Chapter 9 Curing the Plague
"I've got ghost face sores, and I'll die sooner or later!" Hu Guang said with a sad smile, "If I infect other people, I won't be able to survive even if I die!"

"Ghost-face sores?" Ji Yu asked anxiously, "How to diagnose and treat this disease? Brother Gao, you will definitely cure this disease, right?"

I'm afraid even Jiyu doesn't know when Gao Jingzong became Jiyu's reliance.Gao Jingzong smiled wryly in his heart, he was really unhappy about the retribution, he was going to be exposed as a fake genius doctor after all.

However, before Gao Jingzong could answer, he heard Feng Lei say: "This is a plague, not a disease, and there is no law to cure it. It is said that this kind of plague is punished by the gods. There is also a saying that the devil came to the world to find people. Therefore, those who suffer from this kind of plague will either die or become ghosts in the world. According to our customs, when people who are infected with this plague are killed, they must be burned, and those who survive must be burned alive. !"

Gao Jingzong had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Uncle Feng, whether this plague is as terrifying as the legends say is unknown, why don't we talk about it after I go to see it."

The physique of the Chinese people in later generations is the best in the world. Most of the food contains highly toxic chemical additives, but they eat more than ten or dozens of times more than the world's average chemical additives. Eat less, still alive and kicking.He felt that he had been injected with cholera, smallpox, hepatitis B and other vaccines in his early years, and his immunity was definitely not lower than that of people in this era.

Hu Guang is a scout, so he is naturally courageous.Said: "Feng Shuai, I will accompany Miracle Doctor Xiao Gao to enter. You guys should prepare something to start the fire. Once it is confirmed that it is a "ghost face sore", I will send a signal, and you will set fire to the Wild Wolf Valley."

Not long after entering Wild Wolf Valley, there were many weak people leaning or lying on the rocks and dead trees in the valley. These people were men and women, and there were many children.However, seeing yellow blisters and red rashes appearing on the faces and exposed arms of these people is very scary.Hu Guang was secretly startled, "It really is a ghost face sore!"

Gao Jingzong looked thoughtful when he saw the plague patients one by one.Although Gao Jingzong is not a real doctor, living in the era of information explosion in later generations, his knowledge must be unmatched by people of this era.This symptom is called "smallpox" in later generations. The smallpox virus reproduces quickly, and it spreads through the air at an alarming speed.Carriers are most contagious within seven days of infection because their saliva contains the greatest amount of smallpox virus.But until the patient's scar is peeled off, smallpox may still be transmitted to others through the patient.There are different varieties of smallpox virus, which can cause different degrees of infection in humans.Most smallpox patients will recover, and death usually occurs within seven days or half a month after the onset, with a mortality rate of about 30.00%.

Gao Jingzong is now very sure that what these people got was smallpox.The days with the highest smallpox mortality rate are within a week, when the mortality rate is as high as 20.00%. In the second week, the mortality rate is only 5.00%. If these people suffer from smallpox for more than half a month, they belong to those who can rely on their own immunity to survive survivor.If he didn't take the opportunity to earn the life-saving grace of these people, Gao Jingzong would have traveled in vain.Thinking of this, Gao Jingzong immediately had an idea in his mind.

An old salt owl said: "Little monk, are you not afraid of death? Go, if you are lucky, you can save your life. If you are not lucky, you can only follow your Buddha!"

Gao Jingzong arched his hands and said: "Dare to ask my father, when did you get this strange disease?"

The old Yan Xiao said with a smile: "Little monk, you are really not afraid of death. If you can live, live as long as you can. Only by living can there be hope. Don't worry about us living dead!"

Gao Jingzong said: "My master Zeng has learned to cure diseases. The so-called doctor's parental heart, every doctor will not sit back and watch the patient die in front of him. As long as there is a slight possibility, I will try my best to save it!"

Old Yan Xiao shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, what we have is ghost face sores, which cannot be cured, and there is no cure!"

"How will you know the result if you don't try?"

Old Yan Xiao suddenly roared angrily: "Get out, you hear me, get out immediately, or I'll chop you up!"

Saying this, the surrounding salt owls who were still able to move got up wobbly, and charged towards Gao Jingzong with knives and guns.

"Back off!" Just as the two sides were on the verge of firing, a voice full of anger suddenly came from behind.It was none other than Yan Xiao's third head, Lu Yonghua, who spoke.Lu Yonghua knew that Wild Wolf Valley belonged to Jiziying's territory, and if they entered Jiziying's territory rashly, they would definitely alarm the people of Jiziying.Although Jiziying is a group of poor ghosts and there are not many people, they are very daring in fighting. They belong to the kind of people who are not easy to mess with if they can't beat you to death.

Lu Yonghua clasped his hands and said, "I'm in the main store of Fan's house, Lu Yonghua, I didn't ask who is from Ziying."

Naturally, Gao Jingzong didn't know the incisions and slang words exchanged between the begging army. He saw Hu Guang put away his knife and stood up bowing: "Jiziying Yueqi Xiaoqi Hu Guang has seen the third master."

"It turned out to be Ma Yaozi and Hu Yingxiong face to face, and I have admired him for a long time!"

"Don't dare to be, dare not be!" Hu Guang laughed and said: "The third family is a guest from afar. Since he is here at Jiziying, how can Jiziying not be a landlord?"

"It's really hard to explain, let's not hide it from Hu Yingxiong!" Lu Yonghua said: "Seven days ago, a clerk in our Fanjiadian got a strange disease. He just started to have a fever, a headache, and a cough. He was just treated according to the general typhoid fever. Red rashes and yellow blisters suddenly appeared on the face and hands, and the face looked like a ghost, which was extremely frightening. The head of the family knew that something was wrong and quickly dealt with the sick person, but this "ghost face sore" spread too fast.Holding the principle that he would rather kill the wrong than let it go, the head of the family killed more than 300 people at once, but the epidemic still spread, and even the knifemen who performed the cleanup were infected with "ghost face sores." Seeing such killing It can't stop the spread of the plague, so I brought these brothers with ghost-faced sores to the deserted Wolf Valley to wait for death. "

"Seven days." Hearing this, Gao Jingzong already had the bottom line in his heart. The seven days of the outbreak of the disease, the most dangerous time has passed, and those with weak constitution and poor immunity have almost died, and the rest are strong and healthy. survived.There is another characteristic of smallpox, as long as you survive once, you will never be infected with smallpox again.

Old Yanxiao said at this time: "Actually, the meaning of the third family is to take everyone to cross the Yellow River and pass this damned ghost-faced sore to Diqin and those beggars in Qianyan. If they get ghost-faced sore, nine out of ten will die." , we can regain the Central Plains without fighting."

"You shouldn't be able to die!" Hu Guang said: "We have a little doctor named Gao in Jiziying. His medical skills are really amazing. He can cure any disease. This ghost face sore is an incurable disease for others, but it is nothing for him. It's within reach!"

Gao Jingzong said embarrassingly: "Mr. Lu, I have learned medical skills from my family teacher, and I have a little bit of a way to deal with this disease. If the family teacher is still there, he is 100% sure to cure the "ghost face sore". You just haven't learned the true skills of a tutor, so you can only try your best!"

Lu Yonghua beamed with joy: "How sure are you!"

"Ninety percent!" Gao Jingzong said anxiously: "Ninety percent sure there is no one, and eighty percent can't be wrong! Even if you can't act against the sky, at least you must do your best."

Even if there is a [-]% chance, in Gao Jingzong's time, the money earned by such a doctor was not enough to pay for it.However, in this era, the medical ethics of traditional Chinese medicine are obvious to all. Looking at doctors since ancient times, Zhang Zhongjing, Sun Simiao, Qian Zhongyang, Ge Hong, Tao Hongjing, Li Dongyuan, Zhu Danxi, Zhang Jingyue, Yu Jiayan, Miao Xiyong, Xu Lingtai, Wang Mengying, etc. , They have excellent medical skills and are well-known, but their families are very poor.

Why, they will definitely not be like the doctors of later generations, while seeing a doctor, they will mentally calculate how much money they can withdraw from the drug fee. After a long time, my medical skills also declined, and I became a doctor who buys medicine (now there are many doctors of this type, and everyone has to earn a living).Doctors in ancient times used their talents with great abilities without any reservations. As long as they did not prescribe the wrong medicine or seized the wrong medicine, they would not be held responsible even if they were not skilled enough to cure a person to death.

Lu Yonghua watched Gao Jingzong walk towards the old Yan Xiao suddenly, the old Yan Xiao said: "Ghost face sores are contagious, the little doctor should not get close to the old man!"

Ever since these people suffered from ghost face sores, all the people saw them as if they had seen ghosts, and everyone avoided them. Until then, no one was willing to touch them. For a while, many salt owls who were not afraid of death could not help crying Tears.

Lu Yonghua couldn't help weeping and said: "The medicine can't cure death, and the disease can't be cured, but Xiao Gao's genius doctor doesn't abandon us and other ominous people. It really is a kindness and righteousness. Such kindness is deeply imprinted in my heart. Thank you for your kindness." , Miracle Doctor Xiao Gao has dispatched me, I will go up and down the main shop of Fan’s family, go up the mountain of swords and into the sea of ​​flames, and I will die!”

Gao Jingzong was overjoyed when he heard the words, he usually listened to the beauty of the Yan Xiao, once the Yan Xiao had interests, the benefits would be too much.Although the salt owls are among the ghosts, they have the most extensive contacts with the outside world. They can get enough elites and salt from them. In this era, salt and iron are strategic materials.As long as there are enough materials, Jiziying can grow and develop.Backed by the two backers of Jiziying and Yanxiao, Gao Jingzong can definitely live a good life in ghosts.

"Mr. Lu is serious. I am a lay disciple of Buddhism. The Buddha saves the common people, saves people from danger, is loyal, filial, benevolent, and righteous. I dare not disobey what the sages taught me!" Gao Jingzong said: "If Mr. Lu is trustworthy, I command everyone to listen to me Arrange and heal one by one!"

Lu Yonghua was overjoyed when he heard the words: "Dare not to follow orders!"
