Chapter 293: Calming Qi and Prolonging Life
In Baishi County, the entire county seat is in a kind of relative silence.
This was not only because the night was already late, but also because the outbreak of the epidemic was so violent that too many people died.
Yi Shuyuan's original destination was naturally Zhaozhou City, but he definitely wanted to come and see Baishi County, but as early as Dengzhou City, he knew that it was completely late here.
Several Yin cha patrolled the city, searching for plague ghosts who might be hiding, and there were piles of corpses on the mass graves outside the city, and there was no family to help with the burial, and a miasma filled the vicinity of Baishi County.
Yi Shuyuan left the horses in the forest more than ten miles away, and when he stepped into the wind near Baishi County, Yinchen unfolded it lightly, and a flame swept around, burning all the miasma.
The plague in the city has "stabilized", and it seems that those who are still alive will not get sick again, and the "damned" ones have all died.
It can be seen from this that when the Baishi County Order sent that urgent letter, the situation had already become completely serious to the point of hopelessness.
At the same time, it also made Yi Shuyuan understand that this plague was definitely very ferocious, and his condition was definitely very serious.
Yi Shuyuan fell from the wind and walked through the quiet streets of Baishi County, a large county town that had been barely damaged by the flood and had only been blown down by a typhoon, and now probably the quietest county in Zhaozhou.
However, there are no ghosts in the city at this time.
A yin errand passed by the street, he looked at Yi Shuyuan and seemed a little surprised, in this situation in Baishi County, there was a Confucian student walking around the street in the middle of the night with a fan?
It's just that at this moment, Yi Shuyuan also looked at Yincha, which made the latter slightly startled, can he see me?
When he was secretly frightened, Yi Shuyuan had already given up his hand before speaking.
"In Xia Yi Shuyuan, may I ask this Yin Sicha person, what is the cause of this epidemic, what are the symptoms of the patients, and if it is not properly treated, how long will it take from the onset of the disease to death? Also, are there still healers in the city? ”
Ordinary doctors want to understand a disease they have never seen before, which often represents a relatively long and cruel process.
Yi Shuyuan is different, he has experienced the epidemic in Baishi County, and he needs to guide the dead to Huangquan, so he must know the intermediate process very well.
Many things can't be calculated by pinching, especially in Lingdong today, and the more information you know, the clearer it can be calculated.
Yincha's heart jumped suddenly, he didn't dare to slack off, and solemnly bowed and returned the salute.
"It turned out to be Yi Daozi Immortal Venerable!"
In this place in Lingdong, unconsciously, many ghosts and gods seem to call Yi Daozi an immortal venerable, not an immortal chief.
As for the question that Yi Shuyuan asked before, Yin Cha was afraid that he would not answer well enough.
"Xianzun, although there is no longer a living doctor in this Baishi County, there is still a healer's yin soul on the Yin Division, if it is convenient for Xianzun, please follow me to the Yin Division!"
"Okay, but it's faster, I'll go to Zhaozhou City after dawn!"
"Yes, Immortal Venerable, please!"
In the Yin Division of Baishi County, Yi Shuyuan, accompanied by Chenghuang himself, not only saw many ghosts who died of illness, but also saw Sui Bangying, the county commander of Baishi County, yes, he also died.
Dozens of doctors in Baishi County were not spared, which is also one of the tragedies in Baishi County.
However, these doctors did not die in vain, at least they told Yi Shuyuan about their own experience and some inferences, and even some effective methods.
When Yi Shuyuan left from the Yin Division of Baishi County, he was completely aware of the situation of the epidemic in his heart, and he already had ideas from control to medicine, but it was still the same sentence, and the medicinal materials were not enough.
As for the plague ghosts, it's actually okay, Gray Mian should have taken Qi Zhongbin to Zhaozhou, and the Yin Division of Baishi County has also gone to various places to warn, at least the common plague ghosts are not a big problem.
——
In the early morning of the second day, when Jian Lu returned to Dengzhou City with a hurried horse all night, Yi Shuyuan led the frightened and numb horse to the ground outside Zhaozhou City.
Here, you can already see the checkpoints of the government, which are still very rudimentary, obviously built in a hurry, and prohibit the people from passing through at will.
After Yi Shuyuan got on the horse, he walked towards the checkpoint, and naturally he was also stopped.
"Stop, Fang Zhaozhou City is temporarily forbidden to go!"
Yi Shuyuan hurriedly dismounted, took out the letter and token from his arms and handed them over.
"Here is a doctor from Dengzhou City, on the order of Lord Qincha Li, he came to report important matters, and please don't stop them!"
The official at the head only took the token and glanced at the envelope, and immediately understood the authenticity.
Dengzhou City, the doctor, the order of the Qincha, these elements were combined, and several officials immediately understood, and the order of the Qincha really arrived!
"Sir, please get on the horse and go to Zhaozhou City as soon as possible!"
"Thank you!"
After Yi Shuyuan got on the horse, another official also led the horse over and ran to Zhaozhou City with him.
It wasn't long after dawn at this moment, but there was already tension in Zhaozhou City, and the doctors in the city had already received the news last night.
Beginning this morning, under the leadership of many doctors, the official mission, together with many young craftsmen recruited by the imperial court, began to screen healthy people in the city, and vacated some houses to prepare for the centralized reception of the sick.
Yi Shuyuan's arrival made Zhaozhou Zhizhou Wanshixing both happy and afraid, but no matter what he said now, at least he didn't have any big faults.
And the arrival of Yi Shuyuan also relieved the pressure on Wan Shixing, giving great support and delegating power, but also reducing his own responsibility.
Yi Shuyuan came as a doctor, and he is a doctor with experience in dealing with plagues.
Although some of the doctors in Zhaozhou City may have some complaints, after two days of contact, they gradually understood that Lord Zhizhou obeyed the arrangements of the Dengzhou doctor.
It is one thing to separate mild and severe cases, send people into the mountains to collect medicinal herbs, and isolate them in batches for centralized diagnosis and treatment.
The management of food, clothing, housing and transportation for patients and ordinary people is one thing.
Mobilize people in the government and people in the rivers and lakes with internal strength, cooperate with acupuncture and massage, for the patient, the key is to regulate the qi of each doctor, and on the other hand, after all, it is necessary to ensure that the doctor who treats the disease has as few problems as possible.
In fact, many doctors can think of these, and they are also some common principles in medicine, but in this chaotic environment, being able to deploy in an orderly manner shows that it is not something that an ordinary doctor can do.
But even so, the plague in Zhaozhou City still broke out, even if a group of doctors summoned by Qin Cha came to help, the entire Zhaozhou was still in a hurry, but it was not a mess.
Fortunately, Li Qian had transferred the drug resources that Lingdong could deploy to Zhaozhou City as much as possible, and official messengers to deliver medicine arrived one after another.
——
On the evening of the seventh day after Yi Shuyuan arrived in Zhaozhou City, in a medical hall in the east of the city, a group of doctors at this moment were discussing the adjustment of the prescription.
In addition to various prescriptions and symptoms, there are also various medicinal materials in the bamboo weaving on the ground, and none of the doctors are sitting, all around the discussion of various dry and wet medicinal materials.
To tell the truth, the scene was as hot as a quarrel.
"A few days ago, Fangzi has seen results, proving that all patients should fight the cold with fire and strike while the iron is hot!"
"You are a serious patient, each patient has a different physique, how can you do this, you can't make up for it, you can't make a big deal of meat, you're going to have an accident like this!"
"Don't I know that everyone has a different constitution? Teach with you? Naturally, you need to adjust the dosage according to your physique! ”
During the quarrel between the two doctors, some people expressed their opinions.
"I think for people who have been unable to see results for a long time, they should stop using medicine, and now there is a shortage of medicinal materials."
"What do you mean?" "You're a careless man!"
"I'm trying to save more people!"
A group of doctors quarreled, still blushing and thick-necked, and even clenched their fists and had the urge to move.
Whenever this happens, the officials on the side have to hurry over and persuade them to leave, otherwise it is likely that there will really be a fight.
Hu Kuangming sat in the corner, holding a pen in his hand and spreading out the paper on the table, although he kept writing but frowned, he also knew that everyone was really trying to find a way.
At this time, Yi Shuyuan came in from the outside, and the internal quarrel was a lot quieter all of a sudden.
It seems that all the doctors arrived early, only he Yi Shuyuan was on time, but it seemed like he was late.
"Mr. Yi is here!" "Mr. Yi, is there any news of medicinal materials?"
Yi Shuyuan nodded and shook his head.
"The imperial court is naturally arranged, but it can't be there for a while, dragging down the epidemic and reducing the symptoms of the patients!"
"Oops!" "Fierce medicine, fierce medicine, there must be medicine."
Yi Shuyuan's arrival only interrupted the quarrel for a short time, but it did not stop the quarrel later, exhausting everyone's wisdom, and in the end, he could only compromise on the middle, just to save medicinal materials and delay the disease, so that the patient could last a while longer.
Everyone was very busy, and left immediately after the discussion, although Hu Kuangming felt that he had studied a lot, his head was also a few laps, and his head seemed to be buzzing.
In the lobby of this medical hall, only a few young doctors, including Yi Shuyuan and Hu Kuangming, as well as some officials.
Yi Shuyuan walked to Hu Kuangming's table, a lot of the ink on the latter's table had not yet dried, and he didn't remember all the nonsense, as a doctor, he naturally knew which ones were the key and which ones were saliva.
"Mr. Yi, this is what everyone discussed just now, and the points of contention and some scriptures have been recorded! It's just a little too confusing."
Yi Shuyuan swept the contents on the table, and his face was relatively calm.
"To fight a pandemic, to face a war, we also need to strategize, we also need to deploy troops, we need to consider logistics and supplies, we need to consider the emotions of all parties, and we also need to consider all kinds of variables, and our enemy is not a visible soldier, but an invisible sickness."
After speaking, Yi Shuyuan picked out a piece of useful content, and then left with the paper.
Walking outside the medical hall, it was already dark.
Yi Shuyuan calculated the time slightly, before he came, a considerable number of people in Zhaozhou City had already been infected, and now this part of the people is almost ten days old, and they are also the group of people with the most serious symptoms.
After being in contact for so long, Yi Shuyuan understood that this disease was extraordinary, in addition to the internal and external causes of the patient, there must be other effects, and about ten days was a hurdle.
Now that a strict curfew is in place throughout Zhaozhou City, it is recommended that ordinary people move less even during the day, especially within 50 steps of the epidemic area, so there is basically no one on the streets.
When Yi Shuyuan passed by an alley, two voices stopped him.
"Master!" "Sir!"
Qi Zhongbin and Gray Mian had been waiting here for a long time, but Yi Shuyuan's footsteps were only a slight pause before continuing to move forward, and Qi Zhongbin followed out with a trick.
"Master, the plague ghosts everywhere have almost been killed, but I always feel that there is a strange aura there, and it seems that it has nothing to do with the plague."
"Yes, I feel it too, but I didn't get close to Zhaozhou!"
Yi Shuyuan frowned slightly, and glanced at Qi Zhongbin and Gray Mian, he was now in Zhaozhou and was wrapped in the plague qi, and he really didn't notice anything.
"Keep an eye on it, and."
"Let Miss Chen pay attention, don't cast spells to save people at every turn, this epidemic is a continuation of the catastrophe, saving people is not only extremely damaging to mana, and it may not be effective, I really want to save more people, follow and learn some medical skills."
"Yes! I'll tell you about it, but that's how it goes."
Qi Zhongbin hesitated for a moment, but still spoke.
"Master, I'm afraid Zhaozhou City won't be able to support the reinforcements of the imperial court!"
Yi Shuyuan flew out of his sleeve, and there was a small white jade box on it, and Qi Zhongbin subconsciously reached out to catch it.
"Put the jade shock and the things in the box into the spring well in the city, suppress the Dan Qi and not leave, and take the well water for the people in the city, which is enough to support for a period of time."
"Guiyuan Dan?"
Gray Mian's stunned voice also made Qi Zhongbin's heart move, and he subconsciously looked at the white jade box in his hand, this is the elixir in the mouth of Gray Senior?
During this time, in addition to meeting the master in excitement at first, he and Chen Han went everywhere to search for epidemic ghosts, and also searched for possible external causes.
