"How come it doesn't work? It's clearly stated in the medical books. Did I make a mistake somewhere?" Li Shizhen's face was pale, and she slumped down on the medicine box. She covered her little head with both hands, her expression painful and self-blaming.

The two sick villagers who were bloodletted last night died in the same condition as the three pillars, with ulcers all over their bodies and pus and blood flowing out. It was horrible to see.

Although Li Shizhen has a pure heart to treat illnesses and save people, after all, she is still just a young child with limited medical skills and experience. She "treated" three people to death in a row. Naturally, her young heart was greatly affected. It seems that she is on the verge of death.

On the verge of collapse.

Xu Jin couldn't help but his eyelids twitching when he looked at the two corpses in the room that exuded a foul odor and were still bleeding with pus and blood. The few guards guarding him covered their noses and didn't even dare to leave the door.

close.

Sima Yuan swallowed hard and reminded in a low voice: "Sir, we can't delay it any longer."

Xu Jin naturally understood what Sima Yuan meant, but he did not answer. Instead, he knelt down and comforted softly: "Little Lizi, the plague is inherently difficult to cure, so don't blame yourself too much."

At this moment, a guard in golden clothes hurried over and reported with a strange expression: "Master Xu, a doctor named Li has come from outside the village, claiming to know how to treat pimple plague."

Xu Jin stood up in surprise. Others wanted to take a detour when they heard about the plague. This doctor actually came to the door. He was a stranger and said quickly: "Please come quickly!"

Soon, the two of them were led to the courtyard by Jin Yiwei. They were both middle-aged men in their thirties. The first one was carrying a medicine box and had three long beards under his chin. He had a calm and capable demeanor, while the one behind him was

He is a strong man with a cane.

Xu Jinzheng felt that the middle-aged man carrying the medicine box looked familiar, but Li Shizhen jumped up like a spring and shouted happily: "Dad!"

Li Yan was stunned for a moment, then blurted out: "Zhen'er!"

"Dad, the child thought he would never see you again in this life!" Li Shizhen rushed over and threw herself into her father's arms, sobbing loudly.

Li Yanwen was usually a strict father, but when he saw his son who was separated in the flood again after half a month, he could not help but be so excited that his eyes became wet. He squatted down and hugged his son and trembled: "It's okay! It's okay! It's okay!"

Xu Jin did not expect that the doctor who took the initiative to come to his door was Li Yanwen, Li Shizhen's father. He couldn't help but secretly sigh, as expected, like father, like son. Regardless of his medical skills, his medical ethics alone are enough to make people respect him.

"Dad, this is Mr. Xu, the deputy imperial envoy!" Li Shizhen held her father's hand and skipped towards Xu Jin. This boy always acted like a young adult, but it was rare for him to show his childish side.

Li Yanwen quickly put down the medicine box and knelt down and said: "The common people knelt down to Mr. Xu and thanked Mr. Xu for saving the child's life. I am very grateful."

Xu Jin hurriedly stepped forward to help Li Yanwen up and said with a smile: "Doctor Li, please get up quickly. No need to be polite. Your son is smart and proficient in medical skills. He has helped me a lot during this time."

Li Yanwen frowned and said, "Mr. Xu, you are ridiculous. My little ability is not even superficial. How can I say that I am proficient in medical skills?"

Li Shizhen lowered his head in shame and said, "Dad is right. Only now do I realize that my little ability is really not even close to that of my father."

A strange look flashed in Li Yanwen's eyes. His son has been a thorny person who refused to admit defeat since he was a child. Now that he said such "frustrating" words, it seemed that he was hit hard. He snorted coldly: "Just understand."

!”

After Li Yanwen finished speaking, he hugged Xu Jin and said, "Mr. Xu is laughing. I heard that you purchased a large amount of Renzhonghuang Powder in Caozhou City, so the people guessed that there was a pimple plague, and it just so happened that the people didn't know how to treat the disease.

So I came here specially to recommend myself."

Xu Jin nodded and said: "Doctor Li's medical ethics and benevolence are admirable. There is indeed a pimple plague here, and three patients have died." After speaking, he pointed to the corpses in the room.

Li Yanwen glanced at the room, nodded and said, "This death is definitely a sign of pimple plague!"

Li Shizhen said in frustration: "Dad, last night my child clearly followed the instructions in the medical book to bleed the patient's Weizhong point, and then applied Yushu Dan externally and Renzhonghuang San internally, but it had no effect at all."

Li Yanwen asked Li Shizhen carefully about the patient's condition before receiving treatment and the process of treatment and medication.

Li Shizhen answered one by one. After listening, Li Yanwen lectured: "Zhen'er, it is better to have no books than to believe in books. To treat a disease, you must prescribe the right medicine according to the patient's condition. According to what you said, the patient was already very serious at the time. The amount of medicine you used

If it is too light, the dose must be at least doubled. Of course, the patient’s gender, age and body shape must also be considered, and then the dosage must be increased or decreased as appropriate.”

"Oh!" Li Shizhen scratched her little head with a sky-high bun.

Li Yanwen asked again: "By the way, Zhen'er, how many days since the plague started? How many more patients are there in the village?"

Li Shizhen pinched her fingers and said: "If we count the days, today is the fourth day. There is still one confirmed case among the villagers, and there is still one unconfirmed case!"

Li Yan was surprised when he heard this: "It's strange that there were four cases in four days. The disease is coming quickly and spreads very fast. Generally, the number of people with the disease doubles every day. Well, take me to see if the diagnosis is confirmed."

That patient, oh by the way, Mr. Xu, these two corpses must be burned as soon as possible."

Xu Jin ordered the two Jin Yiwei behind him to dispose of the corpses of the villagers who died of illness. However, the two Jin Yiwei were obviously frightened by the tragic state of the corpses and did not dare to enter the room. Finally, Xu Jin simply asked them to burn the house together. The two Jin Yiwei

Then he ran to find firewood with relief.

Soon, the entire house was burned to the ground in a raging fire, and the two bodies and all the items in the house were reduced to ashes.

The remaining villager who was diagnosed only became ill last night, and Li Shizhen also diagnosed and treated him last night. He took a dose of Renzhonghuang Powder and looked quite energetic at this time, with only a few red and swollen bumps on his neck.

, the condition is obviously mild.

Li Yanwen checked the villager's pulse and immediately took out a three-edged needle to bleed him. His technique was obviously much more skillful than Li Shizhen's. He really hit the nail on the head. The dark red blood dripped down the tail of the needle into the spittoon. When the blood dripped less than half

When the patient is in the cup, tighten the needle immediately and then bleed the other leg immediately.

After the patient's two legs were drained of blood, Li Yanwen used silver needles to perform acupuncture on several acupuncture points on the patient's body, and then applied Yushu Dan externally to the affected area with a clean and neat movement.

"I feel much better all over, but I'm still a little itchy!" The patient said happily after finishing the acupuncture.

Li Yanwen smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I will stop itching after taking a dose of Renzhonghuang Powder. Your symptoms are still mild. You took the medicine in time last night and you will be fine!"

When the villager heard this, he was overjoyed and thanked him profusely: "Thank you Doctor Li and Doctor Xiao Li!"

At that moment, Li Yanwen prescribed a prescription for Renzhong Huangsan and ordered Li Shizhen to prepare the medicine according to the dose and give it to the patient. Seeing Li Yanwen's confident look, Xu Jin couldn't help but feel reassured. If the epidemic was not effectively controlled, he would have no choice but to take it in the end.

Now I can take the measures proposed by Sima Yuan with determination.

After treating the confirmed villager, Xu Jin took Li Yanwen back to his residence for diagnosis and treatment by Xue Bingxin.

It is said that Xue Bingxin's fever subsided after taking medicine last night, but then she had a recurring fever and more red spots appeared on her body, but they were not like red and swollen pimples. Li Shizhen has been helpless.

When Xu Jin walked into the room with Li Yanwen, Xue Bingxin happened to be awake. After just one night, she felt much more haggard and her eyes were dim. When she saw Xu Jin come in, she immediately covered her mouth with the quilt and coughed violently.

While coughing, he said: "Don't come here, you will be infected!"

Xu Jin sighed secretly, she was really a kind girl, and comforted: "Miss Xue, this is Dr. Li Yanwen, Xiao Lizi's father. He has superb medical skills and knows how to treat pimples. Let him show you."

Xue Bingxin looked at Li Yanwen hesitantly, and the latter said with a smile: "Miss Xue, your illness doesn't look like pimple plague, please relax!"

Xue Bingxin hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded. After all, there is still a glimmer of hope, and no one wants to die!

Li Yanwen went over, put the medicine box aside, first asked Xue Bingxin to roll up her sleeves and looked at her arms, then wrapped a cloth strip around her hands and touched Xue's neck, and finally felt her pulse.

"Doctor Li, what disease is this little girl suffering from?" Xue Bingxin asked anxiously.

Li Yanwen relaxed his frown and said with a smile: "The girl just has a cold, not a pimple. She will be fine after taking a few medicines."

Li Shizhen asked curiously: "The child also thinks he has caught a cold, but what about the red spots on Miss Xue's body?"

Li Yanwen replied: "I guess she has a rash. Has Miss Xue touched anything taboo recently? For example, some people will get a rash when they touch pollen, and some people will get a rash after eating peanuts!"

"Doctor Li mean skin allergies?" Xu Jin blurted out.

Li Yanwen asked in astonishment: "Skin allergy? This... I am ignorant!"

Xu Jin couldn't help but secretly sweat. Skin allergies are a Western medicine term. The ancients didn't know it and it wasn't surprising, so he explained it.

After hearing this, Li Yan suddenly said: "This idea from Westerners is quite new. I bet Mr. Xu also learned the method of disinfecting with vinegar from Westerners!"

"Haha, by chance, I have indeed read a few books imported from the West. Plague is a disease that is transmitted by viruses. As long as we maintain good hygiene and eliminate germs, it can play a very good preventive role!"

Li Yanwen touched his palm and said: "No wonder four people fell ill in the village within four days of the disease. I bet Master Xu's method worked. Well, this experience is worth learning from and promoting. Isn't it convenient for Master Xu to write down the specific method?"

Xu Jin smiled and said: "Of course there is no problem. It's a pity that those Western books have been lost. Fortunately, I still remember part of the content. I will write it down and give it to Doctor Li for detailed reference. It should be of some benefit."
