Chapter 120 Is This Your Husband?
Qi Muchao's eyes choked back the words she hadn't said yet.
Hu Yan and others were left outside and were obviously unhappy. She even wanted to disobey orders and follow Lu Wanning in.
Even Changqing Changkong, who was used to hearing Qi Muchao's orders, disagreed.
They are not afraid of death and are people who live on the edge of a knife. Not allowing them to stay with the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess is an unsettling torture for them.
Seeing Qi Muchao and Lu Wanning entering the city gate, Changqing and Changkong looked at each other and followed them in two steps.
Hu Yan was not willing to be outdone and quickly ran to Lu Wanning.
By the way, he also covered his mouth and nose. Seeing Lu Wanning looking at him, he looked up and down, but didn't look at her.
Since they had already caught up, Lu Wanning didn't say anything else.
Ainasha brought several people directly to her brother. After such a long time, Lu Wanning finally met her master.
The meeting between master and disciple should have been a very touching scene, but Doctor Luo had been so overworked that he looked haggard. Only his eyes were bright and lively. He looked at her, then at Qi Muchao, and nodded at her, "Is this your husband?"
Qi Muchao nodded immediately after hearing this. Lu Wanning looked Doctor Luo up and down, and was about to speak when Doctor Luo interrupted her, "Okay, now that you're here, come and study Turan's epidemic with me."
Lu Wanning rolled her eyes at him, but still spoke out, "Master, judging by the way you've gone mad and possessed by a difficult-to-treat illness, if I hadn't come, you'd probably starve to death here."
"Nonsense," Doctor Luo glared at her. "I'm trying to cure illnesses and save lives. I don't have the energy to do anything else until I've figured out this recipe."
Lu Wanning did not argue with him. Ainasha and her brother had almost finished talking, and not much of their chatter could be heard. However, judging from his expression, Afuchik was probably blaming his sister for coming back after leaving so hard.
Even though Turan now has Dr. Luo Shen, it is still unknown whether the epidemic can be cured.
Lu Wanning thought carefully for a moment. She didn't have a deep impression of the Turan tribe in her previous life. She had never even heard of this epidemic.
Afuchik was the good friend that Qi Muchao had known before. After a few pleasantries, he told Qi Muchao about his experiences over the years.
While the two were talking here, Lu Wanning and Doctor Luo had already started studying the epidemic.
Doctor Luo Shen usually looks like an unreliable old man, but once it comes to serious matters, he will become serious.
Now he described the Turan epidemic to Lu Wanning in detail, from the discovery of the first case to its gradual spread. After he arrived in Turan, he used several epidemic symptoms recorded in medical books to treat the disease.
But the effect was not significant. The medicine he prescribed might only cure one out of ten people after drinking it.
Those people thought it was the effect of the medicine, but in Doctor Luo's opinion, his medicine should not have much effect. What really worked was probably the patient's body fighting against the epidemic.
If you can get through it, you will be safe and sound. If you can't, you will be one of the millions of corpses.
He took out the recipe and showed it to Lu Wanning, and the master and disciple studied it together.
There had been many outbreaks of epidemics in the Ming Dynasty in the past. Doctor Luo Shen had compiled a list of all those epidemics and copied them into a book for Lu Wanning to read.
The closest incident was a plague in Ruicheng two years ago, when Doctor Luo Shen was also there.
Lu Wanning originally wanted to go with him, but her aunt refused to agree no matter what. She had just arrived at the Chen Mansion, and her master also thought it would be better for her not to go. In the end, Lu Wanning was unable to go.
Fortunately, the plague was quickly brought under control.
Doctor Luo Shen had a headache. "The epidemic in Ruicheng is very different from the current epidemic in Turan. Aside from the fever symptom, everything else is completely different."
"The one in Ruicheng is a red rash that then ulcerates and has a persistent fever that won't go away."
"Turan," Doctor Luo's expression became more serious. "These people initially had fever and were able to move freely. They were not seriously ill. But after a few days, they began to become drowsy and vomit blood."
Once the patient starts vomiting blood, it means that he will not come back.
Doctor Luo Shen said, "It's good that you're here. I've prepared several prescriptions, but no one knows which one will actually work. For now, I can only try them one by one."
Lu Wanning reached out and took the prescriptions, her expression equally solemn. "If that's the case, let's get started today."
After the two men finished their discussion, Afuchik expressed his gratitude to them and sent a team of healthy and strong people in the tribe to follow their arrangements.
Lu Wanning glanced at Qi Muchao. Her master had said that this disease was tricky, so it was hard for her not to worry about Qi Muchao's physical condition. Right now, the original poison in his body had not been cured yet. If he was infected with the epidemic, others could survive for five or six days, but she suspected that Qi Muchao could only survive for three days.
One day he had a fever, one day he vomited blood, and one day he kicked his legs.
Thinking this way, Lu Wanning naturally didn't let him follow her.
Qi Muchao, on the other hand, was very confident. "It's precisely because I have accumulated so many toxins in my body that I'm used to fighting them. Maybe even if I really get infected, I'll be the only one out of ten who can recover."
Lu Wanning wanted to say something more, but Qi Muchao shook his head.
She glanced at Hu Yan and Chang Qing Chang Kong, and finally chose to compromise.
If she were Qi Muchao, and he let his lover and subordinates take risks while she hid for fear of encountering any danger, she would probably not agree.
It was already very late, and Afuchik meant that they should go and rest first and deal with everything after dawn tomorrow.
But right now, every minute and every second means lost life for those who are sick.
After this night, perhaps many more people died.
Doctor Luo hadn't slept for two days. Lu Wanning asked him to rest. The two of them would take turns. She would first check on the patient, observe his symptoms and condition, and see how effective his new prescription was. She would make changes and then have Doctor Luo come back tomorrow to exchange with her.
After saying this, Doctor Luo Shen finally went back to rest.
Lu Wanning and Qi Muchao followed Afuchik to the place where the plague patients lived.
This place is a large courtyard with four entrances. It was also the idea of Doctor Luo Shen to gather all those who were sick with the plague in one place for the convenience of treatment. If anyone died, the body could be dealt with in time to prevent the plague from spreading more seriously.
There are several people living in each room. This courtyard with four entrances is already full. The other two large courtyards not far away are also full of people.
Severely ill patients live in one room, and mildly ill patients live in another.
