Because he was thinking about things, Xia Hongsheng woke up early in the morning, hurriedly ate something, went around the construction site to take a look, and then went to the hospital.

When I arrived at the hospital, the doctors were already busy. There was a lot of noise inside, like a vegetable market, listening to the content, they were all arguing about whether a certain prescription was appropriate, whether a certain medicinal herb had any effect, and so on.

When I walked to the door and looked inside, I saw the doctors sitting at the table one by one, flipping through books in one hand, holding pens in the other, and arguing with others in their mouths. For a while, no one even noticed Xia Hongsheng standing at the door.

Looking at the work enthusiasm of the group of imperial doctors in front of him, and comparing it with his lazy and absent work all day, Xia Hongsheng was suddenly embarrassed.

"Huh? Isn't this Xiahou? Why did Xia Hou have time to come to our hospital today? It was still the imperial doctor's sharp eyes that saw Xia Hongsheng standing at the door, so he walked over and said, "What's the matter, Xia Hou is not feeling well?" ”

"Eat well, dress warmly, sleep soundly, and be comfortable!" Xia Hongsheng smiled at the Imperial Physician Ling: "I came here today to find Divine Doctor Sun and discuss a matter with Imperial Physician Ling. ”

The imperial physician Ling listened to Xia Hongsheng's words, so he nodded with a smile and said: "Then Xiahou here, please, Sun Daochang is identifying the medicinal materials in the back, the person who was sent to find the medicine yesterday brought back some medicinal materials, and Sun Daochang is checking the medical book." ”

The two of them went to the backyard of the Tai Hospital together, and the sound of the argument in front of them was endless. When I got to the back, I saw a medicine house with the door open. I was able to see Sun Simiao inside. Holding a thick medical book in one hand. Holding a few herbs in one hand, he looked back and forth.

"Daoist Sun!" Xia Hongsheng called outside, and Sun Simiao in the medicine house turned around when he heard the voice, and saw that it was the two of them, so he walked out and said with a smile: "Why did Xiahou come to the hospital today, but where is it not very comfortable?" ”

Xia Hongsheng smiled dumbly, they are all doctors in the end!

"Nope. Be in good health! Xia Hongsheng smiled and bowed his hand, and said, "Daochang Sun, what are you doing here?" ”

Sun Simiao walked to the side with the two of them and sat down, put the herbs in his hand on the stone table, and said: "Ancient Shuyun, the one who is in his hand, clears away heat and relieves heat, and can be used for heat and evil fever, yin deficiency and fever. The night is hot and the morning is cool, and the bones are steaming and hot. Alternating between cold and heat, damp and hot jaundice. But what this is inconclusive. Lao Dao rummaged through the medical books, and to sum up the former, he thought that he was a thief, and Artemisia was also. However, there are several species of Artemisia, but we cannot be sure of one of them. Now it is autumn, which is the germination period of Artemisia, so Poor Dao asked someone to find a few things that may be Worm, and came back to identify them, hoping to draw a definite conclusion from them, so that future generations can discern them. ”

Xia Hongsheng sighed, nodded, looked at a few artemisia plants that Sun Simiao put on the table, and said in his heart that this thing was drunk and washed when he was a child in the later life, and the effect was very good. But the plants in front of me all look similar, and I don't know which one I drank and washed at that time.

After thinking about it carefully, he said, "This...... I remember that it was able to go to the fire and cure the blood fever? It seems to be called Artemisia annua? ”

"Artemisia?" Taiyi Ling shook his head: "I'm afraid what Xiahou said is Artemisia annua, but Artemisia annua has this heat-clearing effect." ”

"Maybe......" Xia Hongsheng shook his head and said, "I don't remember very clearly, this thing can also treat malaria, it's quite magical." ”

"Bang", the thick medical book in Sun Simiao's hand fell to the ground, but he didn't pick it up, Xia Hongsheng looked over, but found that Sun Simiao's eyes widened, and he looked at himself with his mouth open. Looking at the Imperial Doctor's Order, it is the same picture.

Xia Hongsheng was a little confused, and scratched his head: "Daochang Sun? Ho Lord? ”

"Xiahou! You just said that Artemisia annua cures malaria?! Sun Simiao's expression was serious, staring at Xia Hongsheng tightly, and asked in a deep voice.

"yes!" Xia Hongsheng was stunned by Sun Simiao's serious and dignified appearance, and nodded. Isn't there artemisinin in the afterlife...... That's right, artemisinin, artemisinin, is Artemisia annua!

"This ......" Imperial Doctor Ling twisted his beard and looked at Sun Simiao.

Sun Simiao slapped his thigh, stood up suddenly, strode into the grass house, carried out a large basket of artemisia, and said, "Go!" ”

The Imperial Physician Ling hurriedly nodded and got up, and the two of them were about to walk outside.

Xia Hongsheng was stunned at the time, and quickly stood up: "Hey, I said two, what is this doing, I originally came to find two people who have important matters to discuss today......

"Human life is at stake, Xiahou!" Sun Simiao interrupted Xia Hongsheng's words: "Let's come back and talk about it!" ”

"Huh?" Xia Hongsheng was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The imperial physician replied: "Xiahou, a village more than forty miles away outside Chang'an City, it has been infected with malaria, and more than ten people have died!" The rest of the people are now sealed in the village and are not allowed to enter and exit, and Yongzhou Mu is already anxious about this matter. Now fortunately, it has not spread in that village, and if it does, it will be reported to Your Majesty! ”

After listening to the explanation of the imperial doctor's order, Xia Hongsheng clapped his hands, ouch, I forgot that malaria was no longer a serious and terminal disease in later generations, but it was a plague in ancient times. No wonder Sun Simiao and Taiyi Ling were so excited to hear that Artemisia annua can cure malaria. With just one sentence, he carried Artemisia annua on his back without asking, which shows that there is no way to do it, and he is eager to go over and give it a try.

"Don't panic, Daochang Sun, Lord He, don't panic. Go and order the people of the Tai Hospital to bring wormwood, burn wormwood in that village, surround the village with wormwood, and burn the smoke, so that the disease will not spread to the village. Xia Hongsheng said to the two: "It's mosquitoes that infect malaria, mosquitoes are biting people after autumn, and when the mosquitoes die in the cold, the disease will not be contagious." ”

"What?!" Sun Simiao and Imperial Physician Ling both looked at Xia Hongsheng in puzzlement: "Xiahou, do you know what malaria is?" It can be known that every time there is a lot of miasma, seven or eight out of ten people die of disease, and few can survive by luck. And the epidemic is so infectious, that anyone with malaria can spread quickly. ”

Xia Hongsheng waved his hand and said, "Daochang Sun, remember when I told you before, there are some living creatures in this world, countless times smaller than a human hair, and human eyes can't see it?" Malaria is caused by a ...... Well, you can think of it as a kind of bug, which is very small, and when the mosquito is bloodthirsty, it enters the human bloodstream, and then the human gets malaria. If a mosquito sucks the blood of someone who has malaria, and then bites someone else, the worm will enter his blood again, and he will also have malaria. And between people, malaria is not contagious. ”

"This ......" Taiyi Ling and Sun Simiao glanced at each other and shook their heads: "Unbelievable......"

"Don't be weird, let's go over and have a look." Xia Hongsheng also knew the terrible outbreak of malaria in ancient times, so he urged: "If you really can't suppress it, if it is infected at that time, I will listen to the heavens, and I will see how Yongzhou Mu will explain to His Majesty at that time!" It's light to go to the official and degrade to the common people! ”

"Xiahou is also going?" Sun Simiao looked at Xia Hongsheng in surprise: "That village is dangerous, Xiahou is still ......"

"Human life is more important than a thousand gold!" Xia Hongsheng interrupted Sun Simiao and said, "Daochang Sun, let's go." Listen to me this time, yes. The Tang Dynasty Blade originally came to pacify the rebellion of the Tan Dian tribes in Lingnan, right? There was a miasma in the dense forests of Lingnan, and none of them had malaria. It's because I let no one have enough wormwood with them, and use the smell of wormwood to drive away mosquitoes and flies, and when they go, it's not when there are too many mosquitoes, and if they don't get bitten by mosquitoes, they won't get malaria. ”

After hearing what Xia Hongsheng said, Sun Simiao and Taiyi Ling had no other way, so they nodded, and the three of them gathered people together, loaded a lot of dried wormwood from the Tai Hospital, and immediately rushed to the village outside Chang'an City where malaria broke out.

More than 40 miles outside Chang'an City, it is not too far, and when it was close to noon, everyone arrived. In the distance, he saw a few servants with short sticks standing under a mountain road.

"The village is on the ridge, and this road is the only way out." The imperial physician ordered the carriage to come down and said to Xia Hongsheng, and then shouted to the people who came with him: "Wait until you unload these wormwoods, go up and circle the village!" ”

While the imperial physician was speaking, Sun Simiao had already gone up to the top, and the salutes of the officials also turned a blind eye.

"Xiahou, do you really want to go up?" The Imperial Physician Ling pulled Xia Hongsheng and persuaded: "You still tell me how to do it, stay below!" ”

"It's okay!" Xia Hongsheng shook his head, and shouted at Sun Simiao again: "Daoist Sun, don't go up yet, you have to prepare!" ”

As he spoke, he touched his sleeve and took out a few medicine cloth bags from the Tai Hospital, and then grabbed wormwood from the back of the carriage and stuffed it into the medicine cloth bag, and then tied it to his body. I filled in two more in the same way and handed them to the Imperial Physician Ling and Sun Simiao. As for the others, they carried the large bundles of wormwood to the top, but they were afraid that the mosquitoes would be far away.

"Alright, you can go up!" Xia Hongsheng said: "Be careful, don't get bitten by mosquitoes. When you come back, bring a face mask, tie the cuffs, trouser legs and collar, and cover all the exposed areas! ”

The three of them went up the ridge together, with a large bag of mugwort leaves on their bodies, and the thick mugwort gas choked people, not to mention mosquitoes.

As soon as he went up, an old man with a white beard and a pale face came over and knelt down as if he had seen a life-saving straw, and kept kowtowing the ground, while crying: "Doctor Sun! What a miracle doctor! Please, be gracious and save my little grandson! He...... He...... He's got it, too! I'm only 10 years old! Save him! Save him! ”

The three of them looked at each other: "Let's go, go to your house!" (To be continued.) )
