"What are you doing?" Upon hearing this, Lord Shen hurried forward a few steps and asked.
"Sir, many of the people in the mountains are suffering from vomiting and diarrhea. The doctors can't do anything because they have no medicine. Many of them also have high fevers and are trembling all over." The runner reported hurriedly.
And Yu Yuanzheng also heard it.
"Come on, lead the way, I'll go take a look."
This obviously means that an epidemic broke out after the disaster.
When a disaster strikes, people's lives cannot go on as usual.
If you eat unclean food and drink dirty water, it would be strange if you don't get an intestinal infectious disease.
Yu Yuanzheng took a few disciples and followed the yamen runner up the mountain.
I saw many simple tents or straw huts set up on the mountain.
It's obvious at first glance that it can't withstand wind and rain, but given the limited conditions, it's a blessing to have such a place to shelter from the rain.
Yu Yuanzheng saw a little woman holding a six or seven-year-old child who was crying non-stop.
"My dear, you can't die. If you die, how can I live? God, please let us go. I finally gave birth to such a son. If you take him away, I will not live either. Father, please think of a solution."
A man in his twenties squatted next to the young woman, sighing miserably.
"The doctor has no medicine. What do you want me to do? The county magistrate said that the court has sent people to rescue the disaster. As long as the child can hold on for another two days, he can be saved." The man said comfortingly.
"But Baoer can't wait any longer. Feel it and see how hot Baoer's body feels. Woo woo..." The little woman took the man's hand and placed it on the child's forehead.
As soon as the man placed his hand on the child's forehead, the child suddenly started twitching.
Both the couple were shocked.
"Baoer, Baoer, my Baoer." the little woman screamed.
When Yu Yuanzheng saw this, he knew that the child had a high fever and convulsions, so he rushed forward.
"Hurry, give me the child. I'm a doctor."
She didn't even wait for the adults to react, and snatched the child from the young woman's arms.
After that, no matter whether the ground is dirty or not, just lay the child on his side on the ground.
The couple was stunned.
Yu Yuanzheng put her hand on the child's belly.
The tentacles were burning hot, his face was blue, his teeth were clenched, and his limbs were twitching violently.
She quickly unbuttoned the child's clothes and found that his chest was already bruised.
Typical febrile convulsion.
"Doctor, save my son. I kowtow to you." When the young woman heard the man in front of her claim to be a doctor, she kowtowed as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw. She also pulled the man next to her to kneel down with her.
Yu Yuanzheng had no time to pay attention to them.
"Chaxiang, hold down the child's legs. Mujin, quickly find a small branch and press down the child's tongue to prevent him from hurting himself." Yu Yuanzheng immediately ordered the two female disciples who were following him.
The two girls did so immediately.
"How long has the child been suffering from the cold?" Yu Yuanzheng asked the woman.
"Ten, ten days..." The woman cried silently.
"When the flood came, we hid under a tree and our whole family was drenched by the rain all night. We adults were fine and could handle it.
In the first two days, the child was fine, but as it rained every day, the child could not bear it any longer and fell ill.
There was no medical treatment, and the condition just kept getting worse. "
Yu Yuanzheng took out a silver needle from the needle bag she carried with her.
The mountain was foggy and humid. She warmed the needle on a fire stick, located the Ren Zhong acupoint on the child, and inserted the needle steadily.
"Go find some cool mountain spring water." She instructed without even looking up.
When the woman heard this, she stumbled away.
Yu Yuanzheng took out a few more silver needles and pricked the child's Hegu, Taichong and other acupuncture points.
The child's convulsions gradually subsided, but his body temperature was still frighteningly high.
She looked around and her eyes fell on a clump of wild mint not far away. This herb has the effect of clearing away heat and relieving exterior symptoms, which is just right for her condition.
She walked over quickly, picked a few fresh leaves, rubbed them in her hands to get the juice, and gently applied it to the child's temples and chest.
The woman held a broken bowl and filled it with mountain spring water.
Yu Yuanzheng soaked the handkerchief and wiped the child's forehead and armpits over and over again.
The cool mountain spring water took away some of the heat, and the child's breathing gradually stabilized.
"Doctor, my son..." the woman asked cautiously.
"It's fine for now." Yu Yuanzheng put away the silver needle, "But he still needs to take medicine. The imperial rescue team has arrived. I'll write you a prescription. Go to the foot of the mountain to get the medicine and boil it for the child to drink."
"Thank you, doctor. Thank you, doctor." The young woman and her husband thanked them profusely.
I took the prescription and went down the mountain.
Yu Yuanzheng looked at the village destroyed by the flood at the foot of the mountain, feeling heavy in her heart. After this disaster, she wondered how many more patients like this were waiting for treatment.
While she was treating the child, several guards went to different places to spread the word among the people on the mountain, and the court sent rescue teams so that all the sick children could be gathered in one place.
When the people knew that a doctor had arrived, they all actively cooperated.
I saw there was a female doctor.
Some people did not trust him and went to the male doctors.
Chunlei frowned when he saw this situation.
He jumped, stood on a big rock, and shouted loudly.
"Fellow villagers, this is the Princess of Wei. I think you all know that she is the most famous doctor in Wei, and these doctors are all her disciples. No matter whether they are men or women, they all have good medical skills. Don't be picky."
When the common people heard that the person who had just treated the child was actually the Princess Zhenguo, they saw that Yu Yuanzheng was dressed in men's clothes and thought it was a male doctor, but they didn't expect it to be the god in their hearts.
"We humble commoners greet the Princess Zhenguo!" The common people knelt on the ground unconsciously.
"Okay, everyone get up. Line up consciously so that everyone can get treated. We have brought the medicine. It is at the foot of the mountain. Take the prescription and go get the medicine." Yu Yuanzheng raised his hand.
When the people knew that it was the Princess who came to save them, their spirits changed immediately.
It was like the light of hope suddenly shone into their hearts.
Then the rescue was carried out in an orderly manner.
There was a long line in front of each disciple.
It was not until it was almost dark that Shangguan Ziqi arrived and finally treated all the patients.
After a whole afternoon of diagnosis and treatment, Yu Yuanzheng also knew what diseases most of the people suffered from.
After a great disaster there will be a great epidemic.
After a flood, dead livestock, rotten food, and contaminated water sources may become breeding grounds for plague.
"Everyone listen to me!" She stood up and spoke in a clear voice, "From now on, don't drink hot water, all water must be boiled. Don't eat rotten food, and bury dead livestock deeply. People with fever and cough symptoms must live separately from others."
When the people heard this, they looked at each other in bewilderment. They thought it would be a shame not to eat the dead livestock.
Yu Yuan saw their puzzled looks and knew that they did not realize the importance of her words.
I had to patiently explain it again before everyone understood.
"Thank you, Princess Zhenguo, for telling us. We will keep it in mind." A young man who looked like a scholar answered loudly.
Shangguan Ziqi saw that his wife's lips were dry, and he knew that she was so busy that afternoon that she didn't even have a sip of water.
He immediately took off his water bag and handed it to her.
"Madam, are you tired? Drink some water to moisten your throat first." Shangguan Ziqi looked distressed.
"No. That's nothing. I've been involved in earthquake relief before, and it was a hundred times more serious than this.
At that time, I was so busy that I only rested for three hours in three days.
The scene at that time was truly a living hell. In the end, more than 80,000 people died, and this was despite the fact that the equipment was so advanced and countless rescuers were involved.”
Yu Yuanzheng thought of the great disaster she had experienced in her previous life. After that, she didn't have a good night's sleep for a month.
Although doctors are used to seeing people die, it is also human nature. When seeing such a hell on earth, no one can remain indifferent.
Shangguan Ziqi knew that the person she was talking about was someone she had met in the past.
When they arrived at the temporary residence at the foot of the mountain, Yu Yunzhi and Yu Qingye were still busy.
County Magistrate Shen found two hundred young and strong men and asked them to carry large stones from the mountain to block the gap, but as soon as a stone was thrown in, the gap disappeared without even a wave of water.
