Chapter 73: Settling the Sick Village
Mu Qingniang unfolded the bag, and there were needles in it, and in the treatment just now, Mu Qingniang used all the needles, and now some of the needles are also stained with some blood.
"I need you to help me do a few sets of exactly the same set of needles so that I can be treated in separate sessions and won't make people wait too long."
Then Mu Qingniang asked He Ming to take a jar of spirits, Mu Qingniang poured the wine into a large bowl, and put all the needles into the wine to sterilize.
"I don't know, are there any craftsmen or craftsmen in the village? This needle can be imitated with bamboo, which is elastic and has a sterilizing effect, and the effect is naturally best in this case. ”
In the crowd, a patient raised his hand, he walked over slowly, there were relatively few sores on his body, he took the big bowl full of wine, and walked towards the bamboo forest at the entrance of the village, Mu Qingniang breathed a sigh of relief.
"Also, this disease is very contagious, daily necessities, personal items must be destroyed, if there is no spare, it must be exposed to the sun every day, and every part of the house must be drenched with vinegar to prevent it. This is the most basic precaution, and you must remember what I say. ”
After getting Mu Qingniang's orders, everyone present returned home one after another.
After a while, the square gathered the usual bedding, straw mats, and other clothes.
Mu Qingniang entered the only leper patient, who was simply isolated in the room where he had just been treated.
Mu Qingniang was able to use her hands and feet, took out the straw mats, bedding, and even some close-fitting wooden furniture in the house, and then burned all these things with a fire.
She watched the fire slowly burn to ashes before her eyes, and poured vinegar on the ashes.
After everything was dealt with, the person who had just taken away the needle handed over the needle made of Mu Qingniang's bamboo.
There are about three copies.
Mu Qingniang accepted the needles and asked the people in the village with more serious sores to gather together and line up to receive the injections.
And Mu Qingniang, under the leadership of He Ming, found the place where Lang Zhong lived before his death, and took away some wormwood and a few medicinal herbs for treating snake sores.
After Mu Qingniang applied the needle, the wormwood was burned to promote treatment, and behind Mu Qingniang, there were several medicine stoves, which were the decoctions that Mu Qingniang thought of temporarily.
In this way, the treatment in Hejia Village lasted for a day.
Mu Qingniang packed up her bags, washed the medicine stove in Hejia Village, and He Ming took her out of the village.
She was about to get into the carriage, and the people from Hejia Village lined up in the back, and the person in charge seemed to want to say something, but slowly closed his mouth.
"Folks, I have treated most of your illnesses, recovery is a matter of time, please don't worry." Mu Qingniang said softly.
"Mu ...... Doctor Mu, thank you, we are like this, I don't know how many people avoid us, but you do not shy away from treating us, what a living immortal. The leader opened his mouth and immediately mobilized his emotions.
They have just received treatment and will not get better so quickly, but such an ignorant person only revolves around them all day long, sparing no effort to help them.
People's hearts are understood, and Mu Qingniang's actions also make their hearts warm.
Mu Qingniang was a little embarrassed under the eager gaze, and her eyes reminded He Ming to act quickly.
He Ming knew in his heart, hurriedly waved the whip, and the carriage left in response, gradually moving away from the crowd.
Mu Qingniang was in the car, paying attention to He Ming.
It is also strange to say that almost everyone in Hejia Village has a sudden illness, and they are all very contagious shingles, but He Ming is very clean.
Looking at the symptoms of the villagers, they have been sick for a while, but He Ming seems to be fine.
"He Ming, I have a presumptuous thing to ask, why everyone in the village has sores, and one person has leprosy, but you don't seem to be affected."
"Hey! I don't know about that. Doctor Mu, you and Dr. Lu Zi have been in contact with my father for treatment in the past few days, isn't there no surprise? He Ming's words were a little too straightforward, and Mu Qingniang was speechless for a while.
"We still have very little contact with you, this can't be compared, have you ever had this kind of serious illness since you were a child?" Mu Qingniang's words changed and began to be tentative.
"Since childhood, well, no...... Oh yes, I remember, when I was eight years old, I seemed to have smallpox, and I went out of the village to avoid pox. He Ming explained and pointed to his face, "Look, there are still some marks on my face now, my father said that this is normal, and it is the Bodhisattva's blessing." ”
Mu Qingniang raised her eyes and looked at He Ming's face carefully, there were indeed a few marks that were not very obvious, that is, the pockmarked face that the old people used to call before.
If there are a lot of acne marks on the face, there will be pits, which is commonly known as "pockmarked face".
Mu Qingniang suddenly realized that people who have generally had smallpox or chickenpox will have sporadic pox marks after recovery.
In the past, the old people said that there would be no more symptoms of smallpox.
Chickenpox, shingles, and smallpox have the same pathology, and since they have their own antibodies, they are naturally not afraid.
Mu Qingniang understood what she had been wondering about, and breathed a long sigh of relief. After arriving at the Zhengyuan Medical Center, He Ming turned his horse's head and prepared to go back, but was stopped by her.
"Go back and tell the others that it's enough to lock the toxins together, and that all that's left is to prepare your body according to the prescription I gave you, and I'll go over regularly to observe your condition. As for the old man who was stricken with leprosy, tell the others not to come near him, for he needs your help in his diet and daily life. Also, the bamboo needles made during the day should never be used again, this is a disposable tool, and it must be destroyed after use, otherwise there will be a risk of infection. ”
He Ming naturally didn't know that he already had antibodies, but when the patients in the village would gradually get better, and he was also very honored to be named by the well-known Doctor Mu to take care of the seriously ill old man, so he naturally happily agreed.
Mu Qingniang walked into the Zhengyuan Medical Hall, and Lu Zi, father and daughter, hurriedly greeted her and asked Mu Qingniang to sit.
"Master, you can be counted as back, you don't know how worried I am about you, that is the village where the leper is located, in my opinion, it is the Longtan Tiger's Den, Master, have you felt uncomfortable after you come back?" Lu Rumo asked with concern, and the anxiety on her face could be seen by anyone.
"Ru Mo has been worried since you went to the clinic early this morning, Miss Mu came back at this time, is there anything uncomfortable?" Lu Zi also asked Mu Qingniang with a concerned face.
Mu Qingniang took a sip of water and nodded at the father and daughter, suggesting that there was nothing uncomfortable about herself, and Lu Zi's father and daughter finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Everyone misunderstood, the village was suffering from diseases, but most of them were not leprosy, and there was only one person who was really sick, so the test drugs I brought over didn't come in handy."
Mu Qingniang took out the medicine for leprosy patients in her baggage, and all of them were not much less. Lu Zi took the bottle that was applied to the affected area and opened it and sniffed it gently.
"Master's safe return is the most important thing." Lu Rumo said
"But this time they are all people who have snake sores, but at present, there are no signs of this disease, so it is safer to check it."
Lu Zi put down the small bottle and said his plan, and now there are more and more people coming to Zhengyuan Hospital for treatment, and all kinds of incurable diseases will be encountered, which makes Lu Zi have a new idea.
"Now the seasons are different, the people who come to see the doctor, their symptoms are gradually becoming complicated, I think that relying on Miss Mu's bottles of medicinal materials alone is not a long-term solution after all, it just so happens that the medicinal materials of the Wang Liujia have a very good effect, and they are all excellent medicinal materials, so I think it's time to research new medicines."
"I've also noticed it, and I'll give you a satisfactory answer in two days." Mu Qingniang bowed slightly, and Lu Zi generously took out a prescription on the counter and handed it to Mu Qingniang.
"This is a prescription that I have opened through my own medication experience in the past few days, and it is not early today, Miss Mu will bring it back this time, and we will study it again tomorrow, how about it?"
Mu Qingniang accepted the prescription, and then the coachman brought the carriage, Mu Qingniang tossed all day, and was indeed a little tired at this time, so she said goodbye to Lu Zi's father and daughter.
The carriage drove slowly in the direction of home.
