Poison Doctor Roaming the Martial World
Chapter 95 The Epidemic in Lucheng
Among flying animals, falcons are at the top of the bird food chain, and gyrfalcons should rightfully be called the kings of the skies. Little White was raised by Yang Jianwu and is twice the size of an average eagle, so the gyrfalcon can only acknowledge its second-place position and be relegated to the back.
Xiao Bai was very fast, and flying in a straight line at high altitude, the two arrived in Lucheng that evening.
"Xiaobai, you and Haidongqing go back together. Someone will come to pick us up in a few days."
Little White is a large creature that has always lived in the forests surrounding Cloud City, where it doesn't have to worry about being harmed. Now that it has arrived in Lu City and is very close to the city, it would be bad if it were discovered.
Yang Jianwu coaxed them gently, but the eagle and the falcon stood upright and motionless, ignoring everything she said. They only had one condition: if they wanted to come, they would come together; if they wanted to leave, they would leave together.
Yang Jianwu didn't want to waste time on this matter. "Then you should find a safe place to hide and be very careful when hunting."
Little White nuzzled Yang Jianwu's head to indicate that it understood, and then flew into the mountains with the gyrfalcon.
Lucheng, a city formed by water, is now dotted with small boats that were once ubiquitous. For the past two days, it has been drizzling, making the entire city appear as if shrouded in mist.
Yang Jianwu and Mo Ye toured the city. The streets, which should have been bustling with traffic, only had two rice and noodle shops still open, and most of the pedestrians looked listless.
When Yang Jianwu entered the city, she secretly activated the automatic object recognition function of her space. Along the way, it only suggested a few commonly used medicinal herbs. When she approached a well, the space announced a long list of poisonous creatures, just like when she encountered Puyang Xuan being poisoned last time.
Another long list of names. So the well is poisoned? This epidemic seems to be more serious than it appears. No wonder the passersby are so listless; the water source has been tampered with, and those so-called epidemic patients are just poisoned!
"Brother Ye, the well is poisoned. The plague in Lucheng was deliberately caused by someone."
Yang Jianwu wasn't interested in who poisoned her; she was happy as long as she could save patients and increase her medical points. But now, Mo Ye was her temporary husband, and the Emperor of Dongli had ordered him to come from Anshun to assist Prince Rui. She didn't believe there wasn't a conspiracy.
"You mean the people are poisoned? Not infected with a plague!"
"Correct."
Mo Ye definitely believed Yang Jianwu's judgment, and it was precisely because of this belief that he felt a chill in his heart. Although his father didn't particularly like him, he still maintained a certain facade. Was he really going to kill him?
Does the Emperor know that this is not an epidemic?
If he knew the truth, why would he ask me to help? Was he going to be poisoned like a plague patient, gradually weakening so that he could eliminate me so quietly?!
If he didn't know, whose conspiracy was behind the plague in Lucheng...?
Seeing that Mo Ye looked unwell, Yang Jianwu didn't know how to comfort him. There were some things he needed to figure out for himself. Even ordinary people would scheme against each other; otherwise, Jing Nan wouldn't have been hurt time and time again.
The most ruthless family is the imperial family. This child lacked love since childhood, which is why he values the meager amount of love Emperor Dongli showed him so much. If it were her, she would have crushed it and thrown it in the trash long ago.
The most important thing right now is to detoxify. He stepped forward and stopped a man who was walking in a hurry and asked, "Young man, I heard there was an epidemic in Lucheng. How is the situation now?"
The man wiped the sweat from his brow. "Young lady, are you from out of town?"
"Yes."
The man was getting anxious. "Miss, don't go any further. You'd better leave quickly."
Seeing the man about to leave, Yang Jianwu quickly asked, "Please wait a moment, sir. I am a doctor and would like to ask where the patients are now?"
The man sized up Yang Jianwu, hardly believing that such a beautiful young lady was a doctor. He then told her the truth: "Prefect Feng has ordered the patients in Lucheng to be concentrated in the northern suburbs, so the remaining people in the city can barely make ends meet. However, this epidemic is fierce, and people are being transferred to the north of the city every day. We don't know when it will end."
Yang Jianwu took out an antidote pill and gave it to the man. "Young man, this is an antidote pill. It was formulated based on the current epidemic. Here's one for you. Dissolve it in water when you get home and take it with your family. It can effectively prevent infection."
The man excitedly accepted the antidote pills, bowing repeatedly. "Thank you, young lady! My wife had a high fever this morning, and I was worried she might catch the plague. I went to fetch a doctor, but most of the doctors in the city are concentrated in the north, and a few are offering free clinics in front of the prefect's mansion. It's impossible to find a doctor. These pills of yours will save her life!"
Yang Jianwu took out another pill, "Let your wife take one by herself. It will cure her illness if she is sick, and strengthen her body if she is not sick."
"Oh, okay, young lady, thank you so much." The man happily accepted the pills, carefully tucked them into his sleeve, and hurriedly said goodbye before rushing home.
Seeing that Mo Ye had recovered, Yang Jianwu said, "Brother Ye, don't overthink it. Perhaps His Majesty is unaware of this matter. Right now, we need to resolve the poisoning issue as soon as possible, as quite a few people have already died. Moreover, the longer the poison remains in the body, the greater the harm. Even if someone survives, their body will be very weak afterward."
"I was being dramatic. After all these years, I should have gotten used to it by now. Let's go to the northern suburbs of the city now."
In the northern suburbs of the city, the air was thick with the smell of medicine as soon as you got close. Yang Jianwu's knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine was still lacking. If the Ghost Doctor were here, he could determine the ingredients just by the smell. She would have to rely on a cheat device...
If you look closely at the herbal decoctions being simmered, you'll see that they are all based on formulas containing Atractylodes lancea.
Atractylodes lancea can "ward off all evil spirits." During the SS epidemic in Country C, Atractylodes lancea was used to fumigate the air for disinfection. Many hospitals across the country used Atractylodes lancea fumigation to disinfect different areas of the hospital, proving that it was effective.
Traditional Chinese medicine is truly amazing. Without advanced instruments and equipment, the efficacy of medicines is determined by people testing them on themselves...
Could it be that this doctor didn't install the wrong system, and that fate brought her here, tempting her to study medicine with medical points so she could save more lives? If it really were exchanged for martial arts or justice points, she'd probably be fighting people every day… She might even dare to unify the entire Cloud Sea Continent just to increase her martial arts points; Yang Jianwu believed she was capable of doing that…
Many people lived in simple tents. Several doctors moved between the tents, with apprentices following behind, carefully taking notes. Depending on the patient's condition, they would add or remove one qian of which ingredient. The daily tasks were numerous and trivial, and the research results had not yet yielded any results.
"If it were an epidemic, Prefect Feng's arrangement would be considered prudent. Unfortunately, someone poisoned the medicine. The doctor's analysis of the medicinal materials was slightly inappropriate, and the resulting decoction was a death sentence."
Yang Jianwu sighed, "It's a blessing for the people of Lucheng to have such a good governor. It's just a shame that the person who poisoned them was so ruthless!"
