CHAPTER XXII

"And what are you doing back?" Before a few people could speak, the man flicked his sleeves, and the silver needles glowing with green light pierced the brains of several people, but in a moment, several people fell to the ground bleeding from all their knots.

"Someone came, burned and buried a few of them for me, and I don't know if there is a plague on my body, but I dare to come back." As soon as the man gave the order, someone came out and carried a few people away and burned them, "It seems that this King of Chang'an is really difficult to deal with, I'm afraid my mind is going to be in vain." ”

The tiger cat next to him "meowed" and yawned with his mouth open, like a little tiger.

"Keep an eye on me, report back at any time."

"Yes." Someone in the shadows answered, and a gust of wind blew, and calm returned to the cave.

Outside, the moonlight was cold, and the crows quacked.

After Cheng Ge woke up, he looked at the chaos of the prefect's yamen and looked confused. When I heard the guards report to the prefect, I realized what had happened last night, and immediately felt that the treatment of the plague was imminent.

"I didn't know it last night." Cheng Ge scratched his head, now he fell asleep like a dead pig, and he became known, but he was a princess, and no one should laugh at him.

"You must be extra careful when you go out today." Qin Changqi advised, "We help them, but the more important thing is to protect ourselves." ”

Cheng Ge didn't expect Qin Changqi to say such a thing, but he had a new opinion of him, he thought that he would be the kind of person who would do anything to achieve his goals, after all, he was in a high position and did not understand the suffering of the world.

"We know that in two days they will improve, and then we just need to deal with the rest of the matter." Cheng Ge estimated the work to be done in the past few days, and made arrangements for the embroidery girl in the house and the doctor in Chengzhou.

Qin Changqi nodded, according to her thoughts, the plague treatment in Chengzhou should be completed soon. However, it is imperative to get the people of the city to cooperate with their work, and there are many people who cannot accept the lockdown.

Seeing that the hour was approaching, Cheng Ge and Qin Changqi and his party hurriedly rushed to the city tower. There were already a lot of people gathered downstairs, chattering, and it could be heard from their discussions that they were like those officials in the court at the beginning, and they had great taboos about the closure of the city.

"Everyone, be quiet, everyone." Liao Qing stood on the city tower and shouted loudly, and the people's voices gradually became smaller, "Everyone has always disagreed with the closure of the city before, and I can understand everyone's thoughts very well." But now the situation in the city is also known to everyone, and if the city is not locked down now, more people may be infected. ”

"How is that possible? Isn't it uncomfortable to be infected, how can you infect others? "Some people under the castle tower raised objections, they simply thought that as long as they were infected, they would get sick.

"There are a lot of people who are infected now and may not have developed the disease yet, so they won't feel anything. If we don't find out until they get sick, it's too late. Cheng Ge said loudly, "If someone is infected and goes out of the city, every place he walks may infect a lot of people, we have lost family and friends, why should we let others lose family and friends?" They provided us with medicinal herbs, clothing, silver taels, money donations, and powerful contributions, can you bear that they are also involved in this turmoil? ”

When the people heard this, they couldn't help but talk about it.

"My grandmother is in the town next door, and if she gets infected, I'm afraid I won't be able to stand it."

"My granddaughter was just born, so she can't be infected!"

"If others are infected because of us, will they scold us to death and stop playing with our children in the future?"

“……”

"I am the princess of Chang'an, and I will advance and retreat with everyone." Cheng Ge saw that the people were beginning to have concerns, and said loudly.

"I am the king of Chang'an, the emperor attaches great importance to this matter, you don't have to worry." Qin Changqi said beside Cheng Ge, "The closure of the city is just an expedient measure, and within seven days, the plague can be cured, and everyone will be able to live normally at that time." ”

"Seven days?" The people were talking about it, the plague had taken away their family, friends and neighbors, and if after seven days, they could live as normal as before, it would be a luxury that they could not imagine!

"Yes, only seven days." Cheng Ge looked at the people and was generous in his heart, "As long as everyone cooperates with us well in the past five days, we will definitely be able to defeat this plague." ”

"What if it doesn't work?" Suddenly, a man said loudly, and the people fell silent.

Everyone hoped that the plague would pass quickly, and when Chengsong promised that everyone could defeat the plague in five days, the people chose to believe it without thinking about it, but they didn't believe in Chengge, but they didn't want to think about it anymore, what would they do if the plague continued to run rampant?

"As long as I'm here, I'm going to defeat him. I hope everyone will also cheer up, the plague is like a spring, if you are weak, he will be strong, but if you are strong, it will be weak. Cheng Ge encouraged the people, she really didn't want to see the people lose hope, "As long as we work together, we can definitely overcome it!" ”

The people didn't understand what a spring was, but seeing that Cheng Ge's thin body was full of strength, her confident appearance infected everyone, and the people gradually felt at ease.

"Everyone is safe now, but we still have to take precautions." Cheng Ge continued, signaling the guards downstairs to distribute masks to the people, "Everyone, pay attention, hang the ropes on both sides of your ears, the cotton cloth completely covers the nose and mouth, remember, you can only take off the mask when there are few people or when you are eating." ”

Then, Cheng Ge taught the people all the ways to make masks, and the people were full of praise for the princess from the capital. In their eyes, the royal relatives should be the kind of nobles who are high up and don't eat fireworks, but they didn't expect there to be such a kind princess.

Seeing that there was no obstacle to the closure of the city, Liao Qing began to arrange people to do it, and many young and middle-aged people also said that they could help, and the people of the entire Chengdu Prefecture made a strong contribution to fight the plague together.

Because he promised Qin Changqi yesterday not to go to the patient's courtyard, Cheng Ge discussed the prescription with Lu Changting first.

"My suggestion is to use a new prescription today, and those with mild symptoms should use this, such as parsnip, Poria cocos, Bupleurum, etc., one dose a day, which has the effect of diverging wind and cold, relieving the surface and dispelling dampness. Seriously ill patients can try forsythia, honeysuckle, raw licorice, etc., which are pungent and cool," Cheng Ge took out the prescription he chose from the system yesterday, "Do you have any opinions?" ”

Lu Changting took the prescription and looked at it carefully, thought for a moment, and couldn't help but praise it: "The princess's prescription is really wonderful!" Although the medicinal materials are very ordinary, they can be said to hit the nail on the head against this plague! ”
