Xu Yue had a sad look on her face after she came out of the research room, and Xu Da actually saw it all the time.
Knowing that she actually wanted to do something, but was unable to do so due to her status, Xu Da felt that now was a good opportunity and did not refuse the guards' request.
When Xu Yue learned that her father was going to take her to see the owner of the ship, she only hesitated for a short while and agreed.
Ms. Wang did not object, but only told her children to take precautions on their own.
Xu Erniang was worried and wanted to follow, but Xu Dalang stopped her and had to add a "blessing of light" to each of the three people who were leaving.
So, Xu Yue put on the smock given by her mother, a cloth mask and small gloves, dug out a small box and pretended to be cool. Together with her brother, she followed her father in the name of assistants and came to the ship building with the guards.
inside.
After entering the ship building, where only the ship's owner and wealthy businessmen and gentry could stay, Xu Yue realized that before the ship sailed, there were already sailors on the ship showing symptoms of virus infection.
At first everyone thought it was simple diarrhea and didn't pay much attention.
And after some people did recover after drinking the medicine prescribed by the doctor, no one thought about the contagion.
It wasn't until the owner of the big ship also contracted diarrhea, vomiting, dizziness and other symptoms, and the diarrhea was so severe that doctors couldn't cure it, that everyone started to pay attention to it.
Just paying attention to the host's physical condition was not enough. Since no one thought about contagion, the virus spread through various transmission methods, flowed out of the ship building, and quickly infected the passengers who had just boarded the ship.
On the other hand, the wealthy businessmen and gentry who live in separate compartments are currently in good condition and have no symptoms of diarrhea because of this isolation condition.
However, this virus has an incubation period, ranging from twelve to twenty-four hours. The outbreak has already occurred among the passengers on the deck. If correct intervention is not carried out, the wealthy businessmen and gentry in the compartments will not be able to avoid it either.
What's more, everyone on the ship will suffer.
After learning about these situations, Xu Yue was thankful that the norovirus broke out on the ship, forming a natural isolation barrier from other places.
Otherwise, in villages, towns and counties, the situation will only be more difficult to control.
But there are also disadvantages on board. Various drugs are not adequately prepared, and preventive measures are difficult to implement.
But no matter what, Xu Yue couldn't do it while watching a boat full of people stumbled by this little virus.
...
The small room was filled with oil lamps, illuminating the room brightly.
Gongsun Hao was lying on the couch, his face was pale, his eyes were black and blue, his lips were dry and peeling, and he looked like he was breathing more out than in.
The maid who was always on hand fed him water and applied hot water to his buttocks covered by his robe.
And on those two buttocks, there is a circle mark, which was made by sitting on a chamber pot.
Before tonight, Gongsun Hao had never thought that a little diarrhea could torture him, a warrior who fought in and out of the Wuhuan cavalry, into a state of disgrace.
Today is the fifth day of diarrhea. He had unbearable abdominal pain in the past few days. The doctor gave him medicine. He took it well and the abdominal pain improved a little.
But then he felt a fever and dizziness. During the day, he could still go to the latrine to solve the problem on his own while being supported by others. However, in the middle of the afternoon, his condition, which he thought was getting better, took a turn for the worse.
Now in the middle of the night, he was vomiting and having diarrhea. The chamber pot in the room was almost out of stock. His buttocks were burning. It was really worse than death.
The old doctor who was standing by had been practicing for many years. This was the first time he encountered such a troublesome diarrhea. He prescribed various medicines, but the effect was minimal.
Little did he know that Gongsun Hao had just recovered and was infected with the virus again during his recovery period, leading to a relapse.
The old doctor was looking through ancient medical books in search of treatment methods while waiting for the guards to bring the miracle doctor over.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but the old doctor felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to say anything.
"Master, the miracle doctor is here!"
The guard's report came from outside the door. Before Gongsun Hao, who was lying exhausted on the couch, could even open his mouth to give orders, he felt a cramp in his stomach. He immediately panicked and rolled over from the couch.
Seeing this, Shi Shi, the attendant, hurriedly called the servants to help Gongsun Hao get down on the bed, pulled up the curtain, and solved the situation behind him.
A sound like running water came out, and the old doctor frowned. He stood up and looked around worriedly, fearing that Gongsun Haola might die inside. He asked the medicine boy to bring sweet water boiled with licorice for Gongsun Hao to drink.
After a lot of work in the room, the three men, Xu Da and his son, who were waiting outside the door, were able to enter.
As soon as she entered, Xu Yue raised her eyes and saw the person who was about to collapse on the couch. The other person happened to look over, his eyes widened, and he didn't expect it to be the other person.
"Why is it you, little girl?" Shitou exclaimed.
Xu Dalang glanced at him coldly, and Shitou subconsciously shrank his neck.
Seeing this situation, Xu Da immediately understood that the merchant ship owner lying on the couch who was exhausted was Gongsun Hao, the slave trader who sold Wang Youliang to his daughter.
This is really a coincidence.
Gongsun Hao had no strength left and was confused. When he saw Xu Yue, who was wearing a mask and fully armed, he didn't even have the strength to be surprised. He lay on the bed, hoping that Xu Da, the miracle doctor, would quickly solve his condition.
As for the relationship between Xu Yue's brother and sister and this so-called miracle doctor, it's not too late to ask after he recovers.
When the old doctor saw Xu Da, he acted very modestly.
There is nothing he can do if he is not humble now. If he cannot cure Gongsun Hao, his life will not be saved.
The Gongsun family is the overlord in the north, not to mention that Gongsun Hao is still a direct descendant. If their family pursues it... Just thinking about it, the old doctor couldn't help but shudder.
Xu Da didn't talk nonsense. He looked at each other and Xu Yue, and the father and daughter cooperated tacitly.
Xu Yue doesn't know how to treat diseases, but she has medicine in her hand, and now she knows where the disease is, so she just needs to prescribe the right medicine.
The top priority is to replenish Gongsun Hao's water.
In fact, the old doctor was also doing this. Although the licorice water he boiled was not as effective as the salt-sugar water, it also helped Gongsun Hao delay dehydration to a certain extent.
Gongsun Hao had salt, sugar, and water. He immediately boiled the water and mixed it with salt and sugar water for him to drink.
The effect was immediate, and Gongsun Hao felt that his strength had recovered a lot.
Xu Yue handed the symptomatic medicine to Xu Da again. Xu Da took off the shell of the capsule and poured out the powder, saying that it was a secret recipe handed down from his ancestors and that he wanted to give it to Gongsun Hao.
The old doctor was cautious and wanted to try the medicine.
However, Gongsun Hao was tortured by the disease and no longer wanted to endure it. In addition, he had just drank salt and sugar water and felt the effects. He seemed to be sick and sought medical treatment. He waved the old doctor to skip the drug test and only asked the entourage to test the poison.
, after confirming that it is non-toxic, drink it immediately with warm water.
Western medicine is better than Chinese medicine in that it works quickly.
After taking the medicine, he drank the light rice porridge prepared by his subordinates. Within half an hour, Gongsun Hao felt that his rumbling stomach had improved significantly.
For a moment, I couldn't help but shout: "Xu Gong is really a miracle doctor in this world!"
