Chapter 799: Eliminating Ascaris

The supplementary agreement that Baifeng thought up on the spot tortured the officials of the Ministry of Revenue and the Secretariat; in order to sign the agreement as quickly as possible, they had no choice but to work around the clock. At noon, when everyone else went to rest, they still had to continue working overtime, and only after many discussions, when they felt there were no problems, did they finish their work.

In the afternoon, after Baifeng checked it and confirmed there were no problems, he took it to show Xuanyuan. After discussing the specific prices with Xuanyuan, this agreement could finally be considered pre-established.

Because Cangjie had not come over, there was no one in the Xuanyuan Tribe who could write the contract, and even if the people of Huaxia knew how to write the Xuanyuan Tribe's script, they could not replace Cangjie to write it; after all, that would not be reasonable.

Thus, this contract was only established verbally, and indeed, there was no need to sign it immediately right now; after all, for many products, it was not the time for acquisition and exchange. It was already late autumn, and everything would have to wait until next year.

What Xuanyuan cared about more right now was whether the Chinaberry Bark was actually useful; this was the most urgent matter. If he could not get news, he would not be able to go to Kongtong Mountain with peace of mind.

Fortunately, in the afternoon, good news came from the Hospital: one Slave had already expelled Ascaris.

Baifeng and the others immediately set off to the Hospital to check. By the time they arrived, the feces containing the Ascaris were still sitting in a special container. In the foul-smelling stool, a large number of white worms were coiled; some were very thick and also very long.

Anyone who took a look would be unable to suppress the urge to vomit. It was not just the stench of the feces itself; the appearance of the Ascaris was also terrifying enough.

Looking at the state of the Ascaris, they were basically all dead now. Only a few might occasionally twitch their bodies, but the movements were weak. Having been killed by the medicine and having left the environment most suitable for survival, the Ascaris would die quickly.

No one dared to touch that basin. Even the person who used a stick to poke the Ascaris had to wash their hands with hot water several times before they felt at ease.

The nurses responsible for those Slaves now had hands that were washed until they were somewhat pale, and added to the expressions on their faces, one could tell they had been badly frightened.

The Slave who expelled the Ascaris was also badly frightened. He really had not expected that there were so many worms in his stomach, and according to what the doctor said, the worms in his stomach were not limited to these; there were still many that had not been passed out, and he had to continue taking the medicine until no more worms were passed out.

The Slave who first passed the worms was the one who had taken the largest dose of medicine, and he had not developed any other discomfort; his state was very normal, he was just frightened quite badly.

He had already taken the medicine twice now. If it were not for the doctor saying that the next dose had to wait until tomorrow, no matter how much medicine was brought to him now, he would have drunk it without even blinking.

As for the other two Slaves, there was still no performance yet. Judging from the situation on this first day, their dosages were still a bit too low. However, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the experiment, their low-dosage treatment had to continue. Even if they did not expel a single worm in the end, the dosage could not be increased halfway; if that happened, the experiment would not be accurate.

How would one know whether it was because the dosage was large that the worms could come down, or if there had to be an effect period? The process of the experiment could not be changed because of the goal.

Upon learning the result, Xuanyuan was very happy. This was truly good news. The Melia Bark was effective, and this kind of medicine was produced right in their Xuanyuan Tribe. His own tribesmen would no longer be troubled by things like having worms in their stomachs in the future.

Just as they were talking in the ward, the Slave's complexion also began to change slightly. The doctor in charge was very sharp and immediately asked him: "What is it? Is there somewhere you feel uncomfortable? Is it pain or nausea?"

Everyone's gaze was immediately drawn over. If there were side effects, then they would have to consider lowering the dosage again, and the scope of the experiment would have to be wider and larger until a safe dosage range was tested.

Unexpectedly, the Slave said: "I, I want to poop again..."

The crowd immediately cleared a path. There was a small room specially partitioned off in the ward for patients to use the toilet. The Slave was a bit reserved, but was urged by the doctor: "Go quickly, go quickly."

The Slave had no choice but to timidly enter the toilet again, but after entering, he did not know whether he should close the door. If he didn't close it, he couldn't let so many people watch him poop.

The doctor hurriedly said: "Teacher, Tribal Chief Xuanyuan, let's go out and wait. It will be a bit smelly inside this room."

Baifeng and the others also hurriedly went out without lingering. To actually let them watch a Slave poop, that would really be a bit too strange.

In the hospital corridor, the doctor asked Baifeng: "Teacher, how should those worms be handled? Everyone is unwilling to touch that stool basin and everything related to it, fearing that they will infect themselves with the Ascaris disease."

Baifeng immediately said: "Cover it with Lime, find a toilet and dump it out. Sprinkle some more Lime in the toilet too. There will still be many such situations in the future, so don't be so afraid. Although it is a bit disgusting, we have already found a solution now."

"Also, tell those doctors and nurses to handle those things under the premise of ensuring hygiene. Aren't there cleaners? Let them handle it. Your Ministry of Health must also do a good job of publicity. In the future, Huaxia should launch a large-scale movement to eliminate Ascaris."

"Perhaps at that time, Ascaris could be seen in all the toilets. As long as there are any, use Lime to eliminate them once. As long as the Ascaris eggs die, there is no need to worry about the problem of infection."

"Alcohol is useless for killing worms. In order to avoid unnecessary waste and wrong concepts, this point must also be clearly told to other medical staff."

"Just wash your hands more. Now the weather is getting colder and drier. As long as the Ascaris eggs leave the body, they will definitely die in two or three days, so Winter is the best time for us to eliminate the Ascaris disease."

Subsequently, Baifeng said to Xuanyuan: "Xuanyuan, how can you let the decision-maker of your Xuanyuan Tribe now know about the order you gave? I think we should reach this deal now. The sooner the deal for the Melia Bark proceeds, the better."

"Of course, our Huaxia's results are also your Xuanyuan Tribe's experience. How to use it, how much to use, and how to handle the follow-up, all of this can be taught to your Xuanyuan Tribe. And for the bark, we will try our best to only take it from the branches. What do you think?"

Xuanyuan did not hesitate: "It can be done. I can press my fingerprint, you write the text, and then I will just find someone from your Huaxia who knows how to read to read it once, and I will know if what is written is the same as what was told to me."

"We already know how to compare fingerprints now. Cangjie has the fingerprints I pressed before. As long as they are compared, they will know that I have already agreed to this matter. In that case, when you go to make the deal, there will be no obstacles. I also hope that when I come to Huaxia tomorrow, I can get bigger and better news."
