Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 127: Kuai Liang is infected! (Additional chapter for the godfather of literature, the world ~ a little late)
Zhang Zhongjing did not rest there, but went to the boiling water that had been boiling for half a day.

A kind of green vine medicinal material that had been prepared long ago was thrown in.

He picked this medicinal herb from the mountains some time ago.

The boiled medicine has a very good effect in treating epidemics and preventing diseases, and is also the medicinal material later known as "kudzu vine" and "kudzu root".

Wait until Sun Ce and his men have rested enough.

Zhang Zhongjing poured the boiled soup into many large wooden barrels.

All soldiers who had close contact with the plague corpses were asked to enter the wooden barrels and soak in the medicine.

Eliminate any diseases that may have been contracted from your body.

At this time, Kuai Liang came to Zhang Zhongjing and sighed with a smile:

"Thanks to Doctor Zhongjing, our army was able to... ahem, eradicate the epidemic in the city in such a short time."

I saw Kuai Liang covering his mouth with his sleeve and coughing twice.

As a doctor, Zhang Zhongjing immediately looked at the other person with suspicion.

At this moment, he suddenly noticed an inconspicuous small scar on the other person's left cheek.

Looking at this fresh wound, Zhang Zhongjing asked solemnly:

"How did you get the wound on the military advisor's face?"

Kuai Liang was stunned for a moment, touched his cheek, and recalled what happened before:

“It seems that he was hit by body parts from the corpse on the city wall.

"I was startled at the time, but I didn't feel anything. But now it seems to hurt a little..."

Zhang Zhongjing's expression changed slightly. He immediately grabbed the other person's arm and took his pulse.

Seeing Zhang Zhongjing's brows gradually frowning and his expression becoming more and more solemn, Kuai Liang couldn't help but panic.

After a moment, Zhang Zhongjing put down his wrist and said in a heavy voice:
"It seems that the military advisor's luck is not very good..."

Kuai Liang's face became more and more panicked:

"What...what's going on? Have I been infected with the plague?"

Zhang Zhongjing sighed helplessly:

“For any disease, the chance of infection through wounds is the highest.

“Not to mention the already highly contagious disease.

“Although I am confident in curing the disease, I am not absolutely sure that I can cure it.

"It is even more impossible to prevent there from being sequelae...

“Also, I came here in a hurry this time, and I didn’t bring all the herbs needed to treat the epidemic.

"Now, if we want to completely cure the disease on the military advisor, we are still short of two kinds of medicinal herbs.

"But these two kinds of medicinal herbs were lost in Jiujiang..."

A round trip from Jiujiang takes at least four or five days.

In addition, the army is approaching the city now, and the enemy may have ambushed troops around it.

It would be very difficult to go to Jiujiang to get the medicinal materials, or to take Kuai Liang to Jiujiang for treatment directly...

At this moment, Kuai Liang's hair and beard were standing on end and his face looked grim.

After a long time, he couldn't help but sigh:
"It seems that I, Kuai Zirou, am destined to die in this disaster..."

Zhang Zhongjing glanced at Kuai Liang's desperate expression and suddenly smiled with relief:

“Military advisor, there’s no need to be so negative.

“Although I don’t have a 100% cure rate, the cure rate for plague patients I’ve treated is as high as 70% to 80%!

“Although there are not enough herbs to completely cure the disease at the moment, there are more than enough herbs to delay the disease.

"If we can delay until the enemy retreats, I will accompany you to Jiujiang immediately, and I should be able to completely cure your illness."

Hearing Zhang Zhongjing's words, Kuai Liang seemed to have grasped a life-saving herb and hurriedly held the other's hand:

"Are you serious, sir?" "Of course." Zhang Zhongjing nodded confidently.

"Then I'll leave my illness to you, sir!"

As Kuai Liang said this, he immediately knelt down in front of Zhang Zhongjing.

Zhang Zhongjing quickly held the other person's shoulders and said gently:
"In order to prevent the disease you are carrying from spreading to others, I will have to inconvenience you for a while."

Kuai Liang shook his head:

"Even if I die, I cannot infect others with my disease! I have this awareness.

"But aren't you afraid of being infected by me, sir?"

"I?"

Zhang Zhongjing smiled and shook his head:
"I have been dealing with epidemics for so many years that my body has developed a certain resistance.

"And I will take care of the aftermath later, so you don't have to worry about me."

"That's good……"

Kuai Liang breathed a sigh of relief, and then, under Zhang Zhongjing's arrangement, he lived in a separate room.

However, when he walked out of the house, the relaxed expression Zhang Zhongjing had just shown suddenly became solemn!

Because the extent of Kuai Liang's infection was faster and more serious than he had imagined.

The opponent was directly wounded by the fragments of the plague-infected corpse, which meant that the toxin directly entered the body.

The corpses thrown in by the enemy were all wrapped in thick cloth for a long time.

The plague has continued to proliferate during the decaying process of the corpse. It can be said that every part of the body is a source of poison!
It's okay to have the protection of the skin. As long as it is handled properly, the chance of contracting the plague will not be too high.

But the result of direct blood contact is that you will most likely be infected.

And Kuai Liang's disordered and chilly pulse indicated that he was diagnosed with the plague!
The plagues during this period were generally divided into three types: typhoid, plague, and malaria.

The most important of these is typhoid fever.

Plague and malaria rarely occur in winter.

But the incidence of typhoid fever is particularly high in the cold winter!

What he just said was just to comfort Kuai Liang.

A good attitude is often an incomparable medicine that can significantly delay the development of the disease.

A bad mentality will aggravate the symptoms!
In order to prevent Kuai Liang from feeling despair, Zhang Zhongjing had no choice but to say those words to comfort him.

But right now, Kuai Liang's situation has become extremely urgent.

If we cannot prepare effective enough medicines for treatment in time, I am afraid the other side will not be able to hold out until the enemy retreats!
After disinfecting his body, Zhang Zhongjing immediately found Sun Ce, who had already taken a medicinal bath, and told him about Kuai Liang's situation.

Upon learning that Kuai Liang was infected with the disease, Sun Ce was stunned:
"It got infected so quickly?"

Zhang Zhongjing sighed:
"The season is not good, the luck is bad, and as a civil servant, I lack exercise and my body is weak, so I am prone to illness."

"What should we do?" Sun Ce became anxious.

Kuai Liang had a very good relationship with Zhou Yu, and because of Zhou Yu's relationship, Sun Ce also respected Kuai Liang very much.

Knowing that the other party's situation was not optimistic, he also became anxious.

Zhang Zhongjing sighed:
“I don’t know much about military matters.

“If possible, it would be best if you could go to Jiujiang and get the two medicinal herbs I need.

“But I am also aware of the current situation. If we break out of the city, we will most likely be attacked by the enemy.

“To lose more soldiers’ lives for one person… I don’t know if it’s worth it.

"For matters like this, only you, General, can make the decision yourself..."

After hearing Zhang Zhongjing's words, Sun Ce also fell silent.

But after a moment, his eyes suddenly became firm:

“A soldier’s life is a life, of course… but if we can save a precious counselor, we may be able to save more lives in the future!
"And with me, Little Overlord, leading the team personally, I will definitely reduce our casualties as much as possible and break out at the lowest cost!"
