doctor knife in hand

Everyone in the capital is looking forward to the rainstorm passing away as soon as possible.

Especially in disaster areas, the drinking water can be boiled from the rain, but the dry firewood can't last long.

Some of them were not well stored, they were not transported in time, and they got wet and became unusable.

There are also medicines, gauze and other things that stop bleeding. Although they are stored in the driest place, the humidity brought by continuous rain will still make them gradually lose their effectiveness.

Sanqi was so worried that he wanted to use firewood to drive away the damp, but the shortage of charcoal made him helpless.

The house leak happened to rain all night, disaster after disaster, many people are wondering why such a disaster befalls them.

Could it be that heaven really does not give a way out?

It seems that these questionings condensed too much thought power. In the afternoon, the rain gradually became smaller, and the sound of splashing turned into a drizzling. The sky with thick clouds finally loosened, and the sky became brighter and brighter.

In the evening, a beam of sunlight finally penetrated the clouds and reflected in the sky, ending the rapid rainstorm.

This is the brightest moment of the day today.

People's eyes were finally full of hope again, and some even cheered and left the room, looking at the clear sky.

"Doctor Lu."

"Doctor Lu is here."

"Doctor Lu, where did you go last night?"

"Doctor Lu must have something important to do, why ask so many questions."

"The weather is fine, it's finally over, hehe."

……

The joyful greetings in the yard made Lu Jin couldn't help but smile on his face. People are like this. No matter how much pain there is, if you can get a little respite, a little luck, you can regain your confidence and continue to face life. Be full of hope, even if this luck is insignificant compared to the disaster.

Lu Jin nodded one by one to greet her back, until she walked into a temporarily repaired room, where many famous doctors gathered together, and two of Lu Jin's apprentices, people from the People's Hospital, Dr. Song Jiajun Yu and Dr. Wang etc. These are the people responsible for one or more of the steps in healing.

Compared with the ignorant people outside, the faces of the people here are all sad.

Because they know that the cessation of the heavy rain is not the end of all suffering, it is very likely to be the beginning of another disaster, and that disaster is even more terrifying and more desperate.

They all looked at Lu Jin, hoping that this young doctor who always performed miracles could give people hope again.

Time was running out, so Lu Jin didn't waste any extra nonsense, but took out a stack of paper that was close to her body, and it was densely written on it.

He asked everyone to distribute it, and said: "This is a set of pre-epidemic prevention, epidemic isolation and treatment plans that I have summed up today. The time is relatively short, the writing is not detailed, and the consideration is not thorough enough, but it is roughly the same. .I asked all the literate people in the British government to copy the reputation, and everyone has a copy. Everyone, if you have anything to add, please bring it up immediately, and it will be implemented immediately after an hour."

The handwriting in everyone's hands is different, but the same is neat, and they read it quickly.

Lu Jin's method is based on prevention, and the purpose of the whole article is to keep it clean.

Lu Jin spoke in great detail, covering almost everything about basic necessities of life, including how to dispose of excrement.

It's just that someone was puzzled and asked, "Why use caustic soda to treat excrement?"

Fire soda is quicklime. Quicklime reacts with water to produce calcium hydroxide. Strong alkali has a strong bactericidal effect. It is the best way to treat microorganisms in excrement.

What Lu Jin could think of was quicklime, but after asking around, he didn't know about it. Later, in his description, a servant came up with the name, which was not easy.

"Not only to treat excrement, but also put caustic soda into the well water everywhere. Together with the water, it can kill germs and prevent them from entering the mouth and causing diseases. Of course, the water needs to stand still after being brought up, and then boiled before drinking. But I am afraid that some people are unwilling or too lazy to boil water, so they drink it directly. Although the water with caustic soda will cause physical discomfort, at least it is not easy to get disease."

"I see. I always thought this thing was used to build a house. It turns out that it can kill...um, germs?"

After getting in touch with Lu Jin for a long time, the modern medical vocabulary he often talked about gradually spread to others. Although they didn't know what it looked like, they always understood that it was an invisible and intangible tiny poison.

"Yes, so people have to find a lot of caustic soda. If possible, sprinkle some on all the dirty places in the streets and alleys. There is no harm." Lu Jin said.

Everyone looked at it one by one, and someone suggested: "According to the past, mosquitoes and the like will still come and go, not to mention that after the heavy rain, the water pools everywhere are suitable for their breeding. Doctor Lu said that such insects are the most likely to spread germs. When sprinkling fire and lye, sprinkle realgar at the same time, although it cannot be completely eradicated, it may be good to drive some insects and rats away."

"Yes."

"Maybe make some medicine, smear or wear it with you, and take precautions."

Everyone talked to each other and brainstormed, and an hour passed quickly.

In the end, they sorted out a perfect plan.

After finding paper and pen, everyone copied a few copies, which can be distributed to those who need it, including the ministers of the court and the current emperor.

However, there was a sudden noise outside.

They went out to have a look, but saw the crowd going in one direction one after another. Some of their expressions were panic, some were at a loss, some were curious... Various emotions were intertwined, and the crowd was excited.

"Has it started to burn?" Doctor Yu asked.

What to burn?After being slightly taken aback, they suddenly understood.

"It's the unclaimed corpses left in the open space yesterday."

"As soon as the rainwater soaks, it will immediately rot, so it's better to burn it before the mosquitoes gather."

"It's just, alas..."

After all, it is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, if it is not a time of disaster, no one will do it.

"If you have nothing to do, go and have a look, at least give it a ride."

The ground is still damp, and the puddles formed by the rain still haven’t disappeared, but on the open space where the corpses are placed neatly, a firewood pile has been set up on the four corners, and a soldier holding a torch stands next to the firewood pile, and the smell of kerosene The wind blew away, and the preliminary preparations for incineration had been completed.

The heavy rain came suddenly yesterday, and it was too late to resettle the living, so these dead people let them be watered by the rain. Now the corpses have swelled up after being soaked in water, making them look even more terrifying.

Soldiers surrounded the open space from afar to prevent the crowd from approaching.

Song Heng led the generals and the commanding envoys stood aside. His Excellency Fu Yin wrote an obituary overnight, and today he walked in front of the people and explained the reasons for doing this in a sad tone.

The corpses left here are all uncared for. Although people looked a little excited, they had nothing to do with themselves after all, they only said that they committed crimes.

After Mr. Fu Yin finished speaking, someone suddenly shouted: "Look, it's the masters of Huguo Temple!"

"There is also Huai'en Temple, that is Master Liaowu!"

"Zen Master Xuan Bei from Huguo Temple is also here."

I saw two Zen masters wearing cassocks, holding a staff in one hand and a rosary in the other, leading their respective monks past the crowd and soldiers, standing on one side of the open space, facing the corpse and the four fires.The monks of Huguo Temple and Huai'en Temple stood in a row in front of their respective Zen masters, regardless of the dirt on the ground and puddles, and sat on the ground with their feet crossed.

"Is this to save these dead souls?"

"Master is compassionate."

When the two Zen masters came in this way, the people who originally felt inhumane with resistance suddenly became quiet.

People don't know whether it is useful for monks to save lives, but doing so can bring comfort to people. They feel that these people who died in vain are really reincarnated under Buddhism, and it is not so unacceptable to cremate their bodies.

It was really beyond Song Heng's expectation that the two masters would come, but as long as it can appease the people and make people less excited, it is also a good thing.

After Huguo Temple and Huai'en Temple were ready, Master Xuan Bei nodded to Song Heng, so Song Heng raised his hand and waved it down neatly.

Soldiers holding torches instantly lit the pyre.

Then, at Lu Jin's request, a few soldiers, wearing boots, long gloves, masks covering the mouth and nose, and hats covering the hair, lifted up the corpses fully armed and threw them one by one into the fire.

There are also soldiers in the same dress who add firewood and add kerosene before the firewood burns out.

Under the firelight, there was the sound of monks reciting scriptures. The sound of Sanskrit was heavy, and the surrounding people unknowingly lowered their heads and prayed together.

They may not know each other. They are still alive in the same disaster, but these people are already dead. At this moment, they are willing to send their own prayers.

There were hundreds of corpses in the open space, and the burning continued until midnight.

In the light of the flames, people suddenly and belatedly realized that if the unclaimed corpses were burned, what about the ones that had already been taken away?

Lu Jin approached Song Heng to ask this question as well. He said, "It's best not to keep them. Rotten corpses are the most likely to nourish germs, and mosquitoes and rodents like to eat them the most. They are simply hotbeds of infectious diseases."

Lu Jin emphasized many times that the source must be extinguished as much as possible, and Song Heng also understood, but...

"Ajin, I don't have an imperial decree." Song Heng said with a wry smile: "One's whole life is ultimately to keep a face. If the body is cremated, there will be no whole body after death. What are you talking about? The common people will not be willing. Those officials Even more unwilling, and with my own strength, Ah Jin... I can't fight against them."

The moment he said yesterday that there was no imperial decree, he clearly saw the commanders, and the commander breathed a sigh of relief.

The cremation of corpses is too great a cognitive challenge for the world, not to mention that the epidemic did not occur, and people are taking chances.

Song Heng told Lu Jin that he was helpless for the first time. He was very sad, and said in a low voice: "The emperor is critically ill, and the prince can't make a decision yet. We can only wait for the people to go out for funerals one after another."

The scene of the Taihe Hall that day was vivid in his memory, and Song Heng soon understood.

Now the news in the palace has not been spread, and I dare not spread it, for fear of turmoil in the world.

Lu Jin opened his mouth, and suddenly lost his temper: "It seems that I can only find a way to develop penicillin."

Song Heng's heart moved when he heard this, "Can penicillin treat the epidemic?"

Lu Jin said: "It should be effective, it depends on which kind of bacteria caused it, but it is more or less useful. But no matter what, the dead body should not be left in the city. Let the funeral be carried out as soon as possible."

Song Heng said yes, he can try this matter, but seeing that Lu Jin didn't look too flustered, he suddenly asked, "Did you think of a way to make penicillin?"

Speaking of this, Lu Jin immediately cheered up. He shared his guess with Song Heng and said, "I don't know if Song Huai has returned, but I hope Tangshan will not be affected."
