The woman left.
Li Zhen never knew that there was a man who had never appeared in his field of vision.
The origin of this Taoist temple is extremely mysterious, and the people here are also extremely mysterious.
But Li Zhen couldn't care less about her identity, he just had a strong and urgent desire to know how to see Zhang Zhi.
The way to keep the note is actually very simple - do something meaningful.
Li Zhen doesn’t know who he wants to show to when he does meaningful things? Does it mean that if a person does something meaningful, he will receive God's mercy? Will all your wishes come true
Maybe not.
This involves metaphysics. But Li Zhen has never believed in metaphysics.
After getting up and getting dressed, Li Zhen felt dizzy as soon as he stood up. I yawned and dozed off for a while.
"Do I have all the symptoms of pneumonia she mentioned now?"
"Drowsiness, fatigue, coughing up blood."
"She said my disease can't be cured. Does that mean my life is short?"
“…”
Li Zhen murmured, drank the last bowl of medicine, and walked out of the Taoist temple dragging his weak body tortured by the disease. He needs to return to Dongzhou and return to his post.
In this deep mountain and old forest, maybe no one will ever find me.
'cough cough cough'
There was a violent cough, and Li Zhen, who was walking among the mountains and forests, felt like the world was spinning and in great pain.
He had the courage to face death.
But I don’t want to die so silently.
Li Zhen is not afraid of death, but he wants to know how much life he has left. Is there any way to extend his life? This allows you to do more meaningful things. As long as you live long enough, you can do more.
"Where is this?"
Standing in the dense forest, Li Zhen saw that the sky was starting to get dark, and the sounds of jackals, tigers and leopards were all around him. I was a little scared in my heart.
Being buried in the mouth of a wild beast would be the most miserable way to die. Might as well be drowned.
"Where is this mountain? Is there not even a village?"
Li Zhen walked quickly in the direction he had determined, while constantly looking around in fear. A giant insect with a hanging forehead and white eyes might jump out of any bush.
I don't know how long he walked forward, but Li Zhen coughed again. The pain in his trachea was like exploding, and he vomited out another mouthful of blood.
"I can't go any further, I need to rest."
Li Zhen looked around, took a deep breath, and began to climb up a waist-thick tree next to him.
To sleep in the jungle, you must sleep on a tree. Sleeping on the ground is courting death. Not to mention a wild beast, even a dog might get very hungry and eat you.
Li Zhen had never felt that he was so powerless. He could not climb up a tree after climbing for half an hour. Both arms had no strength at all. With the continuous coughing, the body continued to become weak, and the eyes continued to turn black.
Coughing up too much blood.
"ah!"
He gritted his teeth and climbed up the tree with all his strength.
An hour later, he finally reached the branch and had no strength to climb up anymore. As soon as my head felt wet, I fell asleep hugging a tree branch.
A long lost scene.
"As expected, we can still meet."
In the dream, there was still the familiar full moon, surrounded by darkness.
Li Zhen looked at Zhang Zhi in front of him and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why do I think you are so weak?"
Zhang Zhi touched Li Zhen's pale face.
Li Zhen sighed: "I fell into a coma and was rescued. A mysterious woman..."
Zhang Zhi's expression suddenly changed: "How mysterious?"
Li Zhen told the story of his past two days, Zhang Zhi exclaimed: "I also met an equally mysterious old man."
"How mysterious?"
“…”
The two looked at each other speechlessly, with chills in their hearts. What is the story behind this
"What is meaningful?"
Li Zhen murmured. This proposition is a bit too broad, so broad that you can't even find an example. There is no specific indication, nor any straightforward explanation.
Very abstract.
Zhang Zhi also held his chin in thought, and the two of them were silent for a while.
Maybe this problem is not something they can think about now.
"What's wrong with you?"
"The woman said it was pneumonia."
"pneumonia!"
Zhang Zhi exclaimed, looking at Li Zhen carefully up and down, his eyes full of horror.
Li Zhen's expression was dull: "Is it a serious disease?"
"In our time, go forward a hundred years. This disease is terminal."
Li Zhen smiled bitterly: "That woman also told me. My disease cannot be cured, so she prescribed some plant medicine for me, which I can only consume."
After speaking, Li Zhen quickly changed his subject: "It was a terminal disease a hundred years ago? Does that mean that it can be treated now?"
Zhang Zhi nodded: "But it's still difficult where you are..."
Zhang Zhi touched Li Zhen's face and said with red eyes: "Penicillin is needed to treat pneumonia. Is it available in Kyushu?"
"What is penicillin?"
"Penicillin. A super antibiotic that can treat pneumonia, tuberculosis, sepsis, and traumatic ulcers."
Li Zhen asked anxiously: "Can you tell me the formula of penicillin? I have to live longer. By the way, if my pneumonia is not cured, how long can I live?"
"have no idea… "
Zhang Zhi shook his head a little irritably: "The formula for penicillin, there is no formula for penicillin. I remember learning in school that penicillin is a mold accidentally discovered by a scientist. After decades and successive studies by generations of scientists around the world, It was finally applied clinically. After the advent of penicillin, tens of millions of lives were saved in one year."
"What kind of medicine is this!"
Li Zhen exclaimed; "Can tens of millions of people be saved a year?"
"Yes. The most powerful effect of penicillin is its strong resistance to bacterial infections. If you say that people in your time really rarely get sick. That's just because there are no internal diseases, maybe related to radiation. But it is It is absolutely impossible to resist bacterial infection. If a trauma is not treated in time, the wound will become inflamed and ulcerated, and death will occur in a few days."
Li Zhen nodded: "This is correct. During the war, not many people actually died on the battlefield. Many died after being injured in a few days. The proportion of people who died after the war was Eighty percent."
"It's a bacterial infection. And penicillin is for bacterial infection, and it's for your pneumonia."
Li Zhen looked at Zhang Zhi and said urgently: "Tell me the formula of penicillin. The Kyushu Academy of Sciences will develop such a drug. I need to live a few more years. The world also needs such a drug."
Zhang Zhi just said: "I'll go back and check it for you. I'll tell you tomorrow."
"good."
The dream is over.
But Zhang Zhi became worried. She naturally knew the horror of pneumonia. It only takes a short time to kill someone. In the era without penicillin, this was an absolute terminal disease.
She was very afraid that Li Zhen's life would not last until penicillin was developed. She didn't know what the level of the Kyushu Academy of Sciences was.
Is there any chemistry
Are there any living things
Is there bacteriology
