Throne of Vientiane Civilization

Chapter 52 The Curse of the Old Gods

This 'sneeze' gave Zhou Xu an ominous premonition, and rushed out of the tent.

"Where did the sound come from?!"

At this moment, Zhou Xu was not the only one who became nervous, but the tribe members outside were looking at the tent not far away with pale faces at this moment.

Needless to say, the sound of sneezing came from that tent.

"From now on, everyone stay away from that tent!"

In fact, even if Zhou Xu didn't say anything, the surrounding tribe members still felt shy about that tent.

A member of the tribe who was closest to him at that time couldn't help but keep talking...

"Curse, he was cursed by the old gods!"

"..."

Obviously, similar things have happened before, but these primitive people did not have the concept of cold and disease, and simply thought it was something like a 'curse'.

This spring, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and even the temperature is cold and hot every day. It is the season of high incidence of colds.

Similar symptoms have never occurred before, which made him mistakenly believe that primitive people have strong resistance and are not prone to such diseases.

Now it seems that he was careless.

"Has anything like this happened before?"

Facing the question, the tribe member nodded hastily.

"It happened, and after this happened, many other people in the tribe were often cursed one by one, and even died!"

The result was much more serious than he expected.

Originally, according to his expectation, the most serious thing was the flu in their camp, which made many tribal members incapacitated for a period of time.

After all, for modern people, it is difficult to associate a cold with a dead person.

As for the primitive people, it's probably because they didn't care about it after catching a cold, and they didn't know how to manage it. In addition, the environment for cultivation was harsh, which led to the worsening of the condition.

In this era, a contagious flu is enough to cause heavy losses to a tribe, or even wipe it out.

But now that he is here, this situation will definitely not happen.

It's not that he has mastered medical knowledge and doctor-seeing skills.

It's because he possesses the ultimate mystery that their Great China has inherited for five thousand years!

Drink plenty of hot water!

This is not a joke. People of their generation would not be able to make a special trip to the hospital if they just caught a cold. That would be too troublesome.

If you have cold medicine at home, just soak it casually, or drink hot water if you don’t have it, and let yourself recover by increasing the body’s metabolism.

For so many years, I have relied on this trick to survive.

Because of making breakfast this morning, the stone stove has already been lit, and the water in the pot has already boiled. There is no need for him to order this matter for the time being.

However, for the sake of caution, he still had to check the condition of the patient.

Of course, before going in, he needs one thing, and that is a mask.

But to be honest, they simply don't have the right material to make it right now.

Weaving one out of bark can only be said to be self-deception, and it is impossible to have any substantial effect.

Considering safety first, there is probably only one material that can be used right now, and that is animal skin.

Although this thing is not very breathable, it is easy to make people hypoxic after a long time, but people are alive, so you can take it off before you are hypoxic?

And when it comes to animal skin masks, they happen to have them ready-made right now.

That's their sling!

How is the sling made?

To put it bluntly, it is just a piece of mouse skin that has been processed, and then a strong bark rope is worn on both sides.

As long as the bark ropes on both sides are simply processed, it can be turned into a mask, and it doesn't take much time at all.

During this process, Zhou Xu was not idle, and shouted at the surrounding tribe members who were chanting 'curse'...

"It's not a curse! It's a cold. In the hot and cold days, the body can't adapt due to the drastic temperature difference. It's a phenomenon caused by discomfort! It can be treated!"

Zhou Xu opened his mouth and said a lot, but the tribe members basically only understood a few sentences.

One is 'this is not a curse' and the other is 'healing is possible'.

Before the change, although Zhou Xu had the status of the "God's Chosen One", they might not believe the "curse" now.

But now in this tribe, Zhou Xu has already accumulated enough prestige.

Even if the tribe members still can't understand what the cold in his mouth is, as long as they can trust him and follow his orders, the situation will be stable.

During the time he spoke, Zhou Xu had already finished the mask.

"You all stay outside and don't get close. I'll go in and check the situation."

As soon as Zhou Xu said this, the surrounding tribe members were in an uproar, among them Ye Jinghong stepped forward and stopped him.

"Leader, this is too dangerous, let me go."

"You go? Do you know what I want to confirm? How to confirm?"

The casual rhetorical question left Ye Jinghong speechless, and patted the other person on the shoulder. Zhou Xu put on a mask and walked quickly into the tent.

It was so noisy outside, the tribe members inside were undoubtedly awake, and at the same time, they heard Zhou Xu's shouting outside clearly.

As soon as Zhou Xu came in, he immediately became excited.

"Chief, can I really be saved?"

"It's helped, don't get too excited, lie down."

The other party's cold may be contagious, but since they have already come in, Zhou Xu is not afraid of this.

At this moment, the other party's face was pale, his lips were dry, and there were still two lines of clear water snot hanging from his nose.

Faced with this appearance, Zhou Xu didn't dislike it, and directly reached out to test the temperature of the other's forehead.

[Fortunately, it's not too hot. 】

"Is your throat sore or itchy?"

"No, I just feel dizzy."

Zhou Xu nodded when he got the answer, he already knew it in his heart.

"I'll ask someone to bring in a bowl of hot water later. After you drink it, go to bed and rest."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Xu quickly walked out of the tent without waiting for a reply. After walking a few steps, he quickly took off the mask on his face. The mask really smothered him to death.

After taking a few breaths of fresh air, he looked at the nervous tribal members around him.

"Don't be afraid, with me here, you can't die."

Before counting his mistakes, it is useless to tell them too clearly, just tell them that they will not die.

Sure enough, it was much better than what I said before.

Seeing the calm people, Zhou Xu quickly ordered.

"In addition to the members who need to go out to perform tasks, I now need someone to stay in the camp and take care of each other along the way. Who would like to?"

Although according to his thinking, when the other party wears a mask according to the standard, it should be able to reduce the possibility of infection to the greatest extent.

But to say that he would never be infected, Zhou Xu didn't say so deadly.

In this way, compared to appointing himself, he now hopes that someone can take the initiative to stand up.

However, in the eyes of the primitive people, this is the 'curse of the old gods' that terrifies them after all, and hesitation is inevitable.

And just at this moment, a figure stood up very simply.

"I trust the leader, let me come."

It's Zhou Zhongshan!
