Qingrong took the prescription and went to the shopkeeper Liao, and Jiang Changxi went to see Dr. Ping and the two medicine boys.

The symptoms of the three patients were very similar to those of the previous patient, even after being poured antipyretics, the fever did not go away, and the brain burned so much that even people could not recognize people.

What's more, because the Gu worms burrow directly into the skin, the skin they expose on the outside of their clothes has dense little red spots, which looks very oozing.

One can imagine how many of the same kind Gu worms have bred in the body of the previous foster person. At this rate of reproduction, if there are more than one person around the patient when he dies, then these people will inevitably be infected with the disease.

Jiang Changxi has only seen the disease of white bone plague in books, and the prescriptions recorded in it are incomplete because of the broken ancient books, and I am afraid that it will take some time to explore. What can be done now is to minimize human contact.

"Those young medicine boys bothered the shopkeeper to find another place to place them, and they should not come back for a short time. From now on, Tianshui Tong will be closed and will not accept any patients. Remember to inform the doctors so that they can stay home with peace of mind. ”

Jiang Changxi told Shopkeeper Liao what to do immediately after dawn, and secretly prayed that the white bone plague would only be good in Tianshui Hall. At that time, Pingzhou will be closed and the bandits will be stopped, and no other bone plague patients will enter the city, and the situation will not deteriorate further.

It's a pity that no one heard Jiang Changxi's prayers, the shopkeeper Liao originally wanted to find an inn to house the children for two days, who knew that the inn he went to died of a guest with a high fever, and the guests turned into white bones overnight, and the little two and many onlookers who went in to check were affected, and the plague spread away for a while, and the whole city was shocked.

Fortunately, Qin Shixiao had already arranged Jiang Changxi's letter, so there was no bigger mess. However, the matter of the white bone plague could no longer be hidden, and in the panic, the Shi'an Hall in Pingzhou also received patients from Lizhou.

The most shocking thing was a medicine hall in the east of the city, and the news leaked out of nowhere, saying that the medicine hall had a similar patient who died in the overnight house two days ago, and when the medicine boy found it the next day, there was only a white skeleton left. The owner of the medicine hall was unknown, so he didn't dare to report the crime, so he quietly buried the person under a tree in the backyard.

Qin Shixiao received the news and rushed to it, and after some searching, he really dug up a white bone under one of the trees. At that time, it was seen that the soil used to fill the pit was all new, and it was indeed recently buried.

"And like that?" Jiang Changxi was so angry that his liver hurt: "Isn't this delaying the condition." ”

"All the people in the medicine hall have been temporarily detained, except for those who have a fever, those who do not have a fever are also isolated, and they will be observed for two days." Qin Shixiao said.

"That's all there is to it for the time being." Jiang Changxi rubbed the corners of her sore forehead, and several pieces of paper filled with the names of dense medicines were spread out in front of her.

"Is this a prescription?"

"Hmm." These are all prescriptions that Jiang Changxi has carefully calculated through the ancient books he knows in the past two days, and the dosage of the medicine in them needs to be carefully considered: "I will discuss the prescription for the treatment of white bone plague with other doctors, you can rest assured." ”

Jiang Changxi was silent, and after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't help but ask: "Second brother, ...... over there in Lizhou?"

"The prince has received your letter. It's just a guess, but I think you're probably right. These people are definitely not trying to escape for their lives, but shaking the foundation of Da Hung is the ultimate goal. Qin Shixiao said: "But you don't have to worry, with the prince here, these people can't make the climate." ”

The current situation is not optimistic, but Qin Shixiao can say such things with great certainty, and the trust in Han Weiqi without hesitation made Jiang Changxi take a big surprise.

"The second brother seems to have a lot of trust in the prince."

Qin Shixiao didn't think about it and said, "Yes." ”

Qin Shixiao probably also thought of the rumors about Han Weici in the market, mostly saying that he was disrespectful, arrogant, and dishonorable to his parents. But for so many years, these words have been passed back and forth, and now the favor of the prince is still the same, and the prince is still arrogant and arrogant, for the Jing'an Hou Mansion......

In fact, the prince is polite enough. Qin Shixiao, who had seen the lower limit of the Marquis of Jing'an, said silently.

"Lord Wang, in addition to being arrogant, arrogant, domineering, and harsh in governing the army, it's actually quite good."

Jiang Changxi: "...... "Second Brother Qin, are you serious?!"

Pretending not to see Jiang Changxi's speechless condensation, Qin Shixiao remembered something and said, "I came today to tell you that the state government has decided to gather all the infected patients, so that it is convenient for isolation and treatment, and it can also effectively appease the people." ”

The centralized treatment of Jiang Changxi is in agreement, after all, there are already several pharmacies that have found patients with bone disease, and decentralized treatment is not conducive to isolation, nor is it conducive to the sharing of news about medicinal materials.

"Okay, I'll arrange it." Jiang Changxi already had a plan in his heart, and he came as soon as he opened his mouth to arrange something: "Shopkeeper Liao, Qingrong, and Xiao Zhang Xiaofang will come with me, I have three patients here, they have all tried new prescriptions today, and the situation is quite stable, but I still want to transfer another doctor......

"Sister Changxi." Qin Shixiao saw that she also had the intention of going with her, so he hurriedly interrupted her: "Grandmother and I mean, Sister Changxi should not follow her to the admission point." ”

After listening to Qin Shixiao's words, Jiang Changxi's expression did not change much, thinking that he would make such a suggestion, Jiang Changxi had expected it.

In fact, this is also true. She could see Qin Shixiao's worries, and she also understood that Old Madam Qin had some worries, which was nothing more than worrying about her safety, afraid that she would be sick, afraid that something would happen to her, and afraid that she would not be able to explain to her grandmother.

But she could only appreciate the kindness of Qin Shixiao and Old Madam Qin.

"The bandits in Lizhou pressed the border, there was no permanent army in Pingzhou, and there was a bone plague in Pingzhou City. Internal and external troubles, but a battle against the water. Even so, when the soldiers are in the city, will the second brother shrink back in order to save his life? ”

Even if Qin Shixiao knew the trap in her words, and knew that this was just her heart-to-heart words, even if it was just a moment of deception to her, the word 'will' still couldn't be said by him without hesitation.

Qin Shixiao knew, and Jiang Changxi also knew.

She said: "As a general, you can't run away. In the same way, as a doctor, I can't do it if I don't save myself. Second brother, I know you can understand. Even if you don't understand, I hope you don't stop me. ”

Qin Shixiao looked at her, and Jiang Changxi did not dodge looking at him, like a washed clean eye, there was a firmness in his eyes that he couldn't ignore, so that he couldn't say anything to refuse when he opened his mouth.

Qin Shixiao smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "The words have been blocked by you, what else can I say." "You are so hopeful, how can I be willing to wipe out your hope with my own hands.

Alas, that's it.

Jiang Changxi breathed a sigh of relief, his tense nerves relaxed, and finally smiled sincerely: "Thank you, second brother." ”

Qin Shixiao rubbed her head dotingly. This was just a subconscious action, and when he realized that this action had exceeded for them at this time, Jiang Changxi had already happily called Qingrong and a few people to discuss the matter of going to the treatment point.

Qin Shixiao touched his head with a little headache, already worrying about how to explain to his grandmother.

The admission point was arranged in a hall in the south of the city, where Jiang Changxi met several doctors from other medicine halls, and they all reserved their opinions on Jiang Changxi's new prescriptions, but they all suggested that they be shown to an old doctor in Shi'an Hall.

The old doctor is already in the age of sixtieth, he has been a doctor for more than 50 years, he is experienced and kind, and there are many rising generations in Pingzhou City who have been taught by the old doctor.

It's just that the old doctor has long since retired, and now he does not live in Pingzhou City, but lives in seclusion in Daohe Village outside the city.

Hearing that this old doctor also had a lot of research on Gu poison, Jiang Changxi intended to visit and ask for advice.

Qingrong naturally wanted to go with Jiang Changxi, Qin Shixiao was urgently summoned after sending her to the treatment point, and the shopkeeper Liao was also absent because of Chenxiang, fortunately, there were Shi'an Hall and several other doctors from the medicine hall who went on the same road, but they were not afraid that they would not be able to find the way.

Although there were people in the reception center to take care of them, there were slightly more people who went to Daohe Village this time, so they planned to go and return quickly.

"Bone plague?" When he first heard this name, the old doctor, who was kind and smiling, couldn't believe it, and frowned and thought about it with his gray goatee, and only after confirming it again and again did he say, "This is troublesome." ”

People who don't understand Gu poison, even the most experienced doctors don't know much about the disease of the white bone plague, they heard the old doctor say this, and suddenly their faces became sad: "I still hope that Mr. will advise." ”

"White bone plague, there are three difficulties in the treatment method." The old doctor raised three fingers and said, "One difficulty, white Gu, one Gu feeds one Gu." He Gu is the main one, He Gu is supplemented, it is the key to solving the white Gu, as far as the old man knows, there are no less than a hundred kinds of Gu worms that can feed each other to raise white Gu. ”

Hundreds? If you want to prescribe the right medicine, wouldn't you have to try these 100 combinations the same? No, we also have to distinguish the main and auxiliary problems of Gu worms, so there are more than a hundred kinds!

The crowd was shocked. But that's not all, there's still a dilemma.

"The second dilemma, bone plague. The white Gu fed by the main and auxiliary is different, its toxicity is different, and the epidemic diseases formed are naturally different, and the treatment method is also very different. The old doctor continued.

"But if you can solve one difficulty, the second difficulty will be solved." Seeing that everyone was hit hard, and their faces gradually turned gray, Jiang Changxi couldn't bear to add.

However, such a supplement does not give everyone much comfort, because everyone knows in their hearts that it is difficult to find the right one among more than 100 combinations. Even if they had the perseverance to find it, the patients couldn't wait, and the people of Pingzhou City couldn't wait.

The old doctor was a little interested in Jiang Changxi, who was as calm as ever, looked at her with a loving smile, and said very kindly: "The little girl seems to understand very well? ”

Jiang Changxi hurriedly saluted and said respectfully: "The little girl is not talented, she once read an ancient book, and the epidemic is slightly recorded in the ancient book. It is a pity that the ancient books are old and broken, and the methods of prevention and treatment of this epidemic are not fully recorded, so there is nothing to be done about it. ”

The old doctor stroked his beard and nodded, which meant to test her: "Then do you know what is the third difficulty in the treatment of bone plague?" ”
