Chapter 163
Imperial physician: "It's not easy to take."

Li Mo: "Insect directly, take out one or two pieces, and then suture the wound."

The operation, this Huangpuxuan knows, it should be said that these few people who have been to Songjiang County know it.

But the imperial doctor didn't understand, so he hurriedly stopped him: "Young Master Li, absolutely not, this will kill you."

Li Mo raised his eyebrows: "If you don't try, how will you know if it will work?"

According to Huangpuxuan's mouth, this patient is a soldier stationed at the southwest border.

Since last year, it is not clear what exactly caused someone to be infected with Gu. Since it was not serious at the beginning, it was not taken seriously.

Gradually, the behavior of these Gu-infested soldiers became more and more strange, for example, when they fell asleep, they suddenly went crazy.

For example, when you are still practicing, you suddenly pick up the weapon in your hand and point it at your own people.

In the end, some people couldn't bear the pain caused by the Gu insects, and took their own lives with a knife.

Seeing the suffering of these soldiers after the outbreak of Gu poison with their own eyes, this attracted the attention of the upper management, and Huang Puxuan demanded a thorough investigation.

The military doctor found that they were not sick, but more like poisoning, but their ability was limited and they could not continue to study in depth.

Huangpuxuan ordered these soldiers to be sent back to the capital for treatment by the Tai Hospital, only to find out that these people were all infected by Gu.

So far, it is not clear how many people have been infected by the Gu, because it will take some time for the Gu insect to attack, so far, 150 people are known, and 30 of them have been tortured to death by the Gu poison.

Li Mo pondered for a long time. At first she thought it was just an ordinary patient, but unexpectedly it turned out to be a border guard. She couldn't just sit idly by.

Even if Huangpuxuan didn't give her money, she would take this task without hesitation.

Li Mo used to be a soldier, and he always had a special feeling for soldiers. A strong country must have a strong army. Without the day and night guards of border guards, there is no prosperity for the country, nor is it possible for the common people to live and work in peace and contentment.

Li Mo felt that the way of being caught by a gu was not as magical as in the legend, and that invisible killing was just a rumor.

It is believed that the person who lays Gu is often the person who poisons. This kind of Gu poison is put into the human body with the existing insects, using the human body as a breeding ground, absorbing human blood or brains, etc., and after inhaling, to achieve the purpose of killing people. Purpose.

This kind of poison may kill people invisible in ancient times, but it is impossible in modern times. After a CT scan, if there is anything you can't see, the criminal investigation will find it out for you in minutes.

This imperial doctor, surnamed Zhong, is an old man in his 60s. His hair and beard are all white. He looks like a fairy, but he is not arrogant. He is always very humble. , with even better medical skills, so he never looked down on anyone, including Li Mo.

Doctor Zhong looked at Li Mo: "Mr. Li, how can I cooperate with you?"

Li Mo: "Try cutting your fingers first, to see if you can lure the Gu worms out from your fingers."

Although I couldn't bear it, I still called the patient just now.

The young man's surname is Xia, and his name is Xia An. He is only 19 years old and has been a soldier for 5 years. He is a scout.

Hearing that Li Mo said that he wanted to cut off his fingers, he stretched out his hand without hesitation: "Cut it as you want, we will die like this."

Li Mo patted him on the shoulder and comforted him softly: "Don't worry, I won't let you die."

Huang Puxuan was standing quietly at the back, watching her speak softly and sweetly to another man, his mood suddenly became very bad, his face turned dark all of a sudden, Li Mo had never treated him so tenderly .

But Li Mo, who was the culprit, didn't know anything and was busy researching which hand to start with.

He didn't have a scalpel, so he had to use a dagger to sterilize it first, and then made a small cut on his finger. However, after half a day, nothing else came out of the blood in the porcelain bowl.

Imperial Physician Zhong frowned: "Mr. Li, it seems that this method will not work."

Li Mo sighed: "The only option is surgery."

Because I don't know how big the wound will be to find the bugs, so be prepared to operate on a large area.

Li Mo told all the things that needed to be operated on. This is the capital city, and Huangpuxuan is still a person of status. It is not difficult to prepare these things. Huangpuxuan said that they can be ready tomorrow.

Li Mo asked Huangpuxuan: "Huangpuxuan, can you show me the dead soldiers?"

Huangpuxuan didn't speak, just glanced at her, the meaning was very clear, what are you going to do.

Imperial Physician Zhong glanced at Li Mo, saw her open eyes, and said, "They have all been buried, does Mr. Li have any other ideas?"

Li Mo: "I want to dissect the corpse first to determine where these bugs are hiding. When operating on a patient, I can choose the key place instead of blindly performing surgery."

Physician Zhong objected: "It's already buried in the ground, so don't bother me."

He is only modest in his medical skills, and he is still a very traditional old man in his bones.

Huangpuxuan didn't even think about it, and said directly: "Okay!"

The boss nodded, but do the others dare to say no?
The place where the corpse was buried was not far away. Dong Zhe and his colleagues took the iron handles and let them dig.

Before digging, Li Mo bowed to the grave, which is a respect for the dead.

Before the coffin was opened, Li Mo looked at Huangpu Xuan with a half-smile: "His Royal Highness Xuan, do you want to avoid it?"

Huangpuxuan didn't even give her a look: "No need, continue."

Xiao Mian, I hope your face will not change in a while.

The coffin was pried open, and the gas rushed out in an instant. It was sour and smelly, and someone squatted aside and vomited immediately.

Among them, there are people from other courtyards. They have never been on the battlefield, let alone saw the corpse buried for half a month.

Those who have been on the battlefield, such as Qiuyu, have seen corpses no matter how ugly they are, but they have never seen such disgusting corpses.

It was only half a month after the burial, and the weather during this time was very cold, so it was impossible for it to have been corrupted like this.

It couldn't be called a corpse, but a pile of rotten flesh.

The only ones who didn't change their expressions were Li Mo and Huangpuxuan.

Imperial Physician Zhong endured the nausea, and went forward to investigate puzzledly: "How could this happen?"

Li Mo: "It may be related to those Gu worms."

The existing equipment is very little, and there are no plastic gloves, but Huangpuxuan is rich and powerful, and there are real leather gloves. Li Mo doesn't know what kind of leather these are, but they are quite practical.

After the smell faded slightly, Li Mo stepped forward to examine it carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more he frowned, and his heart ached for this soldier, how much torture he had suffered before he died.

In ancient times, there was no advanced equipment, and it was impossible to take pictures of corpses. Li Mo could only carefully search for them with his hands.

The deceased did not have a complete piece of flesh, which can be described as rotten. Li Mo scraped through a pile of rotten flesh, and finally found those tiny bugs.

It's just that the bugs are dead, and it seems that they really depend on living people to survive.

They are different from maggots, which are smaller.

If you don't pay attention, you really can't find it. The brain and the heart are the most, there are ten of them, and they are all in the blood vessels.

This can be troublesome, these two places are not suitable for surgery.

Three strips were also found on his neck. If I remember correctly, when Xia An's Gu poison took hold, he also had it on his neck.

Li Mo thinks that among the three places, it is safest to choose neck surgery.

Huangpuxuan narrowed his eyes slightly. Under such a disgusting environment, Li Mo took it very seriously. His brows were extraordinarily quiet and soft, with an involuntary charm that made him want to get close.

Imperial Physician Zhong: "Master Li, is this a Gu worm?"

Li Mo: "It should be, I want to take it back to have a look, but the bug is dead, I don't know if it can be researched."

Li Mo put the bugs away, looked up at Huangpuxuan: "Huangpuxuan, it looks like the border guards are in danger."

Huangpuxuan's voice was deep: "This king knows."

Li Mo didn't plan to go back to Prince Xuan's Mansion today, hoping to find out the antidote one day sooner, and help these soldiers get rid of their pain one day sooner.

Li Mo didn't come back, and Huangpuxuan didn't want to go back either, but Qiu Yu was running around in a hurry outside.

Just now the steward sent someone over, saying that those 10 beauties in the backyard would never leave Prince Xuan's mansion, saying that if they entered Prince Xuan's mansion, they would belong to Prince Xuan.

If they really wanted to drive them away, they would hang themselves in the palace with a piece of white silk.

Huangpuxuan didn't let them return empty-handed, it was not their wish to enter Prince Xuan's mansion, and they were compensated accordingly, hoping that they could find a good family after they left.

But the beauties didn't want to leave, they came in with great difficulty, and there was no hope at all when they left.

The butler had no choice but to come over and ask the prince for instructions.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Huangpuxuan's face did not change, and he said coldly: "Tell the steward, as they wish, each of them will have a white silk, and after they die, tell their family members that their daughter has a sudden illness." , the treatment is ineffective and passed away.”

Qiu Yu: "Yes."

Qiu Yu looked at the prince and never left Li Mo's eyes, and sighed, thinking that the prince was the one who was the most bewitched.

...

Li Mo didn't even know there was such a play, she and Doctor Zhong were studying those bugs.

This worm looks similar to an ordinary worm, except that it is smaller and white in color.

The problem is that when these little bugs attack, you can see a big bump on the neck.

There were no chemical research equipment in ancient times, so Li Mo couldn't detect the insect's cells and serum, and after looking at it for a while, he didn't see anything unusual.

I asked Doctor Zhong, and he said that he had never seen such a disgusting insect, but it was mentioned in medical books, so he didn't know the specifics.

However, a quarter of an hour later, the worms that were lying on the table just now were nothing but a pile of white ash.

Doctor Zhong and Li Mo looked at each other, what's going on, the bugs that were already dead turned into white ash.

Imperial Physician Zhong was very puzzled: "Could it be that Gu worms become like this when they leave the human body?"

Li Mo: "It's possible. When we take out the live worm tomorrow, we must be careful. If the worm really dies, it will not help us at all in the follow-up research on the antidote."

Physician Zhong was full of anxiety: "Then what should I do?"

Li Mo: "Prepare some medicinal materials first, I will prepare it and see if it works."

After speaking, he wrote a large sheet of paper and handed it to Huangpuxuan: "Huangpuxuan, I hope you can prepare these herbs for me as soon as possible."

Without further ado, Huangpuxuan left it to Qiu Yu and the others to handle it.

Imperial Physician Zhong looked at Li Mo and Huangpuxuan with a gossip look. What is the identity of this kid? He dared to call King Xuan by his name, and even dared to order King Xuan to do this or that, but King Xuan didn't say a word. dare not say.

Regarding the gossip about Grand Doctor Zhong, the two parties were indifferent.

One afternoon, Li Mo and Imperial Physician Zhong were working in the pharmacy. When it was time for dinner at night, Huangpuxuan came over to take a look, and saw that the pharmacy had been redecorated, with strange furnishings. A lot of bottles and cans don't know what they contain.

That night, Li Mo and Dr. Zhong were busy until very late. Li Mo admired Dr. Zhong's profound medical skills and meticulous professionalism.

Physician Zhong admired Li Mo's boldness and super-high medical skills. It really is a building outside a green hill outside the mountain, and the blue is better than the blue.

The two complement each other, and in the end the two look at each other and smile, whether they can succeed depends on tomorrow's fight.

Huangpuxuan's work efficiency is very high, and the next morning, everything needed for the operation has been prepared.

Li Mo and Doctor Zhong called Xia An to the temporary operating room.

Li Mo: "Xia An, now I need to perform an operation on you, which is to cut an opening in your neck and take out the worms inside."

Xia An was silent for a moment: "Then will I die?"

Li Mo: "No!"

The surroundings were quiet for a while, Xia An suddenly started rambling: "I am 19 years old, I am not married yet, my mother still expects me to marry a wife, since I was poisoned by Gu, I am doomed not to go back.

I can only be an unfilial son. Fortunately, there are two younger brothers in the family, and the incense will never be broken. "

Xia An looked at Huangpuxuan: "My lord, if I die, I beg you to send back all the money I have saved over the years to my mother, and say that my son is unfilial and unable to provide for her until the end of her life."

Then he said to Li Mo: "Come on, isn't it just to open a mouth on my neck? Then come on, maybe I can still live. Even if I want to die, I should die when I go to battle to kill the enemy. How aggrieved to be poisoned to death like this!"

As a soldier, from the moment they enter the barracks, they have already prepared for life and death. They can accept the fact that they are about to die, but they can't help but feel sad.

It is said that raising children can prevent old age, but in the end it is destined that the white-haired person will give the black-haired person.

No one is not afraid of death, especially the feeling of knowing in advance and waiting quietly for death to come, it is like cutting flesh with a blunt knife, the pain is multiple times, and death is so aggrieved.

Li Mo: "Don't worry, you won't die, lie down on the bed now."

Xia An was very obedient and lay obediently on the bed.

Li Mo said softly: "Before the operation, I will give you an anesthetic, that is, Mabosan. You will fall into a deep sleep. You won't feel anything during the operation. When you wake up after the operation, nothing will happen to you." Gone."

Xia An: "Alright, doctor, just do it."

Although Xia An had put life and death aside, she was still very nervous about unknown things. Lying on the hospital bed, her heart beat faster and her palms were sweaty.

Physician Zhong handed him a bowl of specially prepared anesthetics: "Drink it all."

After drinking a bowl of medicine, Xia An didn't feel anything unusual, but after a stick of incense, he began to feel dizzy, and after another half stick of incense passed, his eyes became foggy and he began to feel drowsy.

Xia An was not completely asleep at this time, he was unconscious, his limbs were numb, but he was clearly still conscious.

He wanted to open his eyes and tell them that he hadn't passed out and he still felt, but Li Mo had already stabbed him in the neck.

A quarter of an hour later, Xia An passed out completely.

Li Mo is the chief surgeon, and Zhong Taiyi is the assistant.

Half an hour later, Li Mo saw bugs swimming in the blood vessels in his neck.

Although this bug is small, it moves very quickly.

Li Mo tried to grab this slippery little thing with pliers, but it moved sharply, as if aware of the danger, and moved a little faster. He was afraid that it would continue to swim to both ends of the blood vessel, which meant that the wound that was about to be opened would be broken. Bigger, Xia An's life is more dangerous.

Li Mo calmed down, and when the bug came back again, she accurately grabbed it out with pliers, and quickly put it into the small bottle.

Li Mo breathed a sigh of relief, and she checked Xia An's condition again, and after confirming that there was nothing serious, she used gut to sew up his neck.

...

Physician Zhong looked at Li Mo in surprise. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes and had participated in the whole process, he would not have believed that he could have survived a knife on someone's neck.

Inside the bottle was the solution that Li Mo and Imperial Physician Zhong had researched yesterday. After the worms were put in, it was guaranteed that they would not die within two days.

In the following time, they tested different herbal medicines on the Gu worms, some were directly let them smell, some were ground into powder, blended into a paste, and then rubbed on the worms.

In the future, records will be made according to the response of the insects to the drug.

After another half a night of experimentation, she finally discovered the worm's favorite medicinal material.

Physician Zhong looked excited: "So, can we formulate an antidote?"

Li Mo also couldn't hide the excitement in his heart: "Theoretically yes, we will speed up our pace next."

It's a pity that Dr. Zhong is getting old, and he really can't hold on in the second half of the night, so Li Mo is left alone in the pharmacy.

Huangpuxuan sat beside her quietly reading a book, and stayed with her all the time. In the room, the air was unusually quiet, as if the years had been peaceful.

Li Mo was very focused on his research, even though he knew that there was a gaze fixed on him for a long time, he was not distracted.

When it was almost dawn, due to bowing his head for a long time, Li Mo's neck was so sore that he couldn't help raising his head and wanted to pinch his neck, but his hands were full of herbal juice, so think about it or forget it.

Huangpuxuan got up silently, walked behind Li Mo, touched her fair neck with warm palms: "But it's uncomfortable here?"

Li Mo froze and reached out to knock his hand off.

Huangpuxuan said indifferently: "Don't move."

After finishing speaking, he gave Li Mo a massage, but this time he didn't hear words that made people gnash his teeth.

Li Mo still wanted to refuse, but after pinching this man twice, she felt much more comfortable. After thinking about it, forget it. If you want to be a coolie, you can continue to be a coolie.

It is not so easy to develop medicines. Although we know what herbs the bugs like, the purpose is not to kill the bugs, but to develop a medicine that can lure the bugs out.

The ultimate goal is that after people take the medicine, they can be used to generate immunity, so that bugs can no longer invade their bodies, and the lives of soldiers at the border can be guaranteed.

No one knows when the worm was put into the body, and who put it in, and whether there is an inner ghost among them.

So what she has to do is not only to get rid of the Gu insects for those who have been infected, but also to prevent those who have not been infected, which is equivalent to a modern vaccination.

Huangpuxuan pressed her shoulders all the time, Li Mo felt comfortable, but at the same time began to fear, could he have misunderstood something?
