Looking through it from top to bottom, in addition to some of the symptoms described in the letters, there are a few prescriptions that doctors in epidemic areas have prescribed temporarily.
Although the prescription may not necessarily be useful, she can guess a thing or two from the medicinal materials used by the doctors.
The first few herbs in the prescription are all herbs that clear away heat and detoxify.
But then, at the end, a medicine called Bone Changing Flower was added.
According to all the records in the Qingzheng Pu, this medicine is not commonly used, but it is a prescription for relaxing the muscles and activating the collaterals. The medicine called Ximui Powder is commonly used.
It's obviously here to treat the plague, so why do you use drugs to relax your muscles and activate your muscles
In addition to bone-changing flowers, there are several medicinal materials later, which are only used to promote wound healing after bone injuries.
According to the news recorded in this letter, the epidemic is coming fiercely and the mortality rate is extremely high.
Could it be said that this disease can break people's bones
This is a bit too strange!
Long Tianyu looked at Lin Mengya and fell into deep thought, knowing that she must have seen something.
He didn't bother her, he just sat silently next to her and waited quietly.
After a long time, Lin Mengya breathed out a sigh of relief, sorted out the letter and prescription, and gave them back to Long Tianyu.
"What can you see?"
Long Tianyu took the letter and flipped it over again. He knew nothing about these things, so naturally he couldn't help Lin Mengya.
"This disease comes very strangely. Look at this recipe, there is nothing special about it at the beginning, but the medicines at the back are very strange. I have something I want to ask you."
Lin Mengya sat up from Long Tianyu's arms, looked at him very seriously, and said.
Nodding, looking at her being so serious, Long Tianyu also knew that things seemed to be more difficult than he imagined.
"If you martial arts practitioners wanted to break all the bones in a person's body, how long would it take?"
These words made Long Tianyu confused.
But since Lin Mengya asked the question, he had to think seriously for a while before answering:
"I heard that there is a kind of martial arts called the Powerful Vajra Palm. If it is practiced to a high level, it only takes one palm to break all the muscles and bones of a person's body. However, I have never seen it. If it were me, at least, it would be A quarter of an hour."
Since it was Long Tianyu who said it, Lin Mengya naturally believed it.
Although Lin Mengya didn't understand Long Tianyu's martial arts skills, Qinghu had said that if he were to fight Long Tianyu seriously, he could only manage about ten moves under Long Tianyu's hands.
But who is Qinghu? He is the master of Taohuawu who was once feared in the world. Such masters have already surpassed the limits of ordinary people.
It would take a quarter of an hour for such a person to break all the bones in a person's body. If it were an ordinary person, it would probably take longer to break a bone.
However, almost all the patients in the letter will die in a very strange state after getting sick.
All parts of the body seemed to be folding in opposite directions at the same time.
Even fragments of organs will be spit out from the mouth.
You must know that human internal organs are usually protected by strong ribcage bones and thick muscles.
Now it seems that the reason why they spit out organ fragments is probably because the bones in the chest have been displaced.
In this case, the bones and muscles that originally protected the functions of the organs have become the culprits of oppressing the organs.
Moreover, the prescription showed that medicinal materials such as bone-changing flowers were given a heavy weight.
Therefore, the entire prescription looks more like a medicine used to treat fractures than a treatment for plague.
Could it be said that in the early stages of the patient's illness, this terrible situation has already occurred
After smoothing out her thoughts, Lin Mengya subconsciously tucked her broken hair behind her ears, and then explained her doubts to Long Tianyu in a low voice.
"According to the description in the letter and the medicine used by the doctors, I suspect that this plague should target the bones of the human body. But because the bones of the human body are very hard, nothing should be found in the early stage. Most people will have it. When you have back pain, maybe you don’t even think that it’s a sign of disease or infection.”
Lin Mengya thought a lot, so she and Long Tianyu could only pick up some things that they could be sure of.
"However, in the later stages of the disease, because the disease has not been effectively prevented and treated, by the time the patient realizes it, the virus has already lurked in the human bones. In just a few days, the patient's bones will There will be varying degrees of reversal. So that in the end, the patient will have the weird posture described in the letter, with the whole body curled up into a ball, but the limbs are in opposite directions. Initially, I analyzed it like this, but when I arrived in the epidemic area, I I want to dissect the corpse myself and see what’s going on.”
Long Tianyu's dark brows furrowed. Lin Mengya analyzed so many things from the letter and the prescription that he had never noticed before.
If you go to an epidemic area, it will definitely be of great benefit.
However, in terms of dissection—
"It's better to let others come, and you can just watch from the side. There are hundreds of thousands of people in Yunzhou, and now there are very few left. Your safety is naturally the first priority."
Lin Mengya naturally knew that this was Long Tianyu's good intention. After all, corpses are also extremely effective means of transmission.
However, the ancient manipulation techniques were ultimately inconsistent with the modern anatomy she had learned.
Her small hand covered Long Tianyu's slightly nervous big hand, and she softly comforted this man who was always nervous about her.
"I'm fine. As you know, my mother was the only direct disciple of the Great Elder of Baicao Pavilion. Therefore, when I was born, she gave me special medicine. I will have antibodies in my body against normal plagues. Also That is to say, I will not be infected. At this point, I am afraid that even your royal family will not treat me like this."
What Lin Mengya said was not a lie.
Modern people need to receive vaccinations from birth.
This method also allowed epidemic diseases such as smallpox to be effectively prevented and controlled.
However, Lin Mengya always felt something strange about this plague.
She is also well-read and has a medical degree. This was the first time she had seen this weird virus that could cause bone displacement throughout a person's body in just a few days.
Somehow, Lin Mengya always felt that this plague was not simple. This situation of skeletal reversal seems familiar.
In my head, violent recollections began.
Finally, Lin Mengya had a flash of inspiration and her eyes lit up.
Excitedly, he grabbed Long Tianyu's hand and said:
"Xiao Yi?! Xiao Yi?! Long Tianyu, do you still remember him?"
Seeing Lin Mengya's excited look, Long Tianyu couldn't help but feel a little strange.
Xiao Yi? Is he the ugly hunchback they saw in the inn
At that time, he was still a little concerned. So, I remember it clearly.
"Yes, I still remember. What? Do you think he has anything to do with this plague?"
After calming down the excitement in her heart, Lin Mengya nodded vigorously.
"He once said that he became like this because he was heavily addicted to drugs. At first, I checked his pulse. It was because the drugs had reversed the muscles in his body, so he became like this. However, That was what happened before, what if, after such a long time, this medicine has been perfected!"
Long Tianyu is naturally a smart man. Lin Mengya made such a point and his heart suddenly lit up.
According to Mengya's guess, maybe this plague is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster!
"Moreover, plague often occurs in densely populated places. You also said that this time, the first thing discovered was an unknown town. I think, if you send people to investigate, before the plague broke out in the town, A stranger must have been here. Or, it is very possible that this virus was used as a test site there. However, we are all just conjectures now, suffering from the lack of conclusive evidence."
The surprise just now gradually turned into a helpless failure.
Nowadays, the plague is rampant. Let alone that small town, Yunzhou, which is the most serious, is about to turn into a dead city.
Lin Mengya felt a little panicked in her heart, how innocent the civilians were, to be involved in this struggle for power, and to risk the lives of a whole family.
"There will be. If this is the case, we still have to return to the capital first. If it is really intentional, I am afraid that my father will encounter difficult problems."
Lin Mengya analyzed a lot, and Long Tianyu thought even more.
Yunzhou is where the Long family made its fortune. Even now, there are many aristocratic families originating from Yunzhou.
If it is true as Lin Mengya said, this plague started from a man-made disaster. I am afraid that not only Yunzhou but also the surrounding people will be in panic.
Some powerful families may be uprooted.
As a result, I am afraid that Dajin will usher in a turmoil.
Therefore, he must report these things to his father to prevent the country from being unstable.
"Okay, by the way, I don't know how bad Bai Shao's injury is. We must take her back together. Also, when we return, let's take a look at Xiao Yi. If he is still there, we Take him with you too. If it’s really like I guess, Xiao Yi? I’m afraid it’s the key to unlocking this catastrophe.”
There was a bit of worry in Lin Mengya's watery eyes.
Yu's hands subconsciously grabbed the quilt cover, which was really upsetting one after another.
In the constantly swaying carriage carriage, two people had their own thoughts, their brows were furrowed, and their eyes had different complexities.
Outside the car, the night was as dark as ink, and a crescent moon was covered by layers of dark clouds at some point.
Darkness shrouds this world.
