"Where are the two women who were sick earlier?" Xia Shang stood up and asked.
This was confusing. The team leader asked Xia Shang: "Now we want to find out how this person died. We don't want you to go see a doctor now."
At this time, the sky was getting darker, and everyone's faces looked gloomy in the dim environment.
Although no one paid much attention to this person's death, it happened around him after all, and everyone wanted the matter to come to an end as soon as possible.
Xia Shang glanced at the crowd and felt a little worried. He lowered his voice and said to the leader: "This man's death is related to the illness of the two women before. They all have the same symptoms."
"Then what does this mean? What does it have to do with those two women?"
"If it is just a fever, this person will not die. I think I may have thought of things too simply. The two women just had a simple fever. I now need to re-check the conditions of the two women to avoid the same
things happen.”
The leader's expression changed: "You mean, someone might die?"
"I'm not sure now, but the possibility is definitely there."
"Is the matter that serious?"
"I don't know if it's serious or not. As the team leader, you should find a way to give everyone an explanation. To appease their emotions, it's best not to create an atmosphere of panic in the team."
"I know this best! But... you'd better not let me find out that you are playing tricks. Otherwise, you will die in an ugly way."
Xia Shang didn't care about the other party's threat and said calmly: "Now, you should have called the two women from before, right?"
The team leader frowned and nodded.
Xia Shang was sent to a deserted place under the protection of several caravan guards.
Others were a little strange and didn't know what the reason was.
Xia Shang's judgment must not be made known to others, otherwise it will cause unnecessary panic.
I don’t know how the team leader explained it to the others. Not long after, the two women who had come to see him were sent to Xia Shang again.
Also coming over at the same time were their husbands.
One of the middle-aged husbands didn’t quite understand and asked, “Doctor, what’s going on? Haven’t you already taken medicine?”
Xia Shang smiled faintly: "When we are away from home, the drugs we can use are limited, and it is difficult to provide the best and most professional treatment for patients. Therefore, keeping an eye on the patient's condition at any time is also a common method used by our doctors to treat patients in difficult environments."
This sentence made the middle-aged husband who spoke was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Doctor, you are really amazing."
Xia Shang ignored them and looked at the two women again, pretending not to care.
More than an hour has passed since the previous symptom check, and the two women are still in a semi-conscious state, still feverish all over, and even have difficulty breathing.
This is not normal.
To the two husbands, their wives' symptoms did not seem to be anything strange, and it was probably just that the effects of the medicine had not yet taken effect.
But Xia Shang already felt that his treatment did not seem to have much effect.
"When did you realize that your wife was uncomfortable?"
"It should have been three days ago. I just had some coughing and sweating. I didn't pay attention at the time."
"Mine appeared five days ago, and the symptoms are similar. The main reason is that I feel like I am in a hurry, and the minor problems will pass after I tolerate them."
Xia Shang nodded: "From now on, both of them will be under my supervision. I will try acupuncture..."
The two husbands didn't understand anything and nodded repeatedly: "Doctor, whatever you say will be done."
The two husbands were somewhat silent, as if they didn't care about their wives' illness. After saying a few words, they dispersed and went to rest.
Xia Shang still had a headache, which was the first symptom he had encountered.
As a doctor, Xia Shang has very little experience. What he is best at is dealing with trauma and toxins. Some difficult and complicated diseases still require doctors with many years of treatment experience. A doctor like Xia Shang who became a monk on the way is really confused now.
allow.
When it came to using acupuncture, Xia Shang just tried it. Seeing that the two women had signs of blocked breath, he didn't know if acupuncture could improve the condition.
Xia Shang was about to take action when Xian'er came over and seemed to want to show concern.
But before Xian'er got close, Xia Shang raised his hand to stop him: "Don't come over!"
Xian'er was stunned: "Young Master... Xian'er..."
Xia Shang frowned and said very seriously: "Don't come here. In short, don't get close to here now. I hope it's not what I imagined..."
"Why?"
Xia Shang shook his head: "Don't ask. Now you stay with Min Xiner and try not to go to crowded places. Listen to me and I will explain to you when the matter is finalized."
Xian'er rarely saw Xia Shang so serious, and felt that the matter seemed a bit serious, so she stopped asking any more questions, nodded and left.
Half an hour later, Xia Shang made some improvements to the two semi-conscious women through some simple acupuncture treatments. One of them seemed to be more conscious. She looked at Xia Shang and said thank you with difficulty.
"When did you feel uncomfortable? What were the first symptoms?"
"Probably... about six days ago, I felt a little uncomfortable when I entered the mountain trail. At first, I thought I was not used to the distance, but then I felt more and more wrong. Doctor, what's wrong with me?"
Xia Shang smiled: "Don't worry, it's just a small problem, a cold, it'll be fine in two days of rest."
Xia Shang's words seemed to make the woman doubtful: "Is it true?"
Xia Sang patted her shoulder comfortingly: "Don't worry, it's true."
After hearing this, the woman narrowed her eyes in relief.
At this time, the team leader came over and saw Xia Shang comforting the woman. His face showed joy: "Oh? Has the woman's condition improved?"
Xia Shang didn't answer immediately. He stood up and walked aside. He turned around and asked, "Has that person's matter been settled?"
"Don't worry, that person's death will not have anything to do with you. But you'd better let me understand what this is all about."
"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
"Of course it's the truth!"
Xia Shang looked around: "To be honest, I'm not sure yet, but I guess their illness is not simple, but some kind of serious infectious disease."
"Infectious disease?"
"To put it bluntly, it's a plague."
"plague!"
The team leader was shocked and almost screamed.
In ancient times, the greatest threat to human life was not war, but plague.
There are so many legends about the plague. No matter where it is, once the plague breaks out, there will undoubtedly be corpses everywhere, and those who contract the plague will eventually die.
Because the medical conditions in ancient times were very poor, and traditional Chinese medicine was very ineffective in treating plague and viral infectious diseases, once a plague broke out, a large number of people would die.
When the team leader heard the word "plague", his face turned pale: "Boy, don't talk nonsense, this is a life-threatening matter!" (To be continued)
