Chapter 552: Reversal (Asking for a monthly pass at the beginning of the month)
"Miss, the front is the capital of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom."
Sheng Qingdai did not go on the road alone this time, but took her entourage and her subordinates with her.
The ancestor of the Sheng family and Sheng Qinghao went out after her, and they had to bring more people and things.
Sheng Qing Dalema looked at the gray city wall in front of him.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, it had just rained, the ground was muddy, the wind was blowing from the sea, and it carried the salty smell peculiar to the sea, reminding them that the capital of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom was a city near the sea.
The people of the Sheng family who came from the Yaowang Valley rarely saw the sea, and they rarely went out of the valley.
Generally, when the Sheng family poured out of the nest, it was when the vicious disease and plague were rampant in the Zhongzhou mainland.
Fortunately, in the past 1,500 years, there have only been a handful of such times.
But the Eastern Yuan Kingdom actually accounted for it twice.
A few days ago, when malaria appeared in the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, the ancestor of the Sheng family asked the Sheng family to prepare, but later they heard that the harm was not big and had been controlled, so they did not go out of the mountain.
Unexpectedly, a few days later, malaria, which I thought had disappeared, made a comeback, and it was even more severe.
The ancestors of the Sheng family have never seen this kind of situation, but fortunately, their Sheng family's accumulation of medical skills is not ordinarily powerful, and their family medical books happen to have a prescription for falciparum malaria, and they have been planting that herb in their own medicine garden.
Thousands of years have passed, and the Sheng family's medical books can still live countless people, which is also a great merit.
Sheng Qingdai came in a hurry, to save her life.
But looking at the human-shaped stretchers covered with white cloth densely placed under the city wall, I still gasped. He commanded: "Put on gloves and a mask, and you can't take them off until you go into the city." ”
The Sheng family responded and put on the gloves and masks that they had prepared for themselves with an isolation effect. Dismount and check out the edge of the city walls.
The gate of the capital city of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom was ajar, and there were people carrying stretchers one after another, and they were placed under the city wall one by one.
From a distance, it looks like a circle of white flowers, surrounding the entire capital.
Sheng Qingdai's heart couldn't help but heavily.
It seems that the situation is even more dire than they expected.
"Big brother, what's going on?" Sheng Qingdai stopped an old man carrying a stretcher and asked softly.
The man saw that Sheng Qingdai was tightly wrapped from head to toe. Nodding his head, he said, "This girl, you should leave here with your people quickly." ”
Why is that? I...... I came to the capital of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom to visit relatives. Sheng Qingdai said quietly. Why do you want to persuade me to leave? ”
"Relatives?" The old man laughed miserably, "Do you want to go under the city wall over there and see if your relatives are lying there?" ”
Sheng Qingdai glanced at it and said, "It doesn't seem to be ......"
"None? That may have burned down and buried the other day. The old man's face sank. He who died of the plague. I can't leave it for long. These corpses here will soon be buried. ”
When Sheng Qingdai heard this, her eyelids couldn't help jumping, she bit her lip, stopped asking, turned around and got on the horse, and greeted her own people: "Go!" ”
Soon, the group rode into the city on fast horses.
Xu is the epidemic is serious. These days, there are no outsiders coming to the capital of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, and there are not even officers and soldiers guarding the city at the gate to check the road.
Sheng Qingdai and her party were the only outsiders who entered the city these days.
Enter the capital. Sheng Qingdai immediately felt the gloomy fog in the city.
Everyone was in a hurry, wrapping themselves tightly from head to toe, and not even saying a word to each other.
The shops in the market are closed, and even the inns and restaurants are not open.
A gust of wind blew, rolled up a few half-burned yellow mounted papers, and swooped down on people, even though it was in the middle of summer, it also oozing withered cold.
Sheng Qingdai's eyes were about to pop out.
Where is this the prosperous and noisy capital of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom that she saw a few months ago?!
It's really going to be a dead city......
"Miss, where are we going to stay at the hotel? This inn is closed...... "A member of the Sheng family looked around, looking for a Ke inn that could live in people.
Sheng Qingdai followed them down a street in Dongchengfang District, and finally said, "Let's go to Xichengfang District." ”
She originally wanted to save people first, but when she saw this situation, she had better go to Xie Dongli first to ask for a clear understanding.
The group went to Xichengfang District again.
Unexpectedly, there were several roadblocks in front of Xichengfang District, and there were many officers and soldiers standing guard there, and ordinary people could not approach Xichengfang District at all.
Sheng Qingdai was angry when she saw it, and stepped forward with a horsewhip and asked, "I'm going to visit Vice Minister Xie, can you let me in?" ”
"Vice Minister Xie?" The soldier guarding the barricade rolled his eyes, "Vice Minister Xie is not here, you can go to Dongchengfang District to find them." ”
"Huh? Don't they live here? I remember they lived here, huh? Sheng Qingdai was very surprised.
She had lived in Xie Mansion for a while with the ancestor of the Sheng family and Sheng Qinghao, and she still remembered the location of their house.
The soldier cut off, "It used to be. However, the little prince suffered from the plague and was driven out of the Xichengfang District, so they lived with the little prince in the Dongchengfang District. ”
"What did you say?!" When Sheng Qingdai heard this, her eyes turned black for a while, and she almost couldn't stand steadily, she impulsively strangled the soldier's collar and shouted angrily: "Why did the little prince suffer from the plague?!" You dare to say a word, I'll make you look good! ”
"You, what's crazy!" The soldier pushed Sheng Qingdai away, and scolded and said, "Where did the little girl's skin come from?" There's no shame in pulling and pulling! I told you everything, and you still don't listen?! They're in the East Side! East Side! Do you recognize the north, south, south, and north! ”
Sheng Qingdai was about to kick the person again, but the Sheng family's subordinates had already surrounded her, forcibly pulled her away, and persuaded in a low voice: "Miss, this is not the time to play tricks." Think about it, where else can we go? ”
"Where to go?! I don't know! Sheng Qingdai glared at the soldier, "Where is Dongchengfang District?" You make it clear! ”
The soldier was strangled by Sheng Qingdai's neck and taught a lesson, and he was also a little afraid. Although it is said that the little prince is no longer good, His Majesty the Emperor is also ill, and he will be the world of the emperor's grandson in the future. But...... Vice Minister Xie and Princess Huguo are fine, who knows what will happen in the future?
Thinking about it like this, he didn't dare to be too snub to the relatives of the Xie family, so he had to straighten his collar, cough, and said, "The Lady of Zhongzhenguo Mansion in Dongchengfang District, they went back to the princess's maiden house." ”
Sheng Qingdai frowned. remembered that Xie Dongli's wife Yuan Yingsleeve was the title of the princess of the country.
She turned over and got on her horse, "Let's go, go to Dongchengfang District!" ”
So they returned to Dongchengfang District. I asked from door to door, and finally found the door of Mrs. Zhongzhenguo's house.
Sheng Qingdai got off the horse uneasily, looked carefully at the house, and found that there was no white hanging. It should be fine, right?
She nunu mouth. Let someone knock on the door.
The corner door creaked open, and a tightly wrapped door poked its head out of it and asked, "Who?" Who are you looking for? ”
The Sheng family said secretly, he finally saw a living person who spoke human words, he wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said with a smile: "We are the Sheng family, our eldest lady is worried about the plague in the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, so she has come to help treat the disease." ”
"The Sheng family? Who is the Sheng family? That disciple didn't react for a while, and the last time Sheng Qingdai was with the ancestor of the Sheng family, Sheng Qinghao, was the Xie family who lived in Xichengfang District. Therefore, the people on the side of the Lady of Zhongzhenguo's mansion are not familiar with the Sheng family.
"If you go to spread the word, you will say that I Sheng Qingdai is here. Let Vice Minister Xie come out to see me. Sheng Qingdai couldn't wait, pushed the subordinate who knocked on the door just now, and talked to the door herself.
Seeing that Sheng Qingdai was not small, the man suddenly thought of the famous Sheng family on the Zhongzhou continent, I don't know if these people are not, and thought that the eldest aunt said that he would invite the Sheng family to treat the little prince, and immediately changed his face, and said with a smile: "Wait a minute, the little one will go to pass it on immediately!" As he spoke, he closed the corner door, and ran to the second door with a smoke.
The mother-in-law on the second door heard that it was the Sheng family, and the name Sheng Qingdai, so she hurriedly said: "You wait, I'll go and ask my aunt and grandmother!" ”
Of course, the aunt and grandmother in her mouth are the Ying sleeves who got married.
Yingsleeve didn't sleep well in the past few days, and devoted herself to studying various prescriptions, dispensing medicine for Xiao Lei, and doing her best to save his life.
With her and Xie Dongli joining forces, Xiao Lei did not give his life like those poor people who had a fever for three days and died in another three days, but were still struggling in high fever.
"Madam, the mother-in-law on the second door reported that a girl named Sheng Qingdai is here and asks to see you outside the door." Cai Yun replied to Yingsleeve on the cloister at the door.
Ying Sleeve was stunned, and the name Sheng Qingdai entered her mind from her ears.
"Yes...... Dai Dai?! She stood up in surprise and delight, "The letter was sent out just the day before yesterday, why did she arrive today?!" So saying, he ran out.
The corner door of the Lady of the Loyal Kingdom's mansion creaked open again, revealing a pale sleeve with a hint of haggardness.
"Is it the Grand Girl?" Yingsleeve asked tentatively.
A woman wearing a gray scarf and a green robe turned around, "Mrs. Vice Prime Minister Xie?" ”
"Dai Dai! It's really you! That's great! That's great! Yingsleeve pounced out, grabbed Sheng Qingdai's hand, and tears flowed out uncontrollably, "You're here!" But I'm looking forward to you! ”
Sheng Qingdai saw Yingsleeve's tearful appearance, her heart sank, and she took her hand and asked in a low voice, "Could it be that the little prince is really sick too?" ”
Yingsleeve nodded, choked up and couldn't speak, only pulled Sheng Qingdai to the door.
Sheng Qingdai glanced at her subordinates, and they also followed.
The corner door creaked behind them.
When she came to the inner courtyard, Sheng Qingdai followed Ying Sleeve into the room where Xiao Lei was recuperating.
"You see, that's what it looks like. We don't know how many pairs of cinchona cream we used, but it didn't work. The fever just subsided in the morning, and the fever started at noon. It's been four or five days, and if you don't come again, he really won't be able to bear it. Yingsleeve wiped her tears with a handkerchief.
Sheng Qingdai didn't speak, pursed her lips to check Xiao Lei's pulse, opened his eyelids to check, and then probed the temperature of his forehead, as well as the tongue coating, throat, and even the joints on his body.
At this juncture, whatever she says, Ying Sleeve does what she does, and doesn't care about anything else at all.
Sheng Qingdai checked it before she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, this kind of falciparum malaria, our Sheng family happens to have an ancestral prescription to deal with." As she spoke, she brought the medicine box over and took out a small jar from it, "I'll go and decoct the medicine, you look at him." ”
The Sheng family's method of making this special medicine of Artemisia annua is more peculiar, it is necessary to soak the Artemisia annua grass with water, and then take the juice from the wood twist, and take it directly, not decoction with hot water, which has no effect.
This time, when they heard that the malaria in the Eastern Yuan Kingdom was so severe that even cinchona cream didn't work, they thought of this recipe in the family medical book.
There are several acres of Artemisia annua grass planted in the Shengjia Medicine Garden all year round, and now it is midsummer, and the growth of Artemisia annua grass is gratifying.
So they harvested hundreds of catties of day-faring grass, soaked it overnight, ground the juice with large wood, and finally put it in a sealed jar for use.
When you want to use it, mix it with boiled cool white water and take it.
Sheng Qingdai went to the ear room to find the maids and asked for boiling cold white water, then mixed it with artemisia grass juice, and personally held it for Xiao Lei to take.
Yingsleeve had never seen such a medicine, and said in surprise: "Don't you even need to fry it?" Can you just drink it? ”
Sheng Qingdai nodded, "If you want to fry it with fire, this medicinal effect will be gone, only the unheated Artemisia annua grass juice is the most effective." ”
Although Ying Sleeve was skeptical, for the sake of the Sheng family, she still endured it and didn't speak, and watched Sheng Qingdai personally give it to Xiao Lei.
Xiao Lei ate half of this first bowl of medicine and spit it out.
Sheng Qingdai was not discouraged, and after an hour, she transferred another bowl to Xiao Lei.
This second bowl, Xiao Lei actually drank it all.
In the evening, when Xiao Lei drank the third bowl, his breathing was no longer so hot, and the red tide on his face gradually faded.
Yingsleeve breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said, "Thank God! - Dai Dai, you are my savior and Xiao Lei's savior! As he spoke, he was about to kneel down for Sheng Qingdai.
Sheng Qingdai hurriedly pulled her sleeves: "Mrs. Xie doesn't need to be polite, this is what I should do as a doctor." With that, she packed up the medicine box and said, "Where are all your patients here?" Take me to see it. Someone asked, "What about Vice Minister Xie?" Are you still out treating the sick and saving people? ”
This is to treat the ordinary people of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom.
Yingsleeve was extremely moved, and said, "Don't you take a break?" Our fifth master has been outside for several days, and we are all in Beicheng to help deploy manpower. The patients are concentrated in the south and north cities. There are a few people in the east side ......"
Sheng Qingdai thought for a while, "Then let's go to Beicheng first, I'll exchange Vice Minister Xie back to rest." Now that the epidemic is urgent, he can't be too tired. If you are too tired, you can also get sick easily. ”
Ying Sleeve's heart jumped when she heard this, and secretly said that this medical theory was exactly the same as what Xie Dongli taught her, but she didn't say anything, just said gratefully: "Miss Sheng is reasonable, I'll take you over." You can't get too tired, though. Well, in an hour, I'll take you home and rest. ”
Sheng Qingdai smiled and said, "I'm fine, those people's illnesses can't wait, I can save one more one." I won't be tired for too long, and when my ancestor and eldest brother come, I will be able to rest. ”
"Huh? The ancestor of the Sheng family and Artemisia annua will also come?! Ying Sleeve was even more surprised, and hurriedly said to Tianheshi: "Amitabha! Our Eastern Yuan Kingdom can be regarded as saved! ”
