Chapter 234: Deadly Plague

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Su Yingxue put on a mask and gloves and approached Qin Ming.

Qin Ming retreated in fear, “Miss, you shouldn’t do this. You better leave quickly. If the disease spreads…”

Su Yingxue calmly walked up to him. “I’m a Doctor. If I’m afraid, how can I treat patients?”

Qin Ming was afraid of implicating her. Her calm appearance gave people a sense of security.

He reluctantly allowed Su Yingxue to examine him.

Su Yingxue pulled up Qin Ming’s sleeve and observed that the pustules and scares on his body were spreading rapidly, and the symptoms of nausea and vomiting were gradually intensifying.

Su Yingxue asked Qin Ming, “When you treated Lai San, how did you diagnose him?”

Speaking of this, Qin Ming’s eyes were filled with remorse, “At that time, seeing him, considering he was a beggar and vomiting continuously, I thought he had scabies and gastrointestinal problems. I didn’t pulse him but directly used scabies ointment, However, when 1 came back today to pulse him, I found myself itching and in pain all over. The same goes for my apprentice.”

Su Yingxue glanced at Qin Ming’s apprentices. They both exhibited the same symptoms as Qin Ming, and it seemed more severe for them.

One of the apprentices said, “Yesterday, 1 was the one who applied medicine and cleaned clothes for Lai San, with direct contact. So I am in worse condition than Master and Junior Brother.”

Qin Ming looked at his body covered in pustules and scars, he felt guilty.

He felt even more sorry for Su Yingxue. After practicing medicine for so many years, he never expected to be careless at times.

Su Yingxue wore a mask as she pondered. “To find out the root cause, I still have to treat Lai San.”

“Miss, this is not allowed. Let me go. Anyway, I have contacted the disease. This time, I’ll definitely figure it out. Miss, your health is precious. If anything happens to you, our clinic will collapse! If 1 can’t diagnose this disease, even if 1 die from it, it’s my fate.”

Qin Ming stopped Su Yingxue.

Su Yingxue knew that his worries were reasonable, so she followed him to the treatment room.

After discovering that Lai San had an infectious disease, Manager Qi isolated him in the same treatment room as before.

Su Yingxue was at the door, and Qin Ming personally went up to take Lai San’s pulse.

He was already a Doctor with superb medical skills. Usually, he would only need to take fifteen pulses to determine the result. Su Yingxue saw that he had taken thirty pulses on both hands and her brows furrowed even more tightly.

After Qin Ming checked his pulse, Lai San vomited again. The stench of vomit was overwhelming.

After he got Lai San to lie down and rest, he came out trembling. His lips were pale as he told Su Yingxue, “Miss, this is… That deadly plague from ten years ago!”

“The deadly plague?” This word existed in Su Yingxue’s mind.

Ten years ago, she was still a child, but she remembered that in Ye City, thousands of miles away, almost one-third of the city’s population died due to a deadly plague. The imperial court had sent many imperial physicians to treat it, but it was to no avail. Later, the renowned poison doctor Saint Ruan from the martial world intervened and managed to quell the disaster.

Now, ten years had passed, and this deadly plague had unexpectedly appeared in her clinic.

Su Yingxue brought Qin Ming out and instructed him to bathe and change clothes using mugwort. He also drank some mugwort soup, and changed his mask and gloves, before returning to her to provide information.

Qin Ming said, “Back then, I went to Ye City to witness this calamity and came into contact with one or two patients. Their initial symptoms were like Lai San’s. They were covered in pustules, oozing blood and pus, and kept vomiting. However, the further it progressed, the more miserable the condition of the patients became..”
