I, who only know how to play games, am regarded as a god by the whole world.

"Is there anything I can do to help?" Xu Mu stepped forward to talk.

Hippocrates did not look up at Xu Mu.

Regardless of respect or not, the main thing is that he is really busy.

"The number of patients has increased again today. If you want to receive any mercenary mission from me, then I'm sorry." Hippocrates responded while reaching out to help a patient with a yellow complexion by the wall.

"Put your tongue out."

The patient complied.

Hippocrates looked at the coating of his tongue, and then at the fundus of the patient's eyes.

Press the patient's slightly swollen leg.

"Apart from these, what other symptoms has he had these days?" he asked the patient's wife.

"He has to go to the toilet many times a day." The wife clasped her hands tightly, and said with a sad face: "My husband must have heard the complaints he said before going to bed a few days ago, and the gods must have heard them now. Punish him right?"

"It has nothing to do with the gods." Hippocrates shook his head, "Where do you live?"

"We are slaves in the lower river area of ​​Athens..." The wife's expression became more and more painful, and she was still murmuring: "It must be the punishment of the gods, this must be the punishment... My husband always He is complaining about why the gods are not more tolerant to him, and why he has to suffer so much."

"Pseuton downstream? No wonder..." Hippocrates extracted the key words, ignored his wife's nagging, and continued: "Your husband has been drinking unclean water for a long time, and now his body is full of...all... "

He paused, clenching his fist slightly to find an exact description of that kind of thing.

But for a while, I don't know how to describe it.

Through years of accumulated medical experience.

Hippocrates could feel that there was a substance that caused pathological changes in the human body.

But he couldn't know what that thing was.

Even if he secretly dissected the corpse against religion, he couldn't find any more useful information in the rotting flesh.

"Bacteria." Xu Mu replied with his arms folded and his back leaning against the wall.

Hippocrates glanced sideways at Xu Mu slightly.

Xu Mu held the broken spear in his hand to play with, and said: "The tiny harmful substances in the human body, too much will cause human disease."

Although he is not a master who is proficient in medical skills, as a modern person, Xu Mu knows the basics of medical knowledge.

"Drinking unclean water for a long time, the bacteria will erode the stomach and intestines, and eventually damage the five internal organs. The swelling of the lower limbs indicates that the kidneys have rotted."

"Then what should my husband do?" The wife quickly walked up to Xu Mu and said anxiously, "I beg you, I can't live without a husband..."

Xu Mu saw despair in her eyes.

For a woman in ancient Greece, losing her husband meant losing everything.

They have almost no financial resources.

"I am the doctor." Hippocrates emphasized dissatisfiedly at this time.

He wasn't worried that Xu Mu would steal his limelight.

Hippocrates paid little attention to these things, and being able to cure the sick was the most important thing.

It doesn't matter who does the redemption.

The main reason was that Xu Mu was dressed as a mercenary, which made Hippocrates preconceived that this kid was talking nonsense.

Mercenaries usually travel around and have seen a lot of things. But most of them are hearsay, catching rumors, and will not really study the correctness of those things.

In medicine, life and death are at stake, so we must pay special attention to rigor.

"My wife, listen to me. After taking your husband back, drink some clean water, maybe it will relieve some pain." Just as Hippocrates finished speaking, Xu Mu retorted.

"Are you sure they can afford clean water upstream?"

Things like water purification have been greatly improved in the past century with the development of science and technology and the opening of waterways.

If you move the pointer of time forward, let alone the ancient Greek period.

Even the Europeans in the Middle Ages could not afford to drink clean water, otherwise they would not have caused plagues one after another due to water problems, sweeping Europe for hundreds of years.

Moreover, this family is still the lowest level of slaves, with almost no human rights.

Don't even think about drinking pure fresh water from natural water sources upstream.

Hippocrates frowned, impatient with the young mercenary: "Of course I know, but my job is to treat patients, and I can't help them more. If he wants to survive, he must find a way to get it." Clean water. Do you have any better relief than giving them clean water from upstream?"

"Of course." Xu Mu smiled confidently.

And the solution is very simple.

In the land where I was born, even ordinary people who don't know any medical knowledge are familiar with it.

"Drink boiled water, dig a pit next to the downstream, divert water into the pit to let the dense sand filter the water quality, then filter it several times with finer cloth, and finally boil them with a big fire."

"Are you sure?" Hippocrates asked suspiciously.

He had never heard of Xu Mu's method.

I have never heard of drinking water that needs to be boiled.

Isn't it superfluous to take off your pants and fart?

"You can try it." Xu Mu didn't want to waste his words.

It is now more than two thousand years before the birth of germ theory.

If they can't understand what bacteria are, then naturally they can't understand why raw water needs to be boiled to achieve the effect of sterilization.

"I really hope that your method really works, don't let it be just hearsay and harm my patients." Hippocrates ordered his assistant to go to the nearby downstream area and filtered a pot of water according to Xu Mu's method.

Another bonfire was set up to boil the water, and two patients were interviewed while waiting for the water to be boiled.

Soon, the assistant came with a bowl of warm boiled water to cool down.

Hippocrates took the bowl suspiciously, and took a sip.

His face suddenly changed!

Doctors are not a noble profession in Athens, and Hippocrates was not qualified to drink clean water from upstream.

He could clearly feel that the downstream water that was filtered and fired had a significantly better taste!

The water quality is not only softer, but also has no obvious fishy smell!

Regardless of taste or taste, the water after firing is better than drinking it directly!

"What's the reason?" After being shocked, Hippocrates changed his gaze towards Xu Mu, and he hurriedly got up and walked in front of Xu Mu: "Sorry, forgive my arrogant attitude just now, I'm just worried about the layman's hearsay. ways to aggravate the patient's condition."

"It's okay." Xu Mufeng said lightly.

To be honest, doctors should have a more serious attitude.

Everything is mixed in so-so, and it is the patient who suffers in the end.

Besides, let alone ancient Greece.

Even with modern civilization, there is no other country in the world to drink boiled water except China.

It is normal for the doctor to become suspicious when I suddenly say "let the patient drink more hot water".

Soon, Xu Mu explained his purpose to Hippocrates.

After learning about it, Hippocrates pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head: "This warrior, it's not that I don't want to help you. Democracy and monarchy are not important to me, as long as more patients can recover. , is my duty.”

"However, you can also see the environment of the entire city of Athens now."

"All the cured patients, without exception, think that the gods have forgiven them."

"I never said that gods give diseases, so I was warned by the priests of the Temple of Apollo in Athens a few days ago."

There was a bit of sadness and helplessness in these remarks.

Obviously he just wanted to learn medicine to save people, but he found that the patients he saved didn't believe in him at all.

Xu Mu couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion that spanned thousands of years in his heart.

Studying medicine cannot save the Athenians.

"If they do this again, then refuse to treat them. Since treating them is the business of the gods, then send them to the gods." After Xu Mu finished speaking, Hippocrates was about to say something.

At this time, two more people came in from the door. It was a mother carrying her child, who choked and broke down crying as soon as she entered the door, and yelled loudly.

"Hurry up and save my child! For some reason, he can't breathe now..."

Hippocrates hastily pulled over a blanket and told the mother to lay the child flat on the ground.

After a closer inspection, Xu Mu was also looking at it.

The child's eyes were turned white, his lips were already black, and his skin was glowing with a faint lavender, which was obviously a symptom of hypoxia.

And Hippocrates reached out and rolled some bread crumbs from the child's lips.

"What were your kids doing before this?" he asked.

Mother had already lost her mind in panic, her lips were trembling.

"I just let him eat some bread. He ate it too fast, but then suddenly fell straight off the chair."

"Choking?" Hippocrates asked.

"At first I thought he was choking too, but no matter how hard I slapped him on the back, it didn't work... My gods, please spare me this poor boy, he really never did anything wrong ...I was the one who was wrong, I shouldn't have stolen this loaf of bread in the shop where I worked...I didn't expect retribution to come so soon." The mother prayed on her chest, and then turned to look at Hippocrates: "I have prayed to the gods, now save my child!"

How pious she was when she begged the gods just now, how rude she is now when she speaks to Hippocrates.

As if ordering him to do what he should do.

Just when Hippocrates was about to make some rescue measures.

A broken spear was inserted directly into the ground, not far from Hippocrates' hand.

Xu Mu folded his arms between the two, looked at his mother coldly and said, "Don't save me."

"Who are you? What are you doing?? You murderer!! You will kill my child!!" The mother became hysterical and uttered a sharp cry, which aroused the attention of the surrounding people.

"Since you think your child needs the help of the gods, then go to the gods with your child." Xu Mu said coldly, "Until your attitude changes, we will not save your child. I need help from the gods." You understand one thing, it is the doctor who saved your child, not the gods."

"You...you are blaspheming!" Mother yelled, and the surrounding people also began to criticize.

"I can't believe that there will be pagans in such a civilized city-state of Athens!"

"You don't even believe in gods anymore, do you want to rebel?"

"The gods give us life easily, and they can easily punish those who are unfaithful. Doctors are just sent by the gods to atone for sins!"

"Then go find the gods!" Xu Mu took out the dagger with a cold gaze, and quickly turned the knife in his hand skillfully. The sharp tip of the knife shone coldly in the sun, like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity: "Here , I am the rule! The doctor saves the person is the doctor's credit! If your god is so reliable, then let it come out and cure this child!"

After these words came out, the audience was even more uproarious. Everyone looked at Xu Mu in disbelief, as if he said something that made the sky fall down.

At this moment, the child lying on the ground seemed to have his last breath left. He desperately stretched out his hand to ask his mother for help, but his body had already started to twitch, and the whites of his eyes were showing more and more.

Although the mother does not respect the profession of doctors, she cherishes her children very much.

Seeing the child in such a miserable state, she painfully made a choice in her heart, and in the end the balance still fell to the child, and said with tears streaming down her face.

"I...will admit...doctors' actions in treating patients...has nothing to do with gods...!"

Although these words sounded very funny.

But in this day and age, such words are simply outrageous! It is not a pity to be directly burned to death by religious personnel.

Sure enough, the people around also made terrified voices.

"Crazy! Everyone is crazy!!"

"If you don't even believe in gods, who else can you trust?"

"I'd like to see, without the help of gods, how can a doctor who is disrespectful to gods save this dying patient..." The crowd's complaints suddenly stopped!

Everyone was dumbfounded as Xu Mu picked up the dying child and leaned his back against his abdomen.

Loop your hands around your child's armpits, then make fists.

Push hard towards the child's stomach! Then rock him back and forth.

This action was repeated for three groups.

"Wow!!"

Suddenly, the dying child, whose life was already hanging by a thread, vomited out a mouthful of food scraps!

Then, only the sound of the child's heavy breathing could be heard, like a fish thirsty for water.

After going on for about half a minute, the child's shortness of breath slowly stopped, and his bruised face gradually returned to normal. Although he was still a little weak, he was able to walk on the ground, and threw himself directly into his mother's arms .

This scene made all the people present dumbfounded!

A person who is clearly about to die, but suddenly comes back to life the next moment?

"This... this..." Everyone looked at Xu Mu as if they had seen a ghost.

The people who were eager to criticize them just now changed their tone drastically!

"My gods, I can't believe my eyes! What is this? Witchcraft?"

"Could it be...the gods really don't exist, are we just deluding ourselves all this time? Otherwise, why didn't the gods take action when the child was dying just now, but this heroic mercenary took action to save the child!"

"Maybe we should really think about it. If the gods are always protecting us, where are they? Why have I never seen them?"

Even the mother, who was so powerful just now, pulled the child and knelt down to Xu Mu: "Thank you! Doctor! Thank you for saving my child!"

Hippocrates looked at Xu Mu with even more surprise!

"What kind of superb medical skill is this?" He couldn't help asking.

In fact, what Xu Mu used was not any medical skill, but a very common self-help trick, which is very popular in modern times.

Heimlich's first aid method.

This is the emergency rescue posture that Xu Mu learned when he was still studying. The principle is to expel the foreign objects blocked in the esophagus through the extrusion of the airflow in the stomach. It has a very good effect on acute respiratory blockage. Therefore, the school once organized Several training sessions.

For some foreign objects stuck in the throat, it may be possible to shake out the foreign objects by coughing vigorously and patting the back.

But right now the child is clearly choking deep in the esophagus, unable to cough out the food.

In the absence of a modern hospital, only the Heimlich first aid method can be used for emergency treatment.

Of course, this kind of simple and easy operation to Xu Mu is as miraculous as magic in the eyes of others!

"I will pass on this medical skill to you later, but before that, you need to agree to my request. Go to Pericles' mansion and talk to him. He may give you help and advice on practicing medical skills, but in exchange, From now on, you also need to stand on his side and promote the advantages of democracy to every one of your patients." Xu Mu took the opportunity to cut into the topic.

Hippocrates agreed without hesitation.

Compared with democracy and monarchy, Hippocrates has long been itching in his heart, and he can't wait to learn Xu Mu's mysterious medical skills, so that he may be able to treat more patients in the future, instead of watching helplessly They died in front of them, and the wailing of their families lingered in their ears.

To be honest, that taste is really uncomfortable.

...

The two additional tasks were easily solved by Xu Mu.

Next, you only need to complete the assassination of Cleon to get all the rewards of this super hidden mission!

Xu Mu didn't stop, and after bidding farewell to Hippocrates, he strode towards Cleon's mansion in stride.

When approaching the exterior wall of the magnificently decorated mansion, Xu Mu had a thought and summoned Ika to hover in mid-air.

The personnel divisions in the mansion and the ranks of the soldiers can also be seen in a panoramic view.

Good guy.

I don’t know if I don’t read it, but I’m startled when I see it!

The ranks of the soldiers are clear? ? ?

On the other hand, Cleon with the leader logo has three bright red question marks, which means high danger!

It seems that this old boy is really a bit serious to be able to compete with Pericles.

It's probably not realistic to force it.

If you use the Flying Thunder God to assassinate, if you can't directly kill the soldier with one blow, it will definitely attract the attention of others.

"It seems that with the rapid advancement of the task, it is not a good thing to increase the level too quickly."

"The main reason is that the strength of the equipment can no longer keep up."

"It would be great if someone could take advantage of it." Xu Mu was thinking to himself.

Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a few players sneaking behind him.

Suddenly, a plan came to my mind!
