Brother, are you married?

Because Wang's house is located in the northeast of the Ling Dynasty, they set off all the way to the northwest, and they arrived at their destination after half a month of hurrying.

The affected area is a place called Loucheng, which is the northern border of the Ling Dynasty. Therefore, the houses in the main urban area and the surrounding areas are built with solid stones tens of meters high, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, hence the name of Loucheng. come.

I also saw a few people at the bottom of the building, the whole city was lifeless, Lin Xuan couldn't help saying: "So desolate?"

Dr. Liu did not speak, and took Lin Xuan to the entrance of the city, "Where are you from, Loucheng can only enter but not exit now." A guard of the city stopped the two of them and said.

"This is Liu Xiangren, a doctor. This time the plague broke out in Loucheng, so I come here to help." He said and took out a dish and handed it over.

"So it's the doctor, you guys go into the city."

After Lin Xuan followed Dr. Liu in, he asked in amazement, "Master, what did you just take out?"

Dr. Liu looked back from the outside, "This is the doctor's diagnosis certificate. After you have learned the basics, you can go to the government to file a record and practice medicine independently. Without this, you need to bear joint and several responsibilities if you treat patients with casualties."

Lin Xuan was a little confused, so he asked in detail.

It turns out that the doctor in this place is not what Lin Xuan thought he could treat people at will. The doctor has a record in the government, and the level is determined according to the number of people healed and the death rate. If a doctor dies when he treats a person, if there is no detailed record and reason Need to go to jail.

Lin Xuan understood the management system of doctors here, so he couldn't help biting his tongue, and followed Doctor Liu resentfully, determined to learn medical skills well, otherwise, because of poor skills, it would be useless to treat people who died.

According to the address of the letter, Lin Xuan and Dr. Liu found a place to live. Because they were not there, Lin Xuan and Dr. Liu sat in the living room and waited.

"Xiang Ren?" A man with white eyebrows and long beard came over.

"Senior brother!" Doctor Liu got up, and Lin Xuan hurriedly got up.

"Sit down, sit down quickly, it's been a hard journey all the way!" Wang Mingmao hurried forward and pulled Dr. Liu to sit down.

"Who is this?" Wang Mingmao sat down and asked Doctor Liu when he saw Lin Xuan.

"My apprentice, Lin Xuan, coming here this time will really let him learn a lot." Turning to Lin Xuan, he said, "Lin Xuan, this is my senior brother, you can just call him uncle."

Lin Xuan hurriedly got up again, bowed his hands and said, "Master!"

Wang Mingmao nodded in response.

The two recounted the old days and got to the point.Dr. Liu took the initiative to ask, "What's the situation in this Loucheng?"

Wang Mingmao sighed, this started a month ago.A hunter in the city went hunting and came back with a high fever and coughed up blood. Treatment was ineffective, and he died a few days later. His skin all over his body was black and purple.Soon the family members also fell ill one after another, and their skin was black and purple, and the people around them all got the disease one after another.

Dr. Liu pondered, "Then is there any way to treat it now?"

"This is the most important thing now. The disease is not difficult to treat, but the speed of infection is so fast that the treatment cannot catch up with the infection." Wang Mingmao sighed, "Now the situation in Loucheng, many doctors are unwilling to come, resulting in a shortage of doctors. The situation is not good. ideal."

"I'll go and have a look with you." Dr. Liu stroked his beard and got up.

"Don't worry about it right now. You two, the master and the apprentice, must be tired after trekking over mountains and rivers. Let's settle down and rest, and then go tomorrow." Wang Mingmao asked someone to take Dr. Liu Lin Xuan to the resting place.

Early the next morning, the two went to the disease-affected area with Wang Mingmao. In order not to infect others, the patients lived in tents built.

Many exposed skins were dark purple, which was a sign of a serious illness. The darker the color, the more serious the illness. Looking at the rows of patients in the tents, Lin Xuan felt very uncomfortable.

For several days in a row, Lin Xuan followed Dr. Liu to the ward for checkups, communicated with other doctors by the way, and obtained the symptoms of the disease, but they did not get a definite way to stop the infection.

"Xiang Ren, what do you think? People are isolated and their clothes are cleaned up. Why are some people still infected?" Wang Mingmao was very dissatisfied with the current situation where there was no progress at all, and pinned his hopes on his junior brother who had just arrived. Hope he can bring different advice.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Lin Xuan began to think. Infection is nothing more than blood, breath, and skin. Now, infection can occur even in people who have never been in contact with the source of the disease. Why?

Standing not far away, watching people carry out one after another, Lin Xuan felt very uncomfortable. He had never had close contact with dead people.Lin Xuan missed Wu Shanqing more and more.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, but the disease still has no progress, and people who have been cured are quickly infected, which is really puzzling.The buzzing mosquitoes in my ears were very disturbing, and Lin Xuan couldn't move them away even with a wave of his hand.

Lin Xuan suddenly sat up, "Mosquitoes! By the way! Mosquitoes, the way of infection, blood infection not only refers to the blood of the patient, but also the carrier of the source of the disease. If the mosquito sucks the blood of the sick person, it will suck other Human blood, at this time the mosquitoes have already carried the source of the disease, which is why they are infected without touching anything of the patient..." Thinking of this, Lin Xuan got up excitedly.

"Master! I got it, master, I got it!" Lin Xuan broke into Dr. Liu's room directly.

Dr. Liu trembled in shock, and said angrily, "You know what, and you know that you have to knock on the door, polite..."

"Master!" Lin Xuan interrupted: "I know why people who have been healed are still infected, and why people who are not in contact with patients are still infected!"

Dr. Liu opened his eyes wide: "What did you say?... Seriously?"

"Really!" Lin Xuan told him his deduction.

After a long time, Dr. Liu thought about it, got up and ran to Wang Mingmao's room, pushed open the door without saying a word, and Lin Xuan who followed behind rolled his eyes, "I just said I was rude, and I am not! But they didn't lock it at all. Woolen cloth."

Not to mention how Dr. Liu told his senior brother, and how excited he was, Lin Xuan, who was already asleep at this time, was pulled up by two people.

"This mosquito bite is definitely unavoidable, and there was no mosquito a month ago, so how can this be explained?" Wang Mingmao was even more entangled.

Lin Xuan had no choice but to sit up, don't expect to fall asleep if this matter is not resolved, and cleared his mind: "Master, think about it, mosquito bites can carry the source of disease, it's not the same when bitten by other things, such as fleas, rats, etc. Yes, not all the same."

Hearing Lin Xuan's words, the two of them frowned, "Yes, why didn't I think of that! Xiang Ren, your apprentice is well accepted, and has a better future than the two of us." Wang Mingmao said happily.

"But how can this be solved? The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and it is the breeding season for mosquitoes and fleas." Thinking of this, they asked again. The two brothers and sisters looked at Lin Xuan, asking for an answer.

Lin Xuan frowned and thought for a while: "Master, what should we do with the body of the person who died of illness?

"It's all buried!"

"For this infectious disease, the infected person is the source of the infection. If the patient's body is buried, the source of the disease is still there. Therefore, the patient's body needs to be burned to completely cut off the source of the disease."

Hearing Lin Xuan's words, the two of them found it hard to accept. People in this era pay attention to burial, and burying in the ground is safe. No one can accept cremation.

After asking, the two went back to their rooms. Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he could finally sleep peacefully.

A few days later, I don't know how Wang Mingmao convinced everyone that all the corpses of the deceased should be burned with fire, and according to Lin Xuan's suggestion, the clothes and things used by the patients should be burned with fire, and the daily tableware should be boiled in boiling water before reuse, etc., to prevent all sources of disease .

Lin Xuan also thought about sewing a simple mask and wearing it on the face to introduce to the outside world that doctors use this thing to reduce the possibility of infection, so many people in Loucheng began to wear masks.

This method has indeed reduced the infection of some people, and the scope of infection has also been controlled to a certain extent. Everyone admires Lin Xuan very much.

Lin Xuan didn't go out this afternoon, and it has been more than two months since he left Wang's house. Lin Xuan decided to write a letter to Wu Shanqing, asking him how he is doing?By the way, I told him about my experience here, and asked Shanxun and Yuanyuan how they are doing recently, and finally, I will put pen to paper...I miss you. "

"Who is Shanqing?" Suddenly a voice sounded, which didn't scare Lin Xuan to death.

Turning around, he saw a young man standing in front of him at some unknown time: "Who are you? I don't know that scaring people can scare people to death!" Lin Xuan questioned in shock.

The man spread his hands, "I have knocked on the door several times, but you didn't respond, it's because you are too engrossed, no wonder me!"

Lin Xuan snorted and packed up the finished letter, "That's not allowed, you can't come in without the permission of the owner of the room."

"Your name is Lin Xuan?" The man walked around the room

"Yes, what can I do for you? I don't know who you are yet!" Lin Xuan stopped what he was doing and asked.

"You will know in the future." Before Lin Xuan could send a message, the man turned and left.

"Weird." Lin Xuan said to himself, and took the letter to the post station to post it.

"Astragalus, puffball, 2 qian, isatid root, raw gypsum [-] qian, ginseng, ... red peony root..." According to Master's request, Lin Xuan put all the medicines into a large pot and boiled them, and then served them to the patients drink.

Prepare another pair of medicine with lower efficacy and put it in the pot before boiling water. These are for people who take care of patients to drink to prevent infection.

After nearly three months, the infectious disease has gradually come under control, many people's lives are on the right track, and people are gradually starting businesses on the streets.

"Lin Xuan?"

"Huh?" Lin Xuan sat in the room in a daze

The visitor, Wang Mingmao, sat at the table and bought himself a cup of tea. "Come with me to Loucheng Lord's Mansion tomorrow, don't go out tomorrow"

"Oh, yes! Hey, no, why should I go to the Lord's Mansion tomorrow?" Lin Xuan asked puzzled.

After drinking two cups of tea, Wang Mingmao stopped, "Because of this plague, you have made a lot of ideas to let Loucheng pass through safely, so the landlord wants to meet you. This is a good thing, and it shows that the landlord recognizes your talents. You have to seize the opportunity." Patting the folds of the clothes on his body, he shook his head and walked out.
