Chapter 128: The Plague
After the dish came up, the three of them devoured it, of course, even if they gobbled it up, they still paid attention to their image, and they still looked more elegant than when Li Siyu ate regardless of the image.
Seeing that they had almost eaten, Li Siyu asked what was going on with them and how they could have come to this.
Instinctively told Li Siyu that these people were not professional beggars, and they should have suffered a sudden change in their family. That's why she asked.
Only after this question did I know that the town in front of me was flooded, and the men of their family were drowned in the water to save them. They had fled here and planned to return when the flood waters receded. The nearby town is said to be full of refugees.
Floods occur just after the beginning of spring, which is really rare, but fortunately, the affected area is not large.
The disaster relief was handled by its own imperial court, and the affected area was not large and the number of people was small. I believe that the imperial court can deal with it quickly. So Li Siyu and they didn't plan to meddle in this matter. However, the flood drowned some people and animals, and the carcasses of these animals were not disposed of in time, and after a long time of soaking in the water, they stinked and rotted, polluting the river. After drinking the water from the river, nearby villagers have symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea, and some have lost their lives due to high fever. The worst thing is that the disease is contagious.
Clearly, the flood was followed by a plague.
Fang Yu is a doctor, although he is not enthusiastic on weekdays, he is not too indifferent. He could not bear to see the people suffer. King Qi is a person who is full of enthusiasm for people, and he is very concerned about people's livelihood. After learning that there was a plague in a nearby town, he asked Fang Yu to stay and treat the villagers.
Although Li Siyu was anxious to find medicine for Cao Dagongzi, she couldn't selfishly let so many people go, so she also agreed to stay and treat the villagers and stabilize the epidemic.
So they went to a town where the plague was most severe. In order to prevent the plague from spreading, the town has been quarantined, and only entry and exit are allowed.
Fang Yu meant that he could enter the town alone, and let Li Siyu wait for him outside. However, King Qi did not agree. King Qi said that it was he who asked Fang Yu to treat the villagers, and he should accompany Fang Yu to go.
Li Siyu wants to help the villagers. Do something for them. So they will follow.
Tong Mu tried his best to stop Li Siyu, saying that she couldn't go, and Li Siyu naturally wouldn't listen to him. Instead, she left the White Tiger behind and let Tong Mu take care of the White Tiger outside.
Tong Mu was naturally reluctant in his heart. However, Li Siyu still managed to let him stay.
There was only one doctor in a town full of plague patients. This made King Qi very angry. He thought that in the face of disasters and epidemics, the court officials would handle it well, but he never thought that the court officials would be so perfunctory. Except for the fact that the patient was immediately isolated, the rest was really unbearable.
There are hundreds of patients in a town, and there is only one doctor. And this doctor is the same person who originally lived in this town. It is enough to see that the officials of the imperial court did not send doctors over at all.
After going to the town to learn about the situation, they learned that there were not enough medicinal herbs in the town. The king of Qi was immediately angry, took his token, and ordered the officers and soldiers guarding the town to find the county order in charge of this area.
The county magistrate was frightened when he learned that the king of Qi was staying in a town full of plagues. You must know that King Qi is one of the most favored sons of the emperor today, if he has three longs and two shorts in his jurisdiction, his head will not be saved. So he hurried to Xiangtang Town. Let the king of Qi be invited out. However, he did not invite the king of Qi, but was invited in by the king of Qi.
Almost all the people in Xiangtang Town are plague people, and if he enters the town, he will easily contract the plague. So he was naturally reluctant to go. How. The king of Qi is a high-ranking and powerful prince, and if he lets him in, he naturally has to go.
So Qian County Ling trembled and entered Xiangtang Town.
King Qi said: "Qian County Ling you really love the people like a son, and when you learned that there was a large-scale plague in Xiangtang Town, you personally came to command and control the epidemic." ”
This is a great irony.
Qian County ordered: "The lower officials are ashamed. However, His Royal Highness the King of Qi personally came to help everyone control the plague problem regardless of his own safety. It should be a model for the lower officials to learn. Xiaguan has already dispatched a lot of doctors over, and I believe that under the leadership of His Royal Highness King Qi, the epidemic will soon be controlled. ”
In fact, the reason why King Qi "invited" Qian County Order was because of this idea. Qian Xian ordered himself to be in a town full of plagues, in order to protect himself and prevent himself from being infected with the plague, he would definitely do his best to control the plague in the town and treat the infected people with all his might.
King Qi said: "Doctor Fang heard that there was a plague in Xiangtang Town. Specially here to help. With him, presumably the plague will soon be able to be controlled. All you need to do is support Doctor Fang. ”
When Qian County Ling heard that Doctor Fang was here, his heart was at ease. Fang Yu's name as a divine doctor was not blown out, and in his heart, there was no disease that Fang Yu couldn't cure. So he was full of confidence in curing the plague among the villagers of Xiangtang Town.
At this time, even if King Qi did not speak. He will also strongly support Fang Yu.
Fang Yu and Li Siyu treated patients together, and these days Li Siyu has read a lot of medical books in order to find a prescription for treating the eldest son. I have some understanding of various diseases, but traditional Chinese medicine pulse diagnosis requires practical experience, so Li Siyu helps patients diagnose and take care of patients while learning from Fang Yu.
After being busy for a while, Fang Yu asked Li Siyu what he thought of this plague. Li Siyu wrote some methods to control the plague. For example, villagers should stop drinking river water and drink well water and mountain spring water as much as possible, such as paying attention to personal hygiene and using mugwort leaves to smoke and disinfect every day.
Li Siyu wrote a three-page note full of notes, and then gave it to Fang Yu, "If you think the above is feasible, let people copy some of it, distribute it to the villagers, and let them do it according to the above." ”
Fang Yu took a closer look at what Li Siyu had written, and then said, "You are too thoughtful, if the villagers do what you wrote, they will definitely be able to curb the worsening of the epidemic." Coupled with medication, the plague problem should be resolved quickly. ”
Fang Yu felt that although he had practiced medicine for many years, he was still inferior to Li Siyu in many aspects. At least he couldn't think of so many ways to prevent the plague.
In fact, it can't be said that Fang Yu is inferior to Li Siyu, because the reason why Li Siyu knows these is that she is standing on the shoulders of giants. What she learned was the crystallization of the 5,000-year-old wisdom of the Chinese nation.
The experience and wisdom that had only been condensed for five thousand years was naturally not something that Fang Yu alone could think of. It's normal for him not to understand.
Li Siyu said: "If you think it's okay, then let's do it according to the above." As for how to give medicine to the villagers, I listen to you. ”
Li Siyu felt that he had only learned the surface and did not dare to prescribe medicine to patients at will. Therefore, in terms of medication, she hopes that Fang Yu will call the shots. (To be continued.) )
