Chapter 259: Race against Death
These circumstances made Zhou Xiaochuan couldn't help frowning, and analyzed in his heart: "Could it be that the influenza virus that broke out in Hongdou Village is actually a new type of mutant flu virus?" But why is it that all the infected people are children, but adults have no problems at all? Is it the reason for physical fitness? It shouldn't be "those elderly people, whose physical fitness can't even be compared to that of children, but they don't have any problems at all!" Also, where did this new mutant influenza virus come from? Where is the source of its infection? If the source of infection is not extinguished, these children will be infected again even if they are cured......"
One problem after another plagued Zhou Xiaochuan, making him feel anxious.
However, the most important thing now is to find a way to lower the children's body temperature! Although there is no thermometer, the temperature of the children's hot hands makes Zhou Xiaochuan sure that it is at least above forty degrees! With such a high body temperature, if you don't find a way to lower it quickly, it will be a big problem!
Through the examination just now, Zhou Xiaochuan also determined that the mysterious energy in his body's "Set Sail without Watermark" has a therapeutic effect on the new mutant influenza virus infected by the children. But the problem is that there are more than 20 sick children in the village, and with the mysterious energy in his body's "Set Sail without Watermark", it is basically impossible to treat so many children in a short period of time. Even if the mysterious energy in his body's "Set Sail Without Watermark" was enough, it would take a lot of time to treat them one by one, and he was not sure that the last few children who received treatment would really be able to survive such a person,...
After a short period of consideration, Zhou Xiaochuan finally decided to use traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture to alleviate the children's symptoms, let the body temperature of the high fever drop a little, and then use mysterious energy to treat them one by one. Although it takes some time to go through acupuncture, as long as you don't use mystical energy, the time it takes can be greatly reduced.
Zhou Xiaochuan, who had made a decision, rushed to the people around him with anxious faces and said, "Village Chief, Uncle Xiao, in our village, are there any Chinese herbs such as Coptis Huangling, Baihua Snake Tongue Herb, etc., that clear heat and detoxify?" ”
"Originally, there were, but two days ago, a Chinese herbal medicine merchant came up to the mountain**, and we sold them all......... The faces of the village chief and the children's parents turned ugly, obviously regretting how they had sold all the Chinese medicinal herbs in the first place instead of keeping some for backup.
"Why don't we organize people to pick it? Anyway, what herbs do you need? ”
At this moment, an uplifting voice suddenly sounded: "No need for medicine, we have already picked it back!" ”
It was none other than Zhou Yuanshan who said this, it was Zhou Yuanshan who returned from collecting medicine.
Because of the rain, Zhou Yuanshan's whole body was soaked, and he was also stained with a lot of thin mud. At first glance, it looks like a clay figurine. Only the back basket behind him was clean, not stained with any thin mud, and even a layer of plastic sheeting was put on it to protect from the wind and rain.
What is surprising is that beside Zhou Yuanshan, there is not only Zeng Xiangying, but also several other people who are also carrying baskets. Like Zhou Yuanshan, they were also soaked all over, just like a clay figure.
Seeing Zhou Yuanshan put the basket on the ground, and lifted the plastic sheet to reveal the Chinese herbs inside, the old village chief asked with surprise: "Yuanshan, when did you two go to pick the medicine?" Hey, isn't this Brother Duan from Shanhe Village? Why are you here? ”
Zhou Yuanshan raised his hand and wiped the muddy water on his face and replied: "When Lao Xiao came to find Xiaochuan just now, I thought that most of the children needed Chinese herbal medicines to clear heat and detoxify, so I went to collect medicine with the child's mother. Unexpectedly, I met Brother Duan and his party, who were also collecting medicine. After hearing what was going on in the village, they immediately followed us with the Chinese herbs they had picked. If it hadn't been for the sudden rain that made the mountain road slippery, we would have come back a long time ago. ”
"I see." Only then did everyone suddenly realize, and the parents of the sick children hurriedly thanked Zhou Yuanshan and them. The old village chief didn't say anything, just patted Zhou Yuanshan on the shoulder, and then said to the people from Shanhe Village: "Thank you! Your help this time, we Hongdou Village will never forget! ”…,
The people of Shanhe Village, led by Brother Duan, hurriedly said: "Old village chief, why are you polite to us? We are all a family! "What they said is also true, several villages in this vicinity are more or less related by marriage, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are a family.
"Yo, why are you still hurt?" A few people suddenly discovered that Zhou Yuanshan and them were more or less bruised with some abrasions. It seems that in order to be able to send this batch of Chinese herbs back to the village as soon as possible, Zhou Yuanshan and them have suffered a lot along the way.
Seeing this situation, the old village chief hurriedly instructed the people around him: "Hurry up and boil some hot water, let Yuanshan and Brother Duan take a hot bath, remove the cold and dampness on their bodies, and then get some anti-inflammatory and hemostatic Chinese herbs to apply to their wounds, don't let them catch a cold or get infected!" ”
"Okay, let's go." These people immediately got busy according to the old village chief's orders.
The villagers of Shanhe Village, led by Brother Duan, hurriedly said: "You don't need to take a bath or anything, right?" Now it's important to treat the children first, if there is anything you need our help with, just ask! ”
The old village chief couldn't help but laugh: "Even if you want to help, you have to wash this layer of mud on your body first, right?" Then he turned his head and asked Zhou Xiaochuan: "Come and see, which of these Chinese herbs can be used?" ”
Although Zhou Xiaochuan is a veterinarian, he has grown up in this mountain since he was a child, and the pharmacological properties of Chinese herbal medicines are also taught in Chinese medicine and veterinary medicine, so he was not at a loss in the face of these Chinese herbs, but quickly selected Chinese herbs such as white flower snake tongue grass, banlan root, purple flower ground lily grass, and Chinese herbs that nourish yin and clear fire, such as shengdi and Xuanshen: "It is these Chinese herbs, hurry up and give them to the children to drink, I hope they can play a role." ”
To be honest, Zhou Xiaochuan didn't know whether these Chinese herbs could come in handy. But at this time, you have to give it a try.
"Let's go through it." The parents of the sick child immediately took the Chinese herbs selected by Zhou Xiaochuan and ran back to their kitchen to start boiling the medicine.
Zhou Xiaochuan was not idle, and took out the tube of silver needles he was carrying, wanting to use acupuncture and moxibustion with Chinese herbal medicine to lower the children's high fever body temperature.
Because he didn't use mysterious energy, Zhou Xiaochuan didn't spend much time on each child.
After piercing the silver needle into several acupuncture points such as Dazhu, Quchi, and Waiguan, which have the effect of reducing fever, Zhou Xiaochuan taught the acupuncture technique to the child's parents, and they will give the child acupuncture. Zhou Xiaochuan, on the other hand, rushed to the sick child's house the next afternoon to continue the needle.
Of course, the acupuncture technique that Zhou Xiaochuan taught to the parents of these children is only the simplest laxative method. As for those advanced acupuncture techniques, it's not that he doesn't want to teach them, but even if they do, these children's parents can't learn them in a short time, so they can only be time-consuming and laborious.
Now that he is in a race with death, Zhou Xiaochuan doesn't want to waste time!
Although it barely solves the problem of needles, I will not waste my time on needles, and I can squeeze out time to give more children needle treatment. But soon Zhou Xiaochuan discovered another problem: first, there was not much left of the silver needle he was carrying! At this time, there are still eight children who have not had needles.
Zhou Xiaochuan raised his eyebrows, and hurriedly asked the old village chief who was helping next to him, "Is there a silver needle in our village?" ”
"Silver needle?" The old village chief really didn't know much about this matter, so he hurriedly asked people to ask from door to door, but the final result was very disappointing, and there was no family in Hongdou Village that had prepared a silver needle.
Without the silver needle, Zhou Xiaochuan could only change the treatment method. After pondering for a while, he took out the box of golden nine needles that Fang Jingtang gave him, and planned to treat the remaining eight children with bloodletting therapy first, and when the time for the first few children to perform acupuncture was up, he would go back and take out the silver needles and rush over to prick the eight children.
When the silver needle is pierced, the children's parents can also be asked to help carry out the needle, but when using the sharp needle for bloodletting therapy, Zhou Xiaochuan can only rely on him alone.
After performing bloodletting therapy on these eight children, and running around again, the silver needle in the "Qihang Jian Watermark" in front of the children's body was pierced into the "Qihang Jian Watermark" of the eight children's bodies after disinfection, and when the needles were completed, Rao is Zhou Xiaochuan was full of physical strength, and a piece of fine sweat appeared on his forehead.
Although this series of actions did not use mysterious energy, it still consumed a lot of spirit and strength, after all, it was completed in a very short time. If it weren't for Zhou Xiaochuan's body, which was far beyond ordinary people, comparable to the master of national art in the Yi Jin Realm, I am afraid that he would have been exhausted and paralyzed to the ground! Not to mention anything else, just looking at the few people who have been following him to help with chores, they are all so tired that they can't walk anymore. These helpers are all good guys in the mountains, and they are very strong, and they will not shout tired even after a whole day of farm work. But now, they can't bear it. This shows how difficult it is to accomplish these things in a short period of time!
Just when Zhou Xiaochuan was taking a breather after giving the last child a needle, the old village chief who was excited to "set sail without watermarking" rushed into the house and announced an encouraging news: "Xiaochuan, the children are starting to have a fever!" The fever is gone! ”
