Chapter 61 Ways to Treat the Plague

"Miss Xie, you'd better go back first. I want to go to the suburbs. It's too dangerous for a woman to follow you. You'd better go back first." That place is so dangerous that he can't let Xie Zhiruo take risks with him.

"Doctor Li, don't say that. Zhiruo followed Dr. Li to see what's going on in the disaster area now. How can he go back because of danger?"

"Miss Xie, you'd better go back. There is still a long distance from here to the suburbs. You are a woman..."

Li Dongxu is afraid that if something happens, he can only write and can't do anything to protect her.

"Doctor Li, you don't have to persuade me anymore. Zhi Ruo must follow you outside to see the disaster victims there." If you can't even see the patient, why do you talk about treatment?

Seeing that Xie Zhiruo refused to persuade him, Li Dongxu was also very helpless. The two found a place to rent a carriage and wanted him to take them to the suburbs, but the man had heard that he had gone to the wild forest in the suburbs, and even shook his head to show that he would not go anyway.

"This eldest brother, please help me. We are the imperial doctors from the palace. We are here to help you see a doctor, but now we can't see the patient at all. Brother, you also think that everyone can get better." However, Xie Zhiruo only pretends to be an imperial doctor. Who can say that this identity is more convincing?

Hearing this, the big brother who was driving frowned in some embarrassment, but he was still scared when he thought of the danger there.

"Big brother, I'll give you twice as much money. Because we don't know the way, we need your guide. You don't have to get close to it. You just need to send us there and wait in a safe place."

If she wants to walk with Li Dongxu, she doesn't know when she will go, and neither of them knows the way.

"Okay, I'll take you to the suburbs. I'll wait for you there. Let's get in the bus." Perhaps attracted by Xie Zhiruo's price, the driver thought about it again and then the two of them got into the carriage.

Xie Zhiruo showed a successful smile to Li Dongxu, and Li Dongxu would also smile heartily.

"Doctor Li, let's take this with us when we get to the suburbs later." With that, Xie Zhiruo took out two things like masks from her burden and handed them to Li Dongxu.

Li Dongxu looked at the things in his hand curiously, looked at Xie Zhiruo and asked, "The girl may tell me, what is this?" Why does it look like the cloth used by those thieves to cover their faces?

"Well, I made this in my own house after I came to Zhenbei yesterday. I soaked this cloth with potion, and Buri also wrapped some herbs that I crushed." This thing can play the role of isolation and protection.

"Does the girl take this seriously? It's the first time I've seen this kind of thing. How did the girl come up with it? Sometimes he really admires Xie Zhiruo. I don't know why she can think of so many things in her mind, just like the house planted before. Now he has a lot of medicinal herbs that can be planted in the house. Even the medicinal herbs that could not be planted after summer before can be seen at this time.

"Uh... Zhi Ruo just saw it in a miscellaneous book, not what Zhi Ruo thought of..." Sometimes she just thought of something and wanted to make them, but she forgot that in this dynasty, the appearance of those things at this time would cause What kind of impact.

"That's the case, but it's good for you to make things, girl. I've been in medicine for so many years, but I've never thought of these things... I'm really ashamed..."

"If Zhi Ruo can think of something, maybe Dr. Li can't think of it, but there are also many things that Dr. Li thought of, but Zhi Ruo can't think of it. There are always a lot of things that people want to reveal. Dr. Li doesn't have to blame himself too much. Zhi Ruo is the one who admires Dr. Li for so many years of dedication to the study of medical skills..."

Li Dongxu was said by Xie Zhiruo, and two lovely blushes appeared on his face.

The two chatted like this and quickly came to the suburbs, the place that has been said to be the graves of living people since the outbreak of drought.

"You two, I can only send you here. If you go down, I won't leave." The coachman said to the two people in the car.

"Thank you very much, brother. This is the money for you. You wait for us here, and we will come back before dark." Xie Zhiruo gave the money to the driver with a smile.

"You two should be careful. If you get this disease, it will be deadly!" Before they left, the coachman kindly reminded them.

"Thank you."

The wind in the suburbs is bigger than in the city. Fortunately, Xie Zhiruo tied up her long hair so that her face would not be blown all over, but her clothes looked a little thin. There are only some medicinal herbs in her bag, and nothing else is brought.

"Woo-woo..." When the two of them first walked in the direction of the forest, it seemed to be close, and it seemed that the roar of the wolf came from a long distance.

Xie Zhiruo was a little weak by this roar. Whether in the last life or in this life, she has never seen a carnivorous animal like a wolf... If this is really met by them unlucky, wouldn't it be a dead end?

"Who are you? Where are you going?" Just as the two were about to continue to walk in, several men in uniform clothes came out of nowhere and blocked their way.

"We are the imperial doctors from the imperial city, and we came to this place to investigate the condition." Li Dongxu stood up and stopped Xie Zhiruo and said.

Several men looked at the two people doubtfully. They didn't believe their words too much, but it seemed that His Royal Highness had just arrived in the north of the town yesterday, and the entourage must have been accompanied by the imperial doctor. Maybe the two people in front of him were really the imperial doctors.

"Do you really want to go in? It's full of patients with plague, which is very dangerous. The guard can say so, thinking that he has recognized the identity of two people, which is a kind reminder to them.

"We don't want to go in, we just want to go to this place to find out what's going on now." If they go into the forest, it's really too risky. If they are really infected, the consequences are really unimaginable.

"Is there a doctor here?"

"Yes, since those people were locked in the forest, Dr. Xu has been living in the front room."

"Maybe you can take us there? We want to meet Dr. Xu. Xie Zhiruo felt that Dr. Xu must know more about the epidemic than others.

"Then come with us."

Xie Zhiruo and Li Dongxu followed several people to a small thatched hut some distance from the forest.

" Dr. Xu lives in it. Go in. We're going to guard the forest." Several people said and left.

"Li Dongxu, the imperial doctor of the imperial hospital, came to visit." Li Dongxu saluted the thatched hut.

After a long time, there was some movement in the thatched hut, and the door creaked open.

Standing at the door was a gray-haired old man. He looked at the two people standing in front of the door with some turbid triangular eyes and asked in a hoarse voice, "Who are you two? What are you doing here? Do you know what this place is?"

"Excuse me, is it Dr. Xu? We are from the imperial city."

"Are you from the Imperial City? Did you follow His Royal Highness to the disaster relief? Are you also a doctor?" Speaking of them as a person from the imperial city, Dr. Xu's turbid eyes lit up.

"Yes."

"So, how can there be a woman?" Dr. Xu looked at Xie Zhiruo, who was standing next to Li Dongxu, frowned and asked.

"Miss Xie is also on the next road."

Looking at Dr. Xu's unhappy eyes, Xie Zhiruo regretted why she didn't change into men's clothes today and then come out. Last night, Shen Yujuan asked someone to send her some clothes and skirts, but they were all women's clothes.

After Dr. Xu turned his eyes to Xie Zhiruo again, he let the two of them into the room.

The furnishings in the thatched hut are very simple. There is only a table that looks at the worms, and four chairs. There is a door in the room with a curtain. I think it should be a sleeping room inside.

"Are you here to understand the situation of the plague?" After Dr. Xu asked the two to sit down, he directly said the purpose of the two coming here.

"Yes, what we know before is only some relatively one-sided things. I think the reason why Dr. Xu lives here should have a certain in-depth understanding of this plague."

Speaking of this plague, Dr. Xu obviously sighed. It seemed that he was very helpless about this illness.

"Since the beginning of the plague, I have been thinking about how to cure this disease, but until now I still can't find a cure, and so many people have lost their lives..." He felt sad when he thought of his relatives and friends who died because of the plague.

"Don't worry, Dr. Xu, we will definitely come up with a cure." Although Xie Zhiruo comforted Dr. Xu so much, in fact, she was not sure.

"D. Xu may tell us what the situation was like when the plague first appeared?" This is the real purpose of their coming out today. He can't forget it.

Dr. Xu sighed again and slowly recalled what the situation was like at the beginning of the plague.

"At that time, I guessed that the drought happened not long ago. Gradually, I heard some people say that some people began to appear in some villages who were always feverish. At that time, I took the medicine box and went to those villages to see it. At that time, I was afraid that it was the plague, so I took a lot of precautions, so I was fine."

"At the beginning, were those patients like ordinary fever? Do you still cough or something?" She really never heard of such a disease in modern times.

Dr. Xu shook his head. No, it's just that the body keeps getting hot, and it often retreats and rises. Later, gradually some people died, and more and more people gradually got this disease. The patients I saw at the beginning, and I was not infected with this disease because I was well prepared..."

"That is, as long as it is well protected, it will not be infected?" If it's like this, can they come to the patient's side?

"You can also say that, but it is still dangerous."

"I may know why Dr. Xu lives in a house not far from the plague patients?" Since he knows that there is no medicine for the plague, why is he so close? Isn't he afraid of being infected?

Hearing Xie Zhiruo's question, Dr. Xu sighed slightly and didn't answer her question for a long time. Finally, when Xie Zhiruo thought he would not answer, he slowly said, "Since I learned about this disease, I began to think about what kind of medicine to use to cure the disease... A month ago, my wife and only son and daughter-in-law lost their lives because of the plague. At this point, Dr. Xu's voice was differently heavy, with a forbearable choking.

"Hey... I watched my dearest people being taken to the wild forest and waiting to die in it. That mood is not what ordinary people can understand... Since then, I have moved to this place, hoping to be with them. Although they have passed away, I also I'm looking for a medicine that can cure this disease... But even now, I still haven't found what kind of medicine can cure that disease..."

"D. Xu, if this plague is really so easy to cure, so many people will not die... You don't have to blame yourself too much." Xie Zhiruo can see that Dr. Xu and Li Dongxu are doctors who are dedicated to medicine. She admires people like them very much.

"D. Xu may take us to see the person who has the disease for the first time?" Li Dongxu's words made Dr. Xu's eyes shrugged, as if he couldn't believe his ears.

"Yes, Dr. Xu, we want to meet those patients."

"This..." Dr. Xu frowned in embarrassment. This kind of thing is just a matter. If something goes wrong with the imperial doctor from the imperial city... That's all... It's okay to take them to have a look...

"I can take you to see it, but you have to put on my clothes and protect it as I said." It's just that the patients who have just got the plague are not that serious, as long as they do a good job of protection.

"Thank you, Dr. Xu."

If it hadn't been for Dr. Xu, they wouldn't have known how to contact those patients...

"It's just...this girl..."

"Um, Dr. Xu, I'm going too! Don't worry, Zhiruo will never cause you any trouble!" Although Dr. Xu hadn't finished speaking, Xie Zhiruo knew what he wanted to say when he saw his expression. He quickly grabbed his words and answered, because she was also worried that Li Dongxu would also oppose her to follow him. At that time, she was afraid that she really couldn't go.

The clothes Dr. Xu put on for them should have been soaked in potion, because when he first took it out, she smelled a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine. In addition to the clothes, there was also a headpuff, which covered the whole head, leaving only the gap between the two eyes.

Looking at herself dressed like a person from the anti-virus unit, Xie Zhiruo couldn't help laughing. She also gave Dr. Xu the mask she was wearing, which added another layer of protective measures.

When Dr. Xu took her mask, he looked at her inconceivably. I didn't expect that this thing was made by a seemingly weak woman like her.

"The patient with a more serious condition is locked in the depths of the forest, and the patient who is still relatively mild is not far from the forest. Cao Li asked someone to build some grass huts inside, and the patients are all inside." Dr. Xu walked in front of him to guide the two.

Looking at the more and more desolate and empty suburbs, the forest that closed the patients was not far away in front of them. The autumn wind blew and blew the trees in the forest, which sounded terrible.

"D. Xu, you are here." The guards who took care of this area saw several people walking in and saying.

The guard's dress is the same as what they are wearing now. Maybe Dr. Xu often comes, so even if you can't see his face, you can know it's him. Otherwise, who else will come back at this time?

"Well, let's take a look at those patients today."

With that, Xie Zhiruo followed Dr. Xu into the forest.

The trees in the forest are not as much as they can be seen outside. From afar, you can see several simple thatched huts standing in the forest.

Dr. Xu came to the first room and skillfully pushed the door in.

The decoration in the room is similar to that of Dr. Xu outside the forest. There is only a table, two chairs and a bed in the room.

At this time, a woman was lying in the room with a headgear**. The reason why she knew that she was a woman was because Xie Zhiruo saw the bulging chest when she lay down.

When several people pushed the door and entered, their dry and closed eyes slowly opened and looked in the direction of the door.

"Xu, Dr. Xu?" The woman's voice was very hoarse, as if she hadn't drunk water for a long time.

"Hm, how do you feel today?" Dr. Xu went to the table, put the medicine box on his shoulder on the table, opened it, took out a pill and put it into the cup, and poured some water into it. After the pill melted, he walked to the bed and put the cup one meter away from the woman.

The woman has been watching Dr. Xu's movements. As soon as she put down the cup, she reached out and took the condom. She carefully took off the first cover and quickly drank the medicine in the condom.

"How do you feel today?"

"I had a fever again last night, but the fever subsided this morning."

"Is there anything else uncomfortable?"

"Uh... No, it's just that my body is repeatedly hot, and I feel that my brain is burned very uncomfortable..."

Dr. Xu did not approach the woman, but kept a certain distance from her.

"Excuse me, can I take her pulse for her?" Although she knew it was dangerous, she still wanted to do it. She wanted to know what the specific pulse of the patient was like.

"Um, if you are not afraid of the girl, I won't stop you. You can take this pill in the past. Although this pill has a certain effect on resisting the disease, the time is very short. Girl, you should hurry up." With that, Dr. Xu took out another pill from a porcelain bottle and handed it to Xie Zhiruo.

After Xie Zhiruo thanked her, she took the medicine and came to the woman's bed and held her breath to help her take her pulse.
