Chapter 61 Plague Leptospirosis

Along the way, Qin Yuqing's mind was in turmoil, and it would be a lie to say that he was not afraid.

If it is a disaster beyond common sense like the "parasite" in Yanyun City, how can she save people?

She was also worried that it was a plague she had never known about, a modern infectious disease, or perhaps a mutated infectious disease.

"Where are all the sick people in the city?" Qin Yuqing figured it out. Instead of daydreaming here, it would be better to start from a practical point of view. She believed that there must be an antidote within a hundred steps.

"They're all concentrated in the largest temple in the south of the city. The monks have been away practicing in recent years, so it's vacant." Park Qingyu explained the previous arrangements. "I've placed people with different levels of illness in different rooms. Each room is independent and unconnected."

This is simple isolation.

Qin Yuqing nodded. After all, it was ancient times, and all the basic equipment was definitely not as complete as modern ones, but such isolation was far from enough.

"Qingyu, do you have any idea to let all the sick people live in separate rooms?" Qin Yuqing knew that this was a bit unreasonable. "Even if there are many places to stay, they must live separately."

"Okay, don't worry. There aren't many people left alive now." A hint of despair flashed across Pu Qingyu's face. "After years of floods and the current plague, except for those who left Ling County a few years ago, most of the others are dead."

The atmosphere was silent again.

"As long as I'm here, nothing will happen to Ling County." Qin Yuqing stood at the door of the temple. For the first time, she hoped that the Buddha would bless the people and stop them from suffering.

"I believe in Her Royal Highness." Park Qingyu and Qin Yuqing pushed open a door. A slight cough sounded in the room. Park Qingyu continued, "This is the person with the mildest symptoms."

"Is it Mr. Yu?" Someone tried to get out of bed with all his strength, but was held by Park Qingyu.

"Who is this?" Everyone looked at Qin Yuqing who was standing next to Park Qinghe. Although they did not recognize the Sixth Princess, they could guess who the noble person was by looking at Qin Yuqing's dress and her temperament.

"I am the Sixth Princess Qin Yuqing. I'm sorry everyone, I'm late." After saying this, Qin Yuqing walked quickly forward and carefully inquired about the physical condition of each patient.

She was accompanied by a trustworthy old Chinese doctor. Although Qin Yuqing had had some contact with him in modern times, she was by no means proficient in it, so she had to cooperate with the old Chinese doctor.

Qin Yuqing stretched out his hand and pressed on the calves of different people. Some people felt slight pain when pressed, while some refused to be pressed and suffered unbearable pain, making them unable to walk. It looked like tenderness in the gastrocnemius muscle.

The whites of everyone's eyes were bright red, and their eyeballs were bloodshot, looking like conjunctival congestion.

There is another group of people whose situation is slightly different. They experience vomiting and unstoppable diarrhea, which then leads to dehydration. This is related to the digestive system.

Some people have sore throats and cannot speak. When they open their mouths, you can see that their tonsils are swollen and there seems to be congestion in their throats.

Park Qingyu followed Qin Yuqing with the banknotes in her hand, taking notes carefully. Although she didn't understand what Qin Yuqing and the old Chinese doctor were saying, her panicked heart gradually calmed down.

As long as the Sixth Princess is here, there will be no problem that cannot be solved.

After one round, Qin Yuqing had an idea in his mind. It was most likely a natural epidemic disease.

These people developed the disease early, or in modern terms, it is still in the early stages, so they all look more or less energetic.

"Please arrange for people to live in separate rooms. No one is allowed to leave without my order." Qin Yuqing stood at the door, and she continued to give orders to Pu Qingyu while panting.

"Assign people to deliver meals to them at designated times and locations every day. For those experiencing diarrhea or vomiting, prepare some salt water. Mix the proportions as I've specified."

Park Qingyu nodded. She called the soldiers and told them what Qin Yuqing had said. The soldiers took action without saying a word.

Although the people in the room did not understand why they had to do this, they still lined up obediently, each person standing at a distance, and followed the soldiers to different rooms.

Qin Yuqing was originally worried about whether these people would cooperate with the command. Fortunately, they trusted Lord Shen and Mr. Yu, so he chose to trust himself who was trusted by these two.

The pressure suddenly increased a lot, and Qin Yuqing didn't dare to rest too much. After asking the old Chinese doctor, he made sure that he could still hold on and went to the next hospital.

Before arriving here, I heard a low, heart-wrenching cough, and when I pushed open the door, I could smell a strong smell of blood.

Many people could only turn their heads slowly when they heard the sound. They wanted to greet Qin Yuqing and his group with a smile, but as soon as they opened their mouths, coughing accompanied by bleeding blocked everyone's speech.

Qin Yuqing closed her eyes. She had gradually determined the cause of the disease. This time, the process was very fast, both in terms of the diagnosis from the old Chinese doctor and the results of the questioning.

All of them have problems with their hearts and lungs. The blood they cough up is most likely bleeding caused by lung infection. Some people have dull pain in their hearts and pain when breathing, which is very likely myocarditis.

In the last courtyard, when Qin Yuqing pushed open the door, it was no exaggeration to describe it as dead and gloomy. Many people had already lost consciousness.

Some people could only make a little hissing sound when they heard the sound, and they couldn't even see people clearly.

After they finished looking around, Qin Yuqing led everyone to a clean room. She asked Pu Qingyu, "Was there anything unusual before the plague broke out in the city?"

Park Qingyu shook his head: "Everyone was trying to find a way to drain the water in the city, so there was nothing unusual."

"This is impossible." Qin Yuqing simply wrote the information in his mind on a piece of paper. Pu Qingyu took a look at it but didn't understand what he was writing.

"Are there any abnormalities like livestock or animals? For example, pigs or rats?" Qin Yuqing asked again.

"Now that I remember," Pu Qingyu pulled out a map of the south and a few letters. "About a month ago, not only in Ling County, but also in Cangzhou, a large number of rats appeared."

It was indeed the plague.

Qin Yuqing took the letter and map, and after carefully examining them, she said, "It seems that Cangzhou is the same as Lingjun." Qin Yuqing lowered her head and wrote the letters quickly. This time, she only wrote four letters with simple words.

She handed one of the letters to Park Qingyu and said, "I don't know the situation in Cangzhou as well as you do. Please be sure to give this letter to the person in charge of Cangzhou and conduct preliminary diagnoses on all patients according to the method I just used."

"As for the medicine and food, give half of what I brought to Cangzhou first. I will find a way to solve the subsequent problems."

Pu Qingyu nodded. She called her confidant, handed the letter to that person, and told him to avoid the crowd, set out secretly, and find Lord Chen of Cangzhou to check it personally.

Qin Yuqing no longer concealed the fact that everyone here was trustworthy, so he called all the secret guards.

"Give this letter to Shen Yanqing in Yanyun City and say it's from me. No one will stop you." Qin Yuqing handed a letter to the secret guard and said, "You and he will go together. The two of you will take care of each other on the road."

"Okay, master." The secret guard left quickly.

"You should give this letter to him. Remember to stop him and don't let him come." Qin Yuqing handed the letter to the secret guard and instructed, "The capital needs him."

"Okay, master. If you can't stop us, there's nothing we can do." Without giving Qin Yuqing a chance to react, the three secret guards left the room.

"Remember, His Majesty must open them personally. You can try to make a few fake ones, but this one must be handed over to His Majesty." Qin Yuqing handed the last letter to the secret guard.

"For the remaining people, half will go to Cangzhou to defend secretly, and the rest will assist Qingyu in defending Lingjun. If you find anyone suspicious, just give them a break."

"Yes, Master."

After arranging everything, Qin Yuqing rubbed her forehead. She recalled modern medical knowledge. Looking at everyone's condition, it looked very much like modern leptospirosis. In modern times, there must be special medicines for it, but this was ancient times.

At this time, the old Chinese doctor flipped through the book and said in surprise: "Princess, Mr. Yu, I found it."

Qin Yuqing turned her head to look, and the familiar prescription made her successfully recall the literature she had seen in modern times.

By chance, her best friend was obsessed with traditional Chinese medicine at that time and insisted on asking her to study it with her. It just so happened that the lectures she attended during that period were mainly on various infectious diseases.

Qin Yuqing picked up the pen and wrote down the prescriptions in her memory. She remembered there were several prescriptions, but there was one prescription that was repeatedly emphasized by her best friend.

"This prescription has the highest cure rate. Although the process is a bit troublesome, it is at least much safer than the following prescriptions." The best friend was sitting in the library and telling her about the literature she had collected.

Qin Yuqing was drinking coffee at the time. He had been staying up all night with her for several consecutive nights. He yawned loudly and said lazily.

"Why are you so obsessed with Traditional Chinese Medicine lately? Maybe you've read too many time-travel novels and want to become a Chinese medicine practitioner after traveling through time?"

"What if? What if someone as beautiful as me, with such good conditions, chooses me? I should prepare early and make plans early." My best friend pushed her arm at that time.

"Don't be sleepy, come and watch it with me. My memory is not as good as yours. You should remember it quickly so that you can help me cheat when the teacher does a random check."

Qin Yuqing was helpless: "Yes, yes, the future great mediocre doctor."

Thoughts return to the present.

"Doctor, what do you think of this prescription?" Qin Yuqing handed the written prescription to the old Chinese doctor, with detailed dosage marked on it.

The old Chinese doctor's eyes gradually lit up, and he kept muttering while holding the prescription: "Why didn't I think of this?"

Qin Yuqing looked at the old Chinese doctor and breathed a sigh of relief. She had thought that the names of Chinese medicine in this world would be different from those in her world, but she didn't expect that to be the case.

Qin Yuqing remembered that there were some particular requirements for decocting the medicine in this prescription, so he recited the contents and instructed, "In addition, if the patient is still experiencing a fever, take it every two hours. The dosage does not need to be too large, just the amount of an ordinary bowl of rice."

There was a glimmer of light in the old Chinese doctor's eyes, and Park Qingyu finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing his reaction, hoping that it would be useful.

"After the fever subsides, take it every three hours, about one and a half bowls each time. Remember to take it continuously for three to five days."

Qin Yuqing rubbed his sore temples and said, "Come with me and find a way to get rid of all the rats in the city. Don't let any of them go, dead or alive."

"No need to be so troublesome, I have a way." Park Qingyu clapped his hands with a smile.

A group of kittens appeared in the room.
