About five miles out of the south gate of Dingzhou, there are two villages across the water, which is where Sun Tu and his two men are aiming today.
It's just that these two small villages that were supposed to be peaceful and peaceful are now shrouded in an atmosphere of solemnity and sadness. A group of Xia soldiers with complete armor and swords and guns were guarding the main road in and out of the village. No one was allowed to enter or exit at will. From time to time, a few mournful cries could be heard in the village, which was really sad to hear. .
Jie Sangwa, who walked to the entrance, also showed a look of compassion: "The young monk has only been here for five days, but he has already seen eight people pass away due to illness. Even though I have tried all kinds of methods, I still can't do it. I have tried a lot of medicines, but it is still difficult for the patient to recover, and the disease is still spreading here. If it continues like this, I'm afraid..." He couldn't bear to say the next words, so he could only pronounce another Buddha's name to end the matter.
Sun Tu's expression became solemn at this time: "I can't guarantee that I can cure them, I can only do my best." As he spoke, he walked towards the village with the monk.
The Xia soldiers who originally wanted to stop Sun Tu saw that it was Master Jiesang who led Sun Tu over, so they quickly changed their actions to a Heshi salute, and at the same time asked with concern: "Master, Can this disease be cured?"
"Young monk, you must do your best, and you should also pay more attention to avoid being infected by the disease." After returning the gift, Jie Sangwa continued to take Sun Tu to the village. When they officially entered the village, Sun Tu immediately smelled a pungent smell of medicine filling the air. Only a few people were still walking along the paths in the village. A large pot was set up in the open space in the middle of the village, with a fire burning underneath. The decoction is being cooked, and it is obvious that the strong medicinal smell comes from this.
Master Jiesang said a few comforting words to the people who came forward to salute and ask for help. At the same time, he also explained the situation here to Sun Tu: "There are currently 132 people in the villages on both sides, among whom have been diagnosed with the disease. There are forty-seven patients in total. As for the others, they have not shown symptoms yet. However, because the epidemic spread so quickly, the prince ordered people to close the village early in the morning as a precautionary measure."
Sun Tu nodded, sighing in his heart. He knows very well that this is actually the wisest choice in today's era. When an epidemic does break out in a certain place, in order to protect more people from being infected, isolating this small group of people is the most effective method. As for In the end, the life and death of these people can only be left to fate. It was extremely rare for the King of Yue to be able to invite a doctor from the city for the villagers. Even in the Song Dynasty, there were probably not many officials who could do it.
While they were talking, several men with completely different complexions and clothes from the villagers also walked out of the big house in front of them. As soon as they saw Jie Sangwa, someone said anxiously: "Master, what did the prince say? Can we wait for you?" Are you back in the city? This epidemic is really weird. I have tried all the medicines in the past few days but I can't cure them. Moreover, even Mr. Li can't afford to be sick. If he doesn't leave, he will... "
Obviously, Jie Sangwa returned to the city this time to find an excuse to plead for these doctors, but he did not mention this matter in front of the King of Yue. When everyone looked at him eagerly, Master Jiesang still looked extremely calm, like a senior monk: "You don't have to panic. This time when the young monk went to see the prince, he happened to meet a master who was good at diagnosing and treating epidemics. This time grandson
The master will be able to cure the illnesses of the people in the two villages. So I ask you to wait for two more days so that you can help Mr. Sun and help save people. "
When the doctor heard this, his face suddenly fell: "I have been busy here for more than ten days and I still don't have any clue. Even you, the master, are helpless. What can a young guy like him do? Dare you boast so much?" These people were disappointed and frustrated because they couldn't go back. They didn't dare to vent their anger on Master Jiesang, so they could only vent their anger to someone they thought they could suppress.
Faced with everyone's doubts and ridicule, Sun Tu didn't react much. He just bowed slightly and said: "I am young and talented, and I am really not as good as you in medicine. But I was also ordered to come here, and now I can only do my best." I've done my best. Can anyone please take me to see the patients first, and then ask them how they are doing?"
Originally, these people wanted to say something provocative, but after meeting Sun Tu's shining eyes, they suddenly felt a chill in their hearts for some reason, and actually nodded politely, then turned around and walked towards him. They were led inside and came to the big room they just came out from: "There are twenty-one patients here."
Hearing this, Sun Tu couldn't help but frown. This arrangement was too casual. He actually put all these people, even patients, together. This was because he was afraid that their illness would not be severe enough or that they would not die.
Sun Tu, who was not in a hurry to speak, changed his expression after walking into the door, and immediately held his breath. The doctors around him also covered their mouths and noses with their sleeves at this time, just because the smell in the room was too strong and strange, including the residue of the decoction and the sour smell emanating from people's bodies. There were also bursts of coughing in the middle, which made people's scalp numb and their heartbeat quickened.
Under the dim light of the oil lamp inside, Sun Tu finally saw clearly the conditions of the patients. These more than twenty people were arranged on several mattresses. Each one of them was weak, with complexions that were either gray or flushed. Low coughing sounds came from their mouths from time to time. Sometimes some people would spit out phlegm when they turned their heads. Vomited out.
After just a few glances, Sun Tu couldn't stand it anymore and immediately left without saying anything. This behavior made those doctors even more disdainful of him. They thought he really had any extraordinary medical skills, but he couldn't even withstand this little battle.
But when they came out later, before they could say a few words of ridicule, Sun Tu had already darkened his face and said, "Is this how you treat illnesses and save people? If that's the case, I would like to say that only a few dozen people died during this period. It’s all good luck!”
"How dare you be so arrogant and rude!" After hearing this, all the men immediately became angry and yelled at him one after another. The movement here immediately attracted the attention of other people in the village. Master Jiesang, who was still trying to comfort people, also rushed over and asked what had happened.
Sun Tu didn't care about the anger of these doctors at all, he just sneered: "These patients are coughing frequently and have difficulty breathing. It's good for you, you actually packed them all into a room, even if they just have ordinary minor illnesses." , If this continues, it will inevitably become a serious disease without treatment! Who made this rule, and what is the difference between it and disregarding human life? "
"Okay, how dare you say that His Highness the King of Yue is looking down on people
Damn, you are so brave! "A doctor immediately seized the opportunity and yelled loudly. Others also showed malicious sneers. This idea of arranging patients in a centralized manner to avoid infection and at the same time facilitate doctors' diagnosis and treatment really came from the King of Yue. mean.
They originally thought that Sun Tu would be frightened by this and take the initiative to admit his mistake. She didn't want him but didn't take it seriously at all. She still sneered and said: "I think you are the ones with real bad intentions. You want to trap the King of Yue into injustice! The King of Yue is wise and considerate of the people under his rule, so he went out of his way to do this." This arrangement. But after all, he doesn’t understand medicine, so the fault of his life is not his fault. But what about you? You are all famous doctors in Dingzhou City. Don’t you know that patients need ventilation in their living environment to keep their breathing smooth? Is that true? Didn’t you realize that even good people can’t stay there, and you actually let them stay for more than ten days? This is obviously because they don’t want to die fast enough!”
The words came out, which made all the doctors speechless for a while. Even Sang Wa blushed because he had seen this matter before but had never raised any objection. In this way, what Sun Tu taught the doctors was also a lesson to him!
In fact, Sun Tu really misunderstood these doctors on this point. They may have a wise idea of protecting themselves, but since they are here, they naturally hope to cure these patients. It's just that there is a thousand-year difference in knowledge between the two parties. In Sun Tu's opinion, nursing knowledge, which is the simplest and can be called common sense, is completely new to people today, especially to Dangxiang people who are more culturally backward. of knowledge.
But some things are just like that, they are clearly right in front of you, and as long as no one points them out, no one will care. Now that Sun Tu said this, everyone was suddenly shocked to realize how big a mistake they had made before. So after hearing this, none of the doctors actually said anything back, but instead lowered their heads in shame. Even Lianjie Sangwa stepped forward at this time, saluted Sun Tuheshi solemnly, and said sincerely: "Donor Sun is indeed very insightful. The young monk really invited the right person this time. We did neglect such important matters before, I'm really ashamed. Hurry, ask people to vacate some rooms, clean them up and spread out the patients."
"But..." someone couldn't help but asked worriedly: "This will bring many people into contact with the patient. If the disease is allowed to spread..."
"There's no reason why it's so easy to get infected. Just ask the villagers who are helping people to cover their mouths and noses with cloth, and don't talk directly to the patients at close range." Sun Tu said, and then thought of something else: "What if If you are still worried, you can soak the cloth in vinegar before using it. If you have a lot of vinegar, you can put some in every household, which can also play a protective role." Just start from now Seeing what he saw behind the house, Sun Tu had already made some guesses, thinking that the so-called epidemic was just a flu caused by the sudden cold weather. If it was as he predicted, using vinegar could indeed solve a lot of prevention and treatment problems. problems, and he was really able to get a lot of symptomatic drugs from the warehouse system.
What makes Sun Tu feel strange is that it is really because of this minor illness that the officials and people of Dingzhou are panicked, leaving big figures like the King of Yue and Jie Sangwa at a loss what to do
