Chapter 5 - Chapter V. Farce in an infected area

 The drums of the fifth night had not yet sounded through, and the sound of door slamming came from the corner door of the Eastern Palace. Lin Xiaoman holding a freshly ground Persian silver needle, heard Li Chengqian's voice mixed with the morning fog floated: "Yizhou express horse delivered an urgent report, said the epidemic prevention shed began to die - Zhang doctor Zheng had to personally go to preside over the rescue and treatment, and at this moment is at Chengtianmen quarrelling with Father." "Quarrel. ""Quarrel? "She stuffed twenty glazed bottles into the medicine chest, with the word 'alcohol' written in vermilion on the bottles."

 It would be better to say that he is going to send a head - the Imperial Hospital has so far refused to use the boiling disinfection method, for fear of turning the infected area into a mass grave. "On the bricks of the Chengtian Gate, Doctor Zhang's official boots are pacing back and forth, his beard still stained with grass clippings that he hasn't had time to comb:" "Your Majesty! What does that folk woman know about miasma? She had to be exorcized with five stone powder... ""Elder Zhang is saying that.""

 Lin Xiaoman lifted the green cloth curtain and deliberately shook the microscope in her hand, "that having the people eat ore powder works better than drinking boiled herbal soup? " She turned to Emperor Tang Taizong, the Ten Rules for Preventing Epidemics slipped from her sleeve and was picked up by the palace staff, "I improved the mask last night, using three layers of silk cloth to sandwich mint and wormwood, which prevents droplet infections. "

 Li Shimin looked at the desk piled up into a small mountain of sick and dead zhangfu, nodded, "Permission for you to bring female medical workshop disciples to Yizhou, the required medicinal herbs can be called on 30% of the inventory of the Imperial Hospital. "He suddenly glanced at the face of Zhang Medical Zheng," Zhang Qing since familiar with the miasma, will go with Secretary Lin, or to confirm the learning. "As the wagon wheels rolled over Vermilion Bird Street, Li Chengqian suddenly rolled over and mounted his horse: "I'll go with you. "Looking at Lin Xiaoman's surprised eyes, the tips of his ears reddened, "Father said... Said that the Crown Prince should understand the hardships of the people. "The epidemic prevention shed outside of Yizhou City wafted a strong smell of mugwort, but it couldn't cover the stench of rotting corpses.

 Lin Xiaoman had just jumped off the carriage when she saw a granny holding her child and crying bitterly: "The doctor said that we should use fecal water to splash our bodies to drive away the evil spirits, but my son drank the talismanic water and... " "Stop! " She snatched the yellow paper being burned, "Take away all the talismanic water and five stone powder--Master Zhang, you don't think that letting the people drink incense ash can cure diarrhea? "

 Dr. Zhang is sticking his neck out, "The Treatise on the Origins and Currents of All Diseases says, 'Diarrhea is caused by the feeling of an external evil...' " "The external evil is the dysentery germs on your sleeve! "Lin Xiaoman lifted his sleeve, revealing several scabbed wounds, "Having touched a patient and grabbed medicine without washing your hands, germs will naturally enter through the mouth - come on, watch this, gentlemen! "She let Poria bring two pots of water, a pot of raw water and a pot of boiling water, respectively, into the rice grains:" raw water of the rice grains moldy for three days, boiling water of the rice grains for seven days does not rot - this is why you must drink boiled water! "Turning to the disciples, he said, "Divide the shed into three rooms.

 Partition the shed into three rooms, those with diarrhea use yellow dock powder to drink water, those who are dehydrated pour saline water, remember to use a bamboo tube to pour through the nostrils, don't choke. "Doctor Zhang watched them use cloth tape to pull the isolation line between the sheds, and finally couldn't help but snicker:" 'Getting all this labor, how can it work as well as the exorcism ceremony?' "Then, we can use the cloth tape to pull the isolation line between the sheds. "Then I'd like to ask Dr. Zhang to perform the ceremony," Lin Xiaoman handed over a stack of wooden signs that read 'Disinfect and Wash Your Hands,' "but before that, please soak your fingernail slits in soapstone. But before you do that, please soak your fingernails in soapy water - see, the black mud inside is dirtier than the talisman paper. "In the afternoon, when the first dehydrated child opened his eyes and grabbed Lin Xiaoman's sleeve, calling out "Sister Immortal," Dr. Zhang was frowning at his own "ridiculous" medical case.

 Even better, Li Chengqian did not know where to get a gong, and led his disciples to beat the gong from shed to shed: "Drink boiling water! Wear a mask! Pull dysentery to three feet apart! "Your Highness this is..." Selling art? "Lin Xiaoman looked at his sweaty shirt and held back a laugh as she asked. "Father asked me to keep an eye on the epidemic prevention," he wiped his face and suddenly held up an oil-paper bag, "Hu cakes bought in the Western Market, with the nutmeg powder you mentioned - try some? "Early in the morning of the fifth day, three pages of annotations were added to Zhang's error book, all of which were written in vermilion by Lin Xiaoman: "Seven Steps to Washing Hands" and "Disinfecting Feces".

 When he saw the female disciples using bamboo tablets to measure the temperature of the patients, he finally stifled the words, "This...". The scale on the bamboo slice is more accurate than the pulse pillow." "If it is accurate, it is accurate. ""As long as it's accurate," Lin Xiaoman shoved a copy of A Brief Record of Modern Infectious Diseases into his hand, "next time you come back to the infected area, remember not to wear crotchless pants--you When you squatted in the outhouse yesterday, the legs of your pants were stained with fecal water. "The old doctor Zheng's coughing sound startled the sparrows on the roof of the shed, Li Chengqian could no longer tense up and hid behind the disinfectant bucket and laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his back.

 In the distance, the healed people are holding up a wooden sign that reads "Goddess of Medicine," and the sunlight passes through the mint leaves in their hands, casting tiny specks of light on the quarantine shed. On the carriage on the way back, Li Chengqian suddenly rummaged through the bottom of the box and took out a pouch: "A peace talisman that I asked for at the Yizhou City God Temple. "Open it and see, inside is actually with a silver needle threaded up mint
