Chapter 112 Workaholic Senior Brother
It seemed that Doctor Zhang knew the lady, and the two of them addressed each other as senior and junior brothers and sisters. Everyone looked at each other, but seeing that they were already chatting in a familiar manner, they did not say anything to disturb them.
"I visited villages within a few miles. The first person who got sick was a hunter who came back from the mountains. He killed a wild boar and brought it back. Only after he brought it back did he realize that it was a sick pig."
But it is so difficult to hunt such a big fish. Even if it is sick and cannot be sold, we can just kill it at home, boil it in water and cook it over a fire, and eat it so it won’t go to waste.
"I don't know if it was not cooked thoroughly or something, or if the hygiene was not done properly, but the next day the whole family started to have rashes all over their bodies." Zhang Dai said: "I initially determined that the transmission route was through respiratory droplets. It was a combination of Chinese medicine and chickenpox. In the early stage of the disease, there will be coughing, and when the rash is scratched, the clothes and utensils are also contagious to a certain extent."
So he asked everyone in every household to wear masks, not to go out casually, and healthy people and patients should not live in the same room.
Shen Wangshu nodded: “Brother, the external compress you used is Senecio, mugwort, and honeysuckle?”
"Yes." The conditions were really limited, and Zhang Dai could only prescribe the right medicine for the disease. Fortunately, the current treatment method was effective. Although the condition was suppressed, he could not find a cure for the time being - he was alone, and had to research the antidote and take care of all the patients in the village every day. He really couldn't do it all. If he had more helpers, it would be easier, but there weren't any.
"I've been here for less than half a year, but I feel like I've aged five years." Zhang Dai wiped his face tiredly.
At the beginning, there was nothing much to do in the village. He was both a doctor and a teacher. He had some free time and could support himself. His life was quite fulfilling.
After the epidemic broke out, we were unable to move all day and didn’t even have time to drink a sip of water.
Today's medicine has been distributed. Zhang Dai invited Shen Wangshu to his home to sit and have lunch together, and to show her his handwritten research materials. With the addition of this junior sister, he believed that there would be results soon.
Shen Wangshu nodded and said yes, but Wutong said, “Madam, how can you stay in the same room with a man from outside? I’m afraid it’s a bit inappropriate.”
"Are you married?" Zhang Dai raised his eyebrows.
Shen Wangshu waved his hand and said, "It's a long story. I'll explain it to you later when I have time."
"We are not alone in the same room. Aren't you guys here with us?" Zhang Dai said directly, "Come to my house for dinner. After dinner, we will start working. I don't want any inexplicable things to affect the progress."
Before transmigrating into the book, it was common for the brother and sister to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner together. Sometimes they would work on experiments all night and take turns sleeping on the benches outside the laboratory. But now that they are here, they have to abide by these strange rules.
Although Doctor Zhang's tone was not harsh when he spoke, Wutong and Lvliu actually felt a sense of oppression from him, and they couldn't help but nodded when they met his gaze.
So half an hour later, everyone sat together in a simple but exceptionally clean hut at the entrance of the village.
Zhang Dai used to be the person who paid the most attention to quality of life and personal image among all the opposite sex that Shen Wangshu had met. He cleaned his bachelor's room meticulously, even the buttons of his white coat were always buttoned up straight, he carried disinfectant alcohol with him, and he could cook for himself. As expected, he lived a good life after wearing the book. He quickly made three simple vegetarian dishes to entertain them.
Wutong and Lvliu had never seen a man cook in the kitchen before, so they were a little stunned.
"I haven't been out of the village for a long time. There's nothing good left at home. Let's make do with what we have and work hard." Zhang Dai said coldly, "More than 20 people have died in Tongji Village, all of them are weak children and the elderly. The situation in Xinhua Village and other villages next door may be even worse. We have to find an antidote quickly."
The senior brother was still the workaholic senior brother, so Shen Wangshu didn't waste any words. After finishing his meal quickly, he found a pen and paper and wrote down his treatment method for Uncle Li yesterday. The two of them rolled up their sleeves and compared the data.
Zhang Dai's knowledge of pharmacology was much deeper and more solid, while Shen Wangshu had a set of acupuncture techniques that he had learned and practiced since childhood. When the two proud disciples of the traditional Chinese medical master came together, their work efficiency increased many times. By nightfall on the first day, they had come up with the first version of a comprehensive treatment plan.
"There is a medicine I have seen in the back mountain. It is too late today. You go back first and we will see the effect tomorrow." Zhang Dai said, "Your set of needles is good. Can you get me one set later?"
Senior brother used to take good care of her. Now that conditions are better, Shen Wangshu can't forget his senior brother in the mountain valley. He agreed immediately: "No problem, I will ask someone to beat another set after I go back. There are also some books that I don't understand. I will bring them over tomorrow for you to take a look... A lot of knowledge here is still very mysterious."
Zhang Dai made an OK gesture to her and then left.
Wutong and Lvliu followed the two men for a whole day, and were dizzy from being ordered around by Doctor Zhang. Their wives never even raised their heads from the desk, let alone any ambiguous interactions... Now they just wanted to go back and fall asleep.
Shen Wangshu looked at them and couldn't help but laugh secretly - when she was in the laboratory before, her senior tortured the new graduate students in this way. This intensity of work was unbearable for most people, and she herself was exhausted.
But the efficiency is quite satisfactory.
Arriving at the Duke's Mansion, Shen Wangshu ran into a beautiful middle-aged woman in aqua-green brocade clothes as soon as she entered the door. She should be one of the concubines of Chen's uncle. She didn't remember it very well. However, when this woman saw her, she was very angry and said, "The general has been out for a short time, and he can't stand the loneliness in the room and can't wait to run out every day... If I were the mistress of the second house, I would be so angry that I would be alive."
Shen Wangshu stopped: “?”
Wutong and Lvliu also stopped. The three extremely tired people stared over together, their resentment so great that it could scare a ghost to death.
"Why, am I wrong? You are dressed in a weird way. Everyone knows that you have been out of the house every day these days. I don't know who you are meeting. The eldest lady can't do anything about you because of the old lady's face. Don't you mind bringing shame to the Duke's Mansion?"
Shen Wangshu took a deep breath and reached back.
Wutong subconsciously took out the alcohol and poured some on her hand.
Shen Wangshu rolled up his sleeves slowly to disinfect his slap, then swung his palm in a circle and slapped him: "Shut up! Stop slandering me!"
She couldn't stand being insulted like this after doing good things, so she slapped the concubine's face twice, warning her: "I'm very busy recently and don't have time to fight. I advise you not to mess with me casually."
