"Those of you who study medicine should have heard of the Jiangxia epidemic. The boss took a sip of tea, looked at Cai Buguo and said lightly.

Cai Buguo stared at the tea in the cup in front of him and nodded thoughtfully.

"In the year of Jihai, Gengzichun, the Jiangxia epidemic, tens of thousands of people were infected with the disease, and everyone was terrified. Without leaving home, the alley is uninhabited. However, those who can do their best, and the epidemic is gone in less than a month, and the lights are on, and all countries praise it, which is a great blessing. ”

"Do you all have a good memory when you study medicine?" the boss smiled and asked. ”

Cai Buguo shook his head, "It's not that I have a good memory, it's that I can blame it for getting this question in the graduation exam at that time." None of us answered this question. ”

"I believe you if one or two people can't answer, but if you say that no one answers, then I think you're talking nonsense. The boss added some water to the teapot, apparently the previous pot of tea was not enough.

"It's true, because the answer to that question isn't even in the book. ”

"Oh, is it?" the boss seemed interested, "Tell me about it." ”

Cai Buguo sighed, seeming a little lost.

"I remember that question very clearly, it was about the serious spread of the Jiangxia epidemic at the beginning, which had infected more than 10,000 people in less than half a month, and a city was sealed for one country at that time. Then he asked us what was the cure for the Jiangxia plague. ”

"Do you answer now?" the boss asked again, with a different look in his eyes.

Cai Buguo shook his head again, "I roughly guess that the epidemic at that time was caused by the virus carried by livestock, which was eaten and touched by people, and the infection spread. However, given the level of medical care and the effectiveness of treatment at that time, there was no way to curb the spread of the epidemic. ”

"So don't you have to admire the wisdom of the ancients? Not all knowledge books have it. The boss smiled at him.

"The story isn't over yet, do you want to keep listening?"

You continue. Cai Buguo nodded and replied.

"Oh, what's the matter?" said the boss, laughing.

"I feel that this story you are telling will benefit my medical research, so please keep going. Cai Buguo looked at him, his eyes were full of sincerity.

"Don't worry, have a cup of tea first. The boss pointed to the tea in front of Cai Buguo and motioned for him to drink it.

Cai Buguo picked up the tea in front of him and drank it all.

The boss's eyes were deep, and the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually dissipated.

"What is more terrible than a disaster is the human heart. Those who study medicine can cure diseases, but they can't cure people's hearts. ”

Ah Qing died, died on his own bed, almost overnight. When he arrived for the autopsy, Aqing's body was already showing signs of decay and stinking, and there were red spots on the body, exactly the same as the cause of his father's death. Not only that, but most of the people who were surrounded in front of Cai Yi's medical hall that day also had vomiting and diarrhea, and the high fever did not go away. For a while, all the spearheads were pointed at Cai Yi.

"Cai Yi, get out of the way for me!"

"You murderer!

"Cai Yi, I never expected you to be such a vicious person, you really embarrassed your father!"

The county magistrate led a group of fathers and villagers to block the door of the medical hall, saying that they wanted to ask for an explanation. From time to time, there are rotten eggs and rotten cabbage thrown at the gate of the medical hall.

But until rotten eggs and rotten cabbage were piled up at the entrance of the medical hall, they were all hoarse and no one appeared.

"Cai Yi, if you don't open the door again, we will break in!" the county magistrate spoke, and a group of officials behind him had already lifted a large wooden stake and prepared to forcibly break the door.

"Have you thought about going out? You know that going out now will only cause their resentment!"

Su Xiaoxiao is now following Cai Yi inch by inch, for fear that he will have some accidents, but who knew that he was woken up by a noise this morning, and the entrance of the medical hall was surrounded by the county magistrate and people.

Su Xiaoxiao came out of the house and kept pulling Cai Yi to ask him not to open the door, and now that Aqing's death has aroused their anger, those people outside the door are waiting for Cai Yi to appear and then use him to vent their anger. No one can say what will happen then.

"If I don't go out and explain it now, then they really think I'm a murderer. I don't want my father to be saddled with a lifetime of infamy!" Cai Yi looked at Su Xiaoxiao with a serious face and said in a deep voice.

Su Xiaoxiao took his hand, and refused to let him out.

"The group of people outside has gotten out of control, do you know what it means for you to go out now, maybe they will do something to you, in case ......" Su Xiaoxiao looked at him, not daring to say any more.

"The bell needs to be tied to the bell, this matter started from me, so it is natural for me to give an explanation. ”

"No!" Su Xiaoxiao looked at him and bit her lip lightly.

"If you have three long and two short, what do you call me to do!" After speaking, Su Xiaoxiao lowered her head, no one saw that her eyes were already red, she just grabbed Cai Yi's hand and said nothing.

Cai Yi was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then showed an inappropriate smile. He reached out and touched her head.

"No, didn't I say I wanted to marry you, a manly man, and I will do what I say. ”

Su Xiaoxiao's face was slightly red after hearing this, and she looked at him with a pair of eyes, wanting to say something but couldn't say it.

"Don't worry, I'll come back when I explain the cause and effect of the incident clearly. ”

Su Xiaoxiao let go of her hand lightly and took two steps back, always keeping her head down.

"Promise me, don't get an accident. ”

Cai Yi nodded, and then walked towards the door.

Just as the county magistrate was about to lead someone to break down the door by force, the door of the medical hall opened. Cai Yi slowly walked out of the medical hall, and when everyone saw Cai Yi, they all quieted down. But I don't know who threw a rotten egg out, and one stone stirred up a thousand waves, everyone picked up the rotten egg one after another, and the rotten cabbage was thrown at Cai Yi.

Cai Yi didn't dodge either, and let these fall on his body, head, and clothes.

"Cai Yi, you murderer!"

"How many more people are you going to kill!"

The sound of everyone's invective shook people's ears, and many people had already rolled up their sleeves, and if it weren't for the county magistrate here, they would have rushed up and knocked him down.

"Folks, you should be quiet first. At this time, the county magistrate spoke, and for a while it was quiet again, and everyone stopped their movements.

"Cai Yi, have you ever been to Aqing's house yesterday?" the county magistrate looked at Cai Yi and asked, the sense of majesty in his tone was self-evident.

"I did. Cai Yi replied flatly, and after everyone heard the answer, the noise started again, and some people couldn't help but pick up the stones and throw them at him.

The stone hit Cai Yi's forehead unbiasedly, and a big bag immediately bulged out on his forehead, spilling out a trace of blood.

He covered his forehead and looked coldly at the people in front of him.

The county magistrate waved his hand and motioned for them to calm down and not to be too excited, after all, he was a parent official, and it would not be good if he let the villagers influence him.

"Cai Yi, do you say that Aqing's death has anything to do with you?"

"County Magistrate, if nothing else, Aqing's body should be decomposing from the inside out, with red spots on the skin. At this time, even if a person dies, it will take at least three days to rot and stink, and it has only been a short night and it has begun to stink and rot, don't you think it's too strange?" Cai Yi asked rhetorically.

"Then what do you mean?" the magistrate asked, confused.

"I mean, the cause of death of Aqing father and son is not because of anything else, but because of the epidemic. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, looked at each other, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.

The county magistrate just smiled, "There has never been an epidemic in Jiangxia County since ancient times, and now this epidemic is just what you say." ”

"If a person with an epidemic is vomiting and diarrhea, has a fever, coughs and wheezing, the county magistrate can go to check whether the sick person has the same symptoms. Cai Yi said.

"Yes, my brother-in-law has been suffering from a high fever since he came home yesterday and is still lying in bed. ”

"My third uncle too, yesterday vomited and diarrhea, and he couldn't eat a grain of rice. There were discussions in the crowd, but this time no one threw anything on Cai Yi's body.

"Quiet!" the magistrate yelled around. "Cai Yi, you are simply a bunch of nonsense! Jiangxia County does not leave any stone uncovered under the rule of this official, does not close its doors at night, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, how can such a disaster come as you say! You are clearly arguing for your crime!"

Cai Yi had to smile bitterly after hearing this. "County Magistrate, this is not to say that there is a problem with your governance, no one can predict such a natural disaster. ”

"Don't be alarmist here! This official was ordered by the Son of Heaven to govern Jiangxia County, and since he was ordered by the Son of Heaven, how can he talk about natural disasters!" The county magistrate was also a little angry, the emergence of the epidemic often seems to be a place where the governance is not strict, which will lead to the spread of the epidemic.

"County magistrate, even the Son of Heaven can't say anything like a natural disaster. The top priority now should be to burn the bodies of Ah Qing's father and son as soon as possible, and then gather the sick people for unified treatment to avoid the spread of the epidemic. Cai Yi said anxiously.

"Bold Cai Yi! You dare to talk about the Son of Heaven without permission!" the county magistrate flicked his sleeves angrily, "Come on, escort this Cai Yi back for me!"

After that, a group of officials behind the county magistrate rushed forward to arrest Cai Yi, and the latter was suddenly like ashes, and his eyes were full of disappointment.

"County magistrate, the more you delay now, the more dangerous the villagers will be. This is the one who doesn't care about the life and death of the villagers!" Cai Yi was pressed by the officials and shouted at the county magistrate.

"Take it away!" the magistrate ignored him and ordered the officials to take him back.

"Wait!" a shout came from inside the infirmary, and everyone watched. Su Xiaoxiao walked out with a bowl of water.

When Cai Yi saw it, his face suddenly turned worried. The bowl that Su Xiaoxiao was holding at this time was the bowl that Cai Yi took out from Aqing's house and that Aqing's father had drunk.

"What are you doing!Su Xiaoxiao, I warn you!" Cai Yi roared at her, trying desperately to break free from the officials who were holding him.

"Su Xiaoxiao, what are you trying to do?" the county magistrate was puzzled when he saw this, so he asked.

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at Cai Yi and smiled faintly.

"The county magistrate doesn't believe in the epidemic, so good, what I am holding in my hand is a bowl that was taken out from Aqing's house and used by Aqing's father before his death. I drank this bowl of water, and if I had the same symptoms as the sick person, it would prove that Cai Yi was right. There is indeed an epidemic. ”

The county magistrate looked at her indifferently, "Su Xiaoxiao, if it's really as Cai Yi said, then won't you also get infected with the epidemic if you drink this bowl of water?" Okay, if you really have the courage to drink it, the official will let Cai Yi go for the time being." ”

"Don't!"

She looked at Cai Yi, who was trying her best to break free from the servants, but she looked very calm. He smiled indifferently and raised his hand to drink the water in the bowl.

Cai Yi seemed to have infinite strength and broke free from the servants. rushed up and hugged Su Xiaoxiao tightly.

"Don't touch me now, it's dangerous. Su Xiaoxiao buried her head in his arms, and two lines of tears unconsciously wet the placket on his chest.

"Why! Why did you do this! Don't you know that you are likely to die like this!" Cai Yi's voice gradually lowered, and only the two of them could hear it.

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head in his arms, and wrapped her hands around his waist.

"I know you're going to save me, because I'm going to marry you. ”
