223 Plague

In the end, half of the people present were already dumbfounded, Qi Ling nodded with half understanding and half understanding, but he admired Su Qi very much in his heart.

The group of imperial doctors led by Imperial Physician Chen didn't say more than half a word, and they couldn't imagine that this little girl hadn't reached the end of her life, but she had considered it so thoroughly at a young age, thinking about the people and the patients everywhere, and the big guys couldn't help but look at Su Qi and her eyes.

Murong Qin listened and wrote it down carefully, and then took Qi Ling to the barracks, arranged for people to make a public announcement, closed the city gate, and at the same time sent a hundred soldiers to search for the corpse in the whole city, and burned one place when he found one, if it entered the river and entered the soil, it was salvaged and dug up and burned together, and ordered that no one should go out at will whether it was day or night, and then sent a hundred soldiers to search for the plague patients and their close contacts, and managed them in two places, one was named the patient's residence, and the other was to be determined. 1,000 soldiers went to all parts of the city every day to sweep and scatter medicinal wine, burn vinegar wine, etc., and the remaining 100 soldiers took care of the sick and assisted the doctors, and finally 10,000 soldiers guarded the city gates.

On the same day, more than 900 patients gathered in the patient's residence, and there were more than 1,300 people in the pending pavilion, and there was not enough manpower for a while, so Murong Qin sent another 1,000 soldiers to take care of it, and publicized it among the masses, recruiting people who volunteered to come to help, giving priority to women, and successfully recruited more than 100 women in less than half a day, all of whom were taken away by the county lord of Qiling.

Although it is busy everywhere, it is busy but not chaotic. Su Qi had four people at hand to assist, two of them followed from the imperial capital, Qi Ling not only took care of Xicheng Hou every day, but also helped Su Qi in the rest of his time.

The night was already deep, and the lights in Su Qi's tent were still on.

On the third day of arriving in Xicheng, the number of sick people in the Curie had increased to more than 1,500, and the number of people in the pending cabinet had been reduced to more than 900, which meant that the contagiousness of the plague was extremely powerful. The plague will only increase day by day!

Now. What Su Qi is most worried about is this radical treatment prescription!

She did not come from a Chinese medicine background, if it is placed in modern times, such a condition should be regarded as an epidemic infectious disease, but the lung infection is more serious. Highly transmissible. In the period of high fever, the symptoms of poisoning throughout the body are relatively severe. After two days of closer observation, she saw that it looked like a specific bacterial infection, but she didn't know exactly what kind of virus it was. If there are antibiotics, even penicillin must have a good effect at the moment. It's just that in this ancient society in the wilderness, where do you tell her to get an antibiotic for a child who is studying Western medicine?

Su Qi really didn't know what to do, in the past two days, she had a high fever after looking at Xicheng, her whole face was red and red, and her mouth was full of ulcers, exuding a foul smell, constantly bleeding black blood-colored pus, convulsions more and more frequently, gibberish from time to time, and Qi Ling's hoarse voice pleading......

Su Qi sighed and put down the pen.

Murong Qin walked in, he made a silent movement, and at the same time waved his hand to send out those Banxiang and Chu Qing who were waiting with him.

This time Granny Dusty didn't follow, Su Qi asked her grandmother to go back to Cenzhou together, since she knew that Granny Dusty was extraordinary, Su Qi always sent her to call for Mrs. Su, and said: "Mother-in-law, I have Chu Qing by my side, how do you want to know her martial arts better than me, whether you go out or go anywhere in the future, even if you walk at night, you can rest assured that Chu Qing is with me, except for the loyal Granny Wang, there are only some rough girls left, you know, What I miss most in my heart is my grandmother, this goes to Cen Zhou, although it is my own home, but I can't guarantee that there will be any chaos, if you are by my grandmother's side, I will go to the northwest This heart can also be much more steady......"

Chen Su has always been a reasonable person, although he didn't worry about Su Qi, but he didn't say more than half a sentence and accepted it.

Su Qi was very happy.

"It's late at night, you're tired all day, so let's rest for a while." Murong Qin said. He leaned down and hugged Su Qi from behind.

It has entered August, although the enthusiasm of the autumn tiger is still there, but in the middle of the night in Xicheng, which is located in the northwest, such an embrace is still warm.

Su Qi didn't struggle, closed his eyes and relaxed.

Murong Qin rubbed Su Qi's sideburns lovingly, and said softly: "There are so many imperial doctors, not to mention that the plague is incurable, when I left, the imperial grandmother said that the plague is a natural disaster, and sometimes manpower is also difficult to resist, don't worry too much, I heard that you have not eaten well in the past two days, and you have almost not slept well, wouldn't you be tired of yourself if you go on like this?" ”

"Obedient, Ah Qin is here, will Ah Qi sleep?" The delicate and gentle words swirled in his ears, and Su Qi sighed and fell asleep obediently.

Murong Qin blew lightly, and the bean lamp in front of the table immediately went out.

Before the sun came out, Su Qi opened her eyes, and as soon as she moved, Murong Qin beside her also woke up, and he said, "It's still early, you can sleep again." ”

Su Qi insisted on sitting up, and she said, "I can't sleep." ”

As she spoke, she moved her body and moved two inches away from Murong Qin.

It has been several months since ancient times, and this is the first time she has slept on the same couch so intimately with a man, even if she was so unclear with the Xuanwu Yicheng guy before, but this is the first time to sleep together, thinking of Murong Qin's big hand on his waist, Su Qi's face was pale.

Murong Qin looked at Qi Niang's increasingly red complexion, and smiled quietly, but it was a pity that this fashion was in Xicheng to treat the plague, not the time to talk about love.

He asked, "But you're still thinking of a cure for the plague?" ”

The best way to divert attention is to shift your focus.

Sure enough, Su Qi immediately looked at it, nodded, and said, "I'm just used to using acupuncture, but I don't know much about the medical pharmacology of Chinese medicine." It's like how to reduce fever, I know how to do it, but my methods can only reduce fever for a while, but I can't solve this high fever problem from the root, so that within half an hour, Xicheng Hou has a high fever again. ”

"It's not your fault that you don't understand this. What's more, my father and grandmother sent you here to help treat the plague and stabilize the people's hearts, and now your ideas are very good, yesterday the soldiers came to report, the plague corpses that can be found in the West City have all been burned, and the number of people sent to the sick house and the pending pavilion yesterday has been reduced by half compared to the previous days. This all shows that the plague is already being brought under control step by step. At least there is no further diffusion and spread, I have already written a fold to explain to my father that these methods are your Su Muli's idea, and you should be happy! ”

Su Qi didn't think so. "Achin. Do you also think that the plague is a natural disaster? You can't do it without manpower? ”

Murong Qin was stunned by the question. He said, "The plague came so suddenly, and spread so quickly, both the little lady and the young child, who were helpless. The soldiers who are still strong and strong are not spared, and even the Xicheng Marquis, who has the "name of the victorious general" and bravely killed countless enemies! ”

"I don't know if the plague is a natural disaster, but I heard that the people have provoked these rumors, and the father and grandmother also led all the officials of the previous dynasty to pray for blessings in the Jiu Neng National Temple. Ah Qi, don't force yourself too much, the plague is inherently incurable, and although it can't be said whether it is manpower that cannot be done, but judging from the current situation, at least it is difficult for manpower to do! ”

"That'...... If you can't find a cure for the plague in the end, you ...... What are you going to do? Su Qi looked at Murong Qin and asked word by word.

She had an answer in her mind, but she asked anyway.

"Incinerate, burn!" Murong Qin said.

"All the plague sufferers?" Su Qi asked.

"No, it's the whole West Side!"

Su Qi sat on the couch......

On that day, she stayed in the sick house for a day and never came out.

On the tenth day, among the imperial doctors who came to the Tai Hospital, there was an old imperial physician surnamed Cai who began to cough, and within the second day, he started a high fever.

On the evening of that day, Su Qi summoned these imperial doctors and the doctors who had come from the private collection in the tone of the county lord of Qiling and started a small meeting.

During this time, in addition to her close contact with the patients, the rest of her time was to go to the various imperial doctors to ask for advice, what kind of herbs have anti-infection effects, what herbs can detoxify, and what herbs can enhance resistance while reducing fever, but unfortunately, more than half of the imperial doctors led by the deputy judge of the Tai Hospital sneered at her, and the remaining old doctors, either they couldn't understand what she said after listening to it for a long time, or they were humble and only said "don't dare, don't dare", yes, Su Qi didn't ask for anything during this time.

Murong Qin said that Emperor Rende issued a secret order for one month, and if he couldn't find a good way to cure the plague, the imperial court would send people to burn the city again!

Ten days have passed, and they really don't have much time left!

"Seniors, it's been hard lately!" Su Qi bowed respectfully and saluted, and Imperial Physician Chen glanced sideways, if it weren't for Murong Qin still sitting on one side, I was afraid that he would have gotten up and strode away at this time.

"The recipe for the plague, everyone still hasn't come up with it, Su Qi saw that all the seniors have been busy with their own lives recently, different recipes and different medicinal materials, but none of them have a good effect, Su Qi thought, no matter how much a person's wisdom is, it is still one, if the big guys get together and discuss and develop together, there will be different results! As the saying goes, three stinkers have beaten one Zhuge Liang, if the seniors can discuss together regardless of their identities, we will definitely be able to overcome this plague! Su Qi said loudly.

"Counsel together? What is the idea of the Su family lady? Deputy Yuan Chen said coldly, "The big guy knows, our Majesty Rende has made a holy decree, everything can come up with a cure for the plague, reward a thousand gold, give a thousand households, and follow it from generation to generation, the seventh lady of the Su family is a daughter, and the only orphan of General Changfeng, with the name of the general's mansion, the lady of the Su family naturally does not need to be blushing and hot for the little Qianhu Hou, but we old men are fighting for an old life in Xicheng, where the plague is spreading." Who doesn't hang his head on the waistband of his trousers for that Qianhu Hou? ”

"If we discuss it together, this imperial physician wants to ask the seven ladies of the Su family, how should the seats of the thousand households be divided at that time?"

As soon as these words came out, both the imperial doctors and the doctors recruited by the people all started to talk about it.

Su Qi blushed with a bitter face, the Marquis of Qianhu, it is still a person who can be passed down from generation to generation, such a bad idea is so bad that the old emperor of benevolence can think of it, isn't it obvious that he doesn't want the big guy to come up with a way to cure the plague, and strive for fame and fortune?

The fanaticism of the ancient people for fame and fortune Su Qi even if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, but in those costume TV series and ancient novels in his previous life. She still watched a lot. Not to mention these old doctors who have been infected in the palace for decades and have not yet mixed up with a passable official position!

They have not been openly fighting for a long time, and they can be regarded as being polite and law-abiding, Su Qi thought, if one day one of the imperial doctors among them came up with a way to cure the plague. I don't know what kind of chaos it will be. What a head breaks the blood flow. openly scolding and reprimanding, you will get drunk when you think about it!

Well, Su Qi was already speechless!

"Ladies and gentlemen. Can you listen to the words of this prince? Seeing this, Murong Qin opened his mouth.

He ignored Su Qi's surprised gaze, and continued: "The prince knows about the Marquis of Qianhu that Imperial Physician Chen said, but I don't know if Imperial Physician Chen knows what kind of punishment the plague will be imposed if it is not properly treated?" ”

"Punishment?" The Imperial Physician Chen screamed in shock, and he immediately said: "Even the Empress Dowager has said that this kind of plague is a natural disaster, not something that can be done by manpower, and the National Master of Jiu Neng has already asserted that it is some, since it is something that cannot be done by manpower, how can we imperial doctors be punished if we fail to treat the plague?" Natural disasters are ahead, it's not that I can't wait for my best efforts! ”

"Yes, yes, what Vice President Chen said is very true. I waited day and night in Xicheng to treat the plague patients, and I struggled to think of ways to treat the plague, these efforts The three princes should see with their own eyes, the plague is a natural disaster, it is not done by man, how can it punish us in turn? ”

"Your Majesty and the Queen Mother have gone to the Jiu Neng National Temple to pray for blessings, natural disasters naturally need the help of the Son of Heaven, I am waiting for the body of grass mustard, even if I give up my life here, I am afraid that I am powerless to change!"

"I still hope that the third prince will say a word for our old bones, and I hope that the third prince will pity our old bones and work hard every day!"

The indignant, the frightened, the begging, the uproar.

Su Qi turned his face away in disgust, these words were not thought of by those old bones.

"This prince's words have not been finished yet, is Imperial Doctor Chen too anxious?" Murong Qin said lightly.

For a moment, the room immediately fell silent.

"Is the plague a natural disaster, but the prince doesn't dare to jump to conclusions, but the punishment for not curing the plague is ironclad! Father Emperor has made a clear decree, within a month, if the people in the hospital can not effectively treat the disease of the plague, immediately remove the name of the imperial doctor, demote to civilians, and never hire again, if it is a solicited folk doctor, it is strictly forbidden to practice medicine again, the father said, and now there are too many quacks with poor medical skills, this time with the plague, you can also take a good look, which is useful! ”

"Now the January period has passed, everyone, do it yourself!" After speaking, Murong Qin got up leisurely, flicked the dust that could not be seen at the cuffs, and left with a light smile.

Until his figure disappeared, those imperial doctors who were still paying attention to their identities came to Su Qi one by one.

"Lady of the Su family, you are asking the old body about the medicinal materials today, the old body has been thinking about it for most of the day before he finally came up with some eyebrows, I will write it to you, okay?"

"Lady of the Su family, you are right, how can we each come up with a cure for the plague with such a guess? What do you mean by that, three...... Three Stooges ......"

"It's the three stinkers who beat Zhuge Liang, you can't remember what the lady of the Su family said so reasonably, I think you are too old, Your Majesty sent you this time I am afraid that most of them are for the sake of replenishment, you have to be leisurely! Su family lady, look at it, when is it appropriate for us to discuss, I have a lot of ideas to say, but first, I have been busy recently, and secondly, there is no such a good opportunity, and in the future, I still have to worry about arranging it for the Su family......"

"And we still have us, this lady, although we are barefoot doctors in the people, we dare not compare with the adults in the Tai Hospital. But we grew up in Xicheng since childhood, and we are very familiar with the topography of Xicheng and the location of herbs in the mountains. ”

You say everything I say, and it's not lively.

Su Qi crooked her mouth and smiled very happily, she said loudly: "You can be like this, Su Qi is grateful." ”

As he spoke, he bowed deeply to the big guy.

How could those imperial doctors and doctors dare to accept such a big gift from Su Qi, and they knelt down and worshiped one by one.

Outside the house. Murong Qin smiled at the corner of his mouth. Stride away.

Although it is a lie, as long as it can help Su Qi, it is a great thing!

Since that day, Su Qi has become more and more busy. Discuss anti-infective herbs. Then the local doctors will take them to the picking. Finally, boiling, feeding the medicine, and then careful observation, a process is at least more than three days. But the high fever of Xicheng Hou still did not subside. People are already confused, if it weren't for the high-grade ginseng brought by Qi Ling, I'm afraid that the breath would have been gone.

"Su Qi, Su Qi, what should I do, is my father not saved? Su Qi, I only have such a father, you must help me save my father, you must not give up on him! Qi Ling cried hoarsely.

"Okay, we won't give up, Qi Ling, don't worry, I, Su Qi, have fought for this life, and I must rescue the soldiers and people of Xicheng Hou and Xicheng!" Su Qi hugged the Qiling County Lord and said firmly.

Just now, the little soldier who took care of the Marquis of Xicheng died of illness, and he burned for eight days and eight nights, even if he was hung by the superior ginseng of the county lord of Qiling, he still couldn't bear it and let go......

When the county lord of Qiling heard the news, he fainted with fright.

Half a month has passed, the number of patients has increased to more than 2,000, the number of people in the pavilion has reached 3,000, and now the number of people who are carried out of the patient residence and burned every day has reached 500 people, more and more soldiers in the West City have begun to be silent, the shadow of death on the face of the ashes can be seen everywhere, the burning flames can be seen everywhere in the West City, even in the middle of the night in the mountains and fields, there are countless fires, illuminating the whole West City brightly, the billowing smoke, the pungent smell of smoke, and the wail that is getting smaller and smaller......

Su Qi was so suffocated that he couldn't breathe.

Until one day, she met a little girl at the gate of the city, she wore two pigtails and a small white flower, and looked straight at the closed and tall city gate, and she asked, "Sister, will this gate still be opened?" My brother said that if he can't cure the disease, he won't be able to open this door in the future, is it true? Yaya's birthday has arrived, and my father said that he will definitely come back on Yaya's birthday, but now that the city gate is closed, how can my father come back? Yaya hasn't seen her father for a long time, I don't know if my father still remembers Yaya's birthday, sister, can you let the city gate brother open the city gate for Yaya to take a look at that day, Yaya just thought about taking a look, if my father remembers, he will be waiting outside the city gate. ”

The little girl smiled and squinted, her face was flushed with joy, and Su Qiyi was stunned for a while.

How long has it been, how long has it been since she has seen such an angry face, and now, the entire Xicheng is filled with the smell of death, but there is still such a little girl who remembers her father who is out!

She put her arms around the little girl and asked, "Tell my sister, what is your birthday?" ”

"On the third day of the ninth month, my mother told Yaya." The little girl said with a smile.

"Okay, my sister will let this gate open that day!" Su Qi looked at the tall black city gate and hugged the little girl in his arms.

However, the results of the treatment have not progressed in the slightest.

Xicheng Hou has only inlet and no breath, Murong Qin has already begun to prepare for the aftermath of Xicheng Hou, Qiling County Lord has not woken up for two days after he fell unconscious at the bedside of Xicheng Hou.

Su Qishou stayed at the head of the county lord of Qiling for a whole day and night, and only after making sure that Qiling did not have a cough, fever, rash, etc., did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Qi Ling was not infected with the plague!

Su Qi began to look for the poisonous snake, and asked Murong Qin to send more than a hundred soldiers to find the poisonous snake.

She remembered the "poison needle to kill" method she had seen in the blank cheatbook, which said that when you encounter a poisoned person who is on the verge of life and death and don't know how to detoxify, you can give it a try. Su Qi thought, aren't these plague people the so-called life and death at stake? Although the plague is different from poisoning, it has been said in modern Western medicine that the so-called poisoning is divided into several kinds, including neurological toxoids, blood system toxins, and even toxins caused by various bacterial infections, although she does not know what kind of bacterial infection this plague is caused, the high fever that lasts to go away, as well as rashes, convulsions, coma and other phenomena, at least it shows that the systemic toxicity of this kind of bacteria is extremely strong, and it can also invade the whole body, does this not also indicate that it is poisoning?

It was already the twenty-fifth day, and they didn't have much time left, Murong Qin said that Emperor Rende had begun to order the garrisons outside the city to stock up on usable burning utensils, and the holy decree to burn the city was already on the way, and I heard that the border town that had been invaded by Beiyi had been reduced to ashes five days ago.

The heat-clearing and antidote that should be used, the antidote method that can be thought of, they have all tried it, using needles, medicinal baths, and forcing poison, Su Qi has used it countless times on Xichenghou, but unfortunately it still doesn't have the slightest effect!

Su Qi thought, a dead horse should be a live horse doctor, I think it is my current situation! (To be continued.) )
