26. Chapter 26
It's said that she should move faster, but in fact, it is impossible for her to go out to meet people with such a sloppy appearance. Gu Chaoge came out of the prison and took the first bath in Taishou Mansion for many days, rubbed mud to remove insects, burned old clothes, and put on clean new clothes, and then was allowed to go out to meet people.
Because of the haste of the incident, this new dress was found from Wei Taishou's back house. The ladies and ladies were gorgeously dressed and had beautiful skirts, and Sheng San took a lot of effort to find such a neat and simple style that met Gu Chaoge's requirements.
Lao Wu's status is embarrassing, but his skin is thick enough to circle around the Gu Chao Song Troupe. So I was able to take a bath, change into beautiful new clothes, and be proud.
"Where's Yi Gongzi?" Gu Chaoge packed up and came out, looking left and right, and seeing that the Taishou Mansion was empty, except for some guards, there was almost no one, and he couldn't help but be very curious.
"Childe is waiting for you in Kuixing Tower." Sheng San replied as he beckoned someone to lead a livestock out of the backyard.
When Gu Chaoge saw the conspicuous white spots on the head of this livestock, he immediately exclaimed excitedly: "Little donkey! She rushed over and grabbed the donkey's head and rubbed it, and was even more surprised to see that it was still carrying her luggage and cage: "Little donkey, you are so clever that you can find this place by yourself!" β
Of course it didn't find it on its own...... Sheng San was speechless, this stupid donkey probably ran wild for a while, until he was exhausted, so he found a place with fertile water and grass to eat and rest, and happened to meet the Red Turban Army camping. The driver of the army transporting grain and grass was its former owner, and he recognized the stupid donkey at a glance, combined with the things it was carrying, guessing that Gu Chaoge might have encountered an accident, so he reported to Yi Cui.
However, Sheng San felt that even if she explained herself, she would probably still think how smart this donkey was, and she knew how to go to the original owner.
"Miss Gu, you order the things in the cage to see if there are any leaks, and the son said that the more things you can use now, the better." Sheng San said so, Gu Chaoge nodded, Lao Wu saw her beside him, and took the initiative to help her unload the cage and count things. Gu Chaoge couldn't help laughing: "Uncle Wu, what are you doing, do you really plan to follow me?" β
The family heirloom book is still in your hand, can I not follow you, Lao Wu thought so in his heart, but said with a smile on his lips: "Then naturally, the little girl is a great miracle doctor, who will not follow you?" Little did he know that he would soon regret his decision.
Order something good and get going. Pushing open the door of the Taishou Mansion, Gu Chaoge's heart suddenly cooled.
The street outside turned out to be the same as Taishoufu, empty and frighteningly quiet. The doors and windows of every house were closed, and even the shops were not opened, and the word "Shunmin" was written on the door of the house, so as to pray for the Red Turban Army not to retaliate. The air was filled with a faint smell of blood and the smoke of fire, there were several blackened wooden houses smoking in the distance, there were dried blood stains in the cracks of the bluestone slabs, the motionless black shadows in the alleys were corpses nine times out of ten, and most of the Red Turban soldiers walking in the street were holding a rope, and several prisoners were tied at the other end of the rope. Sheng San and a few soldiers escorted Gu Chaoge on the road, and the oncoming comrades saw them protecting a woman, and they all cast curious glances, guessing Gu Chaoge's identity.
And those captives all lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at people, Gu Chaoge just glanced at them casually, and saw two familiar faces, those were the two big men who captured her back to the Taishou Mansion.
Kuixing Tower, is the center point of the intersection of four streets in the southeast and northwest of Yangzhou City, which has both sacrificial functions and alarm and bell ringing functions. Looking at the top of the tall Kuixing Tower, Gu Chaoge wondered why he had to climb to this building so hard with Yi Cui's legs.
When she went upstairs and saw Yan Zhao and Xue Ji, she guessed in her heart that Yi Cui must not have come up voluntarily, but was forced by Yan Zhao.
Because on the Kuixing Tower, you can see the whole picture of Yangzhou. Gu Chaoge just walked through the wealthier West District, and the more he went to the East District, the more refugees were living on the streets, and there were more and more people lying on the ground coughing, convulsions, fever and many other symptoms.
This is not the one that Gu Chaoge saw some time ago, people come and go, prosperous and lively, and Yangzhou City is full of flowers.
"Doctor Gu, Zhilan said that you have treated some epidemic patients in prison?" Gu Chaoge was stunned for a moment, only to realize that the person who interrupted her thoughts was Yan Zhao. Seeing Yan Zhao walking towards her, she reflexively shrank back: "Yes, so don't come here." β
Yan Zhao was confused by her reaction, and secretly said that she felt terrible again? Although there was blood on his armor and on his face, he was obviously smiling kindly!
Gu Chaoge quickly answered his doubts, and she said seriously: "You are the master of the Red Turban Army, anyone can be infected with the epidemic, you can't." This epidemic is not a terrible plague that will kill people soon, but it will not end lightly until the weather turns cool, the plague in Yangzhou City has begun to spread, you should hide in a clean back area, put those with fever symptoms in the central area for centralized observation, and the front area will concentrate on epidemic patients, do not let them run around. Also, precautions are important and should be ......"
She chattered for a long time, Yi Cui, Yan Zhao, Xue Ji, and the three of them didn't speak, smiling, as if they were listening to her patiently. Gu Chaoge said a lot of things, and then he realized that he was too lenient, usually when he encountered the plague, the local governor of Dajing usually used to leave the infected people outside the city to guard, waiting for them to fend for themselves.
So......
"You guys, save it or not." Gu Chaoge pinched the corners of his clothes, he was anxious, and he didn't dare to force them, so he could only stomp his feet and mutter.
No one answered her. Xue Ji smiled, Yan Zhao patted Yi Cui's shoulder, and told him with a sad face, and said seriously: "Zhilan, this living baby must not let her go again." If she had her, why would they have killed so many innocent brothers in the Battle of Changzhou?
"Huh?" Gu Chaoge looked up blankly, he didn't know why, but Yan Zhao had already gone downstairs with a smile with Xue Ji and the others, and they said that there were still things to take care of.
Leaving Yi Cui and her, Gu Chaoge had big question marks written on both eyes, and looked at Yi Cui with a puzzled face. Seeing her like this, Yi Cui couldn't help but want to laugh, and hooked his finger at her: "Come here." β
She didn't suspect him, and walked over obediently, and Itsui leaned against the railing of the building, and with one free hand, he grabbed her shoulder, and said, "Carry it over." β
What, what? Gu Chaoge was stunned and turned around by him, with his back to Yi Cui, facing the east of Yangzhou, and the homeless area was in full view.
"Now that you have occupied it, you are naturally responsible for its people," Itry's voice sounded soft, "You want to save them, don't you?" β
Gu Chaoge nodded vigorously: "Then you still need to say?" "It seems that I am very dissatisfied with his extra questioning.
Itri smiled again, and he pressed her shoulder, the thin, thin shoulder that seemed to shatter at the slightest pinch. Compared with the last time I saw her, in the past year, she has really lost a lot of weight, and she must have suffered a lot.
But this pair of weak and slender shoulders can now take on the heavy responsibility. Itri believes that it will be surprisingly reliable and determined, as she can surprise people every time.
"Okay, you hear clearly, Gu Chaoge-"
"What?"
"From this moment on, your words are the holy decree in Yangzhou City."
Gu Chaoge turned around slowly and stiffly, she stared at Yi Cui's smiling face in a daze, her heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably violently for some unknown reason, and she suddenly felt a wave of dizziness in front of her.
This, this kind of scary words, can the hateful big spider not talk nonsense!
*
Itri was certainly not joking, he never liked to joke. From the moment Gu Chaoge walked down the Kuixing Tower, the entire Yangzhou City was like a huge machine, slowly and orderly began its operation.
The concept of prevention and isolation in the front, middle and rear areas comes from Gu Chaoge's master. This was a population inventory and transfer work that required a large number of people to complete with the cooperation of a large number of people, and it was completed quickly and vigorously with the iron support of the Red Turban Army.
All the storehouses and warehouses of the grain merchants were quickly taken over by the Red Turbans to stop any phenomenon of taking advantage of the opportunity to raise the price of medicine and grain, and recruited a large number of skilled men in the hospital to help with the work with the temptation of a daily sum of money and meals, and at the same time required the cloth merchants to contribute a large amount of cloth to be used as the doctors' face towels and medical clothing, which was said to be also good for the prevention of the plague. At the same time, the former watchmen and storytellers were recruited into teams to preach to the villages outside Yangzhou with gongs and measures that were said to prevent the plague.
Gu Chaoge's every request was indeed implemented truthfully. Because behind her stood the Red Turban Army who had just swallowed a third of Zhang Suiming's territory, and the big spider whose head was full of all kinds of accurate calculations and spread webs everywhere to allocate manpower.
Even so, it's not enough, it's not enough. There are hundreds of people who have been infected with the epidemic, but Gu Chaoge has only one. Even if she received two patients in one tea time, she could only receive 192 people for 12 hours, not to mention that it was impossible for her to go without eating, drinking or sleeping all day.
Some of the doctors in Yangzhou City took the initiative to come to the front area and receive patients at the forefront of the plague with her. Sometimes it works, but most of the time, the patients who have been seen do not improve, and she has to see it in person.
What kind of patient is in a hurry, what patient can wait any longer, Lao Wu, who has a good eye for life and death, was rudely pushed to the front area by her. Not only is he responsible for distinguishing the priority of the order of reception, but he also has to go to the pulse to diagnose whether the suspected infected patients in the central district are okay.
At the beginning, Lao Wu was proud that he had been so valued, and the people around him, including the soldiers, were proud of his respect, and he felt the sense of glory of the number one eunuch beside the emperor. After a long time, he realized that it was a chore that worked all day and the wheel was turning. It's a pity that it's too late when he knows, and when he gets on the thief ship, don't think about getting down lightly.
However, when QiΔ was just on the right track and Gu Chaoge was busy, a soldier handed her a note. Coincidentally, it turned out to be the person who caught her in front of the gate of Chuzhou City, and he was now Yan Zhao's personal soldier.
"Yan Zhao looking for me? At such a time? Gu Chaoge frowned: "It's urgent? β
The soldier nodded: "Human life is at stake." β
Since it was a major matter of human life, Gu Chaoge didn't think about it, rolled up his sleeves and walked with the soldiers. However, halfway through, the soldier actually grabbed her and asked her to go into the Taishou Mansion to change her clothes and take a bath before going.
What kind of life-threatening thing should you bathe and change clothes? Gu Chaoge hurriedly changed his clothes in a daze, and when he passed by the front hall of the Taishou Mansion, he saw that there was a lot of people and people coming and going, so he couldn't help frowning, crossed his waist, jumped in and shouted: "So many people are staying here, they are impenetrable, do they want to infect each other?" "Taishou Mansion is classified into the central district, and there are few suspected patients with fever who are fishing in troubled waters.
She is now speaking in Yangzhou City, which can be said to be forbidden, so her momentum is also enough. The clerks and military attachΓ©s in the front hall, as well as the old men and merchants, etc., saw that it was this little aunt and grandmother, and they couldn't help but shut up, and they all looked at Yi Gongzi, the person in charge of the front hall.
Yi Cui received everyone's call for help, and reluctantly spoke: "Sheng San, open the window, the person who has finished reporting the matter, leave quickly." Even he listened to Gu Chaoge, obediently obedient, and didn't have a word of rebuttal.
In this regard, Gu Chaoge was very satisfied. Raising his feet to leave, he caught a glimpse of Yi Cui's blue eyes, frowned, and retracted his feet: "How long have you stayed up without resting?" Can you hold on, I'll give you the number and pulse. β
"No, I'm fine," Yi Cui quickly tucked his hand into his sleeve, "You go to the Wei family first, there is no delay in the matter over there." β
The Wei family?
Gu Chaoge quickly thought about it: "Could it be that you want me to go and see that Miss Wei?" "How big is this family, she is so busy, she even asked her to change her clothes and take a shower before she can go.
"Exactly," Izri said with a little helplessness on her face, "I must save her." "Otherwise, what the wealthy Wei family promised, to bear all the expenses for the treatment of the plague, as well as a large amount of grain and grass subsidies for the Red Turban Army, would be like a boiled duck, all of which would fly.
Sometimes, the lame spider of all evils also has to bow its head to the shape shì.
Gu Chaoge, who was adhering to an important mission, did not expect that he would meet another person in front of the gate of the Wei Mansion.
"General Yan?" What is he doing here, and he still brings his relatives
Keep up appearances? Could it be that I heard that Miss Wei has the appearance of a sinking fish and a goose, so she left military affairs and ignored it and came to hunt for beauty? Gu Chaoge, who didn't have a good impression of the Wei family, thought suspiciously, and looked Yan Zhao up and down.
She didn't expect that she had guessed half of it.
Putting aside this, Yan Zhao's door-to-door effect was excellent, and the eldest master of the Wei family personally led his family out to greet him. Hearing that the divine doctor who was in charge of treating the plague also followed Yan Zhao, Master Wei was overjoyed, rubbed his hands and asked excitedly, "Dare to ask who the divine doctor Gu is?" "Looking at it, the people who follow Yan Zhao are all soldiers, and there is no white-haired old woman and fairy doctor.
"I guess what Master Wei said might be me." The soft and glutinous girl's voice silently drilled out a petite girl from behind Yan Zhaowei'an's body. Master Wei's smile suddenly froze there, and then looked at her suspiciously, and then at Yan Zhao, as if he wanted to ask Yan Zhao, was he teasing himself?
"Since it's a matter of human life, don't do more greetings," Gu Chaoge saluted Master Wei, his expression was not very happy, "Please take me to see Miss Wei quickly." β
