Chapter 408 Midnight Urgent Matter
Compared to the worries of Shen's father and mother, Shen Qingran's car had already driven directly into the important core area along Chang'an Avenue.
Shen Qingran saw two soldiers with guns walking towards them from afar.
"Routine check."
The young soldier in the co-pilot seat took out his ID and related documents.
"This is the doctor the chief has invited. Please let him go."
Soon the vehicles passed the guard post one by one and slowly drove inside.
There was a live ammunition guard every meter on both sides of the road.
Shen Qingran felt a little bit nervous.
I vaguely guessed who it was.
The vehicle was stable, so she didn't get out immediately. Instead, she waited for a while.
After a while, Huo Jianyuan came out.
She walked quickly to the side of the car and said, "Ranran, you must have had a hard time on the journey. The patient is on the second floor."
Shen Qingran replied, "Dad, I believe you."
Huo Jianyuan smiled and said, "Come on, I'll take you in."
The whole house is very quiet, but the decoration style is very classical.
The mahogany furniture, the carved staircases, and the glass cabinets are all books.
Huo Tingxiao led his men inside and arrived at a room that looked like a conference room.
The holster on the guard's waist flashed with a cold metallic light, and the diamond-shaped buckle reflected a familiar pattern under the light.
"Come in."
When Shen Qingran walked in, several people in white coats turned around and looked at her.
"Commander Huo, what is this?"
Huo Jianyuan made way for him and said, "This is Comrade Shen Qingran, who is also a doctor. I want her to take a look at the chief's condition."
Several people looked at each other.
"Commander Huo, we can't make the decision on this matter. What you know about the commander's condition is confidential."
Huo Jianyuan nodded, "I know, I'll go find your Deputy Chief of Staff Wang."
As he was speaking, hurried footsteps were heard in the corridor, the door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man in military uniform walked in with his guards. The gold stars on his epaulettes were particularly dazzling under the ceiling light.
Looking at Shen Qingran beside him, he frowned.
"Huo Jianyuan, why did you bring a young girl in?"
The man's eyes fell on Shen Qingran's bulging belly, and his brows knitted instantly, "Can the chief's condition be seen by outsiders?"
Huo Jianyuan said calmly, "Chief of Staff Wang, this was approved by Chief of Staff Yu."
In fact, he didn't have to go through Wang, but he still had to maintain his face.
Deputy Chief of Staff Wang looked at the handwritten letter in his hand and said, "Chief of Staff Yu agreed today, so let her take a look."
Several doctors looked at each other, muttering in their hearts but not daring to say it out loud.
They are not bragging, they themselves cannot see the disease, but a young girl can.
Shen Qingran stepped forward and asked, "Can I see the medical records?"
"Here, comrade, look."
Shen Qingran looked at the things they handed over. Wow, they looked really official.
Seeing him looking, the medical team nearby also started talking.
"Three days ago, the chief went to the outskirts of the city for an inspection. When he came back, he had a high fever that wouldn't go away. They couldn't find the cause of the illness, and they just said it was an infection from an unknown organism."
"We have already used the best anti-infection drugs, but the effect is still not obvious. We have also consulted a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine."
"But the result is still the same. The commander's condition is getting worse and worse. Today he has entered a semi-comatose state."
Shen Qingran carefully read all the information and then looked at the current information.
He looked up, "Can I see the chief?"
Several people looked at each other, they couldn't decide.
"If I don't see it in person, I think it will be difficult to confirm the diagnosis directly."
Deputy Chief of Staff Wang said with a serious face, “Take Doctor Shen over to have a look.”
After going in to see the leader, Shen Qingran was searched all over again.
Then he was taken to a room.
"The chief is inside."
Pushing the door open, Shen Qingran saw several people studying something in the room.
"Mr. Zhong, this young comrade wants to see the chief's condition."
The old man turned his head and looked at Shen Qingran, making way for him, "Young comrade, come and take a look."
Shen Qingran walked over.
Looking at the old man on the bed, his hair was gray and his face was red, obviously he had a fever, his lips were slightly purple. His right wrist was wrapped in a bloody bandage, and something strange could be vaguely seen under the purple skin.
"Can I take your pulse?"
"Little comrade, you try it."
Shen Qingran took the handkerchief and placed her fingers on the old man's wrist.
As soon as his fingertips touched the old man's pulse, he felt a strange tremor.
The pulse is deep and rough like sand passing through a sieve, sometimes suddenly tense like a rat running through the blood vessels, and sometimes loose like a gossamer thread. A regular "thump thump" pulsation can be clearly felt under the fingers, as if there is a living thing moving in the blood vessels.
Shen Qingran closed his eyes and counted silently. Every time his pulse beat seven times, there would be a slight pause.
"The pulse is deep, stringy and astringent, with occasional knots," Shen Qingran took back his hand, "This is indeed not an ordinary infection. It is some kind of biological toxin causing trouble in the blood."
Mr. Zhong beside him twisted his beard and nodded, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "I also felt that the pulse was strange before, and I guessed it was an unusual virus. Comrade, can you tell what kind of poison it is?"
Shen Qingran suddenly thought of something in his mind.
Some things recorded in my grandfather's notebook.
Someone was once bitten by a rat and developed a high fever that wouldn't go away, and the wound was purple in color.
Afterwards, the pulse showed signs of "rat-like breathing and seven stagnations".
Shen Qingran carefully checked the pulse again and said, "I think the commander may have the plague."
"Plague? Bullshit, when has the old leader ever been bitten by a rat?"
"Don't bring your lies here! Xiao Li, send Miss Shen out."
The two guards stepped forward immediately, but Shen Qingran did not retreat but stepped forward, and touched the pulse of the old man's wrist with his fingertips: "The pulse is heavy and sluggish like a rat running, which is a sign that the poison has invaded the blood vessels. If you don't use the 'Rat King Saliva' to detoxify, within three hours, the poison will attack the heart."
"Bullshit!" The man was furious and opened his holster, pulling out the gun and pointing it at Shen Qingran.
"Huo Jianyuan, I think you are getting more confused as you get older!"
Huo Jianyuan stood in front of Shen Qingran.
"Chief of Staff Wang, we have been watching for so long, and the chief's condition has not improved at all. Shouldn't you listen to her and finish your knife?"
Deputy Chief of Staff Wang pointed at Shen Qingran and said, "She's pregnant! If anything goes wrong, can you afford it?"
When the two were arguing.
The old man on the bed suddenly started coughing violently and coughed up a mouthful of black blood.
With a puff, the bed was covered with blood.
"Chief!"
Everyone rushed forward.
"Adrenaline, come on, my needle."
However, their first aid measures not only had no effect, the person on the bed began to tremble.
All the medical equipment here is very good.
Ventilators were used.
Huo Jianyuan pulled her to the side.
Shen Qingran gritted her teeth.
"Walked over."
"Excuse me, can I try?"
The result was that no one paid any attention to her.
Shen Qingran looked at the old man's increasingly weak breath.
I can't wait any longer.
I can't come here and not accomplish anything.
The key is that this person can be saved!
Shen Qingran violently pushed through the crowd and took out a set of silver acupuncture needles from the cloth bag she carried with her.
Disinfect with alcohol.
At this time, the old man's pulse was so weak that it could not be felt, and his lips gradually turned black.
If this continues, the game will really be over.
Shen Qingran's fingers moved quickly to find the exact acupoint.
Deputy Chief of Staff Wang wanted to stop him, but was held back by Huo Jianyuan.
Shen Qingran turned his wrist, and three silver needles were inserted into the Neiguan, Renzhong and Yongquan acupoints at the same time. He gently twisted the needle handles with his fingertips, and the silver needles vibrated slightly and made a buzzing sound.
"This is..." Elder Zhong's eyes widened, "Using needles to guide the qi?"
Shen Qingran didn't say anything, and took out three silver needles and inserted them into the old man's Baihui, Tanzhong and Qihai points respectively.
Just after she gave the injection, the trembling body of the person on the bed began to slowly calm down.
The originally disordered breathing also stabilized.
Deputy Chief of Staff Wang couldn’t understand her operations, but he could understand the machine!
The beating above has obviously recovered.
"The pulse is back!" the guard shouted in surprise.
Shen Qingran was sweating as he saw that the old leader's condition was temporarily stable.
"Young comrade." Mr. Zhong looked at her excitedly.
"Comrade, this is just a stopgap measure. The old leader's problem still needs to be solved."
At this time, Deputy Chief of Staff Wang no longer had the arrogance he had just had.
There was even an expression of humility.
“Comrade Shen, what is your opinion?”
“It’s not that I don’t want to believe Comrade Shen, but you said that the old leader was infected with the plague, which is impossible.”
Shen Qingran looked at his performance and considered it for a moment.
"I just think it's very similar. If we want to use medication, we still need further confirmation."
"In addition, I think this is not an ordinary plague. This 'rat poison' is not the traditional snake or insect poison, but a mixture of the saliva of a specific rat and a certain fungus. I think..."
Deputy Staff Officer Wang was also born into a rough family. "But how did the commander get this thing? Was he bitten by a rat?"
Shen Qingran pointed at the chief's wrist and said, "Untie it for me to see."
When the bandage was untied, Shen Qingran looked at the wound and it was exactly as he imagined. "There are no typical rodent teeth marks on the edge of the wound. It looks more like it was scratched by something."
At this time, a person who looked like a secretary stood up.
"I remember that I was scratched by a leaf when the chief inspected the area. It was just a little bloody. The chief said it was okay and then simply disinfected it."
Everyone looked at Shen Qingran quietly. They didn't expect that they had been studying for so long and still couldn't figure out 123, but this young comrade came and solved it in no time.
It is true that every generation has talented people.
Don't underestimate it.
"So how do you treat this?"
Deputy Staff Officer Wang looked at Shen Qingran anxiously.
Everyone looked at her expectantly.
Shen Qingran said solemnly, "This toxin is extremely secretive. It is no different from an ordinary infection at first, but it will lurk in the human body for three days. Once the toxin is completely integrated with the blood, it will break out."
"I have about two or three methods in mind that I can try, but I can't guarantee whether they will work."
"Okay, okay, it's better to have a solution than not to have one. Doctor Shen, please tell me how to do it."
Shen Qingran pondered for a moment.
"The first method is to extract the saliva of the Rat King. This method requires the patient's blood to be used as a catalyst and combined with the extracted saliva. This is a method recorded in my family's medical book, but it requires a suitable bronze vessel as a medicine guide."
"The second method is to fight poison with poison. Find someone who has been poisoned by the same rat and has recovered, draw blood from that person, extract antibodies, and then inject them into the patient. This method is relatively risky, and we don't have time to find such a person right now."
The third method is to use acupuncture needles to overcome the difficulties and combine it with a decoction. I just used a temporary method to suppress the toxins, combined with a special decoction, and performed acupuncture three times a day for seven consecutive days. This method takes a long time, and the herbs in the decoction are extremely rare. I cannot guarantee the effect. "
Deputy Chief of Staff Wang frowned upon hearing this and asked anxiously, "Mr. Chen Zhong, which method do you think is the most appropriate?"
Mr. Zhong also frowned, “Comrade Shen, I have never heard of the first method, are you sure about it?”
Shen Qingran shook his head. "But we don't have to test the medicine directly on the leader. We can draw three tubes of blood and then test the medicine. This method will be more appropriate."
"Then do it your way."
The nurse quickly drew three tubes of the leader's blood, and Shen Qingran labeled them as groups A, B, and C respectively.
"Then please send me everything I need as soon as possible."
Soon everyone was in action.
Huo Jianyuan felt sorry for Shen Qingran as she dozed off on a stool after a busy night.
"Ranran, there are still things to be delivered. You can take a rest for a while."
Shen Qingran shook his head. "Dad, I'm fine. My legs are just sore from standing for so long."
What she was actually more worried about was that so many rats had been thrown into the Huo family.
After thinking for a while, she pulled Huo Jianyuan. "Dad, come here."
Huo Jianyuan frowned when he heard what Shen Qingran said.
"Do you suspect that someone wants to frame our Huo family?"
