CHAPTER XXII

This is the first time Qi Bing has seen the concentration of patients under the epidemic with her own eyes, she didn't even go to the hospital a few times in her previous life, when the epidemic broke out, she has been staying at home, and all scenes are watching the news, which is not so intuitive.

The first time she saw it, she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable and worried in her heart, the infected people all had numbness and despair on their faces, they were lying on the bed, their lips were bruised, mixed with blood and pus, their bodies were scratched and bleeding because of the itching, the pain and itching constantly tortured them, death kept threatening them, they were irritable and irritable, and their spirits were about to collapse, in order to prevent them from hurting other people and themselves, they were basically tied to the bed, but they kept struggling like trapped beasts, The men who came to take care of them had more or less guardedness and reluctance on their faces, and they also had a kind of long spoon, which stood at a distance and skillfully and mechanically fed the sick with the long spoon.

Qi Bing took out a flute from his bosom and explained without waiting for others to ask: "You should go to see the patients first, I have learned a few calming songs before, now let's see if I can stabilize their emotions." "Music has a magical power that can affect people's emotions.

Not to mention, Qi Bing persistently blew a few tranquilizers, which really made the people in the camp more or less calm in their hearts and no longer so irritable.

Qi Bing saw that it was almost over, so she also participated in taking care of the patients, she looked at their symptoms, while taking care of them, she frowned and thought, how did this plague come about, any epidemic could not happen for no reason, and looking at their symptoms, it was not like the plague that everyone knew about in ancient books, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt like poisoning.

On the way back in the evening, Qi Bing asked the other three about it.

"They did have signs of poisoning, but we checked it, and the things they were exposed to before they were infected were also checked one by one, and none of them were the cause of their poisoning." Yang Le actually had some conjectures at the beginning, but in the end they could not be confirmed.

"We're guessing that it's the poison of the plague itself, but we haven't heard of such a plague yet." Doctor Xian was also worried, thinking that there was something breakthrough at the time, but it still stagnated.

"Have you checked who was first found to be infected with the plague?" Qi Bing felt that it would be much easier to check from the source.

"Of course I checked this, but by that time they were already dead, and the information they got was not much different from what they got from patients now."

"What about their families."

"They are all a group of homeless people and beggars, without relatives and no reason, and everyone usually doesn't care much about them, so we can't even find out their traces before they died, we can only know where they usually appear."

"We've also checked these places, but we haven't found anything." Dr. Lin followed Yang Le's words and looked very depressed.

Qi Bing's brows were furrowed, she had no clue, she returned to the mansion, said to the others, she went straight to Chen Taishou's study, and happened to see Chen Taishou who was mixed with joy.

"Lord Chen, why is your face so grotesque?" Qi Bing just asked politely, she didn't want to ask anything, and she didn't expect him to answer, after all, there were some things that she shouldn't ask, and she had only been in the house for two days, except for the plague, it was strange what Chen Taishou could say to her.

Chen Taishou is a typical good official for the country and the people, and Corporal Lixian cherishes talents very much, usually does not put on any show, and gets along very harmoniously with his subordinates, but he was also demoted here, and he was also a big official in the capital before, so he acted more and more cautiously.

But this time, I don't know if it's because the plague has really stunned Chen Taishou's mind, and his mind may not be very clear, or if it's other reasons, he actually pulled Qi Bing into the door and complained, "... The imperial court sent someone. ”

"That's a good thing." Qi Bing looked at his expression, a little nervous, she didn't want to know too much, it was easy to get into trouble.

"It's good to send someone, but it depends on who sends... , It seems that he already knows who the person who came this time, he snorted and took a sip of tea, and almost knocked over the teacup, it seems that he is angry.

Qi Bing has read the novel and knows that Chen Taishou seems to be at odds with the eldest prince, the eldest prince can't get used to him, he feels that the eldest prince's ability is not worthy of ambition, and his demotion seems to have something to do with the eldest prince. Seeing that Chen Taishou was going to say something, she hurriedly interrupted him: "My lord, I came to you this time because I have something to ask you." ”

"Oh? Doctor Qi asked. Interrupted by Qi Bing, he also calmed down, knowing that he was too impulsive just now, and he was really angry with the eldest prince when he started saying these words to someone he had known for a short time.

"I want to ask about the whereabouts of the people who first discovered the plague."

Chen Taishou knew what was going on as soon as he heard it, "We have also checked before, but firstly, a few of them have no relatives and no reason, and no one usually cares about these beggars and homeless people, it is not easy to investigate, and secondly, the plague has become more and more serious after them, and the manpower in the house is really insufficient, so they are very busy, and gradually this matter is delayed." "After all, the top priority is to solve the plague as soon as possible, and although those few may be able to get some information, they may not be of much use.

Several other doctors knew that this plague might be unusual, but they didn't find much evidence, so they didn't tell Chen Taishou in too much detail, and Chen Taishou still thought that this plague might be plague or some plague species that he had heard about before.

Qi Bing had a hunch that she had to find the source of this plague.

After getting no information from Chen Taishou, Qi Bing took the time to go to a few places where Yang Le said that the homeless people often moved to take a look, but he didn't gain much.

But they now need to see the sick in the camps during the day, and at night, depending on their conditions, they come back in the courtyard to discuss prescriptions. Qi Bing didn't have much time to check anything, so he could only talk to Chen Taishou and let him pay attention.

Fortunately, after working hard day and night, they finally came up with a preliminary prescription, and they planned to try the effect first, and unsurprisingly, this prescription was not far from the correct prescription.

The other three were very happy, the big stone in their hearts was finally likely to be moved, and Qi Bing was also very happy, but she always felt that although this prescription was effective for this plague, it should be a little worse.

The sky was bright, Qi Bing had already come to the decoction pharmacy at the back of the camp, she was eager to see the results,

Several others also came, but people were needed in front, and only Qi Bing came.

When the others saw her, they greeted her.

Aunt Lin, the person in charge of the decoction pharmacy, saw her and asked with a smile, "Doctor Qi, today is a little earlier than usual, has the medicine been changed today?" ”

Aunt Lin was a medicine boy in her early years, and in terms of medical skills, she couldn't be a serious doctor, but she could still see one or two of small pains and illnesses, and she was also familiar with medicinal materials, and she was even more skilled in decoction, this time there were not enough people, she took the initiative to ask Ying to come to the decoction pharmacy to help, her ability was very good, and she was also enthusiastic and generous, and soon became the person in charge.

"Yes, this is a new prescription, and I don't know if it can be done, I'll come and see." Qi Bing likes this enthusiastic lady very much, and always reminds her of her grandmother who died early in her previous life.

"Don't worry, with my years of experience in reading prescriptions, I don't know if this prescription can cure everyone, but the effect will definitely be better than before."

Another young girl, Xiao Xia, also spoke: "Yes, Doctor Qi, don't worry too much, I really want to thank you and several other doctors, if it weren't for you, we don't know what would happen to Huayancheng now." ”

Others responded.

They all like Qi Bing very much, and the patients in the camp also like her the most, she doesn't talk much, but her personality is very easy-going, she takes care of the patients hard, and when she encounters some emotionally unstable patients and some emergencies, she can patiently persuade and solve them calmly.

When he was treating and caring for the sick, he often had a short chat with them like a parent before the plague came, and sometimes he would play a few beautiful soothing songs in the camp.

Sometimes the high-intensity work, the threat of the plague, even a gentle person like Dr. Yang can't help but be a little irritable. When she can clearly feel that she is about to explode, she is always able to self-regulate, suppress her emotions, and encourage others.

Moreover, as soon as she came, the whole process of preventing and controlling the plague was orderly, the number of infected people every day also decreased sharply, the number of deaths was well controlled, and even the riots of the people rarely occurred.

*******

At dawn, Qi Bing and his party came to the camp early again to check on the patient's condition, the medicine had been drunk for a while, the patient's condition of pus and blood had improved greatly, and the itchy symptoms on his body had also been greatly improved, and it seemed that he was about to be cured, but their bruised lips had not changed for a long time.

Doctor Immortal frowned, and said a little helplessly, "It seems that this prescription still can't cure this plague." ”

Qi Bing was also a little dry, but she still smiled and comforted them, "Don't be discouraged, at least we can make their situation better and buy us more time." ”

Yang Le also spoke out in time, not only to comfort everyone, but also to comfort himself, "Yes, and some of the patient's symptoms have improved, at least it shows that our direction is correct." ”

*******

Qi Bing stretched his waist after a hard day's work, and followed the other people into the carriage and returned home. The crowd continued to discuss the prescription in the carriage, and told them about the information they had received from the day's care and observation of the patient.

"Looks like we still need to know what happened to the source of this plague." Qi Bing has a hunch and finds out the source, and this plague may be completely solved.

Without waiting for others to speak, the carriage had already arrived in front of the Taishou Mansion, and the noisy voices immediately attracted their attention, Yang Le raised his hand and lifted the curtain, only to see that more than a dozen people had gathered outside the gate of the Taishou Mansion and said something excitedly, it was too noisy, they couldn't hear it clearly.
