Chapter 47: Urgency
Following
According to yesterday's agreement, after Wang Wei got up early in the morning to cook food for Wang Yi, he went to the east entrance of the village.
There were two people standing at the entrance of the village, and Wang Wei came to Yun Qing in surprise and said, "You go too?" ”
"Of course." Yun Qing did not face the apprehension before the catastrophe, and looked very relaxed, and said, "I will go to the village with water plague to help my father collect water samples and take them back to develop an antidote." ”
Seeing Yun Qing's relaxed posture, Wang Weiwei also relaxed the tension in his heart a little.
Out of the village, there were two officers and soldiers dressed in the clothes of the officials, holding a long stick in their hands, sitting on a wooden bench with their buttocks, and their upper bodies leaning on the stick to nap.
There is no yamen in the village, and there are no officers and soldiers in the village, but the majestic soldier characters printed on the clothes will make people afraid for the first time.
Yun Zhongjing stepped forward to wake up the two, showed them the pass written by the village chief, and then let them go.
The three of them went directly to Fugui Village, where the plague was the most severe, and a total of 98 people in Fugui Village were infected with water plague after drinking water, and the symptoms of water plague infection were swollen all over the body, and blisters grew, and as the blisters burst, people would die because of their body ulcers.
In Yun Zhongjing's view, this so-called water plague is a symptom of poisoning, and this poison is also contagious.
Thankfully, the blisters grew slowly, and there was plenty of time to develop an antidote.
Fugui Village is eight or nine miles away from Shanshui Village, and there is a long mountain road, which is close to an hour's journey, and Wang Wei is fortunate to practice walking mountain roads in the Atlanta farm, and she is the easiest one to walk along the way.
Finally, when the sun was in the sky, they rushed to Fugui Village, and the number of officers and soldiers guarding the entrance of Fugui Village increased from two to four, and when they entered the village, they smelled a strong smell of grass smoke, the taste was not pungent, but it felt very soft, but most of them were not used to it for the first time.
Wang Wei gently covered his snort with his fingers, Yun Qing was used to smelling medicine when she was a child, these smells were normal for her, seeing Wang Wei's slightly squeamish appearance, Yun Qing smiled happily and said, "I thought that the peasant girl who grew up in the field was different from everyone's ladies." ”
Wang Weiwei glanced at her and did not speak, and Wang Weiwei, who gradually got used to the smell, put down his fingers to cover his snort.
"This is called wormwood, set up a pile of firewood to burn smoke, put wormwood on the smoke to smoke, so that the smoke wafted out has the effect of disinfection."
"I don't see you still understand something."
"What do you mean by knowing something? My medical skills are definitely the second best in Shanshui Village. ”
"Who's the first?"
"My daddy."
"And the third?"
"Third ......" Yun Qing didn't hear that Wang Wei was deliberately teasing her, and simply thought about who else in Shanshui Village knew how to use medicine besides their family.
"Forget it, don't think about it, it's not easy for you to count second."
"You...... Don't run. Yun Qing and Wang Wei frolicked, completely forgetting that they were in a dangerous village.
……
Yun Qing went to a nearby well alone to collect water samples, Wang Wei followed Yun Zhongjing, Yun Zhongjing took Wang the only brush and thick parchment, and said, "I can remember what I say in a while, and stay away from the patients infected with water plague, don't touch them, so as not to be careful of being infected with the virus." ”
"Doctor Yun, is this water plague a contact infection?"
"Well, for now, it should be like this."
Wang Weiwei followed Yun Zhongjing to a large wooden house, one-third of the patients infected with water plague were placed in this place, the smell of wormwood here was heavier, and the weight made people a little breathless, Yun Zhongjing took out a pair of gloves made of sheep intestines from the medicine box and put them on his hand, glanced at Wang Weiwei, and said, "You must not touch the patient." ”
"Well, I'll be careful."
Entering the room, the patient's bed is less than a foot apart, which can save a lot of space, a room can accommodate eight or nine patients, in addition to the patient there is a doctor, a simple long wooden table, a white candle burned, because of the patient's physical condition, so the window is all sealed.
An old man who looked to be in his sixties, with a snow-white beard and all white hair, wore a light blue gown, and wrote in his skinny handwriting words with vigor and strength that even young people might not be able to write.
Seeing that Yun Zhongjing was coming, the old man got up from the stool excitedly and walked towards Yun Zhongjing with his body bent.
After that, the old man started a medical exchange, and Wang Wei stood aside without understanding a word.
The old man took Yun Zhongjing and Wang Weiwei to a patient's bed, this person was a middle-aged man, the strongest person in the room, and the person who had been infected with water plague for the longest time, now he had already become unrecognizable, his body was swollen like a fat man of more than two hundred catties, the blisters on his arms were half broken, the wound began to suppurate, and many medicines were applied to no avail.
Yun Qing looked at this person, only to feel that his appetite was upside down, and he almost vomited in one breath.
Yun Zhongjing chatted with the old man for a while about the changes in this patient in recent days, and saw that Wang Weiwei's face was pale, and said, "Are you okay, if you are sick to your stomach, go out and take a breath." ”
After all, it's a girl, and it's the first time I've seen this kind of scene, which is also a normal reaction.
"It's fine." Wang Weiwei smiled bitterly, swallowed hard, and looked elsewhere, trying to calm himself.
"Fifteen days after the patient was infected with the water plague, he may also have symptoms of dehydration, and this should be the most dangerous time." The old man examined the patient's tongue coating with his gloved hand.
"There was a rotting smell where the blisters had burst." Yun Zhongjing picked up the patient's arm and examined it.
Wang Weiwei thought that he would start recording now, so he picked up a brush and dipped some ink on the stone inkstone on the long table, and wrote down the last sentence that Yun Zhongjing said.
"The yellow water that bursts out of the blister is already rotten water, indicating that the body has begun to decay when the blister is grown, and it is very difficult to treat the wound after the blister bursts, unless the flesh under the blister wound is cut off, but the patient's body is weak, which is undoubtedly pushing the patient to the mouth of the fire." The old man said.
"Therefore, the best way to save the patient is to give the antidote before the patient has blisters." Yun Zhongjing examined the patient's body and said, "How often does it take for a general patient to start getting blisters." ”
"Ten days later."
"How many people in the village have been infected for more than 10 days?"
"It's almost half."
Blisters on the 10th, the condition reached the most dangerous moment on the 15th, so there are less than five days, if no antidote can be developed, half of the patients in the village will face the danger of life, and the urgent situation now is self-evident.
