Chapter 357: Malaria is Saved!
A bowl of thick blue-yellow juice was slowly fed to the young man by Sun Simiao and the Imperial Doctor. The people from the hospital next to him continued to soak the artemisia annua in water, then wrecked out the liquid, took a bowl and put it next to it to prepare.
Xia Hongsheng was no longer worried this time, because this time he remembered it really, and he was sure that the artemisinin contained was actually Artemisia annua, not Artemisia annua, which was commonly used in medical books. I won't be mistaken this time, so if you drink the juice of this bowl of Artemisia annua, it will definitely have an effect.
As the time passed, the sky gradually darkened, and the floaters made a comeback, buzzing around non-stop. Xia Hongsheng found some hemp rope to split, tied up his trouser legs and sleeves, and awkwardly strangled the collar of his clothes around his neck, and the whole person looked very weird. There was no way to hide his face and hands, so Xia Hongsheng simply took some wormwood, lit it at the door of the house, and then fanned the cigarette into the house to disperse the floaters in the house. I have to say that the effect of wormwood is very good, and as soon as the smell spreads, the buzz in the air leaves and disappears. Xia Hongsheng repeatedly warned others to be careful not to be bitten by floaters, because there are still many people in the village who are infected with malaria, and they will also be infected after being bitten by any mosquito.
The old man made a meal and brought it over, and at a glance, he knew that it was from the village, but he didn't dare to go in, for fear of disturbing Sun Simiao and the others, so he hid at the door and looked in, looking nervously at his grandson on the bed. Sun Simiao called him to come in for dinner, but the old man waved his hand again and again and refused.
The three of them stayed there all the time, and the people brought by the Imperial Doctor would wring out some of the juice of the yellow artemisia every few hours and feed it to the young man. All night. Sun Simiao and the Imperial Physician ordered the two of them to take turns to check the young man's pulse. Xia Hongsheng was also staying with him.
The night passed. The sky gradually brightened again, and the Imperial Physician Ling sat on the edge of the bed again, and put his hand on the young man's wrist. ”
The two looked over, and saw that the imperial doctor Ling changed his hand again in surprise, gave the young man a pulse again, and then raised his head suddenly with a face full of surprise. Said: "Recovered! The pulse is improving! Artemisia annua really works! ”
When Sun Simiao heard this, he immediately strode over, pinched the young man's wrist, carefully checked the first pulse, and his face suddenly showed ecstasy, and suddenly turned around, walked to Xia Hongsheng, stared at Xia Hongsheng tightly, and then bent down deeply all of a sudden: "Xiahou's method is really effective, and this sub-pulse has stabilized." Breathe calmly, and the heat and cold fade away. I didn't expect it. Artemisia annua, which can be found everywhere on the roadside, can have a miraculous effect on malaria! The people of the world have suffered from malaria for a long time, if it were not for Xiahou Gaoyi, who did not hide it for his own selfishness, I am afraid that I don't know how many people in the world would die of malaria! Xiahou's merits are immeasurable, and the poor road is for the people of the world, thank Xiahou for his kindness! ”
Seeing Sun Simiao like this, the Imperial Physician Ling and the surrounding medical officers all bent down and respectfully thanked Xia Hongsheng.
"Hey, Daochang Sun, Master He, what are you ......" Xia Hongsheng hurriedly went to help Sun Simiao, but Sun Simiao insisted on giving courtesy to Xia Hongsheng.
Xia Hongsheng pulled this and helped that, but everyone straightened up, and gave a long salute, and then they all straightened up. "This, Daochang Sun, Master He, I can't afford it!" Xia Hongsheng shook his head and said.
"Xiahou, you don't know the situation, if you know the situation, you will understand why Daochang Sun and I are so ecstatic." Imperial Physician Ling sighed and said, "Don't say it's just a salute, even if you ask me to kneel down and beg Xiahou for mercy, it's also willing!" Xiahou, do you know how many people die from malaria every year? If malaria does not give birth, if it does, it will spread, and once it spreads, it will eventually kill seven or eight out of ten. Now that the yellow artemisia has a curative effect, how can I not wait to be excited and ecstatic! ”
"Now, we should go and get the yellow artemisia again, so that all the people in the village who have malaria will take it!" Sun Simiao said on the side: "Since Xiahou is right about the medicine, he wants to use floaters to infect him, and the method of driving away floaters and preventing malaria should also be right." Lord He, stay behind the poor road, use the remaining things to save people, Lord He and Xiahou go back and make arrangements quickly! ”
Taiyi Ling thought for a while: "It's okay! ”
Xia Hongsheng also nodded, without further ado, the two quickly left the village, got into the carriage and rushed to Chang'an City. The Artemisia annua in the Tai Hospital is limited, so people from the Tai Hospital can only be sent to pick it immediately. Luckily, it's not hard to find, and it should be able to keep up.
The carriage galloped all the way, and the two went back to the Tai Hospital, and the Tai Yi Ling immediately ordered all the attendants in the Tai Hospital to go out of the city to dig the yellow artemisia, and then all the remaining yellow artemisia in the Tai Hospital were loaded into the carriage and immediately sent to the village.
"Quick, find a carriage, quickly fill it with wormwood, and send it too!" The Imperial Physician ordered the people around him to hurriedly carry things.
Xia Hongsheng scratched his head on the side, he originally wanted to take the two of them to the palace to ask Li Shimin for patent protection, but he never thought that there would be such a thing. However, fortunately, it was a whim who remembered the news about artemisinin and the Nobel Prize that he saw in later generations, so he remembered Artemisia annua. This is a good thing, malaria was no less powerful than a terminal disease in ancient times, and if it can spread the treatment and prevention of malaria, it will also do a good thing for the people of the world.
Thinking of this, Xia Hongsheng was also very happy in his heart, and also helped to arrange it together, and prepared to send the farmers on his own Zhuangzi to dig up the yellow artemisia, and then send it to the Tai Hospital for the treatment of malaria in the future. After all, the hospital has limited manpower, and the time for the appearance of Artemisia annua is also limited.
"Xiahou, this alone is enough to make Xiahou famous for centuries and famous!" Taiyi Ling looked at the busy people in the courtyard, walked to Xia Hongsheng's side, and said to Xia Hongsheng with emotion: "Xiahou's method today will save too many lives in the future, and at this time, the people, because of Xiahou's method, can no longer be afraid of malaria, can no longer suffer from malaria, and this is all due to Xiahou's credit!" I will definitely report this matter to the Holy Hearing, so that the world will remember Xiahou's kindness! ”
"Lord He, you and I have known each other for a long time, and you should know that I have repeatedly persuaded Your Majesty to keep the unique technology of Datang confidential, and I want to go with you two to apply for a patent to Your Majesty, also to protect my unique skills and things. But only in terms of medical skills, I don't agree with the concealment of secrets. I've always believed that medicine is different from everything else. Medicine is a living thing, a work of conscience. This time, I want to ask Your Majesty to establish a law for patent protection, which is also to encourage people to dare to take out all the things that they have hidden before, and this naturally includes those prescriptions. I hope that Mrs. He can work together to promote this patent protection method, so that the hard work of people all over the world can be protected, and people can take out their private skills without worries. ”
"Xiahou rest assured, I will do my best to support Xiahou in this matter." Imperial Physician Ling nodded and solemnly promised Xia Hongsheng.
When the carriage was full, the two of them ran out of Chang'an City again and returned to the mountain village. As soon as the two arrived, Sun Simiao immediately greeted him with joy on his face, saying that the young man would no longer be in danger of life, and he only needed to take it a few more times, and he would be able to return to normal after a few days. The old man next to Sun Simiao knelt down and kept kowtowing to the two, but he couldn't pull them up.
"This old man, you must not do this again, but go and make a room for freeing up, so that all the people in the village who have malaria can be gathered, so that we can rescue them." Xia Hongsheng saw that the old man refused to get up from the ground, so he said: "This matter must be grasped immediately, and it must not be delayed." ”
When the old man heard this, he kowtowed his head again, then quickly stood up and said, "The old man is going!" The old man is going! There are three miracle doctors here, and the people in this village are saved! ”
"Xiahou, you said that malaria would not have been transmitted among people, it was all because of this floater that it bit different people, so that malaria was spread. I wonder what is the case for this? Sun Simiao is generous and benevolent, but when it comes to medicine, he is very rigorous and meticulous, so he asked: "How did Xiahou know that it was the malaria spread by this floater?" ”
"Sun Daochang, I don't know if you have found it, but what are the common characteristics of all the epidemic areas where malaria is rampant? It is mosquitoes, and everywhere where malaria is rampant, there is a common characteristic, that is, there are swarms of mosquitoes, and there are many floaters. Are you looking at people who have malaria and do they have more mosquito bites than people who don't? ”
Sun Simiao looked back thoughtfully, shook his head, and said, "Xiahou has observed carefully, but Poor Dao has never paid attention to the floaters in the air. ”
As he spoke, the old man led a few people and carried another person over, and then put them into a nearby room. The three of them hurriedly followed, and Sun Simiao and Imperial Physician He were busy again. Soon, one after another, people came over, and there were nearly thirty people!
Sun Simiao and Mrs. He gave the people a pulse, then wrung the juice of the yellow artemisia out and fed it to those who were infected with malaria.
The three of them guarded the more than 30 patients like this, feeding them the juice of Artemisia annua every few hours, and Sun Simiao and Taiyi Ling also had to check their pulses every once in a while, always keeping an eye on the situation of these people. (To be continued.) )
