Chapter 272: Go up the mountain to collect medicine
"No...... Basically, they are all cold symptoms, and there is nothing special. Doctor Fang shook his head in annoyance, sighed, and the burning cigarette butt in his hand burned his fingers and quickly fell to the ground.
"Dr. Xiao, that friend of yours is calling you downstairs!" the innocent-looking little nurse with a ponytail knocked on the door and walked over.
As soon as Xiao Xiong raised his head, he came back, and then got up and said to the doctors: "You continue to discuss, I'll go down for a while." ”
Downstairs, Qi Bang, who was holding a chicken in his left and right hands, pouted, his expression was extremely unnatural, Xiao Xiong walked downstairs and said in surprise: "What's wrong with you?"
"stinks!" Qi Bang said in a complaining tone, tilting his head and closing his eyes, Xiao Xiong caught a glimpse of the turquoise object on Qi Bang's trouser leg.
Xiao Xiong couldn't help but smile on his face, it was rare to make himself laugh when he was in a heavy mood.
"Go get some water and wash it, there's still something for you to do, go quickly." Xiao Xiong looked at Qi Bang with playful eyes and asked.
Qibang frowned, with a bored expression, he looked down at the on his trouser legs, "Where are these two chickens?"
"Give me, you go wash your pants first. ”
Taking the two flapping wings and struggling chickens from Qi Bang's hands, Xiao Xiong didn't say anything more, his eyes staring at the bucket on the steps.
Whether it has anything to do with well water or not, there will be an answer soon. Just as Xiao Xiong was secretly thinking in his heart, the little nurse with a ponytail came over and looked at Xiao Xiong with a puzzled expression.
"Do me a favor and keep these two chickens on a leash. Xiao Xiong looked at the little nurse and said.
The nurse obediently complied, took the two chickens from Xiao Xiong's hands, brought them to a wooden stake, and tied the chickens' feet with a rope.
Qi Bang scrubbed his pants near the faucet, and within two minutes, Xiao Xiong handed a cigarette to Qi Bang, "Thank you for your hard work, do you see that bucket of water? Feed these two chickens water, feed them more." ”
Only then did Qi Bang, who suddenly realized, be completely stunned, and suddenly reacted in his heart, Xiao Xiong is really smart, can't he easily test whether there is a problem with the well water with this method?
"Good way! Boss, it's absolutely amazing!" Qi Bang stretched out his thumb and said again, and immediately realized his mistake, "Brother!"
Hearing the strange and abrupt title of "boss", the little nurse looked back at Xiao Xiong and Qi Bang with hesitant eyes.
Xiao Xiong scratched his head and smiled, explaining: "He was joking with me, many people in the unit called me the boss, this is the nickname they gave me. ”
The little nurse smiled, naturally she didn't think about anything else, if she knew Xiao Xiong's true background, maybe she would stay away from Xiao Xiong.
Qi Bang lifted the bucket under the stake, facing the two chickens, Xiao Xiong had already left, for some reason, suddenly Qi Bang, who was overflowing with sympathy, stared at the two chickens, and said with a serious look: "I'm sorry for you, this is fate, you have to be an experiment." ”
The ward on the far right side of the corridor on the first floor had two empty beds, and there were no patients, so Niu Sheng felt a little sleepy and fell asleep on a bed by the window.
The moment Xiao Xiong walked into the holiday, his face suddenly became anxious and panicked, because he saw that Niu Sheng's body was twitching, and the amplitude quickly became violent.
"Wake up!" Xiao Xiong rushed to the hospital bed, grabbed Niu Sheng's thin arm with both hands, and shouted with panicked eyes.
Niu Sheng slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were blurry and hazy, his cheeks were flushed, there was a clear sense of pain in his expression, and he said in a low tone: "I... I'm cold..."
Xiao Xiong stretched out his hand nervously, only to reach Niu Sheng's forehead, only to feel hot, and suddenly realized that Niu Sheng had a high fever.
"Don't be afraid!"
The ten fingers of both palms were opened, close to Niu Sheng's head and chest, Xiao Xiong was calm, and under his full concentration, his mind mobilized the true qi in his body, and the invisible true qi poured into the palms, and soon overflowed, entering Niu Sheng's body at a very fast speed.
The subtle changes in his body were felt very clearly and intensely, and the blush on Niu Sheng's face gradually faded, and his breathing changed from rapid to much smoother.
In desperation, Xiao Xiong could only invoke his true qi to help Niu Sheng reduce his fever. The fever subsided, but Niu Sheng's body was extremely weak, and it was very laborious to even sit up straight.
With curiosity on his face, Niu Sheng was surprised, what did Xiao Xiong do to himself, why did he feel no more uncomfortable?
"Do you know how to do it?" Niu Sheng was stunned, looked at Xiao Xiong with shocked eyes, and asked in an innocent tone.
Xiao Xiong didn't make a sound, remembered what Niu Sheng said to himself in the dilapidated house, moved towards the end of the bed, and lifted the quilt.
Grabbing the sole of Niu Sheng's left foot with his right hand, Xiao Xiong bowed down and observed the soles of his feet, purple and black, a large area, occupying about two-thirds of the soles of his feet, very similar to bruising but not.
"No wonder the soles of your feet hurt!" Xiao Xiong said to himself with a surprised expression, feeling very strange in his heart, he had never seen such strange symptoms.
Tried to press Niu Sheng's soles with his fingers, but before Xiao Xiong could ask, Niu Sheng groaned twice, his face full of pain.
"Does it hurt?"
Niu Sheng nodded vigorously, grinning in pain, but he still endured it and did not wail in pain.
The chaotic clues in his mind urgently needed to be sorted out, Xiao Xiong covered Niu Sheng with a quilt, recalled the scene that happened today, walked out of the ward, and called Doctor Fang down from upstairs.
"Dr. Xiao, what's wrong?"
"Come with me to Qin Sheng's house!"
Doctor Fang didn't know why Xiao Xiong looked so anxious, so he had to go with Xiao Xiong......
The door was hidden, and after Xiao Xiong knocked on the door, no one answered, so he glanced at Doctor Fang, and the two walked in.
Qin Sheng's wife was not at home, the child was sleeping on the broken sofa, Xiao Xiong walked up the stairs, and Qin Sheng happened to drag his heavy body out of the room.
"You...... Why is it coming?!" Qin Sheng's face was full of surprise.
Xiao Xiong observed Qin Sheng's complexion, and said in a commanding tone: "I'll ask you to understand the situation, you go to the bed and lie down." ”
Doctor Fang's face was dazed, Qin Sheng hesitated, returned to the bedside, and lay down. Xiao Xiong's eyes suddenly radiated a suspicious light, and there was a large bruise on the soles of Qin Sheng's feet, which was exactly the same as Niu Sheng's situation.
With excitement and excitement on his face, Xiao Xiong grabbed Dr. Fang's arm and said, "I understand!
"What well water?" Doctor Fang was confused, he didn't understand what had happened before.
Xiao Xiong told Qin Sheng to stay at home and try not to go out, and then took Doctor Fang back to the health center.
"You go and do it immediately, find those suspected cases, and see if they have this symptom under their feet......" All the doctors gathered in the ward where Niu Sheng was according to Xiao Xiong's instructions, Xiao Xiong pointed to the soles of Niu Sheng's feet, and said in a hurried tone.
The doctors all showed surprised expressions, and no one knew why there was a black and purple patch on the soles of the children's feet.
Under the leadership of Dr. Fang, the doctors moved quickly and went separately to revisit the homes of the suspected patients who were on the record.
Chibang sat on the steps, smoking a smoky cigarette, his pants still dry, and his eyes looked at the two bolted chickens.
"Has there been a change?"
Looking up at Xiao Xiong standing behind him, his eyes were staring at the two chickens, and Qi Bang said with a bored expression: "No, it's fine to drink water......"
"Wait and see. ”
Before I knew it, the day passed quickly, and the lights were still on at the health center at night, and Qibang ran in from outside the house, "The chicken is dead!
The shouts dispelled Xiao Xiong's sleepiness, Xiao Xiong showed shocked and excited eyes, rushed out of the house, and looked next to the stake on the runway, two chickens fell to the ground, and Qibang kicked two feet with his feet, but there was no movement.
The reason why he wanted two chickens, instead of one chicken, Xiao Xiong thought about it very thoroughly, one chicken may have an accident, because the chicken's own reasons affect the judgment, both chickens drank well water, and now they are dead, and it is almost 100% sure that there is a problem with the well water.
Considering the similar symptoms of Qin Sheng and Niu Sheng, both of whom had drunk well water, Xiao Xiong was firm in his judgment that the source of infection was likely to be this well water!
"The well water is poisonous?!This is impossible! Everyone in the village drinks it, why are only those people sick?" said Qi Bang Ranran.
This is also what Xiao Xiong is puzzled about, the well water is the source of infection of this epidemic, and it feels a bit absurd to say it, and it has yet to be confirmed.
At least there was some progress in the investigation, Xiao Xiong was overjoyed, and his next plan was brewing in his heart.
Before six o'clock in the morning, the sound of dogs barking and chickens crowing came from the village, Xiao Xiong yawned and walked out of the ward, leaning on the railing and looking down, Niu Sheng was lying on the faucet, vomiting incessantly......
"Niu Sheng?!"
rushed to the faucet downstairs, Xiao Xiong hurriedly helped Niu Sheng and helped him into the ward.
Niu Sheng's coma was caught off guard, Xiao Xiong was at a loss, and he couldn't make Niu Sheng wake up with his internal strength, and his mood that had just turned sunny fell into an endless haze.
Sitting in the ward with his eyes closed and contemplating incense, following the clues he currently has to reason forward again and again, a variety of hypotheses, another self in his mind, Xiao Xiong in his previous life reminded Xiao Xiong, he ignored one point, all diseases related to internal organs, need a herb as a medicine primer, this medicine is called rootless grass, many medical practitioners think it has long been extinct.
"The suspected cases that died were all caused by organ failure... Could it be..."Xiao Xiong's mind ached, and he suddenly opened his eyes.
Standing in the courtyard of the health center, which is only more than ten square meters, Xiao Xiong looked up at the sky, and remembered an old saying for a moment: one side of the water and soil raises the other side, and if there is a problem with the water here, you may be able to find an antidote from here, a strong intuition in the dark.
After hesitating, he made a seemingly abrupt decision and woke up Qibang, who was still asleep, "Let's go, follow me up the mountain to collect medicine." ”
Qi Bang was half asleep, his brain was not completely fresh, he rubbed his eyes and said, "Where are you going?"
"In the mountains, I'm going to find a herb. Xiao Xiong said and walked out of the house.
Niu Sheng's physical state is too weird, although he is unconscious, Xiao Xiong has checked his pulse, there is no danger to his life, if he wants to wake him up, maybe he should make a bold attempt, the consequences are unknown.
