Chapter 108: Taste the herbs with your own body

Seeing those people huddle together, my heart hurt as if it was being eaten, I took a deep breath and said: "Fellow villagers, don't be afraid, the emperor has sent us the best imperial doctor, and he will definitely cure you, you can rest assured, you will definitely get better." ”

"The court is here!"

"We're saved!"

"The court has come to save us, and we are finally saved!"

All kinds of voices finally broke out at this moment, the fear of being hated, the fear of death and the expectation of life, were vented at this moment, and all kinds of voices were mixed together, making people sour and uncomfortable.

"Yes, we're here, so, we're going to figure it out, definitely."

I did not hesitate to wait for the soldiers to neatly disperse the patients, and began the most basic diagnosis and treatment. New patients were brought in one after another, and there was nowhere to put their feet in the ancestral hall, so they had to sit on the side of the street outside the door. I settled down, hurried over and checked my pulse with a handkerchief, and my face became more and more solemn.

"Fever, fatigue, and dry cough are the main manifestations. Upper respiratory tract symptoms such as nasal congestion and runny nose are rare. About half of the patients develop dyspnea after more than one week, and in severe cases, it progresses rapidly to acute respiratory distress syndrome, septic shock, refractory metabolic acidosis, and coagulopathy, which cannot be delayed. If this continues, I am afraid the consequences will be even more serious. "After a preliminary diagnosis, I have already made a judgment, "Let's isolate first, let the soldiers go to check house by house, this disease has a certain incubation period, as long as you have been in contact with the patient, you must be isolated for half a month, and you can go home only if you have no symptoms." ”

"Okay." I raised my eyes, and next to me was Zhengqing who came in a hurry, his face was covered with sweat, his clothes were already soaked, and there were water stains oozing from his body, presumably he was worried that I would be embarrassed by others, so he would be in such a hurry.

"Wait, some families may be afraid that the sick will be burned to death, so there may be something to hide, we must let the soldiers persuade well, we are here to treat the disease, and we will not hurt anyone."

"Okay, don't worry, I will make careful arrangements, but these patients are ......," Zhengqing said worriedly.

"I'll develop a countermeasure as soon as possible, so don't worry." I spoke lightly, my eyes full of anxiety.

He nodded, his eyes shining with concern.

Zong Zheng ran over sweating profusely, gasping and said: "General, in the post store in the city, more than ten people are all sick, look at this, I'm afraid this is, it's ......" Zongzheng's eyes were full of melancholy, because he was afraid of many patients around him, he didn't finish his words.

I wiped the fine sweat on my forehead with the back of my hand, looked at Zhengqing and said: "Immediately notify the state capital where the epidemic occurred, be sure to do a good job of isolation, isolate the patient immediately, and sort out the contact group, as long as there is contact, you must be quarantined for half a month, and it is not allowed to leak out of control in the middle, conceal and omit the report, and once it is found, it will be immediately dismissed and investigated!" ”

"I'll do it!" He agreed, but hesitated: "But I'm leaving, what should you do?" ”

"Zhengqing, only you can do this, I don't worry about others, even if there is a person with the virus scattered outside, the epidemic will multiply, we can't be careless!"

"Okay, then you pay more attention." He saw my anxiety, immediately agreed, and turned to go out.

Seeing Zhengqing leave, I instructed the soldiers to deliver some antiviral drugs to the patients according to the patient's symptoms, and for those with persistent high fever, use ice packs and alcohol to cool down.

"General, there are a few people over there who are short of breath and can barely breathe, what should I do?" Zong Zheng hurriedly ran over and asked.

I pondered for a moment and discussed with Zongzheng: "According to the clinical characteristics of this epidemic, its core pathogenesis is 'dampness, poison, stasis, and closure', and the disease is located in the lungs and spleen, which can be injured and bloodshed. I think there are two options that can be taken: No. 1 prescription for prevention, take 3g of Atractylodes, 5g of honeysuckle, 3g of tangerine peel, 2g of reed root, 2g of mulberry leaves, 10g of raw astragalus, brew with boiling water, and a course of treatment for ten days. The second prescription is used for treatment: take 10g of raw astragalus, 10g of fried atractylodes, 10g of parsnip, 6g of guanzhong, 10g of honeysuckle, 10g of peilan, 6g of tangerine peel decoction, one payment a day, take it in two times, what does Master Zong think? β€œ

He was stunned for a moment, savored it, didn't speak for a long time, and only after a long time did he have an empowering expression: "This prescription is really right!" He looked at me with an incredulous expression: "How did the general know about ......?"

I glanced at him, did I tell him that this epidemic had already been conquered in the time and space in which I lived?! But he had a persistent attitude, as if he didn't know the root cause, so he couldn't let go, so he had to deal with it: "My ancestor has been practicing medicine, so I know a little bit about it!" ”

Where did he believe it, but I didn't have the slightest explanation, and in desperation, he had no choice but to give up......

The air was filled with the smell of death, the ancestral hall was full of the smell of sour rot, the sick people crowded together, coughing one after another, the corpses were carried out, and the sick people walked in again, and I heard the arguments and cries of the people outside the door, who desperately refused to accept the news of their illness, desperately accused and abused those who might infect them, and staged a farce of big fights every now and then.

I was exhausted, Zhengqing was worried that I would be angry, and often avoided me to deploy troops to deal with this, occasionally I could hear him lose his temper at the imperial doctors, but every time he saw me, he was as calm as nothing happened, and occasionally comforted me: "It's okay, it's over soon." ”

Actually, I didn't know that he was trying to comfort me, no one knows the seriousness of this epidemic better than me, but what else can we do but persevere!

"General, a few more people are coughing and breathless." Ren Yuming rushed over.

I hurried to the ground and fed the herbs to my men, and then immediately moved to another place to look after the other patients.

"My lord, my lord, my grandfather is dying, my lord, you save him, save him, please, my lord." A girl's cry came to my ears.

I followed the prestige and saw a teenage girl holding an old man, who was pale and unconscious.

I hurriedly ran over and did a preliminary examination, and I knew that the old man was complicated by heart disease, so I immediately took out the medicine I carried with me, sent it directly into the old man's mouth, gently sent it in with water, and slowly pushed it in with internal force.

"That's not the way to go." I muttered to myself.

"General, Lord He has cleared several courtyards near the ancestral hall, and some patients with unobvious symptoms can be sent over first." At this moment, Zong Zheng ran over and said.

"You send people over as soon as possible, divide the patients into different courtyards according to their symptoms, don't make a mistake, remember that the room must be ventilated, disinfected, and the medicine is sent over according to the amount, so that each patient can swallow it on time and in accordance with the amount." I admonished.

"Yes, General."

"Each room must be equipped with an imperial doctor, and communicate immediately when the situation is discovered, and no blind operation is allowed." I asked again.

"Yes!" Seeing that he methodically commanded the soldiers to send the patient out, the breath in the ancestral hall finally became not so turbid.

As the soup kept coming out, I went to the front hall to help feed the critically ill patients, and then put the empty medicine bowl into a tray and took it back to the inner courtyard. Walking to the corridor outside the pharmacy, I only felt extremely tired, and I couldn't hold on for a while, so I leaned against the wall to rest for a while.

He Zhengqing saw it in the courtyard, hurriedly stepped forward to take the tray and put it on the railing, and persuaded worriedly: "You should also go to sleep for a while." If even you are tired, won't there be no one to help? As he spoke, he took a handkerchief from his sleeve and tried to wipe the fine sweat from my forehead, but I took two steps back and deliberately avoided it.

"What's wrong?" He Zhengqing asked puzzled.

I leaned against the blue brick wall and asked in a low voice, "Zhengqing, aren't you afraid?" ”

?β€œ Afraid of what? I trust you, and you'll find a way. ”

I pondered in silence and did not answer. He asked him instead: "Master Zong, the first batch of patients who took medicine outside are improving now?" ”

He hurriedly replied: "Only a few people no longer have hemoptysis, but they still have high fevers. ”

?β€œ In that case, maybe we should try to add a ......."

I propped myself up slightly, knowing in my heart that although I had experienced these viruses in my previous life, after all, across time and space, each virus would be different even if it was somewhat similar, but I was afraid that it would not work according to my previous experience. I secretly made up my mind, my voice was soft, but my tone was firm, "Master Zong, you can't seek stability at this time, please try to be as bold as possible." I just got sick and I was ready to try the medicine. ”

"Onset? Onset! What do you mean? Zhengqing looked at the two of them in shock, "Test the medicine?" Why try the drug! Why do you want to try the drug if you're fine? How to try it? ”

The doctors in the room were silent, and after a while, I struggled to get up and came to the outer room, and it took me half an hour to write a new prescription and hand it to Zong Zheng on the side, "Go and decoct the medicine." ”

He took it and took a quick look, his face slightly shocked, "General, will it be too dangerous?" I looked at his bulging old hand, and sighed softly for a long time, "Decoction according to the prescription." ”

By this time, it was already dark, and the atmosphere was extremely dark with only a few oil lamps in the shops that had been converted into temporary wards.

I was tired and lying in bed, even though the epidemic was urgent, I had to let go temporarily, I understood that after a long journey of three days and three nights, my body itself would become a susceptible group due to exhaustion, and the recent contact with the patient, coupled with the inability to achieve complete isolation due to material problems, made it difficult for me to do a good job of protection, and the discomfort at this time should be the early symptoms!

I was thinking wildly, Zhengqing came from the pharmacy with a bowl of freshly boiled decoction, brought it to my bed, first helped me up halfway, touched my lips to test the temperature of the medicine, and carefully fed two spoonfuls.

My dark pupils were a little dilated, and I tried to look at Zhengqing intently, wanting him to leave, but seeing his determined eyes, I didn't open my mouth in the end, and drank the whole bowl of soup and medicine silently.

After supporting myself for more than half a month, fatigue, anxiety, disappointment and frustration seemed to drain the last bit of strength from me, I had red circles under my eyes, my forehead slowly leaned against Zhengqing's chest, and muttered: "If I can take precautions early, I won't be ...... like this"

He tightened his arms, his eyes flickered, and said, "Although I don't know the way of medicine, I always feel that this plague is strange, and I am afraid that it is not just a natural disaster. ”

I let out a long sigh, becoming more and more aware of the extraordinary, "You think so too?" At the beginning, I felt a little wrong, Jiangzhou is an important river transportation road and an important town for businessmen, how could it be that the epidemic was found in this place silently? I took a deep breath and tried to cheer up, "The situation in Jiangzhou should deteriorate next, the flow of people is so huge, the whole country will not be able to hide it for a long time, what is the imperial court going to do?" ”onclick="hui"
