Jin Wu stepped back with the tray and closed the door.
Zhou Zhi raised his hand gently, and the flickering candle was instantly extinguished by the strong wind.
Zhou Zhi lay down and fell asleep peacefully.
——
After a night's sleep, Su Xiaolu was full of energy. After she got up, she ate something and started diagnosing the patient's pulse.
In just one night, about ten more people died, and dozens more people were infected for the first time.
She checked the pulses of the patients admitted yesterday to see if they were getting better after taking the new medicine.
Yesterday I found out that I had symptoms of the deadly plague, so I changed the medicine a few times. From midnight to dawn, the infected person had already taken it twice. If the medicine is right, the symptoms will be relieved.
Su Xiaolu was checking Su Hua's pulse. Su Hua's condition was much better. He said to Su Xiaolu: "Maybe the medicine at night has taken effect. I don't want to cough so much anymore, and my throat doesn't hurt so much anymore."
Su Hua wanted Su Xiaolu not to worry too much, as his condition was already getting better.
Su Xiaolu showed a smile and said: "The symptoms have been relieved a little. Remember to take medicine on time."
The symptoms were somewhat relieved, but the root cause of the disease could not be eliminated. It was only temporarily relieved, but she knew this in her heart and would not say it out loud.
Both brothers and sisters are using their own ways to make each other stop worrying so much.
After Su Xiaolu checked Su Hua's pulse, he checked on other patients. They took new medicine last night and the symptoms were relieved.
At this time, someone came to invite Su Xiaolu and the old doctor to come over.
The old doctor washed his hands with potion and looked at Su Xiaolu: "Little Lu, let's go."
The two of them went to the front hall together.
"Little deer girl, do you see anything?"
On the way, the old doctor asked Su Xiaolu.
"Mr. Sun, after changing the medicine last night, the symptoms were relieved, which means that there are also components of the Dead Man's Plague, but there are other things, not just the Dead Man's Plague."
Su Xiaolu felt heavy. Plague viruses are inherently complex. What kind of pathological changes they may have are often unexpected. The increase of each type of bacteria will cause the virus to mutate.
Mr. Sun sighed: "It's so difficult to explain, I'm afraid we have to find out the source of the disease."
How to find the source of this disease is also a headache.
When the two of them arrived in the front hall, Su Xiaolu saw Zhou Zhi at a glance, and she knew that this guy hadn't left yet!
A suspicious and calculating person is not so easy to deceive.
Zhou Zhi looked at Su Xiaolu with gentle eyes and said, "Hello, Miss Su."
Huang Xingliang looked at Su Xiaolu. He did not expect that Zhou Zhi had already met Su Xiaolu. He was a little curious, but this was not something he could ask. He said to Su Xiaolu and Mr. Sun: "Shenyi Doctor Su, Dr. Sun, you are all
A doctor with profound medical skills, the second prince is the person sent from the capital to take charge of this matter. Regarding the epidemic, you and the second prince should talk about it."
After Huang Xingliang finished speaking, he stopped talking. With Zhou Zhi in charge, he just waited for orders.
Mr. Sun cupped his hands to Zhou Zhigong and said: "I have met the second prince. I can't do anything about this epidemic with my medical skills. Now I can only place my hope on the miracle doctor."
Su Xiaolu dissected a few corpses and found out that there was a human plague. Her accomplishments and courage were beyond his reach. On this point, Mr. Sun had already given up.
In private, he could still take advantage of his age and call Su Xiaolu "Little Deer Girl".
In fact, his medical skills were far behind Su Xiaolu's.
Zhou Zhi looked at Su Xiaolu and said seriously: "Miss Su, if you have any good ideas, just tell me and I will do my best to cooperate with you."
Zhou Zhi cannot be underestimated when he is serious. He has a kind of courage. Su Xiaolu looked at him and said: "First seal the city and close the door, and investigate from the source."
There was a smile in Zhou Zhi's eyes: "It seems that we are on the same page. I ordered the city to be closed last night. As for finding the source, just say so and I will fully cooperate."
Su Xiaolu said: "I don't have any good way to find the source. I just check one by one, one by one."
Finding the source is like solving a crime. Investigate thoroughly one by one, and then look for connections between several people. If you follow the clues, you will be able to find out.
In this world, as long as something has been done, it cannot be without traces.
Su Xiaolu had determination in her eyes, she was bound to find out.
Zhou Zhi nodded: "Okay, let's check one by one."
Zhou Zhi looked at Huang Xingliang, and Huang Xingliang immediately said: "There were three people who got sick initially. They all died on the same day, and they were treated at about the same time. The only difference is that they were in different medical clinics."
"Of those three people, one is named Zhang Yimin, who mainly delivers firewood, one is named Wang Dongzi, who delivers vegetables every day, and one named Wu Ping'an is in the live poultry business. These three are dead.
But there are still people in the family, and several close relatives have already fallen ill and passed away in the area."
Huang Xingliang immediately told the information about the three people who died first. Suspecting that it was an epidemic, he immediately separated these people. However, these three people had died two days ago.
The things these three people do are too different. They all belong to different households and come into contact with many people. There is no connection between them.
For example, Zhang Yimin, who delivered firewood, and Wu Pingan, who raised the poultry, did not know each other at all.
No one knows why they contracted the disease.
"I want to visit their homes and ask about their families."
Su Xiaolu said.
Huang Xingliang was about to say that there was no need and he had checked it long ago, but before he could speak, Zhou Zhi had already spoken.
"Then let's go now."
Zhou Zhi spoke and looked at Su Xiaolu.
Huang Xingliang swallowed back what he said and immediately started making arrangements.
Mr. Sun thought for a while and said, "Then I will stay and keep an eye on the situation of the infected people."
Zhou Zhi nodded lightly, looked at Su Xiaolu and made a gesture of invitation.
He set off with Su Xiaolu.
Huang Xingliang said to Mr. Sun: "Doctor Sun, I'll help you."
Mr. Sun waved his hand. He couldn't help much if he went. If he stayed, he still had things to do.
We don’t know the real source of the disease, but the medicine to cure human plague is effective, so we should start from this aspect and stabilize the condition first. It will be a good thing if the patient can live a few more days.
Su Xiaolu walked slowly, keeping the same pace as Zhou Zhi.
After leaving Jishi Hall, Jin Wu, who was waiting with the carriage, stepped forward.
Zhou Zhi turned to Huang Xingliang and said, "Master Huang, please show me the way."
Zhou Zhi looked at Su Xiaolu and said, "Miss Su, please."
Su Xiaolu got on the carriage, Zhou Zhi also got up, and Huang Xingliang got up last.
Huang Xingliang told Jin Wu the address, then closed his eyes to rest.
Su Xiaolu also closed her eyes to rest, but she could feel Zhou Zhi looking at her, so she was too lazy to be suspicious and let him go.
Let’s deal with the epidemic first.
Zhou Zhi looked at Su Xiaolu and saw that her face was calm and her eyes were closed. She didn't open her eyes anyway, which gave him more opportunities to look at her.
Su Xiaolu has beautiful eyes, a beautiful mouth, nose, and eyebrows.
