Chapter 239 Trust between People
"I found that this medicine is very effective in treating typhoid fever and high fever." Doctor Wu said excitedly.
For the treatment of colds and fevers.
Li Xi understood. No wonder he was so excited. Colds have been a terminal illness since ancient times. They are a virus strain with a high mortality rate. After countless years and the deaths of countless lives, it has finally been weakened step by step. In modern times, it has become a slightly toxic strain with a low mortality rate.
She had heard people complain that ancient TV dramas were fake. A minor cold would take a week to recover with medicine, but seven days without medicine. In ancient times, catching a cold was like having a serious illness. They would be unable to get out of bed and die at any time. They would have a fever, be on an IV drip, and stay up late to write plans.
Little do people know that the mortality rate between ancient typhoid strains and modern influenza strains is very different.
The older the virus strain, the more toxic it is, and the first-generation virus strains must be the most toxic.
Just like the new coronavirus with an extremely high mortality rate, we must know that the virus depends on the host to survive, and its purpose is not to kill dead pigs, so the virus will mutate step by step to reduce its own toxicity.
So as time went by and as a large number of African lives were lost, the virus also mutated and eventually formed the Omicron strain. As Omicron was introduced from Africa, national immunization began.
Li Xi secretly felt that it was fortunate that she was not wearing one, otherwise it would be no different from people from 2024 traveling back to 2019 and wandering around a virus-filled hospital without wearing a mask.
Moreover, it is undeniable that the medical conditions in ancient times were backward and the medical methods were limited. In many cases, sick patients could not receive effective treatment and eventually died.
Doctor Wu could naturally treat typhoid fever and fever, but Chinese medicine always prescribes the right medicine for the right disease. It was only after he met Li Xi that he learned about the existence of Chinese patent medicine.
A person's ability is limited. Although he can treat typhoid and fever, he is only one person. Even if he does not eat or drink, how many people can he treat in a day? But Chinese patent medicine is different.
It is not only convenient and fast, but also easy to store and transport. After seeing the efficacy of the Detoxification Pills, Dr. Wu became fascinated by Chinese patent medicine.
After listening to what Doctor Wu said, Li Xi was not too surprised. After all, the symptoms of miasma include high fever and chills. Doctor Wu made some changes on the original basis, making it not too surprising that it has the effect of treating colds and fevers.
"Really?" Li Xi said in surprise.
Doctor Wu's excited expression disappeared, and he looked at Li Xi unhappily, "What's that expression on your face?"
Don't think he didn't notice it, there was clearly no surprise in her eyes.
What Li Xi could think of, Doctor Wu could also think of. The prescription he modified was the prescription of the Detoxification Pills, which was derived from the Detoxification Pills.
"Surprised, just surprised."
Doctor Wu rolled his eyes. How come he found that Li Xi had changed so much this time? Why was she so poor?
"By the way, was the drug you said you were going to develop last time successful?"
Li Xi had used this excuse to send him away before. If she hadn't said that, he would definitely not leave so easily.
"No, developing drugs is not a matter of one day or one night, and it takes perseverance." Li Xi looked bitter and resentful.
Doctor Wu didn't think she was fooling him. After all, this was the norm. It was shocking for her to develop one drug after another in such a short period of time like she did before.
He nodded, "Indeed, this can't be rushed. Do you need my help?"
After what happened last time they worked together, Dr. Wu quite liked working with her.
He has been studying medicine for decades, and in all these years, few people have been defeated by him. His reputation as a miracle doctor is well-known, and many people have wanted to become his disciples.
But those idiots are more stupid than each other, and I am too lazy to pay attention to them.
But during the days he worked with Li Xi, he discovered that many times she and he had a kind of medical resonance, which was a really good feeling.
This is what people mean when they say it is hard to find a true friend.
"Let's talk about it later. Now that we've finished talking about everything, I have something else to do. I'm leaving first." Li Xi said and was about to get up and leave.
Doctor Wu also stood up and asked, "Hey, where are you going in such a hurry?"
After being neighbors and dealing with each other for so long, how could Dr. Wu not understand her?
This girl Li Xi has no real work to do except fiddling with the medicine in the room. She is usually very lazy, too lazy to get up early, too lazy to go out. What real work can she do?
Li Xi naturally heard the doubt in Doctor Wu's tone and was speechless for a moment, "I really have something to do, otherwise how could I lie to you."
Can't people have a little trust in each other?
The doubt in Doctor Wu's face faded a little. That was true. She really had no reason to do so.
"I haven't finished what I'm saying yet."
Doctor Wu was a little dissatisfied. Why was there such a rush? Wouldn't it be more meaningful for them to work together to promote medical progress?
Li Xi didn't know that Dr. Wu would put such a big accusation on her just because of her excuse.
"If you really have something to say, we can talk about it later."
Li Xi didn't want to tell Dr. Wu that her main business was to look for Gu Jingzhi. After all, she herself hadn't made up her mind yet.
Seeing that Li Xi insisted, Doctor Wu didn't want to force her to stay, so he sighed and said, "Okay, then you can go. I'll come back to see you another day."
"No problem, I'll definitely have time then." After all, she rarely has no time.
……
After leaving Doctor Wu's house, Li Xi did not return to his own home, but walked slowly to the gate of the General Zhenbei's Mansion.
Li Xi squinted her eyes and looked at the plaque hanging high on the door of the general's mansion. She came here to find him on a whim.
She didn't know whether Gu Jingzhi was in the general's mansion, but it didn't matter. She came because she wanted to see him, and if he wasn't there, then forget it.
The two guards at the gate of the general's mansion noticed Li Xi when she appeared. They knew Li Xi's identity and knew that she was the fiancée of their major general.
They looked at her curiously and secretly. This was the girl that the major general liked.
Li Xi climbed up the stairs and asked, "Is Gu Jingzhi here?"
After hearing Li Xi's voice, the two guards responded, "Yes, the Major General is here."
"Please go in and inform him that I'm here to see him."
"Yes, my dear guest, please wait a moment. I will go and inform you right away."
After the guard finished speaking, he handed the spear in his hand to another guard and trotted into the mansion to report.
When the guard came to report, Gu Jingzhi was reading in the study. Li Xi asked him to take good care of himself. He did not go to the military camp in the past few days and stayed at home to recuperate.
Hearing the guard's message, Gu Jingzhi's eyes lit up and he suddenly stood up from his chair and walked out.
