Chapter 144 There are parasites in the raw water
Jian Yunsang and He Nanzhou exchanged a glance, and Jian Yunsang reached out to stroke her brow. "What's wrong? What are you thinking about so intently?"

"Mommy, I caught a cold and have a fever. How come it's not a serious illness?" the little girl asked worriedly. "The children in kindergarten are so young, what will happen to them in the future?"

Jian Yunsang was taken aback, thinking that in ancient times, people who caught a cold were indeed in great danger, especially in impoverished rural areas, where they could easily lose their lives.

Judging from Chaochao's appearance, could it be...?

"Did you see anyone in Shangliu Village get sick from catching a cold?"

Chaochao shook her head, "I've never seen her, but I do know that Hu Baodun's cousin died from a cold."

Actually, she had also caught a cold. Living in such a poor environment in the Hu family, it would have been difficult not to get sick. It was only because Chaochao had a good constitution that she survived.

It was very uncomfortable when she caught a cold. When Sister Linlan saw that she was on the verge of death, she cried several times. When Granny Zhou saw that the Hu family didn't care about her much, she cursed them while boiling ginger water for her to drink.

Once, even Granny Zhou said that Chaochao might not survive. But she pulled through, and Zheng said that she was really lucky to have survived, unlike Hu Baodun's cousin who was burned to death.

Therefore, in Chaochao's mind, catching a cold is a very serious illness.

Even though she had been to the hospital a few times and seen people like Luo Yue with leg injuries, Sun Huanyu who had been stabbed, and people who had to have a cesarean section to give birth, she had never personally experienced any of these things. Moreover, they all came out unharmed. Therefore, deep down, she felt that it was not as serious as catching a cold and having a fever.

Actually, when Xiaoxiao was rescued from the human traffickers' hideout by the police, she also had a high fever.

But when Chaochao went to see her, Xiaoxiao's fever had already subsided. So all she saw was Xiaoxiao covered in injuries. Deep down, Chaochao felt that these injuries were the same as hers; if she could heal, Xiaoxiao could naturally heal too.

Hearing that three children had caught a cold, Chaochao was very worried that something might happen to them.

He Nanzhou and Jian Yunsang exchanged a glance, and He Nanzhou patted her head. “Chaochao’s concerns are not wrong, but things are different in ancient times than they are now. There are many reasons why it was easy to catch a cold in ancient times. For example, they lacked medicine, the environment was harsh, their living habits were poor, their resistance was weak, and colds could easily cause other infections, which would aggravate the condition and lead to serious consequences.”

The people under the canopy looked up, listening very attentively.

Whenever the people on the screen talked about illness, they became very focused.

For poor families, getting sick is something they can't afford, so they yearn to learn something useful from the heavens that they can use in the future.

Even for families with good financial means, having doctors to treat them doesn't guarantee they'll be alright.

In later generations, even being stabbed with a knife could be treated with a cesarean section, so there must be ways to treat other ailments as well.

The head of the Imperial Medical Academy, Zhan, held his breath, maintaining a calm facade while inwardly roaring – Yes, we lacked medicine in ancient times, then tell me, what kind of medicine was most effective?

Chaochao tilted her head, thought for a moment, and asked, "Then what should we do? Could the doctors of ancient times have made those tiny pills that we have now?"

Jian Yunsang chuckled, "There were also skilled doctors in ancient times. They would prescribe different medicines according to different symptoms. For example, there are several types of colds, such as wind-heat colds and wind-cold colds. The medicines used for these are completely different. So when you are sick, you still need to see a doctor and take the right medicine for the right symptoms. You can't just take medicine randomly. Some of the medicines we take now also existed in ancient times. For example, Xiao Chai Hu granules are based on Xiao Chai Hu Tang prepared by Dr. Zhang Zhongjing. It can be used to treat colds, flu, and other external diseases, especially symptoms such as alternating chills and fever, fullness and discomfort in the chest and ribs, bitter taste in the mouth, and dry throat. We always keep this kind of medicine in our medicine cabinet."

Xiao Chai Hu? The people under the sky silently recited it in their hearts, writing it down so they would have experience next time.

Some people who happened to have these symptoms rushed to the pharmacy to get Xiao Chai Hu (a traditional Chinese medicine).

The doctors in the pharmacy were quite helpless. Didn't they hear Miss Jian say that she needed specific prescriptions for specific symptoms?

Some doctors nodded frequently; they knew Zhang Zhongjing, the Sage of Medicine. His work, *Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases*, was a great medical masterpiece, and many doctors studied it. Unfortunately, the original text was lost. Fortunately, later generations reorganized the scattered symptoms, and Xiao Chai Hu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction) was indeed very effective in treating wind-cold.

Unexpectedly, this prescription has been passed down to later generations and has been certified by them, which means it must be a very effective prescription.

The crowd couldn't help but get excited, eager for Jian Yunsang to say more.

Chaochao listened attentively, looking determined to memorize everything. Jian Yunsang shook her head and smiled, "These are professional things. Your parents aren't doctors, so our knowledge in this area is limited. What we ordinary people can do is develop good lifestyle habits, improve our body's resistance, and try to get sick less often."

Chaochao nodded and asked, "What are your lifestyle habits?"

"For example, wash your hands before meals and after using the toilet, and don't drink unboiled water to prevent illness from entering through the mouth. Also, maintain a good mood and avoid depression..."

Before she could even finish speaking, Chaochao exclaimed, "Huh?"

"Mom, Mom, can't we drink tap water?"

Jian Yunsang said, "You can't drink unboiled water. There are parasites in unboiled water that we can't see with the naked eye. They can live in our stomachs through the water we drink, causing damage to our bodies, making us vomit, have diarrhea, get sick, and have a fever. But it's fine to boil the water. The parasites will die when the water is boiling. Just let the water cool down before drinking it."

As soon as she finished speaking, Chaochao covered her mouth in horror.

With a pitiful expression, almost on the verge of tears, she said, "What should I do? I drank so much untreated water."

It's safe to say she almost never drank hot water; the Hu family would never give her boiled water. So, wouldn't she have a lot of worms in her stomach?

What should I do? I feel nauseous every day.

Jian Yunsang was taken aback, then quickly said, "It's alright, it's alright. As soon as you came back, Mom took you to the hospital. The doctor prescribed deworming medicine, and there are no more worms in your body. Don't worry."

Chaochao finally breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good."

But then she frowned again, "Many people in Shangliu Village drink raw water, especially in the summer. Some people even drink the water directly from the river by scooping it up with their hands."

No, it should be said that many people directly draw water from the river to drink.

Wouldn't that mean everyone is eating insects?
