A mist filled the moor, and the weeds swayed sullenly.
The running little girl's footsteps gradually slowed down, and the swing of her brown braids gradually stopped. She wearily sat down beside a low tree. But after a while, she suddenly turned her head and saw a figure approaching.
"Ai Li, hello." Gu Jun felt that he was standing in front of the short tree.
He didn't know which time and space this was, whether it was an illusion or not.
Before chasing after him, he thought that this little girl was a key person, and if she didn't die, the ceremony would not be completed. And now looking at her immature face, the dark spots and pustules looming, he very much hoped that he could save this young life.
"Doctor, do you want to bleed me?" the little girl asked, her blue eyes were very hollow, "Or whipping to atone for my crime?"
This is a common way to treat the Black Death in the Middle Ages in Europe. Bloodletting is used for any disease. It is similar to whipping the patient to pray for God's forgiveness.
The little girl spoke calmly, with an unusual composure that didn't match her age, and her eyes were the ones on the head of the thousand-eyed giant worm.
Gu Jun looked at his mind shaking a bit, calmness and restlessness were fighting against each other...
He suddenly knew that he hadn't been annihilated yet, and the two forces, the Son of Iron and the Son of Doom, were still wrestling.
And he himself is still confronting the thousand-eyed giant worm.
That thousand-eyed giant worm did not have a single soul, but was made up of many, many dead. Maybe these dead still have a part of themselves, after all, the ritual has not been fully completed, and the plague is not irreversible.
"No, neither." Gu Jun shook his head and replied, "It's useless, it's just a product of ignorance."
"But isn't that also the beginning of a new dawn?" the little girl asked, as the dark spots on her face spread wider.
"You mean, the plague is a turning point in history." Gu Jun said, "The turning point in history is not the only way of plague. Although I am a doctor, I know that there are many better ways, such as the advancement of technology, such as A drug emerges."
There are many thoughts surging in his mind, but his will is still gradually congealing.
He saw a medical box appearing next to him, it was the team medical box that had been brought into the dreamland but hadn't completely disappeared.
To deal with possible infections, the box contains various antibiotics.
Gu Jun opened the box and picked up a bottle of streptomycin sulfate from the box. Seeing that the little girl weighed about 15kg, he prepared the liquid medicine according to the amount of 25mg per kilogram of the child's body weight, and said, "This is Streptomycin is very effective against the plague-causing bacteria Yersinia pestis, I will give you two shots a day, and you will recover in a week or two."
"What's the use?" The little girl's eyes were still empty, "Anyway, we're all going to die in the end."
"It is true that we will all die in the end. Our job as doctors is to make it as late as possible for others and ourselves."
Gu Jun remembered what the coachman said, doctors are not gods, doctors are doctors.
"You are really persistent." The little girl murmured softly, slightly hesitant, "You can obviously possess the power of a god..."
"Then will my will still be free?" Gu Jun laughed uncontrollably, "If not, then it's not me, but something else." He took the syringe and prepared the liquid medicine, and left He went forward to give the little girl an intramuscular injection, but the little girl backed away.
"Why are you obsessed with those humble humanity?" The little girl struggled with dark spots on her face, "It is they that hinder you from reaching greatness."
Gu Jun is also thinking about this question, not the first time he has thought about it, nor is it the first time he has been asked this question by the Afterlife Association and the Raliyah Order.
Is it human
Some scenes from before flashed across, no matter whether it is a foreign world, ancient times or modern times, human nature is almost the same.
That's right, he just saw a lot of humble and ugly forms of human nature, which disgusted him like pus and filth.
But... He always felt that human nature is not just like that...
Taking himself as an example, in the past two years, he was not like a fool who was intoxicated and delayed his studies every day, but now he has turned into some kind of mysterious hero.
"Human nature is complicated, so complicated that I can't be sure of the answer to your question, maybe I'm stupid, maybe I'm not."
Gu Jun said and continued to walk, grabbed the little girl's right arm, and rolled up her dirty linen sleeve, "But I don't like a world full of fear and pain. Who told me to take the Hippocratic oath Well, to be a doctor is to eliminate pain."
The little girl's arms were so starved that they were barely skinny and covered with fetid pustules and black spots.
"For me, the way to greatness is to eliminate as much pain as possible."
Gu Jun seriously took a cotton swab and dipped it into a bottle of iodophor, and smeared it on her arm.
"Like Hua Tuo and William Morton, that's great. You know, before they invented and applied anesthesia and inhalational anesthesia, patients were tortured for surgery. After anesthesia, we humans can Using science to fight pain. Oh yes, anesthesia is a historical turning point, the dawn of a new age, how about this?"
He slammed the syringe in his hand, pierced it into the skinny arm muscles of the little girl, and pushed the streptomycin in the needle tube, "Compared with the world of begging for power from the gods, I prefer to use science to explore and gain power." The world of Langton. I will not go the old way."
"Hmm..." The little girl's complexion suddenly changed, and there was a strange glint in those blue eyes.
A shot of streptomycin would not normally have such an immediate effect, but by this time the pustules and dark spots on her face and arms were fading away.
Her struggle became stronger and stronger, the divine light in her eyes became more and more intense, and hazy tears welled up...
"Doctor," she asked suddenly, with a childlike tenderness in her tone: "Can you save my mother too?"
A complex and inexplicable emotion surged up in Gu Jun's heart, and he nodded: "I will do my best, I will do my best."
"My mother is a tailor in the village. She can make very beautiful skirts." The little girl said with a smile, "She said that when I grow up, she will make them for me..."
Before the little girl finished speaking, Gu Jun saw that the surrounding scene changed drastically, and he returned to the dark ocean in the worm house. The thousand-eyed giant worm in front of him was roaring crazily, its body covered with Those limbs twisted endlessly, but much slower than before, as if they had been hit hard.
Among its thousands of eyes, a pair of blue eyes on its head changed.
