Chapter Ninety-Nine: People Are Panicking
Just after lunch, Xiao Yu hurried to Mu's house and asked Li Yan to hurry to the mansion.
didn't bother to ask more, Li Yan followed Xiao Yu to find that the problem was much more serious than he imagined.
Liu Yi explained what had happened in the past few days with a solemn expression.
"Recently, a lot of people have been feeling strange diseases, and many of the bigger hospitals in the city have been treated, but they are still overcrowded, and everyone is saying that it is a plague."
"What can I do?" Although Li Yan is also worried, in addition to having more yin and yang eyes than ordinary people, he can't help them see a doctor!
"Go and keep order in the city, and see what's unusual." Liu Yi lowered his voice, "Even the former imperial doctor Lu Yi can't see what the disease is, don't you think it's strange?" ”
He has seen Lu Yi's medical skills, Li Yan is also very admired, he also heard the name of Lu Imperial Doctor when he was in the capital, and now it is really strange that he can't even see a small illness.
Liu Yi didn't have much to do, and Li Yan also felt that something was wrong, so he went directly to the Lin Family Medical Hall where Lu Yi was.
"It hurts!"
"It's hot!"
"Doctor, help me."
……
The screams in the Lin Family Medical Hall came and went, the chairs were full of patients, and there were even a lot of lying on the ground, and there was no place to stay, making people feel like they had entered a prison on earth.
Li Yan frowned and walked into the back room, Lu Yi happened to see a patient, and asked the medicine boy to send him out, taking advantage of this gap, he stepped forward and asked a few words.
"Doctor Lu, what the hell is going on?"
"A few days ago, Lin Antuo sent me a message that he had met a few people in the city who were suffering from strange diseases and wanted me to come here. I rushed over and found that these people were hot, often out of breath, and had a much faster pulse than the average person. Lu Yi sighed helplessly, "It's strange that I have never recorded this disease in medical books." ”
Li Yan thought about it carefully, looked back at the outside of the house, and after making sure that there was no one, he asked: "I heard that you were only a few people before, and you have changed so much all of a sudden, could it be a plague?" ”
This is also what Lu Yi is most worried about, if it is really a plague, he should be more cautious, after all, this kind of thing is not trivial.
"After my observation, it is certain for the time being that this disease is not contagious, because there is no record in the medical books, so it seems that the cause can only be found from the source."
"Are there any dead?" Li Yan prefers to deal with the dead than the living.
"That's not true, I prescribed some prescriptions to detoxify the heat, and it has been relieved for the time being, but it is not a long-term solution to go on like this, in short, we must find the cause quickly." Lu Yi said in a deep voice, "There are more and more patients now, and it can't be cured just by relying on the doctors of Wudong Mansion. If the prefect doesn't report to the court, it's fine, but in any case, the next city will borrow some more doctors. ”
Li Yan nodded: "I'll leave this matter to me." ”
If you want to find out the source, you have to start with the first person who got sick.
"Who got this strange disease in the first place?"
"A woman in the north of the city, Zhang, was doing embroidery at home when she suddenly fainted, but fortunately, her man Ding Zhu came home to marry something and found that something was wrong, so he sent her over." Lu Yi continued, "If it is really a plague, Ding Zhu should also have this disease. ”
As we all know, the plague is extremely contagious, and if one person is infected, the whole family cannot escape, so it seems that it is really not.
After making sure that it was not the plague, Li Yan felt a little relieved.
Because Zhao's condition had improved a bit, and the hospital was overcrowded, Lu Yi asked them to go back to recuperate first.
After asking the address of Zhang's home, Li Yan directly searched for it.
The small courtyard was quiet, Li Yan shouted a few times but no one answered, he was about to leave, when he suddenly saw a pair of men and women walking over here, and quickly stopped the two: "Two, have you ever seen Zhang?" ”
The woman frowned: "I am, is there something wrong?" ”
Li Yan was stunned for a moment, before leaving, Lu Yi said that Zhang's body was very weak, but the woman in front of him was full of red light and vigorous steps, so she didn't look like a sick person!
After taking out the waist card, he began to probe: "You were still sick a few days ago, why did you get better all of a sudden?" ”
When Zhang Shi heard this, he immediately smiled: "I heard that Master Kongming on Zishan is very powerful, so I went with the child and his father, and the result was really good." ”
Even the imperial doctor Lu Yi couldn't see a bad disease, but he was favored by a monk?
Li Yan didn't believe it, and he continued to ask: "When you got sick that day, did you notice anything unusual?" ”
"No! After my man went out, my eight-year-old son went to the village to play with other children, while I made some embroidery at home and sold it on the street to support the family. Zhang remembered the situation that day, and was still a little afraid in his heart, "Somehow my chest was stuffy, and I felt that I couldn't breathe all of a sudden, but fortunately the child's father came back." ”
Ding Zhu was also frightened: "She kept shouting that she was uncomfortable that day, and I was so anxious that I was half dead, so I hurriedly helped her to the hospital." ”
Halfway through speaking, he suddenly became angry: "Everyone said that Dr. Lin An of the Lin Family Medical Center had superb medical skills, but he couldn't even see what the disease was, and he brought his master here, but it was still not cured." ”
"If it weren't for Dr. Lin and Dr. Lu to treat your daughter-in-law, would she be safe and sound?" Li Yan replied coldly.
Zhao Shi was not happy when he heard this: "I lived in the Lin Family Medical Center for a few days, and I was kicked out before I could get better, if it wasn't for Master Kongming's mercy, I'm afraid I would have died a long time ago." ”
Even though Kong Ming is a high monk, if you want Li Yan to believe that Kong Ming can cure the patient, he doesn't believe it.
That's it, and he couldn't tell anything if he continued to ask, Li Yan left Zhang's house and walked around the street, and sure enough, as Liu Yi said, every family hospital was crowded with patients.
Li Yan carefully observed the symptoms of those people, and as Li Luyi said, when he was thinking about what kind of illness it was, he heard a voice in his ear: "Didn't you go to the Yamen?" ”
It was Mu Bangxiang, Mu Bai said that she wanted to eat noodles, but the noodles at home ran out, and Mu Sanwei was losing her temper again, so she had to come out and buy it herself.
Li Yan hurriedly took the cloth bag in her hand: "If there is something, it will come out for a while." ”
"Then go get busy! I can carry it home on my own. Mu Bangxiang just took the flour back, but was avoided by Li Yan, she looked at him curiously, "Didn't you say that something was wrong?" ”
"Go home and say." Li Yan originally planned to go back to Yamen, but remembering that it would be much better to talk to Mu Bangxiang every time he encountered something he didn't understand, so he decided to go home first and tell her everything he saw today.
Seeing him like this, Mu Bangxiang felt more and more strange, and she didn't ask much, and sped up to keep up with Li Yan.
