Chapter 19: Good Medicine Bitter Taste

Su Jiudong's remarks exploded in the air like thunder, deafening and resonating, and Hecun was in an uproar when he heard it.

"So what are we going to do? Do you still have to sacrifice the sick? "Relatives of sick villagers are more concerned about this issue.

If Su Jiudong could stop the villagers from sinking into the pond, it would be a great lifesaver for them.

"Of course not! The sacrifice of the sick must stop, otherwise the gods will be even more angry, and the plague will be worse and more people will die! Are you willing to let your loved ones die of illness? ”

Su Jiudong asked angrily, and the crowd suddenly fell silent.

Although they were only peasants, and they did not have gold, silver and jewelry, but they still spared their lives.

Su Jiudong turned to the village chief and said in a serious tone: "Village chief, I don't know if you mistakenly believed who was lying to confuse the people, so that the villagers drowned the patient, but stopping now can calm the anger of the gods." Supplemented with medicinal herbs to cure diseases, the plague can subside. ”

Su Jiudong knew that the village chief and the person who spread the rumor did the matter of the patient in the sinking pond, and deliberately said this to him, in order to give the village chief a step and let him go down with the trend, so that the matter of the patient sinking in the pond could be really stopped.

Everyone's eyes looked at the village chief, waiting for his answer.

The village chief thought for a while, put on a painful expression, and turned to announce to the villagers: "Tomorrow will no longer sink the sick villagers into the pond, go home and take medicine to live." When the river god and the god of heaven are angry, the plague will naturally pass. ”

At this point, the absurd patient sinking pond incident came to an end.

The next day, when the government heard that the sinking pond had stopped in the village, it continued to send people to the village to distribute medicinal herbs, and told the villagers that they should not leave the village at will without the permission of the government.

The ancient methods of controlling the plague were similar to those of modern times, except isolation, medicine, and burning. The government did not allow people in the village to move around, but also deliberately controlled the scope of the plague and prevented the disease from spreading again.

Su Jiudong's family still lives in a simple house, and from time to time, the family members of patients who have survived the sinking pond have sent Su Jiudong's family medicinal materials distributed by the government.

Wen Yiheng found quicklime and realgar, smoked and sprinkled it in the yard with Su Jiudong, and began the daily disinfection work.

Today's sun is unusually bright. Without the dazzling light of summer, the golden light rushed all over the winter yard, as if to drive away this protracted plague.

"Is there anything you can do about this plague?"

Su Jiudong sprinkled quicklime in the water tank with stagnant water, and didn't look back at Wen Yiheng, so he asked directly.

The two have been together for a long time, and they have cultivated a bit of tacit understanding, and sometimes they say the same thing.

"How? It's their business to find a way, and I can only do a good job of taking medicine for defense, just for the stability of this small world. As for you,"

Wen Yiheng approached Su Jiudong and raised his hand to wipe away the lime powder that Su Jiudong had accidentally stained on the tip of her nose, "As for you, you are a miracle doctor." If you can cure my disease, you won't be afraid of this 'little' plague. ”

The days in the mountains are simple and stable, without the prosperity of the market, but they have their own fulfillment.

After Wen Yiheng came to Su Jiudong's side, Bailuo's skirt was no longer poisonous.

The occasional encounter with poisonous hair also relied on Su Jiudong's skillful hand to rejuvenate and escape the torture that accompanies the poisonous hair.

You use me to test the medicine, and I borrow you to practice.

Both of them conscientiously play the role of each other's patients and doctors, but they are also like a couple with a special form of getting along.

Su Jiudong is used to Wen Yiheng's ambiguous touching of his face and holding hands from time to time, and he will not be as embarrassed as he was at the beginning.

But when it comes to the plague condition, Su Jiudong's mood is still relatively heavy, "Ah Rong's condition is unknown, I observed Ah Rong's obvious symptoms, and also prepared a prescription, but I don't know if it will work yet, I still have to observe for a few more days." ”

"I'm sure you can come up with a cure for the plague, and my lady can do everything." Wen Yiheng immediately replied with a bright smile to Su Jiudong.

The beauty smiled, and all the troubles seemed to disappear.

Su Jiudong admitted that Wen Yiheng was indeed a beauty. He has a handsome and beautiful appearance, and a gentleman's elegance and calmness, and heaven and earth have indeed concentrated all the aura and beauty on him.

Su Jiudong came back to his senses from Wen Yiheng's smile and entered the room pretending that nothing had happened......

No, no, I can't let Wen Yiheng see her in front of him anymore.

Su Jiudong turned around and went to the kitchen to get the boiled medicinal juice, and decided to stay away from Wen Yiheng's demonic beauty for the time being.

Ah Rong drank the medicine and lay on the bed to recuperate, Liu Yunniang continued to boil the medicine in the small kitchen next to her, Su Jiudong went back to the house to smoke vinegar, and Wen Yiheng continued to sprinkle quicklime in the yard.

Su Tingan ran to follow him and sprinkled quicklime in the water, and Wen Yiheng doted on Su Ting'an to be careful not to let the water wet his clothes.

Su Jiudong saw Su Ting'an's courteous appearance beside Wen Yiheng, and a sense of tranquility rose in his heart, which did not match the current atmosphere of being shrouded in the spread of the plague, and everyone was in danger, and the days had been passing like flowing water.

After dinner that day, Su Jiudong went to the room where Ah Rong lived alone to deliver medicine.

Ah Rong ate and lived in the hut on the west side of the capital, and Su Jiudong deliberately did not let Liu Yunniang Su Ting'an have too much contact with Ah Rong.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Su Ting'an sitting on the edge of the bed, sharing the date candy that Wen Yiheng bought for him before with Ah Rong, who sat up and leaned against the pillow.

Su Jiudong's heart suddenly hung up, and he almost screamed.

Ah Rong's condition is not good, Su Ting'an actually came to Ah Rong's house with a big grin, and it is easy to be infected if she eats with Ah Rong like this.

"An'er!" Su Jiudong put down the medicine bowl and took the jujube candy to prevent Su Tingan and the others from continuing to eat.

"Mother." Su Tingan immediately stood up, his hands clinging to his sides.

"Sister Su." Ah Rong lowered her head timidly and clenched the remaining jujube candy in her palm, for fear that Su Jiudong would blame.

Su Jiudong looked at the guilty and frightened attitude of the two, and knew that her tone was too stern and eager just now, which frightened the two children.

Su Jiudong took Su Ting'an's shoulders and walked outside the house, and said to Wen Yiheng outside the house: "An'er, Sister Ah Rong is going to take medicine, you go to play with Daddy first." ”

Wen Yiheng took Su Ting'an from Su Jiudong's hand, touched Su Ting'an's little head, and comforted him: "Your aunt feeds your sister Ah Rong medicine, and Sister Ah Rong can play with you after taking the medicine."

Let's not disturb your A-Niang and A-Rong now. An'er is the most well-behaved and will understand your mother, right? ”

"Okay." Su Ting'an nodded obediently, and glanced outside at Ah Rong in the room. Ah Rong reluctantly smiled back at Su Ting'an, and Su Ting'an left with Wen Yiheng.
