Chapter 84 ChickenPox

nActually, William's plan was never kill Slytherin.

nSlytherin was a key chess piece, in Eli's rise to power.

nWith Slytherin's help, Eli could easily take care of his siblings.

nWilliam didn't want to start attacking any of them until a Winner emerged from the group.

nWhy go through all that stress when he could just kill the winner?

nWilliam was clear on his thoughts.

nIf the winner didn't step down from the throne, then the winner had to die, simple.

nSlytherin was part of Eli's backbone and it wasn't necessary to have him killed just yet.

nHe did all this just to send a message to his little cousin Eli and Slytherin.

nWilliam had left the message in Slytherin's hideout outside the city gates.

nHe was sure that right about now, Slytherin should have gotten the message.

nAnd he was right.

nSlytherin reached his hideout and was shocked silly.

nHis men were all dead, and all their horses had magically disappeared.

nThe funny part was that all their belongings and clothes had been stolen.

nThere were just naked dead bodies lying around.

nHe quickly rushed towards his room, and pushed the door wide open.

nEverything was gone.

nAll his gold, his silver and a few documents that he had within his care, were gone.

nThey were really gone with the wind.

nLuckily, Slytherin had always kept his most important documents with him, he couldn't imagine what would happen if his enemies had gotten them.

nHe had to admit that he had really underestimated that bastard.

nThis was the last time that he would ever make that mistake again.

nThere was a note on his table with a knife stabbed on it.

nThe knife had a unique craftsmanship, and had the initials 'G.P' on it's handle.

nSlytherin immediately knew who the culprit was.

nAs he read the letter, his blood boiled and he couldn't help but crumble the letter in his hands.

nHe swore that he would for sure kill the bastard, even if he had to die trying.

nThe bastard had to die.After reading the letter, Slytherin placed it in his pocket and went outside his room.

nHe quickly burnt down the base and took off.

nHe had come to Sangria with 150 men excluding the 50 that usually stayed in Sangria to keep an eye on things.

nAll 200 men had died, with only him being the sole survivor.

n

"The humiliation you have given me today, I will remember it

nWhile Slytherin was steaming away like a glazed doughnut, Landon had been educating the doctors, nurses and caretakers on how to handle chickenpox patients.

nThe children were all infected with the 'Scourge Creeper' (Chickenpox).

nSince this time was school break, the children would run around the estate playing with each other all day long.

nApparently, 1 of the children had it... but it wasn't really visible at the time.

nIt just looked like breakouts or bad allergies, so no one thought anything of it.

nThen that child spread it to the other children, who had never had chickenpox before in the estate.Since chickenpox is an air borne disease, all those children were easily infected.

nIt was only a few days ago, that the head doctor in the clinic realised what it was.

nIn this world...since they didn't have any cure for chickenpox, all they did was let the virus go away on its own, while isolating the victims and treating them like leprosy patients.

nLandon walked into the room and saw the children itching and scratching themselves aggressively.

nThat was the worst thing to do in such situations.

n

"Woo woo... its itchy

"

n

"Will I remain like this forever?

"

n

"I feel like my throat is dry.

"

nLandon came into the room and ensured the patients that they would be fine…It wasn't easy.

n

n

nSome children were crying and screaming in the room, while others were violently scratching themselves against the walls.

nFinally, Landon decided to quiet them down with a short story.

nAnd after the story, he began briefing all the doctors on what the disease actually was, and how they could further treat and cure it.

nHe also wanted the doctors educate the citizens, and the caretakers, ensuring them that this illness was literally not a big deal.

nThere was no reason to not visit the patients, if the citizens had already gotten chickenpox when they were younger.

nIt rarely affected those that had already gotten it.

nHe realised that he also needed the citizens to come to the hospital within this month, and register all the symptoms and diseases that they had ever gotten before.

nAlthough these illnesses had strange names in this world, they all had common symptoms to those that Landon remembered back on earth.

nHe wanted to know if they had gotten or survived attacks from diseases like measles, mumps and so on.

nHe also realised that people in this era, could not differentiate between smallpox and chickenpox. For them, both were one and the same.

nAlso, there was presently no cure for most of these diseases.

nThat's why thousands of people died yearly within the Pyno continent from them.

nTo think that people could actually die from something like malaria, yellow fever and Typhoid.

nThey also died from Measles as well.

nFor chickenpox to be fully cured, Landon gave the doctors a detailed description for the treatment process.

nThe children were to soak in cold water that had sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) added to it....They were to do this at least 2 times a day.

nAfter soaking, they were to bathe with soap, so as to keep their skin clean... The caretakers and nurses were only supposed to pat, and not rub their skin when giving the children their bath.

nThey were also to keep the children hydrated by allowing them to drink lots of water and milk throughout the day.

nThe children needed to fight off their fever, and the viruses within their bodies. That's why their bodies needed hydration regularly.

nHeat and sweat would also make their skin itchy, so the caretakers were to wipe their bodies with wet cold rags every after 3 hours, so as to calm their skin.

nSince there were no pills, Landon decided to go old school.

nHe decided to go towards the direction of Chinese medicine.

nHe had the doctors, nurses and some caretakers, boil the leaves of the 'Iplomoea' and 'Ocimum basilian' plant.

nThe children were to drink the liquid from the boiled leaves at least 3 times a day.

nLandon had previously gotten all knowledge in farming.

nPart of that knowledge included identifying all plants, vegetables, dairy farming, food and all other types of farming that existed in the world.

nHe knew how to grow a farm filled with medical plants as well.

nHence he could tell how beneficial each plant was to the human body.

nLandon speculated that within a week and a half, the chickenpox crises should pass for most of the children.

nOf course some might require more time to completely get rid of the virus.
