Su Yan had a dream, it was a black dream.
In the dream, her hands and feet were tied to a wooden frame, and her surroundings were pitch black, as if the light in this space had been swallowed up.
She couldn't see anything and could only helplessly shout for help.
Suddenly, a beam of light came from a distance, illuminating the darkness in front of her.
But this light made her feel more hopeless than the darkness.
In front of her stood row after row of people, Su Yan recognized their faces, they all died in this plague. The expressions of those people were numb and painful, and a man who couldn't see clearly was holding a long sword in his hand and stabbed the long sword into a person's neck emotionlessly.
Su Yan's eyes widened. She shouted, begged, and struggled, but nothing worked. She could only watch in vain as the man raised the knife and kept harvesting the heads in front of him, bleeding all over the place. .
He suddenly turned his head. On that gloomy face, there was a face exactly like King Qin's.
"No!" Su Yan suddenly sat up from the bed, her clothes were soaked in cold sweat, and she felt exhausted as if she had been run over by a carriage.
"Senior sister, you are awake!"
Zhong Ning's surprised voice brought Su Yan's thoughts back from that dream to reality.
It was only then that Su Yan realized that she was lying on a simple bed in Ge Bazi Village for the doctors to rest temporarily. Chu Yan and Zhong Ning were standing beside the bed and looked at her in surprise. Su Yan could even clearly see Chu Yan's obvious looseness. Take a breath.
"You're awake." The worry in Chu Yan's eyes faded, and she sat on the edge of the bed and wiped the sweat from Su Yan's forehead with a handkerchief.
Su Yan immediately thought of Chang Sui, and hurriedly asked: "Where is Chang Sheng? How is Chang Sheng?"
Chu Yan said: "Don't worry, Changsheng's high fever has subsided, and now the body temperature is no different from that of ordinary people."
"The high fever has subsided?" Su Yan's eyes widened in disbelief. Because of the special nature of the plague, the best result of their previous treatment was to keep the patient in a low-grade fever state, and the fever had not completely subsided once.
"Senior sister, my brother-in-law is right." Zhong Ning nodded vigorously: "Changsheng's body temperature is indeed normal. My mother has already asked someone to take the medicine according to your prescription. My mother said to let someone try it first. , what if... what if it works?"
At a time when everyone had been disappointed countless times, Mrs. Zhong didn't even dare to say anything too sure.
"I'll go and have a look." Su Yan put on her shoes and went to the ground without thinking.
Zhong Ning stopped her and said, "Senior Sister, my mother said that you are too worried, so let you take a good rest for a day."
Chu Yan stopped Zhong Ning, he knew that even if they left Su Yanqiang in this room, her heart would not be at peace, so it would be better to let her go out to have a look, so that she could feel at ease.
Su Yan was moved by Chu Yan's thoughtfulness, after putting on the embroidered shoes, she gently took his hand, raised her head and smiled at him.
Chu Yan also stared at Su Yan intently, her smile was like the sunshine in March in the spring, which instantly dispelled the heaviness and worry in his heart.
It's been more than a year, but many times he still couldn't take his eyes off of Su Yan.
When Zhong Ning saw it, she just turned her head and pretended she didn't see it. There was nothing she could do. The two of them were tired and crooked all day long, and she was used to it.
The three of them put on their masks and went straight to the room where Changsheng was. Mrs. Zhong, Chen Yuanpan, Gu Fengyan, and Pei Shoucheng from the Royal Hospital were also there. Seeing Chu Yan and the others coming in, Chen Yuanpan and Pei Shoucheng immediately stood up and saluted.
Chu Yan raised his hand to signal that there is no need to be too polite, and Su Yan took advantage of this effort to run to the edge of the kang and touched Chang Sheng's forehead, it was indeed not hot anymore.
Chen Yuanju changed his previous contempt for Su Yan, and he was full of praise for Su Yan's prescription: "Master Le'an County, how did you come up with this prescription? The old man just read it. It's wonderful, it is indeed true. Wonderful!"
"It's nothing, I just filled in a residual square." Su Yan shook her head humbly.
Chen Yuanju admired Su Yan even more, and even regretted what he said to Su Yan and Mrs. Zhong before.
You must know that the remnant recipe is the most difficult to fill in, because there are already clear dosages of various medicinal materials on the remnant recipe, and it is easy to add medicinal materials to the recipe, but the dosage needs to be very precise. Generally, doctors would rather think of a prescription by themselves than to fill in other people's residual prescriptions.
Thinking like this, Chen Yuanjuan stood on the spot and bowed deeply to Su Yan: "I apologize to the county magistrate for what I said before, and I hope the county magistrate will not be too concerned."
Su Yan smiled, and only said lightly: "Chen Yuan judge doesn't have to be like this."
Su Yan admits that she has a little guts at this time, it's not that she deliberately wants to haggle over with Chen Yuanping, but what Chen Yuanping said at the beginning really made Su Yan grieve. In the past, Su Yan might have pretended to be more magnanimous, but maybe Chu Yan spoiled her too much, making Su Yan feel that she is just a woman, and there is no need to force herself to be ignorant.
Su Yan's attitude made Chen Yuanjuan a little embarrassed. He laughed dryly and wanted to find another topic to talk to Su Yan, but before he could think about it, Mrs. Zhong and Su Yan started talking He waited for a long time without interrupting the conversation, and in the end he found it too embarrassing and found an excuse to leave first, but Pei Shoucheng continued to brazenly follow behind a few people. Like a boy.
In fact, Pei Shoucheng didn't want to do this either, but these days his people can often see Chu Yan's people checking him out. You know, he has not been clean all these years, and Chu Yan is an imperial envoy sent by the emperor. If Chu Yan says something bad about him to the emperor, let alone his official position, it is hard to say whether his head is still alive or not! He has tried to bribe Chu Yan, but he is not good at it! So where did he dare to offend Chu Yan, he almost wished to confess him as his ancestor, and only hoped that he would show mercy.
Mrs. Zhong said: "I saw this prescription. It is a good prescription. It's just that Changsheng is weak and the medicine is too strong, so something went wrong. I asked people to boil the medicine for the patients according to the prescription. I reduced the dosage by half and gave it to the children, and the fever has subsided, and they are all in good condition, so this prescription may really work.”
A gleam of joy appeared on Su Yan's face: "Well, let's try it first." Regardless of whether this prescription can cure the plague, at least through this prescription, Su Yan saw hope.
According to Su Yan's prescription, Mrs. Zhong prescribed another prescription for the patient to take together according to Su Yan's prescription. The imperial hospital was not idle, and the court judge took the prescription written by Su Yan back. According to Su Yan's prescription, the people in the Royal Hospital also wrote a lot of prescriptions. After three days, patients with milder symptoms can obviously improve.
The most important thing is that within the entire isolation area, except for more than 20 people who died due to untimely medical treatment on the first day, no one died in two full days.
The atmosphere in the entire isolation area was suddenly different. Everyone was full of energy, as if they had seen the day when the plague was defeated.
But things were far from as good as people imagined. On the third night, Su Yan's door was knocked open suddenly.
Zhong Ning panicked: "Senior Sister! It's not good! The news just came that the condition of those patients suddenly got worse!"
