The plague at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty caused immeasurable losses.

According to the 175th Xing 5 of the Later Han Dynasty Chronicles, in the 46 years from the 46th year of Emperor Jianning of the Han Dynasty to the 22nd year of Emperor Jian'an of the Han Dynasty, there were six national epidemics.

Among them, the plagues that have broken out in various places are even more numerous.

This plague lasted until the Western Jin Dynasty and the early Eastern Jin Dynasty.

The plague lasted for more than a hundred years.

Coupled with never-ending wars, as well as various natural and man-made disasters.

directly reduced the original population of more than 50 million to just over 10 million, a reduction of 40 million!

Among them, many people died due to wars, famines, and various natural disasters, but many more died because of plagues.

Plague is not just typhoid fever, but typhoid fever is the main force of many plagues.

Zhang Zhongjing mentioned in his book "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases" that he had more than 200 clansmen, and in less than ten years, two-thirds of them died, and seventy percent of them died of typhoid fever.

You can see the horror of typhoid fever.

Even Zhang Zhongjing, who is respected as the "saint of medicine", is helpless against typhoid fever, and a book of "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases" is also a drop in the bucket, although it has epoch-making significance, it cannot stop the ravages of typhoid plague.

These days of research and investigation.

Only then did Lu Yu understand that the so-called typhoid fever was completely different from his own speculation.

Typhoid fever in the modern medical sense refers to a class of acute intestinal infectious diseases caused by typhoid bacilli.

However, at this time, typhoid fever did not have a clear definition and included a wide range.

In a small way, the common cold, flu, pneumonia, and other diseases with symptoms such as cough and fever are "caused by external cold" are all classified as typhoid fever.

Broadly speaking, all exogenous fevers are classified as typhoid fever, including many virulent and infectious diseases called "plagues".

In the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing-Suwen-Heat Treatise", it is said: "Those who are sick with fever today are all typhoid fever and the like."

"Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases" also says: "Wounded by the four seasons, warm in spring, hot in summer, cool in autumn, cold in winter, can all be diseases." Those who take typhoid fever as poison are also the most murderous ones, and those who are sick are typhoid fever. ”

People with typhoid fever have different symptoms, ranging from mild to severe, and with the medical conditions of this era, it is not realistic to cure typhoid fever at all.

Therefore, people can only pin their hopes on the runic water of Taiping Road.

In the past few days, Lu Yu has seen more symptoms of typhoid fever.

I also saw a lot of people who were desperate.

In Taiping Dao, the sound of coughing one after another, and the prayer sound of reciting the teachings of Taiping Dao, alternately circulating, seems particularly strange.

In such an environment, even people like Wei Ergou began to ask Kong Yue, who had read books, about the teachings of Taiping Dao, how to behave in order to be more pious?

Lu Yu listened to Wei Ergou's recitation with some dialects, and the others were led astray, and he couldn't help but want to laugh.

After finishing the recitation, Lu Yu found Wei Ergou and asked directly, "Do you really believe in the teachings of the Taiping Dao and the runic water?" ”

Wei Ergou replied helplessly: "Big brother, don't I believe that there is another way?" Also, big brother, don't say that outside. ”

This kind of thing, Lu Yu naturally wouldn't say it casually to outsiders.

He glanced at Wei Ergou and asked a very delicate question.

"What if I could come up with a medicine that would cure most typhoid patients?"

Hearing this, Wei Ergou's eyes widened, and then he whispered: "Then big brother, you will be a new great sage and good teacher in the future." ”

This is no joke.

If Lu Yu can come up with a miracle medicine to cure typhoid fever.

His prestige, his fame, will definitely skyrocket to an unprecedented level in an instant!

Even if you start from scratch, you will have a large following!

Seeing that the eldest brother Lu Yu was really pondering, as if he was thinking about whether to be this new great sage and good teacher, Wei Ergou showed a look of disbelief, and his mouth was open so wide that he could almost stuff an apple into it.

Wei Ergou hurriedly asked in a low voice, "Big brother, do you really have that kind of medicine?" ”

Lu Yu shook his head: "I just said it casually. ”

When Wei Ergou heard this, he immediately showed a helpless smile: "Big brother, don't make this kind of joke casually, scare me!" ”

Lu Yu waved his hand, sent Wei Ergou away, and walked alone on the way back.

"If we can get antibiotics, we should be able to cure most of the typhoid patients, right?"

"But it's not a little difficult to make antibiotics in this era."

"There are no antibiotics in the information collected from the little rich woman, and it is clear that they classify this item as a technological product after the Industrial Revolution."

"However, I remember some home-made antibiotics......"

"For typhoid fever at this stage, homegrown antibiotics should be the best antidote!"

"As long as we can get it out, we will have fewer deaths."

"However, whether you can get it out is the most important ......"

"We'll have to wait until the next summoning, and if it's a month this time, it's a little late."

Just when Lu Yu was thinking about this, he suddenly felt something, and said with some surprise: "Huh? Summoned again so soon this time? ”

Lu Yu hurriedly returned to his residence.

……

Bai Yuyao summoned with some trepidation.

She was a little worried about whether her request would make her Heroic Spirit unhappy, but even so, she had to ask.

After all, the safety of the father is related to the rise and fall of the entire family.

Since she was a child, she has always enjoyed the various benefits brought by her family, and has always been regarded by everyone as the pearl of her palm.

But she never had the opportunity to give back to her family.

But this time, she had to step up.

Seeing Lu Yu's slowly emerging phantom, Bai Yuyao said a little nervously: "I summoned you so quickly because I have something to ask you." ”

When Lu Yu heard this, he asked a little strangely, "What's the matter?" ”

It turned out that something had happened, no wonder it was summoned so quickly this time.

"That's right." Bai Yuyao hurriedly said: "My father is going to go to a secret realm with a few of his friends, which is an ancient tomb, the burial place of an ancient power, so it can be said that there are many dangers. ”

"I listened to them talk about this, and they seemed to have a great need for knowledge about Feng Shui to judge the various risks in the secret realm."

"The danger level of this secret realm is the most dangerous of all secret realms."

"Even if my father only plans to explore the periphery this time, and will not explore deeply, I am still a little worried."

"So, can I teach my father the secret art of Yin and Yang Feng Shui that you taught me?"

"I also understand the truth that the law cannot be passed on, but this is a matter of my father's safety, and I hope to make an exception."

Bai Yuyao asked cautiously, observing the changes in Lu Yu's expression at all times.

Lu Yu's expression was still calm, and he only pondered for a while, then nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"Is it really possible?!" When Bai Yuyao heard this, she jumped up happily, and she smiled and said, "That's great!" Thank you! You're really good! ”

"But ......," Lu Yu said.

"But what?" Bai Yuyao's heart suddenly rose again.

"You'll have to help me find some more information." Lu Yu said.

"Like last time?" Bai Yuyao asked.

"Hmm." Lu Yu nodded.

"That's it, it's a trivial matter, I'll help you contact you now!!"

Bai Yuyao breathed a sigh of relief.

She thought that Lu Yu was going to put forward some harsh conditions, but she didn't expect it to be just this, this is not a condition at all.

Hehe, my Heroic Spirit is really empathetic!

Soon.

After simple communication.

Lu Yu got the information he wanted.

In this pile of home-made antibiotics that seem unreliable, he really found a relatively reliable method!

"With ......"

"The miracle medicine to solve the plague is really there!"
