Chapter 455: Finding the Antidote
Lu Qingjin was suspicious, she had studied for so long and had not found an antidote, but now she had obtained it so easily, she was a little incredulous.
After all, this is a matter of so many people's lives, and she can't be careless, but now that the plague situation is getting more and more serious, she doesn't want to give up this glimmer of hope.
After thinking about it, she decided to find a few people who were seriously ill to try it out.
Those people who have suffered from the plague have been taking the medicine given by Lu Qingjin for the past few days, but it has no effect at all, and the situation is getting worse and worse, almost desperate.
When they heard Lu Qingjin say that they wanted to change their dressings, they all looked uninterested.
"I know you've been suffering a lot lately, but wouldn't it be even more hopeless if you give up like this?" Lu Qingjin persuaded.
"Madam, it's not that we don't want to live, but after so many days, there is no improvement at all, we know very well that this disease is probably hopeless, rather than tossing so much, it is better to let us die happily."
The people lay on their beds, not moving, sighing and sighing.
Lu Qingjin was anxious and said, "How can you think like that, don't you all have families?" They're still waiting for you outside, and people come around here from time to time, so I think they're some of your family, right? How sad they must be if you die. ”
In order to avoid infection, the place where the patient lives is separated from the place where the people in the disaster area live, but every time Lu Qingjin comes here, he can see a lot of people wandering around, staring at this side for a long time before leaving.
When a patient heard Lu Qingjin's words, he thought of his family and children, and silently wiped his tears.
"People, please believe me, I will definitely have a way to save you, shall we try this medicine again? Even if it's not for your own sake, it's for the sake of worrying about your family outside. ”
After a while, a middle-aged man stood up tremblingly, his condition was already very serious, and he was the first to get sick, "No matter what, it's a death anyway, what's so terrible, madam, I'm willing to give it a try, give it to me." ”
Lu Qingjin was overjoyed, handed him the boiled medicine, he raised his head, and drank the bitter decoction in one go.
Then, a few more people stood up and were willing to give it a try.
However, Lu Qingjin didn't bring much medicine today, and only gave it to a few of them.
She beat them a few times, and the next day, she still let them drink.
Unexpectedly, the next day, the condition of the other patients continued to deteriorate, but they did not, and according to what they said, they felt a lot more relaxed.
This showed that the medicine worked, and to be on the safe side, she waited another day to observe their condition and found that the effect was very significant.
However, Lu Qingjin was not happy because of this, because Jiang Yun didn't bring much medicine, and he had already given it to these people, although they were getting better, they were not fully recovered, and what should the rest of them do?
She found Jiang Yun and asked, "Jiang Yun, can you tell me where this medicine came from?" ”
Jiang Yun replied, "It was given to me by someone else." ”
"Someone else? Do you know where this man is? Lu Qingjin asked anxiously.
Speaking of this, Jiang Yun's little face showed a little sadness, and she whispered, "I don't know, that person, I met on the way here, he said that he was about to die, and he didn't have the strength to go again, so he handed over these medicines to me, and asked me to send them to the Liang Mansion no matter what." ”
It seems that he is a kind-hearted person.
"What else does this man say? Did he say where he found it? Lu Qingjin asked again.
Jiang Yun thought about it for a while, shook his head slightly, and said, "No, he only said that this medicine can save the lives of those patients, but he didn't say where the medicine came from." ”
Lu Qingjin was a little disappointed, because she had never seen this kind of medicine, and she still thought that she could ask Jiang Yun for something, but she found nothing.
"Isn't it true that without this medicine, those who are sick will die?" Jiang Yun asked guiltily.
If only she had asked the man where the medicine had come from.
Lu Qingjin saw her loss, touched her hair with a smile, and comforted her softly, "It's okay Jiang Yun, you have done a good job, because of you, these people have hope, I will find this medicine." ”
Jiang Yun nodded heavily.
"By the way, did you come here on your own? What about your family? ”
Lu Qingjin has been busy with the antidote for the past two days, and he hasn't had time to ask about her situation.
At the mention of his family, Jiang Yun's eyes turned red, "I don't know, I was separated from them, I don't know where they are now." ”
Lu Qingjin also grieved with her, because the flood had displaced too many people.
"In that case, you can stay here for the time being, okay?"
"Okay."
Lu Qingjin comforted Jiang Yun a few more words before leaving her room.
She pressed the last remaining medicine and found Qin Zhao.
Qin Zhao saw the dried herbs in her hand and asked, "What is this?" ”
Lu Qingjin sighed and said, "This is the antidote that can cure the plague. ”
Qin Zhao was overjoyed, but saw that Lu Qingjin was not happy, so he asked suspiciously, "It's a happy thing to find the antidote, why are you sighing like this?" ”
"Your Majesty, don't you know that although this medicine can cure the plague, the concubines have never seen this medicine, and they don't know where to find it."
Qin Zhao frowned, knowing that since Lu Qingjin would say this, he must have encountered difficulties.
He thought for a moment and said, "Since this is an herb, there will definitely be people who know about it, maybe it's just uncommon, so it's better to find more people to ask." ”
He called Xiao Fuzi and instructed, "You should order someone to take this medicine and go to the nearby pharmacy to ask, if there is this herb, if there is one, buy it all." ”
This may be the only way, the owners of ordinary pharmacies, most of whom are proficient in medical skills and have read countless medicines, should be recognized.
It's a pity that this result disappointed Lu Qingjin and Qin Zhao.
After half a day, Xiao Fuzi led people to all the pharmacies in the city, and searched for all the doctors, and they all said that they had never seen such herbs.
In the end, Xiaofuzi had to take people back to the Liang Mansion in disappointment.
Lu Qingjin was anxiously waiting for the result in the courtyard of the Liang Mansion.
"How's it going, have you found it?" When Lu Qingjin saw them coming back, he hurriedly greeted them.
"Niangniang, the little one has asked all the pharmacies in the city, and the doctors have said that they have never seen this medicine."
Xiao Fuzi carefully took out the only remaining herb from his sleeve and handed it back to Lu Qingjin.
