After Qin Mu caused the heavenly thunder to split the plague god into ashes, it rained heavily for a whole day, the temperature plummeted, and the next day there was a Xiaoice hail, and a spring cold made Huguang in mid-February seem to be back in the cold winter.

The end of the Ming Dynasty belongs to the Xiaoice River period, and the climate is often abnormal, so it is not a strange thing to have such an inverted spring cold, but because this hail appeared after Qin Mu attracted the heavenly thunder to kill the plague god, it was inevitably given many unusual meanings by the people.

Even Qin Mu couldn't help muttering secretly, could it be that he could really call the wind and rain and change the heavens and the earth? It's weird, isn't it?

After the people of Huguang heard about the plague and panicked all day long, many people first believed it, but there were many people who said the legend, and the people unconsciously hoped that it was true, so they gradually believed;

This made the military and the people of Huguang a lot more stable, especially in the Xiangyin area, it turned out that everyone didn't even dare to go out, after this incident, the city quickly returned to the situation before the plague, people were no longer afraid, dared to go out to make a living, there were more people on the street, the shops were open, and the smiles returned to people's faces.

While people were jubilantly discussing this matter, Qin Mu had already ignored the obstruction of Zhuge Min and others, and rushed to the epidemic isolation area near Daning Village with more than a dozen famous doctors recruited from all over the country.

The soothing thing is done, that trick can only be deceived for a while, if the epidemic is not really controlled and continues to spread, then what kind of heavenly thunder and plague god will become a joke.

The patient isolation area is located on the edge of a small lake six or seven miles away from Daning Village, surrounded by mountains on three sides and by the lake on one side.

Xiangyin guard general Chen Youyi, and the original ruler Lang Zhong called Shangcan. They all came together to welcome Qin Mu.

Chen Youyi is a Huxiang man in his forties, with a short beard stretched out under the mask, his eyes are calm, and meeting him is a military salute.

Qin Mu said with relief: "General Chen is not afraid of hardships and dangers this time, and he was able to quickly lead the army to blockade Daning Village at the beginning of the epidemic, this kind of fearless spirit is worth learning from every soldier. ”

"My lord has won the award, but the last general really doesn't dare to be it, and the last general and his soldiers just fulfilled their military oath." Chen Youyi paused when he said this. Cai continued, "Besides, don't hide it from your lordship, the last general's family is in Xiangyin, if you don't block Daning Village in time, let the plague spread out, and affect your family and neighbors, the last general will have no shame to face the parents and villagers in Xiangyin." ”

Hearing Chen Youyi's selfish words, Qin Mu glanced at him instead. He likes this kind of honest people.

"Please General Chen pass down the word, all the soldiers who participated in the blockade of the epidemic area, this officer will give corresponding rewards, and the reward will be distributed to all soldiers within three days. Let us not slack off, let alone fear, as long as we strengthen protection, the plague will not spread to everyone. If this official dares to come to the epidemic area, he will be sure to control the epidemic. ”

"Thank you, sir."

Only then did Qin Mu ask about the situation in the quarantine area, and according to the situation reported by the official. At present, a total of 87 patients have been admitted to the quarantine area, of which 61 are moderately and severely ill, 49 have died, and 12 remain.

There were 26 mild patients and suspected patients, 9 of whom were under control and did not continue to deteriorate after taking medication, and 17 of whom were ineffective and whose condition was getting worse.

Qin Mu frowned when he heard this, according to Shangguan's words, it meant that his medicine was basically useless, and the condition of the nine suspected patients with mild fever was under control, most likely because these nine people were not infected with plague at all, but just ordinary cold and fever.

Because he was not able to cure any of the severe patients, most of the mild patients could not be controlled.

This made Qin Mu can't help but think of Wu Youke again, he has asked the Singles House to make every effort to find the whereabouts of Wu Youke, but so far, no relevant news has been sent back.

"Are the dead all cremated?"

"Lord Hui, they were all cremated according to your orders."

"Are there any new infections in the nearby villages these days?"

"There are four people, but the symptoms are relatively mild, and it is not yet clear whether they have contracted the disease, so they are isolated across the lake."

"Well, let's go, go in and have a look." Qin Mu took a dozen doctors and walked into the isolation area under the guidance of the upper function, the isolation area was all temporarily built tents, and the entire isolation area was sprinkled with lime powder, and it was white at a glance.

Shangguan Neng and the doctor brought by Qin Mu began to discuss the treatment of the epidemic while walking.

"In the chapter on typhoid fever on Shaoyin, the symptoms contained in it are cold and heat, and the qi of cold water is directly in Shaoyin, which is a sign of cold; From the three yangs, it is a heat certificate. Zhisi said, why can those who have two or three days of yin disease use Coptis Ejiao soup and Dachengqi soup? If the cold invades people heavily, if it enters the yin at that time, it is a cold sign of typhoid fever. If the cold qi invades the person lightly, it lies in the three-coke lipid membrane, which can not make people sick, and blocks the circulation of gasification, secretly generates internal heat, and then due to kidney deficiency, the heat dissolved by the fuqi can take advantage of the deficiency and enter the kidney. ”

"Well, it makes sense, the kidney is caused by the deficiency of heat, and the heat of the fuqi is attracted by the heat, the fuqi is the same qi, and it is easy to enter the kidneys. This young yin disease has the reason of irritability in the heart. ”

The internal scripture says: "Winter hurts the cold, and spring will be sick and warm", which is said to turn heat into disease. However, its disease may not enter the less yin. Neijing is also said: "Winter does not hide the essence, spring will be sick and warm", this is mostly the disease of volcanic qi and heat into the void into the less yin, so the disease is more difficult to identify than the sick person who is sick and not easy to treat, so in the winter injury in the cold spring must be warm disease, especially for the discernment and reiteration of it"

Qin Mu doesn't know medicine, and he is not sure whether the saying "if you don't hide your essence in winter, you will get sick and warm in spring", but as a descendant, he knows very well how the plague spreads;

So he said unceremoniously: "Everyone, please listen to what this official says, this official can tell you clearly that there are many kinds of plagues, and this kind of plague that began in the Wanli period and broke out again in the sixth year of Chongzhen is called the plague;

When the Mongols marched westward, they often slaughtered cities, countless dead people, and the rotting corpses piled up, and after the rats ate the rotting corpses, they contracted the epidemic and then spread the plague to people;

At that time, nearly half of the population of Europa was infected with the plague and died, and the people of Ologopa called this plague the Black Death. ”

Shangguan Neng and the others were all stunned when they heard Qin Mu's words, and one of the doctors named Mo Fei asked in disbelief: "Lord Governor said that rats spread the plague to people, how could this rat spread the plague to people?" ”

Qin Mu thought for a while and said: "Have you noticed that during the day, when the light worn by the sky shines into the suffocation, you can see a lot of small floating objects in the pillar of light, and many diseases are as small as these floating dust, which are usually invisible to the naked eye, but they are real; Infected rats carry similar small germs that can be infected with the plague if they come into contact with them.

In addition, fleas can also spread plague to humans after biting a rat with the disease. Once the means of transmission are known, the plague is not difficult to prevent, as long as these routes of transmission are cut off;

As for how to treat it, the official does not know, the official only knows that after the plague germ enters the human body, it will mainly cause lesions in the blood and lungs of the person;

Blood flows through the blood vessels throughout the body, which we estimate to be called the blood circulation system, and the lungs are the respiratory system of the human body, and the lesions are mainly caused by these two systems of the human body;

You can start with these two systems of the human body, maybe it works, okay, that's all I know, I hope it will help you. ”

More than a dozen doctors looked at each other, although Qin Mu's words were shallow, it would take some time for them to digest them.

But generally speaking, although the doctors at this time are not as knowledgeable as the doctors of later generations, in terms of medical ethics, they are definitely incomparable to those black-hearted doctors in later generations.

These more than ten doctors are all famous doctors in Huguang, this time to the epidemic area, none of them were forced to come, as soon as the people sent by Qin Mu arrived, explaining their intentions, these doctors packed up the medicine box and took the initiative to come.

Therefore, regardless of whether they were good at treating the plague or not, Qin Mu respected their character very much, and he decided that after the plague, he would teach them some surgical treatment knowledge, and let them take the lead in training a group of surgeons for themselves to prepare for future wars.
