Plague Doctor

The mist spread over the wilderness, and the weeds swayed in the shadows.

Running little girl's footsteps slowly slowly slowed down, the swing of the brown braid slowly stopped, and she sat tirelessly next to a low tree. But not long later, she suddenly looked back and saw a walking figure.

“Ellie, hello.” Gu Jun felt himself standing in front of the short tree.

He doesn't know which space-time it is, it's a real illusion.

Before he came, he thought the little girl was a key figure, and she wouldn't have finished the ceremony without dying. And now, looking at her childish face, if the dark spots and pustules appear, he hopes that he can save this young life.

“Doctor, are you going to bleed me?” Little girl asks, blue eyes are hollow, "or whipping for atonement? ”

These are common methods of healing black deaths in the Middle Ages in Europe, where bleeding therapy is used for all diseases, and praying for God's forgiveness by whipping patients is similar.

The little girl spoke calmly and had an unusual calm that did not correspond to her age, and her eyes were the pair on the head of the giant bug with a thousand eyes.

Gu Jun looked at his mind a little shaky, calm and antagonistic...

He knew suddenly that he had not yet extinguished himself, and that the two forces of light, the Son of Iron and the Son of Doom, were still fighting.

And he himself, still confronted the giant worm.

It's not just a single soul, it's made up of a lot of dead people. Perhaps the deceased still have a self, after all, the ceremony is not complete, and the plague is not irreparable.

“No, not at all.” Gu Jun shook his head and replied, “It's useless, it's just a product of ignorance. ”

“But isn't that the beginning of the new dawn?” The little girl asked that the dark spots on her face spread more widely.

“You mean the plague is a turning point in history.” The turning point in history is not just the plague, "said Gu Jun. I'm a doctor, but I know a lot of better ways to do that, like advances in technology, like the emergence of a drug. ”

His mind was pouring with thoughts, but his will was gradually solidifying.

He saw a medical kit next to him, the one that had been brought into the dream but had not completely disappeared.

In order to cope with possible infections, there are a variety of antibiotics in the box.

Gu Jun opened the box and picked up a bottle of streptomycin sulfate from the box. Looking at the size of this little girl, she formulated the liquid according to the weight of 25 mg per kilogram of child. “This is streptomycin, which is very good against the pathogenic bacterial plague bacteria of black death. I call you twice a day and you can get better in a week or two. ”

“What's the use?” The little girl's eyes are still empty, "we'll all die anyway. ”

“Indeed, we will all die in the end. What we do as doctors is let others and ourselves come as late as possible. ”

Gu Jun remembered the words of the driver. The doctor is either a god or a doctor.

“You're so stubborn.” The little girl muttered softly, slightly hesitating, “You can clearly possess the power of the gods...”

“Will my will still be free?” Gu Jun smiled, “If not, it's not me, it's something else.” He put the syringe in place and walked up to give the little girl a muscle injection, but the little girl backed away.

“Why are you obsessed with those humble human beings?” The little girl's face is full of black spots showing up struggling, “it is they that are holding you back to greatness. ”

Gu Jun was also thinking about this question. It was not the first time he thought about it, nor was it the first time he was asked that by the Nativity and the Lalaire Order.

Humanity?

Some of the scenery flashed before, and whether it was foreign, ancient or modern, humanity was similar.

That's right, he just saw a lot of humble ugliness of humanity that disgusted him like pus and filth.

But... he always felt that humanity wasn't just that...

For his part, the first two years had not been a day of drunkenness and dreams of delaying his studies, but now he was mixed up as an astronomical hero.

“Humanity is complicated, so complicated that I'm not sure the answer to your question, maybe I'm stupid, maybe I'm not. ”

Gu Jun said to continue walking, grabbing the little girl's right arm and putting her dirty linen sleeve up, "but I don't like a world full of fear and pain. Who made me take the Hippocratic oath that being a doctor is going to relieve pain? ”

The little girl's arms were very thin, just a little better than the crust bone, and were covered with pustules and dark spots that smelled bad.

“For me, to lead to greatness, the more pain the better. ”

Gu Jun took the cotton swab seriously and smeared it into a bottle of iodine and applied a spot to her arm.

“Like Huaqiao, William Morton, that's great. You know, before they invent and apply anesthetics, inhalation anesthesia, surgery is a sentence. With anesthesia, we humans can use science to fight pain. Oh, by the way, anesthesia is a turning point in history. It's the dawn of a new era. How about this? ”

He slammed the syringe into the little girl's lean arm muscle and pushed streptomycin into the needle, “I prefer a world of scientific exploration and power to a world of begging for power from the gods. Langton's old road, I'm not leaving. ”

“Hmm...” The little girl's face suddenly changed, and those blue eyes burst into a slightly creepy light.

A needle of streptomycin would normally not work so quickly, but the pustules and dark spots on her face and arms are fading at this point.

Her struggle grew stronger and stronger, and the light in her eyes grew brighter and brighter...

“Doctor,” she asked suddenly, with a soft tone, “can you save my mother too? ”

Gu Jun had a complex and elusive emotion in his heart and nodded: “I'll do my best, I'll do my best. ”

“My mother is a tailor in the village and she will make a beautiful dress.” The little girl smiled, “She said," When I grow up, do it for me... ”

The little girl's words were not finished. Gu Jun only saw a sudden and dramatic change in the surrounding scene. Back in the dark sea in the worm house, the giant worm in front of him was roaring wildly. It was wriggling with those limbs, much slower than it had just been, as if it had been hit hard.

It's got thousands of eyes in it, and one pair of blue eyes on its head changes its mind.
