That is also a folk remedy passed down by the ancestors of the local people. No matter whether adults or children, as long as they have a headache or fever, they can dig some moss, dry it in the sun or on the kang, then grind it into powder, and take it with warm water, and they will soon recover.

The ancestor of the Cai family did not believe it at first, but after trying it himself, he found that it did have a certain therapeutic effect, so he tried to prepare dried moss and fresh moss separately, and then mixed them with the decoction and boiled them. Only after he tested it himself did he give it to patients with the epidemic.

The effect at that time was immediate.

Even he himself couldn't explain why, and could only attribute it to "qi". Perhaps some of the plants growing in the area had their own "qi" field, which made it easier to restrain the invading evil "qi".

Although this conclusion has no theoretical support, the efficacy is there, just like the acupuncture points and meridians in traditional Chinese medicine, which cannot be confirmed by Western medicine.

You can't say something doesn't exist just because you don't understand it. Some things really can't be explained.

Tian Cai was originally drowsy in bed. Now that she had woken up, she thought, should she go to the place where the camel was found to take a look? Maybe there were some plants nearby that had their own "aura" and could be used as medicine?

But she still needs to find out where that place is exactly.

The next day, the sky was gloomy and the wind was much stronger than the previous few days. Tian Cai looked at the sky and decided to go out and look for it. She said something to Zhang Wenshan and went to ask the investigation team about the location.

"You want to go now?"

Mansheng asked in surprise.

He is the one from Urumqi who is part of the investigation team.

Tian Cai nodded and said, "Go earlier, or I'll always be worried about you."

Mansheng looked at the sky outside and said, "Looking at the weather, it's probably going to snow. It's too dangerous for you to go now. Once it snows, you won't be able to find the way in the desert."

Tian Cai hesitated for a moment, but decided to go. If it really snowed, the place would be covered, making it even more difficult to find anything.

"It's okay, I'll remember to come back soon."

She had to go and check it out before the snow fell. She didn't want to give up even if there was any possibility. If she missed it, she would definitely regret it later.

Seeing that Tian Cai insisted on going, Mansheng had no choice but to agree, "I'll find two people to go with you. They have always lived nearby and are familiar with the area."

Tian Cai wanted to agree, but when he thought about the unknown epidemics, he refused.

"never mind."

She has dew protection, so she is almost immune to most poisons. Therefore, no one is more suitable than her to go to that place. If she really brings two guides, what will happen if something unexpected happens -

However, before leaving, Tian Cai still asked the two of them in detail about the specific location of the place, as well as some methods on how to determine directions in the desert.

This place is not particularly far from where the crowd gathers, but it is not close either, about ten kilometers away.

Tian Cai traveled light, carrying only a few things, and trotted into the desert.

She headed west and finally saw the place around noon.

At this time, the sky was dark and the wind was getting stronger. The blown sand covered Tian Cai's head and face. Fortunately, she had foresight and had prepared a linen scarf to wrap her head completely.

But this will inevitably obstruct the view.

If the wind hadn't blown up the sand and exposed the camel's bones, Tian Cai might have missed it.

She adjusted the mask and scarf on her face, put on the latex gloves she got from the health center, and made sure she was fully armed before slowly walking over.

The rotten meat that had originally exploded had been exposed to the wind and sun for these days and was no longer recognizable. Even the smell had become so faint that it was almost inaudible. It was only after Tian Cai walked around it that he could smell a slight stench near the camel skeleton.

Now that she had determined the exact location, she began to walk around the area.

Finally, Tian Cai found some dried plants behind a small sand dune about a hundred meters away from the camel. She dug up a few of each plant. Some of them had leaves that had completely lost all their moisture and broke when she touched them lightly.

Tian Cai wrapped up the leaves with the handkerchief he carried with him, and looked around again. Only after making sure that nothing was left behind did he decide to go back quickly.

At this time, the wind was a little weaker than before, at least the surrounding environment could be seen clearly. Tian Cai returned along the original route and ran all the way.

According to her experience, when the wind dies down, snow is about to come.

The fact turned out to be just as Tian Cai had expected. Within an hour, it started snowing. Fortunately, she could still tell the direction, and there were people sent by Mansheng waiting outside. Finally, she returned safely in the snow.

After Tian Cai returned to the health center, he immediately took the several types of hay he had collected to Mansheng and asked him to help identify them.

He pointed to a clump of half-dried plants and said, "This should be the cow grass, but it's already dried up a lot. This thing can be considered a kind of forage grass!"

"But I heard from my grandma before that humans can eat this thing too."

Then he pointed to another plant with a long, thin rhizome. "This is Carex serrata. Yeah, it's also a kind of forage grass."

Next, Tian Cai listened to him introduce the remaining species one by one, most of which were forage grasses.

Anyway, the meaning of forage grass is that it can be eaten by animals and it is non-toxic. As for its specific functions, most of them themselves don’t know.

Still need to try one by one.

Tian Cai brought all the hay she brought back to Tan Wei, and the two of them buried themselves in their research as before. Except for occasionally going out to check on the middle-aged woman, she basically never went out again.

In the intensive care unit, as long as there is a space, someone will be able to carry the patients there quickly. And those empty spaces are filled with people who have left one by one and have been taken away for collective cremation.

After working day and night, the critical care team finally developed a drug that can reduce the frequency of bloody stools in patients after being injected into the patient's body.

The main function of this drug is to inhibit bacterial growth. It cannot completely eliminate the bacteria, but can only slow down its reproduction rate to a certain extent so that the patient's condition will not deteriorate too quickly.

After the new drug was tested on five patients, it was planned to be used for all serious illnesses.

As for follow-up treatment, they will continue to find a solution. They can't just watch one body after another being carried out.

But soon they no longer needed to find a solution, because Tian Cai found a way to control the epidemic.

Inspired by the ancestors of the Cai family, Tian Cai decided to go to the vicinity of the camel explosion to look for herbs that could cure the epidemic. There was indeed a kind of herb among the pile he brought back. After repeated tests, he determined that it had the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying.

Moreover, this medicinal herb was the first one that Tian Cai took from the pile for experiment!

What incredible luck this is.
