Chapter 168: Plagues, They Mutate

Shen Huazhuo watched his hand wave straight towards her, she was startled, her body couldn't help trembling, her eyes stared at Ji Ziyuan with a pitiful look, full of pleading.

Ji Ziyuan really couldn't stand it.

"Lord Wang, you still have something to do, we won't delay you." As he spoke, he pulled Shen Huazhuo to fly fast.

Seeing that the two figures of them disappeared in an instant, Xuanyuan Yuan smiled "sneering" and shook her head secretly, she rejected him at that time, presumably she would not come.

If she were to come, she would have taken the jade pendant to meet his people, instead of running alone.

Ji Ziyuan pulled Shen Huazhuo to hide casually, there were all kinds of camp tents stationed here, as if they were hiding and seek, and they didn't know where they were hiding at this time.

He paused and stared at Shen Huazhuo, he had always been just simple and definitely not stupid, in fact, he had already seen the strangeness of the person in front of him, and only when he was out of Xuanyuan Yu'an did he raise his eyebrows and said, "Do you know Prince An?" ”

Seeing that Shen Huazhuo shook his head and was about not to admit it, he said directly: "If you don't know him, how can you see him like a mouse seeing a cat, and you can't avoid it?" ”

Shen Hua was stunned, Ji Ziyuan was really as innocent as he seemed on the surface? Why, she thinks that under his bright smile, he is actually full of scheming?

"Yes, I know the prince, but that was only the last time the prince was in disaster relief, I was so hungry that I secretly took a steamed bun and was found by him, so I ......"

Shen Huazhuo was talking nonsense, of course she couldn't tell the story that she had seen Xuanyuan Yu'an, otherwise Ji Ziyuan, who lacked heart, might poke her out at some point.

"You don't fool me......" Ji Ziyuan's narrow eyes turned around, and he crossed his hands and pushed her, but it came too suddenly, Shen Huazhuo didn't react for a while, and was pushed back again and again.

Seeing that she was so poor, Ji Ziyuan blinked uneasily, and immediately pulled her back again, complaining softly: "How can you be as thin as a woman, so thin and untouchable!" ”

Relying on his strength, Shen Huazhuo stood firmly, but when he turned around, he found that the posture of the two people was extremely ambiguous, and he actually held her in his arms.

She was inexplicably angry in her heart, looked up at him, and then took advantage of his unpreparedness to push him down with her backhand, and turned her head and strode away listening to the sound of him falling to the ground and screaming!

When passing by the corner of the camp, he suddenly saw Xuanyuan Yu'an's strange face, he, he was still there?

She wanted to run, but he couldn't walk because she was staring at her, so she hurriedly turned her head sideways and bent down to say goodbye!

The corners of Xuanyuan Yu'an's lips rose inexplicably, although he was not familiar with him, but seeing that he had just moved neatly and neatly, he was very happy to see Ji Ziyuan without dragging his feet down.

"Doctor Hua, help, it hurts me to death!" The old woman over there cried again.

"Hey, here, here......"

Hearing that voice, Shen Huazhuo was like being amnestied, and hurriedly made a farewell salute!

But unbeknownst to her, Xuanyuan Yu'an deliberately left Ji Ziyuan behind after she left, and asked her origin clearly!

Actually, I didn't ask anything.

Because Ji Ziyuan, a little fox, pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger, he didn't know anything about it.

It was only revealed that he met him in Shipan County, because during the flood period, he was in urgent need of a doctor, so he didn't even see anything about Lu Yin.

Therefore, his family background and life experience are unknown.

Xuanyuan Yu'an's eyes flashed, and the origin became a mystery?

Interesting! Although he didn't see her face clearly, it didn't prevent him from thinking about it.

……

The weather is slightly cloudy, and after only a while, it seems that the sky is about to change again.

"Gee, what's going on?" The victims were huddled together, and they were really afraid that they would die and it would rain again.

All day long, I was in fear when I faced the changing sky.

Fortunately, it was cloudy for an afternoon, and the rain did not fall in the end.

There was bad news from Dongshan.

Most of the people affected by the disaster have contracted the epidemic, and the imperial doctors and private doctors who were dispatched in the early stage are at a loss, unable to control it, and even the situation is getting worse.

Xuanyuan Imperial Security authorized Ji Yuan to organize another group of doctors to go to the consultation, trying to find out the cause and cure them for the cause.

Shen Huazhuo was anxious to get rid of Xuanyuan Yu'an's scrutinizing gaze from time to time, and volunteered to go.

Ji Ziyuan also wanted to go through the experience, and then followed.

When Ji Ziyuan came out of the ranks, Shen Huazhuo deliberately glanced at Ji Yuanzheng, he didn't move at all, she suspected that Ji Ziyuan was not his own, this attitude, he didn't even give a look, he was too calm!

There was no time to complain, so the group stepped on the carriage to Dongshan.

The areas affected by the disaster in the Lingjiang Delta are mainly concentrated in five counties, and the Dongshan District of Shaocheng County, where they are located at this time, is the most serious.

Along the way, the victims wailed, the walls of the houses collapsed, and the people they saw were lifeless.

The streets are littered with filthy rat carcasses, and even in the daylight there are traces of gnawing on them by their own kind.

They are piled up on the corners, huddled around and looked horrible.

But everyone came and went, as if they were used to it, and there were no superfluous expressions.

As soon as the doctors arrived in Dongshan District, they were immediately dispersed, and Shen Huazhuo was taken by Ji Ziyuan in the name of taking care of him, and he was in charge of the Huayan Temple area.

The Fayan Temple is tall and majestic, it was once a magnificent temple in the Lingjiang River Delta, and the incense was prosperous during the Taiping period.

Because of its unique architectural structure, it can continue to stand on the mountainside after the small courtyard of the hut next to it has been flooded.

After the floods, the abbot of the temple, Master Fa Zhi, set aside all the empty courtyards for the local victims as temporary shelters.

But at this time, it has become the hardest hit area of diseases and epidemics.

Shen Huazhuo could hear coughing, aching, wheezing, and mouth-to-mouth sounds at any time when he walked in it......

Coughing in one house, and rising again in another, always without interruption.

"Do they all have the same symptoms?" Looking at their faces, their faces are yellow and thin, their eyes are deeply cut into their eyes, and the cheekbones of their cheeks are protruding high, and at first glance they are skinny, and in the dark night, when the starry candlelight is lit, it looks like a ghost.

"Yes, everyone used to be sick, but it was only a minor illness and a small pain, but after two days, the symptoms suddenly changed."

Imperial Doctor Lin, who was in charge of seeing a doctor in Fayan Temple, introduced.

He glanced at Shen Huazhuo, who originally looked down on her, but when he saw that she was actually coming over with Ji Yuanzheng's son, his eyes immediately changed, and he knew everything about the questions she asked, and he looked very conscientious.

"Why did it suddenly change?"

Every disease has its incubation period, and it is impossible for all of these people to get infected at the same time, if so, then the disease is contagious, otherwise, it would not have infected everyone on such a large scale.

"There were some dead rats on the street for a while, and then all these people in the temple started to get bad."

"The plague?" Shen Huazhuo frowned.

"Not really." Imperial Doctor Lin looked at it as if he was in his forties, and he boasted that he had rich experience in seeing patients, so he vetoed it.

As for the plague mentioned by the hairy boy in front of him, he had seen it before, and the symptoms were not like this at all.

Ji Ziyuan saw that Imperial Physician Lin's face was a little displeased, and his face was full of suspicion, so he couldn't help but make a round: "Doctor Hua probably hasn't seen me before, so Imperial Doctor Lin, you can tell us about it." ”

Ji Ziyuan's words not only gave the old man Mrs. Lin face, but also took care of the face of Shen Huazhuo, a newcomer, and he had scruples on both sides.

"The plague has been a disease for a long time, and the former court physician Zhang Zhongjing's "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases" has a detailed record of this disease, and there are also prescriptions for treatment in it, since then, in many plague diseases, we can treat the symptoms."

Shen Huazhuo is quite familiar with the assertions in "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases", but he is a little curious that this overhead dynasty will actually have this book.

"When this disease first started, we all used the plague prescription to treat it, but it was not the right symptom, so everyone eliminated the hypothesis that this disease is a plague!"

Moreover, even the symptoms are different.

"I think they're all cough-based, and the plague is mostly fever, right?" Shen Huazhuo listened carefully, but also put forward his own opinions.

"The strange thing is that they only have a cough and no fever, so they can't be treated according to the method of typhoid fever."

Someone quietly prescribed a prescription for typhoid fever on the patient, and it was useless to eat it.

Shen Huazhuo took Imperial Physician Lin's words to heart, and walked out of the temple alone, walking around the street on the mountainside, looking at the piles of rats, as well as the rotting corpses of pigs, cows, and sheep that had been drowned in the flood, all of which exuded a putrid smell of corpses under the height of the sun.

She looked over a little bit, and it was shocking.

The flood crossed, like a beast of prey, after the raging, it was a depression, and everyone only cared about recalling the ferocity at that time, but forgetting that after the flood, it was the real disaster that came.

The carcasses of drowned animals and people, unclaimed and untreated, are everywhere and left to rot at will.

She rubbed her eyes, pierced by the horrific scenes.

"Hua Zhuo, what are you looking at?" Ji Ziyuan trotted all the way over.

"I think I probably know why Imperial Doctor Lin and their prescriptions for plague and typhoid fever didn't work."

Ji Ziyuan's starry eyes flashed, and the two small tiger teeth suddenly gave birth to a little brilliance.

"yes, let's go find them." The sooner an antidote to the epidemic is developed, the sooner it will help them to get rid of the torment of the disease, so that they can regain their health and rebuild their homes.

Back at Fayan Temple, it is already sunset, and there is a breeze blowing slowly on the mountainside, which sometimes brings coolness and freshness to the mountain.

Shen Huazhuo walked into the lobby where the doctors gathered, and his voice was clear:

"Have you ever thought that this disease is actually still a plague, but compared to before, they have changed......
