Chapter 5: The Great Plague

Early the next morning, Li Hao heard a burst of footsteps outside the door for a while, and a burst of footsteps for a while, which ended his idea of sleeping lazy, after coming to this world, he almost never slept well, and was woken up by the master with a rattan before dawn every day, and then punched, and now he finally wanted to sleep lazy, but was disturbed by the endless footsteps outside the door.

"They must have done it on purpose!" Li Hao got up with a huff, pushed open the door and saw that there were just two people trotting all the way to the west, Li Hao rolled his eyes angrily, and asked, "If you don't sleep well at home early in the morning, what are you running, exercising or walking!" ”

One of them is Wang Dahei, as soon as he saw Li Hao, he said with a solemn face: "Something is wrong, I heard that Hu Laohan's youngest son Xiaohai is sick and can't get out of bed, and the imperial doctor sent by the imperial court has locked him up and is treating him sick!" It is very likely to be a plague! ”

Li Hao was taken aback when he heard this, and then asked puzzledly: "Then what are you going to do?" ”

"Let's go see the excitement!" Wang Dahei looked at Li Hao with a natural expression, and looked at Li Hao with the eyes of a pen.

Li Hao's expression instantly became very exciting, someone was infected with the plague, they actually went to see the excitement, they didn't die fast enough, who is Sa Bi, he can finally understand why people in the future world like to watch the excitement so much, it turns out that this is a fine tradition passed down from the ancestors.

Just when Li Hao was stunned, Wang Dahei and another person had already run away, looking at their backs, Li Hao sighed helplessly: "It's really not a big deal to see the excitement, dare to watch the excitement of the plague, a group of crazy people." After saying that, he closed the door, threw himself on the bed and continued to sleep.

After a while, I heard a jumble of footsteps passing through the door again, this time loud and loud, and there seemed to be dozens of people, but in the opposite direction from before, from west to east.

Then I heard someone shouting: "You all want to die, tell you, from now on, no one is allowed to leave within a foot of their house, and if anyone violates it, he will be punished with thirty rods!" ”

Li Hao got up and came to the door, looked out through the crack in the door, and saw a group of officials with knives not far away were driving the villagers home, and the sound was fierce, after driving the villagers, there were a few soldiers wearing military uniforms and holding long soldiers patrolling back and forth on the road, so scared that those villagers did not dare to go out.

"Alas......" Li Hao sighed lightly, returned to the grass shop to do it, and groaned secretly, "I have memorized the information of the plague, but there are many kinds of plagues, and I don't know which kind of plague this time is, if it is smallpox or the Black Death, I have a cure, hey, by the way, if I can cure the plague, will the court give me a reward!" ”

Thinking of the reward, Li Hao suddenly came to the spirit, came to the Tang Dynasty for four years, and spent four years of hard life in the mountains, as a traverser carrying countless high-end technologies, how can he be willing to face the loess every day and farm with his back to the sky, he is a layman, but he is not a worldly master, no matter which world he goes to, money is the most important.

But he suddenly thought of a problem, that is, his own identity, Zhiyuan Zhenren once warned him, if he went down the mountain one day, he couldn't mention the four words Zhiyuan Zhenren, and he couldn't mention Jingyunguan, he had to fabricate a fake identity, Li Hao once asked him why, Zhiyuan Zhenren just refused to tell him, just said that it was for his good.

Zhiyuan Zhenren was very serious when he said this to him, Li Hao didn't dare to slack off, slowly weaving his identity in his heart, thinking for a long time, and finally thinking of an identity that was not easy to be debunked, got up and patted his robe, opened the door and walked out.

Li Hao stepped out of the door with one foot, and saw a Xueliang Tang knife suddenly waving, pointing at the tip of his nose, holding the knife was a burly middle-aged soldier, only to see him staring at Li Hao with a pair of bull's eyes, and asked sharply: "What is going out?" ”

Li Hao was taken aback by his knife swing, but then reacted, piled up his signature smile, stretched out his orchid finger to pull away the Tang knife, and said with a smile: "Official, I am actually a Langzhong." ”

"Lang Zhong?" The soldier looked him up and down and asked suspiciously, "Since you are Langzhong, why are you wearing a Taoist robe?" ”

Li Hao waved his hand with a hippie smile: "Don't care about these details. ”

The soldier pointed a knife at his nose again and asked coldly, "Then what should I care about?" ”

Li Hao blinked quickly: "For example...... I will cure the plague. ”

"What?" The soldier was shocked when he heard this, and the shock did not matter, and the hand holding the knife also shook.

Li Hao jumped back in fright, roaring and shouting: "! You scared Lao Tzu, you almost didn't cut off Lao Tzu's nose! ”

The soldier didn't care about these details at all, and glared at him excitedly: "You really know how to cure the plague?" ”

Li Hao raised his head slightly, made a superior demeanor, and pretended to be full of compulsion and said: "There are many kinds of plagues, I dare not say that they can cure all plagues, but I still have some confidence in several of them." ”

The soldier was excited when he heard this, but he quickly calmed down, and looked at Li Hao suspiciously, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, his hair has not yet grown, how he doesn't look like a langzhong, let alone treating the plague, the more he looks at it, the more he feels that Li Hao looks like a liar, and frowned: "Do you know that this plague is not trivial, the plague was found in many states in Henan Province at the same time, and even His Majesty the Emperor personally issued an edict that if the state and county assassins could not control the epidemic, they would all be dismissed." ”

"Oh." Li Hao blinked quickly, very simple and ignorant, pretending not to know what he meant by this, but in fact, he was like a mirror in his heart, this thing was forcing himself to make a military order.

Seeing that he was not enlightened, the soldier reminded: "If you can't cure the plague, then what? ”

Li Hao spread his hands: "If it can't be cured, it can't be cured." ”

The soldier was stunned when he heard this, this is not according to the routine, according to common sense, he should not pat his chest and say: "If it is not cured, I am willing to accept any punishment!" ”

The soldier looked at him with a sneer and said, "How can there be such a cheap thing, the plague is a big deal, you should be a child messing around?" ”

"Oh." Li Hao nodded, and suddenly exclaimed, "Ah, why am I here, am I not sleeping, ah, it must be my sleepwalking syndrome again, hey, this military master, you are so burly, hey, why are you pointing a knife at me, alas, I'm so sleepy, I'd better go back and continue to sleep." After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave.

"Stop!" The soldier was so angry that he trembled, he had lived for so many years, and it was the first time he had seen such a shameless bastard, just open his eyes and talk nonsense, did he think that others had no brains!

Li Hao turned his head and looked at the soldier blankly, deliberately looked left and right, there was no one else, and then pointed to the tip of his nose: "You called me?" ”

It's too good, it's really too good, the soldier really wants to pump him, and Li Hao's current movements and expressions are also very poor, but fortunately, the soldier held back, and asked in a stiff tone: "What's your name?" ”

Li Hao asked rhetorically: "What do you call a strong man?" ”

The soldier said in a loud voice: "A certain is Xu Zhou Zhichong Wei Yousige, from the nine grades to Germany with a halberd, Wang Yuantai, now you can tell me what your name is." ”

"What a name!" Li Hao casually praised it, people's names are so long, don't compare with him, let's be short and concise, "Under Li Hao." ”

"Li Hao?" Wang Yuantai endured his temper and slowly spoke, "I'll ask you one last time, you said that you can cure the plague, didn't you just talk about it?" ”

Li Hao rarely showed a serious look, nodded and said: "I can treat the plague, but there are many kinds of plagues, I can only treat two of them, first of all, I want to know what kind of epidemic this plague is." ”

Wang Yuantai nodded thoughtfully: "Then if I take you to see the infected person, will you be able to know what the epidemic is?" ”

Li Hao thought about it, and felt that this matter was not very reliable, after all, he had never diagnosed anyone, although he had learned some medical skills from Zhiyuan Zhenren over the years, but he had just started, and it was okay to diagnose a headache, brain fever, typhoid fever or something, and wanted to diagnose the plague...... Hehe.

But it's not impossible, he won't diagnose the plague himself, so ask other doctors, now that there is an epidemic in their village, the imperial court will definitely send the imperial doctor and the famous doctor over.

So Li Hao asked Wang Yuantai: "Did the imperial court send a doctor to the village?" ”

Wang Yuantai nodded: "I arrived last night, and a doctor and a Lang Zhong who opened a medical hall in Chang'an came. ”

Li Hao asked again: "Did they bring medicinal herbs?" ”

"Brought a little." Wang Yuantai thought for a while, and added, "Medicinal materials are not a problem, just now Imperial Doctor Liu has ordered someone to go to the county government to report the news, I believe that a large number of medicinal materials will be sent soon." ”

Li Hao nodded and said: "Wang Zhuangshi, in fact, I won't tell you that the medical skills in Xia are very shallow, but I have an adventure in Xia and got a prescription for treating the plague, this recipe boy has personally tried it, and it is indeed effective, so now please ask that Dr. Liu, what kind of plague is this plague." ”

"It's Imperial Physician, Imperial Physician Liu! Not Dr. Liu! Wang Yuantai made a correction.

"Isn't the imperial doctor a doctor, don't care about these details, are you going to ask?"

Wang Yuantai looked at him suspiciously for a moment, and finally decided to gamble, and said: "I'll ask, don't run around!" After saying that, he turned around and ran away without a trace.

Li Hao waited quietly in the same place, and after about half a pillar of incense, Wang Yuantai ran back as quickly as a galloping horse, and shouted from a long distance: "Yes...... It's the plague! ”

"Plague!" Li Hao's eyelids jumped when he heard this, and the plague information he had seen in his mind quickly flipped through, and he soon found the information about the plague.

"Plague", also known as the Black Death, is a virulent infectious disease caused by Yersinia pestis, and the clinical manifestations are mainly fever, severe toxemia symptoms, bleeding tendency, lymphadenopathy or pneumonia. The plague has had many pandemics and deaths in the history of the world, and was once one of the most serious infectious diseases that affected mankind.

Plague and smallpox were the most common plagues in ancient times, but the contagiousness and horror of plague were far higher than smallpox, and the cure rate was surprisingly low.

Li Hao was surprised and regained his composure, because he really had prescriptions for treating plague in his mind, these prescriptions were the crystallization of the Ming and Qing dynasties, you know, the development of traditional Chinese medicine to the Ming and Qing dynasties has been very prosperous, many diseases that were previously judged to be mortal have the possibility of cure, among which the plague is a subject that must be studied by the cutting-edge doctors of the past dynasties, during the Ming and Qing dynasties, there have been several prescriptions to restrain the plague, but the cure rate is not high, until the twentieth century, smallpox was overcome by vaccinia vaccination, and then, There are many traditional Chinese medicine practitioners who have perfected the prescriptions of the Qing Dynasty with the help of high technology, and finally developed a decoction that has a cure rate of nearly ten percent for patients in the early stage of the plague, and even for patients who are very seriously ill, there is also a cure rate of fifty percent.

When Wang Yuantai walked in front of him, Li Hao just wanted to say that he had a prescription to restrain the plague, and Wang Yuantai said eagerly: "It's terrible, the eldest son of the Hu family has also contracted the plague, and now the two brothers are locked up, just in case, Imperial Doctor Liu has separated Hu Cunzheng and his wife." ”

"What!" Li Hao was surprised when he heard this, it seems that this epidemic is menacing, if he doesn't make a move, the consequences will be unimaginable, as soon as he thinks of this, he hurriedly said to Wang Yuantai, "You hurry up and find me a pen and paper, I want to write a prescription, my prescription can definitely cure the plague." ”

"Good!" Wang Yuantai answered, turned around and hurried away, and quickly took the pen and paper.

Li Hao lifted the brush and wrote the prescription crookedly on the paper, although Wang Yuantai on the side was not literate, but he could see that Li Hao's words were too bad, he had never seen such ugly words, and he instantly felt bottomless in his heart, when Li Hao handed the prescription to him, he took it in his hand with a strange expression, and asked: "This thing can cure the plague?" ”

"Hmm." Li Hao nodded, looking very serious.

Wang Yuantai is still not at ease: "I don't read much, don't lie to me." ”

Li Hao raised his eyebrows, and suddenly grinned: "That's right, I just bullied you for not reading much, so I lied to you, since you saw through it, the prescription will return to me." As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed it.
