Cai Yi was still asleep in a daze, when he heard a noise outside the door, and the door of the medical hall was knocked heavily.

He got up to see who had knocked on the door early in the morning.

He opened the door, and there were about dozens of people at the door, all with hoes and sticks, led by Aqing, who invited him to his parents to see a doctor yesterday.

At this time, Aqing's eyes were red, he looked like he was gritting his teeth, the stick in his hand was clenched tightly, and he was staring at Cai Yi.

"Aqing, what's wrong?" Cai Yi asked confusedly. He didn't know what was going on, so he asked.

"Folks, it's him! This Cai Yi! My father died after drinking the medicine he prescribed! It must have been his medicine that killed my father!" Ah Qing said angrily.

"You...... What did you just say, what did you mean that I killed your father?" Cai Yi felt a little inexplicable after hearing this.

"You're still here pretending to be confused for me! My father had woken up, and he drank the medicine you prescribed last night, and when he woke up this morning, he found that his father was dead!

"Impossible!" Cai Yi roared after hearing this, "I prescribed a heat-clearing and detoxification medicine for your father! It's not toxic at all! It's impossible!"

"You still want to quibble! I want you to pay for it with blood!" With that, Ah Qing threw the stick in his hand towards Cai Yi, fortunately the latter dodged in time, otherwise it would be a bruise.

Seeing this, the people behind Ah Qing stepped forward one after another, and they all came to seek justice for Ah Qing's father. Many of them are relatives and friends of Aqing's father before his death, and there must be an explanation for this person to die inexplicably.

"Aqing, calm down first, there must be something strange about this matter. Cai Yi walked out of the medical hall, he knew that there must be something strange here, and if he hid in the medical hall, it would only add to his suspicions.

"My father has no grievances with you, why did you put him to death!" Aqing's emotions were already a little out of control at this time, and he roared madly at Cai Yi.

"Aqing, you believe me. You said it yourself, I have no grievances with your father, why should I put him to death?" Cai Yi looked at him and said.

"Believe you, my father died after drinking your medicine, how do you want me to believe you!" Ah Qing patted his chest and shouted, tears streaming down his face.

"Three days, give me three days, and after three days I will give you an account. If it is really related to the medicine I prescribed, I, Cai Yi, should have died to make amends!"

At this time, a middle-aged man walked out. On weekdays, he often goes to Cai Yi's hospital to see a doctor, and he also has a good impression of this young doctor who doesn't charge money for medicine.

"Folks, listen to the old man say a fair word. Dr. Cai's usual behavior must be known to everyone, anyway, the old man didn't believe that he would do such a thing to poison people's lives. As soon as the middle-aged man said this, everyone fell silent. Seeing that no one spoke, the man continued.

"Since Dr. Cai said to give him three days, then give him three days. If there is really a misunderstanding, then we should make amends, and if it is indeed because of Dr. Cai's medicine that caused the death of Aqing's father, then as Dr. Cai said, it will be handed over to everyone to deal with. ”

After everyone heard this, there was no more commotion, after all, most of these people had received Cai Yi's favor, and now it was an ungrateful act.

"Ah Qing, do you think this is good?" In the end, the middle-aged man also glanced at Ah Qing, after all, he still had the most say in this matter.

"Then according to what Uncle Wang said, if Cai Yi can't give a complete statement after three days, then I will pay for the blood debt and blood to sacrifice my father's spirit in the sky!" With that, A-Qing turned around and left, and everyone dispersed.

Cai Yi was also relieved when he saw everyone disperse. At that moment, his legs went limp, and he sat down on the stone steps at the door.

He held his head, and after thinking about it, he decided to go to Ah Qing's house to have a look, after all, he could only know the reason if he saw Ah Qing's father's corpse with his own eyes.

When he came to Ah Qing's house, he found that Ah Qing was not at home, and he thought that he should go to buy supplies for the funeral. Thinking of this, Cai Yi's mind thought of the scene that happened in the morning, and it was inevitable that his heart was not a taste.

Cai Yi's father was a well-known doctor, he saved many people, but in the end he couldn't save himself, and he died of illness on the bed.

He pushed the door open, and a foul smell hit his face. He covered his mouth and nose with a cloth and walked in.

He found that Aqing's father's body was still on the bed, but his body had begun to rot and stink, a large swarm of flies were circling around the body, and there were some red spots on his skin.

"What is this?" Cai Yi took a closer look, and the decomposition of the corpse was already quite serious. If you want to say that it is the beginning of spring, it will take three to seven days for the corpse to rot and stink after death, but Aqing's father just died last night, and it began to rot and stink the next day, which must be strange.

He took out a knife from the medicine box he had brought with him, then put on special gloves and carefully cut off a piece of skin with red spots, and put it in a small porcelain bottle, ready to study it when he returned.

He looked around the room, as if looking for something.

He saw a porcelain bowl on the ground with a missing corner, and when he smelled it, it still had a strong smell of medicine, if nothing else, it should be the bowl where Aqing's father drank medicine last night. He picked up the bowl, wrapped it in a cloth and put it in the medicine box.

Just as he was about to leave Ah Qing's house, he bumped into Ah Qing coming back with a bunch of paper money ingots.

"What are you doing here!" Ah Qing saw him, and his eyes couldn't stop resentful.

"I ...... I'm here to investigate the cause of your father's death. He lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Aqing, that kind of look had also appeared when his parents died.

"Investigate the cause of death! Hmph, my father was killed by you! What else are you talking about investigating the cause of death!" Aqing's body began to tremble unconsciously, and the paper money ingots in his arms were scattered to the ground, and his fists were clenched to death.

"If you believe me, I will definitely give you justice. ”

"Get out, I don't need justice, a murderer like you!" Aqing said through gritted teeth.

He wanted to reach out and pat Aqing on the shoulder, but he didn't have the courage. When he was about to walk out of the door, he glanced back at Aqing, who was standing in place crying, sighed, and walked away.

At night, Cai Yi sat at a table in the medical hall, lighting a faint lamp. The food sent by Su Xiaoxiao on the table was already cold, and he didn't care about taking a bite of the meal, and since he came back, he has been flipping through the ancient books, trying to find any clues from them.

Su Xiaoxiao fell asleep on the chair next to her, she knew what happened in the morning, and she couldn't rest assured that Cai Yi was alone, so she accompanied him here.

"The fury is prevalent, there is zombie pain in every family, and there is crying in the room. or die with the door closed, or lose the family. The infected person has weakness in his limbs, white eyes, vomiting and diarrhea, and fever all over his body. After death, the body decomposes from the inside out, and red corpse spots appear on the skin. If you touch the skin of the plague, you will pass it on to those who use it. ”

He flipped through an ancient medical book and stared at the few numbers on it.

"The plague comes from livestock, and those who are infected are spread from one to ten, ten to hundreds, hundreds to thousands, and thousands to thousands, and then a country is destroyed. ”

He slammed the table and stood up, his eyes full of fear.

This scared Su Xiaoxiao awake from her sleep, "What are you doing? Su Xiaoxiao complained.

"It's not good, Aqing's father should have eaten livestock with the source of the epidemic, so he died of the epidemic. ”

"You...... You mean the epidemic?" Su Xiaoxiao heard the word "epidemic, and the whole person suddenly sobered up. Although she has not experienced it, she can hear from the older generation that there was a cholera incident in Minyue a few decades ago, and no one cared about it at that time. But just half a month later, tens of thousands of people have contracted cholera. The court had no choice, so it ordered the city to be burned, and the cholera at that time killed and injured countless people.

"Yes, it is very likely that Ah Qing's father was infected with the epidemic, and the symptoms he had before his death and the degree of decomposition of the body after his death, as well as the red spots on the body, are all consistent with the characteristics of the epidemic. Cai Yi frowned and said in a deep voice.

"Then what should we do?" asked Su Xiaoxiao, looking at him.

Cai Yi fell silent, and after a while, he said: "I'm not sure if Aqing has been infected with the epidemic, but if you don't burn Aqing's father's body as soon as possible, the consequences will be unimaginable when it spreads." ”

"Hey, why is this bowl missing a corner?" Su Xiaoxiao saw a porcelain bowl with a missing corner on the table, so she wanted to reach out and pick it up to take a look.

"Don't move!" Cai Yi roared when he saw it, which scared Su Xiaoxiao.

"It was brought by me from Aqing's house, and it should be the bowl that Aqing's father drank medicine before his death. It is very likely that it has been contaminated with the source of the epidemic. Cai Yi saw Su Xiaoxiao retract her hand, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then you still keep such a dangerous thing with yourself. You don't want to die!" Su Xiaoxiao was a little angry when she was obedient, and complained straight to Cai Yi.

"I'm not going to do research, if I don't investigate, where can I find the cause of Aqing's father's death. ”

"Cut. Su Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him, "Look at you, do your best for their good, but what about them, on the other hand, they are a stick." ”

"No matter what they think, since I'm a doctor, it's my responsibility to save lives. ”

"Yo, I didn't see you being so great. ”

Cai Yi smiled slightly after hearing this, "You only found out now? I thought you wouldn't be able to find out in your life." ”

"Great man, you should eat first, only when you are full will you have the strength to save the common people, right?"

After hearing this, Cai Yi found that the food sent by Su Xiaoxiao was placed on the table and had not moved, and his stomach began to growl.

He sat down at the table and began to devour.

"Do you want me to give you the old heat?" Su Xiaoxiao brought a bowl of water and put it beside Cai Yi. "Eat slowly, be careful not to choke, and no one will rob you. ”

Cai Yi looked at her and smiled, "If you want me to say that your craftsmanship is amazing, if you open a restaurant in the future, the business will definitely be booming." When the time comes, I'll have you to keep me. ”

"Eat less, eat fast. ”

Su Xiaoxiao sat beside him and looked at him quietly, and she suddenly realized that it was good to live a small life like this.

They may not know that a catastrophe is quietly coming......
