Cui's fever flared up again at night, and Yang Heshu sat by the bed to comfort her in a low voice, while Man Bao prescribed medicine and gave her injections. In addition, five other patients also had symptoms. Man Bao was so busy that he didn't stop until early in the morning.
Fortunately, all the people who live here are from good families. Even if the family members are not here, there is at least one servant who will take care of her.
After everyone passed the crisis, Man Bao went to wash his hands and change clothes, then lay down on her bed and lay still.
Although he was very tired, he woke up in the early morning after falling asleep for less than two hours.
Mrs. He didn't expect Zhou Man to wake up so soon, so she hurried in to serve her.
Man Bao yawned, changed his clothes and got up, and asked, "Are there any new patients in the hospital today?"
"Yes." Mrs. He paused and said, "No one was sent out today."
That is, no one became seriously ill or died.
Man Bao nodded, went to have breakfast first, and Yang Heshu came over and sat opposite her before finishing eating.
Only then did Man Bao think of him, and said embarrassedly: "Brother Yang, I have already forgotten about you."
Yang Heshu couldn't help laughing, "I don't blame you, you are too busy."
He picked up a bun for her and asked, "Xiazhou's naan is pretty good, and it's really good to eat with mutton soup. It's a pity that I can't treat you to it now. I have to wait until the smallpox is over."
"Brother Xue, you must treat us to dinner when it's over," Man Bao asked, "How is sister-in-law?"
"I fell asleep, I'm just slightly hot now, I look much better than last night."
"I'll go and show her in a while."
They had just finished their meal, when Li Guanshi reported back and forth: "My lord, Mr. Bai brought two people and they are waiting outside the gate, saying they are the family members of Imperial Doctor Zhou."
Man Bao got up immediately, "Brother, sit down first, I'll see you."
While talking, he said to Keke in his mind: "Buy it."
Keke happily asked: "How much?"
Man Bao said with a heartache: "Buy more, just buy... 50 pieces"
As soon as the voice fell, Man Bao heard the sound of jingling bells, and there were two consecutive jingles, which shows how fast Keke is.
At the door, the soldiers checked carefully before letting Zhou Man out.
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang led Daji and stood beside them, with Zhou Zhoulang and Zhou Lijun standing next to them.
Seeing Man Bao, Zhou Zhoulang and Zhou Lijun rushed forward, and one of them lowered his voice and said, "You don't want to die, why come to Xiazhou at this time?"
One asked, "Sister-in-law, can you cure smallpox?"
Man Bao first answered Zhou Zhoulang, "This is a holy order. People from the Tai Hospital are behind and will come too."
Then he answered Zhou Lijun, "It depends on the situation. Are you all okay?"
"It's okay," Zhou Lijun said with a smile after glancing at Zhou Zhoulang, "Don't worry, sister, we have no other skills, but we are very sorry for our lives. Xiazhou City is a city, so we rented a big yard to live in, and then One after another, they took out all the medicinal materials in their hands."
Man Bao breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said: "We are not from Xiazhou, we have no foundation here, and it is not a good thing to have a lot of medicinal materials and food."
"Brother Xiang also said the same, so we never hide the medicinal materials from others. The medicinal materials sold to various families are very expensive, but we also donate a batch to the county government. Every time the medicinal materials are pulled out, the neighbors will see them. Now Everyone knows that we have no medicinal materials on hand."
"It's a pity that we brought 20 cows from the grassland this time. Now we are locked in the yard. It is too difficult to feed them. We are trying to find a way to sell them recently," Zhou Lijun said: "But there is no shortage of cattle in Xiazhou , and not many people dare to go out at this time, we ourselves dare not, so... "
Man Bao looked at Bai Shan, Bai Shan thought for a while and said, "Leave it to Brother Yang, or I will kill you."
Not to mention Zhou Zhoulang, Zhou Lijun stared in surprise, "Killed them all?"
Bai Shan and Man Bao said: "I looked at the data yesterday, and went to the medical shed, and then I realized that almost half of the patients in the city came from the villages outside. Brother Yang said , some of the smaller villages have lost everything except some adults and children."
"So don't say that it's hard for people to go out now, even if the disease is over, it's impossible for you to sell these cattle in Xiazhou, so the best way is to kill them. Now that the city is short of meat, it won't lose money."
But it’s not necessarily the case if you continue to raise it.
The daily forage and cattle will also get sick and thin, and the more they raise, the higher the cost will be, and they may really lose money at that time.
Zhou Lijun frowned, and Zhou Zhoulang also frowned, but he made a quick decision, gritted his teeth and said, "Then kill them all."
Man Bao immediately said: "It's not easy for you to go out now, I'll go to Brother Yang for help."
She looked at the pills in the space, nodded with Zhou Zhoulang and said, "Wait here for me, I'll go find Brother Yang."
She went in and came out with Yang Heshu and two medicine bottles in her hands. She handed the medicine bottles to Zhou Zhoulang and Zhou Lijun, and said, "Eat the medicine pills here one by one. Don't eat too much, and don't eat them." Don’t eat, I counted the heads, one for each person.”
Zhou Zhoulang took a bottle and asked, "What kind of medicine is this?"
Man Bao said: "It can prevent you from contracting smallpox so easily, but the effect may not be certain, so you should pay more attention on weekdays."
Zhou Zhoulang's eyes lit up, and said: "If there is this thing, how about telling the recipe so that everyone can't eat it? We can do it ourselves, and maybe we can make a fortune."
Man Bao was speechless for a moment, Bai Shan frowned and said: "There is no prescription."
"Isn't this made by Man Bao? How could there be no prescription?"
Bai Erlang on the side said, "Oh, you'll know why after eating it. There's not much difference between having a prescription and not having a prescription."
Man Bao turned to stare at him, "This is medicine, not sugar!"
Bai Erlang said: "You say yes."
Bai Shan interjected, "Actually, sugar is also used as medicine."
Man Bao immediately said: "That's right, sugar can also be used as medicine."
Yang Heshu felt that Bai Shan got along well.
Hearing their discussion like this, Zhou Zhoulang poured out a medicine and threw it into his mouth. At first he thought there would be no water to swallow, but before he had time to swallow it, he tasted a little bit of sweetness, and then the sweetness became stronger and stronger. It gets stronger and stronger, until finally there is a faint smell of medicine coming out...
Thursday Lang: ...
He silently closed the bottle, stuffed it into his arms and then nodded, "Okay, I understand, let them eat when I get back."
He now believes that Man Bao really doesn't have a prescription, and he also thinks that the candy... pills shouldn't be made by her.
Zhou Lijun couldn't help but ate one, and together with his fourth uncle, he told his sister-in-law to take care of herself, didn't gossip, and left after saluting with Mr. Yang.
