A few days later, Tongcheng suddenly came out with news to change the city lord, and the public notice posted it was written that the old city lord was old, and he had been ill recently, and he was really overwhelmed, so he resigned from the post of city lord and gave way to the virtuous.

And in the past few days, the epidemic situation in Tongcheng has risen to a new height, and the number of people who come to see a doctor every day has risen in a straight line, and the medical hall opened by Ji Changkong can no longer accept so many people, and finally has to find a number of doctors to discuss the establishment of new plague treatment points in other places. But the other doctors' places are not as spacious as theirs, so in order to allow everyone who is infected to have medical treatment and medicine, they have added one place after another.

Despite this, the most feared thing happened, and some patients who were too sick could not be saved because they were not sent to the hospital in time. And several patients who have been staying in the hospital for treatment have also suddenly deteriorated, and they are still lifeless and return to their hometowns under the rescue of a group of people.

The only good thing is that the new city lord is a very reasonable person, and he attaches great importance to the plague in Tongcheng, and on the first day of his appointment, he first went to the hospital to visit Ji Changkong and check on the situation of many patients. When he saw the patients lying on the bed and dying, his grief was overflowing, and he immediately said that if the doctors had any needs, the local government would actively cooperate, and the government and the people would work together to extinguish this dangerous plague.

So Ji Changkong told him his thoughts word for word, and the new city lord listened to the applause of the case, and immediately responded to his request, and after returning home, he began to send someone to do it.

In this regard, the gates of Tongcheng facing all directions were heavily closed, blocking the flow of people like a waterfall, and set up officers and soldiers to guard them, prohibiting anyone from entering and leaving without reporting and approval. In addition, each medical center that has set up a designated clinic needs to count the number of new patients every day and publicize the data in each medical center in order to keep abreast of the epidemic situation.

In addition, the lord of the city also spontaneously sent a letter to the magistrate of the nearby town, borrowed more than 100 doctors with medical skills, and sent them all to various medical centers to help the doctors in the city treat patients. This move really solved everyone's urgent need.

In order to accommodate more patients, Ji Changkong made a decision to invite all the families of the patients who remained in the hospital back, and only keep the patients in need in the hospital. After the operation, the ward was able to barely accommodate the sick patients, but at the same time, worse, news spread in the city.

Several of the doctors and helpers who worked hard to treat patients every day were also infected with the plague, and when the incident came out, it caused quite a stir, and everyone was speculating about the origin of the illness on the doctors.

But in fact, it is not difficult to guess at all, the doctors are all in good health, and these helpers are basically rescuers moved from Qingteng Village by Beizhi, and there is absolutely no possibility of being infected in advance, so it is natural that the disease is caused by contact with the patient for many days. Combined with the observation and treatment experience over the past few days, Ji Changkong further concluded that the disease was transmitted through mouth breathing and close contact.

Some doctors were infected, and Ji Changkong's mood could not be said to be unaffected, but something had happened, and there was no other way but to let everyone thicken the protective measures on their bodies, from the previous face to cover their mouths and noses with long silk, and then wrap their hands in silk cloth, and wrap their whole body tightly, so as to reduce contact with patients as much as possible, but this still can't change the fact that patients are increasing day by day. Looking at the data reported by medical centers around the world, Ji Changkong's heart became heavier and heavier.

Nineteen looked at these data, and then looked at those people who were dying on the verge of death, and he was also anxious, and asked Ji Changkong: "Childe, there are more and more people who are sick, what should I do?" Seeing that he was silent, he thought for a while, and finally asked the question that had been buried in his heart for many days: "Don't we have medicine, why don't we bring it to everyone to try?" ”

"Medicine? What medicine? Bei Ran on the side heard him and walked over, looking at the two of them suspiciously.

"I can't take that medicine yet."

"Why?" Nineteen didn't quite understand, the medicine had been refined a few days ago, but Ji Changkong had not taken it out for everyone for a long time, what was the reason for this.

Hearing this, Bei Ran also looked at Ji Changkong: "Sir, since there is medicine, let's try it for everyone." After a pause, she added, "Even if it's useless, it doesn't matter." ”

It's just that it's not as simple as that, if he was only worried about this, he would have sent the medicine to everyone a long time ago, and he didn't take out the medicine for a long time, in fact, there were other reasons, and he couldn't tell these people. But the two asked tightly, and Ji Changkong could only pinch his head and end and said simply: "This medicine needs someone to test the drug, but if it fails, it may be life-threatening." ”

Bei Ran and Nineteen Yi were slightly taken aback when they heard this, their eyes were paired, and they understood Ji Changkong's painstaking efforts, he must have been worried that the failure of the drug test would kill a life, so he couldn't bear it.

But in this situation, if there is no medicine that can suppress the disease, I am afraid that more people will die. These days, the number of patients admitted to the pharmacy has exceeded 1,000, and everyone has different symptoms, some have headaches and fevers, some cough non-stop, some vomit and diarrhea, so that the whole hospital is full of black smoke and miasma, they shuttle among these people every day, although they are wrapped in thick silk cloth, they can still smell the sick's disgusting vomit, it is almost suffocating.

If it weren't for their strong will, they would have been driven crazy by living in such an environment every day. Now that the antidote has been developed, although it may not be successful, it can be regarded as an opportunity, so Bei Ran and Nineteen both looked at Ji Changkong and were eager to try.

Before the two of them could speak, a head suddenly appeared in the corner of the wall, and looked at the three of them and said cautiously: "Doctor Ji, Miss Bei, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on you, I just happened to pass by, but why don't you let me try the medicine you just said." ”

The three of them turned around together, only to see that the one who came out had a sturdy face on his head, it was that Li Daqiang, he looked at them, his eyes were full of longing.

Ji Changkong said: "Since you heard it, you should also hear me say that if you fail, you will die." ”

Li Daqiang ran out of the corner: "I'm not afraid!" Now that my father is dead, I'm left alone, and it's not interesting to live, if I can help you test the medicine, even if I really die, I did a good thing before I died. And ......". He looked at Ji Changkong and his attitude was extremely sincere, "Doctor Ji, you are a good person, I was confused and maliciously slandered you for a while, and I also ask you not to take it to heart, and I hope that I can try the medicine to make up for my mistakes." ”

Even though he had already talked about this, Ji Changkong still had some concerns in his heart, in fact, he had already tested the medicine himself, and there was no problem, but they were mortals, and they were very different from his god body, if they just took it directly, I don't know what the reaction would be.

After hesitating for a long time, I finally agreed. He took out a small bottle from his sleeve, lifted the lid and poured one in the palm of his hand, and handed it to the man: "Be mentally prepared." ”

Li Daqiang nodded solemnly, then tilted his head and swallowed the medicine.

The three of them looked at him with wide eyes......
