Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 818 Temporary recovery
  As the saying goes, after a major disaster, there must be a major epidemic. In fact, after a great war, there is often a major epidemic.

In fact, the fundamental reason is that a large number of people died intensively in a short period of time.

The accumulation of a large number of corpses will inevitably lead to the spread of diseases.

In this ancient society with extremely low per capita immunity, the actual harm of epidemics is extremely high.

In fact, the infectiousness and lethality of the plague are not high, but when the people's resistance and immunity are insufficient, there are no protective measures, and there are no treatment conditions, there is no non-dangerous disease.

A lot of people die from colds every year, let alone epidemics?
  Gu Xun specifically mentioned post-war epidemic prevention methods to Ying Zheng before, and Ying Zheng also adopted them. After all, no ruler likes this kind of thing to happen.

However, the conditions in ancient times were limited after all, and it was impossible for Yingzheng to devote all the country's energy to epidemic prevention.

There's still a war going on!

Therefore, no matter how hard Gu Xun tries, he can only slightly alleviate the occurrence of this situation, but it is impossible to prevent it.

But he never thought that Qin's war of annihilation would deceive Nian Duan in such a roundabout way.

The reason why doctors don't treat themselves is mostly due to psychological reasons, such as fear or neglect.

But in fact, what a doctor has the deepest understanding of is always his own body, and he will not miss any small changes if he is intentional about it.

It is not difficult to understand that Nian Duan adopts this approach to find solutions.

The prevention of epidemic diseases is not a big trouble. Any doctor with reliable medical skills can find ways to prevent infection.

However, these methods have one thing in common, that is, they cannot be popularized on a large scale and cannot become a standing method.

In a modern society with limited information, the best time for prevention and treatment will be delayed. By the time the doctor arrives, the infection is almost complete.

By then, prevention and treatment will no longer be important; what is most needed is radical cure.

I'm afraid Nian Duan has frequently tested the disease on himself in the past two years in order to find a suitable prescription in the shortest possible time.

Her physical fitness is very good, but after all, she is still at the level of an ordinary person. Doing this is extremely harmful and is damaging her own energy and spirit from the root.

The kind of complete damage that cannot be undone on its own.

Gu Xun also understood why Nianduan had never tried to treat himself or other doctors in the past two years.

No matter what the treatment plan is, the core point is that Nian Duan must stop trying to test the disease.

If you want to save yourself, you must first give up saving others.

Obviously, Nianduan made his own choice.

"Alas..." Gu Xun couldn't help but sigh and accused, "I have told you several times that the most important thing for a doctor is to save his own life."

"There are endless cures for all the patients in the world. Only by living can we save more people. But in the end, you still..."

When Nian Duan heard this, he just forced a forced smile, but Duan Murong defended his master and said:
  "The master told me that this method cannot be used forever. She will stop before reaching the load to cultivate herself."

Gu Xun shook his head slightly and helped Duan Murong finish the second half of the sentence, "It's just that she accidentally didn't grasp the balance and exceeded the load, so that her physical condition deteriorated rapidly, right?"

"..." Duan Murong lowered her head and whispered back one word, "Yes."

Gu Xun didn't say anything else. The mistake was not made by the little girl. The top priority was to save people first.

Instead of choosing medication, Gu Xun directly held Nian Duan's hands, a green light glowing in his palms, and a large amount of Yuhua's true energy was poured into her body along the intersection of her hands.

With Nian Duan's current symptoms, ordinary medicines are a luxury, let alone cure.

If a person is compared to a bucket, then various human activities are equivalent to using a bucket to fill and pour water. In this process, natural wear and tear will occur. When the wear and tear reaches the extreme, the person will die. Special ones like Han Fei Ayan, they are equivalent to defective buckets, they are born with severe damage and may break down at any time.

As for Nianduan's situation, it was a case of deliberately destroying the bucket with tools the day after tomorrow, and it was almost destroyed.

Medication can only repair small cracks, but cannot solve major problems.

And Gu Xun's forceful injection of Qi was equivalent to forcibly using glue to stick the nearly collapsed bucket.

Unfortunately, the glue melts away quickly and doesn't last long.

Under the nourishment of Yuhua's true energy, Nian Duan's pale complexion quickly improved, with a trace of blood reappearing, and his breath that was originally breathless became smooth and long.

After giving it a try, Nian Duan successfully sat up. Although he was still a little weak, he was able to move normally.

Although his condition improved, neither master nor disciple Nianduan was overjoyed.

One of them is a miraculous doctor, and the other is a future miraculous doctor. They know very well that this is just a flash in the pan, which is equivalent to a flashback. When the Qi instilled by Gu Xun is exhausted, they will return to their previous state, or even worse - any behavior, Including treatment, it will cause harm to the already overwhelmed mind.

However, Nian Duan still showed a smile.

If Gu Xun didn't help her breathe again, she might not be able to survive three days. Now she can at least hold on in a normal state for a while longer.

Well...she can also arrange things after her death.

But Gu Xun said, "With Yuhua's true energy hanging on your life, you can survive for another two or three months. Now pack your things quickly and follow me back to Xianyang."

Nian Duan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head and declined, "Don't bother, Gu Xun, you should be very aware of my situation. Medicine and stone have no effect."

Gu Xun denied it flatly, "No, there is still a chance."

"Remember the immortal grass I talked about when we were exploring treatment options for Han Fei?"

Nianduan immediately recalled it and expressed emotion, "That magical medicine is indeed possible...could it be that you have already found it?"

Gu Xun shook his head, "No, that thing... I'm afraid I won't be able to see it in my lifetime."

"But I found a substitute. Although the effectiveness is far different, it should be usable."

When Nian Duan heard that there was a strange medicinal material that could replace the immortal grass mentioned in Gu Xun's mouth, he couldn't help but ask, "What medicinal material is it?"

"I also tried to find alternative medicinal materials, but found nothing."

Gu Xun did not answer, but deliberately teased her and said, "You will know when you go to Xianyang."

To be honest, if he hadn't considered that a large number of tests might be needed, Gu Xun would have brought the medicine here directly to avoid delays on the road.

However, he currently has no prescription that can be used directly and must conduct experiments based on Nian Duan's symptoms.

The main medicine was easy to handle and he had enough on hand, but the type and quantity of the auxiliary medicine was uncertain.

Xianyang has the treasury of the State of Qin, and its medicinal materials are absolutely sufficient, which is not comparable to that of Nian Duan's Medicine House.

When Nianduan heard what Gu Xun said, he didn't hesitate and decided to follow his arrangement and go to Xianyang.

Even if he couldn't cure himself in the end, he could at least get a rare elixir he had never seen before he died.

By the way... we can also find a suitable place for Ronger.
