The next day, in the county office, Liu Hong sat quietly, as if waiting for someone, and after a while, there was a knock on the door outside the house, Liu Hong opened his slightly closed eyes, and said lightly: "Come in." ”

Then the door was pushed open with a "squeak", and Doctor Zhao walked in, saluted Liu Hong, and said, "I've seen my lord." ”

Liu Hong didn't have any extra nonsense, and handed a scroll of silk on the bookcase to the direction where Doctor Zhao was standing.

Although Physician Zhao was puzzled why Liu Hong specially sent someone to summon him and why he handed him a silk book, since Liu Hong had already made such a gesture, he could not let him wait for a long time, so after thinking about it, Doctor Zhao stepped forward and respectfully took the silk book from Liu Hong's hand.

"Look at it." Liu Hong saw that Doctor Zhao took the silk book and said softly.

"Yes." Doctor Zhao hurriedly opened the silk book, read it, and only looked up at Liu Hong in surprise for a long time, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.

Liu Hong shook his head, and did not show the slightest sign of solving Doctor Zhao's doubts, but continued to ask, "Sir, what do you think of these prescriptions, and can they be effective?" ”

"This-" Doctor Zhao was speechless, and after a while, he arched his hand, and said with some hesitation: "Shu Xiaomin is a shallow learner, and he can't see the details of this prescription, but this prescription is unusual, and it may have some effect." ”

"Really?" Liu Hong said with some disappointment, but he immediately restrained his emotions, which was what he expected.

"Then Doctor Zhao might as well make the medicine as described in the prescription and give it a try to those people in isolation."

"Yes." Dr. Zhao was ordered to step down.

After Dr. Zhao left, Liu Hong's eyes suddenly became melancholy, listening to the words of an eleven or twelve-year-old erection, Liu Hong himself felt crazy, but now, what can he do.

……

People will always die, it's just a matter of time or time, those who die early may not be particularly sentimental, and those who live long may not be able to be relieved.

At least, Zhou He didn't have much fear of death at this moment, he looked at Miss Liu on the side of the bed, holding her waist with his hands, and his heart was warm.

Maybe Zhou He's movements were a little too big, or maybe Miss Liu was pretending to be asleep - women always like this, anyway, Miss Liu woke up, she turned her head to look at her husband, but unlike the gentleness in Zhou He's eyes, Miss Liu's eyes were full of guilt and self-blame.

Zhou He rolled his head on the pillow, and on the bed, some actions were so helpless: "Madam, don't be like this, this is my willingness." ”

"Ahem." Halfway through the words, Zhou He couldn't help coughing, yes, Zhou He has also been infected with the plague, and if he doesn't die, he won't die, this matter has been doomed since Zhou He stubbornly wanted to be quarantined with his wife.

The more guilty Miss Liu felt in her eyes, she always felt that she had harmed her husband, if it wasn't for herself, Zhou He would not have been quarantined, and she would not have contracted the plague.

"Bell! Clang! Clang! ”

The sound of drumsticks hitting gongs sounded outside the house, and hearing this sound, Zhou He struggled to get up from the bed, this usually simple action seemed extremely difficult for Zhou He, who was now sick.

"Husband!" Miss Liu struggled to get up, but Zhou He stopped her, shook her head, and staggered out of the house.

These gongs were not played casually, but a rallying cry to summon patients to receive food, which was the only thing Liu Hong could do for these quarantined people.

Zhou He went out and came to the courtyard, there were a few more unfamiliar faces but a few less familiar faces, when he first came, there seemed to be more than a hundred people here, but in the past few days, he couldn't count how many people were here.

Under the unified command of the well-dressed patrolmen, Zhou He honestly received his and his wife's share of the wheat cakes, but just as he was about to leave, he was stopped.

"Stand over there first, and then there's something to announce." A patrolman pointed to the open space next to him and said to Zhou He.

Zhou He was puzzled, but he still honestly went over and stood up.

After a while, the patients who had finished receiving the things also came to Zhou He's side one by one to be with him, until everyone was there.

At this time, a leader-looking patrolman stood up and said loudly: "Fellow villagers, now Doctor Zhao has developed a new medicine on the orders of Lord Cheng of the county. ”

At this, the crowd suddenly became noisy, and as if an invisible force was working involuntarily, they rushed forward, and they were about to crash into the patrol in front of them to maintain order, but at this moment the leader shouted, "Silence! "The crowd just stopped.

"Why is this sound so familiar?" Zhou He moved to his heart and looked at the leader, just at a glance, Zhou He recognized this tightly wrapped person, isn't this the person who caught him the day before.

But at this moment, Zhou He didn't have much resentment in his heart, at first he thought that these official servants were no different from the Zhao family's dogs, and they were just caught in a dilapidated place to fend for themselves, but when they entered the quarantine area, Zhou He found that it was not the case, although the house was not big, it was still clean, and there was a certain amount of food every day, which was simply a paradise for Zhuoxian County now, because of the strong contrast between this tragic imagination and the beautiful reality, Zhou He was a little grateful.

Although Wang Wu is calm on the surface at the moment, he has a headache in his heart, if this matter is based on his opinion, it is best to avoid the important and light, and even get a method such as drawing lots to highlight the preciousness of this test drug quota, compared to the test medicine that these small people will definitely bee chrysalis, as for life and death, suffering from the warm epidemic is already doomed to death, and there is still a glimmer of hope after testing the medicine.

However, my sister-in-law has to be open and honest by herself, and she must not hide it at all, how can Wang Wu, who has risen from the market, not know the thoughts of these small people - greedy for profit and spare their lives, and I am afraid that I will miss the time when the time comes.

But thinking like this, Wang Wu didn't have the idea of putting it into practice, Wang Wu clearly knew who he was relying on for his current prestige, so Wang Wu finally said:

"But the medicine is finally a new system, and its effect is unknown, so today I am on the order of the county lord, and I am looking for people who voluntarily test the medicine."

After saying this, the crowd hurriedly retreated again, the test of the medicine sounds good, what should I do if the test is dead? Although his life is short, but it seems that the remaining days are precious, it is better to wait for others to try the medicine, if it is really effective, then he will ......

Thinking of this, everyone in the crowd looked at the people around them almost invariably, and then turned their heads in fright, pretending to be indifferent.

Wang Wu shook his head slightly, sure enough, the small people could only lure him with profit, so Wang Wu continued:

"Don't panic, folks, those who try the medicine add a meal every day, and if the medicine is effective, their relatives who are sick can be given priority treatment."

However, although there was some commotion in the crowd, they soon returned to calm, and everyone bowed their heads and kept silent.

"Okay then." Wang Wu sighed, "Folks, think about it again, and when you come back in the afternoon, you will give me the answer." ”

After speaking, Wang Wu led the county government patrol and left, and the crowd dispersed one by one, but Zhou He, who was walking on the way back, was not calm in his heart, I have to say, he was a little moved.

After returning home, Zhou He closed the doors and windows, and then carefully helped Miss Liu on the couch up against the wall, and then handed the wheat cake in his arms: "Madam, you can eat quickly." ”

"Husband." Miss Liu raised her head and looked at Zhou He: "You eat too, cough, cough." ”

"Ma'am, what's wrong with you?" Zhou He heard these two coughs, and hurriedly bent down and said anxiously.

"Cough, cough, it's okay, husband, you can eat it too, cough, if you don't eat, the concubine won't eat it." Miss Liu coughed.

"Okay, good, I'll eat, I'll eat." Zhou He didn't refuse, stuffed the wheat cake into his mouth, and said while eating, but because his mouth was mixed with rough food, the sound was very faint.

Miss Liu smiled softly, coughed lightly twice, and gently snuggled up to Zhou He's body.

……

Liu Hong paced back and forth anxiously in the room, until the door was pushed open and Wang Wu stumbled in.

Liu Hong didn't care about this rude behavior of "entering without knocking" as usual, but instead stared at Wang Wu nervously and asked, "Ziyong, how is it?" ”

"Haha." Wang Wu laughed and raised his head to reveal his happy face: "Sister-in-law, it works, it works, one of these recipes works!" ”

"Hahaha!" Hearing this answer, Liu Hong's negative emotions in the past few days were swept away, and he laughed.

After laughing, Liu Hong looked serious again, and said to Wang Wu: "Ziyong, you will organize people to purchase boiling medicinal materials now, by the way, let Master Wang go with you, as for the cost, I will first draw it out." ”

"Sister-in-law, this-" Wang Wu raised his head in shock, this is an official, how can it damage the truth of private fat and public affairs.

"Okay, don't say more, I'm determined, Ziyong, go quickly."

Waiting for Wang Wu to leave, Liu Hong shook his head in distress, if the county government was rich, why should he do this.

After bidding farewell to Wang Wu, Liu Hong hurriedly returned home and found Liu Bei.

"Father?" Liu Bei was a little puzzled when he saw Liu Hong, who was panting slightly, shouldn't his father be in charge of epidemic prevention affairs in the county government at this time?

"Xuande." Liu Hong didn't talk nonsense, and asked straight to the point: "Do you know where Hua Tuo is?" ”

Liu Bei was confused when he heard this, but his thoughts turned and he said in surprise: "That recipe works?" ”

Liu Hong nodded and continued to ask: "Okay, don't be verbose, quickly say where Hua Tuo is?" ”

"Isn't it effective?" Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, not understanding why his father chased after Hua Tuo.

Liu Hong glared at Liu Bei and said, "Who said anything about the epidemic?" If it is cured, then it is okay, if it intensifies, then it is always okay to make some preparations in advance. ”

At this point, Liu Bei had no choice but to say: "If the child is not mistaken, then Doctor Hua should be from Peiguo County, Yuzhou." ”

After Liu Hong listened, he turned around and left, without a little mud and water, he still had a lot of things to arrange.

Liu Bei fell into deep thought on the spot, if Hua Tuo really came, and his father learned the whole story of Fang Zi, and then asked himself, what should he say at that time?
