Chapter 630 - 485: Lin Miao Takes Action

"Xia Zhu, is this..." Lin Miao’s face was sombre as he looked at the seven or eight critical patients transported from the city by large carriage.

They’re already in critical condition, and they’re being moved out for treatment—aren’t they afraid that the journey might cause their condition to worsen?

Does Xia Zhu not even understand these basic principles?

"Mr. Lin, allow me to report to you." Xia Zhu obviously understood; if only "Su Yi" was transferred, it would look too much like abuse of power, and it wouldn’t sound good if word got out. Wen Ruyu wouldn’t have selected these relatively stable "critical" patients to transfer together.

Of course, transferring them to Xue Family Manor for treatment was also done after seeking their opinions. It wasn’t a forced transfer.

Lin Miao wasn’t an impulsive person who acted blindly. He knew Xia Zhu wouldn’t do such unprofessional things.

Perhaps there’s something behind this.

Xia Zhu briefly reported Su Yi’s situation to Lin Miao.

Also, those transferred to Xue Family Manor for treatment were patients from outside being treated at the Shengyuan Hall quarantine point. Sending them out also gave Lin Miao a chance to investigate the "Measles Epidemic" transmission in the outer city.

"Master, Su Yi’s condition is very unfavorable. Before coming, I used your method to reduce her temperature. Although her fever decreased, her condition hasn’t improved much. Due to her special identity, Lord Pei instructed to do everything possible to save her." Xia Zhu said solemnly.

"Tell me the prescriptions and treatment methods used on her?"

"Yes, Master. Upon arrival at Shengyuan Hall, Mr. Wen administered Silver Qiao Powder, but it had no effect. Later, combined treatment with Shengma Gegen Soup, but the result was still inconspicuous. Fever wouldn’t subside, and red rashes, and pustules kept growing. Some pustules had ruptured; learning her identity, Mr. Wen called me over. I used needle therapy on Quchi, Dazhui, Hegu, Sanyinjiao, etc., to lower her temperature. After sweating, her temperature decreased. I supplemented with Xiaochaihu Decoction. This is what I know so far."

Lin Miao nodded, examined Su Yi’s pulse, checked her tongue coating and pupils, then instructed firmly:

"Use Shashen Maidong Soup, add one qian of Rhino horn and ox gallstone, compound it quickly and concoct a bowl, administer it to her!"

"Master, do you want me to stay and assist?" Xia Zhu asked.

"No need, you should go back quickly; Mr. Wen would need you there. If there are more critical patients with persistent high fever, you can use the prescription I just mentioned. If there’s no Rhino horn powder, use buffalo horn powder, with quantities eight to twelve times the Rhino horn powder. You’re free to adjust the dosage; if there’s no ox gallstone, it can be omitted, prioritize reducing patient’s fever!" Lin Miao instructed.

"Alright, Master, I’ll return now. Su Yi and these patients are entrusted to you." Xia Zhu nodded, he was truly concerned about Wen Ruyu’s situation.

"Go ahead, go ahead." Lin Miao waved his hand. After listening to Xia Zhu’s account, he felt the city’s situation was much more urgent than that outside the city.

With the city densely populated and the measles epidemic spread through contact and droplets, it transmits easily and quickly multiplies, increasing the spread speed.

If someone intends to spread the measles epidemic deliberately, choosing the city would yield the fastest outcome.

So why choose Mr. Cen from Erli Village?

Or perhaps wanting to evade exposure of the epidemic being man-made, or intentionally orchestrated.

The exact possibility is uncertain now; nonetheless, investigating the source of the "civet cat" remains the focus.

Once clarified, everything will be understood.

The issue is, those who know the civet cat’s source have already died, and no others in Erli Village had seen outsiders contact Mr. Cen, leading to a deadlock situation.

"The medicinal soup has arrived."

"Administer it to her and check her temperature every incense stick time." Lin Miao mused, considering when he could craft a mercury thermometer.

Reliance on touch for assessing fever is cumbersome.

However, making a mercury thermometer requires "mercury"; mercury isn’t difficult to synthesize, but the problem lies in sealing it within delicate, hair-thin glass tubes.

This task is best left to artisans and their ingenuity; even though he’s a transmigrator, he lacks omniscience, there are things unknown.

The medicine was administered smoothly.

The efficacy is uncertain, yet Su Yi opened her eyes, waking up; she was awakened by urgent need of urination.

She couldn’t hold it any longer; if she didn’t awaken, she would’ve wet herself.

She’s an adult, not a child. Her brain, receiving signals of an urgent need to urinate, prompted temporary awakening.

Of course, reduced fever helped; otherwise, muddled by heat, she probably would have wet the bed.

After sweating and fever reduction, Xia Zhu administered medication for hydration, hence her need to urinate. Urination is detoxification; it’s the simplest rationale.

A patient’s urine during high fever resembles normal conditions.

Crimson-yellow, with concealed blood traces!

Lin Miao realized the girl was on the verge of "Toxic Blood" syndrome; if not corrected promptly, she wouldn’t survive the day.

"Senior Sister, needles!"

Sun Youwei nodded.

"Arrange a room, help me remove all her clothes." Lin Miao instructed.

"All?"

"Yes, without entirely removing them, the needlework can’t be done. Hurry with preparations," Lin Miao continued, "the acupuncture technique I’m about to perform is for reversal rescue. Watch quietly, don’t speak, later I’ll pass on this method to you."
