serious.

Since the condition has been confirmed, there is nothing to delay. Roger immediately took out penicillin to prepare for work. Although the pharmacy major was not involved in diagnosis and nursing content, he had done animal experiments at least, but skin tests and injections were not difficult for Roger. It was done in just a few minutes.

Originally, Roger wanted to continue chatting with Tanni and learn more about the international situation in 1924, but obviously Tanni's energy had already been put on his wife at this time, so Roger had to leave and go back to the hotel with tactfulness.

...

The next morning, before dawn, Roger was awakened by a knock on the door that had passed tightly. He rubbed his sleepy eyes helplessly, turned over and got up.

"Who? At this time, knocking on the door will make people sleep. It's only 5 o'clock!"

As soon as Roger opened the door, a man in black suddenly entered the room. The owner of the shop outside the door nodded and bowed, with a look of restraint.

"We don't know what the foreigner said, but he kept calling your name, so we brought him. I'm so embarrassed to disturb the guest."

Turning his head to look at the person coming in, Roger asked strangely: "Consul Tanni, why did you come here so early to come to me? Even if you have something to do, can you send someone to come here? Do you need to come here in person?"

Tanni smiled embarrassedly and said, "I originally wanted to send someone, but I really couldn't stand the torture of waiting. I was thinking about you all the time, and I thought that even if I saw you one second earlier, it would be good, so I came here by myself."

Hearing Tanny's words, Roger was stunned at first, then he had goose bumps all over the floor and turned around and was about to run. However, two American soldiers were standing guard in the corridor, obviously they could not escape, so Roger could only turn back and go back to the house and head straight to the window.

"Mr. Roger, why are you running away?? I didn't bring someone to catch you. Your medicine is very effective."

"I know!"

"Then why do you still run away!?"

"Because I'm not interested in men! I don't like other men who are interested in me!"

"Well, so do I, so, can you calm down and leave the window?"

"Stop! Don't get closer. If you dare to step closer, I will jump down! I swear, I will jump!"

"Well, I believe you, this is just the first floor, and there is no danger of jumping down, but I just wanted to remind you that when I came, I found a few mad dogs wandering in the alley outside your window. I hope that you will not arouse their hostility if you jump out rashly."

...

Although Roger finally accepted Tanni's apology and went to the consulate with him, he firmly refused Tanni's invitation to share the same car. He booked a rickshaw and followed the carriage, and drove slowly towards the consulate.

After checking Mrs. Tanny's recovery, Roger found that for people in 1924, the treatment effect of antibiotics was better than imagined. Even though he had known for a long time that the bacteria in this era of antibiotics were not highly used, he did not expect that just a small injection of penicillin could make the condition of a severely infected patient improve rapidly. In just one injection and half a day, Mrs. Tanny had already recovered most of the time.

For later generations, where super bacteria that are often suffering from serious diseases and even super bacteria that are completely ineffective in antibiotics have appeared, the bacteria in this era are still too delicate.

Because the second injection was in the afternoon and neither of them had a meal, in order to express their apology for provoking disturbance in the morning, Tanny specially invited Roger to have breakfast together.
