Datang: Showdown, your father and I are Li Shimin

Chapter 25
Epidemic area, Ducun.

Li Ze didn't sleep for long, and was woken up at dawn.

"Miraculous doctor Li! Miraculous doctor Li! Several people died outside the village, it seems that they were sent in some time ago!" A panicked night patrolling villager stood far away from the medical hall and shouted at Li Ze.

Li Ze immediately recalled the few people sent in who had not serious symptoms but were extremely weak.

There is a vague feeling that something is wrong, but I can't remember it for a while.

But there is a long period of time from the onset of smallpox to death.

It is impossible for the symptoms to be mild on the first day and to die the next day.

Li Ze decided to go and see for himself, woke up a few people, and led them towards the place where the deceased was found.

"It stands to reason that no one should die from smallpox at present. Even those severely ill patients who are themselves very weak are currently being maintained with medicine soup. Be careful, everyone. It is very likely that it is some other disease. Bring some alcohol to .”

As he spoke, Li Ze picked up a small clay pot, a jar of alcohol, and walked to an open space not far outside the village under the leadership of the night patrol villagers.

From a distance, he saw corpses lying on the ground in disorder.

I saw a few corpses with blue complexions, stomach acid around their mouths, and a little blood.

Li Ze stretched out a hand to block the name of the village behind him: "You guys stay here and don't move. There is something wrong with these people."

Walking slowly, Li Ze's extremely commanding sense of smell immediately detected a very imperceptible sulfide smell, especially under the cover of the stench of vomit and abscesses on his body.

It can be seen through the system that these five people all died of gastric erosion and internal bleeding.

The body is completely stiff, and it is estimated that he should have died in the middle of the night.

According to the death information of these people, it is very likely that it was the most common poison in ancient times-arsenic, that is, crane-crested red.

In order to reconfirm, Li Ze took out the silver needles he carried with him and stabbed them at the mouths and noses of the dead. Sure enough, every silver needle turned black.

In ancient times, the technology was underdeveloped, and the arsenic produced would more or less have some sulfide residues, so it would react with silver to form black silver sulfide covering the surface of the silver needles.

Looking at these corpses, Li Ze immediately thought of the scene in the movie he saw in his previous life: arsenic murder.

Then he beckoned behind him: "Okay, take all these corpses away, remember not to burn them, and put them in my medical center."

After finishing speaking, Li Ze continued to walk around. After looking at the surrounding terrain and footprints, he followed the villagers back to his medical center.

"Master Li, you are finally back, take a quick look, there are several people in the clinic who are seriously ill again!" Not long after walking to the village, I heard several people shouting in my direction from a distance.

Li Ze ran all the way into the medical center and saw a few people gathered in a circle, crying loudly.

It seems that the children should come to visit their parents when they see their parents are seriously ill.

Li Ze frowned and stepped forward. The people behind him quickly shouted: "Divine Doctor Li is here! Everyone, make way first!"

Seeing this, several young people lying on the bed knelt down in front of Li Ze, the tears on their faces were not dry, and everyone's eyes were bloodshot.

Li Ze was taken aback when he saw this, and stretched out his hands to help him: "Everyone, uncles and aunts, get up quickly, how dare the younger generation accept such a great gift."

"As a doctor, I will naturally do my best to treat you, please hurry up!"

However, one of the older people in the crowd didn't show any signs of getting up, and he firmly grabbed Li Ze's sleeve and said, "Master Li, my grandpa and aunt are old, and when they are still awake, they say Just don't waste herbs on him."

"Now that Grandpa and Auntie are fainting, it is really not worthwhile for a master doctor to waste herbs on Grandpa and Auntie. I, Lin Feng, will never forget the great kindness of Doctor Li to my Lin family. Let these herbs be given to other people in the village. We don't know when smallpox will end, so many people in the village have already fallen ill, and there are only a few magical herbs, so let's use sparingly."

"That's right, Doctor Li, Grandpa and Auntie have been asking me to wait. There are more than a hundred people in the village. These soups and medicines should be used by those children and women." Several others also begged Li Ze.

They knew that the medical center itself didn't store too many herbal medicines. Most of the time, as long as it wasn't an emergency, Li Ze basically wrote a prescription and asked them to go to the city to get the medicine.

Dozens of people have fallen ill in the village now, and the herbal medicines have basically been exhausted, and the women among these middle-aged people are in charge of decocting medicines in the medical hall, so they are naturally very clear.

Those medicinal herbs were almost squeezed out of their last drop of value, and the brewed medicinal soup gradually changed from dark brown to light yellow at first.

Li Ze looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh, "Oh... why doesn't this Li Er bring some herbs and food..."

"Folks, you don't need to be like this. Since I, Li, promised that I will try my best to help everyone survive the difficulties, I naturally have a way to keep everyone alive as much as possible. My housekeeper in Chang'an City has already purchased a lot of medicinal materials and food. Now It is estimated that they are already on the way, everyone, get up!"

Li Ze grabbed these arms and tried to help them up. A group of middle-aged people quickly kowtowed to Li Ze.

"Miraculous doctor Li! Miracle doctor Li is not good! Go out and have a look! There are a lot of refugees coming outside, saying that they want medical doctor Li to treat their illnesses!"

Li Ze looked towards the window, and saw a man looking at the hospital with a terrified expression, his hands on his knees, panting hard.

The faces of the others in the medical hall suddenly turned pale.

Now that Du Village has neither food nor medicine, wouldn't it make things worse for another group of victims?
Li Ze's complexion changed immediately, and he looked at the crowd solemnly: "It's okay, there is no unparalleled road, and Li will live and die with everyone."

After finishing speaking, Li Ze walked out of the hospital: "Take me to have a look."

The man nodded and led Li Ze towards the entrance of the village from a distance. At the same time, other people in the village who were infected with smallpox but still able to move followed behind Qin Feng.

Surrounded by the crowd, the moment Li Ze walked to the entrance of the village, he heard the discussion of the victims from a distance:

"This is a miracle doctor? So young?"

"It is said that the miracle doctor Sun Simiao is an old man in his 90s or [-]s. This young man is the miracle doctor Li you are talking about?"

"Can this person be Sun Simiao's master?"

"It looks like he is really a miracle doctor. You see, there are many people behind him."

……

As Li Ze walked towards the entrance of the village, all the victims gradually calmed down and stood quietly not far from the entrance of the village.

"Fellow folks, Xia Li Ze is the only doctor in this village, but the food, herbs and accommodation in the village are very limited. Even if you come, I'm afraid you will have to wait for a while."

The villagers below immediately started talking again, and even Li Ze couldn't hear what they were talking about due to the noisy voice.

Li Ze raised his hands to signal silence, and added: "But everyone, don't worry, since everyone is here, Li will not ignore it. Later, our village will serve everyone porridge for the time being. Everyone is tired from the long journey, so let's take a break first."

As soon as the words fell, Li Ze heard a rush of footsteps behind him.

"Miraculous Doctor Li! Miraculous Doctor Li!"

The man looked at the large number of victims at the entrance of the village, and beckoned Li Ze to enter the village.

As soon as they were out of the sight of those victims, the villagers lowered their voices and said, "The emperor and empress want to see you, just outside the east side of the village."

"What? Your Majesty and Your Majesty?" Li Ze was suddenly astonished.
