Li Xiaogong: "I can't do it, I can't do it!"

Li Ji: "Your Highness, please go back to the palace, Huangxian is not the place you should go!"

One is mild and the other is slightly tough, expressing the same meaning, and did not take Li Chengqian to Huangxian.

Wang Jue smiled and said confidently: "The Holy Lord has agreed, and the two of you don't need to persuade again." Since I can bring my disciples out, I can naturally guarantee that they will not be infected with the epidemic. ”

Er Li saw a foal behind Wang Jue, and his brain was buzzing. You said that you can take the older two, forget it, why do you even dare to take the prince outside? Even Fang Yiai and the youngest little girl will not let go?

"Saving people is like fighting fire, let's set off quickly!" After Wang Jue finished speaking, he rode his horse and galloped, and the disciples made a gesture to Er Li, and also rode a horse to follow behind Wang Jue.

At this point, seeing that there was no way to persuade them, they had to bring people to follow. The most entangled person in his heart is Li Xiaogong, he is such a lone seedling as Li Chongyi, how can he be willing to let his son come to adventure. Also, there is Lao Tzu here, but he follows the teacher's actions, cheating father. He can finally understand the mood of the saint, his son has been robbed... was robbed .......

Because they brought supplies and doctors, the group arrived in Huang County seven days later. Second, Li and Yin Liu Du of Dengzhou Prefecture also had a friendship of sharing weal and woe, and they sent someone yesterday to spread the news that Li Chengqian was also in the envoy. Liu Du's eyes were black at that time, and he fainted. No matter how worried he was, he had to face the reality, and he waited at the city gate early to greet everyone.

Seeing Li Xiaogong and Li Ji, Liu Du seemed to have found the backbone, and he said to the two with tears in his eyes: "Two brothers, you are here!"

"It's... I haven't seen him for just a few days, why is this the virtuous brother!" Li Ji looked at Liu Du's thin and deformed face, and the rickety back that did not match his age, and the iron man couldn't help but be moved.

Li Xiaogong stood next to him and watched Liu Du silently, quite a feeling of being a difficult brother and a brother, sympathizing with each other, and feeling unspoken.

"Ahem, can we enter the city?" Wang Jue knew that her voice at this time was very damaging to this kind of emotional atmosphere, but saving people was like fighting fire, and she was eager to know the situation in the city.

Only then did Liu Du remember that the prince was also here, and his behavior was really out of shape, he bowed to Wang Jue and said, "Weichen has seen His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Wang Jue moved away, just exposing Li Chengqian behind him to face him. Inevitably embarrassed by Liu Du, Li Chengqian's face was as usual, and he raised his hand gently and said, "Liu Fuyin, please get up." ”

Liu Du almost didn't get up, and admitted that he was the wrong prince of a country, and the responsibility can be big or small. He has not had time to make up for the crime of dereliction of duty, and now he has added another one, so that he will not faint again.

Li Chengqian saw that he couldn't stand it anymore, and was afraid that he would faint and no one would tell him the details of the city, so he hurriedly spoke to reassure, "This is my teacher Wang Xianzi, his temperament is naturally not as good as ordinary people, you are not wrong, let's go to the city first." ”

Although Liu Du is not amazing, he can be regarded as a capable official, and he immediately entered the role after getting up, "After the flood, the people in the city fell ill one after another, and their symptoms were very similar to the plague, and I have isolated the patients. We don't have cement, the broken dikes have to be filled with sandbags, and the flood water still gushes through the cracks. ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and in this case, he had done a good job.

Entering the city was another scene, especially Er Li felt deeply, the city in front of him was very different from when they left. I saw that the originally lively street market was almost closed. The originally clean roads are littered with rubbish, and there are not many people on the streets.

Li Ji asked curiously: "Where have all the people gone?"

"I have informed the people about the quarantine of the patients, who are afraid of contracting the epidemic and rarely go out. There are also young strong men who are helping with the embankment, and there are also some people who have fields outside the city who are also busy saving the crops. ”

Wang Jue listened to Liu Du's answer and raised his evaluation by one point. Instead of being afraid of causing panic and deceiving the people, he told the truth as much as possible to minimize the number of infected people, and it was not easy to make this decision immediately. It can also be seen that the people trust him, telling the truth is a very dangerous decision, and if it is not done well, it will cause a situation where the people will flee in large numbers, and the people who leave will easily carry the epidemic to other places.

"Liu Fuyin is a good official. ”

Liu Du was almost moved to tears, with Wang Jue's current reputation and status, it was definitely very helpful for her to say such things in her mouth.

On the way to the quarantine area, Li Chengqian did not forget to raise the doubts in his heart, "Teacher, there are often plagues after I observe floods, why is this?"

"The source of the disease came from the livestock that had drowned in the flood and the household garbage of the people. These things will rot when they are blistered, producing something called bacteria that remains in the water. People can get sick when they drink this water, and if they touch something else after touching it, they can spread germs. Bacteria are microorganisms that are invisible to the naked eye, and this knowledge is difficult to say, and you will not learn it until a long time later. ”

Wang Siyuan then asked, "Then how to effectively prevent the plague?"

"Plague is a type of epidemic whose main symptom is a high fever that does not go away. To prevent it, animal carcasses and garbage must be burned and buried at the beginning of the flood. Anyone who has been in contact with the source of the disease is required to take a hot bath and destroy the clothes used at that time. Even drinking water on weekdays also needs to be noted, where the well water has far from the earth's veins for the top, there are from the nearby rivers and lakes seepage second, the city near the ditch sewage mixed into alkali, with the need to boil. ”

If Liu Du was lifeless just now, now he is bursting with hope! If he can sit in his current position, he is naturally not a simple-minded person. Therefore, he listened to the folk rumors about Wang Jue and believed it very much. The family knows how to fight for fame, he does not deny that Wang Jue is talented, but he has never believed that there is such a knowledgeable person in this world.

Today's conversation completely broke his previous views, and seeing that the other party could even name the source of the disease, it can be seen that its inheritance is very systematic and self-contained. He looked at Wang Jue expectantly, and couldn't help but interject: "Is there a good way to treat the disease?"

Li Chengqian thought that Liu Du was very interesting, and he joked: "If the teacher has no choice, I won't go on this trip, Liu Fuyin is not short of people like us to do chores." ”

"Hehe... His Highness smiled. Liu Du smiled embarrassedly, thinking that they had seen that they had disliked, this study tour group that didn't even seem to be able to do a lot of work.

Seeing Liu Du's reaction, the disciples of the Hundred Schools Sect came back to their senses and looked at him with dangerous eyes. Fortunately, I have already walked outside the quarantine area, which can be regarded as a temporary interruption of this topic.

Compared to the depression in the city, the situation in the quarantine area is a different story. Rows of thatched huts, each with the moaning of patients can be heard. There are very few healers, and even fewer are willing to work here.

Wang Jue wanted to go into a few rooms to check, and after confirming the patients' conditions, he tried his best to prescribe the right medicine. Seeing that Li Chengqian was also following behind Wang Jue with red eyes, Liu Du was frightened, "His Royal Highness the Prince, you can't go in!"

With this roar, the entire quarantine area became noisy. Everyone knew that this place was going to be hidden, so how could the imperial court send the prince over?! Even so, the people were still looking forward to a miracle. They dragged the sick body out of bed, pushed open the door and looked out.

The old man with a stiff body and shaking legs and feet, the woman with a dull yellow face and a crying child in her arms, the little Langjun with dull eyes and a thin body, the uncle with a flushed face and coughing loudly, and the little lady looking at them timidly with anticipation in her eyes. Thousands of patients with similar conditions appeared in front of them at once, except for Wang Jue, who had seen the end of the world, and Er Li, who had been on the battlefield, everyone was moved, and their eyes were full

An old man asked in a trembling voice, "But, has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come to see me and wait?"

"I'm the crown prince Li Chengqian, we have brought doctors and medicines, you can recuperate with peace of mind, and everyone will recover. When Li Chengqian said the last sentence, he couldn't hold back his tears.

Understanding natural disasters from the records of historical books is a way, and hearing descriptions and reports with your ears can also make people feel sad and anxious, but nothing can match what you see with your own eyes and feel it with your own eyes, which is why Wang Jue must bring his disciples here no matter what.

Wang Jue led everyone to one of the huts, and several of the little ladies in the house took a few steps back, and one of them shouted: "Your Highness, don't come here, and thank you when we are well." ”

"The people are simple, and their own life and death are still thinking about me, I... I....... Li Chengqian hid his face and wept, he didn't know what words to use, what kind of language to describe his inner feelings at the moment. There is emotion, sadness, guilt, and dissatisfaction with one's own ability.

Li Chengqian still didn't listen to everyone's persuasion, and followed him into the house. Wang Jue has always been cautious in her work, she went to every room and checked every patient before prescribing medicine. The imperial doctor ordered Ying to come with him this time, just to steal the teacher from Wang Jue, and after he got the prescription, he hurriedly took someone to decoct the medicine according to the prescription.

Li Chengqian looked at Wang Jue's encouraging gaze and the trusting expressions of the senior brothers, he straightened his body, his face was stern, and he said majestically: "Liu Fuyin, you go and take people to clean up the livestock carcasses and garbage, and by the way, let the officials tell the people about the source of the disease that the teacher has said." General Li and Li Shangshu, when you take people to repair the embankment, you must catch the person who destroys the embankment. ”

The three of them said in unison: "The minister obeys the order!"

After the three of them left, Li Chengqian began to gently tell the people about the plague, "Later, I will send someone to take everyone to bathe, all the previous clothes will be handed over, and those who stay privately will be punished as felonies." The house you live in also needs to be carefully cleaned before you can live again, so now go to the courtyard and wait. If you are bedridden and can't get up, everyone will help lift it first. ”

Afraid that there would be that stingy person who would be clever and cause everyone to suffer together, all of Wang Jue's disciples divided their labor to help. Even Fang Yiai, who is always the best to be lazy and playful, also does things seriously with red eyes.

From sunrise into the city to sunset, the patients re-entered the house, and when they heard the sound of snoring coming from inside the house, everyone was smiling and satisfied.

Illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread. The disciples insisted on helping in the quarantine area every day, and Wang Jue and the doctors always paid attention to the patient's condition. The progress of a qiē is smooth, but Wang Jue only prescribes the right medicine for the situation, and does not use the magic medicine in the system, and there are still people who are too sick and pass away.

In the inn that was temporarily requisitioned in Dengzhou Mansion, Li Chengqian knelt on the couch and wiped his tears, "She said that she thanked me after she got better, but she died, if the teacher was there just now, he would definitely be able to save her, and blame me for being too useless." ”

"How can I save her? Without the miracle medicine, I can only watch her die. What should I do when I only cry for this person who died in front of your eyes, do you know that at this moment when we are talking, in our territory in Datang, there must be people who died because they have no money to see a doctor? There must also be those who died of starvation, those who were killed by people, and those who were drowned by water, so they don't need to care because they can't see it? You said that it would be good if I was there at the time, and the teacher felt that it would be better if the embankment could be protected, so it would not happen. Li Ji felt that it would be best if he could catch even the people who broke the levee when he arrived last time. What should you do if you don't want to see similar scenes in the future, if you don't want to feel remorse, if you don't want to see someone you care about die?"

After Wang Jue finished speaking, he got up and left the room, leaving Li Chengqian alone to kneel on the couch and think.
