The dwarf carpenter Vla played a very important role in the early stages of Liqi's research and development. Liqi also had a good impression of this "tool person" who could keep up with his brain thinking. When he arrived at Vla's house, the tall maid greeted him with her big belly.

"Rising, sir!"

"How about Fla?"

"He may be almost gone." She looked sad. I don't know if it was because her unborn child had no father or because the pillars of the family disappeared, which made her very pessimistic about her future life.

Li Qi turned to the person who followed him and said, "Come the pharmacist."

The situation of the porcupine collar is much better than when Li Qi first came here. At that time, there was no pharmacist at the porcupine collar. He was injured and dying but could only go to Tieshi City to hire scholars and apprentices. Ordinary people were sick and had to wait for death.

However, under the development of Li Qi, the Porcupine Corps is developing towards a relatively complete small village.

Although this kind of development is entirely supported by him making money alone, the economic income and expenditure are not healthy.

Li Qi entered the bedroom.

On the bed, the dwarf carpenter saw Li Qi coming and struggled to get up, but Li Qi stopped him: "Lying down, my friend."

"I'm very sorry, sir." Fula's voice became extremely weak. And there was a clear bitter smile on his face, and his teeth kept biting, as if it was very painful.

There was a white cloth on his head, and the smell of medicine overflowed.

"How did he fall ill?" Li Qi turned his head and asked the tall maid with a big belly beside him.

"He accidentally cut his head with a nail while he was working. There was a hole as long as his finger, Oh, the Four Gods are on it, my poor Fra, he looks really painful."

When he mentioned his husband, the tall maid's eyes couldn't help but turn red. "He couldn't even open his mouth to eat. His teeth were biting tightly. I tried to tear the bread into his mouth with the porridge made of wheat, but he couldn't open his mouth at all. Then I tried to buy some milk. Fortunately, he could still swallow the milk, but his body was getting worse day by day."

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that Fra is now at the end of his strength.

After hearing the story of the tall maid, Li Qi probably understood.

It's tetanus.

In this world, Li Qi didn't even know how to treat tetanus. Maybe pharmacists would have a way, maybe scholars might have a way, or magic.

The lord ordered someone to be found, and the pharmacist came soon, carrying a wooden box.

"Is there a way to treat him?" Li Qi attached great importance to carpenter Fra, of course, personal emotions occupy a very important factor.

The pharmacist shook his head gently: "Sorry, this disease will gradually weaken his heart. I have seen it for him before, but Mr. Fra's disease is more serious than others. Of course, we can also adopt some more extreme and risky methods, maybe try to bleed for him."

In this world with magic and faith and originating from the dragon, the development of science can be said to be extremely slow.

Ordinary people have learned to live on their own, while nobles are used to chanting a mantra to solve problems. Even if they cannot solve problems with mantras, they can pray to the gods.

When praying to the gods is really useful, people will not take the initiative to study, because they will firmly believe that everything they can get is the gift of the gods and the blessings of the gods.

Since I have tried my best to study science, and in the end it is just a blessing from the gods, why don’t I pray directly to the gods at the beginning and then wait for God’s blessing?

So, ignorant bloodletting treatments were rampant on this continent.

Although there is no concept of a doctor in the formal sense in the Lurea continent, pharmacists and some scholars can indeed assume some doctor functions at the same time.

Scholars may be better. They understand alchemy and their research on the human body is more refined.

Ordinary pharmacists are different. They firmly believe that blood is the source of life in the human body. When they get sick, they are caused by problems with the blood in their bodies. Therefore, no matter what kind of disease it is, they can be treated by bleeding, including headaches, colds, fevers, and even aging.

There are fewer children and fewer people who can survive under bloodletting treatment, but countless people die in this method.

There is also a story in the book that Li Qi has read about pharmacists treating bloodletting for pregnant women. He puts leeches on the navel of pregnant women and lets leeches drill in, and the result is self-evident.

"No one will be bleeding at Porcupine Ridge." Li Qi looked at the pharmacist and strengthened his emphasis.

As a lord, he must ensure that his subordinates will not die due to stupid treatments.

The pharmacist did not argue because he was not proficient in bloodletting treatment and did not dare to try it easily.

"Sir" Fura seemed to have something to say: "Sir, I know that my life is about to come to an end. Although I am sorry, I can't go back to the Golden Wheat Field, please believe me, Porcupine Ridge is my second hometown. There are things I have made by myself. I watch the porcupine collar get better and better, and I love it here deeply."

"Relax, my friend." Li Qi did not comfort him.

Because he really has no treatment plan now.

Looking at the carpenter with a difficult expression, Li Qi asked the pharmacist: "Is there anything that can make him feel more comfortable? At the end of his life."

"Yes, sir, I can prepare some potions for him, which will make him temporarily forget some pain."

After receiving the order, the pharmacist immediately opened his small medicine box and began to prepare a small bottle the size of a thumb in his small medicine box.

This is a very thin, translucent-looking stone bottle, like a glass gem, with the mouth of the bottle being plugged with a wooden stopper.

He pulled out the stopper, took out one and poured it on the wooden box, then stirred it with a small medicine stick and mixed it together, and then mixed it with a little white liquid in the bottle into a small pill. Li Qi guessed that the white liquid might be something addictive.

Li Qi took the medicine and helped Fula take the medicine with his own hands. The medicine was very effective. But after a while, his eyes, such as those lying on the hospital bed, gradually became focal, and he became energetic.

"At the last moment of my life, I hope you can do me a favor, sir."

"Tell me, my friend."

"I would like to ask you to host a wedding and let my wife Caoya marry her apprentice's Spike Nose. We all know that you are a kind lord. Please rest assured that we have discussed whether it is a Spike Nose or Caoya. They do not refuse this marriage."

Li Qi was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, I will agree."

This is a method of inheritance that Li Qi has known for a long time. When the master is about to die, he will marry his wife and children to his apprentice.

It is always better than an orphan and widowed mother, lonely and helpless.

The apprentice can get everything from the master, and it is his duty to take care of the orphans and widows.

There are even some old craftsmen who, even if they don’t have a son and only have a beautiful wife, will choose to entrust their wives to their apprentices.

An apprentice represents his craft inheritance. If there is no man supporting his shop, his shop will only disappear in the blink of an eye.

The rest of the time Liqi did not disturb them anymore, and he left the rest of the time to Fra's wife and his apprentice.
