Chapter 123: Seven Days
Before going out, Mrs. Gu asked the maid beside her to bring a piece of paper.
There were only three words written on the paper: "City God Temple." ”
Yan Su was puzzled, but when she asked the maid, the maid didn't know anything, and only said that it was given by the old lady.
"Does the old lady mean to let Miss you go to the City God Temple first?"
Chenghuang, also known as the god of Chenghuang and the god of Chenghuang, is one of the important gods of the Han nationality and religious culture. The City God Temple in Yecheng was built by the previous dynasty, and the famous generals of the former dynasty were also enshrined in it. Due to the change of dynasty, although the city god temple in Yecheng was not completely abandoned, the incense was burned.
"Do you know where the City God Temple in Yecheng is?" Yan Su closed the paper and asked Errong on the side.
"Yes." Errong nodded, lifted the curtain, and said a few words to the coachman: "I have already instructed, just Miss, will this place be in danger?" ”
Yan Su asked and thought of the protective clothing that Old Madam Gu gave her, found it, and handed it to Er Rong: "Although it is useless, at this time, it is better to wear it than not to wear it." ”
"There is only one, the slave wears it, what does the young lady wear?"
"I'll just have this." Yan Suwen pointed to his face: "Gu Xiang's wife, don't say that the City God Temple is the inner garden of the deep palace, and you can enter it with your brain." ”
"That's not what the slave meant." Er Rong stuffed the protective suit into Yan Suwen's hand: "The life of the slave and maid, if you lose it, you will lose it, Miss is different." ”
"Nonsense, whose life is not life, my life is really not much more expensive than yours." Yan Suwen raised his face rarely: "I just said that this dress will not play a role in this outbreak of the epidemic." You are allowed to wear it for people to see. ”
"The slave doesn't understand."
"This is the unified configuration of the Tai Hospital. Got it now? ”
Errong's eyes lit up, and then he said: "I understand, this dress is not worn to prevent disease, but to bluff people." Miss is the wife of the prime minister, even if she doesn't wear this dress, those people don't dare to stop Miss. But Errong is different, Errong is just an ordinary maid, if he doesn't have this clothes, I'm afraid he will be locked up as a casual person or a person who has been infected. ”
"My Errong is so smart."
"Miss, are you laughing at me?" Er Rong pursed his lips, but soon straightened the corners of his mouth again, took off his coat, and changed into the clothes given by Yan Suwen. White clothes, white pants and white veil, if it weren't for the word "doctor" written on the clothes, Errong would still think that he was going to someone's funeral. Because of this dress, it really looks like a mourning dress.
"Who made this dress?" Yan Suwen also saw it, his eyebrows were slightly closed, and he took his eyes off the extremely ugly clothes.
"I don't know, but I've heard that the official uniforms and regular uniforms of this hospital are all in charge of a special person. The slave maid also heard that if the people in this hospital enter the palace to treat those nobles, they must first fumigate with mugwort leaves, so most of the clothes are dark colored. ”
"This dress is useless, when the epidemic is over, you and Youbai go out to inquire and find a reliable garment workshop, and we will use the name of Xiangye to do business with the royal family."
"Miss wants to make clothes?"
"It's just a preliminary idea, whether it can be implemented depends on whether I have time after this matter is over." Yan Suwen thought about it very seriously.
Because of the spread of the epidemic, the imperial court issued a street closure order, and in the entire Yecheng, except for those officers and soldiers who were patrolling and the doctor in charge of the consultation, there was not a single person walking around at will. Yan Suwen rode in a carriage with the logo of the Prime Minister's Mansion, although he was questioned all the way, but no one dared to stop him, and it didn't take long to arrive at the City God Temple in Yecheng.
"The carriage of the Prime Minister's House? I haven't heard that Xiangye is back in the city. ”
"It's not Xiangye, it's Xiangye's wife."
"Mrs. Xiangye?"
Before he got out of the carriage, he heard someone talking outside, Yan Suwen gave Errong a look, Errong nodded, lifted the curtain, and said outside: "It's my wife!" ”
"The minister has seen Madame!"
"You adults don't have to be polite, Su Wen is not in the court, and there is no official rank, so you can't afford these courtesies performed by adults." Yan Su asked, handed his hand to Er Rong, and the person walked out of the carriage. Heavy troops were stationed in front of the City God Temple, and there were three layers of encirclement inside and out.
"Su asked."
A man in protective clothing walked out of the innermost layer quickly, and when he arrived, Yan Suwen recognized that it was his eldest brother Yan Weilin. Because of staying up late, his eyes were red and his throat was dumb.
"Why was the big brother tossed like this?"
"The epidemic is serious and difficult to control, so it's good that you're here." Yan Weilin said as he said to the people around him: "Hurry up and get another set of clothes for Madame." ”
"Lord Yan, this is Mrs. Xiangye, ...... you let people take clothes?"
"Lord Lu doesn't know, this Mrs. Xiangye is also my second sister. She has excellent medical skills, and whether this epidemic can be controlled or not depends on my sister. ”
Yan Su asked that she was indeed here to participate in the treatment, but whether she could be cured or not, she didn't know what to do. She is a doctor, although she has lived many lives, but in the end she is a human being and not a god, and she does not dare to say anything or promise anything before confirming the cause of the disease, the symptoms of the disease and the treatment plan. But what the eldest brother said suddenly lifted her to a high place, making her feel like it was difficult to ride a tiger.
"Could it be that Mrs. Xiangye's medical skills are even better than those of the two Lord Yan?" The imperial physician surnamed Lu was questioning what Yan Weilin had just said. "This epidemic is very important, Lord Yan must not find someone to come over casually in order to excuse Old Lord Yan. It's just a matter of finding someone casually, but the one you are looking for is Mrs. Xiangye. Xiangye's temper, we are all clear, what if...... Lord Yan, have you ever thought about the consequences? ”
"Thank you Lord Lu for reminding me, but as the daughter of my Yan family, she is a doctor first, and then the wife of the prime minister of Great Wei." Yan Weilin arched his hand and said: "The epidemic is raging, and my Yan family will never delay the affairs of the court because of themselves." My father's medical skills are not perfect, and he failed the emperor's expectations, and he deserves to be imprisoned. After all, compared to going to prison, the lives of those people inside are the most important. ”
"All the sick people are locked up here?" Yan Su asked.
"Not all, some of them were sent to Yong'an Temple." Yan Weilin led Yan Suwen to the City God Temple: "When the epidemic was first confirmed, I proposed to my father that I would go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find you. But my father hesitated and refused to let go, and I couldn't make an assertion. In addition, as an elder brother, he does not want to involve his sister in danger. ”
"What the eldest brother thinks in his heart, the younger sister knows." Yan Suwen nodded, and a reassuring smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The people in the temple were still busy, and the imperial doctors in white protective suits were shuttling between the patients. They know very well that this is a war completely different from the fight against the enemy, and if they win it, they will not only save their own lives, but also the lives of ordinary people, and it is also the society of the Great Wei Dynasty.
"Lord Yan, the patient over there is dying."
An old lady with gray hair ran up and down.
Yan Suwen followed and saw a patient lying there, his facial muscles, hands and feet stiffened to varying degrees.
"When did this person get sick?"
"Three days ago."
"When you found out, what were the symptoms?"
"Fever, first a fever in the head, similar to a cold, followed by a fever all over the body, cough, numbness in the hands and feet."
"Pulse ......" Yan Suwen clasped his hand on his wrist, and then changed his face: "His pulse is gone." ”
"Yes, anyone who has spread to this point has such symptoms, as if the whole person has been frozen from the inside to the outside."
"He can't do it." Yan Suwen stood up and looked around at the patients who were still lying in the City God Temple: "Are these people all patients who were found within three days?" ”
"Most of them are, but one is inside and out." Yan Weilin pointed to a man leaning in the corner: "That person was only discovered yesterday, but according to his physical signs and his personal oral statement, it took at least seven days for him to find symptoms to numbness in his hands and feet." For seven days, most of the people here had been burned and buried in the ground. ”
"Seven days?"
"Only he is seven days, and the rest of the people can last three days at most. In three days, a person who was jumping around turned into a zombie like that. Pain, not necessarily how painful, but Su Wen, think about it, if this disease spreads to the whole city, or even the entire Great Wei, it will be a terrible thing. ”
"What does that guy do?"
"A farmer who grows vegetables, but unlike other farmers, he has a bit of a business mind, and gathers the farmers in several villages near Yecheng, and those farmers are responsible for planting and picking vegetables, and he is responsible for selling these vegetables to various mansions and restaurants and restaurants in Yecheng. It can be said that the vegetables eaten by most of us in Yecheng are sent in through his hands, including our Yan family. ”
"He's a shrewd man." Yan Suwen praised sincerely.
"Oh, and besides, he has a convoy under his name, and the people in charge of driving the cars are also from nearby farmers, and those trucks are also specialized in transporting vegetables and fruits, and occasionally some live poultry. Therefore, we suspect that he is most likely the first person in Yecheng to be infected. ”
"What did he say himself?"
"He said he didn't know, he didn't know anything." Yan Weilin's eyes sank: "But I always feel that he didn't tell the truth." Because, when he spoke, his eyes dodged, and he looked at his numb hand, intentionally or unintentionally. ”
"What about his family? Are they all sick? ”
"He is an orphan, he grew up eating hundreds of meals since he was a child, and he doesn't have anyone particularly close to him."
"What about the wife and children?"
"He is not married, so he has no wife or children. Usually, I often go to a place. ”
"Hualou?"
"Hmm." Yan Weilin replied in an inaudible voice: "The people in the building have all died of illness, so there is nowhere to find out who the girl close to them is." ”
