Is there any blood in the stool?
"No."
"I went to the outhouse a few times."
“I went there the day before yesterday, and I went several times last night. I couldn’t go out of the outhouse, so I had to go back in.”
"Oh dear, physician, I need to go to the outhouse again!" With that, the old man hurriedly walked towards the outhouse.
Yun Duoduo pondered. This recurring diarrhea was most likely caused by chronic enteritis. Antibiotics should be used first, and digestive enzymes should be used to regulate intestinal function after the symptoms are relieved.
Western medicine needs to be used quickly; we still need to use Western medicine first.
Looking at the room full of people, Yun Duoduo was puzzled. Diarrhea was not unusual, but why did they all start having diarrhea at the same time?
That would be somewhat unusual.
Yi Qingchen and Yun Duoduo exchanged a glance, and it was clear from their eyes that Yi Qingchen also found the matter strange.
Yi Qingchen took out some Mengshi powder from the medicine box and handed the powder to a soldier next to him.
"Go and distribute this powder to everyone. Adults should take it three times a day, and children once a day, dissolved in warm water."
At present, it seems most important to stabilize the patients' condition and alleviate their pain.
"Yes, Chief Physician."
Sun Huohuo's subordinates took the medicine powder and distributed it to everyone.
Montmorillonite powder has an immediate effect in stopping diarrhea, but it cannot be used for a long time.
With so many villagers suffering from diarrhea on the same day, the key is to find the source.
After the villagers saw the doctor and received their medicine, Yi Qingchen and Ye Mingzhu, along with a few others, began visiting each household, examining and treating patients while carefully observing them to find the cause of their illnesses.
...
In a mountain village on Siming Mountain in Jiangning, the front hall was brightly lit, with music playing and people dancing.
Dressed in a dark green brocade robe, with small eyes and a hooked nose, the Right Wise King sat on a soft cushion made of bear fur, listening to the musicians playing music, watching the dancers sway their hips, and eating grapes peeled by his concubines.
It was very relaxing and pleasant.
A junior leader walked over and whispered a few words in his ear.
"The Right Wise King..."
"Everything's taken care of, right?"
The leader nodded. "The medicine is already taking effect."
"Moreover, the Nanyang court has already dispatched two military generals, Sun Ren and Sun Huohuo."
The Right Wise King clapped his hands happily, picked up the jade cup, and drank the wine in one gulp.
"Well done!"
"The disaster in the southwest has already caused an uprising. Minister of War Sun Ren is experienced, and Yun Beiye will naturally send him to provide disaster relief and suppress the uprising."
"The people of Yuze are suffering from diarrhea. Princess Nanyang will definitely take the people from the Imperial Pharmacy to check on them. Once Princess Nanyang goes, her sycophant Sun Huohuo will definitely follow."
"The Right Wise King is wise!" The junior leader bowed respectfully.
The junior leader didn't quite understand the affairs of Nanyang, nor did he know who the officials in Nanyang were, but he could tell that the Right Wise King was very knowledgeable about Nanyang and knew the officials in Nanyang like the back of his hand.
"Yes, continue according to plan."
"Later, send out the commander of the Imperial Guards and those old bastards like Xue Guangjin as well."
The Right Wise King touched the beautiful concubine's soft hands.
"When all the military generals in the capital have been sent out, leaving only Jin Jinzhi, then the only one who can come to Jiangning to suppress the rebellion is Jin Jinzhi."
"When the time comes, with the Poison Sect around, we will make sure that Jin Jin never returns, and avenge my dead brothers!"
The Right Wise King clenched his fist. Back then, when Jin Jinzhi raised an army to attack the city, many of his brothers died at the hands of the Zhenbei Army.
Now, he finally has the opportunity to avenge his dead brothers and the soldiers of the right wing of Northern Liang.
Lu Ba filled the Right Wise King's wine cup to the brim, saying, "Right Wise King is wise; I admire you!"
"All of this is thanks to the Poison Sect's medicine."
The masked man in black standing behind the Right Wise King bowed his head respectfully when he heard the Right Wise King speaking of him.
Lu Ba, a man who lives a life of constant danger, couldn't help but tremble with fear every time he saw the Poison Sect.
Although the Poison Master covered his face with a hat and a black cloth, it was still possible to vaguely see that he was unrecognizable. His skin was wrinkled, his features were twisted and squeezed together, and he only had one eye left. The eyeball was dark green, and his eyelid was red, as if it would bleed at any moment. He looked very creepy.
...
Nanyang, Yuze.
After taking montmorillonite powder, the patients in Yuze experienced a significant reduction in their diarrhea symptoms. However, once the medication was discontinued, the outhouses were once again crowded with people suffering from diarrhea.
"Dianyu, what should we do?"
Yu Ze's chief pharmacist looked worried; his already wrinkled face was now even more contorted.
"Chief Pharmacist, please don't worry, we are trying to find a solution."
"Such a widespread outbreak is very likely due to a problem with the water source."
After analyzing the patients' symptoms, Yun Duoduo and Yi Qingchen suspected that someone had poisoned the water source, so that the people of Yuze would be poisoned again if they drank water or used it for cooking.
This explains why the diarrhea persists and recurs.
"Take us to see the well in Yuze."
"good."
Led by the chief pharmacist, Yun Duoduo and the others from the monk's pharmacy quickly walked to the well.
The soldier scooped up some water with a bucket and placed it on the ground.
Yun Duoduo squatted down, smelled it, and was about to lick it with her wet fingers when Ye Mingzhu stopped her.
"Dian Yu, wait a moment."
Ye Mingzhu took out a small medicine bottle from her bosom, poured the powder inside into the bucket, stirred it, and said, "Dianyu, Yaocheng, the powder I brought can be used to test for poison. The water hasn't changed color, which means there's nothing wrong with it."
Yi Qingchen also tested the water with a silver needle, and it was indeed fine.
So where did the problem lie?
"The water looks fine."
The chief pharmacist was also at a loss. "We've examined this water before and even suspected that someone might have added some kind of poison like poisonous herbs, but we haven't found anything."
The chief pharmacist looked at the sky and said, "It's already dark. Imperial Physician and Pharmacist, why don't we have dinner first?"
"Let's think of another way together."
Yun Duoduo nodded, and the group returned to their lodgings. They sat around the table and discussed how to treat the patient's illness.
"Pharmacist, the food is here."
One after another, the maids in the mansion brought out several plates of hot dishes and wine.
Looking at the plate of round, curled meat on the table, Yun Duoduo pointed at it in surprise and asked, "Is this snail meat?"
The chief pharmacist nodded. "It's snail meat."
Yuze is surrounded by water to the south, so the people of Yuze have a habit of eating seafood.
Some of the seafood in the capital was transported from Yuze, but much of it died en route, making it extremely expensive.
