I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 95
Li Ran felt that something was wrong, and he diagnosed more than a dozen patients in a row.It was also found that most of the patients in the medical center had the syndrome of the combination of three yangs, and the syndrome of the combination of three yangs was rooted in the stagnation of Shaoyang.

And the reason why Shaoyang meridians turn stagnant yang into heat is mostly from the inside and the outside. Therefore, Li Ran can assert right away that this is definitely not a symptom of external evils!
If it is invaded by external evils, first offend the exterior and then enter the interior.Instead of going directly into the heat.

Now these patients, although the symptoms vary in severity, they all have a heavy pulse, which shows that the disease is inside, not outside.Occasionally, a person with a large and profuse pulse is a symptom of entering the interior and transforming heat.Moreover, the severe symptoms of the abdomen and body are particularly obvious. Obviously, these patients are actually caused by the pathogenic factors in the body, and the qi and yang turn into heat and cannot be relieved.

To put it simply, these diseases should be caused by eating!

After some more diagnosis, Li Ran gradually had some clues.

Li Ran was vaguely aware that these illnesses did not look like diseases at all, but rather were caused by food poisoning!
Thinking of this, Li Ran couldn't help trembling, and hurriedly raised his head to look at the busy doctors in the clinic, and saw that they didn't have any protective equipment on their faces, not even a veil, and the patients inside and outside the clinic There are many people who cough and wheeze.

If it is really a disease, once there is a phenomenon of human-to-human transmission, how can these doctors and servants not be afraid at this time?
"Husband, it's finished, look."

At this time, Ji Le piled up the prepared prescriptions on the table, two copies in total.

"The one on the left is for patients with mild symptoms. The medicine in the clinic is very gentle. It uses Bupleuri as the main prescription, supplemented by clearing heat and detoxifying."

"The one on the right is the prescription for the seriously ill. It contains several strong medicines such as coriander and eucalyptus. These things are rarely used on weekdays, so they are currently in short supply. If it is an ordinary medical center, it will definitely take it at once. Not so much. Most of the dead today are because of the lack of these medicines, so..."

While talking, Ji Le picked up several prescriptions from the table.

The scale of the medical clinic here is already one of the best in Zhengyi City.But even so, if they still don't have the medicinal materials needed by critically ill patients, let alone other medical centers.

"Heat-clearing and detoxifying?..."

"This... is really weird."

Li Ran carefully looked at the prescriptions in Ji Le's hands. Regardless of mild or severe illness, the medicinal properties of the medicinal materials used were mainly to clear away heat and detoxify, and then supplemented with strengthening the body, or supplemented with attacking the fortifications.

"eccentric?"

Ji Le looked at him incomprehensibly and asked.

Just listen to Li Ran said:
"The Yellow Emperor has a saying: The five epidemics are all about dyeing, regardless of size, and the symptoms are similar."

"Diseases must be transmitted from person to person, and the symptoms of the disease should be similar. But the symptoms of these patients can't be transmitted from person to person? Secondly, although the symptoms are very similar, the cause... It seems that the disease is not the only one. lead to."

"What's more, why did this disease suddenly break out overnight? This is obviously too strange."

"In addition, the diseased air is caused by the dislocation of yin and yang, and the misalignment of cold and heat. However, the weather in Zheng this year can be said to be favorable, with the cold and heat being equal. Where did the diseased air come from?"

Whether it was the disease, or the prescriptions prescribed by these doctors, or the speed of the onset, Li Ran couldn't believe that this would be a disease!
Hearing this, Ji Le couldn't help frowning and said:

"Husband means... this is not a disease?"

Li Ran shook his head silently, but did not say anything clearly.

Then, he plunged into the crowd of patients and began to check the pulse. After checking all the patients inside and outside the hospital, he immediately gave them the prescriptions on the table one by one according to the severity of the illness, and asked them to Return home first, take medicine on time, and do not gather in the medical hall to avoid unnecessary panic.

Of course, Li Ran couldn't make an absolutely correct judgment just through a field visit to a medical clinic.

What if it's survivor bias?As the most famous cognitive deviation in later generations, Li Ran couldn't help but think that maybe this medical center might really be an isolated case, and there might be more serious patients who couldn't enter the medical center at all?
So, for three consecutive days, he walked the streets and alleys, shuttling back and forth between large and small medical clinics.This Zheng Yi said that it is not a small thing, but all the medical clinics were stunned by him.

However, the more he saw the disease, the more he shuddered.

This is definitely not a disease, but a mass food poisoning incident!

The reason is simple. Plague must be contagious, but this time the virus is not contagious. He has been extremely tired for the past few days, and his body has suddenly become weaker. It is logical that this is the best opportunity for external evils to take advantage of it. But to this day, he is still unscathed and shows no signs of illness at all.

There are also those doctors and servants in the medical center. Although a small number of them are also infected, most of them have never shown any signs of infection.

In other words, the menacing disease in Zheng Guo's capital this time is definitely not caused by the disease, there must be some other reason!
"If we follow the current speed of treatment, can we save all these patients?"

Ji Le couldn't bear to see those people who were suffering from illnesses, and now she only wanted to cure them all.

Li Ran looked at her and said softly:
"Don't worry, we will be able to cure them all."

While the two were talking, Sun Wu and Xiaoyi hurried back from the outside. Seeing the sweat on their foreheads, Li Ran concluded that they must have gained something this time.

Sure enough, the moment the two of them spoke was a very important clue.

"According to my husband's instructions, Owl Yi and I have been tracking the range of activities of the infected patients for the past few days. According to the patient statistics of several major medical centers in the city, most of the infected patients this time are concentrated in the west of the city. Although there are some patients in the south of the city, but The number is not large. In addition, there are almost no people infected with the disease in the east and north of the city. This time, the disease seems to have only broken out in the west of the city, and it seems that there is no tendency to spread at all!"

Sun Wu also noticed something was wrong, and there was surprise in his eyes.

In fact, this is not difficult to understand. After all, the so-called disease must spread on a large scale. It happened once in Qi State a few years ago, and Sun Wu still remembers it fresh.

That time, the disease was like a scourge, it swept through dozens of villages in less than three days, and even the nearby cities were all affected, with countless dead and tragic scenes.

However, Zheng Yi's disease this time, as he himself said, not only did not show signs of large-scale spread.Even its disease trends appear to be extremely abnormal.

Isn't there anything weird about it?
Hearing what Sun Wu said, Li Ran felt more confident in his heart.He suspected early on that the illness in the whole city was caused by human beings, but now that there was news about Sun Wu, it was almost a certainty.

"Okay! You two continue to go to the west of the city, and you must send someone to monitor the situation of each well!"

"well?"

Ji Le frowned slightly, showing a puzzled face.

"This disease is really strange. If it is not a disease, it can poison so many people in a short period of time... Poisoning the well is the most likely scenario."

After Li Ran's voice fell, his eyes became sharp for a moment.

"There is no river in the city of Zhengyi, and the people in the city rely on wells for food, and because of the higher terrain in the west of the city, the underground undercurrent will inevitably converge to the south of the city, which is lower in the terrain, which also causes a small number of people in the south of the city to be poisoned. .”

"As for the east and north of the city, there is a river passing through the east gate, so the people in the city go to the river to get water for convenience, so the number of people who drink well water is actually a small number, so naturally they will not be poisoned. And The north of the city is where the palace is, and most of the nobles live here. But now there are not many people who are infected in the north of the city, which means...the poisoner may live in the north of the city. "

"promise!"

After listening to Li Ran's analysis, Sun Wu and Xiaoyi walked west of the city without any hesitation.

Ji Le looked at the backs of the two, then at Li Ran's firm eyes, and said with a smile:
"Hey, my husband is really amazing!"
