Chapter 871 Plague
When Jiang Hao and Xiao He came to the backyard, they couldn't enter the women's boudoir without the master's consent, so they just watched the maids of the Lu family come in and out, carrying basins and pouring water.
Not long after, a doctor came over under the guidance of the housekeeper, saw Xiao He in the courtyard, and saluted, "Xiao Gongcao is also here."
"Doctor Hu, treat with heart, the patient is my niece." Xiao He said.
"Okay okay."
The doctor went in and began to diagnose and treat Susu. After seeing it, his complexion changed drastically, and he withdrew after a while, followed by Lu Gong. In the hospital, the doctor said seriously: "Xiao Gongcao, Lu Weng, I see Lu Miss is sick, I'm afraid she's caught the plague."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked.
"What, the plague, have you ever seen it for real!" Lu Gong shouted.
"How is it possible, how is it possible that my sister has the plague, we just came to Pei County." Lu Zhi also called out.
"Doctor Hu, you can see clearly, don't make a wrong diagnosis." Xiao He said with a frown.
The doctor immediately said: "Xiao Gongcao also knows that I have been helping the government to manage the affairs of the private camp these days, and many of them have the plague, and they all have the symptoms of Miss Lu, fever, headache like a saw, and skin tingling. Red, dizzy and restless, and weak pulse, all are symptoms of this plague."
Lu Gong's expression darkened after hearing this, but he immediately asked: "Then what kind of treatment is there, and it doesn't matter how much it costs."
"Now we are helpless against this kind of plague, and the medical theory has not been thoroughly studied. Even if some medicines are prescribed, they are only for clearing away heat and detoxifying." Dr. Hu sighed.
"Will it work?" Lu Zhi asked anxiously.
Dr. Hu shook his head helplessly, "Whether it can be recovered or not depends on God's will. Anyway, people who are taking those medicines now, not one out of ten."
Damn, if you don't save one, it doesn't matter at all.
Dr. Hu said goodbye and left. The Lu family seemed to be in darkness. Looking at the maid who was standing stupidly beside her, Lu Zhi ordered, "Go and wipe Susu's body, and continue to cool down."
"Miss, yes, but that is a plague." The servant girl said timidly.
Lu Zhi stared angrily, went up and slapped the maidservant, and slapped her face hard, "Master is sick, you dare to dislike him, believe it or not, I will kill you now."
The maid immediately got into the house.
A group of people stood in the courtyard, all of them were frowning. Jiang Hao looked at them and said, "Grand Lu, I know medicine, why don't you let me see Susu's condition."
I admire Jiang Hao and Mr. Lu very much, but how can he be better than a doctor if he knows medical skills? However, Mr. Lu nodded and said with a sad face: "Okay, let Mr. Jiang go in and have a look, maybe there is something wrong with him." Way to save my poor Su'er."
Jiang Hao walked into the room. At this moment, the room was dimly lit with oil lamps. Lu Su was lying on the bed with a blanket covering her body, revealing her collarbone so that the servant girl could wipe her body. His brows were furrowed, as if he was in great pain.
"Take out your lady's hand." Jiang Hao ordered the servant girl.
The maid carefully took out Lu Su's arm, but the quilt slipped off, revealing more skin. Jiang Hao put his hand on Su Su's wrist. The arm was tender and slender. Jiang Hao found a few red spots on his arm.
"Brother Jiang~~ I feel so uncomfortable, am I going to die?" Su Su looked at Jiang Hao and said with difficulty in a hoarse voice.
Jiang Hao shook his head immediately, "Don't worry, Brother Jiang is here, I won't let you die." Jiang Hao said, injecting a wave of spiritual power to help Susu relieve her pain.
The spiritual power entered the body, and Susu's headache was indeed slightly relieved. Jiang Hao opened his heavenly eyes and took a look at Susu's breath. There are already results.
typhus!
Stuffing Lu Su's arm back into the blanket, Jiang Hao smiled and said to her, "Don't worry, brother Jiang will cure you, I'll prescribe the medicine now."
Su Su blinked, eyes full of anticipation and hope.
After Jiang Hao left the room, Lu Gong, Lu Su, and Xiao He immediately surrounded him. Lu Zhi asked anxiously, "Master Jiang, how is my sister's diagnosis?"
Jiang Hao frowned and said, "I already know what the disease is. This disease is indeed a plague, but a type of typhus. Because the sick have many red spots on the body surface, it is called typhus."
Lu Gong was overjoyed, "That means we are saved, right? Just tell me what Young Master Jiang needs, and I'll get someone to prepare it quickly."
Xiao He next to him was also shocked. He knew that there was a plague these days, and the doctors were helpless against this plague. Those who got sick were quarantined, and then the patients were left to fend for themselves. Many of them were directly thrown into mass graves outside the city.
If Jiang Hao could really diagnose and cure this plague, it would be a big deal.
Jiang Haodao: "I will write a prescription, and you will take the medicine according to the prescription. This kind of medicine needs to be heated, and I will make the medicine myself when I come back."
"No problem no problem."
"Also, prepare brushes, inkstones, cinnabar powder, and yellow silk, and set up an altar in the courtyard. I want to pray to the gods for a descendant spirit. That is the key to curing Susu."
To be on the safe side, Jiang Hao planned to draw a healing talisman to keep everything safe. The Qin Dynasty had pens, inkstones but no paper. Jiang Hao planned to use silk cloth instead. Silk cloth was expensive and could be used as money in ancient times.
Lu Gong, Xiao He, and Lu Zhi were all stunned. Could it be that the other party wanted to do something wrong, but Lu Gong immediately agreed, "Okay, I'll let someone prepare."
Mr. Lu had just ordered his servants to prepare, when four or five officers in soap clothes walked in, the Yatou saw Xiao He at a glance, and immediately brought someone over to greet him: "I have seen Xiao Gongcao."
Xiao He is the meritorious officer of the county government, and the meritorious officer is also the assistant officer of the county magistrate. He is considered the second-in-command, and even a local. The county magistrate is from outside, so Xiao He's prestige in the county is even higher than that of the county magistrate.
"What are you doing here?" Xiao He asked.
"Doctor Hu just reported that there was a plague in the Lu family, so I brought someone over to have a look." Yatou said.
"What are you going to do?" Lu Zhi asked with a frown.
Yatou looked at the woman and said, "According to the county magistrate's regulations, anyone who has a plague in the city must be moved to a private camp outside the city. If the plague is allowed to spread, it may harm your family and even the people in the city."
Everyone knows that the Anminying camp outside the city is a place to wait for death, and how many corpses are carried out every day and thrown in the mass grave. If Susu is sent to the Anminying camp, she will really be left to fend for herself.
"uncle?"
Lu Zhi looked at Xiao He.
Xiao He waved his hand, "It's okay, you guys go back, I'll take care of things here."
The yatou looked at Xiao He, and cupped his hands again, "Follow Cao's orders."
Jiang Haoxin said, this yamen is slippery enough, since he obeyed the order, then the problem is Xiao He's, and it has nothing to do with him.
But they didn't leave, and the servants still stayed at Lu's house.
In the study, Jiang Hao wrote a prescription with silk cloth, and there were more than 30 medicinal ingredients on it. The servant just wanted to leave with it. Jiang Hao thought about it, and added more than a dozen medicinal ingredients. This era is different from later generations. Many The medicinal materials have not been recognized yet, and Jiang Hao doesn't know if they can get them together, so he simply writes more, so there will be a replacement at that time.
The servants brought brushes, inkstones and other things. Jiang Hao picked out a few brushes, an inkstone, and a piece of yellow silk. Jiang Hao asked them to cut them into palm-sized strips for easy use.
Several servants quickly bought a lot of medicines. Jiang Haohe found that Dr. Hu had followed him back. It turned out that the medicines were bought at his family’s pharmacy. As soon as Dr. Hu came in, he asked, "Xiao Gongcao, may I ask you?" Which doctor prescribed this medicine, this medicine is very strange."
Xiao He looked at Dr. Hu and didn't blame him for reporting to the yamen servant, because it was his responsibility. If he found a plague patient and didn't report it, his crime would be very serious.
"It was written by Mr. Jiang Haojiang. He is a Taoist. He has been studying and practicing with his master in the mountains before." Xiao He briefly introduced.
Taoism also has medical skills, and its achievements are not low. Doctors also have many exchanges with Taoism in this regard.
Doctor Hu immediately stepped forward and cupped his hands. Just as he was about to speak, Jiang Hao, who was dispensing medicine with his head down, immediately said: "The time is urgent now. I want to treat Susu as soon as possible. Doctor Hu will watch from the side first, and we will talk about it afterward."
Dr. Hu could only stand aside Nuonuo.
The medicinal materials are not complete, and there are really several medicinal materials that are missing. Fortunately, Jiang Hao prepared a pair of medicines and handed them to the housekeeper, saying: "Find a decocted medicine, decoct three bowls of water into a bowl of water, and bring it here .”
Just as the butler was about to pick it up, Dr. Hu stood up next to him and said with a shy smile, "I'm skilled at decocting medicine, why don't I come?"
Jiang Hao looked at him, "Okay, you go to decoction."
Dr. Hu happily took the medicine package, and followed the servants to the back kitchen.
