Chapter 607: The Beginning of the Clouds and the Sunsink Pavilion (18)
Meng Fusheng shook the old mayor's hand without disgust and insisted: "Old mayor, just let me give it a try, I really have a way." At the same time, he checked the pulse of the old mayor, and it was not the end of the road, he breathed a sigh of relief, there was still salvation.
The old mayor's eyes were still suspicious, and he wanted to retract his hand, but Meng Fusheng held it too tightly.
He finally relented, "Okay, I'll let you try, but can you promise me to send Yaya out first, she's a poor child." ”
"Grandpa Mayor." Yaya's eyes were red.
The old mayor's dry and pus-filled hand touched the girl's head, "Good boy." ”
Meng Fusheng promised to send Yaya out first, but the officers and soldiers did not agree at first, but Meng Fusheng repeatedly assured Yaya that there was no sign of infection, so they were willing to let her out.
The most important thing is that Yaya is young, and her red eyes look at people, which is particularly distressing.
This time, the old mayor didn't say anything, just let him treat casually, anyway, his life is like this, and Meng Fusheng is his benefactor after healing, the benefactor of everyone in their town, if he can't be healed, it's also their life, and no one can be blamed.
Meng Fusheng can only guarantee that he will do his best, he is sure, but he is not completely sure, he can't be too full of words, so that people should not have hope in vain.
The first medicine Meng Fusheng boiled out gave the mayor to drink, the first bowl had no effect, and Meng Fusheng was not in a hurry.
Three days later, the old mayor's fever that had lasted for four days gradually decreased, and his stomach was no longer uncomfortable, which was already a very encouraging development, and even the old mayor who had no hope happily held Meng Fusheng's hand and burst into tears.
With the effect, and under the impetus of the respected old mayor, all the people began to take the medicine, and the effect was remarkable and exciting.
Seeing that the deadline for setting fire to the town had arrived, Meng Fusheng took the town mayor to find the officers and soldiers, and they saw that the old town mayor who had been struggling to breathe was ruddy, and he was full of anger when he spoke, and he was also very happy, and immediately promised to report this matter to the above, as for the matter of burning the town, it would be seen whether this medicine had a complete cure in the end.
Meng Fusheng was full of confidence, watching those whose vitality was visible to the naked eye disappearing and rejuvenated because of himself, the excitement and joy that ordinary people could not experience.
However, two days later, someone's condition suddenly deteriorated, which immediately caused panic.
This feeling, like just knowing that you can climb out of hell, and the next second you know that you will fall into the next hell after crawling out, no one will not be driven crazy by this feeling, and some people even cry on the spot.
Obviously, a few days ago, they were numb when they knew that they were going to die, but now that the hope of life is ahead, they don't want to die.
Someone fainted crying in front of Meng Fusheng, and this deep grief affected Meng Fusheng, he shook the hands of the patients and promised them: "I will definitely let you recover." ”
He didn't believe that his medicine was useless, because he could see that their bodies were getting better step by step a few days ago, so it was very likely that it was something else, and he had to check it carefully.
He surveyed the dozen or so people whose conditions had suddenly worsened, and found that they all had one thing in common: they all had a well in their homes.
Meng Fusheng felt that this was a breakthrough point, he went to one of the houses to get some people, and as soon as he got closer and sniffed it, he smelled a strange smell, and he decided to take it back and study it carefully.
Half a day later, the results came out, and the well water was poisonous.
When the old mayor heard this, his face immediately darkened, "Who is so ruthless to do such a thing, poisoning the well water, but it is a dirty thing to cut off children and grandchildren." ”
Meng Fusheng immediately asked, "Where did this well water come from?" ”
"The water used by the people of our whole town is taken from the Liuyi River, which is not far from here, but only a dozen households have wells. It seems that we escaped because we didn't use the water in the river for the first few days. ”
Meng Fusheng immediately asked him to take himself to take the Liuyi River.
The Liuyi River is a long river that is crystal clear.
Meng Fusheng scooped up a little water with his hand, sniffed it closely, and sure enough, he smelled the same smell as the water in the well, although he already had a plan in his heart, but he was not good at judging directly, so he took a little back, planning to study it.
Sure enough, the river water has the same poison as the well water.
Meng Fusheng immediately asked the townspeople not to drink the water in the river for the time being, and then went to find the officers and soldiers who were still guarding outside the town and told them about it.
Ever since he knew that Meng Fusheng had a way to cure the plague, there was a small official from outside the town who could be in charge of the power, so when he heard the news that the river water used by the townspeople had been poisoned, he promised to provide enough water for the townspeople to use, so that they would not have to worry.
After the use of poisonous water was stopped, the efficacy of Mengfu's crude medicine became more and more significant, and the epidemic among the townspeople was brought under control and showed a trend of recovery.
It was also at this time that Meng Fusheng proposed to the official that the plague of the townspeople was a fake plague, which was actually a poisonous phenomenon, not actually contagious, and the reason for the illness was that they all drank the water in the river, which was caused by the unknown poison in it.
According to the evidence presented by Meng Fusheng, the officials also took water to find some doctors, and they all got the poisonous statement, and later proved that the "plague" in Xingyun Town was not contagious, so it was definitely not a plague.
The officials hurriedly wanted to report the matter to the imperial court, and also wanted to ask for a credit for Meng Fusheng, after all, if it weren't for him, the residents of Xingyun Town would have died in vain.
But Meng Fusheng refused, and after leaving the last few pills, he quietly left.
It's just that when he just left Xingyun Town, he was washing his hands and feet by a river, and after walking a few steps, he heard the sound of discussion behind him, and he didn't plan to pay attention to it, but the three words "sprinkle in" from afar stopped his pace.
I don't know when three masked men came to the river, all of them holding a cloth bag in their hands, and they were about to open it and scatter it into the river.
This sneaky action immediately attracted Meng Fusheng's attention, making him think of the Liuyi River in Xingyun Town, and immediately jumped out and shouted: "What are you doing!" ”
Those people were thieves with weak hearts, and they fled as soon as they saw Meng Fusheng turn around.
Meng Fusheng thought that they might have something to do with the "plague" incident in Xingyun Town, where would they be allowed to run, and they would catch up with them.
But they can also do martial arts, although they are not high, but they are not only able to write three-legged cat kung fu, plus they are divided into three directions to escape, Meng Fusheng is lacking in skills, gritted his teeth, and ran after one of them.
