Chapter 76 Liquid Gold

There is no need to say what happened on the road. Finally, Wei Shengxue stood in front of a dilapidated temple. The system prompted that this was where the first patient appeared.

She didn't dare use her spiritual power and could only send out her divine sense to scan the area inch by inch. Apart from seeing that the environment was dirty and messy and that someone had lived here for a long time, there were no useful clues.

The system's small light ball bounced a few times in her sea of ​​consciousness, and there was a faint green code running rapidly.

[Please find a place to stay and don't disturb my calculations.]

"Have you found a clue?" Wei Shengxue asked in surprise.

[Ding! The system is working. If you have any needs, please leave a message in the hosting program.]

Weishengxue shut up, found a place to squat, and experienced the joy of being led by the big boss.

…

As night fell and the stars hung high in the sky, Fusu stood in front of the tower of the mountain stronghold and looked out. There was still no movement in the front, which was not illuminated by the torches.

It has been more than two hours since the city gates were closed. He should have returned no matter how late he was. But there is still no news. Could something have happened on the way?

He didn't think their lives would be in danger. With the immortals around, they wouldn't be the ones to die if they encountered danger.

He was just worried that he would be delayed on the way because of other things.

The most likely cause of this incident is the spread of an epidemic.

This situation has been occurring in the village for half a month. During this period, no one realized that this was a contagious disease, and people continued to go down the mountain to the city to purchase goods as usual, which greatly increased the risk of spreading the disease to other people.

The mountain stronghold is relatively isolated, so with proper control, the epidemic can be completely suppressed within its boundaries. However, if it spreads to the foothills, the flow of people will be unpredictable. If we are not careful, even the entire Dang County will fall.

Fusu looked around again for a while, but there was still no movement. He turned around and was about to go downstairs when he heard the faint sound of horse hooves.

"Young Master!"

The anxiety hidden in his words made him not even care about the other party's identity being exposed. He hurriedly ordered: "Open the gate."

The man dismounted and Fusu looked behind him. There was no one there except the boss.

"Where are the others?"

Wang Li ran all the way back, and both he and his horse were breathing heavily. He waved his hand and asked the villagers to take the horse away, and signaled Fusu to go in and talk later.

After the two entered the house, Wang Li immediately drank a few cups of cold water. The spring night breeze, still carrying a chill, blew in from the open window, and the chill made him feel much more sober.

"Sir, the immortal wants you to go over quickly."

Wang Li's face was filled with seriousness. "The epidemic has spread throughout Changyi. Doctor Xia and her colleagues encountered someone infected with the disease over twenty days ago. The county magistrate has now requested permission to investigate the case in Changyi, but the situation in the surrounding counties is unknown."

"The relevant memorial has been sent to Xianyang. Someone will be sent over in a few days."

Wang Li was afraid that he would worry, so he told him all the news he knew in one breath.

Fusu only had a thought to know the purpose of Wei Shengxue's call for him. He stood up without hesitation and said, "Come on, pack your bags."

Then he said to Wang Li, "Follow me to take over the relevant matters."

Although he was only in charge of the mountain stronghold for one day, he still had dozens of people under him who listened to him. He had to give orders first before he could be here again.

The boss was already waiting in front of the meeting hall. When he saw them coming, he didn't say much and directly ordered people to light torches and start discussing.

Ding ding ding!

This was a message to summon all the managers in the mountain stronghold. When the caravan leader got up from his sick body and rushed over with the villagers, he saw the eldest son and the head of the village sitting at the top, with Wang Li guarding them with a sword.

Fusu said, "Wang Li, follow me down the mountain. Meng Nan and Yang Zi will stay here. If necessary, we will take everyone to the quarantined village." He then looked at the team leader and said, "Don't act rashly. For now, let Peng Yue take charge."

The eldest leader said: "The immortal has found enough medicinal herbs, but the epidemic has spread down the mountain. We need to stay on the mountain for the time being and move to the village where the herbs are if necessary. Everyone who still has the strength, hold on. The guard of the mountain stronghold cannot be relaxed. Everyone, pack up what you need to pack first, otherwise you will be late and no one will accompany you back if you leave."

They had no intention of discussing with anyone, and the whole process was hurried. After a simple transfer of power, Fusu left with Wang Li and several guards.

He just turned back to look at his sister before leaving the village.

Princess Yangzi raised her hand to show him her amulet, smiled and nodded: Don't worry, I'll be fine.

After receiving the signal, Fusu kicked his horse's belly and galloped away.

…

In a villa outside Xianyang City.

A circle of tall trees surrounded the villa in the middle, and there was nothing within a few miles. As long as someone approached, the guards standing on the four corner buildings would definitely discover them immediately.

This is a courtyard that looks ordinary but is actually heavily guarded.

Walking along the path in the courtyard, you can enter a row of spacious houses. Glassware worth thousands of gold in Xianyang City is placed everywhere here, and some of them have fallen over and no one is there to help them.

A young woman in a plain white robe stood in front of a table, moving cautiously. She held her breath and lifted a corner of the sealed cloth. The golden liquid she saw almost made her scream in surprise.

She pinched a corner of the cloth and peeled it off in circles. She then took a small glass spoon and bowl and scooped out the golden liquid bit by bit.

Done!

She held the bowl as carefully as if it were an ancestral tablet, and placed it on the table beside her, placing it in the middle, away from any edges. She then used both hands to lift a lid, sealing it shut, and stepped back a few steps before taking a deep, uninhibited breath.

There were seven or eight more jars like the one just now. She followed the same steps to collect another seventy or eighty thousand gold liquids, then shook her aching arms, turned and walked out, shouting, "Someone come!"

A soldier in black armor appeared, "Doctor Song, please give your instructions."

Song Jing controlled her legs that were about to retreat and said calmly, "Is the death row prisoner I want ready?"

Ah! No matter how many times she sees the Black Armor Guard, she will never get used to it!

How could she have the right to let the Black Armor Guards who protect the emperor guard the gate?

As expected of an immortal, even His Majesty takes such importance in something she casually mentions! If she hadn't clung to such a powerful figure, she wouldn't be where she is today.

Thank you, Immortal! Praise you!

I’ll go burn three incense sticks for her later!

After thanking the immortal as usual, Song Jing tensed up again and ordered, "Take it to the drug testing room next door. Don't come here, so as not to pollute my laboratory."

The Xuanjia Guards were very quick and got the job done in less than half an hour.

Song Jing approached the death row prisoner. His injuries were not serious, but he was extremely weak at this moment. Even after being cleaned, his body still emitted a foul odor from the long and deep wound on his left hand.

The original wound was no longer visible, and the entire arm was oozing yellow, sticky, and smelly pus. If nothing unexpected happened, he would die of a high fever before his arm was completely rotten.

There were several people nearby who were less seriously injured than him. Each of them had similar injuries, but the degree of worsening was different. She came up with this idea based on the control group taught in the training class to test the efficacy of the medicine.

Song Jing took out a portion of golden liquid. The immortal said it was called allicin. She didn't know if what she made was the same thing, so she just called it golden garlic liquid.

The class said that the dosage of allicin was a few grams, and she didn't have such an accurate measurement method, so she scooped half a spoonful with a small spoon in the laboratory, mixed it with boiled and cooled water, put it in a cup of the same size, and fed it to them once every two hours.

Whoever survives will be able to cure the severity of the injury.

In order to eliminate the interference of individual physical fitness as much as possible, she took two or three more bowls and asked Xuanjiawei to try them on other death row prisoners.

The laws of the Qin Dynasty were strict, and the executioners were very skilled, making it easy for them to inflict dozens of similar injuries.

A few days later, the group with the most serious injuries died, but the two groups with the lightest injuries had their fevers subsided and were able to run and jump again.

After a few more days, a small number of the people with the second most serious injuries died, but most of them survived.

When the trial results were handed over, everyone had already seen a miracle.

Wang Ben grabbed the thin pieces of paper and performed a tough guy crying scene.

"If we had this miraculous medicine when we attacked the six kingdoms, how could our Great Qin soldiers have suffered so many casualties?"

The most common cause of death on the battlefield is not on the front lines, but from wound infections after the war.

Many soldiers would soak their weapons in gold juice or deliberately let them rust. If such weapons hit someone, even a single wound would be very likely to cause infection and lead to death.

The reason for the emergence of this miraculous military medicine was not for the soldiers, but to curb and eliminate the plague.

It really is fate.

"Your Majesty, please include this medicine in the military supplies!" Wang Ben stuffed the data sheet into the hands of the person next to him and tried to gain benefits for the army as soon as possible.

The generals standing behind him immediately followed suit, "I request the magical medicine to be included in the military supplies!"

Whoever has not yet recruited his men, there will always be a time when they will be needed, so just put them in the bowl first.

Feng Chang, the Imperial Medical Bureau's immediate superior, immediately jumped out and said, "This item should be brought to the Imperial Medical Bureau and kept by the doctors. If needed, it can be distributed separately."

Ying Zheng sat on the throne, the shadows from his drooping eyelids making him look particularly unpredictable. "We'll discuss this later."

"The Imperial Medical Bureau has sent people to learn the production method. They brought Song Jing with them on this trip. The primary goal is to control the plague."

"Government of millet internal history."

"I am here."

"Count all the garlic in the warehouse and transport it to Dang County."

"yes."

"Instruct the Junshu Lingcheng to cooperate and have all the counties along the way collect the garlic and transport it to Dang County."

"yes."

"Wang Ben, you will be in charge of the Dangjun trip."

"yes."

Xianyang City is busy preparing disaster relief supplies.

Dang County, hundreds of miles away, was also not peaceful.

Fusu rode out of the stronghold overnight. He didn't even go to the isolated village, but went straight to the outside of Changyi City. Relying on his status as the eldest prince and the jade pendant that Qin Shihuang carried with him, he knocked on the city gate and drove straight in to find the magistrate of Changyi County.

The magistrate of Changyi County came from a Confucian family and was a fellow student of Chunyu Yue, one of his many teachers. He was a kind and benevolent person. Although he was a bit pedantic and stubborn, he would never allow a disaster to go on or conceal it.

When Fusu first met him, he spoke without waiting for him to greet him, "The immortal has come to Changyi in person and has taught the method of treatment. Quickly mobilize the troops and guard the checkpoints. Don't let the exiles spread the disease at will."

The identity token representing the eldest son of the First Emperor and the jade pendant engraved with the emperor's name were hung in front of the county magistrate, making him subconsciously bow his head and accept the order.

"Also, summon all the doctors in the county and ask them to go to the immortal to learn how to treat the disease. There should be no delay."
