Yuan Qiu's brows were deeply furrowed, his face was solemn, and he clenched his slender palms involuntarily, asking: "Have you ever seen refugees who fell ill and died? What were their symptoms?"
County Magistrate Chen nodded hurriedly and tried to recall: "I went out to inspect the city that day and saw with my own eyes that the dead refugees had abscesses on their faces, with yellowish-green pus flowing out, and red spots all over their bodies. Some refugees also had red spots on their skin when they died. Black, very weird.”
Yuan Qiu's heart and liver were trembling, and he quickly asked: "Is there anyone coughing up blood? Is there a fever?"
Seeing her serious expression, Chen Zhixian became even more panicked. He nodded repeatedly and said, "I saw a few people coughing up blood, and some also had high fevers. Is it really a plague?"
"It's the plague!" She was almost certain that it was the plague, a disease that spreads very quickly. Once the incubation period has passed and the outbreak occurs, it will be out of control. In ancient times, people who contracted this disease were declared to have died. of his death.
Zhu Yan couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up and walked to Yuan Qiu's side, reached out and held Yuan Qiu's cold hand, and asked urgently: "Is there a cure?"
The most effective and fastest drug for treating plague is streptomycin. However, in this ancient time, if she wanted to cultivate streptomycin, there were too many things that were lacking, and she was not sure.
"There is a medicine that can cure the plague, but I'm not sure I can make it, so I can only try it first!" She knew how to cultivate streptomycin, but she didn't have the necessary utensils or a bacteria-growing greenhouse.
Xia Yuanqiu in Zhu Yan's eyes was always confident, as if nothing was difficult in her eyes.
However, today, he had a hard look in Xia Yuanqiu's eyes. No one knew the horror of the plague better than him. It was almost a terminal disease and the only way out was death.
Xia Yuanqiu did not hesitate, and quickly walked to the desk at the side of the hall, took out the four treasures of the study, wrote down the things she needed and the utensils that could be used to replace the culture vessels, and then drew the hollow silver needles that needed to be customized quickly. and the syringe were handed over to Magistrate Chen, and he was explained in detail again, asking him to prepare everything immediately at all costs.
As soon as Chen Zhixian left, she took a pen and drew on the white paper.
Zhu Yan stepped forward to take a look, but saw that what was drawn on the white paper was a house. The house was very different from the houses where ordinary people lived. There were spaces all around, including under the ground of the house. But Set up a charcoal fire to bake without damaging the house, achieving the effect of heating the four walls.
"What is this?" Zhu Yan asked.
Xia Yuanqiu dried the ink on the house painting, folded it carefully and handed it to Zhu Yan, saying: "This is a greenhouse. If you want to refine medicine that can treat febrile diseases, you need such a greenhouse, no matter what The temperature in the room must be consistent morning and night, and it must not be hot or cold.”
Although autumn is the most comfortable time of the year, in this mountain, the temperature difference between morning and evening is still very large. If there is no greenhouse, this streptomycin will definitely not be cultivated. If there is a greenhouse, it will only increase the chance of success.
Zhu Yan immediately sent someone to take care of it. Then he thought of something and said hurriedly: "Yuanqiu, can the spiritual spring outside the ghost forest also be able to cure the poison of the plague?"
Yuan Qiu shook his head: "Although Lingquan is good, it also has the effect of detoxification, but the effect is very slow. It may be the best medicine for chronic diseases, but this plague is an emergency. Once it occurs, it must be controlled in the shortest possible time. Keep your condition under control, otherwise, you will definitely die in three to five days."
Just like Song Ning's cold poison, although it is severe, it is not an emergency. It will not kill him for a while, but he will have to endure some unbearable pain. This kind of disease can be treated with spiritual spring water and cold-removing medicine. Transforming it slowly, you can finally remove the cold poison in the bone marrow.
