Chapter 53 The Epidemic in Anhe County
Everyone stumbled and stumbled and drove the car for a month, and finally arrived in Anhe County.
The gate of the county town in front of him was closed, leaving only the sharpened wooden stake guardrail, but there were no soldiers or officials guarding it.
The strangest thing is that there is not a single refugee under the city.
Gu Anxia suppressed his doubts and shouted a few times, and shook the token in his hand at the city tower.
There is a head on the city wall, and he is wearing the official hat of the county lord, which should be the county order of Anhe County.
This person's face was pale, and he glanced at Gu Anxia, and he didn't know if he had seen the token clearly, so he only heard him say loudly:
"I'm sorry guys! Flee for your life elsewhere.
There are already several villages in this county where there is an epidemic, and the official doesn't want to see you lose your lives in vain if you don't let you enter the city! ”
The villagers of Daao Village fled all the way to this point, and the words of the county order on the city tower seemed to cut off their only hope.
Thinking about the hardships and hardships suffered these days, the Gu Fang clan of the Guli family howled and cried, and the ancient people endured the tears for a long time, and they also broke the embankment all of a sudden.
For a while, the whole team was in mourning, and the men's faces were pale, and their eyes were red, and they were more desperate!
"Fourth uncle, tell them that we have a doctor here, and we can diagnose and treat the people inside."
Gu Anxia swept away the decline when he heard this, and said eagerly with red circles:
"Tuan Tuan! Can you really cure the epidemic?! ”
"Let's take a look at the patient first, there are still seven or eight points of certainty."
Gu Anxia nodded, and shouted at the city tower with full blood.
At the end, he also added a sentence that if he was lucky enough to cure the epidemic in the county, he hoped that the adults would allow his eight families to settle here.
The county commander promised with a mouthful of promises:
As long as you can cure the epidemic, this official will ask you for credit to the imperial court! As for settling down, you can choose wherever you want at that time, and there is no disagreement.
"Dad, you take a few uncles, build a shed here at the city gate, and set up a table and chairs, and I will treat people in a while."
Gu Tianxing has often studied the 'Encyclopedia of Pills' these days, and he has a lot of confidence.
"Tuan Tuan, you came to take a look at the boiling of several large pots of water, is it enough?" Seeing that the water was boiling, the old lady hurriedly called his granddaughter.
"That's pretty much enough! Uncle, please pour this hot water on that piece and pour it a few more times to get rid of evil spirits. When the wind dries, everyone rests here. ”
As soon as Li Zheng heard that boiling water can get rid of evil spirits, he set up a few cauldrons, and there is no way to live, so what water can be saved!
After doing this, I couldn't help but take the big guy away from the city gate.
Qingzhu moved a long bench and sat at the gate of the city with Gu Tianxing, asking the county magistrate what symptoms the people who had the epidemic were there.
When the adult saw that it was only an eight or nine-year-old girl who asked him, he immediately felt that a basin of cold water was poured on his heart.
Secretly shook his head, hey, it seems that there is little hope!
But he still replied in the same way, thinking: It should be a dead horse as a live horse doctor!
Gu Tianxing carefully recorded, fever, abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, aren't these all symptoms of dysentery? It seems that there is no need for any elixir.
Pretending to look at the two patients who were carried out by the yacha, he threw his consciousness into the house of Shui Lanxing in the spirit bead, and soon found the "Miscellaneous Illness Huixin Record" in the collection of books in the study.
The recipe for the treatment of epidemic dysentery recorded on it is copied down:
Loess five coins, lentils four coins (fried), Poria cocos one coin, black beans three coins, licorice eight cents......
Gu Tianxing reported the prescription to the county order, and instructed him to pour a big bowl into each patient and take it at any time. The rest can only wait slowly.
Gu Tai was very angry, and felt that his granddaughter had this ability, so he didn't say it earlier, so that his howl was hoarse, and he couldn't say a word!
In fact, it was not only her, but also many women whose voices were hoarse, and the old father joked that it was much cleaner now.
After counting the days, Ma Er should have arrived at Jiang's Mansion, but I am afraid that the water shortage in Zhongzhou is getting worse.
Gu Tianxing glanced at Qingzhu, should he be asked to pick up the Jiang family and his party?
The Jiang family is not bad, but it is worth saving, but what if the family is not willing to come to this poor Anhe County? Do you want Qingzhu to run with them? I can't bear it!
"I'm not going to leave Miss!" Yes, before she could speak, she was blocked back by Qingzhu.
"It's not to leave, just go for a while, you can use your spiritual power to hurry, okay?"
Gu Tianxing estimated that with Qingzhu's cultivation and spiritual power, it would only take two or three days to go to the Jiang family. She took out a top-grade spirit stone left over from the last formation and handed it over:
"Well, this spirit stone is given to you, and you can replenish your spiritual power in case of an emergency on the way."
Qingzhu knew that Miss had made up her mind to help those mortals, so she had to nod her head and say that she would go to find those people in the Jiang family when they all entered the city.
……
On the Jiang family's side, Mrs. Jiang and her family are in a hurry.
"Dad, there is only one well left in the house that can still produce water, how is this good?"
"Yes, Daddy! Refugees are piling up at the gate of the city, and several grain shops in the city have been robbed.
The king's house in the west of the city was robbed, and the well was also occupied, I heard that a bowl of water can be sold for 500 Wen! I'm afraid the next person to suffer is people like us! ”
Boss Jiang's brothers were all arguing about their father's idea.
Old lady: "Hmph! With a sound, he raised his hand and smashed the teacup, and scolded with a slashing face:
"I don't have the ability to fart, I will only call my father when I encounter something! Do you have ornaments on your heads and necks? Lao Tzu is famous, why did he give birth to you brainless brutes? ……”
was scolding, the housekeeper trotted over, saying that Ma Er was back, and he was falling asleep at the moment.
The old lady immediately made a decision, asked the few rooms to go back to the yard to pack their bags, and instructed not to bring those brocade clothes and gorgeous clothes, but to change into cotton clothes prepared a month ago.
After the children left, the old couple sighed, and Mrs. Jiang said in a low voice:
"The family's family resources, book collection, and the dowries of several daughters-in-law have all been returned to the secret vault. Just don't you really bring some just in case? ”
The old lady shook her head and said:
You're a sensible person, why do you want to do such a foolish thing? At this time, if you bring those, it will become a talisman!
Besides, this secret vault has been passed down for generations, and nothing has gone wrong, and it is a fool's dream that these outcasts still want to discover it!
Early in the morning, as soon as the sky was polished, the courtyard of the Jiang family was full of carriages, except for food and water, there were only two quilts and a few sets of thick clothes.
This was added by Ma Er after he woke up, reminding everyone.
In the study, Ma Er kowtowed a few times to Mrs. Jiang and said: He has recognized Miss Tuan Tuan as the master, and he will not be loyal to his wife in the future.
Mrs. Jiang felt a little uncomfortable that her loyal servant had changed the court all of a sudden, but she was also grateful to him for coming back to report the news, and she would not blame him if she said that it was okay.
Old lady Jiang was even more determined to flee along the route taken by the ancient father, and he asked Ma Er, is there enough water on the road?
Ma Er frowned and shook his head lightly:
"Hundreds of miles, dripping water is hard to find!"
Mrs. Jiang was taken aback, she knew that Gu Tianxing could ask for water, but she was just wondering how Ma Er came back.
Ma Er only then told Gu Tianxing about borrowing his treasure, and he was afraid that the Jiang family would rely too much on this treasure, so he said bluntly:
"This thing can hold up to eight buckets of water, and it can only be used to save lives."
Mrs. Jiang thought about it for a while, and asked people to call the two in-laws who came to defect, namely the Ma family, the eldest daughter-in-law's maiden family, and the Zhang family, the third daughter-in-law's maiden family. The second daughter-in-law's mother's family was reluctant to come, so it was difficult to force it.
The three old ladies are combined, waiting is also death, running is also death, it is better to fight, in case you can find a way to live!
As a result, a vast group of people, protected by layers of guards, also embarked on the road of escape. The three families are all rich and noble, and the food belt is sufficient, and the most important thing to be concerned about now is the water problem.
At night, Second Mrs. Jiang secretly asked the maid to wash with half a basin of water, and after a day's journey, she could smell the smell of sweat on her body.
Early the next morning, Mrs. Jiang looked at the shallow bucket, scolded several daughters-in-law and said sharply:
What is the situation now, except for drinking water and cooking, no water is allowed!
In fact, this happened not only to their family, but also to the other two families, but there was no old woman in the family, the men were more careless, and no one was concerned about the water.
Mrs. Jiang is really grateful now, fortunately, she learned a lot of tips from Gu Tai before.
She instructed the maid to make masks and wear them for her children.
She also asked Xiao Si to cut the thatch along the way and weave it into a thatch mat to cover each bucket, which the old Tai taught her to prevent the water from running away (in fact, it is evaporation).
