For a moment, Xu Changshou looked at a few insects on the ground.

"It seems that it was because of this flute that these little things were drawn out!" Xu Changshou looked at the teenage boy in front of him, and next to the young man was a middle-aged woman with a stiff body, and the woman's face was cold and stiff.

Looking at the insects on the ground, Xu Changshou's first thought was insects and the like, but how could the sound of the flute attract those fingernail-sized insects, maybe it was just because they had been tamed.

After a few guesses, he walked towards Ruan Xiaopei.

"Brother Xu, don't come here, I'll infect you!"

Ruan Xiaopei played the flute, and saw those black insects climbing on his body, but the boy didn't seem to show any discomfort.

"Xiao Pei, who are these bugs?" Xu Changshou pointed to the insects on the ground and asked Ruan Xiaopei.

"They are called health Gu, I have the plague, these things can help me suppress the plague!"

Ruan Xiaopei put away the recorder, and saw a small black beetle-like thing climbing into his palm.

"Health Gu?"

Xu Changshou knew that there were Gu masters in this world, so he wasn't too nervous, he was just curious about how the young man in front of him survived after being infected with the plague.

"This is an old Taoist priest who gave it to me! It is said that they can be controlled by playing the flute and get rid of the plague! Ruan Xiaopei explained.

Xu Changshou was in the mood for a while.

"Daoist? Geezer? But a fortune teller? Xu Changshou then asked.

Ruan Xiaopei's eyes widened, "How does Brother Xu know?" ”

"Eh, one side!" Xu Changshou explained simply.

"Why is it him again? Isn't the old man of Qingping Mountain a Taoist priest? Also learn from Gu masters to raise Gu? Xu Changshou felt unbelievable for a while.

Then Xu Changshou glanced at Ruan Xiaopei, and then took him to a nearby medical center, where he was startled when he saw the Gu worms climbing on the young man's body.

After settling Ruan Xiaopei, Xu Changshou decided to go to Yongle County to explore the root cause of the plague and find a solution.

First, I went to the major medical centers that treated the sick, the government yamen that provided relief to the victims, and even went to the morgue where the plague corpses were temporarily stored, but they found nothing.

When I returned to Yongle County, I looked at the adults in the court with sad faces, and I was also bitter.

At this time, a handyman ran outside the house, and he knelt down in front of Li Wuzhen and replied:

"My lord, most of the patients in the hospital have high fevers! Quite a few people have died! ”

Li Wuzhen was stunned.

"Where's the doctor who sent in?"

"They are all infected with the plague!"

Li Wuzhen suddenly felt a lot of pressure, so he looked at Xu Changshou who was obsessed with reasoning on the side.

"Xu Changshou, what can you do?"

Xu Changshou was silent for a moment, he was neither a doctor nor a doctor, and asked me what to do?

Then he bluntly said: "What symptoms does the patient have!" ”

"The small ones only know that the patients have always had a high fever, and the others don't know yet." The handyman said euphemistically.

Seeing that the handyman didn't know anything except for the high fever, Xu Changshou felt that he should go and see it in person.

"Please allow the grass people to go and investigate!" Xu Changshou arched his hand and looked at Li Wuzhen with a sad face on the side

Li Wuzhen did not hesitate, "Come on, prepare the horse!" ”

After a while, everyone rushed to the place called Yongkang Medical Hall, which the handyman was referring to.

After getting off the horse, Li Wuzhen and the others entered the hospital after taking protective measures, and Xu Changshou followed.

In the spacious main hall of the medical hall, patients lay on straw mats on the floor, scratching their ears and cheeks from time to time, lamenting and sighing, and in great pain.

Li Wuzhen then asked the doctor on the side.

"How's the patient?"

The doctor sighed and said, "Don't hide it, we have tried many methods, but according to the ancient law books, it is ineffective to reduce the fever!" Most of these unfortunate patients died because of high fever. ”

Xu Changshou then looked at the row of patients in the room again, and looked the same:

The ears are hot and red, the fever does not go away, the forehead is sweating from time to time, and there are some red spots on the skin.

"Whew! The high fever does not go away, but unfortunately there is no special medicine in ancient times, and I want to reduce the fever in the short term! No solution. "Xu Changshou has a big head.

The ancient texts don't work, so why not try something else.

Xu Changshou smelled some opportunities in his limited brain capacity.

"Since it's a high fever! Why not try physical cooling first. ”

Xu Changshou said.

"What is physical cooling?"

For the first time, Li Wuzhen touched his own blind spot in knowledge.

"Is there any wine?"

Xu Changshou glanced at Li Wuzhen.

When do you still want to drink? I have invited you to cure the pestilence, not to drink and have fun.

Li Wuzhen was stunned with suspicion at first.

looked at Xu Changshou's sincere eyes, and planned to believe him once.

A handyman was then sent to carry a jar of spirits.

Xu Changshou took a bowl, poured a bowl of spirits, and then walked over to a patient with a high fever who was tossing and turning on the mat.

He smeared the liquor on the man's forehead and all over his body.

But after a while, the patient miraculously regressed from a high fever, and Li Wuzhen was stunned, just relying on a bowl of wine?

"The old man uses it to drink on weekdays, and you use it to treat diseases and save people?"

Xu Changshou looked at the dumbfounded Lord Li firmly in front of him, that's right, just rely on a bowl of wine!

"What is this?"

Seeing that this group of officialdom adults who were obsessed with Jinglun strategy didn't understand anything, Xu Changshou explained: "This method is called physical cooling, although it cannot cure the plague, but it is enough to achieve cooling in a very short time. ”

"Well, the general principle is ...... Wine contains alcohol, which is easy to volatilize, and when it volatilizes, it is easy to take away a lot of heat and play a role in cooling. ”

"At the same time! Alcohol stimulates the expansion of blood vessels in the skin, which increases blood flow, which takes away the temperature of the patient's body surface area and thus reduces fever. ”

Li Wuzhen and the other adults were at a loss.

What is he saying?

"As we all know, if you learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, you are not afraid to go all over the world, in our village, you adults belong to the scumbags who don't know anything!"

Xu Changshou couldn't help but feel a little inexplicably superior.

"Is this really the case with wine?"

Seeing Master Li groaning, Xu Changshou nodded confidently.

"The old man has lived most of his life, and he has never seen such a curer as you!" The doctor on the side was suddenly amazed, and the heavenly spirit cover rushed to the sky.

"It's not medicine, it's science!"

It's all words that you don't understand.

Hey! Xu has a modern education program that lasted for nine years, I wonder if you adults can sign up?

Xu Changshou glanced at the adults.

A little knowledge of his previous life appeared in his head, and he seemed to have found the straw to cure the plague, so he bowed his hand to Li Wuzhen and said:

"Adults may find honeysuckle, forsythia, houttuynia cordata, banyan root, licorice, menthol, rhubarb...... And so on? ”

For a person who is often bored to read the ingredient list after taking medicine, this is something Xu Changshou can be proud of.

What about the name of the dish, what are you?

After listening to Xu Changshou's words, Li Wuzhen was silent for a moment.

"These seem to be ordinary herbs, what do you want them to do?" Li Wuzhen asked.

Xu Changshou smiled slightly, "In the early years, the grass people heard a little about medical books, and heard that there was a good medicine to cure the plague!" The name of this medicine is Lotus Qingwen! ”

Xu Changshou, the manual is not interesting, you can't do this!

Li Wuzhen, who had an anxious face, said in a deep voice: "Lotus Qingwen? Is there really such a miraculous elixir? ”

"Joke! How can they cure the plague? The old man has read countless medical books, how can he not know that there is such an elixir in the world? When it's fake! The doctor on the side laughed, quite incredulous.

"If you can find these medicinal herbs, I have my own way to help you eradicate the plague!"

Seeing that Xu Changshou was so confident, this Master Li frowned and slightly relaxed his nervousness.

"Your Excellency, you might as well let him try!" Guo He arched his hand.

As for Zhang Xianling and Master Zhang on the side, they just waited and watched, and they didn't even have a chance to interject.

Li Wuzhen then looked at the doctor on the side, and the doctor looked at Xu Changshou with some criticism.

"Sir is looking for it." Xu Changshou said confidently.

Then the doctor left the scene and returned to the clinic to get his medicine.

"Also, please prepare a medicine stove for boiling medicines!" Xu Changshou added to the doctor who was grabbing the medicine in the room.

Suddenly, the old doctor took out the medicine Xu Changshou said and a medicine stove.

"The thing is here, the old man wants to see what tricks you can play with a hairy boy who is not disrespectful!"

The old doctor handed over all the things to the handsome man in front of him, and then saw him stroke his beard and just wait for Xu Changshou to make a fool of himself.

For a while, I saw Xu Changshou set up the medicine furnace, and then added all the water and prepared medicinal materials to the medicine furnace to boil.

Half a cup of tea, wisps of heat wafted from above the medicine stove. Suddenly, the fragrance emitted by the combination of various medicinal materials came to the face.

It was the first time for Xu Changshou to boil medicine, but he always believed in one word: "Bet!" If you are content with the status quo, you will stagnate, and the "bet" brother is not called in vain.

I haven't studied medicine in my previous life, and I'm not a medical major, but the only memory in my head still plays a role.

"You're a doctor?"

The old doctor asked curiously about the young man in front of him who was boiling medicine with a fan in his hand.

Physician? Oh no! I'm a dart master!

Xu Changshou turned to a low voice and said: "Contemptible people are not talented, and in the early years, they had a little dabbling in medical skills. ”

"After all, it's a newborn calf with half a pot of water!" That's what the old doctor thought.

Oh, the medicine stove cooed and was surrounded by water vapor.

When the stove cooled, Xu Changshou poured the medicinal soup into a bowl and then divided it into several pottery bowls.

"Divide it among the guys!" Xu Changshou turned to call the handyman beside him.

The handyman took the yellow and clear decoction in Xu Changshou's hand, and was immediately choked by the strange smell of Chinese medicine.

Can this thing cure the plague?

"This substance has the effect of detoxifying plague and detoxification, and relieving lung heat, and it must be taken on time and in accordance with the amount every day, and when the time comes, it will work naturally!" After Xu Changshou finished speaking, he told the doctors and doctors who were responsible for admitting the patients on the side.

I saw him spread a piece of rice paper on the table, write down the prescription, and then hand it to the handyman on the side.

"Circulate it to the doctors and doctors." After Xu Changshou finished speaking, the miscellaneous servants were placed in accordance with the arrangement.

In the evening of the same day, Xu Changshou returned to the palace and handed over a prescription to the maid in charge of the house, while he returned to the west wing of the palace unhurriedly, took off the pure white mask covering his mouth and nose, and then sat down at a round table in the room, he picked up the butter shortbread on the plate that Rouge had just delivered, and took two bites.

Before I knew it, I fell asleep.
