Medical Immortals come from the future

Chapter 86 The City of Death
Sima Qing was stunned at first, but felt that his own little hand was wrapped in his big one, and there was a burst of warmth in his palm. This feeling was very comfortable, like silky silk, wrapping her heart little by little. .

Looking at his running profile, Sima Qing smiled slightly, said nothing, but subconsciously clenched her hands.

Mei Ruotian seemed to feel her subtle movements, and her body froze for a moment. She turned her head and glanced at her, but she saw her expression as usual, following his footsteps and walking seriously.

So he didn't hesitate any longer, and continued to hold her hand and run towards the East District.

The officer and soldier followed behind them, completely paying attention to these small details, and couldn't help muttering in his heart: Who is this little beggar?Why would the dignified imperial doctor Mei talk mysteriously to a little beggar here?Ah, just now Doctor Mei turned around and took the initiative to hold the little beggar's hand... The way the little beggar looked at Doctor Mei, and the way Doctor Mei looked at the little beggar... Oh my mother, this seems to be a bit too much information!Such an extraordinary and refined imperial doctor Mei, actually has a habit of breaking sleeves?And with a little beggar!

A certain officer and soldier Sensen felt that he seemed to know too many things that he shouldn't know...

Of course, the two people in front had no idea that the officers and soldiers behind were struggling with their own three views all the way.Under the leadership of Mei Ruotian, Sima Qing walked all the way through the western part of the city, and arrived at the eastern part where the officers and soldiers had just reported that several civilians had died.

After the outbreak of the plague, the entire Huilei City was divided into four regions according to the severity of the plague. The people in the northern and southern regions belonged to "suspected cases of infection", that is, they had mild symptoms, but they were not obvious. It is impossible to determine the people who have been infected with the plague, and they dare not release it lightly; while the east and west districts are "severely disease-infected areas", all those who have been diagnosed with the plague are concentrated here. The place with the most daily deaths.

Following Mei Ruotian all the way here, Sima Qing really witnessed the real situation of the plague, and also felt the death crisis that the plague brought to this city. Xiao Suo" is not too much.Rao is that Sima Qing has also been to the disaster area where an infectious disease broke out in her previous life, but she was still shocked by the scene in front of her.

In fact, in the future world with advanced medical technology, the scale of infectious disease outbreaks will not be very large, because the control of special drugs can always be very fast, but in this era, the plague is like a tiger descending from the mountain, and there is no anesthesia gun or musket that can be subdued quickly. , even Wu Song, who was fighting the tiger, came late, so once it is a serious infectious disease, it is almost impossible to control it in a short period of time, and the number of people who get sick and die quickly will be many times more.

Just like this Huilei City, it can already be called a veritable "City of Death".

"It has been about ten days since the plague was discovered. In the two cities, more than 1000 and 80 people have died of the disease so far, more than 600 people have been diagnosed with the plague, and hundreds of people are suspected cases. , that is to say, if the source of infection and the cause of the disease are not found out, then nearly a thousand lives will die soon!" Mei Ruotian also introduced the basic situation to Sima Qing along the way.

"Why are you here alone? Where are my senior brothers?" Sima Qing went all the way to the East District, but she didn't see those people coming out of the Sacred Heart Valley.

"Oh, your senior brothers are not in this city. We came out of the Sacred Heart Valley and went to Guyue City first. The medicinal materials and them were left there, because there was no progress for two days, I just thought about it. Come here and see if you find anything." Mei Ruotian also forgot the usual quarrel with her, and answered her questions in a serious manner.

"Aren't those isolation suits and masks brought out from Sacred Heart Valley not here?"

"Those, no. They're all in Gu Yue City."

Mei Ruotian didn't care much about the strange clothes brought out from the Sacred Heart Valley. What kind of isolation clothes?He really didn't believe that wearing those clothes, and wearing that kind of thing called a "mask" to cover most of his face, could prevent the plague from being infected?

If Sima Qing knew what he was thinking, she would probably roll her eyes at him. Please, old antique imperial doctor, the function of the isolation suit does not mean that it can isolate the infection 100%, but at least it is much lower than not wearing it. The chance of getting infected is much lower. Well?
Of course, she doesn't know now.

"Oh, I remember I brought a lot of them when I came out. Why don't you send someone to that city to get some? The officers, soldiers and doctors here can wear them. After all, we haven't figured out what the source of the plague is. Now we can What we do is to try our best to prevent more people from contracting the disease, especially these doctors. There are too many people, and more helpers can save one more life." Sima Qing's words were orderly and serious, just like her usual The image of the naughty bag is completely different.

Mei Ruotian also finds it a bit unbelievable that Miss Yasha...every time she encounters a patient, she shows a completely different side, moreover, this side is mature and calm that doesn't match her age at all.

For example, at this moment, if it were any other girl, in such an environment, seeing so many dead and sick people, would she run away in fright, or at least her face would turn pale and her legs would tremble, right?Like himself, when he was 16 years old, he first followed his master and his old man to work as a doctor and nurse in a place where many people died of the plague. He was also frightened by the feeling of dying, and he gradually got used to it after two days...

But this girl, only 15 years old, came to this kind of place alone for the first time. Not only did she not feel the slightest fear, she was able to think about so many problems, her thinking was completely clear, and she even felt like a commander... Is this really normal?

Naturally, he didn't say these doubts and disbelief, because now is not the time to dwell on these issues at all!
Mei Ruotian thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll send two officers and soldiers out of the city to fetch them. But, do you still want to stay here?" When they came out of the Sacred Heart Valley, Senior Sima didn't let them, these women It's normal to come here together. A place like a plague-stricken area is still very dangerous, just like a battlefield. As long as there is a man alive, how can a woman's family be put in danger?
Sima Qing could see at a glance that he had the same thinking of an ancient man as Grandpa Gu, and she couldn't help but roll her eyes silently in her heart, but on the surface, she said with an innocent face, "Yes, I can I have traveled all the way here on purpose, if I don’t stay here, am I here to visit the mountains and rivers?”

"What are you doing here?"

"Tsk, don't look down on people, even if I can't do anything else if I stay here, at least I can help make medicine, take care of patients and so on?" Sima Qing stared at him with wide eyes.

Mei Ruotian lost her temper when she saw her clear and innocent eyes, and finally could only sigh helplessly and compromise: "Okay, you can stay, but you must obey my orders in everything, and you are not allowed to mess around."

Sima Qing curled her lips, why should she listen to you?You are not my girl...

"Well, I will, I will, as long as you let me stay." But considering that this guy here certainly seems to be quite high-status, let's not do right with him for the time being, let him be soft, so as not to wait Will he let the officers and soldiers throw himself out of the city.

After a while of haggling, the two of them officially threw themselves into "work".

Two old-looking doctors came to report and discuss the condition of Mei Ruotian.There are only about sixteen doctors supporting the city, and currently three are assigned to each area. A large wooden shed was temporarily built on a spacious open space by the moat in the eastern district, and all the doctors live temporarily. Here, all kinds of Chinese medicinal materials are piled up everywhere, and there are also piles of various ancient medical books, which are very messy. It is evidence that the doctors stayed up all night and held candles at night.

It's a pity that although the doctors are working hard, God doesn't give face, and the epidemic has not been effectively controlled.

"Oh, it won't work. The prescription you prescribed a few hours ago, Royal Physician Mei, still won't work."

"That's right, the few patients who took the medicine haven't seen any improvement until now, but two or three have already died."

The two old doctors looked tired and sad.

"Excuse me, what are the symptoms of those patients who died?" Sima Qing who was on the side couldn't help interjecting.

Only then did the two doctors see Sima Qing standing behind Mei Ruotian, but because she still had to wear the strange tattered men's clothes before, the two doctors took a look at her and ignored her. A little beggar, who understands What?Therefore, the two doctors did not intend to answer her question.

"Mei Yuyi, the old man privately thinks that this plague may be a damp-heat epidemic type. Because the patient feels the damp-heat epidemic poison, excessive heat and dampness, flooding the inside and outside, he sees aversion to cold and strong heat. After that, the heat is not cold, and he has fever day and night. As it gets worse day by day, headache, bone and joint pain, nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea, red tongue with yellow coating, etc., we should..."

"No, the old man thinks it should be summer-dryness epidemic disease! Because the patient has a feeling of summer-dryness and epidemic evil, lustful heat burns in the stomach, spreads out to the fur meridians, and internally invades the internal organs, forming the heat syndrome in the twelve meridians of the day, so he has aversion to cold Severe fever, flushed face with sweat, splitting headache, body aches, spots and rashes, etc., so we should study in this direction."

"Nonsense, my patient is clearly of the damp-heat epidemic type, how can there be any heat-dryness epidemic evil?"

"Hey, you old Cai, you're just talking nonsense. What do you want to do at a time like this?"

"You, you, you... you are the one who wants to claim credit! What the old man said is the truth!"

……

Seeing the two old doctors quarrel while talking, the "little beggar" Sima Qing who was completely ignored had no choice but to help her forehead.

Forget it, spending time asking these unreliable doctors, why not go out and see for herself, of course, if she is "free", she would have gone out to practice a long time ago, and still stay here to listen to their nonsense!
Thinking of this, she couldn't help casting a resentful look at a certain imperial doctor.
