Zi'an continued, "But it's true that I'm not as noble as you. I was not favored in the Xiangfu at that time. You know, I was bullied and always hurt. And when I was sick, no one hired a doctor for me. It just so happened that I had this opportunity to meet someone who knew medicine and was willing to teach me, so I learned it. However, when I first started learning medicine, I didn't think about how I would cure diseases and save lives in the future. I only thought about myself. But gradually, you feel that your medical skills can help people, so you regard this as your mission. I think that people must have their own things to do in this life, their own responsibilities and missions. For those who study medicine, curing diseases and saving lives is our mission."
Rouyao was fascinated by what she heard, and said in a daze: "In fact, I have always had a dream. I hope to open a clinic and become a doctor. However, I know that my family will not agree. For a young lady from a wealthy family, going out to show her face in public is immoral."
After she finished speaking, she smiled bitterly again, "However, if we can really leave here alive, I will definitely follow my wish and do what I want to do."
Whether they could leave alive was a question they had never dared to think about before.
Because the plague was ruthless, and Su Mu's infection made them feel uneasy, because they didn't know when it would be their turn.
Zi'an's prescription cannot completely prevent the disease. Even if there is only a one in a thousand chance of infection, it may be their turn.
Zi'an felt sad when he heard her say that.
"We'll be fine." Zi'an comforted her weakly, but even she herself felt that her words lacked confidence.
Rouyao breathed a sigh of relief. "Let's not talk about such a heavy topic. I'll go find Lingli. She also knows a little about medicine. Let her come and help. There is strength in numbers."
"Well, go ahead, and let Liu Liu come over as well." Zi'an said. Although Liu Liu knew nothing about medicine, she could still find some information.
Lingli and Liuliu were called over, and the four of them started a new round of search.
Zi'an discovered that Lingli read very quickly. She could read ten lines at a glance and turn the pages in an instant.
"Lingli, if you look at it so fast, might you not notice it?" Zi'an reminded.
Lingli said, "No, it's correct. Plague, Black Death. If there are any, I will definitely know these five words."
"Why are you reading so fast? Aren't your eyes tired?" Liu Liu asked.
"Not tired!" Lingli continued to turn the pages, and could even read while talking.
Zi'an felt that Lingli had a complicated background. Although she was the Night King's maid, he always felt that the way she spoke and did things was unfathomable.
"Go on, go on." Lingli saw that everyone was looking at her, so she patted the book and said.
The three of them lowered their heads and continued watching.
About half an hour later, Lingli suddenly slammed the book on the table and said, "I found it. The word plague is written here."
Everyone was delighted and immediately put down their books to look at Lingli.
Zi'an picked it up and found records of the plague.
It is written here that a plague broke out after a flood, rats and insects were rampant in the local area, and the people were infected with the plague. However, it only occurred in a small area and did not spread widely.
Of course, the reason there was no flood was because a miracle doctor came.
Wen Yi, she just happened to pass by there.
"No prescription? No treatment method?" Lingli turned to the last page and found that there was no prescription. She couldn't help but feel disappointed.
"Ah, really not?" Liu Liu took it and looked at it, also disappointedly said.
Zi'an said, "No, it's not that there is no record, but now that this one is finished, she will definitely record it in another one, so hurry up and find it."
The four of them searched again, and Liu Liu said, "Why didn't Doctor Wen Yi mark the book? Wouldn't it be better to divide it into one, two, three, and four? It would save us from searching for half a death."
Zi'an said: "Don't complain, hurry up and find the life-saving prescription."
She flipped through the pages quickly. This time it was much easier to find than before, at least she knew it must be in the first few pages.
"Found it, found it." Rouyao shook the book excitedly, and several heads gathered together.
However, after seeing what happened next, they were all disappointed.
There was a prescription in the book, but it was incomplete, and three of the herbs were eaten by insects.
All the books were well preserved, except this one, which was eaten by insects. It was really fate's trick.
The only good news is that the preventive prescription is the same as the one Zi'an came up with, and it also has appropriate therapeutic effects, but for a complete cure, you have to rely on the prescription that has been eaten away by worms.
"How could this happen? Isn't this a waste of effort?" Rouyao said disappointedly.
Zi'an looked at the medicines at the front of the prescription. Some of them were the same as her original prescription, and there were also four changes in the medicines. She took a look at these medicines and found that they were all for clearing heat and detoxifying, that is, none of them had anti-inflammatory effects.
In other words, these three medicines should be anti-inflammatory and antibacterial drugs.
What kind of medicine is it? Zi'an filtered out the antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs in traditional Chinese medicine.
She remembered that there was a Chinese patent medicine in modern times that was made up of several medicinal ingredients including honeysuckle, stemona, rhubarb, and isatis indigotica.
Among them, honeysuckle has a broad antibacterial spectrum and has inhibitory effects on Shigella dysenteriae, Salmonella typhi, Escherichia coli, Bordetella pertussis, Corynebacterium diphtheria, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus, Pneumococcus, etc. It also has anti-influenza virus effects. If Dr. Wen Yi uses medicine, he should use honeysuckle.
Zi'an wrote down honeysuckle as one of them.
There is also Houttuynia cordata, which is also known as a natural antibiotic in modern times and has a very good mycoplasmic effect.
She wrote it down temporarily, but there was still one thing left.
Rouyao held the book and said, "You wrote two medicines here, and there is one more. Zi'an, look here, there is a description below, saying that this golden key is the key and cannot be used. If it is not used, the anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effect cannot be achieved. Is this golden key gold or medicine? Do you want to throw the gold into the medicine and boil them together?"
Golden Key? Golden Key? Zi'an chewed on the name of this medicine. He had never heard of it before.
Could it be that it really is gold
Liu Liu asked in shock: "Can this gold be used as medicine? My grandmother has a lot of medicine."
Rouyao made her laugh, "Yes, your grandmother is very wealthy."
No one knew how wealthy Chen Taijun was, but she was a gentleman who earned money in a proper way, for example, by robbing her fellow thieves.
"Yes, my grandmother did medicinal materials business with others a few years ago, and now she is still the largest medicinal materials merchant in Da Zhou." Liu Liu said proudly.
"However, you know nothing about medicinal herbs." Rouyao was speechless.
"Well... my mind is on other things."
Zi'an heard Liu Liu say this and asked, "Your grandmother is a medicinal herb merchant? How come I didn't know that?"
"She doesn't take care of it much now. She leaves it to her subordinates to do it. She just collects the money."
Zi'an was very surprised. He really didn't expect that the old lady was still doing business.
I used to wonder why the Chen family was so rich, but I never saw anyone from the Chen family going out to do business.
It turned out that he was in the medicinal materials business.
"Yes, my grandmother has done a lot of business. She used to be a partner with the old man from the Hu family. But later, I don't know what happened, and the two of them stopped interacting."
