The man sighed and said, "At first, no one paid attention to it, it was just an ordinary typhoid cold, and slowly some people were hoarse and coughed like dogs, and some people had swollen necks like cow's necks." The first symptoms of the person who went to the forest appeared, and then they all died within half a month, and everyone paid attention to it. ”

Shen Muyao has studied medicine for many years, and she feels that she has faintly heard this kind of symptom, but she can't remember what it is, so she decided to check it first and then say: "I can't hear anything in these few sentences, can you open the door and let me take a look?" ”

The man said: "Girl, no, this disease is very strange, and people who have come into contact with the sick will also contract this disease, so don't wade into this troubled water." ”

Shen Muyao also knew that this was a contagious disease, but she didn't have anything to protect herself for a while, so after thinking about it, she took out a handkerchief from her arms and sealed it on her mouth and nose: "I have done some precautions, it should be able to protect me, just let me see." ”

The other party still had a little hope, thought about it, and opened the door for her.

Inside the door was a middle-aged man with a thick cloth wrapped around his face. The woman Yang wanted to come and take a look and help, but was stopped by Shen Muyao: "Mrs. Yang, don't come over yet, I'll see what the situation is first, don't act rashly." ”

Mrs. Yang nodded. Shen Muyao walked into the house and saw that the house was plainly furnished, but it was also neat and generous, and she could see that the family was also happy. She turned around and asked the middle-aged man, "I don't know what to call it?" ”

The man said, "My surname is Yu, just call me Uncle Yu." ”

Saving people is an urgent matter, and Shen Muyao didn't delay any longer, let Uncle Yu sit down and take a closer look at the illness.

He didn't have much abnormality in his visual inspection, Shen Muyao asked about some specific conditions, and Uncle Yu was also very cooperative. What Uncle Yu said was quite detailed, Shen Muyao had a general idea in her heart, and decided to prove it: "Uncle Yu, can you let me check what is in my mouth?" ”

Uncle Yu agreed. Shen Muyao brought a chopstick, asked Uncle Yu to open his mouth, and began to check. This inspection can be regarded as a basic confirmation by Shen Muyao. Uncle Yu's pharynx is red and swollen, and a large milky or gray-white pseudomembrane can be seen on it, but the range is still no larger than that of milk moths. This condition, which is recorded in medical books, is called throat wind, which is a contagious disease and difficult to treat. Shen Muyao was still not at ease: "Uncle Yu, are the people in the village almost like this?" ”

"yes, why did the girl lie to you."

That's not good. This throat wind is not a small illness, it broke out in the old days, more than 100,000 people died, and now there is no easy way to cure it. If someone spreads the virus outside......

She hurriedly asked, "Did the people in the village come out when someone was sick?" ”

Uncle Yu thought for a while and said, "We are self-sufficient, we rarely go out, and we only go out for a walk on the days of the market every month. When that man got sick, let me think. He thought for a while, and said uncertainly: "It seems to be the seventh day of the new year, we rushed to the market on the first day of the new year, and then after two or three days, their whole family was sick, and in less than a week, people died, and many more people were sick, so no one went to the market." ”

Shen Muyao breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there is a high probability that the disease is now under control in the village and has not spread. She chatted with Uncle Yu for a while and walked out.

The sun was shining outside the door, and Shen Muyao was about to usher in the first war on the way to practice medicine. But she is not afraid, because she has Mrs. Yang and Xiaotian, she has Ah You and brothers, and she has Xiao Heng.

She can do it.

Mrs. Yang hurriedly stepped forward with a worried expression: "Girl, are you okay?" ”

Shen Muyao shook her head: "I'm fine, but we may have to face a test." Mrs. Yang, can you help? ”

Mrs. Yang smiled slightly: "The girl saved Xiaotian, and I should do whatever I want." ”

Shen Muyao nodded. Time waits for no one, and she has to visit a few homes before dusk to learn more about the situation. It's just that this protective measure is too simple, and she has to find a way to do a good job of isolation protection. After thinking about it, she asked Mrs. Yang, "Madam, do you have a handkerchief or something like that on your body?" ”

Mrs. Yang hurriedly replied, "Yes, yes." He took out a piece of coarse cloth: "I'm not a young lady, just this kind of linen, do you want it?" ”

Shen Muyao's eyes lit up: "Of course you can." "Although the coarse cloth is thick, it will be more stuffy and difficult to breathe, but it is also more tightly covered than silk cloth. After thanking Mrs. Yang, he knocked on the door again: "Is anyone there?" ”

She walked five or six houses in an afternoon to confirm the disease. Camping outside the village at night, it was late at night, everything was quiet, only Shen Muyao's camp tent still had candle shadows dancing.

On the rough papyrus, there were a few beautiful characters. Shen Muyao sometimes writes like the wind, sometimes stops writing and frowns, throat winding is not an easy disease, even ancient prescriptions are rarely solved. Among the tens of millions of medical books that have been read over the years, many of them are conjectures, and there are not many treatments proposed. What is doubtful and feasible, she has to sort it out one by one.

Before I knew it, it was already dawn, and Shen Muyao didn't sleep all night. She looked at the stack of papers and sighed softly.

Mrs. Yang had risen and came looking for her. Seeing the stack of paper and the burned-out lamp oil on the table, he didn't hesitate to gasp: "Girl, you haven't slept all night?" ”

Shen Muyao nodded lightly. Mrs. Yang frowned: "This can't be done, you go and rest for a while, otherwise how can you have the energy to work?" ”

Shen Muyao smiled at her: "No need, I slept a lot, and the villagers suffered." ”

She stood up and said, "Madame Yang, can you do me a favor?" I don't know if there is a pharmacy in the village, can you help me go and see it, and if there is, come back and let me know, okay? ”

Mrs. Yang answered and went out. Shen Muyao also followed out the door and found Ah You again: "Ah You, I have something to ask for." ”

Ah You said: "Although the girl said, I Ah You will definitely help if I can help." ”

Shen Muyao said: "Now that the villagers are collectively infected, and it is easy for a family to be infected with each other in one room, so please help to see if there is any vacant space in the village, so that the villagers can be transferred and isolated." ”

Ah You nodded, and didn't say much to call the brothers. Xiao Tian also ran over at this time and asked in a low voice, "Sister Shen, is there anything I can do to help?" ”

Shen Muyao touched his head and said with a smile: "Xiaotian is obedient, it's already great, are you here waiting for everyone to come back, okay?" ”

Xiao Tian raised his little face and nodded: "Well, I won't make trouble for my sisters and mothers." ”
