Chapter 15: The Spread of the Plague
Mu Lizi scratched herself vigorously on the bed, and wherever the pus was cracked, she scratched it indecently, and her fingertips were full of pus.
Doctor Li was dressed in white like snow, and it was the first time he had seen such a scene, but he just watched it from a distance, but when he got closer, he couldn't help but dislike it.
Pus is so dirty!
I didn't know what to do for a while, so I went out to ask Lin Qian for help.
Lin Qian entered the house to see Mu Lizi's condition, and couldn't help frowning.
"Doctor Li, how should this be treated?"
Doctor Li saw that she had smoked mugwort and that Li had improved, so he felt that she had some use.
He first used the prescription he knew to Li Shi, and Li Shi slept more peacefully, but when he fed Mu Lizi the medicine, it was useless, but it caused him to start scratching his pustules.
"I don't know this very well, I think it should be Mu Lizi who got sick first, and then it was transmitted to Li's, Li's symptoms are milder, so drinking medicine is still somewhat useful, but Mu Lizi's body is suppurated, I'm afraid he won't live long."
Who says you won't live long?
Lin Qian saw that he cherished the clothes on his body very much, and thought that either this dress was given by the person he cherished, or he only had this good clothes, but looking at his situation, it should be the latter situation.
In this era, the common people are rarely able to eat and dress well, and the clothes on his body have to be saved for two or three years just by his meager income from treating diseases and saving people, and the tools in his medicine box are all good, so it naturally took a lot of time, but it should be cherished.
Looking at his age about the same as Mu Luan, he must have reached the age of discussing relatives and needed face.
Lin Qian looked down at the coarse cloth clothes on her body, it was really a world of difference compared to him.
"Can Doctor Li trust me, a little girl? You have to think about it clearly, at this moment, it is you and I who are saving people in this house, and when you get out of this house, the villagers will definitely think that it is your fault if Brother Li has an accident, I was just pulled by you to help take care of the patient! ”
Anyway, Lin Qian still wants to see if he is frank enough, it is a golden formula that gathers the wisdom of hundreds of schools, and when the time comes, the credit for her success in rescuing Mu Lizi is his, but she won't do it!
Lin Qian's current situation can't help but give her the idea of wanting to make a splash in this situation.
She thought about it carefully, and it was also because 'Lin Qian' was cowardly enough that the Yang family and the Cai family wanted to bully her, to put it bluntly, they were bullying the soft and afraid of the hard.
As long as she has enough confidence and ability to change the status quo, they will definitely come up and hug her lap like a dog!
Doctor Li saw that the little girl was confident, and there must be a way, but she was afraid that she would be robbed of her credit.
"Even if you try to cure it, I won't rob you of the credit!"
Lin Qian rummaged through Dr. Li's medicine box to find some commonly used silver needles, medicinal powder, gauze, etc., and went to the kitchen to re-boil the pot of hot water and divide it into two basins.
First, he gave Mu Lizi a needle to make him fall asleep, lit a candle, baked a silver needle on the fire to break the pus on his body, and asked Doctor Li to hand her a clean handkerchief to wipe it, and then wrapped him in a circle of gauze.
In such a cycle, Lin Qian excused herself that it was the most effective way to treat plums, but it might not be useful to others, so she asked Doctor Li to fry three bowls of water to make a bowl.
When Doctor Li left, he deliberately smoked mugwort, went back to the courtyard to change into a coarse cloth clothes that he had worn before, and took enough medicinal materials to go back to Mu Lizi's house.
Because of Lin Qian's treatment, Mu Lizi's condition improved, and he didn't scratch himself as hard as before.
Li showed signs of waking up, but he only moved and closed and fell asleep.
Lin Qian pinched the tweezers and struggled to pick up the silver needles in the hot water basin and put them on the clean handkerchief, and wiped them more than twice.
"Divine Doctor Li, Divine Doctor Li, save people!"
A group of people ran noisily outside the door, gathered outside the fence of Mu Lizi's house.
Doctor Li was decocting the medicine, put down the rag and asked them about their condition from a distance of three feet, for fear of passing the plague on to them.
Like Li's, he had a rash all over his body, and in severe cases, he had pustules like Mu Lizi.
Doctor Li entered the house to discuss with Lin Qian, and Lin Qian suddenly felt that it was too late at this moment, and hoped that Mu Luan had returned home safely.
"How many people are infected with the plague now?"
Doctor Li looked at the villagers outside the fence, but they were all girls or little girls who taught each other husband and children, and they should all be the heads of the family who had contracted the plague.
"The number of afflictions is a little large."
Lin Qian stroked her forehead and said that she was speechless, and the villagers really waited until they had no choice before coming to seek medical treatment.
"Doctor Li, let's see if you can ask the villagers to take the initiative to match, and also record who they have been in contact with recently, so as to distinguish and observe. I thought it would be better to bring all the sick people here, or the plague would spread very quickly, and soon the whole village would be plagued. ”
Doctor Li didn't know why, but he felt that it was always right to obey her.
Lin Qian suddenly reacted, was he listening to her now?
There was joy in my heart, but it was gradually replaced by worry.
I don't know what happened to Mu Luan?
Mu Luan ran all over the village, but no one did what he said, and many people thought he was crazy.
When I went back to the yard and didn't see Yang, I saw Cai's smashing and scolding, and when I saw him, I was so frightened that I picked up my skirt and ran away, and I fell when I crossed the threshold.
Mu Luan heard that people kept shouting for help outside the door, so he forgot to look at it, as if they were all concentrated in front of the fence door of Mu Lizi's house, and after a while, he saw Doctor Li leave the place with everyone.
Thinking of something, he hurriedly ran to Mu Lizi's house and knocked on the door.
Lin Qian came to open the door, but before she could see the comer, she was pushed into the house, and she was deprived of some light again.
"Qian'er, are you okay, no one saw you and Doctor Li in the same room, and you weren't gossiped, right?"
Mu Luan looked at Lin Qian worriedly, but Lin Qian only had a pair of eyes exposed, full of doubts.
"Didn't I tell you to go to the villagers, but no one answered you?"
Mu Luan shook his head and said, "I went so rashly to inform the villagers that naturally no one cared about it, I just saw Doctor Li take the villagers there, he should be able to." ”
Lin Qian nodded, "Don't worry, I made it clear to him." ”
Mu Luan looked at the two people lying on the kang, who seemed to be better, turned to Lin Qian again, and said curiously, "How do you understand this?" ”
When Lin Qian saw the sewing box, she sewed a pair of gloves to pass the time, and her mind was not on Mu Luan, thinking that he was asking her about her needlework again.
"Isn't it normal for a girl to learn needlework?"
Mu Luan looked at the object in her hand, it looked like a hand, so she reached out to take it, "Is this for me?" ”
Lin Qian slapped his hand away, tied the knot and bit off the silk thread, turned the glove over and put it on his hand before saying, "It's convenient for you to try to get something first, the smaller the better!" ”
Mu Luan saw that there was a candlestick on the table to get it, it was very convenient, it was very convenient to change a lot of things and take it, but it was difficult to be stuffed with a needle, "I can't pinch the needle, what are you here, what's the use?" ”
