Xu Jie showed his worry on his face.
He said: "Well, the situation is still serious."
It has been found in several counties, towns and villages within Tianhai County.
The village has now been sealed off.
I don't know if I can control it.
Xu Jie was trapped in Fugu City and could not leave easily, so he sent a message to his trusted attendant guarding outside the city, asking the attendant to take the token of the head of the Xu family back so that it would be convenient to withdraw supplies and not give the outside world any handle - the Xu family was not united either. Some voices were always opposed to helping Wu Xian, dissatisfied with Xu Jie's choice, and wanted to control Wu Xian as a puppet.
Xu Jie doesn't worry about anything else.
I'm just worried that these people with unclear minds are seeking death.
If Wu Xian killed them for this reason, he really couldn't stop him.
Wu Xian can even attack his own brothers.
When Xu Jie thought of this, his head started to ache.
Shen Tang first frowned, then relaxed his brows and said with a smile: "Wen Zhu, don't you want to hear the good news from me?"
"Good news?"
Xu Jie looked at Shen Tang and his heart seemed to speed up for a moment.
Shen Jun could still laugh when he told him about the epidemic in Tianhai. Could it be that - a possibility emerged in his mind.
"Could it be that Mr. Shen has found a cure for the epidemic?"
"Not really." She didn't say too much.
When Xu Jie heard this, he looked lost for a moment.
Shen Tang followed up by saying, "Although we haven't found a cure yet, we have figured out the source of the epidemic, and it's only a matter of time before we can control it. Rather than calling it an 'epidemic', this time it's better to call it a 'poison disaster', caused by poisonous insects."
"Gu disaster?"
At first, Xu Jie didn't react to what kind of "Gu" it was.
Until I heard the word "蛆".
His face suddenly darkened: "Someone cast a spell?"
Who could quietly poison Tianhai, Fugu, and Shangnan? The lethality of this poisonous insect is almost the same as that of the plague. Once it cannot be controlled, it will spread and cause countless casualties. Xu Jie looked at Shen Tang's bandaged left hand, blood flowing from the wound and staining the white cloth, and instantly understood what was wrong with the wound.
Mr. Shen is risking his life for the common people he governs.
How could Xu Jie not feel good about this wall
"The wound is not serious, it has been bandaged." Noticing Xu Jie's gaze, Shen Tang smiled and curled up his left palm, then retracted his hand and patted the mat beside him, motioning Xu Jie to sit down and have a cup of tea to moisten his throat and cool down. "There will be news soon."
Don't panic about anything.
"It's no use getting anxious now."
If the poisonous insects were really lured out, the "epidemic" crisis would be resolved, and Xu Jie would be able to pass the news back.
Xu Jie had no choice but to comply.
Shen Tang smiled and made him a cup of herbal tea.
"Calm down your temper and calm your mind."
Xu Jie was not in the mood.
His eyes kept glancing towards the door.
Shen Tang took a sip of the cooled tea and wondered if Wu Xian was overwhelmed by the "epidemic" and the government was in chaos. To be honest, she even felt a little happy when she thought about Wu Xian's bad luck.
Who made Wu Xian treat her like a leek and cut her again and again? She could only swallow her anger! It was a good wine business that made her rich, Wu Xian ate meat and she drank soup! In the end, she only made a small amount of money by relying on the "copycat" Dafa.
It's a secret joy.
She only wanted to see Wu Xian in misery, but she didn't want to see innocent people die because of the "epidemic". If she found a cure, she would share it with Wu Xian and Gu Ren as soon as possible. Now she was racing against time with the King of Hell.
This wait lasted half an hour.
Finally, Dr. Dong came over wearing protective clothing.
But there was no joy on his face that Shen Tang expected.
Shen Tang and Xu Jie both felt a tightness in their hearts.
"Mr. Dong, what's the situation?"
Xu Jie hurriedly stood up and walked forward.
"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it." Hearing Xu Jie addressing him, Doctor Dong was flattered. He didn't know Xu Jie, but he had heard of the Tianhai Xu family. As the head of the family, Xu Jie's status and reputation far surpassed him as a doctor.
"Has the poisonous insect been lured out?"
Shen Tang didn't have the patience to listen to their meaningless small talk.
She got straight to the point
Doctor Dong: "It was drawn out..."
Shen Jun's bowl of blood was extremely attractive to the poisonous insects. When he brought it into the ward and placed it near the patients, the poisonous insects in their bodies tried to get out like crazy. The patients who had been in a coma for a long time were also tormented and even regained consciousness.
"Isn't that a good thing?"
Why doesn’t Dr. Dong look happy
Naturally because—
"Mr. Shen, I'm afraid this epidemic is not just caused by poisonous insects." Doctor Dong said this with difficulty.
Doctor Dong hadn't slept for as long as Shen Tang hadn't slept. He was old and his body couldn't stand it, but he still forced himself to work around the clock. Seeing that Shen Tang and the others didn't seem to understand, he continued to explain: "There are a total of 47 patients in the ward, with mild, moderate and severe symptoms. Only 25 of them have reactions to the Gu worm... The remaining 22 people are probably really infected with the disease."
Xu Jie: “…”
Shen Tang: “…”
Oh my goodness, poisonous insects + plague
Is this a stacking debuff
"How, how could this happen?"
Doctor Dong was not very surprised.
Otherwise, why do people say that the poisonous insect is a weird thing
This kind of poisonous insect not only makes people have a reaction similar to that of the plague, but also uses the human essence, qi and blood as nutrients to make it produce pestilence. If the pestilence is transmitted to other people's bodies, they will be infected with the plague. It may also be related to the pollution of well water.
The well water not only contained Gu worm eggs, but also the bodies of rats that had been fed with rotten meat and Gu worm corpses. Rats, as animals, like to frequent all kinds of dirty, cold and damp places, so it's hard to say what kind of disease these rats carry.
All I can say is—
What bad luck.
Seeing Shen Jun's panic and confusion, Doctor Dong gave Shen Tang a reassurance. He said slowly, "But, Shen Jun, don't panic. My prescription is useless for patients infected with Gu worms, but it is somewhat effective for patients with epidemic diseases."
Treat the disease with the right medicine.
The method used by Dr. Dong to treat the poisonous insects was useless, but it was effective for mild cases of the disease. Two patients took the medicine and broke out in a hot sweat. Their body temperatures were not as hot as before. Their pulses were much more stable than before.
This also helped Dr. Dong regain some confidence.
“Is it effective?”
"Um."
"Huh..." Shen Tang's mood was pulled back from the bottom. The effect at least proved that Dr. Dong's treatment idea was correct, which was better than being helpless. She looked at Xu Jie and asked, "Can we ask Wen Zhu to copy a prescription and medical record?"
Doctor Dong thought he had heard it wrong.
"Copying prescriptions and medical records?"
He glanced at Xu Jie inconspicuously.
The old man thought he had heard it wrong.
Although he was just a doctor, with no good family background and not very good medical skills, he was still quite old and had a lot of experience to make up for some of his shortcomings. For example, he knew that Xu Jie was from the Tianhai faction and was Wu Xian's confidant.
Who is Wu Xian
Someone who is on close terms with Shen Jun.
The two are working together now, but it’s hard to say what their future will be like.
In other words, Wu Xian is a potential rival.
Weakening the opponent is a disguised way of strengthening yourself. Is there anything more convenient and easy than using an epidemic to bring down the opponent's camp
Mr. Shen doesn't have to do anything, just take care of his own little piece of land, and Tianhai and Wu Xian will be seriously injured.
A good neighbor is one whose strength does not threaten you.
The outside world will not blame Shen Jun for this.
He thought about it for a while, and tactfully reminded Shen Tang: "One disease, one prescription for one person, one prescription for a thousand diseases, a thousand people, a thousand prescriptions. The same prescription cannot be suitable for everyone. We don't know Tianhai's situation, and if we rashly give the prescription and medical records, I'm afraid..."
Doctor Dong did not point it out directly.
But they also tactfully informed me that the prescription should not be given randomly.
It’s not that Dr. Dong is unwilling to treat other people. As a doctor, he wishes that there would be no disease in the world. But he is Dr. Heyin, not Dr. Tianhai, so he should put Heyin and the people of Heyin first.
"That's okay. Tianhai has become very prosperous under Brother Wu's management and has employed many doctors. When they get the prescriptions and medical records, they should be able to adjust the dosage formula according to the patient's specific situation. We only provide a general idea, and even if it doesn't work, Brother Wu won't be angry with us." Shen Tang said this frankly, as if he didn't understand the euphemism in Doctor Dong's words.
Didn't she really understand
I'm afraid only Gu Chi and Shen Tang themselves know best.
Not everything in this world needs to be weighed. At least in the face of this disaster, Shen Tang chose to save people. She couldn't ignore the lives of people for a future rival. If she really had to fight with Wu Xian in the future, she would win with her strength, not with such a low-level conspiracy.
She won't, and doesn't need to.
Of course, this arrogance was not revealed.
The most intuitive feelings of Dr. Dong and Xu Jie were Shen Tang's kindness, enthusiasm, sincerity and frankness, which touched the latter the most.
_(:з)∠?)_
In this regard, my lord is not as good as Mr. Shen.
His hands didn't even shake when he was cutting Shen Jun's leeks.
Xu Jie said emotionally: "Thank you, Mr. Shen, on behalf of the people of Tianhai."
Looking closely, my eyes were a little wet.
While Dr. Dong admired Shen Tang, he also felt a little ashamed - compared with Shen Jun's crystal clear heart of benevolence, the pros and cons in his mind were so filthy that he felt ashamed when he thought about it.
Gu Chi, who had listened to the whole process, said: "…"
He seemed to have discovered some truth.
The reputation of the lord is directly proportional to the imagination of these people - oh, the word "proportional" was taught by the lord. The general meaning is that the stronger the imagination, the better the reputation.
"My lord!" Gu Chi waited until Xu Jie and Doctor Dong had reached their peak of imagination before he pretended to have just come over. His followers behind him each held a large-caliber ceramic bowl with more than 20 rotten rats in it. "The things have been salvaged."
It's not easy to find these mice.
Shen Tang pinched his nose, took a look, and waved his hand in disgust.
"Take it down and burn it. By the way, is the wellhead sealed?"
"It has been sealed, and people have been assigned to guard it strictly."
Gu Chi has always been cautious in his work.
He was worried, so he sent people to search the upper and lower reaches of the river to see if there were any "rat that had escaped the net". If other animal carcasses were found, they would be burned. At the same time, he drafted a notice ordering the people of Fugu to drink only boiled water and not raw water.
This notice still needs to be reviewed by Shen Tang to confirm that there is no problem and then stamped with the county governor's seal before it can be issued.
"I always trust Wangchao to do things."
She stamped the notice without even reading it. Shen Tang didn't say anything about Gu Chi doing things without permission - if she had to give her instructions one by one before doing anything, she would die of overwork sooner or later. Wang Chao was like the boss's little cotton-padded jacket!
Xu Jie couldn't wait to send a message back to Tianhai.
He followed Doctor Dong to copy it.
Shen Tang also captured Gu Chi as a soldier.
Ask him to copy it as well and send a copy to Shangnan.
Gu Chi smiled and said, "This is a big favor."
Shen Tang said as a matter of course: "What I want is favors! There is no favor in this world that is difficult to repay! Especially for people like Wu Zhaode and Gu Ziyi who value their reputation. Hehe, I want to see if Wu Zhaode dares to cut my leeks next time!"
Anyone who eats her will have to spit it out!
Shen Tang has already figured out how to extort money.
Gu Chi: “…”
Well, that's right.
This is the lord Shen Jun he knows.
In order to improve the treatment, Doctor Dong shamelessly proposed to Shen Tang to get a portion of Gong Shuwu's blood and the blood of ordinary people to see how attractive the blood of Wenxin literati, Wudan warriors and ordinary people is to the Gu worm. Hearing this, Xu Jie and Zhao Feng, who was worried about Tianhai's family, also took the initiative to put a small half bowl of blood over.
The insect's reaction to everyone's blood varies.
Shen Tang's blood can make them riot and go crazy, and they will be hooked in no time. A few literary scholars and brave warriors can also achieve the purpose of attracting poisonous insects, but the time it takes varies. The blood of ordinary people has no appeal to poisonous insects.
Doctor Dong twirled his gray beard.
Sighed: "How many gentlemen in the world are as sincere and kind as Mr. Shen? People's blood is different."
The heart pumps blood throughout the body.
He believes that the better the heart, the cleaner the blood.
If the heart is not healthy, the blood will be dirty too.
When two identical documents were delivered to Tianhai and Shangnan, the epidemic in Heyin had been completely under control. The number of patients admitted to the ward dropped drastically for two consecutive days. Except for the common people in the observation area and the ward, most of the common people outside did not know what happened. They only knew that martial law had been imposed recently, and the government had issued several confusing orders in succession.
Let them kill rats. They will be rewarded three cents for each rat killed. They can drink hot water. If anyone drinks raw water, they will be fined and punished if caught.
The fine is okay, it’s not much.
Once they are punished, it will be difficult for them to get work assigned by the government, and they will also be despised by their neighbors.
Because being punished means being "ungrateful".
He disobeyed the governor and despised Lord Shen.
Mr. Shen is the benefactor who saved them from danger!
After a series of measures were taken, the common people followed their instructions and on the fourth day, no more patients infected with the disease were received. Doctor Dong adjusted the prescription several times, and those with mild and moderate symptoms were out of danger. Those with stronger constitutions were able to walk.
Now only the seriously ill ones are still struggling between life and death.
Fortunately, there were several scholars with literary talent who took turns to use their literary energy to keep people alive, and with the daily medication, no one died!
This is almost impossible to do.
But it happened right in front of Dr. Dong!
He was also a personal participant.
Tianhai and Shangnan had much more twists and turns.
Shangnan was the first to discover the "epidemic". Although the village was sealed off immediately to prevent the spread of leprosy, the treatment process was slow and several corpses were covered with shrouds and carried out for burial every day.
More and more every day.
The common people in the village looked numb.
Some common people even prepared to flee with their families.
If you continue to stay here, you will die!
But how could they escape from the checkpoints set up outside the village
A forced breakthrough would only result in a piercing arrow.
