They placed the lady on a straw mat in the backyard.
It was a good thing that their backyard was big enough, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to fit a leper who had to keep a distance from them.
"What do we do now?" Tom looked at the lady on the ground and asked.
"Let's go wash our hands first." Scarlett said.
The three of them washed their hands with clear water and soap.
After that, Ethan went into his room and wrote down a prescription.
Scarlett stood behind him and softly asked, "What is this?"
When Scarlett came here, although she inherited the memories of the previous host, the previous host couldn't read, so she didn't recognize the words of this sun Kingdom.
"Prescription." Ethan said.
"What word is this?" Scarlett pointed at the first word on the prescription and asked.
"Earth." Ethan read, "Earth bone skin."
"What about this?" Scarlett continued to point.
"Sophora flavescens, bramble mustard, Xanthoxylum … …" Ethan read the prescription as Scarlett pointed at it.
Scarlett's expression was very serious, as if she was really learning how to read. Although it was a bit inappropriate, Ethan didn't think too much of it.
"How do you have a prescription for leprosy?" Scarlett asked in a puzzled voice.
Ethan paused and said, "There was a barefoot doctor who gave me a prescription.
So that was the case.
Scarlett nodded and said, "Is this the prescription used to treat the illness?"
Scarlett nodded and said, "Her symptoms are very light right now, If she is treated properly, there might be a chance to cure her."
Scarlett already understood the prescription. It was the right medicine, but the effect was very slow. It could only slow down the development of leprosy. It was still difficult to cure it.
However, Scarlett didn't say anything.
David took the prescription and said, "I'll go get the medicine!"
Ethan reminded him, "Remember to go to different pharmacies."
Ethan paused for a moment and suddenly understood, "I understand!"
They couldn't let anyone see that this was a prescription for leprosy, otherwise, they would be exposed.
"I'll go too!" Tom said.
"What are you going to do?" David didn't want to go with him.
Tom raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm going to prevent you from reporting it to the authorities!"
Don't think that he didn't hear it. This guy just urged his brother-in-law to send his sister to Leprosy Mountain!
David rolled his eyes.
If he didn't touch the lady, he would definitely report it to the authorities. However, he had already touched the lady. If he reported it to the authorities, wouldn't he be arrested together with Ethan?
No matter what, tom was very determined to follow him, so David had no choice but to bring him along.
It was impossible to take the ox cart. If the news was leaked, it would be dangerous. The two of them walked to the major pharmacies in town. About two hours later, they bought all the medicine and a medicine jar.
Scarlett took the medicine to the kitchen to boil it.
While waiting for the medicine, Scarlett asked Ethan, "Why did you come back? I heard that Thomas moved to the dormitory. "
Ethan told Scarlett about the collapse of the dormitory.
As expected, Scarlett thought to herself. However, there was a surprised expression on her face, "Fortunately, you're fine."
Ethan looked at her deeply.
The backyard was too cold. Scarlett tidied up the small room where the grains were stored. She moved a bamboo bed inside and covered it with cotton wool. It could barely be considered a bed.
"You guys can go out. I'll feed her," Scarlett said to them.
"Sister, you have to be careful," Tom said worriedly.
"Don't worry. I know what I'm doing." Scarlett sent them out and quietly took out the small medicine box hidden in the basket.
Ethan's judgment was correct. This patient was indeed in the early stages of leprosy. Moreover, she belonged to the rare type of leprosy. There were few skin lesions and it was not very contagious. As long as the symptoms were treated correctly, she could completely recover without any sequelae.
However, her coma was not caused by leprosy. It was caused by excessive fatigue. Her clothes were torn and her shoes were broken.
Scarlett could not help but think of the soldiers she met in town. Could it be … that she was the patient who escaped from Leprosy Mountain?
After the lady regained consciousness, Scarlett took out chlorodiphenylsulfone and rifampicin from the medicine box and fed them to her. She also added a special medicine from the research institute.
As for the bowl of Chinese medicine, she also fed some to the lady. However, the lady seemed to dislike bitter medicine and spat it out with a look of disgust.
" lady, where are you from?" Scarlett tried to ask about the lady's background so that she could safely send her back.
However, the lady calmly looked at Scarlett, snorted, and fell asleep.
Scarlett: "…"
Scarlett tidied up her things and went to the backyard to wash her hands.
"Sister!" Tom, who had been waiting in the backyard, greeted her. "Why did you come out so late?"
"The lady drinks medicine slowly, so I fed her for a while."Scarlett said casually.
"Cough." Tom looked around and asked softly, "Sister, can she really be cured? I heard that leprosy cannot be cured. "
Scarlett smiled faintly. "Don't worry. It can be cured."
Tom had never heard that leprosy could be cured. However, for some reason, when his sister said this, he inexplicably believed her.
If his sister said it could be cured, then it could definitely be cured!
It was getting late. Tom and David should also go back.
Before leaving, David secretly said to Ethan, "Brother Ethan, I know that you are a chivalrous person and can't bear to leave someone in the lurch. However, I still have to remind you that leprosy cannot be cured. You should take advantage of the fact that no one in the village knows and quickly send her away when she wakes up."
He couldn't blame Ethan for doing something wrong. This was because Ethan had saved him from the fire at the relay station without even recognizing him.
Brother Ethan was such a chivalrous person.
"Also, pay attention to that evil woman. She has more contact with the patients. If …"
"She has a name." Ethan interrupted David.
David was stunned. He looked at Ethan in confusion.
To be honest, Ethan was not a person who would warm up after interacting with him for a long time. He always had an unapproachable aura around him. If it wasn't for the fact that he saved his life, David would probably think that he was an extremely cold youth.
However, he increasingly felt that Ethan was treating that evil woman differently recently.
Brother Ethan … You have changed!!!
