Chapter 110 The Great Plague 2
After Uncle Li finished speaking for a long time, he took a long breath and finally recovered. The two villagers who brought him here added: "Uncle Li's family is gone except for himself, his weaker son and wife.
Many people in the village have developed rashes. The village doctor only told us not to scratch them... But once the rashes develop, it becomes extremely uncomfortable, especially for children. Their bodies are all festering and rotting, which is very scary to look at. ”
"Doctor Shen," they looked eagerly, "Can you help me take a look at what this strange disease is and whether there is any treatment?"
Judging from their description, this plague is a bit like a combination of chickenpox and some kind of pneumonia. However, the specific situation needs further analysis. If it is really a combination of the two, it is not untreatable.
Shen Wangshu gave each of the two villagers a mask and affirmed their approach: "It is right to isolate the sick people in the village first, and you yourselves cannot have direct contact with the patients."
She asked Uncle Li to stretch out his hand to feel his pulse, and then carefully looked at his tongue and eyes, and had a rough treatment plan in mind.
"I will give you an injection today, and I will go to the village with you tomorrow morning."
According to what these two villagers said, more than Tongji Village has been infected on a large scale. The source of the virus may be Xinhua Village or other places.
If the plague is transmitted from person to person, it will spread very quickly. The situation would be best if it could be contained in a few villages and not spread to the city.
"You're going to the village?" Uncle Li said in disbelief. "Now our village chief has blocked all the roads in and out of the village. No one is allowed to go out except the three of us, and no one outside is allowed to come in."
"Many doctors are afraid to come when they hear about this." He smiled bitterly and said, "This disease sounds very scary and terrible. You are so young, aren't you worried that you will be infected before you find a cure?"
As Shen Wangshu gave him acupuncture, he said, “A little, but I think I can give it a try.”
Besides, there are hundreds of lives in several villages. We can’t just watch them all die.
After all, she is someone who has experienced modern major plagues. She also went to the hospital to help out during the most critical times. She has many processes and experiences, so she should be able to play a role.
"Husband..." Wutong behind him was a little anxious: "Master, do you really want to go to Tongji Village and take this risk? If their illness cannot be cured, why would you risk yourself?"
Madam, wasn't it just a spur of the moment decision for you to come out for the free medical consultation? Who is she? How could she make the slightest mistake for a group of villagers?
Lvliu, who was always quiet, disagreed and said hesitantly, "Master, don't go. If something happens to you, how can we explain to the general and the old lady?"
But they didn't know that Shen Wangshu was waiting for this day.
If the epidemic is not eradicated and is allowed to spread to the entire Moyun City, when the foreign enemy is at the gates, how can the sick people in the entire city resist at all?
So she had to go.
At this time in the original novel, the original owner was already bedridden and would pass away soon after, so she had no idea how she survived these two disasters.
But you have to give it a try.
"You don't need to persuade me, I will definitely go." Shen Wangshu said: "Don't worry, I will protect myself first, and then try my best to find a cure."
Although it seems a bit fantasy, she has always believed in one iron rule - for any poison, there must be an antidote within ten steps.
If we can find out the source of this plague, there might be a breakthrough.
Uncle Li was placed alone in a ward of Renhetang, and no one was allowed to approach him. The other two villagers took back a large bag of homemade masks.
With this ready-made case, Shen Wangshu began looking for a treatment that day.
She wrapped herself tightly, went in and gave Uncle Li several injections, and then mixed the first version of the recipe for a medicinal bath to treat his rash that was already festering.
All the right medicines seemed to work. When she went to Renhetang early the next day, Uncle Li's rash looked much better, his high fever that had lasted for days also subsided, and he looked much more energetic.
Shen Wangshu then followed another set of combined procedures, and when his condition temporarily stabilized, he hired a carriage and went to Tongji Village.
Neither Wutong nor Luliu could persuade her, and seeing that the lady looked energetic and full of spirit, they had no choice but to follow her.
Tongji Village relies on the mountain for its livelihood, and so do its neighboring Xinhua Village and Yangliu Village. The roads at the village entrances, which are usually crowded with people, are all blocked by large rocks. After the busy farming season, there are not many farmers working in the fields.
It seems that the village heads of several villages have reached a consensus and taken preliminary isolation measures.
Perhaps because they had been unable to seek medical treatment in the city many times, these initially honest and simple villagers lost their composure and desperately ran out of their homes to seek help, causing the plague to rage.
As long as the disease can be controlled, everything can be prevented.
Therefore, Shen Wangshu would go no matter what, and he had to go.
＊
On the day she went to Tongji Village, several men dressed in rough clothes came into the city. After finding a tavern and having a big meal, they began to inquire about the general's recent situation.
"General, your wedding a few months ago was such a grand occasion. Gold and silver leaves were scattered like money. I couldn't even pick them all up!"
"The general's wife is a beauty... What? Although I have never seen her, I heard that the general and his wife are deeply in love. They go out together every day and have a very good relationship."
"Even heroes can't resist the temptation of beauty. I have seen the general's wife. That day, she came to our restaurant to have dinner with Miss Chen Zhi from the Duke's Mansion. She was so beautiful that she was stunningly beautiful."
“Is this true or false?”
After some inquiries in the mixed tavern, those burly men found out that General Chen Ting, the guardian of the country, rarely went out. Apart from his heroic deeds in battle, the only thing people talked about was his newlywed wife.
A few of them looked at each other, then separated to inquire from different sources, and finally put aside their laziness and prepared to bring the news back to the village.
Impeccable...How can a person be impeccable? As long as he lives in this world, he will have something to worry about.
Even the invincible general is no exception!
